Risk Management

Full-Service Mortgage Pipeline Risk Management

The Heart of FHA’s Services is Customized Pipeline Risk Management and Reporting

FHA uses our proprietary software to analyze clients’ mortgage pipelines and provide them with the detailed information necessary to make intelligent and calculated decisions regarding their hedge positions. As part of our risk management services, we will:

• Analyze a client’s mortgage pipeline;
• Generate a daily Mark-to-Market:  a snap-shot in time of what price a client can sell their loans for, net of the hedge;
• Provide a client with a daily “Shock Analysis”, which shows the value change of the overall position if rates were to move sharply and dramatically in either direction;
• Recommend the proper hedge position to neutralize the fallout and interest rate risks presented by a client’s mortgage pipeline;
• Execute transactions with authorized mortgage backed security dealers to mitigate risk on behalf of our client, at their discretion;
• Analyze execution options and sell client’s production to the optimal investor, and;
• Generate daily reports detailing all activity within a client’s position.
