MSR 101 Webinar

Lower interest rates have created an opportunity for nearly every borrower to refinance their existing mortgage loan. In this low interest environment, many mortgage originators choose to sell newly originated loans and retain the servicing rights. These activities ensure that lenders remain in contact with borrowers and reduce the risk inherent in holding long-term loans.

When mortgage loans are sold and servicing is retained, accounting rules require periodic valuation of the ensuing stream of income. In this session, you will learn why mortgage servicing rights have value, how we value them and why values have recently become more volatile. The session will also cover trends, model assumptions and our survey of large publicly traded MSR holders.

After attending this session, you’ll have the necessary knowledge to tackle many MSR opportunities and challenges.
