(Fort Lauderdale, FL) – AD Mortgage, an issuer of Non-QM Residential Mortgage-Backed Securities (RMBS),
is pleased to announce the closing of A&D Mortgage Trust 2026-NQM3 (ADMT 2026-NQM3),
the company's third securitization of 2026 — and a milestone transaction that underscores the company's rapid geographic expansion across the United States.
AD Mortgage has mandated ATLAS SP, BMO, JP Morgan, Mizuho, Morgan Stanley and Nomura as Joint Bookrunners, Academy Securities, AmeriVet Securities, Natixis and Piper Sandler as Co-Managers.
A defining feature of the $424.1 million deal is a dramatic reduction in Florida loan concentration, dropping to 23.0% of the collateral pool from 40.0% in the prior NQM2 transaction — a 17-percentage-point decline that signals AD Mortgage's successful growth into a truly national origination platform
The sharp reduction in Florida concentration is a direct result of AD Mortgage's acquisition of the Flagstar third-party originator (TPO) platform in early 2025,
which effectively doubled the company's broker network and accelerated loan production across new geographic markets.
What was once a Florida-rooted portfolio has rapidly evolved into a diversified national collateral pool, with the company's expanded broker relationships driving originations in markets far beyond its Fort Lauderdale headquarters.
"This transaction further demonstrates our commitment to providing consistent, high-quality non-QM RMBS product to the market," said Victor Kuznetsov, Managing Director of Imperial Fund Asset Management.
"With three deals now priced in 2026 and a clean, well-performing collateral pool, we continue to build on the strength of the AD Mortgage platform and the trust investors have placed in our securitization program.
The $424 million transaction marks Imperial Fund Asset Management’s (“Imperial Fund”) and AD Mortgage’s 31st securitization.
ADMT 2026-NQM3 represents the eleventh securitization under Atlas A&D Opportunity Fund III — Imperial Fund's most recent investment vehicle, established in partnership with Atlas
Merchant Capital — and the sixth transaction executed in collaboration with Canyon Partners, whose $250 million capital commitment continues to support the ADMT non-agency loan securitization program.
