MCT’s Enhanced-Best-Execution (EBX) tool is the most comprehensive tool on the market for helping secondary market (MSR portfolio) managers determine which loans to retain or release. Recently, MCT announced it has automated the data reconciliation process to seamlessly transfer (via API) information between MCTlive! (Hedging Platform) and MSRlive! (MSR Platform).
EBX acts as a “real-time” bridge between MCTlive! (live whole loan/SRP execution) and MSRlive! (loan level MSR valuation). With this tool, MCT clients have accurate insight into how loans are trading and what investors are paying along with the intrinsic servicing value to enhance the retained vs. released decisioning process. What was once a manual and time consuming exercise is now completely automated with EBX, making all of the essential execution data elements accessible with the click of a button.

Features of MSR Retain-Release Decisions with EBX
The EBX Tool enables clients to make loan level strategic decisions regarding their servicing portfolio using their internal data, while new automation quickly pulls critical execution information for informed decision making. Clients using this tool gain valuable insight into retain vs. release decisions that:
- Are precisely calibrated to your internal costs and yield requirements.
- Adjust cash impact for MSR financing transactions.
- Adjust for the cash impact of a transaction by:
- Reflecting tax advantages of retention vs. release.
- Identifying client specific cash breakeven month required for retention.
- Showing actual gain/loss in cash from different retention strategies or decisions specific to individual loans.
“The automation of our EBX functionality is instrumental to ensuring our clients can quickly make the most informed and strategic retain-release decisions, especially critical during times of market volatility.” – Bill Shirreffs, Head of MSR Services, MCT
Leveraging EBX For Retain-Release Decisions
Reviewing your MSR portfolio has never been easier with EBX! Simply click on the MSR – Best Ex (EBX) button within MCTlive! to get started. Users can leverage EBX to make the following decisions:
- A client is able to set their specific desired cash flow breakeven month then EBX will then determine which loans to retain and in addition to the overall cash impact.
- The economic value, while important, does not take into account the tax effect of selling released (SRP) or the cash advantages provided by financing. MCT’s EBX is able to also factor these into the analysis.
- If the client felt better about their cash position and current balance sheet liquidity, they could also extend the number of months to breakeven and retain additional servicing.
