Products and Services

• Mortgage-Backed Securities (MBS)

These are investments that are secured by mortgages. They allow investors to benefit from repayments on these mortgages. This category includes both mortgage pass-through securities, where mortgage payments are passed through to investors, and collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs), which are structured into different risk classes.

• Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities (CMBS)

This involves debt securities backed by mortgages on commercial properties. CMBS allows investors to invest in the commercial real estate market indirectly, with risk and rewards tied to the repayment of these commercial mortgages.

• "To Be Announced" (TBA) Securities

A standard of trade in mortgage-backed securities where the specifics of the securities to be delivered are not specified until shortly before the trade settlement. This category is characterized by its liquidity and the way it standardizes MBS trades, making it easier for investors to access the market.

• Mortgage Dollar Rolls

An agreement to sell securities at a price and to buy them back later at a lower price. This strategic financial product allows investors to benefit from temporary trades, exploiting the pricing differences over short periods.
