Nelnet buys residual interest in federal student loan (Reuters)

(Reuters) – Nelnet (NNI.N) said it bought a residual interest in $1.9 billion of federal student loan from an affiliate of Greystone & Co Inc.

The student finance company acquired the interest in notes issued by GCO Student Loan Interest Margin Securities Trust-I (GCO SLIMS Trust-1), giving the company rights to the residual interest in GCO Education Loan Funding Trust-I.

The company expects the purchase to add immediately to base net income.

Nelnet said the loans and debt within the trusts will increase its student loan portfolio to more than $25 billion.
