What are Mortgage Servicing Rights (MSR)

  • Mortgage Servicing Rights (MSRs) are contractual rights that give an investor the authority to service a pool of mortgage loans and receive ongoing fees for collecting payments, managing escrow accounts, and handling borrower communication.
  • The MSR investor does not own the mortgage principal or interest payments, but instead, they own the revenue stream tied to servicing of the loans.
  • Asset backed securitizations from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac pay this contractual servicing fee.
  • Consistency and predictability of the fee income stream are similar to a bond or a fixed income investment cash flow.
  • Grander is identifying and purchasing attractively priced and optimized portfolios of MSR’s. Grander is purchasing the MSR fee streams or cash flows.
