Official Statements
Bill Greenberg, Two Harbors’ President, and CEO said that following the mortgage spreads at record lows, the Agency + MSR approach, with its lower mortgage spread exposure, is particularly appealing. Also mentioned that they continue to boost leverage and invest surplus capital at more favorable levels as spreads normalize. Meanwhile, TWO remains committed to expanding their MSR portfolio and have increased their funding resources to do so.
Also, Matt Koeppen, Two Harbors’ Chief Investment Officer stated that despite high refinance prices, they expanded the MSR portfolio, demonstrating the platform’s power. In a higher-rate setting, the MSR industry remains stable, and success should be well-supported. They hope to continue to source new servicing at competitive rates across flow and bulk networks.
