Subject to certain exceptions, the rules prohibit the sponsor from hedging or transferring this retained interest. Risk retention is complex and capital intensive. To wit: For securities backed entirely by residential mortgages, the prohibitions on transfer or sale without the requisite risk retention would expire: 1 the later of a five years after the date of closing or b the date on which the unpaid principal balance UPB of the mortgages in the pool have been reduced to 25 percent of the UPB at closing, but 2 in no event later than seven years after the transaction closes.
Small-to-middle market originators are simply not capitalized nor do they typically have the expertise to retain and manage such risk. A cooperative model provides a solution for smaller lenders, without which the small-to-middle market would be effectively shut out of the ABS market. A cooperative of lenders may hold and manage the 5 percent risk share, providing direct access to the issuance of non-QM ABS for cooperative members. Few parties except for real estate investment trusts REITs , certain hedge funds with long lives, and depository institutions will be able to hold such retained risk.
Therefore, without a bridge of capital and expertise between originators and those willing to retain risk, parties will have an enormous incentive to originate loans that meet the criteria of a QRM. Despite these significant complications, a niche market of non-QMs is likely to emerge, arising from the unfilled product needs of the residential mortgage markets with hedge funds, certain banks, and REITs leading the way.
The cooperative model can form a bridge between these niche market investors and the middle market. The development of the non-QM market is happening very slowly, and has not reached any meaningful scale. The primary problem with the market currently, which will not be changed by risk retention, is selling the AAAs, which on a percentage basis of the aggregate pool of mortgage loans, including non-QM and non-QRM mortgage loans, are expected to be in the 90 percent range.
A near-term step towards risk retention may be up-front risk sharing on agency originations. Up-front risk sharing allows lenders to secure deeper credit enhancement in exchange for lower Guaranty Fees and Loan Level Price Adjustments. A cooperative can facilitate and consolidate small-lender execution options, and extend equal access to lenders of all sizes. GSEs have always been significant players in the mortgage industry; however, post financial crisis, the GSEs have played a more influential role given the lack of non-agency mortgage credit available.
