9. TBA Market Overview
• To-Be-Announced (TBA) market was created in 1970s to support Ginnie
Mae securitization & financing of government insured loans
– Virtually all government insured mortgages are sold into the TBA market – sold
as part of MBS guaranteed by Ginnie Mae, Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac
• Facilitates forward trading of mortgages (delivery can take over three
months, on average takes two months)
• Enables lenders to lock in rate for loan originations prior to actually
originating loans
• Ginnie Mae has little operational risk through the TBA process.
• TBA securities have U.S. Government guaranty, which facilitates scale of
market & fungibility of securities
• Ginnie Mae TBA provides a reliable and highly utilized conduit to the
market.

12. Overall Industry Context and Trends
• Volume Drop: Conventional and government mortgage lending have
dropped significantly. In the last 9 months, Ginnie Mae’s monthly issuance
volume has dropped from a high of $42 billion per month last June to a low
of less than $23 billion per month in December 2013.
• Implications: Lender/Servicer financial viability issues
• Refi to Purchase Money Mortgage: In contrast to GSEs, Ginnie Mae MBS
have contained a higher percentage of purchase money mortgages. As refi
volume has decreased, Ginnie Mae’s relative market share has increased
from 25% in CY 2012 to 31% in February 2014.
• Changing Issuer Profile: Litigation risk, regulatory risk, reputation risk, and
Basel capital requirements have prompted Depository Institutions to shrink
their servicing operations and through sale of MSRs to rapidly growing Non-
Depository Institutions.
