What a difference a quarter makes. With FAR’s acquisition of AAG, and RMF’s bankruptcy, FAR is now the lead HMBS issuer with $629 million issued and a commanding 42.7% market share. Longbridge is second, with $313.4 million issued and 21.3% market share, PHH is third with $231.2 million issued and 15.7% market share, and Mutual of Omaha is fourth with $155.4 million issued and 10.6% market share. The Top Four – formerly the Top Five – issuers account for 90% of all HMBS issuance.
2023Q1 saw $1.472 billion of HMBS issued, a run rate of less than $6 billion for calendar year 2023, what would be just 42% of 2022’s nearly $14 billion record issuance tally. There were only nine HMBS issuers during the quarter, the lowest issuer count since the earliest days of the program.
