The U.S. mortgage and securities markets continue to face wrenching uncertainty, an unpleasant reality that nevertheless offers some real, if completely unprecedented opportunities. The 2009 Symposium Series will focus on what new industry data and state-of-the-art analytics reveal about these opportunities—what they are now and will become over the weeks and months ahead.
The Symposiums agenda will focus on expert presentation and analysis of the latest First American CoreLogic and LoanPerformance real estate, mortgage, and securities data, with data-driven analytics and research that show the most likely future prospects. Topics will vary by location:
- Water Finding its Own Level—What to Look for in 2009
Although the recession will continue for some time, certain indicators can predict likely levels of distress and whether it’s deepening or finding a bottom. By tempering these results with projected government program impacts, we can preview potential mortgage industry scenarios for years to come. With economists Mark Fleming and Sam Khater.
- Distressed-Market Due Diligence
The goal of due diligence is simple: expose hidden risks. But identifying them during a rules-bending crisis—and quickly enough to act—that's not so simple. Byzantine compliance regulations, sinking collateral values, and uncertain credit risk scores compound each other to shield the truth. To overcome this, First American CoreLogic has joined forces with The Bohan Group to create the industry’s first distressed-market due diligence services.
- Transparency Tools for the New Reality
A true “bottom-up” approach to risk assessment is now a baseline requirement for evaluating and pricing assets. Whether your focus is pricing, predictive modeling, or preventing loss, your ability to gauge risk accurately depends now more than ever on the quality of your data and analytics tools. This presentation reviews the state of the art for identifying risk at all stages in the current environment.
- Portfolio Analysis and Valuation – Assessing Risk and Valuing Assets through Transparency Analytics
Today, a true forensics, “bottoms-up” approach is cornerstone to any asset evaluation or portfolio management strategy. Whether your focus is predictive models, pricing, or loss prevention, the ability to leverage loan and property level analytics can provide the market context you need to fully scope your risk exposure. This interactive session will discuss the latest trends and techniques for market and loan-level asset evaluation, portfolio surveillance and monitoring.
- A "Brave New World:" Innovation in the
Practice of AVM and Cascade Testing
The economic and financial distress has increased government awareness of the
use of automated tools within the mortgage finance process. Whether it be an
Automated Valuation Model (AVM) used to pre-qualify a customer, or to
objectively assess the validity of a sale transaction purchase price, the
objective and unbiased nature of AVMs are the characteristics that are appealing
in the current risk averse climate.
- Exposing Mortgage Fraud
As mortgage originators, lenders, and investors struggle to deal successfully with a volatile economy, understanding the latest mortgage frauds can be critical to survival. This session identifies the most damaging frauds emerging right now and the best technologies for catching them during the application, modification, and disposition processes.
- Roundtable: Distressed Asset Disposition, Purchases, the PPIP and Alternative Strategies
Led by industry veteran Dave Hurt, this interactive session will explore the current market and negative dynamics affecting the disposition and acquisition of portfolio assets. Do you hold or fold? At what price? How about timing? See the latest numbers on loan mods, refis, forbearance, forgiveness. What gets the best results—and why?
