Product Details

In today's competitive mortgage marketplace, being able to sell loans is essential for growing your lending business. At this must-attend event for jumbo and Alt A players you’ll find out what the secondary market is willing – and not willing – to accept when it comes to non-conforming mortgage collateral. We have speakers from every part of the industry to help you position your business, including:

• Norman Frey, SVP Asset/Liability Manager, Impac Funding Corporation, will give his views on packaging loans for sale in the non-agency MBS market;
• Tom Zimmerman, Head of Asset-Backed Securities Research, UBS Warburg, will discuss Wall Street’s perspective on the securitization of non-conforming loan products;

• John Bancroft, Executive Editor, Inside Mortgage Finance Publications, Inc., will provide a detailed look at the non-agency MBS market in 2007 with exclusive statistics on non-agency MBS production by collateral type and loan characteristics.

This panel of experts will give you insight into the kinds of loans investors are buying and avoiding in the non-conforming market. You will get a variety of perspectives and you will be able to get answers to your questions when we open the phone lines for live Q&A from the audience. You also can send in your questions via e-mail ahead of time or during the conference.
