What is Mortgage Risk USA 2007?
Mortgage Finance 2007 is a not-to-be-missed, practitioner-led conference that addresses the key economic and risk-management challenges faced by the mortgage finance industry. The current economic climate has led to several important shifts in mortgage finance, including the increasing popularity of alternative-mortgage products and the resulting higher risk of defaults, and the devastation in the sub-prime sector.This event will address the needs of these industry professionals by delivering strategic information on how to manage the changing nature of managing mortgage portfolio risk, including structuring and investing in MBS, hedging mortgage servicing rights, building prepayment models that accurately capture the risk of newer alternative-mortgage products, and more.Unique conference highlights include:
- An assessment of the fallout in subprime lending and an analysis of the lessons learned
- A look at the correlation between interest-rate movements and prepayment levels
- Examination of effective strategies for hedging mortgage servicing rights
- Analysis of the effect of servicing on the mortgage portfolio
