Nearly € 0 billion in portfolio assets

Over 0 % of overcollateralisation ratio
Our obligations foncières offer double protection to investors
The obligations foncières issued by Caffil are strictly regulated, which allows them to obtain the best ratings from rating agencies and to offer minimal risk to investors.
These obligations foncières offer double protection to investors :
A portfolio of high-quality assets
They are guaranteed by a low-risk asset portfolio on Caffil’s balance sheet, which consist of loans to French public sector institutions or loans fully guaranteed by them
Legal and economic security
They benefit from legal privilege, with the sums from the asset portfolio being allocated as a priority to the payment of interest and the redemption of the obligations foncières.
Caffil ensures the security of these obligations foncières thanks to four pillars
To benefit from the legal privilege, the ratio between the asset portfolio and the obligations foncières issued (coverage ratio), set by law, is a minimum of 105%. In reality, Caffil maintains a higher level of overcollateralisation in order to meet the requirements of the rating agencies in this respect.
