Dodd-Frank Context for Hedging (from Hedger’s Perspective) • Interpretation/Best Practices in Flux • Rate Sheet (and Technology) Considerations • Pullthrough (and Analytics) Considerations • Performance Measurement Considerations
Rate Sheet Considerations • Secondary Creates Client-Facing Rate Sheet w/Originator’s Margins • Lender’s Margins may Vary (e.g. Brokers, Branches, LO’s) • Need Same Originator Profit Margin by Product/Terms • Borrower or Lender (not both) pay Originator • Brokers Must Show Borrowers Multiple Lenders/Options • Opportunity to Centralize Locking?
Pullthrough Considerations • Operational: • Originator Proof of Compliance (as required by investor) • Initial Transition Hiccups • Different Pullthrough by Different Originator Profit Margin? • See Example • Impact on Renegotiation Process/Frequency? • “Change in Terms cannot benefit originator…” • Historical Pullthrough/Performance Drives Varying Originator Margins
Pullthrough/Originator Profit Margin Example • Wholesale Lender ABC buys (locks) loans from Brokers A & B: • Lender ABC will buy a FN30 4.625% Note Rate at 101.50 which includes a profit margin for ABC of 1.00%. • Assume ABC requires same profit margin for Brokers A & B. • Broker A has requested rate sheets/pricing from ABC that includes a profit margin for Broker A at 1.5%. • Broker B has requested rate sheets/pricing from ABC that includes a profit margin for Broker A at 1.25%. • Broker LO’s provide pricing to borrower(s): • Broker A offers 4.625% @ par (100.00) • Broker B offers 4.625% @ .25 rebate to borrower (100.25) • Should Broker A lock have lower pullthrough than Broker B lock? • Yes - Broker A offers worse terms than Broker B • No – Pullthrough driven more by originator performance
Performance Measurement Considerations • Originator Performance Measurement Has Always Been Critical for Hedgers: • Hedging Value Proposition: • Mandatory-BE Price Spread • - Hedge Cost • = Net Hedging Gains • Hedge Cost is a Function of Pullthrough (Originator) Performance • Originators Profitability: • Realized Profit Margins on Closed Loans • - Hedge Cost on Unclosed and Closed Loans • = Net Originator Profitability • With new Regs, Performance Measurement Becomes Even More Important: • Support for Varying Originator Margins • Ongoing Support for Originator Margin Changes
Hedger’s Checklist • Pricing/Technology to Facilitate Rate Sheet Pricing: • Mandatory Pricing • Ability to Respond Quickly to Market and to Post Pricing to Pricing Engine • Ability to Vary Lender Margins (by Originator) • Ability to Implement Originators Desired Profit Margin • Pullthrough Capabilities: • Pullthrough by Originator • Establish Appropriate Secondary Cost • Historical Hedge Cost/Pullthrough Monitoring/Measurement • Policies/Practices to Review & Update Lender Originator Margins • Outstanding Topics to Monitor: • Loan Attribute-Based Lender Margin Adjustments? • Investor’s Interpretations
