Market Leadership in Government-Guaranteed Loans and Pools

Innovation is a hallmark of Coastal endeavors. In the area of government-guaranteed loans, this commitment to innovation has produced capabilities unparalleled among regional firms.

Investment professionals at Coastal were among the first to devote a concentrated effort to marketing adjustable-rate guaranteed loan products, such as SBAs. Their vision, technical proficiency and marketing capacity led Coastal personnel to play a central role in developing the active secondary marketplace for these securities.

Today our staff clears more than $1 billion of government-guaranteed loans annually. We make markets in SBA loans, pools and I/O Strips, and constantly maintain one of the industry's largest and most diverse product inventories. We offer extensive analytical services and maintain one of the few proprietary CPR models for SBAs. Among assemblers authorized by the U.S. Small Business Administration, we consistently rank as one of the nation's top producers of SBA pools.

Similarly, we rank high nationally in the marketing of U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), Agency for International Development (AID) and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) loans.

Before a sale, through the settlement of each trade and thereafter, our goal is to blend product knowledge and extensive inventory with expert execution and clearing to provide you continuing opportunities for portfolio diversification with attractive yields.

Expertise In Taxable And Tax-Exempt Fixed Income Securities

Our expertise at Coastal spans the entire spectrum of taxable and tax-exempt fixed income securities and their markets.

We act as a dealer in government, agency, corporate, mortgage-backed and municipal bonds, and maintain substantial inventories of these instruments in the new-issue and secondary markets. Because of our analytical and structuring abilities, diverse inventories and trading capabilities, we have a competitive edge that enables our representatives to deliver timely counsel and efficient execution.

Our traders are nationally recognized for their knowledge and experience in the intricate and varied aspects of mortgage securities, such as CMOs, ARMs, balloons and other esoteric instruments. Additionally, we have the capability to structure cash flows within CMO tranches to meet our clients' needs.
