NEW YORK, Oct. 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Constellation Institutional Markets, a Constellation business, has entered the funding agreement backed note (FABN) market with an inaugural $350 million issuance, marking a significant milestone in the Constellation's enterprise strategy to expand its institutional markets business and diversify its liability origination platform.
The notes were issued by Constellation Global Funding (the issuer), an unaffiliated Delaware statutory trust, and are secured by a funding agreement from AuguStar Life Insurance Company (ALIC), Constellation's flagship insurance carrier. This transaction underscores Constellation's commitment to building market-leading financial services businesses that leverage its scale, robust capital position, strong ratings and world-class institutional ownership.
