THE DYNAMICS OF AGENCY CREDIT RISK AND IMPLIED G-FEE: A 2019 EDITION

Alex Levin
WORK WITH A THOUGHT LEADER IN CRT

At AD&Co, we were instrumental in the creation of Structured Agency Credit Risk (STACR) from Freddie Mac and Connecticut Avenue Securities (CAS) from Fannie Mae, two risk-sharing transactions that brought together issuers, investors, policy makers, regulators and others. Now that credit risk-sharing has surpassed the $3 trillion threshold as an asset class, we continue to be at the forefront of anticipating how risk-sharing programs will evolve.

We understand the credit risk options originators face and the relative value of Credit Risk Transfer (CRT) in the bond sector from a buy-side perspective. We also understand mortgage insurance (MI), as well as the evolution of Agency Credit Insurance Structures (ACIS) and Credit Insurance Risk Transfer (CIRT) transactions from a reinsurance point-of-view. In looking at these developments in the composite, we also recognize their impact on the future of Government Sponsored Enterprise (GSE) reform.
