BASEL III Update Today [November 21 2017] the Federal banking regulators finalized the pause on Basel III implementation to allow banks that are not subject to Basel IIIs advanced approaches to extend the current regulatory capital treatment of mortgage servicing assets (MSAs) Advanced approaches banking organizations (those with over $250 billion in assets or more than $10 billion in foreign exposure) are required to apply the capital rulesrsquo fully phased-in treatment for these capital items beginning January 1 2018
For example the transitions NPR [now finalized] would require a non-advanced approaches banking organization with an amount of MSAs above the 10 percent common equity tier 1 capital deduction threshold in the capital rules to deduct from common equity tier 1 capital 80 percent of the amount of MSAs above this threshold and to apply a 100 percent risk weight to the MSAs that are not deducted from common equity tier 1 capital including the MSAs that otherwise would be deducted but for the transition provisions

Subservicing versus Servicing in house
Subservicing model
bull Immediate access to experienced servicing operations
bull Outsources maintenance and compliance
bull Per unit based fee structure along with specific activity based fees including boarding and de-boarding
bull Borrower experience (communication) is being done by a vendor
bull Oversight and management of the sub-servicer is still required
In House Servicing
bull Requires scale to obtain any efficiencies
bull Requires hiring and maintaining staff along with the on-going compliance
bull Greater ability to control costs if efficiencies and scale is achieved and maintained
bull Borrower experience is controlled and often results in great ability to maintain the relationship (higher cross sell and retention)
bull Full control of late fees and escrows
CoverPage-SubTitle - CoverPage-Title
MSR Valuation amp AccountingMSR Valuation and Accounting is unique and requires additional specific knowledge and expertise Management must understand the MSR asset and the unique challenges and opportunities it creates
bull MSRs are initially capitalized at fair value (represented the net present value of the servicing revenue less expenses adjusted for prepayment speeds)
bull Once capitalized prospectively a company can elect either fair value or lower of cost or market accounting
bull Fair value is an irrevocable election
bull Fair value results in changes of the MSR asset value immediately slowing thru the income statement
bull Majority of large money center have chosen fair value accounting and hedge their MSR portfolios
bull Management reporting and understanding the potential risks of the MSR is critical

Cash and Capital RequirementsThe decision to retain servicing requires the entity to maintain certain capital (cash) and also defers the immediate ability to turn the servicing into cash
bull FHFA has established minimum capital requirements that must be maintained
bull Portfolios will a high level of delinquencies are subject to maintain additional capital
bull Banks are subject to the capital requirement established by BASEL III
bull Changes to the BASEL III limits are in process of being finalized
bull Non Banks must evaluate the amount of their net worth that is tied up in the MSR asset
bull Warehouse lenders and mortgage guarantors monitor the MSR to net worth calculation
MSR Market
The MSR market is made up two distinct types of transactions
bull Co ndash Issue
bull Entering into a relationship with an MSR buyer to sell future production
bull Complex grid based approach
bull Originator often does not collect any payments and sells the MSR as soon as the loan is sold to guarantor (Fannie Freddie or GNMA)
bull Bulk
bull Servicing operational function is performed for a period of time (could be performed by a subservicer)
bull Servicing data is known at time of marketing selling bulk
bull MSR transactions take time to complete (often 90 days)
Profile of Recent MSR SellersA number of ldquoheadlinerdquo deals have occurred in 2017 however these attention grabbing transactions are not representative of the typical MSR transaction
bull Banks electing to reduce eliminate their mortgage operations (ldquoCitirdquo)
bull Capital One exits the mortgage origination business (and is evaluating its servicing portfolio)
bull MSR Investors (Non Banks) looking to reduce eliminate their MSR holdings (ldquoPHHrdquo ldquoSenecardquo)
bull Independent Mortgage Bankers looking to monetize a portion of their servicing assets for cash
bull A large number of IMBs elected to retain servicing in recent years and are now looking to reduce their percentage of net worth tied up in the MSR asset
bull Ownership of the MSR asset in the past several years has created income volatility as a result of rates
bull Banks that had a potential or perceived BASEL III Issue (first half of 2017)
bull Aggregators (either MSR buyers or Correspondent aggregators) who periodically want to test ldquothe liquidity of their investmentrdquo
bull Non Banks looking to monetize and liquidate their servicing and redeploy the cash
57
Profile of Recent MSR BuyersA wide variety of MSR buyers exists currently compared to 15 years ago the space was dominated by Banks
bull Large private equity firms
bull Tend to only purchase very large ($5 billion or larger deals)
bull Regional Banks with servicing platforms
bull Only buy clean Fannie Freddie servicing typically in $500 million to $10 billion portfolio size
bull Some only buy bulk deals others participate in the co-issue
bull Often have strict requirements in terms of counterparty geography etc
bull In 2017 six regional super regionals banks participated in the bulk market
bull MSR Investment Vehicles REITs
bull Still active but since 2014 have become more selective in deals (and product)
bull Consolidation partnering increased in 2017 (PingoraLakeview)
bull Smaller regional servicers (mostly banks) that have servicing operations

BASEL III Update Today [November 21 2017] the Federal banking regulators finalized the pause on Basel III implementation to allow banks that are not subject to Basel IIIs advanced approaches to extend the current regulatory capital treatment of mortgage servicing assets (MSAs) Advanced approaches banking organizations (those with over $250 billion in assets or more than $10 billion in foreign exposure) are required to apply the capital rulesrsquo fully phased-in treatment for these capital items beginning January 1 2018
For example the transitions NPR [now finalized] would require a non-advanced approaches banking organization with an amount of MSAs above the 10 percent common equity tier 1 capital deduction threshold in the capital rules to deduct from common equity tier 1 capital 80 percent of the amount of MSAs above this threshold and to apply a 100 percent risk weight to the MSAs that are not deducted from common equity tier 1 capital including the MSAs that otherwise would be deducted but for the transition provisions

Subservicing versus Servicing in house
Subservicing model
bull Immediate access to experienced servicing operations
bull Outsources maintenance and compliance
bull Per unit based fee structure along with specific activity based fees including boarding and de-boarding
bull Borrower experience (communication) is being done by a vendor
bull Oversight and management of the sub-servicer is still required
In House Servicing
bull Requires scale to obtain any efficiencies
bull Requires hiring and maintaining staff along with the on-going compliance
bull Greater ability to control costs if efficiencies and scale is achieved and maintained
bull Borrower experience is controlled and often results in great ability to maintain the relationship (higher cross sell and retention)
bull Full control of late fees and escrows
CoverPage-SubTitle - CoverPage-Title
MSR Valuation amp AccountingMSR Valuation and Accounting is unique and requires additional specific knowledge and expertise Management must understand the MSR asset and the unique challenges and opportunities it creates
bull MSRs are initially capitalized at fair value (represented the net present value of the servicing revenue less expenses adjusted for prepayment speeds)
bull Once capitalized prospectively a company can elect either fair value or lower of cost or market accounting
bull Fair value is an irrevocable election
bull Fair value results in changes of the MSR asset value immediately slowing thru the income statement
bull Majority of large money center have chosen fair value accounting and hedge their MSR portfolios
bull Management reporting and understanding the potential risks of the MSR is critical

Cash and Capital RequirementsThe decision to retain servicing requires the entity to maintain certain capital (cash) and also defers the immediate ability to turn the servicing into cash
bull FHFA has established minimum capital requirements that must be maintained
bull Portfolios will a high level of delinquencies are subject to maintain additional capital
bull Banks are subject to the capital requirement established by BASEL III
bull Changes to the BASEL III limits are in process of being finalized
bull Non Banks must evaluate the amount of their net worth that is tied up in the MSR asset
bull Warehouse lenders and mortgage guarantors monitor the MSR to net worth calculation
MSR Market
The MSR market is made up two distinct types of transactions
bull Co ndash Issue
bull Entering into a relationship with an MSR buyer to sell future production
bull Complex grid based approach
bull Originator often does not collect any payments and sells the MSR as soon as the loan is sold to guarantor (Fannie Freddie or GNMA)
bull Bulk
bull Servicing operational function is performed for a period of time (could be performed by a subservicer)
bull Servicing data is known at time of marketing selling bulk
bull MSR transactions take time to complete (often 90 days)
Profile of Recent MSR SellersA number of ldquoheadlinerdquo deals have occurred in 2017 however these attention grabbing transactions are not representative of the typical MSR transaction
bull Banks electing to reduce eliminate their mortgage operations (ldquoCitirdquo)
bull Capital One exits the mortgage origination business (and is evaluating its servicing portfolio)
bull MSR Investors (Non Banks) looking to reduce eliminate their MSR holdings (ldquoPHHrdquo ldquoSenecardquo)
bull Independent Mortgage Bankers looking to monetize a portion of their servicing assets for cash
bull A large number of IMBs elected to retain servicing in recent years and are now looking to reduce their percentage of net worth tied up in the MSR asset
bull Ownership of the MSR asset in the past several years has created income volatility as a result of rates
bull Banks that had a potential or perceived BASEL III Issue (first half of 2017)
bull Aggregators (either MSR buyers or Correspondent aggregators) who periodically want to test ldquothe liquidity of their investmentrdquo
bull Non Banks looking to monetize and liquidate their servicing and redeploy the cash
57
Profile of Recent MSR BuyersA wide variety of MSR buyers exists currently compared to 15 years ago the space was dominated by Banks
bull Large private equity firms
bull Tend to only purchase very large ($5 billion or larger deals)
bull Regional Banks with servicing platforms
bull Only buy clean Fannie Freddie servicing typically in $500 million to $10 billion portfolio size
bull Some only buy bulk deals others participate in the co-issue
bull Often have strict requirements in terms of counterparty geography etc
bull In 2017 six regional super regionals banks participated in the bulk market
bull MSR Investment Vehicles REITs
bull Still active but since 2014 have become more selective in deals (and product)
bull Consolidation partnering increased in 2017 (PingoraLakeview)
bull Smaller regional servicers (mostly banks) that have servicing operations
bull Deal size is often under $750 million and typically do not buy Ginnie Mae servicing

Tax Reform Bill 2017
The House and Senate passed HR1 the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and the President signed the bill into legislation right before the Holiday Break (effective for the 2018 tax year)
bull Change in Corporate Tax Rate from 35 to 21
bull Will impact the ldquoCrdquo Corp Bank as the MSR asset is net of the deferred tax liability for BASEL III the lower the tax rate the more than the MSR asset counts toward BASEL III limits
bull A cap on the Interest Deduction (ldquoMIDrdquo)
bull Maintains the mortgage interest deduction for existing mortgages but limits deduction to $750K on mortgages made after December 15th 2017
bull Debt on first and second under $750K but suspends deductibility of home equity lines
bull State and Local tax deductions (ldquoSALTrdquo) allows up to $10000 in state and local tax deductions
bull Maintained current tax treatment for MSRs
bull Preserved the Capital gains treatment for home sales allowing homeowners ability to exclude up to $500K on gain on sale of primary residence

BASEL III Update Today [November 21 2017] the Federal banking regulators finalized the pause on Basel III implementation to allow banks that are not subject to Basel IIIs advanced approaches to extend the current regulatory capital treatment of mortgage servicing assets (MSAs) Advanced approaches banking organizations (those with over $250 billion in assets or more than $10 billion in foreign exposure) are required to apply the capital rulesrsquo fully phased-in treatment for these capital items beginning January 1 2018
For example the transitions NPR [now finalized] would require a non-advanced approaches banking organization with an amount of MSAs above the 10 percent common equity tier 1 capital deduction threshold in the capital rules to deduct from common equity tier 1 capital 80 percent of the amount of MSAs above this threshold and to apply a 100 percent risk weight to the MSAs that are not deducted from common equity tier 1 capital including the MSAs that otherwise would be deducted but for the transition provisions

Loan Servicing Overview
Careers in Residential Mortgage Lending - Overview of the Residential Mortgage IndustrySource School of Mortgage Banking I - Introduction to Mortgage Banking
Subservicing versus Servicing in house
Subservicing model
bull Immediate access to experienced servicing operations
bull Outsources maintenance and compliance
bull Per unit based fee structure along with specific activity based fees including boarding and de-boarding
bull Borrower experience (communication) is being done by a vendor
bull Oversight and management of the sub-servicer is still required
In House Servicing
bull Requires scale to obtain any efficiencies
bull Requires hiring and maintaining staff along with the on-going compliance
bull Greater ability to control costs if efficiencies and scale is achieved and maintained
bull Borrower experience is controlled and often results in great ability to maintain the relationship (higher cross sell and retention)
bull Full control of late fees and escrows
CoverPage-SubTitle - CoverPage-Title
MSR Valuation amp AccountingMSR Valuation and Accounting is unique and requires additional specific knowledge and expertise Management must understand the MSR asset and the unique challenges and opportunities it creates
bull MSRs are initially capitalized at fair value (represented the net present value of the servicing revenue less expenses adjusted for prepayment speeds)
bull Once capitalized prospectively a company can elect either fair value or lower of cost or market accounting
bull Fair value is an irrevocable election
bull Fair value results in changes of the MSR asset value immediately slowing thru the income statement
bull Majority of large money center have chosen fair value accounting and hedge their MSR portfolios
bull Management reporting and understanding the potential risks of the MSR is critical

Cash and Capital RequirementsThe decision to retain servicing requires the entity to maintain certain capital (cash) and also defers the immediate ability to turn the servicing into cash
bull FHFA has established minimum capital requirements that must be maintained
bull Portfolios will a high level of delinquencies are subject to maintain additional capital
bull Banks are subject to the capital requirement established by BASEL III
bull Changes to the BASEL III limits are in process of being finalized
bull Non Banks must evaluate the amount of their net worth that is tied up in the MSR asset
bull Warehouse lenders and mortgage guarantors monitor the MSR to net worth calculation
MSR Market
The MSR market is made up two distinct types of transactions
bull Co ndash Issue
bull Entering into a relationship with an MSR buyer to sell future production
bull Complex grid based approach
bull Originator often does not collect any payments and sells the MSR as soon as the loan is sold to guarantor (Fannie Freddie or GNMA)
bull Bulk
bull Servicing operational function is performed for a period of time (could be performed by a subservicer)
bull Servicing data is known at time of marketing selling bulk
bull MSR transactions take time to complete (often 90 days)
Profile of Recent MSR SellersA number of ldquoheadlinerdquo deals have occurred in 2017 however these attention grabbing transactions are not representative of the typical MSR transaction
bull Banks electing to reduce eliminate their mortgage operations (ldquoCitirdquo)
bull Capital One exits the mortgage origination business (and is evaluating its servicing portfolio)
bull MSR Investors (Non Banks) looking to reduce eliminate their MSR holdings (ldquoPHHrdquo ldquoSenecardquo)
bull Independent Mortgage Bankers looking to monetize a portion of their servicing assets for cash
bull A large number of IMBs elected to retain servicing in recent years and are now looking to reduce their percentage of net worth tied up in the MSR asset
bull Ownership of the MSR asset in the past several years has created income volatility as a result of rates
bull Banks that had a potential or perceived BASEL III Issue (first half of 2017)
bull Aggregators (either MSR buyers or Correspondent aggregators) who periodically want to test ldquothe liquidity of their investmentrdquo
bull Non Banks looking to monetize and liquidate their servicing and redeploy the cash
57
Profile of Recent MSR BuyersA wide variety of MSR buyers exists currently compared to 15 years ago the space was dominated by Banks
bull Large private equity firms
bull Tend to only purchase very large ($5 billion or larger deals)
bull Regional Banks with servicing platforms
bull Only buy clean Fannie Freddie servicing typically in $500 million to $10 billion portfolio size
bull Some only buy bulk deals others participate in the co-issue
bull Often have strict requirements in terms of counterparty geography etc
bull In 2017 six regional super regionals banks participated in the bulk market
bull MSR Investment Vehicles REITs
bull Still active but since 2014 have become more selective in deals (and product)
bull Consolidation partnering increased in 2017 (PingoraLakeview)
bull Smaller regional servicers (mostly banks) that have servicing operations
bull Deal size is often under $750 million and typically do not buy Ginnie Mae servicing

Tax Reform Bill 2017
The House and Senate passed HR1 the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and the President signed the bill into legislation right before the Holiday Break (effective for the 2018 tax year)
bull Change in Corporate Tax Rate from 35 to 21
bull Will impact the ldquoCrdquo Corp Bank as the MSR asset is net of the deferred tax liability for BASEL III the lower the tax rate the more than the MSR asset counts toward BASEL III limits
bull A cap on the Interest Deduction (ldquoMIDrdquo)
bull Maintains the mortgage interest deduction for existing mortgages but limits deduction to $750K on mortgages made after December 15th 2017
bull Debt on first and second under $750K but suspends deductibility of home equity lines
bull State and Local tax deductions (ldquoSALTrdquo) allows up to $10000 in state and local tax deductions

BASEL III Update Today [November 21 2017] the Federal banking regulators finalized the pause on Basel III implementation to allow banks that are not subject to Basel IIIs advanced approaches to extend the current regulatory capital treatment of mortgage servicing assets (MSAs) Advanced approaches banking organizations (those with over $250 billion in assets or more than $10 billion in foreign exposure) are required to apply the capital rulesrsquo fully phased-in treatment for these capital items beginning January 1 2018
For example the transitions NPR [now finalized] would require a non-advanced approaches banking organization with an amount of MSAs above the 10 percent common equity tier 1 capital deduction threshold in the capital rules to deduct from common equity tier 1 capital 80 percent of the amount of MSAs above this threshold and to apply a 100 percent risk weight to the MSAs that are not deducted from common equity tier 1 capital including the MSAs that otherwise would be deducted but for the transition provisions

Loan Servicing Overview
Careers in Residential Mortgage Lending - Overview of the Residential Mortgage IndustrySource School of Mortgage Banking I - Introduction to Mortgage Banking
Subservicing versus Servicing in house
Subservicing model
bull Immediate access to experienced servicing operations
bull Outsources maintenance and compliance
bull Per unit based fee structure along with specific activity based fees including boarding and de-boarding
bull Borrower experience (communication) is being done by a vendor
bull Oversight and management of the sub-servicer is still required
In House Servicing
bull Requires scale to obtain any efficiencies
bull Requires hiring and maintaining staff along with the on-going compliance
bull Greater ability to control costs if efficiencies and scale is achieved and maintained
bull Borrower experience is controlled and often results in great ability to maintain the relationship (higher cross sell and retention)
bull Full control of late fees and escrows
CoverPage-SubTitle - CoverPage-Title
MSR Valuation amp AccountingMSR Valuation and Accounting is unique and requires additional specific knowledge and expertise Management must understand the MSR asset and the unique challenges and opportunities it creates
bull MSRs are initially capitalized at fair value (represented the net present value of the servicing revenue less expenses adjusted for prepayment speeds)
bull Once capitalized prospectively a company can elect either fair value or lower of cost or market accounting
bull Fair value is an irrevocable election
bull Fair value results in changes of the MSR asset value immediately slowing thru the income statement
bull Majority of large money center have chosen fair value accounting and hedge their MSR portfolios
bull Management reporting and understanding the potential risks of the MSR is critical

Cash and Capital RequirementsThe decision to retain servicing requires the entity to maintain certain capital (cash) and also defers the immediate ability to turn the servicing into cash
bull FHFA has established minimum capital requirements that must be maintained
bull Portfolios will a high level of delinquencies are subject to maintain additional capital
bull Banks are subject to the capital requirement established by BASEL III
bull Changes to the BASEL III limits are in process of being finalized
bull Non Banks must evaluate the amount of their net worth that is tied up in the MSR asset
bull Warehouse lenders and mortgage guarantors monitor the MSR to net worth calculation
MSR Market
The MSR market is made up two distinct types of transactions
bull Co ndash Issue
bull Entering into a relationship with an MSR buyer to sell future production
bull Complex grid based approach
bull Originator often does not collect any payments and sells the MSR as soon as the loan is sold to guarantor (Fannie Freddie or GNMA)
bull Bulk
bull Servicing operational function is performed for a period of time (could be performed by a subservicer)
bull Servicing data is known at time of marketing selling bulk
bull MSR transactions take time to complete (often 90 days)
Profile of Recent MSR SellersA number of ldquoheadlinerdquo deals have occurred in 2017 however these attention grabbing transactions are not representative of the typical MSR transaction
bull Banks electing to reduce eliminate their mortgage operations (ldquoCitirdquo)
bull Capital One exits the mortgage origination business (and is evaluating its servicing portfolio)
bull MSR Investors (Non Banks) looking to reduce eliminate their MSR holdings (ldquoPHHrdquo ldquoSenecardquo)
bull Independent Mortgage Bankers looking to monetize a portion of their servicing assets for cash
bull A large number of IMBs elected to retain servicing in recent years and are now looking to reduce their percentage of net worth tied up in the MSR asset
bull Ownership of the MSR asset in the past several years has created income volatility as a result of rates
bull Banks that had a potential or perceived BASEL III Issue (first half of 2017)
bull Aggregators (either MSR buyers or Correspondent aggregators) who periodically want to test ldquothe liquidity of their investmentrdquo
bull Non Banks looking to monetize and liquidate their servicing and redeploy the cash
57
Profile of Recent MSR BuyersA wide variety of MSR buyers exists currently compared to 15 years ago the space was dominated by Banks
bull Large private equity firms
bull Tend to only purchase very large ($5 billion or larger deals)
bull Regional Banks with servicing platforms
bull Only buy clean Fannie Freddie servicing typically in $500 million to $10 billion portfolio size
bull Some only buy bulk deals others participate in the co-issue
bull Often have strict requirements in terms of counterparty geography etc
bull In 2017 six regional super regionals banks participated in the bulk market
bull MSR Investment Vehicles REITs
bull Still active but since 2014 have become more selective in deals (and product)
bull Consolidation partnering increased in 2017 (PingoraLakeview)
bull Smaller regional servicers (mostly banks) that have servicing operations
bull Deal size is often under $750 million and typically do not buy Ginnie Mae servicing

Tax Reform Bill 2017
The House and Senate passed HR1 the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and the President signed the bill into legislation right before the Holiday Break (effective for the 2018 tax year)
bull Change in Corporate Tax Rate from 35 to 21
bull Will impact the ldquoCrdquo Corp Bank as the MSR asset is net of the deferred tax liability for BASEL III the lower the tax rate the more than the MSR asset counts toward BASEL III limits
bull A cap on the Interest Deduction (ldquoMIDrdquo)
bull Maintains the mortgage interest deduction for existing mortgages but limits deduction to $750K on mortgages made after December 15th 2017
bull Debt on first and second under $750K but suspends deductibility of home equity lines
bull State and Local tax deductions (ldquoSALTrdquo) allows up to $10000 in state and local tax deductions
bull Maintained current tax treatment for MSRs
bull Preserved the Capital gains treatment for home sales allowing homeowners ability to exclude up to $500K on gain on sale of primary residence

BASEL III Update Today [November 21 2017] the Federal banking regulators finalized the pause on Basel III implementation to allow banks that are not subject to Basel IIIs advanced approaches to extend the current regulatory capital treatment of mortgage servicing assets (MSAs) Advanced approaches banking organizations (those with over $250 billion in assets or more than $10 billion in foreign exposure) are required to apply the capital rulesrsquo fully phased-in treatment for these capital items beginning January 1 2018
For example the transitions NPR [now finalized] would require a non-advanced approaches banking organization with an amount of MSAs above the 10 percent common equity tier 1 capital deduction threshold in the capital rules to deduct from common equity tier 1 capital 80 percent of the amount of MSAs above this threshold and to apply a 100 percent risk weight to the MSAs that are not deducted from common equity tier 1 capital including the MSAs that otherwise would be deducted but for the transition provisions

Loan Servicing Overview
Careers in Residential Mortgage Lending - Overview of the Residential Mortgage IndustrySource School of Mortgage Banking I - Introduction to Mortgage Banking
Subservicing versus Servicing in house
Subservicing model
bull Immediate access to experienced servicing operations
bull Outsources maintenance and compliance
bull Per unit based fee structure along with specific activity based fees including boarding and de-boarding
bull Borrower experience (communication) is being done by a vendor
bull Oversight and management of the sub-servicer is still required
In House Servicing
bull Requires scale to obtain any efficiencies
bull Requires hiring and maintaining staff along with the on-going compliance
bull Greater ability to control costs if efficiencies and scale is achieved and maintained
bull Borrower experience is controlled and often results in great ability to maintain the relationship (higher cross sell and retention)
bull Full control of late fees and escrows
CoverPage-SubTitle - CoverPage-Title
MSR Valuation amp AccountingMSR Valuation and Accounting is unique and requires additional specific knowledge and expertise Management must understand the MSR asset and the unique challenges and opportunities it creates
bull MSRs are initially capitalized at fair value (represented the net present value of the servicing revenue less expenses adjusted for prepayment speeds)
bull Once capitalized prospectively a company can elect either fair value or lower of cost or market accounting
bull Fair value is an irrevocable election
bull Fair value results in changes of the MSR asset value immediately slowing thru the income statement
bull Majority of large money center have chosen fair value accounting and hedge their MSR portfolios
bull Management reporting and understanding the potential risks of the MSR is critical

Cash and Capital RequirementsThe decision to retain servicing requires the entity to maintain certain capital (cash) and also defers the immediate ability to turn the servicing into cash
bull FHFA has established minimum capital requirements that must be maintained
bull Portfolios will a high level of delinquencies are subject to maintain additional capital
bull Banks are subject to the capital requirement established by BASEL III
bull Changes to the BASEL III limits are in process of being finalized
bull Non Banks must evaluate the amount of their net worth that is tied up in the MSR asset
bull Warehouse lenders and mortgage guarantors monitor the MSR to net worth calculation
MSR Market
The MSR market is made up two distinct types of transactions
bull Co ndash Issue
bull Entering into a relationship with an MSR buyer to sell future production
bull Complex grid based approach
bull Originator often does not collect any payments and sells the MSR as soon as the loan is sold to guarantor (Fannie Freddie or GNMA)
bull Bulk
bull Servicing operational function is performed for a period of time (could be performed by a subservicer)
bull Servicing data is known at time of marketing selling bulk
bull MSR transactions take time to complete (often 90 days)
Profile of Recent MSR SellersA number of ldquoheadlinerdquo deals have occurred in 2017 however these attention grabbing transactions are not representative of the typical MSR transaction
bull Banks electing to reduce eliminate their mortgage operations (ldquoCitirdquo)
bull Capital One exits the mortgage origination business (and is evaluating its servicing portfolio)
bull MSR Investors (Non Banks) looking to reduce eliminate their MSR holdings (ldquoPHHrdquo ldquoSenecardquo)
bull Independent Mortgage Bankers looking to monetize a portion of their servicing assets for cash
bull A large number of IMBs elected to retain servicing in recent years and are now looking to reduce their percentage of net worth tied up in the MSR asset
bull Ownership of the MSR asset in the past several years has created income volatility as a result of rates
bull Banks that had a potential or perceived BASEL III Issue (first half of 2017)
bull Aggregators (either MSR buyers or Correspondent aggregators) who periodically want to test ldquothe liquidity of their investmentrdquo
bull Non Banks looking to monetize and liquidate their servicing and redeploy the cash
57
Profile of Recent MSR BuyersA wide variety of MSR buyers exists currently compared to 15 years ago the space was dominated by Banks
bull Large private equity firms
bull Tend to only purchase very large ($5 billion or larger deals)
bull Regional Banks with servicing platforms
bull Only buy clean Fannie Freddie servicing typically in $500 million to $10 billion portfolio size
bull Some only buy bulk deals others participate in the co-issue
bull Often have strict requirements in terms of counterparty geography etc
bull In 2017 six regional super regionals banks participated in the bulk market
bull MSR Investment Vehicles REITs
bull Still active but since 2014 have become more selective in deals (and product)
bull Consolidation partnering increased in 2017 (PingoraLakeview)
bull Smaller regional servicers (mostly banks) that have servicing operations
bull Deal size is often under $750 million and typically do not buy Ginnie Mae servicing

Tax Reform Bill 2017
The House and Senate passed HR1 the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and the President signed the bill into legislation right before the Holiday Break (effective for the 2018 tax year)
bull Change in Corporate Tax Rate from 35 to 21
bull Will impact the ldquoCrdquo Corp Bank as the MSR asset is net of the deferred tax liability for BASEL III the lower the tax rate the more than the MSR asset counts toward BASEL III limits
bull A cap on the Interest Deduction (ldquoMIDrdquo)
bull Maintains the mortgage interest deduction for existing mortgages but limits deduction to $750K on mortgages made after December 15th 2017
bull Debt on first and second under $750K but suspends deductibility of home equity lines
bull State and Local tax deductions (ldquoSALTrdquo) allows up to $10000 in state and local tax deductions
bull Maintained current tax treatment for MSRs
bull Preserved the Capital gains treatment for home sales allowing homeowners ability to exclude up to $500K on gain on sale of primary residence

BASEL III Update Today [November 21 2017] the Federal banking regulators finalized the pause on Basel III implementation to allow banks that are not subject to Basel IIIs advanced approaches to extend the current regulatory capital treatment of mortgage servicing assets (MSAs) Advanced approaches banking organizations (those with over $250 billion in assets or more than $10 billion in foreign exposure) are required to apply the capital rulesrsquo fully phased-in treatment for these capital items beginning January 1 2018
For example the transitions NPR [now finalized] would require a non-advanced approaches banking organization with an amount of MSAs above the 10 percent common equity tier 1 capital deduction threshold in the capital rules to deduct from common equity tier 1 capital 80 percent of the amount of MSAs above this threshold and to apply a 100 percent risk weight to the MSAs that are not deducted from common equity tier 1 capital including the MSAs that otherwise would be deducted but for the transition provisions

Loan Servicing Overview
Careers in Residential Mortgage Lending - Overview of the Residential Mortgage IndustrySource School of Mortgage Banking I - Introduction to Mortgage Banking
Subservicing versus Servicing in house
Subservicing model
bull Immediate access to experienced servicing operations
bull Outsources maintenance and compliance
bull Per unit based fee structure along with specific activity based fees including boarding and de-boarding
bull Borrower experience (communication) is being done by a vendor
bull Oversight and management of the sub-servicer is still required
In House Servicing
bull Requires scale to obtain any efficiencies
bull Requires hiring and maintaining staff along with the on-going compliance
bull Greater ability to control costs if efficiencies and scale is achieved and maintained
bull Borrower experience is controlled and often results in great ability to maintain the relationship (higher cross sell and retention)
bull Full control of late fees and escrows
CoverPage-SubTitle - CoverPage-Title
MSR Valuation amp AccountingMSR Valuation and Accounting is unique and requires additional specific knowledge and expertise Management must understand the MSR asset and the unique challenges and opportunities it creates
bull MSRs are initially capitalized at fair value (represented the net present value of the servicing revenue less expenses adjusted for prepayment speeds)
bull Once capitalized prospectively a company can elect either fair value or lower of cost or market accounting
bull Fair value is an irrevocable election
bull Fair value results in changes of the MSR asset value immediately slowing thru the income statement
bull Majority of large money center have chosen fair value accounting and hedge their MSR portfolios
bull Management reporting and understanding the potential risks of the MSR is critical

Cash and Capital RequirementsThe decision to retain servicing requires the entity to maintain certain capital (cash) and also defers the immediate ability to turn the servicing into cash
bull FHFA has established minimum capital requirements that must be maintained
bull Portfolios will a high level of delinquencies are subject to maintain additional capital
bull Banks are subject to the capital requirement established by BASEL III
bull Changes to the BASEL III limits are in process of being finalized
bull Non Banks must evaluate the amount of their net worth that is tied up in the MSR asset
bull Warehouse lenders and mortgage guarantors monitor the MSR to net worth calculation
MSR Market
The MSR market is made up two distinct types of transactions
bull Co ndash Issue
bull Entering into a relationship with an MSR buyer to sell future production
bull Complex grid based approach
bull Originator often does not collect any payments and sells the MSR as soon as the loan is sold to guarantor (Fannie Freddie or GNMA)
bull Bulk
bull Servicing operational function is performed for a period of time (could be performed by a subservicer)
bull Servicing data is known at time of marketing selling bulk
bull MSR transactions take time to complete (often 90 days)
Profile of Recent MSR SellersA number of ldquoheadlinerdquo deals have occurred in 2017 however these attention grabbing transactions are not representative of the typical MSR transaction
bull Banks electing to reduce eliminate their mortgage operations (ldquoCitirdquo)
bull Capital One exits the mortgage origination business (and is evaluating its servicing portfolio)
bull MSR Investors (Non Banks) looking to reduce eliminate their MSR holdings (ldquoPHHrdquo ldquoSenecardquo)
bull Independent Mortgage Bankers looking to monetize a portion of their servicing assets for cash
bull A large number of IMBs elected to retain servicing in recent years and are now looking to reduce their percentage of net worth tied up in the MSR asset
bull Ownership of the MSR asset in the past several years has created income volatility as a result of rates
bull Banks that had a potential or perceived BASEL III Issue (first half of 2017)
bull Aggregators (either MSR buyers or Correspondent aggregators) who periodically want to test ldquothe liquidity of their investmentrdquo
bull Non Banks looking to monetize and liquidate their servicing and redeploy the cash
57
Profile of Recent MSR BuyersA wide variety of MSR buyers exists currently compared to 15 years ago the space was dominated by Banks
bull Large private equity firms
bull Tend to only purchase very large ($5 billion or larger deals)
bull Regional Banks with servicing platforms
bull Only buy clean Fannie Freddie servicing typically in $500 million to $10 billion portfolio size
bull Some only buy bulk deals others participate in the co-issue
bull Often have strict requirements in terms of counterparty geography etc
bull In 2017 six regional super regionals banks participated in the bulk market
bull MSR Investment Vehicles REITs
bull Still active but since 2014 have become more selective in deals (and product)
bull Consolidation partnering increased in 2017 (PingoraLakeview)
bull Smaller regional servicers (mostly banks) that have servicing operations
bull Deal size is often under $750 million and typically do not buy Ginnie Mae servicing

Tax Reform Bill 2017
The House and Senate passed HR1 the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and the President signed the bill into legislation right before the Holiday Break (effective for the 2018 tax year)
bull Change in Corporate Tax Rate from 35 to 21
bull Will impact the ldquoCrdquo Corp Bank as the MSR asset is net of the deferred tax liability for BASEL III the lower the tax rate the more than the MSR asset counts toward BASEL III limits
bull A cap on the Interest Deduction (ldquoMIDrdquo)
bull Maintains the mortgage interest deduction for existing mortgages but limits deduction to $750K on mortgages made after December 15th 2017
bull Debt on first and second under $750K but suspends deductibility of home equity lines
bull State and Local tax deductions (ldquoSALTrdquo) allows up to $10000 in state and local tax deductions
bull Maintained current tax treatment for MSRs
bull Preserved the Capital gains treatment for home sales allowing homeowners ability to exclude up to $500K on gain on sale of primary residence

BASEL III Update Today [November 21 2017] the Federal banking regulators finalized the pause on Basel III implementation to allow banks that are not subject to Basel IIIs advanced approaches to extend the current regulatory capital treatment of mortgage servicing assets (MSAs) Advanced approaches banking organizations (those with over $250 billion in assets or more than $10 billion in foreign exposure) are required to apply the capital rulesrsquo fully phased-in treatment for these capital items beginning January 1 2018
For example the transitions NPR [now finalized] would require a non-advanced approaches banking organization with an amount of MSAs above the 10 percent common equity tier 1 capital deduction threshold in the capital rules to deduct from common equity tier 1 capital 80 percent of the amount of MSAs above this threshold and to apply a 100 percent risk weight to the MSAs that are not deducted from common equity tier 1 capital including the MSAs that otherwise would be deducted but for the transition provisions

Loan Servicing Overview
Careers in Residential Mortgage Lending - Overview of the Residential Mortgage IndustrySource School of Mortgage Banking I - Introduction to Mortgage Banking
Subservicing versus Servicing in house
Subservicing model
bull Immediate access to experienced servicing operations
bull Outsources maintenance and compliance
bull Per unit based fee structure along with specific activity based fees including boarding and de-boarding
bull Borrower experience (communication) is being done by a vendor
bull Oversight and management of the sub-servicer is still required
In House Servicing
bull Requires scale to obtain any efficiencies
bull Requires hiring and maintaining staff along with the on-going compliance
bull Greater ability to control costs if efficiencies and scale is achieved and maintained
bull Borrower experience is controlled and often results in great ability to maintain the relationship (higher cross sell and retention)
bull Full control of late fees and escrows
CoverPage-SubTitle - CoverPage-Title
MSR Valuation amp AccountingMSR Valuation and Accounting is unique and requires additional specific knowledge and expertise Management must understand the MSR asset and the unique challenges and opportunities it creates
bull MSRs are initially capitalized at fair value (represented the net present value of the servicing revenue less expenses adjusted for prepayment speeds)
bull Once capitalized prospectively a company can elect either fair value or lower of cost or market accounting
bull Fair value is an irrevocable election
bull Fair value results in changes of the MSR asset value immediately slowing thru the income statement
bull Majority of large money center have chosen fair value accounting and hedge their MSR portfolios
bull Management reporting and understanding the potential risks of the MSR is critical

Cash and Capital RequirementsThe decision to retain servicing requires the entity to maintain certain capital (cash) and also defers the immediate ability to turn the servicing into cash
bull FHFA has established minimum capital requirements that must be maintained
bull Portfolios will a high level of delinquencies are subject to maintain additional capital
bull Banks are subject to the capital requirement established by BASEL III
bull Changes to the BASEL III limits are in process of being finalized
bull Non Banks must evaluate the amount of their net worth that is tied up in the MSR asset
bull Warehouse lenders and mortgage guarantors monitor the MSR to net worth calculation
MSR Market
The MSR market is made up two distinct types of transactions
bull Co ndash Issue
bull Entering into a relationship with an MSR buyer to sell future production
bull Complex grid based approach
bull Originator often does not collect any payments and sells the MSR as soon as the loan is sold to guarantor (Fannie Freddie or GNMA)
bull Bulk
bull Servicing operational function is performed for a period of time (could be performed by a subservicer)
bull Servicing data is known at time of marketing selling bulk
bull MSR transactions take time to complete (often 90 days)
Profile of Recent MSR SellersA number of ldquoheadlinerdquo deals have occurred in 2017 however these attention grabbing transactions are not representative of the typical MSR transaction
bull Banks electing to reduce eliminate their mortgage operations (ldquoCitirdquo)
bull Capital One exits the mortgage origination business (and is evaluating its servicing portfolio)
bull MSR Investors (Non Banks) looking to reduce eliminate their MSR holdings (ldquoPHHrdquo ldquoSenecardquo)
bull Independent Mortgage Bankers looking to monetize a portion of their servicing assets for cash
bull A large number of IMBs elected to retain servicing in recent years and are now looking to reduce their percentage of net worth tied up in the MSR asset
bull Ownership of the MSR asset in the past several years has created income volatility as a result of rates
bull Banks that had a potential or perceived BASEL III Issue (first half of 2017)
bull Aggregators (either MSR buyers or Correspondent aggregators) who periodically want to test ldquothe liquidity of their investmentrdquo
bull Non Banks looking to monetize and liquidate their servicing and redeploy the cash
57
Profile of Recent MSR BuyersA wide variety of MSR buyers exists currently compared to 15 years ago the space was dominated by Banks
bull Large private equity firms
bull Tend to only purchase very large ($5 billion or larger deals)
bull Regional Banks with servicing platforms
bull Only buy clean Fannie Freddie servicing typically in $500 million to $10 billion portfolio size
bull Some only buy bulk deals others participate in the co-issue
bull Often have strict requirements in terms of counterparty geography etc
bull In 2017 six regional super regionals banks participated in the bulk market
bull MSR Investment Vehicles REITs
bull Still active but since 2014 have become more selective in deals (and product)
bull Consolidation partnering increased in 2017 (PingoraLakeview)
bull Smaller regional servicers (mostly banks) that have servicing operations
bull Deal size is often under $750 million and typically do not buy Ginnie Mae servicing

BASEL III Update Today [November 21 2017] the Federal banking regulators finalized the pause on Basel III implementation to allow banks that are not subject to Basel IIIs advanced approaches to extend the current regulatory capital treatment of mortgage servicing assets (MSAs) Advanced approaches banking organizations (those with over $250 billion in assets or more than $10 billion in foreign exposure) are required to apply the capital rulesrsquo fully phased-in treatment for these capital items beginning January 1 2018
For example the transitions NPR [now finalized] would require a non-advanced approaches banking organization with an amount of MSAs above the 10 percent common equity tier 1 capital deduction threshold in the capital rules to deduct from common equity tier 1 capital 80 percent of the amount of MSAs above this threshold and to apply a 100 percent risk weight to the MSAs that are not deducted from common equity tier 1 capital including the MSAs that otherwise would be deducted but for the transition provisions

Loan Servicing Overview
Careers in Residential Mortgage Lending - Overview of the Residential Mortgage IndustrySource School of Mortgage Banking I - Introduction to Mortgage Banking
Subservicing versus Servicing in house
Subservicing model
bull Immediate access to experienced servicing operations
bull Outsources maintenance and compliance
bull Per unit based fee structure along with specific activity based fees including boarding and de-boarding
bull Borrower experience (communication) is being done by a vendor
bull Oversight and management of the sub-servicer is still required
In House Servicing
bull Requires scale to obtain any efficiencies
bull Requires hiring and maintaining staff along with the on-going compliance
bull Greater ability to control costs if efficiencies and scale is achieved and maintained
bull Borrower experience is controlled and often results in great ability to maintain the relationship (higher cross sell and retention)
bull Full control of late fees and escrows
CoverPage-SubTitle - CoverPage-Title
MSR Valuation amp AccountingMSR Valuation and Accounting is unique and requires additional specific knowledge and expertise Management must understand the MSR asset and the unique challenges and opportunities it creates
bull MSRs are initially capitalized at fair value (represented the net present value of the servicing revenue less expenses adjusted for prepayment speeds)
bull Once capitalized prospectively a company can elect either fair value or lower of cost or market accounting
bull Fair value is an irrevocable election
bull Fair value results in changes of the MSR asset value immediately slowing thru the income statement
bull Majority of large money center have chosen fair value accounting and hedge their MSR portfolios
bull Management reporting and understanding the potential risks of the MSR is critical

Cash and Capital RequirementsThe decision to retain servicing requires the entity to maintain certain capital (cash) and also defers the immediate ability to turn the servicing into cash
bull FHFA has established minimum capital requirements that must be maintained
bull Portfolios will a high level of delinquencies are subject to maintain additional capital
bull Banks are subject to the capital requirement established by BASEL III
bull Changes to the BASEL III limits are in process of being finalized
bull Non Banks must evaluate the amount of their net worth that is tied up in the MSR asset
bull Warehouse lenders and mortgage guarantors monitor the MSR to net worth calculation
MSR Market
The MSR market is made up two distinct types of transactions
bull Co ndash Issue
bull Entering into a relationship with an MSR buyer to sell future production
bull Complex grid based approach
bull Originator often does not collect any payments and sells the MSR as soon as the loan is sold to guarantor (Fannie Freddie or GNMA)
bull Bulk
bull Servicing operational function is performed for a period of time (could be performed by a subservicer)
bull Servicing data is known at time of marketing selling bulk
bull MSR transactions take time to complete (often 90 days)
Profile of Recent MSR SellersA number of ldquoheadlinerdquo deals have occurred in 2017 however these attention grabbing transactions are not representative of the typical MSR transaction
bull Banks electing to reduce eliminate their mortgage operations (ldquoCitirdquo)
bull Capital One exits the mortgage origination business (and is evaluating its servicing portfolio)
bull MSR Investors (Non Banks) looking to reduce eliminate their MSR holdings (ldquoPHHrdquo ldquoSenecardquo)
bull Independent Mortgage Bankers looking to monetize a portion of their servicing assets for cash
bull A large number of IMBs elected to retain servicing in recent years and are now looking to reduce their percentage of net worth tied up in the MSR asset
bull Ownership of the MSR asset in the past several years has created income volatility as a result of rates
bull Banks that had a potential or perceived BASEL III Issue (first half of 2017)
bull Aggregators (either MSR buyers or Correspondent aggregators) who periodically want to test ldquothe liquidity of their investmentrdquo
bull Non Banks looking to monetize and liquidate their servicing and redeploy the cash
57
Profile of Recent MSR BuyersA wide variety of MSR buyers exists currently compared to 15 years ago the space was dominated by Banks
bull Large private equity firms
bull Tend to only purchase very large ($5 billion or larger deals)
bull Regional Banks with servicing platforms
bull Only buy clean Fannie Freddie servicing typically in $500 million to $10 billion portfolio size
bull Some only buy bulk deals others participate in the co-issue
bull Often have strict requirements in terms of counterparty geography etc
bull In 2017 six regional super regionals banks participated in the bulk market
bull MSR Investment Vehicles REITs
bull Still active but since 2014 have become more selective in deals (and product)
bull Consolidation partnering increased in 2017 (PingoraLakeview)
bull Smaller regional servicers (mostly banks) that have servicing operations
bull Deal size is often under $750 million and typically do not buy Ginnie Mae servicing

Subservicing versus Servicing in house
Subservicing model
bull Immediate access to experienced servicing operations
bull Outsources maintenance and compliance
bull Per unit based fee structure along with specific activity based fees including boarding and de-boarding
bull Borrower experience (communication) is being done by a vendor
bull Oversight and management of the sub-servicer is still required
In House Servicing
bull Requires scale to obtain any efficiencies
bull Requires hiring and maintaining staff along with the on-going compliance
bull Greater ability to control costs if efficiencies and scale is achieved and maintained
bull Borrower experience is controlled and often results in great ability to maintain the relationship (higher cross sell and retention)
bull Full control of late fees and escrows

MSR Valuation amp AccountingMSR Valuation and Accounting is unique and requires additional specific knowledge and expertise Management must understand the MSR asset and the unique challenges and opportunities it creates
bull MSRs are initially capitalized at fair value (represented the net present value of the servicing revenue less expenses adjusted for prepayment speeds)
bull Once capitalized prospectively a company can elect either fair value or lower of cost or market accounting
bull Fair value is an irrevocable election
bull Fair value results in changes of the MSR asset value immediately slowing thru the income statement
bull Majority of large money center have chosen fair value accounting and hedge their MSR portfolios

Cash and Capital RequirementsThe decision to retain servicing requires the entity to maintain certain capital (cash) and also defers the immediate ability to turn the servicing into cash
bull FHFA has established minimum capital requirements that must be maintained
bull Portfolios will a high level of delinquencies are subject to maintain additional capital
bull Banks are subject to the capital requirement established by BASEL III
bull Changes to the BASEL III limits are in process of being finalized
bull Non Banks must evaluate the amount of their net worth that is tied up in the MSR asset
bull Warehouse lenders and mortgage guarantors monitor the MSR to net worth calculation
MSR Market
The MSR market is made up two distinct types of transactions
bull Co ndash Issue
bull Entering into a relationship with an MSR buyer to sell future production
bull Complex grid based approach
bull Originator often does not collect any payments and sells the MSR as soon as the loan is sold to guarantor (Fannie Freddie or GNMA)
bull Bulk
bull Servicing operational function is performed for a period of time (could be performed by a subservicer)
bull Servicing data is known at time of marketing selling bulk
bull MSR transactions take time to complete (often 90 days)
Profile of Recent MSR SellersA number of ldquoheadlinerdquo deals have occurred in 2017 however these attention grabbing transactions are not representative of the typical MSR transaction
bull Banks electing to reduce eliminate their mortgage operations (ldquoCitirdquo)
bull Capital One exits the mortgage origination business (and is evaluating its servicing portfolio)
bull MSR Investors (Non Banks) looking to reduce eliminate their MSR holdings (ldquoPHHrdquo ldquoSenecardquo)
bull Independent Mortgage Bankers looking to monetize a portion of their servicing assets for cash
bull A large number of IMBs elected to retain servicing in recent years and are now looking to reduce their percentage of net worth tied up in the MSR asset
bull Ownership of the MSR asset in the past several years has created income volatility as a result of rates
bull Banks that had a potential or perceived BASEL III Issue (first half of 2017)
bull Aggregators (either MSR buyers or Correspondent aggregators) who periodically want to test ldquothe liquidity of their investmentrdquo
bull Non Banks looking to monetize and liquidate their servicing and redeploy the cash
57
Profile of Recent MSR BuyersA wide variety of MSR buyers exists currently compared to 15 years ago the space was dominated by Banks
bull Large private equity firms
bull Tend to only purchase very large ($5 billion or larger deals)
bull Regional Banks with servicing platforms
bull Only buy clean Fannie Freddie servicing typically in $500 million to $10 billion portfolio size
bull Some only buy bulk deals others participate in the co-issue
bull Often have strict requirements in terms of counterparty geography etc
bull In 2017 six regional super regionals banks participated in the bulk market
bull MSR Investment Vehicles REITs
bull Still active but since 2014 have become more selective in deals (and product)
bull Consolidation partnering increased in 2017 (PingoraLakeview)
bull Smaller regional servicers (mostly banks) that have servicing operations
bull Deal size is often under $750 million and typically do not buy Ginnie Mae servicing

BASEL III Update Today [November 21 2017] the Federal banking regulators finalized the pause on Basel III implementation to allow banks that are not subject to Basel IIIs advanced approaches to extend the current regulatory capital treatment of mortgage servicing assets (MSAs) Advanced approaches banking organizations (those with over $250 billion in assets or more than $10 billion in foreign exposure) are required to apply the capital rulesrsquo fully phased-in treatment for these capital items beginning January 1 2018
For example the transitions NPR [now finalized] would require a non-advanced approaches banking organization with an amount of MSAs above the 10 percent common equity tier 1 capital deduction threshold in the capital rules to deduct from common equity tier 1 capital 80 percent of the amount of MSAs above this threshold and to apply a 100 percent risk weight to the MSAs that are not deducted from common equity tier 1 capital including the MSAs that otherwise would be deducted but for the transition provisions

Subservicing versus Servicing in house
Subservicing model
bull Immediate access to experienced servicing operations
bull Outsources maintenance and compliance
bull Per unit based fee structure along with specific activity based fees including boarding and de-boarding
bull Borrower experience (communication) is being done by a vendor
bull Oversight and management of the sub-servicer is still required
In House Servicing
bull Requires scale to obtain any efficiencies
bull Requires hiring and maintaining staff along with the on-going compliance
bull Greater ability to control costs if efficiencies and scale is achieved and maintained
bull Borrower experience is controlled and often results in great ability to maintain the relationship (higher cross sell and retention)
bull Full control of late fees and escrows
CoverPage-SubTitle - CoverPage-Title
MSR Valuation amp AccountingMSR Valuation and Accounting is unique and requires additional specific knowledge and expertise Management must understand the MSR asset and the unique challenges and opportunities it creates
bull MSRs are initially capitalized at fair value (represented the net present value of the servicing revenue less expenses adjusted for prepayment speeds)
bull Once capitalized prospectively a company can elect either fair value or lower of cost or market accounting
bull Fair value is an irrevocable election
bull Fair value results in changes of the MSR asset value immediately slowing thru the income statement
bull Majority of large money center have chosen fair value accounting and hedge their MSR portfolios
bull Management reporting and understanding the potential risks of the MSR is critical

Tax Reform Bill 2017
The House and Senate passed HR1 the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and the President signed the bill into legislation right before the Holiday Break (effective for the 2018 tax year)
bull Change in Corporate Tax Rate from 35 to 21
bull Will impact the ldquoCrdquo Corp Bank as the MSR asset is net of the deferred tax liability for BASEL III the lower the tax rate the more than the MSR asset counts toward BASEL III limits
bull A cap on the Interest Deduction (ldquoMIDrdquo)
bull Maintains the mortgage interest deduction for existing mortgages but limits deduction to $750K on mortgages made after December 15th 2017
bull Debt on first and second under $750K but suspends deductibility of home equity lines
bull State and Local tax deductions (ldquoSALTrdquo) allows up to $10000 in state and local tax deductions
bull Maintained current tax treatment for MSRs
bull Preserved the Capital gains treatment for home sales allowing homeowners ability to exclude up to $500K on gain on sale of primary residence

BASEL III Update Today [November 21 2017] the Federal banking regulators finalized the pause on Basel III implementation to allow banks that are not subject to Basel IIIs advanced approaches to extend the current regulatory capital treatment of mortgage servicing assets (MSAs) Advanced approaches banking organizations (those with over $250 billion in assets or more than $10 billion in foreign exposure) are required to apply the capital rulesrsquo fully phased-in treatment for these capital items beginning January 1 2018
For example the transitions NPR [now finalized] would require a non-advanced approaches banking organization with an amount of MSAs above the 10 percent common equity tier 1 capital deduction threshold in the capital rules to deduct from common equity tier 1 capital 80 percent of the amount of MSAs above this threshold and to apply a 100 percent risk weight to the MSAs that are not deducted from common equity tier 1 capital including the MSAs that otherwise would be deducted but for the transition provisions

Loan Servicing Overview
Careers in Residential Mortgage Lending - Overview of the Residential Mortgage IndustrySource School of Mortgage Banking I - Introduction to Mortgage Banking
Subservicing versus Servicing in house
Subservicing model
bull Immediate access to experienced servicing operations
bull Outsources maintenance and compliance
bull Per unit based fee structure along with specific activity based fees including boarding and de-boarding
bull Borrower experience (communication) is being done by a vendor
bull Oversight and management of the sub-servicer is still required
In House Servicing
bull Requires scale to obtain any efficiencies
bull Requires hiring and maintaining staff along with the on-going compliance
bull Greater ability to control costs if efficiencies and scale is achieved and maintained
bull Borrower experience is controlled and often results in great ability to maintain the relationship (higher cross sell and retention)
bull Full control of late fees and escrows
CoverPage-SubTitle - CoverPage-Title
MSR Valuation amp AccountingMSR Valuation and Accounting is unique and requires additional specific knowledge and expertise Management must understand the MSR asset and the unique challenges and opportunities it creates
bull MSRs are initially capitalized at fair value (represented the net present value of the servicing revenue less expenses adjusted for prepayment speeds)
bull Once capitalized prospectively a company can elect either fair value or lower of cost or market accounting
bull Fair value is an irrevocable election
bull Fair value results in changes of the MSR asset value immediately slowing thru the income statement
bull Majority of large money center have chosen fair value accounting and hedge their MSR portfolios
bull Management reporting and understanding the potential risks of the MSR is critical

Cash and Capital RequirementsThe decision to retain servicing requires the entity to maintain certain capital (cash) and also defers the immediate ability to turn the servicing into cash
bull FHFA has established minimum capital requirements that must be maintained
bull Portfolios will a high level of delinquencies are subject to maintain additional capital
bull Banks are subject to the capital requirement established by BASEL III
bull Changes to the BASEL III limits are in process of being finalized
bull Non Banks must evaluate the amount of their net worth that is tied up in the MSR asset
bull Warehouse lenders and mortgage guarantors monitor the MSR to net worth calculation
MSR Market
The MSR market is made up two distinct types of transactions
bull Co ndash Issue
bull Entering into a relationship with an MSR buyer to sell future production
bull Complex grid based approach
bull Originator often does not collect any payments and sells the MSR as soon as the loan is sold to guarantor (Fannie Freddie or GNMA)
bull Bulk
bull Servicing operational function is performed for a period of time (could be performed by a subservicer)
bull Servicing data is known at time of marketing selling bulk
bull MSR transactions take time to complete (often 90 days)
Profile of Recent MSR SellersA number of ldquoheadlinerdquo deals have occurred in 2017 however these attention grabbing transactions are not representative of the typical MSR transaction
bull Banks electing to reduce eliminate their mortgage operations (ldquoCitirdquo)
bull Capital One exits the mortgage origination business (and is evaluating its servicing portfolio)
bull MSR Investors (Non Banks) looking to reduce eliminate their MSR holdings (ldquoPHHrdquo ldquoSenecardquo)
bull Independent Mortgage Bankers looking to monetize a portion of their servicing assets for cash
bull A large number of IMBs elected to retain servicing in recent years and are now looking to reduce their percentage of net worth tied up in the MSR asset
bull Ownership of the MSR asset in the past several years has created income volatility as a result of rates
bull Banks that had a potential or perceived BASEL III Issue (first half of 2017)
bull Aggregators (either MSR buyers or Correspondent aggregators) who periodically want to test ldquothe liquidity of their investmentrdquo
bull Non Banks looking to monetize and liquidate their servicing and redeploy the cash

BASEL III Update Today [November 21 2017] the Federal banking regulators finalized the pause on Basel III implementation to allow banks that are not subject to Basel IIIs advanced approaches to extend the current regulatory capital treatment of mortgage servicing assets (MSAs) Advanced approaches banking organizations (those with over $250 billion in assets or more than $10 billion in foreign exposure) are required to apply the capital rulesrsquo fully phased-in treatment for these capital items beginning January 1 2018
For example the transitions NPR [now finalized] would require a non-advanced approaches banking organization with an amount of MSAs above the 10 percent common equity tier 1 capital deduction threshold in the capital rules to deduct from common equity tier 1 capital 80 percent of the amount of MSAs above this threshold and to apply a 100 percent risk weight to the MSAs that are not deducted from common equity tier 1 capital including the MSAs that otherwise would be deducted but for the transition provisions

Careers in Residential Mortgage Lending - Overview of the Residential Mortgage IndustrySource School of Mortgage Banking I - Introduction to Mortgage Banking
Subservicing versus Servicing in house
Subservicing model
bull Immediate access to experienced servicing operations
bull Outsources maintenance and compliance
bull Per unit based fee structure along with specific activity based fees including boarding and de-boarding
bull Borrower experience (communication) is being done by a vendor
bull Oversight and management of the sub-servicer is still required
In House Servicing
bull Requires scale to obtain any efficiencies
bull Requires hiring and maintaining staff along with the on-going compliance
bull Greater ability to control costs if efficiencies and scale is achieved and maintained
bull Borrower experience is controlled and often results in great ability to maintain the relationship (higher cross sell and retention)
bull Full control of late fees and escrows
CoverPage-SubTitle - CoverPage-Title
MSR Valuation amp AccountingMSR Valuation and Accounting is unique and requires additional specific knowledge and expertise Management must understand the MSR asset and the unique challenges and opportunities it creates
bull MSRs are initially capitalized at fair value (represented the net present value of the servicing revenue less expenses adjusted for prepayment speeds)
bull Once capitalized prospectively a company can elect either fair value or lower of cost or market accounting
bull Fair value is an irrevocable election
bull Fair value results in changes of the MSR asset value immediately slowing thru the income statement
bull Majority of large money center have chosen fair value accounting and hedge their MSR portfolios
bull Management reporting and understanding the potential risks of the MSR is critical

Cash and Capital RequirementsThe decision to retain servicing requires the entity to maintain certain capital (cash) and also defers the immediate ability to turn the servicing into cash
bull FHFA has established minimum capital requirements that must be maintained
bull Portfolios will a high level of delinquencies are subject to maintain additional capital
bull Banks are subject to the capital requirement established by BASEL III
bull Changes to the BASEL III limits are in process of being finalized
bull Non Banks must evaluate the amount of their net worth that is tied up in the MSR asset
bull Warehouse lenders and mortgage guarantors monitor the MSR to net worth calculation
MSR Market
The MSR market is made up two distinct types of transactions
bull Co ndash Issue
bull Entering into a relationship with an MSR buyer to sell future production
bull Complex grid based approach
bull Originator often does not collect any payments and sells the MSR as soon as the loan is sold to guarantor (Fannie Freddie or GNMA)
bull Bulk
bull Servicing operational function is performed for a period of time (could be performed by a subservicer)
bull Servicing data is known at time of marketing selling bulk
bull MSR transactions take time to complete (often 90 days)
Profile of Recent MSR SellersA number of ldquoheadlinerdquo deals have occurred in 2017 however these attention grabbing transactions are not representative of the typical MSR transaction
bull Banks electing to reduce eliminate their mortgage operations (ldquoCitirdquo)
bull Capital One exits the mortgage origination business (and is evaluating its servicing portfolio)
bull MSR Investors (Non Banks) looking to reduce eliminate their MSR holdings (ldquoPHHrdquo ldquoSenecardquo)
bull Independent Mortgage Bankers looking to monetize a portion of their servicing assets for cash
bull A large number of IMBs elected to retain servicing in recent years and are now looking to reduce their percentage of net worth tied up in the MSR asset
bull Ownership of the MSR asset in the past several years has created income volatility as a result of rates
bull Banks that had a potential or perceived BASEL III Issue (first half of 2017)
bull Aggregators (either MSR buyers or Correspondent aggregators) who periodically want to test ldquothe liquidity of their investmentrdquo
bull Non Banks looking to monetize and liquidate their servicing and redeploy the cash
57
Profile of Recent MSR BuyersA wide variety of MSR buyers exists currently compared to 15 years ago the space was dominated by Banks
bull Large private equity firms
bull Tend to only purchase very large ($5 billion or larger deals)
bull Regional Banks with servicing platforms
bull Only buy clean Fannie Freddie servicing typically in $500 million to $10 billion portfolio size
bull Some only buy bulk deals others participate in the co-issue
bull Often have strict requirements in terms of counterparty geography etc
bull In 2017 six regional super regionals banks participated in the bulk market
bull MSR Investment Vehicles REITs
bull Still active but since 2014 have become more selective in deals (and product)
bull Consolidation partnering increased in 2017 (PingoraLakeview)
bull Smaller regional servicers (mostly banks) that have servicing operations
bull Deal size is often under $750 million and typically do not buy Ginnie Mae servicing

bull Mandatory Delivery
bull LenderOriginator is required to deliver committed loans to investoraggregator
bull Failure to deliver usually requires the LenderOriginator to pay for any market costs incurred by the investoraggregator
bull Certainty of Delivery
bull LenderOriginator incurs more responsibility in a Mandatory commitment
bull InvestorAggregator no longer incurs any hedge costs from pull through fluctuations
bull InvestorAggregators pay substantial premium for this certainty
bull Historically there is a 35 basis point premium paid for Mandatory delivery

Subservicing versus Servicing in house
Subservicing model
bull Immediate access to experienced servicing operations
bull Outsources maintenance and compliance
bull Per unit based fee structure along with specific activity based fees including boarding and de-boarding
bull Borrower experience (communication) is being done by a vendor
bull Oversight and management of the sub-servicer is still required
In House Servicing
bull Requires scale to obtain any efficiencies
bull Requires hiring and maintaining staff along with the on-going compliance
bull Greater ability to control costs if efficiencies and scale is achieved and maintained
bull Borrower experience is controlled and often results in great ability to maintain the relationship (higher cross sell and retention)
bull Full control of late fees and escrows

MSR Valuation amp AccountingMSR Valuation and Accounting is unique and requires additional specific knowledge and expertise Management must understand the MSR asset and the unique challenges and opportunities it creates
bull MSRs are initially capitalized at fair value (represented the net present value of the servicing revenue less expenses adjusted for prepayment speeds)
bull Once capitalized prospectively a company can elect either fair value or lower of cost or market accounting
bull Fair value is an irrevocable election
bull Fair value results in changes of the MSR asset value immediately slowing thru the income statement
bull Majority of large money center have chosen fair value accounting and hedge their MSR portfolios

Cash and Capital RequirementsThe decision to retain servicing requires the entity to maintain certain capital (cash) and also defers the immediate ability to turn the servicing into cash
bull FHFA has established minimum capital requirements that must be maintained
bull Portfolios will a high level of delinquencies are subject to maintain additional capital
bull Banks are subject to the capital requirement established by BASEL III
bull Changes to the BASEL III limits are in process of being finalized
bull Non Banks must evaluate the amount of their net worth that is tied up in the MSR asset
bull Warehouse lenders and mortgage guarantors monitor the MSR to net worth calculation
MSR Market
The MSR market is made up two distinct types of transactions
bull Co ndash Issue
bull Entering into a relationship with an MSR buyer to sell future production
bull Complex grid based approach
bull Originator often does not collect any payments and sells the MSR as soon as the loan is sold to guarantor (Fannie Freddie or GNMA)
bull Bulk
bull Servicing operational function is performed for a period of time (could be performed by a subservicer)
bull Servicing data is known at time of marketing selling bulk
bull MSR transactions take time to complete (often 90 days)
Profile of Recent MSR SellersA number of ldquoheadlinerdquo deals have occurred in 2017 however these attention grabbing transactions are not representative of the typical MSR transaction
bull Banks electing to reduce eliminate their mortgage operations (ldquoCitirdquo)
bull Capital One exits the mortgage origination business (and is evaluating its servicing portfolio)
bull MSR Investors (Non Banks) looking to reduce eliminate their MSR holdings (ldquoPHHrdquo ldquoSenecardquo)
bull Independent Mortgage Bankers looking to monetize a portion of their servicing assets for cash
bull A large number of IMBs elected to retain servicing in recent years and are now looking to reduce their percentage of net worth tied up in the MSR asset
bull Ownership of the MSR asset in the past several years has created income volatility as a result of rates
bull Banks that had a potential or perceived BASEL III Issue (first half of 2017)
bull Aggregators (either MSR buyers or Correspondent aggregators) who periodically want to test ldquothe liquidity of their investmentrdquo
bull Non Banks looking to monetize and liquidate their servicing and redeploy the cash
57
Profile of Recent MSR BuyersA wide variety of MSR buyers exists currently compared to 15 years ago the space was dominated by Banks
bull Large private equity firms
bull Tend to only purchase very large ($5 billion or larger deals)
bull Regional Banks with servicing platforms
bull Only buy clean Fannie Freddie servicing typically in $500 million to $10 billion portfolio size
bull Some only buy bulk deals others participate in the co-issue
bull Often have strict requirements in terms of counterparty geography etc
bull In 2017 six regional super regionals banks participated in the bulk market
bull MSR Investment Vehicles REITs
bull Still active but since 2014 have become more selective in deals (and product)
bull Consolidation partnering increased in 2017 (PingoraLakeview)
bull Smaller regional servicers (mostly banks) that have servicing operations
bull Deal size is often under $750 million and typically do not buy Ginnie Mae servicing

bull Align their product suite with your origination needs
bull Compare pricing across aggregators
bull Compare delivery requirements
bull Review approval requirements
bull Each aggregator has their own set of requirements
bull Net worth warehouse providers policies and procedures etc
Defining Best ExecutionAs a mortgage company matures from Best Efforts to Mandatory Deliveries the profit (and risks change)
bull Best Efforts Delivery
bull LenderOriginator has no financial responsibility to the investoraggregator
bull Mandatory Delivery
bull LenderOriginator is required to deliver committed loans to investoraggregator
bull Failure to deliver usually requires the LenderOriginator to pay for any market costs incurred by the investoraggregator
bull Certainty of Delivery
bull LenderOriginator incurs more responsibility in a Mandatory commitment
bull InvestorAggregator no longer incurs any hedge costs from pull through fluctuations
bull InvestorAggregators pay substantial premium for this certainty
bull Historically there is a 35 basis point premium paid for Mandatory delivery
Best Efforts Deliveries
Most mortgage companies begin their secondary life cycle by delivering closed loans to investors on a best efforts basis (selling servicing released)

BASEL III Update Today [November 21 2017] the Federal banking regulators finalized the pause on Basel III implementation to allow banks that are not subject to Basel IIIs advanced approaches to extend the current regulatory capital treatment of mortgage servicing assets (MSAs) Advanced approaches banking organizations (those with over $250 billion in assets or more than $10 billion in foreign exposure) are required to apply the capital rulesrsquo fully phased-in treatment for these capital items beginning January 1 2018
For example the transitions NPR [now finalized] would require a non-advanced approaches banking organization with an amount of MSAs above the 10 percent common equity tier 1 capital deduction threshold in the capital rules to deduct from common equity tier 1 capital 80 percent of the amount of MSAs above this threshold and to apply a 100 percent risk weight to the MSAs that are not deducted from common equity tier 1 capital including the MSAs that otherwise would be deducted but for the transition provisions

Loan Servicing Overview
Careers in Residential Mortgage Lending - Overview of the Residential Mortgage IndustrySource School of Mortgage Banking I - Introduction to Mortgage Banking
Subservicing versus Servicing in house
Subservicing model
bull Immediate access to experienced servicing operations
bull Outsources maintenance and compliance
bull Per unit based fee structure along with specific activity based fees including boarding and de-boarding
bull Borrower experience (communication) is being done by a vendor
bull Oversight and management of the sub-servicer is still required
In House Servicing
bull Requires scale to obtain any efficiencies
bull Requires hiring and maintaining staff along with the on-going compliance
bull Greater ability to control costs if efficiencies and scale is achieved and maintained
bull Borrower experience is controlled and often results in great ability to maintain the relationship (higher cross sell and retention)
bull Full control of late fees and escrows

MSR Valuation amp AccountingMSR Valuation and Accounting is unique and requires additional specific knowledge and expertise Management must understand the MSR asset and the unique challenges and opportunities it creates
bull MSRs are initially capitalized at fair value (represented the net present value of the servicing revenue less expenses adjusted for prepayment speeds)
bull Once capitalized prospectively a company can elect either fair value or lower of cost or market accounting
bull Fair value is an irrevocable election
bull Fair value results in changes of the MSR asset value immediately slowing thru the income statement
bull Majority of large money center have chosen fair value accounting and hedge their MSR portfolios
bull Management reporting and understanding the potential risks of the MSR is critical

BASEL III Update Today [November 21 2017] the Federal banking regulators finalized the pause on Basel III implementation to allow banks that are not subject to Basel IIIs advanced approaches to extend the current regulatory capital treatment of mortgage servicing assets (MSAs) Advanced approaches banking organizations (those with over $250 billion in assets or more than $10 billion in foreign exposure) are required to apply the capital rulesrsquo fully phased-in treatment for these capital items beginning January 1 2018
For example the transitions NPR [now finalized] would require a non-advanced approaches banking organization with an amount of MSAs above the 10 percent common equity tier 1 capital deduction threshold in the capital rules to deduct from common equity tier 1 capital 80 percent of the amount of MSAs above this threshold and to apply a 100 percent risk weight to the MSAs that are not deducted from common equity tier 1 capital including the MSAs that otherwise would be deducted but for the transition provisions

Loan Servicing Overview
Careers in Residential Mortgage Lending - Overview of the Residential Mortgage IndustrySource School of Mortgage Banking I - Introduction to Mortgage Banking
Subservicing versus Servicing in house
Subservicing model
bull Immediate access to experienced servicing operations
bull Outsources maintenance and compliance
bull Per unit based fee structure along with specific activity based fees including boarding and de-boarding
bull Borrower experience (communication) is being done by a vendor
bull Oversight and management of the sub-servicer is still required
In House Servicing
bull Requires scale to obtain any efficiencies
bull Requires hiring and maintaining staff along with the on-going compliance
bull Greater ability to control costs if efficiencies and scale is achieved and maintained
bull Borrower experience is controlled and often results in great ability to maintain the relationship (higher cross sell and retention)
bull Full control of late fees and escrows
CoverPage-SubTitle - CoverPage-Title
MSR Valuation amp AccountingMSR Valuation and Accounting is unique and requires additional specific knowledge and expertise Management must understand the MSR asset and the unique challenges and opportunities it creates
bull MSRs are initially capitalized at fair value (represented the net present value of the servicing revenue less expenses adjusted for prepayment speeds)
bull Once capitalized prospectively a company can elect either fair value or lower of cost or market accounting
bull Fair value is an irrevocable election
bull Fair value results in changes of the MSR asset value immediately slowing thru the income statement
bull Majority of large money center have chosen fair value accounting and hedge their MSR portfolios
bull Management reporting and understanding the potential risks of the MSR is critical

Cash and Capital RequirementsThe decision to retain servicing requires the entity to maintain certain capital (cash) and also defers the immediate ability to turn the servicing into cash
bull FHFA has established minimum capital requirements that must be maintained
bull Portfolios will a high level of delinquencies are subject to maintain additional capital
bull Banks are subject to the capital requirement established by BASEL III
bull Changes to the BASEL III limits are in process of being finalized
bull Non Banks must evaluate the amount of their net worth that is tied up in the MSR asset
bull Warehouse lenders and mortgage guarantors monitor the MSR to net worth calculation
MSR Market
The MSR market is made up two distinct types of transactions
bull Co ndash Issue
bull Entering into a relationship with an MSR buyer to sell future production
bull Complex grid based approach
bull Originator often does not collect any payments and sells the MSR as soon as the loan is sold to guarantor (Fannie Freddie or GNMA)
bull Bulk
bull Servicing operational function is performed for a period of time (could be performed by a subservicer)
bull Servicing data is known at time of marketing selling bulk
bull MSR transactions take time to complete (often 90 days)
Profile of Recent MSR SellersA number of ldquoheadlinerdquo deals have occurred in 2017 however these attention grabbing transactions are not representative of the typical MSR transaction
bull Banks electing to reduce eliminate their mortgage operations (ldquoCitirdquo)
bull Capital One exits the mortgage origination business (and is evaluating its servicing portfolio)
bull MSR Investors (Non Banks) looking to reduce eliminate their MSR holdings (ldquoPHHrdquo ldquoSenecardquo)
bull Independent Mortgage Bankers looking to monetize a portion of their servicing assets for cash
bull A large number of IMBs elected to retain servicing in recent years and are now looking to reduce their percentage of net worth tied up in the MSR asset
bull Ownership of the MSR asset in the past several years has created income volatility as a result of rates
bull Banks that had a potential or perceived BASEL III Issue (first half of 2017)
bull Aggregators (either MSR buyers or Correspondent aggregators) who periodically want to test ldquothe liquidity of their investmentrdquo
bull Non Banks looking to monetize and liquidate their servicing and redeploy the cash
57
Profile of Recent MSR BuyersA wide variety of MSR buyers exists currently compared to 15 years ago the space was dominated by Banks
bull Large private equity firms
bull Tend to only purchase very large ($5 billion or larger deals)
bull Regional Banks with servicing platforms
bull Only buy clean Fannie Freddie servicing typically in $500 million to $10 billion portfolio size
bull Some only buy bulk deals others participate in the co-issue
bull Often have strict requirements in terms of counterparty geography etc
bull In 2017 six regional super regionals banks participated in the bulk market
bull MSR Investment Vehicles REITs
bull Still active but since 2014 have become more selective in deals (and product)
bull Consolidation partnering increased in 2017 (PingoraLakeview)
bull Smaller regional servicers (mostly banks) that have servicing operations
bull Deal size is often under $750 million and typically do not buy Ginnie Mae servicing

Choosing the ldquoRightrdquo Aggregators
Numerous options exist to deliver loans choosing the right combination of Aggregators is critical
bull Evaluate an Aggregatorrsquos product offering and pricing
bull Align their product suite with your origination needs
bull Compare pricing across aggregators
bull Compare delivery requirements
bull Review approval requirements
bull Each aggregator has their own set of requirements
bull Net worth warehouse providers policies and procedures etc
Defining Best ExecutionAs a mortgage company matures from Best Efforts to Mandatory Deliveries the profit (and risks change)
bull Best Efforts Delivery
bull LenderOriginator has no financial responsibility to the investoraggregator
bull Mandatory Delivery
bull LenderOriginator is required to deliver committed loans to investoraggregator
bull Failure to deliver usually requires the LenderOriginator to pay for any market costs incurred by the investoraggregator
bull Certainty of Delivery
bull LenderOriginator incurs more responsibility in a Mandatory commitment
bull InvestorAggregator no longer incurs any hedge costs from pull through fluctuations
bull InvestorAggregators pay substantial premium for this certainty
bull Historically there is a 35 basis point premium paid for Mandatory delivery
Best Efforts Deliveries
Most mortgage companies begin their secondary life cycle by delivering closed loans to investors on a best efforts basis (selling servicing released)
bull Established warehouse lines of credit to close in-house
bull Managing warehouse lines of credit
bull Net worth and cash flow

Subservicing versus Servicing in house
Subservicing model
bull Immediate access to experienced servicing operations
bull Outsources maintenance and compliance
bull Per unit based fee structure along with specific activity based fees including boarding and de-boarding
bull Borrower experience (communication) is being done by a vendor
bull Oversight and management of the sub-servicer is still required
In House Servicing
bull Requires scale to obtain any efficiencies
bull Requires hiring and maintaining staff along with the on-going compliance
bull Greater ability to control costs if efficiencies and scale is achieved and maintained
bull Borrower experience is controlled and often results in great ability to maintain the relationship (higher cross sell and retention)
bull Full control of late fees and escrows

MSR Valuation amp AccountingMSR Valuation and Accounting is unique and requires additional specific knowledge and expertise Management must understand the MSR asset and the unique challenges and opportunities it creates
bull MSRs are initially capitalized at fair value (represented the net present value of the servicing revenue less expenses adjusted for prepayment speeds)
bull Once capitalized prospectively a company can elect either fair value or lower of cost or market accounting
bull Fair value is an irrevocable election
bull Fair value results in changes of the MSR asset value immediately slowing thru the income statement
bull Majority of large money center have chosen fair value accounting and hedge their MSR portfolios

Cash and Capital RequirementsThe decision to retain servicing requires the entity to maintain certain capital (cash) and also defers the immediate ability to turn the servicing into cash
bull FHFA has established minimum capital requirements that must be maintained
bull Portfolios will a high level of delinquencies are subject to maintain additional capital
bull Banks are subject to the capital requirement established by BASEL III
bull Changes to the BASEL III limits are in process of being finalized
bull Non Banks must evaluate the amount of their net worth that is tied up in the MSR asset
bull Warehouse lenders and mortgage guarantors monitor the MSR to net worth calculation
MSR Market
The MSR market is made up two distinct types of transactions
bull Co ndash Issue
bull Entering into a relationship with an MSR buyer to sell future production
bull Complex grid based approach
bull Originator often does not collect any payments and sells the MSR as soon as the loan is sold to guarantor (Fannie Freddie or GNMA)
bull Bulk
bull Servicing operational function is performed for a period of time (could be performed by a subservicer)
bull Servicing data is known at time of marketing selling bulk
bull MSR transactions take time to complete (often 90 days)
Profile of Recent MSR SellersA number of ldquoheadlinerdquo deals have occurred in 2017 however these attention grabbing transactions are not representative of the typical MSR transaction
bull Banks electing to reduce eliminate their mortgage operations (ldquoCitirdquo)
bull Capital One exits the mortgage origination business (and is evaluating its servicing portfolio)
bull MSR Investors (Non Banks) looking to reduce eliminate their MSR holdings (ldquoPHHrdquo ldquoSenecardquo)
bull Independent Mortgage Bankers looking to monetize a portion of their servicing assets for cash
bull A large number of IMBs elected to retain servicing in recent years and are now looking to reduce their percentage of net worth tied up in the MSR asset
bull Ownership of the MSR asset in the past several years has created income volatility as a result of rates
bull Banks that had a potential or perceived BASEL III Issue (first half of 2017)
bull Aggregators (either MSR buyers or Correspondent aggregators) who periodically want to test ldquothe liquidity of their investmentrdquo
bull Non Banks looking to monetize and liquidate their servicing and redeploy the cash
57
Profile of Recent MSR BuyersA wide variety of MSR buyers exists currently compared to 15 years ago the space was dominated by Banks
bull Large private equity firms
bull Tend to only purchase very large ($5 billion or larger deals)
bull Regional Banks with servicing platforms
bull Only buy clean Fannie Freddie servicing typically in $500 million to $10 billion portfolio size
bull Some only buy bulk deals others participate in the co-issue
bull Often have strict requirements in terms of counterparty geography etc
bull In 2017 six regional super regionals banks participated in the bulk market
bull MSR Investment Vehicles REITs
bull Still active but since 2014 have become more selective in deals (and product)
bull Consolidation partnering increased in 2017 (PingoraLakeview)
bull Smaller regional servicers (mostly banks) that have servicing operations
bull Deal size is often under $750 million and typically do not buy Ginnie Mae servicing

Defining Best ExecutionAs a mortgage company matures from Best Efforts to Mandatory Deliveries the profit (and risks change)
bull Best Efforts Delivery
bull LenderOriginator has no financial responsibility to the investoraggregator
bull Mandatory Delivery
bull LenderOriginator is required to deliver committed loans to investoraggregator
bull Failure to deliver usually requires the LenderOriginator to pay for any market costs incurred by the investoraggregator
bull Certainty of Delivery
bull LenderOriginator incurs more responsibility in a Mandatory commitment
bull InvestorAggregator no longer incurs any hedge costs from pull through fluctuations
bull InvestorAggregators pay substantial premium for this certainty
bull Historically there is a 35 basis point premium paid for Mandatory delivery
Best Efforts Deliveries
Most mortgage companies begin their secondary life cycle by delivering closed loans to investors on a best efforts basis (selling servicing released)

BASEL III Update Today [November 21 2017] the Federal banking regulators finalized the pause on Basel III implementation to allow banks that are not subject to Basel IIIs advanced approaches to extend the current regulatory capital treatment of mortgage servicing assets (MSAs) Advanced approaches banking organizations (those with over $250 billion in assets or more than $10 billion in foreign exposure) are required to apply the capital rulesrsquo fully phased-in treatment for these capital items beginning January 1 2018
For example the transitions NPR [now finalized] would require a non-advanced approaches banking organization with an amount of MSAs above the 10 percent common equity tier 1 capital deduction threshold in the capital rules to deduct from common equity tier 1 capital 80 percent of the amount of MSAs above this threshold and to apply a 100 percent risk weight to the MSAs that are not deducted from common equity tier 1 capital including the MSAs that otherwise would be deducted but for the transition provisions

Loan Servicing Overview
Careers in Residential Mortgage Lending - Overview of the Residential Mortgage IndustrySource School of Mortgage Banking I - Introduction to Mortgage Banking
Subservicing versus Servicing in house
Subservicing model
bull Immediate access to experienced servicing operations
bull Outsources maintenance and compliance
bull Per unit based fee structure along with specific activity based fees including boarding and de-boarding
bull Borrower experience (communication) is being done by a vendor
bull Oversight and management of the sub-servicer is still required
In House Servicing
bull Requires scale to obtain any efficiencies
bull Requires hiring and maintaining staff along with the on-going compliance
bull Greater ability to control costs if efficiencies and scale is achieved and maintained
bull Borrower experience is controlled and often results in great ability to maintain the relationship (higher cross sell and retention)
bull Full control of late fees and escrows
CoverPage-SubTitle - CoverPage-Title
MSR Valuation amp AccountingMSR Valuation and Accounting is unique and requires additional specific knowledge and expertise Management must understand the MSR asset and the unique challenges and opportunities it creates
bull MSRs are initially capitalized at fair value (represented the net present value of the servicing revenue less expenses adjusted for prepayment speeds)
bull Once capitalized prospectively a company can elect either fair value or lower of cost or market accounting
bull Fair value is an irrevocable election
bull Fair value results in changes of the MSR asset value immediately slowing thru the income statement
bull Majority of large money center have chosen fair value accounting and hedge their MSR portfolios
bull Management reporting and understanding the potential risks of the MSR is critical

Cash and Capital RequirementsThe decision to retain servicing requires the entity to maintain certain capital (cash) and also defers the immediate ability to turn the servicing into cash
bull FHFA has established minimum capital requirements that must be maintained
bull Portfolios will a high level of delinquencies are subject to maintain additional capital
bull Banks are subject to the capital requirement established by BASEL III
bull Changes to the BASEL III limits are in process of being finalized
bull Non Banks must evaluate the amount of their net worth that is tied up in the MSR asset

bull Servicing data is known at time of marketing selling bulk
bull MSR transactions take time to complete (often 90 days)

bull Banks electing to reduce eliminate their mortgage operations (ldquoCitirdquo)
bull Capital One exits the mortgage origination business (and is evaluating its servicing portfolio)
bull MSR Investors (Non Banks) looking to reduce eliminate their MSR holdings (ldquoPHHrdquo ldquoSenecardquo)
bull Independent Mortgage Bankers looking to monetize a portion of their servicing assets for cash
bull A large number of IMBs elected to retain servicing in recent years and are now looking to reduce their percentage of net worth tied up in the MSR asset
bull Ownership of the MSR asset in the past several years has created income volatility as a result of rates
bull Banks that had a potential or perceived BASEL III Issue (first half of 2017)
bull Aggregators (either MSR buyers or Correspondent aggregators) who periodically want to test ldquothe liquidity of their investmentrdquo
bull Non Banks looking to monetize and liquidate their servicing and redeploy the cash

bull Per unit based fee structure along with specific activity based fees including boarding and de-boarding
bull Borrower experience (communication) is being done by a vendor
bull Oversight and management of the sub-servicer is still required
In House Servicing
bull Requires scale to obtain any efficiencies
bull Requires hiring and maintaining staff along with the on-going compliance
bull Greater ability to control costs if efficiencies and scale is achieved and maintained
bull Borrower experience is controlled and often results in great ability to maintain the relationship (higher cross sell and retention)

BASEL III Update Today [November 21 2017] the Federal banking regulators finalized the pause on Basel III implementation to allow banks that are not subject to Basel IIIs advanced approaches to extend the current regulatory capital treatment of mortgage servicing assets (MSAs) Advanced approaches banking organizations (those with over $250 billion in assets or more than $10 billion in foreign exposure) are required to apply the capital rulesrsquo fully phased-in treatment for these capital items beginning January 1 2018
For example the transitions NPR [now finalized] would require a non-advanced approaches banking organization with an amount of MSAs above the 10 percent common equity tier 1 capital deduction threshold in the capital rules to deduct from common equity tier 1 capital 80 percent of the amount of MSAs above this threshold and to apply a 100 percent risk weight to the MSAs that are not deducted from common equity tier 1 capital including the MSAs that otherwise would be deducted but for the transition provisions

Loan Servicing Overview
Careers in Residential Mortgage Lending - Overview of the Residential Mortgage IndustrySource School of Mortgage Banking I - Introduction to Mortgage Banking
Subservicing versus Servicing in house
Subservicing model
bull Immediate access to experienced servicing operations
bull Outsources maintenance and compliance
bull Per unit based fee structure along with specific activity based fees including boarding and de-boarding
bull Borrower experience (communication) is being done by a vendor
bull Oversight and management of the sub-servicer is still required
In House Servicing
bull Requires scale to obtain any efficiencies
bull Requires hiring and maintaining staff along with the on-going compliance
bull Greater ability to control costs if efficiencies and scale is achieved and maintained
bull Borrower experience is controlled and often results in great ability to maintain the relationship (higher cross sell and retention)
bull Full control of late fees and escrows
CoverPage-SubTitle - CoverPage-Title
MSR Valuation amp AccountingMSR Valuation and Accounting is unique and requires additional specific knowledge and expertise Management must understand the MSR asset and the unique challenges and opportunities it creates
bull MSRs are initially capitalized at fair value (represented the net present value of the servicing revenue less expenses adjusted for prepayment speeds)
bull Once capitalized prospectively a company can elect either fair value or lower of cost or market accounting
bull Fair value is an irrevocable election
bull Fair value results in changes of the MSR asset value immediately slowing thru the income statement
bull Majority of large money center have chosen fair value accounting and hedge their MSR portfolios
bull Management reporting and understanding the potential risks of the MSR is critical

BASEL III Update Today [November 21 2017] the Federal banking regulators finalized the pause on Basel III implementation to allow banks that are not subject to Basel IIIs advanced approaches to extend the current regulatory capital treatment of mortgage servicing assets (MSAs) Advanced approaches banking organizations (those with over $250 billion in assets or more than $10 billion in foreign exposure) are required to apply the capital rulesrsquo fully phased-in treatment for these capital items beginning January 1 2018
For example the transitions NPR [now finalized] would require a non-advanced approaches banking organization with an amount of MSAs above the 10 percent common equity tier 1 capital deduction threshold in the capital rules to deduct from common equity tier 1 capital 80 percent of the amount of MSAs above this threshold and to apply a 100 percent risk weight to the MSAs that are not deducted from common equity tier 1 capital including the MSAs that otherwise would be deducted but for the transition provisions

Subservicing versus Servicing in house
Subservicing model
bull Immediate access to experienced servicing operations
bull Outsources maintenance and compliance
bull Per unit based fee structure along with specific activity based fees including boarding and de-boarding
bull Borrower experience (communication) is being done by a vendor
bull Oversight and management of the sub-servicer is still required
In House Servicing
bull Requires scale to obtain any efficiencies
bull Requires hiring and maintaining staff along with the on-going compliance
bull Greater ability to control costs if efficiencies and scale is achieved and maintained
bull Borrower experience is controlled and often results in great ability to maintain the relationship (higher cross sell and retention)
bull Full control of late fees and escrows

MSR Valuation amp AccountingMSR Valuation and Accounting is unique and requires additional specific knowledge and expertise Management must understand the MSR asset and the unique challenges and opportunities it creates
bull MSRs are initially capitalized at fair value (represented the net present value of the servicing revenue less expenses adjusted for prepayment speeds)
bull Once capitalized prospectively a company can elect either fair value or lower of cost or market accounting
bull Fair value is an irrevocable election
bull Fair value results in changes of the MSR asset value immediately slowing thru the income statement
bull Majority of large money center have chosen fair value accounting and hedge their MSR portfolios
bull Management reporting and understanding the potential risks of the MSR is critical

Cash and Capital RequirementsThe decision to retain servicing requires the entity to maintain certain capital (cash) and also defers the immediate ability to turn the servicing into cash
bull FHFA has established minimum capital requirements that must be maintained
bull Portfolios will a high level of delinquencies are subject to maintain additional capital
bull Banks are subject to the capital requirement established by BASEL III
bull Changes to the BASEL III limits are in process of being finalized
bull Non Banks must evaluate the amount of their net worth that is tied up in the MSR asset
bull Warehouse lenders and mortgage guarantors monitor the MSR to net worth calculation
MSR Market
The MSR market is made up two distinct types of transactions
bull Co ndash Issue
bull Entering into a relationship with an MSR buyer to sell future production
bull Complex grid based approach
bull Originator often does not collect any payments and sells the MSR as soon as the loan is sold to guarantor (Fannie Freddie or GNMA)
bull Bulk
bull Servicing operational function is performed for a period of time (could be performed by a subservicer)
bull Servicing data is known at time of marketing selling bulk
bull MSR transactions take time to complete (often 90 days)
Profile of Recent MSR SellersA number of ldquoheadlinerdquo deals have occurred in 2017 however these attention grabbing transactions are not representative of the typical MSR transaction
bull Banks electing to reduce eliminate their mortgage operations (ldquoCitirdquo)
bull Capital One exits the mortgage origination business (and is evaluating its servicing portfolio)
bull MSR Investors (Non Banks) looking to reduce eliminate their MSR holdings (ldquoPHHrdquo ldquoSenecardquo)
bull Independent Mortgage Bankers looking to monetize a portion of their servicing assets for cash
bull A large number of IMBs elected to retain servicing in recent years and are now looking to reduce their percentage of net worth tied up in the MSR asset
bull Ownership of the MSR asset in the past several years has created income volatility as a result of rates
bull Banks that had a potential or perceived BASEL III Issue (first half of 2017)
bull Aggregators (either MSR buyers or Correspondent aggregators) who periodically want to test ldquothe liquidity of their investmentrdquo
bull Non Banks looking to monetize and liquidate their servicing and redeploy the cash
57
Profile of Recent MSR BuyersA wide variety of MSR buyers exists currently compared to 15 years ago the space was dominated by Banks
bull Large private equity firms
bull Tend to only purchase very large ($5 billion or larger deals)
bull Regional Banks with servicing platforms
bull Only buy clean Fannie Freddie servicing typically in $500 million to $10 billion portfolio size
bull Some only buy bulk deals others participate in the co-issue
bull Often have strict requirements in terms of counterparty geography etc
bull In 2017 six regional super regionals banks participated in the bulk market
bull MSR Investment Vehicles REITs
bull Still active but since 2014 have become more selective in deals (and product)
bull Consolidation partnering increased in 2017 (PingoraLakeview)
bull Smaller regional servicers (mostly banks) that have servicing operations

Subservicing versus Servicing in house
Subservicing model
bull Immediate access to experienced servicing operations
bull Outsources maintenance and compliance
bull Per unit based fee structure along with specific activity based fees including boarding and de-boarding
bull Borrower experience (communication) is being done by a vendor
bull Oversight and management of the sub-servicer is still required
In House Servicing
bull Requires scale to obtain any efficiencies
bull Requires hiring and maintaining staff along with the on-going compliance
bull Greater ability to control costs if efficiencies and scale is achieved and maintained
bull Borrower experience is controlled and often results in great ability to maintain the relationship (higher cross sell and retention)
bull Full control of late fees and escrows

MSR Valuation amp AccountingMSR Valuation and Accounting is unique and requires additional specific knowledge and expertise Management must understand the MSR asset and the unique challenges and opportunities it creates
bull MSRs are initially capitalized at fair value (represented the net present value of the servicing revenue less expenses adjusted for prepayment speeds)
bull Once capitalized prospectively a company can elect either fair value or lower of cost or market accounting
bull Fair value is an irrevocable election
bull Fair value results in changes of the MSR asset value immediately slowing thru the income statement
bull Majority of large money center have chosen fair value accounting and hedge their MSR portfolios
bull Management reporting and understanding the potential risks of the MSR is critical

Cash and Capital RequirementsThe decision to retain servicing requires the entity to maintain certain capital (cash) and also defers the immediate ability to turn the servicing into cash
bull FHFA has established minimum capital requirements that must be maintained
bull Portfolios will a high level of delinquencies are subject to maintain additional capital
bull Banks are subject to the capital requirement established by BASEL III
bull Changes to the BASEL III limits are in process of being finalized
bull Non Banks must evaluate the amount of their net worth that is tied up in the MSR asset
bull Warehouse lenders and mortgage guarantors monitor the MSR to net worth calculation
MSR Market
The MSR market is made up two distinct types of transactions
bull Co ndash Issue
bull Entering into a relationship with an MSR buyer to sell future production
bull Complex grid based approach
bull Originator often does not collect any payments and sells the MSR as soon as the loan is sold to guarantor (Fannie Freddie or GNMA)
bull Bulk
bull Servicing operational function is performed for a period of time (could be performed by a subservicer)
bull Servicing data is known at time of marketing selling bulk
bull MSR transactions take time to complete (often 90 days)
Profile of Recent MSR SellersA number of ldquoheadlinerdquo deals have occurred in 2017 however these attention grabbing transactions are not representative of the typical MSR transaction
bull Banks electing to reduce eliminate their mortgage operations (ldquoCitirdquo)
bull Capital One exits the mortgage origination business (and is evaluating its servicing portfolio)
bull MSR Investors (Non Banks) looking to reduce eliminate their MSR holdings (ldquoPHHrdquo ldquoSenecardquo)
bull Independent Mortgage Bankers looking to monetize a portion of their servicing assets for cash
bull A large number of IMBs elected to retain servicing in recent years and are now looking to reduce their percentage of net worth tied up in the MSR asset
bull Ownership of the MSR asset in the past several years has created income volatility as a result of rates
bull Banks that had a potential or perceived BASEL III Issue (first half of 2017)
bull Aggregators (either MSR buyers or Correspondent aggregators) who periodically want to test ldquothe liquidity of their investmentrdquo
bull Non Banks looking to monetize and liquidate their servicing and redeploy the cash
57
Profile of Recent MSR BuyersA wide variety of MSR buyers exists currently compared to 15 years ago the space was dominated by Banks
bull Large private equity firms
bull Tend to only purchase very large ($5 billion or larger deals)
bull Regional Banks with servicing platforms
bull Only buy clean Fannie Freddie servicing typically in $500 million to $10 billion portfolio size
bull Some only buy bulk deals others participate in the co-issue
bull Often have strict requirements in terms of counterparty geography etc
bull In 2017 six regional super regionals banks participated in the bulk market
bull MSR Investment Vehicles REITs
bull Still active but since 2014 have become more selective in deals (and product)
bull Consolidation partnering increased in 2017 (PingoraLakeview)
bull Smaller regional servicers (mostly banks) that have servicing operations
bull Deal size is often under $750 million and typically do not buy Ginnie Mae servicing

BASEL III Update Today [November 21 2017] the Federal banking regulators finalized the pause on Basel III implementation to allow banks that are not subject to Basel IIIs advanced approaches to extend the current regulatory capital treatment of mortgage servicing assets (MSAs) Advanced approaches banking organizations (those with over $250 billion in assets or more than $10 billion in foreign exposure) are required to apply the capital rulesrsquo fully phased-in treatment for these capital items beginning January 1 2018
For example the transitions NPR [now finalized] would require a non-advanced approaches banking organization with an amount of MSAs above the 10 percent common equity tier 1 capital deduction threshold in the capital rules to deduct from common equity tier 1 capital 80 percent of the amount of MSAs above this threshold and to apply a 100 percent risk weight to the MSAs that are not deducted from common equity tier 1 capital including the MSAs that otherwise would be deducted but for the transition provisions

Subservicing versus Servicing in house
Subservicing model
bull Immediate access to experienced servicing operations
bull Outsources maintenance and compliance
bull Per unit based fee structure along with specific activity based fees including boarding and de-boarding
bull Borrower experience (communication) is being done by a vendor
bull Oversight and management of the sub-servicer is still required
In House Servicing
bull Requires scale to obtain any efficiencies
bull Requires hiring and maintaining staff along with the on-going compliance
bull Greater ability to control costs if efficiencies and scale is achieved and maintained
bull Borrower experience is controlled and often results in great ability to maintain the relationship (higher cross sell and retention)
bull Full control of late fees and escrows

MSR Valuation amp AccountingMSR Valuation and Accounting is unique and requires additional specific knowledge and expertise Management must understand the MSR asset and the unique challenges and opportunities it creates
bull MSRs are initially capitalized at fair value (represented the net present value of the servicing revenue less expenses adjusted for prepayment speeds)
bull Once capitalized prospectively a company can elect either fair value or lower of cost or market accounting
bull Fair value is an irrevocable election
bull Fair value results in changes of the MSR asset value immediately slowing thru the income statement
bull Majority of large money center have chosen fair value accounting and hedge their MSR portfolios
bull Management reporting and understanding the potential risks of the MSR is critical

BASEL III Update Today [November 21 2017] the Federal banking regulators finalized the pause on Basel III implementation to allow banks that are not subject to Basel IIIs advanced approaches to extend the current regulatory capital treatment of mortgage servicing assets (MSAs) Advanced approaches banking organizations (those with over $250 billion in assets or more than $10 billion in foreign exposure) are required to apply the capital rulesrsquo fully phased-in treatment for these capital items beginning January 1 2018
For example the transitions NPR [now finalized] would require a non-advanced approaches banking organization with an amount of MSAs above the 10 percent common equity tier 1 capital deduction threshold in the capital rules to deduct from common equity tier 1 capital 80 percent of the amount of MSAs above this threshold and to apply a 100 percent risk weight to the MSAs that are not deducted from common equity tier 1 capital including the MSAs that otherwise would be deducted but for the transition provisions

Subservicing versus Servicing in house
Subservicing model
bull Immediate access to experienced servicing operations
bull Outsources maintenance and compliance
bull Per unit based fee structure along with specific activity based fees including boarding and de-boarding
bull Borrower experience (communication) is being done by a vendor
bull Oversight and management of the sub-servicer is still required
In House Servicing
bull Requires scale to obtain any efficiencies
bull Requires hiring and maintaining staff along with the on-going compliance
bull Greater ability to control costs if efficiencies and scale is achieved and maintained
bull Borrower experience is controlled and often results in great ability to maintain the relationship (higher cross sell and retention)
bull Full control of late fees and escrows
CoverPage-SubTitle - CoverPage-Title
MSR Valuation amp AccountingMSR Valuation and Accounting is unique and requires additional specific knowledge and expertise Management must understand the MSR asset and the unique challenges and opportunities it creates
bull MSRs are initially capitalized at fair value (represented the net present value of the servicing revenue less expenses adjusted for prepayment speeds)
bull Once capitalized prospectively a company can elect either fair value or lower of cost or market accounting
bull Fair value is an irrevocable election
bull Fair value results in changes of the MSR asset value immediately slowing thru the income statement
bull Majority of large money center have chosen fair value accounting and hedge their MSR portfolios
bull Management reporting and understanding the potential risks of the MSR is critical

For example the transitions NPR [now finalized] would require a non-advanced approaches banking organization with an amount of MSAs above the 10 percent common equity tier 1 capital deduction threshold in the capital rules to deduct from common equity tier 1 capital 80 percent of the amount of MSAs above this threshold and to apply a 100 percent risk weight to the MSAs that are not deducted from common equity tier 1 capital including the MSAs that otherwise would be deducted but for the transition provisions

Careers in Residential Mortgage Lending - Overview of the Residential Mortgage IndustrySource School of Mortgage Banking I - Introduction to Mortgage Banking
Subservicing versus Servicing in house
Subservicing model
bull Immediate access to experienced servicing operations
bull Outsources maintenance and compliance
bull Per unit based fee structure along with specific activity based fees including boarding and de-boarding
bull Borrower experience (communication) is being done by a vendor
bull Oversight and management of the sub-servicer is still required
In House Servicing
bull Requires scale to obtain any efficiencies
bull Requires hiring and maintaining staff along with the on-going compliance
bull Greater ability to control costs if efficiencies and scale is achieved and maintained
bull Borrower experience is controlled and often results in great ability to maintain the relationship (higher cross sell and retention)
bull Full control of late fees and escrows
CoverPage-SubTitle - CoverPage-Title
MSR Valuation amp AccountingMSR Valuation and Accounting is unique and requires additional specific knowledge and expertise Management must understand the MSR asset and the unique challenges and opportunities it creates
bull MSRs are initially capitalized at fair value (represented the net present value of the servicing revenue less expenses adjusted for prepayment speeds)
bull Once capitalized prospectively a company can elect either fair value or lower of cost or market accounting
bull Fair value is an irrevocable election
bull Fair value results in changes of the MSR asset value immediately slowing thru the income statement
bull Majority of large money center have chosen fair value accounting and hedge their MSR portfolios
bull Management reporting and understanding the potential risks of the MSR is critical

Cash and Capital RequirementsThe decision to retain servicing requires the entity to maintain certain capital (cash) and also defers the immediate ability to turn the servicing into cash
bull FHFA has established minimum capital requirements that must be maintained
bull Portfolios will a high level of delinquencies are subject to maintain additional capital
bull Banks are subject to the capital requirement established by BASEL III
bull Changes to the BASEL III limits are in process of being finalized
bull Non Banks must evaluate the amount of their net worth that is tied up in the MSR asset
bull Warehouse lenders and mortgage guarantors monitor the MSR to net worth calculation
MSR Market
The MSR market is made up two distinct types of transactions
bull Co ndash Issue
bull Entering into a relationship with an MSR buyer to sell future production
bull Complex grid based approach
bull Originator often does not collect any payments and sells the MSR as soon as the loan is sold to guarantor (Fannie Freddie or GNMA)
bull Bulk
bull Servicing operational function is performed for a period of time (could be performed by a subservicer)
bull Servicing data is known at time of marketing selling bulk
bull MSR transactions take time to complete (often 90 days)
Profile of Recent MSR SellersA number of ldquoheadlinerdquo deals have occurred in 2017 however these attention grabbing transactions are not representative of the typical MSR transaction
bull Banks electing to reduce eliminate their mortgage operations (ldquoCitirdquo)
bull Capital One exits the mortgage origination business (and is evaluating its servicing portfolio)
bull MSR Investors (Non Banks) looking to reduce eliminate their MSR holdings (ldquoPHHrdquo ldquoSenecardquo)
bull Independent Mortgage Bankers looking to monetize a portion of their servicing assets for cash
bull A large number of IMBs elected to retain servicing in recent years and are now looking to reduce their percentage of net worth tied up in the MSR asset
bull Ownership of the MSR asset in the past several years has created income volatility as a result of rates
bull Banks that had a potential or perceived BASEL III Issue (first half of 2017)
bull Aggregators (either MSR buyers or Correspondent aggregators) who periodically want to test ldquothe liquidity of their investmentrdquo
bull Non Banks looking to monetize and liquidate their servicing and redeploy the cash
57
Profile of Recent MSR BuyersA wide variety of MSR buyers exists currently compared to 15 years ago the space was dominated by Banks
bull Large private equity firms
bull Tend to only purchase very large ($5 billion or larger deals)
bull Regional Banks with servicing platforms
bull Only buy clean Fannie Freddie servicing typically in $500 million to $10 billion portfolio size
bull Some only buy bulk deals others participate in the co-issue
bull Often have strict requirements in terms of counterparty geography etc
bull In 2017 six regional super regionals banks participated in the bulk market
bull MSR Investment Vehicles REITs
bull Still active but since 2014 have become more selective in deals (and product)
bull Consolidation partnering increased in 2017 (PingoraLakeview)
bull Smaller regional servicers (mostly banks) that have servicing operations
bull Deal size is often under $750 million and typically do not buy Ginnie Mae servicing

BASEL III Update Today [November 21 2017] the Federal banking regulators finalized the pause on Basel III implementation to allow banks that are not subject to Basel IIIs advanced approaches to extend the current regulatory capital treatment of mortgage servicing assets (MSAs) Advanced approaches banking organizations (those with over $250 billion in assets or more than $10 billion in foreign exposure) are required to apply the capital rulesrsquo fully phased-in treatment for these capital items beginning January 1 2018
For example the transitions NPR [now finalized] would require a non-advanced approaches banking organization with an amount of MSAs above the 10 percent common equity tier 1 capital deduction threshold in the capital rules to deduct from common equity tier 1 capital 80 percent of the amount of MSAs above this threshold and to apply a 100 percent risk weight to the MSAs that are not deducted from common equity tier 1 capital including the MSAs that otherwise would be deducted but for the transition provisions

Subservicing versus Servicing in house
Subservicing model
bull Immediate access to experienced servicing operations
bull Outsources maintenance and compliance
bull Per unit based fee structure along with specific activity based fees including boarding and de-boarding
bull Borrower experience (communication) is being done by a vendor
bull Oversight and management of the sub-servicer is still required
In House Servicing
bull Requires scale to obtain any efficiencies
bull Requires hiring and maintaining staff along with the on-going compliance
bull Greater ability to control costs if efficiencies and scale is achieved and maintained
bull Borrower experience is controlled and often results in great ability to maintain the relationship (higher cross sell and retention)
bull Full control of late fees and escrows
CoverPage-SubTitle - CoverPage-Title
MSR Valuation amp AccountingMSR Valuation and Accounting is unique and requires additional specific knowledge and expertise Management must understand the MSR asset and the unique challenges and opportunities it creates
bull MSRs are initially capitalized at fair value (represented the net present value of the servicing revenue less expenses adjusted for prepayment speeds)
bull Once capitalized prospectively a company can elect either fair value or lower of cost or market accounting
bull Fair value is an irrevocable election
bull Fair value results in changes of the MSR asset value immediately slowing thru the income statement
bull Majority of large money center have chosen fair value accounting and hedge their MSR portfolios

Cash and Capital RequirementsThe decision to retain servicing requires the entity to maintain certain capital (cash) and also defers the immediate ability to turn the servicing into cash
bull FHFA has established minimum capital requirements that must be maintained
bull Portfolios will a high level of delinquencies are subject to maintain additional capital
bull Banks are subject to the capital requirement established by BASEL III
bull Changes to the BASEL III limits are in process of being finalized
bull Non Banks must evaluate the amount of their net worth that is tied up in the MSR asset
bull Warehouse lenders and mortgage guarantors monitor the MSR to net worth calculation
MSR Market
The MSR market is made up two distinct types of transactions
bull Co ndash Issue
bull Entering into a relationship with an MSR buyer to sell future production
bull Complex grid based approach
bull Originator often does not collect any payments and sells the MSR as soon as the loan is sold to guarantor (Fannie Freddie or GNMA)
bull Bulk
bull Servicing operational function is performed for a period of time (could be performed by a subservicer)
bull Servicing data is known at time of marketing selling bulk
bull MSR transactions take time to complete (often 90 days)
Profile of Recent MSR SellersA number of ldquoheadlinerdquo deals have occurred in 2017 however these attention grabbing transactions are not representative of the typical MSR transaction
bull Banks electing to reduce eliminate their mortgage operations (ldquoCitirdquo)
bull Capital One exits the mortgage origination business (and is evaluating its servicing portfolio)
bull MSR Investors (Non Banks) looking to reduce eliminate their MSR holdings (ldquoPHHrdquo ldquoSenecardquo)
bull Independent Mortgage Bankers looking to monetize a portion of their servicing assets for cash
bull A large number of IMBs elected to retain servicing in recent years and are now looking to reduce their percentage of net worth tied up in the MSR asset
bull Ownership of the MSR asset in the past several years has created income volatility as a result of rates
bull Banks that had a potential or perceived BASEL III Issue (first half of 2017)
bull Aggregators (either MSR buyers or Correspondent aggregators) who periodically want to test ldquothe liquidity of their investmentrdquo
bull Non Banks looking to monetize and liquidate their servicing and redeploy the cash
57
Profile of Recent MSR BuyersA wide variety of MSR buyers exists currently compared to 15 years ago the space was dominated by Banks
bull Large private equity firms
bull Tend to only purchase very large ($5 billion or larger deals)
bull Regional Banks with servicing platforms
bull Only buy clean Fannie Freddie servicing typically in $500 million to $10 billion portfolio size
bull Some only buy bulk deals others participate in the co-issue
bull Often have strict requirements in terms of counterparty geography etc
bull In 2017 six regional super regionals banks participated in the bulk market
bull MSR Investment Vehicles REITs
bull Still active but since 2014 have become more selective in deals (and product)
bull Consolidation partnering increased in 2017 (PingoraLakeview)
bull Smaller regional servicers (mostly banks) that have servicing operations
bull Deal size is often under $750 million and typically do not buy Ginnie Mae servicing

BASEL III Update Today [November 21 2017] the Federal banking regulators finalized the pause on Basel III implementation to allow banks that are not subject to Basel IIIs advanced approaches to extend the current regulatory capital treatment of mortgage servicing assets (MSAs) Advanced approaches banking organizations (those with over $250 billion in assets or more than $10 billion in foreign exposure) are required to apply the capital rulesrsquo fully phased-in treatment for these capital items beginning January 1 2018
For example the transitions NPR [now finalized] would require a non-advanced approaches banking organization with an amount of MSAs above the 10 percent common equity tier 1 capital deduction threshold in the capital rules to deduct from common equity tier 1 capital 80 percent of the amount of MSAs above this threshold and to apply a 100 percent risk weight to the MSAs that are not deducted from common equity tier 1 capital including the MSAs that otherwise would be deducted but for the transition provisions

Subservicing versus Servicing in house
Subservicing model
bull Immediate access to experienced servicing operations
bull Outsources maintenance and compliance
bull Per unit based fee structure along with specific activity based fees including boarding and de-boarding
bull Borrower experience (communication) is being done by a vendor
bull Oversight and management of the sub-servicer is still required
In House Servicing
bull Requires scale to obtain any efficiencies
bull Requires hiring and maintaining staff along with the on-going compliance
bull Greater ability to control costs if efficiencies and scale is achieved and maintained
bull Borrower experience is controlled and often results in great ability to maintain the relationship (higher cross sell and retention)
bull Full control of late fees and escrows
CoverPage-SubTitle - CoverPage-Title
MSR Valuation amp AccountingMSR Valuation and Accounting is unique and requires additional specific knowledge and expertise Management must understand the MSR asset and the unique challenges and opportunities it creates
bull MSRs are initially capitalized at fair value (represented the net present value of the servicing revenue less expenses adjusted for prepayment speeds)
bull Once capitalized prospectively a company can elect either fair value or lower of cost or market accounting
bull Fair value is an irrevocable election
bull Fair value results in changes of the MSR asset value immediately slowing thru the income statement
bull Majority of large money center have chosen fair value accounting and hedge their MSR portfolios
bull Management reporting and understanding the potential risks of the MSR is critical

BASEL III Update Today [November 21 2017] the Federal banking regulators finalized the pause on Basel III implementation to allow banks that are not subject to Basel IIIs advanced approaches to extend the current regulatory capital treatment of mortgage servicing assets (MSAs) Advanced approaches banking organizations (those with over $250 billion in assets or more than $10 billion in foreign exposure) are required to apply the capital rulesrsquo fully phased-in treatment for these capital items beginning January 1 2018
For example the transitions NPR [now finalized] would require a non-advanced approaches banking organization with an amount of MSAs above the 10 percent common equity tier 1 capital deduction threshold in the capital rules to deduct from common equity tier 1 capital 80 percent of the amount of MSAs above this threshold and to apply a 100 percent risk weight to the MSAs that are not deducted from common equity tier 1 capital including the MSAs that otherwise would be deducted but for the transition provisions

Subservicing versus Servicing in house
Subservicing model
bull Immediate access to experienced servicing operations
bull Outsources maintenance and compliance
bull Per unit based fee structure along with specific activity based fees including boarding and de-boarding
bull Borrower experience (communication) is being done by a vendor
bull Oversight and management of the sub-servicer is still required
In House Servicing
bull Requires scale to obtain any efficiencies
bull Requires hiring and maintaining staff along with the on-going compliance
bull Greater ability to control costs if efficiencies and scale is achieved and maintained
bull Borrower experience is controlled and often results in great ability to maintain the relationship (higher cross sell and retention)
bull Full control of late fees and escrows
CoverPage-SubTitle - CoverPage-Title
MSR Valuation amp AccountingMSR Valuation and Accounting is unique and requires additional specific knowledge and expertise Management must understand the MSR asset and the unique challenges and opportunities it creates
bull MSRs are initially capitalized at fair value (represented the net present value of the servicing revenue less expenses adjusted for prepayment speeds)
bull Once capitalized prospectively a company can elect either fair value or lower of cost or market accounting
bull Fair value is an irrevocable election
bull Fair value results in changes of the MSR asset value immediately slowing thru the income statement
bull Majority of large money center have chosen fair value accounting and hedge their MSR portfolios
bull Management reporting and understanding the potential risks of the MSR is critical

BASEL III Update Today [November 21 2017] the Federal banking regulators finalized the pause on Basel III implementation to allow banks that are not subject to Basel IIIs advanced approaches to extend the current regulatory capital treatment of mortgage servicing assets (MSAs) Advanced approaches banking organizations (those with over $250 billion in assets or more than $10 billion in foreign exposure) are required to apply the capital rulesrsquo fully phased-in treatment for these capital items beginning January 1 2018
For example the transitions NPR [now finalized] would require a non-advanced approaches banking organization with an amount of MSAs above the 10 percent common equity tier 1 capital deduction threshold in the capital rules to deduct from common equity tier 1 capital 80 percent of the amount of MSAs above this threshold and to apply a 100 percent risk weight to the MSAs that are not deducted from common equity tier 1 capital including the MSAs that otherwise would be deducted but for the transition provisions

BASEL III Update Today [November 21 2017] the Federal banking regulators finalized the pause on Basel III implementation to allow banks that are not subject to Basel IIIs advanced approaches to extend the current regulatory capital treatment of mortgage servicing assets (MSAs) Advanced approaches banking organizations (those with over $250 billion in assets or more than $10 billion in foreign exposure) are required to apply the capital rulesrsquo fully phased-in treatment for these capital items beginning January 1 2018
For example the transitions NPR [now finalized] would require a non-advanced approaches banking organization with an amount of MSAs above the 10 percent common equity tier 1 capital deduction threshold in the capital rules to deduct from common equity tier 1 capital 80 percent of the amount of MSAs above this threshold and to apply a 100 percent risk weight to the MSAs that are not deducted from common equity tier 1 capital including the MSAs that otherwise would be deducted but for the transition provisions

Subservicing versus Servicing in house
Subservicing model
bull Immediate access to experienced servicing operations
bull Outsources maintenance and compliance
bull Per unit based fee structure along with specific activity based fees including boarding and de-boarding
bull Borrower experience (communication) is being done by a vendor
bull Oversight and management of the sub-servicer is still required
In House Servicing
bull Requires scale to obtain any efficiencies
bull Requires hiring and maintaining staff along with the on-going compliance
bull Greater ability to control costs if efficiencies and scale is achieved and maintained
bull Borrower experience is controlled and often results in great ability to maintain the relationship (higher cross sell and retention)

Cash and Capital RequirementsThe decision to retain servicing requires the entity to maintain certain capital (cash) and also defers the immediate ability to turn the servicing into cash
bull FHFA has established minimum capital requirements that must be maintained
bull Portfolios will a high level of delinquencies are subject to maintain additional capital
bull Banks are subject to the capital requirement established by BASEL III
bull Changes to the BASEL III limits are in process of being finalized
bull Non Banks must evaluate the amount of their net worth that is tied up in the MSR asset
bull Warehouse lenders and mortgage guarantors monitor the MSR to net worth calculation
MSR Market
The MSR market is made up two distinct types of transactions
bull Co ndash Issue
bull Entering into a relationship with an MSR buyer to sell future production
bull Complex grid based approach
bull Originator often does not collect any payments and sells the MSR as soon as the loan is sold to guarantor (Fannie Freddie or GNMA)
bull Bulk
bull Servicing operational function is performed for a period of time (could be performed by a subservicer)
bull Servicing data is known at time of marketing selling bulk
bull MSR transactions take time to complete (often 90 days)
Profile of Recent MSR SellersA number of ldquoheadlinerdquo deals have occurred in 2017 however these attention grabbing transactions are not representative of the typical MSR transaction
bull Banks electing to reduce eliminate their mortgage operations (ldquoCitirdquo)
bull Capital One exits the mortgage origination business (and is evaluating its servicing portfolio)
bull MSR Investors (Non Banks) looking to reduce eliminate their MSR holdings (ldquoPHHrdquo ldquoSenecardquo)
bull Independent Mortgage Bankers looking to monetize a portion of their servicing assets for cash
bull A large number of IMBs elected to retain servicing in recent years and are now looking to reduce their percentage of net worth tied up in the MSR asset
bull Ownership of the MSR asset in the past several years has created income volatility as a result of rates
bull Banks that had a potential or perceived BASEL III Issue (first half of 2017)
bull Aggregators (either MSR buyers or Correspondent aggregators) who periodically want to test ldquothe liquidity of their investmentrdquo
bull Non Banks looking to monetize and liquidate their servicing and redeploy the cash
57
Profile of Recent MSR BuyersA wide variety of MSR buyers exists currently compared to 15 years ago the space was dominated by Banks
bull Large private equity firms
bull Tend to only purchase very large ($5 billion or larger deals)
bull Regional Banks with servicing platforms
bull Only buy clean Fannie Freddie servicing typically in $500 million to $10 billion portfolio size
bull Some only buy bulk deals others participate in the co-issue
bull Often have strict requirements in terms of counterparty geography etc
bull In 2017 six regional super regionals banks participated in the bulk market
bull MSR Investment Vehicles REITs
bull Still active but since 2014 have become more selective in deals (and product)
bull Consolidation partnering increased in 2017 (PingoraLakeview)
bull Smaller regional servicers (mostly banks) that have servicing operations
bull Deal size is often under $750 million and typically do not buy Ginnie Mae servicing

BASEL III Update Today [November 21 2017] the Federal banking regulators finalized the pause on Basel III implementation to allow banks that are not subject to Basel IIIs advanced approaches to extend the current regulatory capital treatment of mortgage servicing assets (MSAs) Advanced approaches banking organizations (those with over $250 billion in assets or more than $10 billion in foreign exposure) are required to apply the capital rulesrsquo fully phased-in treatment for these capital items beginning January 1 2018
For example the transitions NPR [now finalized] would require a non-advanced approaches banking organization with an amount of MSAs above the 10 percent common equity tier 1 capital deduction threshold in the capital rules to deduct from common equity tier 1 capital 80 percent of the amount of MSAs above this threshold and to apply a 100 percent risk weight to the MSAs that are not deducted from common equity tier 1 capital including the MSAs that otherwise would be deducted but for the transition provisions

Subservicing versus Servicing in house
Subservicing model
bull Immediate access to experienced servicing operations
bull Outsources maintenance and compliance
bull Per unit based fee structure along with specific activity based fees including boarding and de-boarding
bull Borrower experience (communication) is being done by a vendor
bull Oversight and management of the sub-servicer is still required
In House Servicing
bull Requires scale to obtain any efficiencies
bull Requires hiring and maintaining staff along with the on-going compliance
bull Greater ability to control costs if efficiencies and scale is achieved and maintained
bull Borrower experience is controlled and often results in great ability to maintain the relationship (higher cross sell and retention)
bull Full control of late fees and escrows
CoverPage-SubTitle - CoverPage-Title
MSR Valuation amp AccountingMSR Valuation and Accounting is unique and requires additional specific knowledge and expertise Management must understand the MSR asset and the unique challenges and opportunities it creates
bull MSRs are initially capitalized at fair value (represented the net present value of the servicing revenue less expenses adjusted for prepayment speeds)
bull Once capitalized prospectively a company can elect either fair value or lower of cost or market accounting
bull Fair value is an irrevocable election
bull Fair value results in changes of the MSR asset value immediately slowing thru the income statement
bull Majority of large money center have chosen fair value accounting and hedge their MSR portfolios
bull Management reporting and understanding the potential risks of the MSR is critical

MSR Valuation amp AccountingMSR Valuation and Accounting is unique and requires additional specific knowledge and expertise Management must understand the MSR asset and the unique challenges and opportunities it creates
bull MSRs are initially capitalized at fair value (represented the net present value of the servicing revenue less expenses adjusted for prepayment speeds)
bull Once capitalized prospectively a company can elect either fair value or lower of cost or market accounting
bull Fair value is an irrevocable election
bull Fair value results in changes of the MSR asset value immediately slowing thru the income statement
bull Majority of large money center have chosen fair value accounting and hedge their MSR portfolios
bull Management reporting and understanding the potential risks of the MSR is critical

Cash and Capital RequirementsThe decision to retain servicing requires the entity to maintain certain capital (cash) and also defers the immediate ability to turn the servicing into cash
bull FHFA has established minimum capital requirements that must be maintained
bull Portfolios will a high level of delinquencies are subject to maintain additional capital
bull Banks are subject to the capital requirement established by BASEL III
bull Changes to the BASEL III limits are in process of being finalized
bull Non Banks must evaluate the amount of their net worth that is tied up in the MSR asset
bull Warehouse lenders and mortgage guarantors monitor the MSR to net worth calculation
MSR Market
The MSR market is made up two distinct types of transactions
bull Co ndash Issue
bull Entering into a relationship with an MSR buyer to sell future production
bull Complex grid based approach
bull Originator often does not collect any payments and sells the MSR as soon as the loan is sold to guarantor (Fannie Freddie or GNMA)
bull Bulk
bull Servicing operational function is performed for a period of time (could be performed by a subservicer)
bull Servicing data is known at time of marketing selling bulk
bull MSR transactions take time to complete (often 90 days)
Profile of Recent MSR SellersA number of ldquoheadlinerdquo deals have occurred in 2017 however these attention grabbing transactions are not representative of the typical MSR transaction
bull Banks electing to reduce eliminate their mortgage operations (ldquoCitirdquo)
bull Capital One exits the mortgage origination business (and is evaluating its servicing portfolio)
bull MSR Investors (Non Banks) looking to reduce eliminate their MSR holdings (ldquoPHHrdquo ldquoSenecardquo)
bull Independent Mortgage Bankers looking to monetize a portion of their servicing assets for cash
bull A large number of IMBs elected to retain servicing in recent years and are now looking to reduce their percentage of net worth tied up in the MSR asset
bull Ownership of the MSR asset in the past several years has created income volatility as a result of rates
bull Banks that had a potential or perceived BASEL III Issue (first half of 2017)
bull Aggregators (either MSR buyers or Correspondent aggregators) who periodically want to test ldquothe liquidity of their investmentrdquo
bull Non Banks looking to monetize and liquidate their servicing and redeploy the cash
57
Profile of Recent MSR BuyersA wide variety of MSR buyers exists currently compared to 15 years ago the space was dominated by Banks
bull Large private equity firms
bull Tend to only purchase very large ($5 billion or larger deals)
bull Regional Banks with servicing platforms
bull Only buy clean Fannie Freddie servicing typically in $500 million to $10 billion portfolio size
bull Some only buy bulk deals others participate in the co-issue
bull Often have strict requirements in terms of counterparty geography etc
bull In 2017 six regional super regionals banks participated in the bulk market
bull MSR Investment Vehicles REITs
