Reverse Mortgages and Linked Securities

An institutional investor's guide to reverse mortgage securitization

Many seniors have lost their nest eggs during the most recent economic crisis and are looking to supplement their retirement savings by extracting equity from their homes by way of reverse mortgages. With contributions from many of the leading minds in the Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM) industry, Reverse Mortgages and Linked Securities offers specific strategies that will help institutional investors to benefit from the resurgence of reverse mortgages and linked securities. It discusses the securitization of reverse mortgages and other linked securities and includes coverage of pricing techniques and risk mitigation. This reliable resource also takes the time to cover the current regulatory environment of the HECM market, which is constantly changing due to the current state of the real estate market.

Over the next five to ten years, the reverse mortgage will play an increasingly important role in the market for structured financial products, and a strong understanding of it on the part of financial services firms will be vital to compete in the modern marketplace. Reverse Mortgages and Linked Securities provides institutional investors with a solid foundation for understanding the mechanics of the reverse mortgage transaction.
