It had participation from more than 30 institutional investors, including five new entrants to the platform. The transaction closed on February 20, 2026, and represents Point’s seventh rated securitization.
“This level of demand reflects how far the HEI market has come,” said Eddie Lim, co-founder and CEO of Point. “Since pioneering the category in 2015, we’ve worked to build a durable, institutional-quality capital markets platform alongside our partners. The result is a platform designed to support consistent access to capital and enhance liquidity and transparency in the market, all while strengthening the long-term availability of home equity as a flexible financial tool for homeowners.”
