Arizona Tribune - BHG Financial Closes a New ABS Transaction of Nearly $400 Million

DAVIE, FL / ACCESS Newswire / May 5, 2026 / BHG Financial, the leader in facilitating unsecured small business and personal loans and creator of one of the largest institutional networks in the country, sponsored BHG 2026-1CON, a $396 million ABS transaction that closed on April 29, 2026. This is the first 144A ABS deal of the year for BHG Financial.

BHG 2026-1CON priced at a weighted average coupon of 5.25% with a 99% advance rate, an impressive result achieved in a volatile, headline-driven market.

The transaction was received favorably by investors, generating orders exceeding $1.3 billion, representing a 3.3x oversubscription. Strong investor demand allowed BHG Financial to tighten pricing on three of the five offered tranches, an impressive outcome during the busiest ABS supply week since February 2026.

BHG 2026-1CON is the 12th 144A ABS transaction sponsored by BHG Financial since the start of its securitization program in 2020, and the fourth to be collateralized by 100% consumer loans. The other eight securitizations sponsored by BHG Financial included a mix of small business commercial and consumer loans.
