“This program will facilitate much-needed liquidity for issuers while improving the stability of the government-backed reverse mortgage market,” said Sam Valverde, Ginnie’s acting president.
Tom Rettinger, chief portfolio risk officer at CrossCountry Mortgage, noted that prepayment models were built for a more balanced interest rate environment.
The initial offering size was $378 million, but Rithm said the deal was increased due to "demand for the securitization's unique structure and underlying asset portfolio."
