Chase is set to issue a $750 million deal while Chimera is planning a $362 million MBS. Both securities are stocked with jumbos along with mortgages eligible for sale to the GSEs.
Wells Fargo is maintaining its steady issuance of prime non-agency MBS while a pending deal from Neuberger Berman is much larger than the expanded-credit MBS the firm issued in May.

After issuance ground to a halt in March, five non-QM MBS deals came to the market in May and more are on the way. Transactions have been stocked with slightly seasoned mortgages.
A $335 million deal from Goldman Sachs is the first prime non-agency MBS in the market since mid-March. The transaction includes mortgages originated in the past few months.
A coalition of industry trade groups asked the SEC to revise standards for publicly registered non-agency MBS. They suggested aligning standards with practices for private placements.
