RBS Continues to Expand Industry-Leading MBS, CMBS and ABS Strategy Team in the US

RBS Securities Inc. (RBS) today announced the appointment of Paul Jablansky as Managing Director, Senior Consumer ABS and Non-Agency Residential Strategist within its Global Banking & Markets (GBM) division in the Americas. The addition of Mr. Jablansky comes as RBS continues to strategically expand its comprehensive MBS, CMBS and ABS strategy team in the US. Mr. Jablansky will be based in Stamford, CT and report to Brian Lancaster, Managing Director and Head of MBS, CMBS and ABS Strategy.

Mr. Jablansky will lead the team’s Consumer ABS and Non-Agency MBS Strategy efforts. His appointment complements the Non-Agency Residential strategy role that Desmond Macauley, Managing Director, Non-Agency Residential Strategy—and a member of Institutional Investor’s All-America Fixed Income Team—has helped to spearhead over the past five years.

Prior to joining RBS, Mr. Jablansky was a Co-Founder, Co-Managing Partner, and Chief Investment Officer of 400 Capital Management LLC, an investment management company that focused on ABS, MBS and CMBS relative and absolute value strategies. From 2003 to 2008, he held senior positions at Bank of America, including the roles of Managing Director, Head of the Structured Portfolios Group and Global Head of Principal Finance where he managed a multi-billion dollar portfolio of mortgage and ABS assets. Mr. Jablansky started his career at Salomon Brothers in the early 1980s and later held fixed income research and strategy positions at Goldman Sachs and Citigroup. A seasoned analyst, Mr Jablansky is a seven-time member of Institutional Investor’s All-America Fixed-Income Research Team for Asset-Backed Securities.

RBS’s MBS, CMBS and ABS strategy team in the US has grown steadily over the past seven months and is now comprised of seven top-tier strategists. Last month, RBS announced the additions of Greg Reiter, Managing Director, Agency Residential Security Strategy and Jeana Curro, Vice President, Agency MBS/CMOs—both of whom have been ranked #1 in the Institutional Investor All-America Fixed Income rankings for Agency Structured Products Research and Agency Adjustable Rate Mortgage Research.

“We continue to take a very thoughtful and deliberate approach to expanding our comprehensive MBS, CMBS and ABS strategy team with the highest-caliber market professionals. The MBS, CMBS and ABS markets are full of opportunity but complex; this is where we come in to provide our clients with the extensive expertise and actionable, market driven ideas they need to achieve their financial goals.” said Mr. Lancaster.
