BondAuction has partnered with The Housing Finance Corporation to improve access to affordable housing finance in the UK.
Affordable housing aggregator The Housing Finance Corporation provides funding solutions for more than 150 housing associations across the UK. It holds a loan book of close to £8 billion.
On primary debt capital markets (DCM) platform BondAuction, investors can place bids in issuances. All bids are then allocated at a single clearing price through an open auction process – similar to government bond auctions.
This facilitates real-time price discovery and improves transparency, the company says, while allowing issuers and underwriters to set deal terms and execute faster and with less risk.
Through the partnership, BondAuction will support The Housing Finance Corporation’s issuances and, more broadly, aims to improve access to finance for the housing association sector.
“[The partnership] realises the platform’s benefits for social good—helping to enable access to efficient financing for the affordable housing sector,” commented BondAuction’s co-founder Spencer Maclean.
