Representative asset classes include residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS) (including Australian RMBS, REMIC re-securitization transactions, agency securitizations, non-performing and re-performing RMBS transactions and servicing transfers), collateralized loan obligations, commercial mortgage-backed securities and other structured transactions.
