A growing number of institutions are choosing to retain their mortgage servicing rights (MSRs) rather than release their servicing when they sell loans in the secondary market.
ALM First Analytics provides a rigorous process for valuing the MSRs of your financial institution. This enables you to make well-informed risk management decisions utilizing our sophisticated in-depth analyses and reporting of expected performance under different rate scenarios.

Changes in the valuation of mortgage servicing rights depend upon the growth in the mortgage portfolio along with any notable market swings. Fluctuations in prepayment speeds and the weighted average discount rate, along with movements in the weighted average life of the portfolio, lead to differences month-over-month. An institution’s servicing fees and servicing costs also play a large role in the calculations.
