Commenting on today's announcement, Paragon's Chief Executive, Nigel Terrington, said:

"We are delighted to announce the completion of Paragon's first SONIA based securitisation transaction. The underlying portfolio is made up of high-quality buy-to-let mortgages which continue to show an exemplary credit profile. The loans in PM26 are largely fixed rate and the swapped cost of the transaction is lower than both our previous securitisations and the current cost of retail funding. This demonstrates the optionality benefits of wholesale funding complementing Paragon's core retail funding strategy. The positive market reception is testament to the quality of Paragon's mortgage assets, investor confidence in our programme and the Group's position as one of the leading issuers in the UK securitisation market."
