Nebraska Investment Finance Authority Single Family Housing Revenue Bonds Co-Managers and Selling Group Members Policy

Effective July 1, 2026

The Nebraska Investment Finance Authority (“NIFA”) has established a Co-Manager and Selling Group Syndicate Policy (the “Policy”), effective July 1, 2026, to govern the composition and participation of underwriting syndicates for issuances under its Single Family Housing Revenue Bond program.  The Policy is intended to promote transparency, efficiency, and consistent participation across underwriting firms supporting NIFA’s Single Family Housing Revenue Bond program.  The Policy will be in effect until June 30, 2028, however, NIFA reserves the right to amend or cancel the Policy at its discretion at any time.

Under this Policy, NIFA:

  • Designates a group of Continuous Co-Managers; and
  • Establishes two rotating syndicate groups comprised of Designated Co-Managers and Selling Group Members
  • In a nod to unique Nebraska features, the two rotating syndicate groups will be identified as the “Sandhills Team” and the “Prairie Team.”

While this policy is in effect, for each bond issuance pursuant to the Single Family Housing Revenue Bonds Indenture, the underwriting syndicate will consist of:

  • The Senior Manager;
  • The Continuous Co-Managers; and
  • Either the Sandhills Team or the Prairie Team, as determined by NIFA

Continuous Co-Managers

  • Ameritas Investment Services

  • D.A. Davidson

  • Fidelity

  • Northland Securities
