ALEXANDRIA, Va., June 4, 2012 /PRNewswire/ — Goal Financial, LLC (“Goal Financial”) announced today that it has created a warehouse funding facility to facilitate the purchase of federal government guaranteed student loans and has expanded the purchases of such loans consistent with an acquisition strategy originally announced via press release in October 2010. Goal Financial expects that the acquired loans will be permanently financed via sales from the warehouse to one or more of Goal Financial’s existing securitization master trusts, which include Education Loan Asset-Backed Trust I and Higher Education Funding I.

Jim Rothberg, Goal Financial’s Treasurer, said “Our master trust structure provides us with an efficient financing option, enabling us to pursue loan acquisitions that would be uneconomic to other investors in the FFELP student loan sector.”
