Paul’s Tip of the Week
Agile Pooling Functionality

Published 11/1/21

MCT is now the first company to be able to leverage the pooling functionality powered by Agile Trading Technologies. Agile, the new way to quote MBS, is bringing mortgage lenders and broker dealers on to a single electronic platform. Agile overturns manual processes to unlock the potential of an electronic marketplace, digitizing the historically phone-based communication process to support both TBA trading and MBS pooling.

“Both loans and hedges are allocated within seconds,” says Andrew Rhodes, MCT’s Director of Trading. “No more spending time allocating loans to a trade and then processing trades done on swap.” Because Agile is browser-based, lenders can request trades from any device, anywhere.

Benefits of Pooling Functionality:

  • Streamlines the bidding process, taking it out of an Excel workbook
  • Consolidates all dealer bids, taking manual entry out of the equation for the BWIC analysis…saving time
  • Automatic Assignments for trades are done on swap with non-winning dealers…this leverages the BAM automation for tri-party creation
  • Open to all dealers…doesn’t exclude any dealers in the bidding process
  • Built for lenders of all sizes issuing MBS pools
  • Adjusts coverage at time of confirmation.
