This year’s agenda features educational tracks addressing mortgage origination, issuer and investor risk management, research and modeling, loan quality, servicing and regulatory issues. Monday’s general session presentation will provide a mid-year economic forecast by Frank Nothaft, chief economist of Freddie Mac, and David Berson, chief economist for The PMI Group, while Tuesday’s general session will feature noted issuers and investors exchanging their views on current market conditions. Track Sessions will discuss the following industry topics:
- The liquidity crisis and the confidence factor.
- Housing prices: With many areas experiencing double-digit declines, have we seen the bottom?
- Strategies and opportunities: Mark-to-market vs. mark-to-model; loan modifications vs. refinance vs. principal forgiveness.
- Buyside investment strategies: What and where are the value opportunities of short selling vs. long-term investment?
- Practical applications in risk modeling.
- Servicing in the brave new world: How will the mortgage industry evolve?
- Managing distressed assets in a difficult environment—Workout strategies to survive and create opportunity: Forbearance vs. foreclosure vs. principal short sale.
- Due diligence: Before origination, before issuance, before the investment.
- Transparency: What should be required? What you should demand. How transparency of the underlying loan-level collateral influences valuation of the aggregate.
- Fed watch: How will the Federal Reserve Bank’s desire to be more transparent and proactive impact the market?
