#1 Mortgage Servicing Rights (MSRs)


The big picture: Banks are getting out of the mortgage

servicing business Specialty servicers taking the slack (Ocwen, Walter, etc.) Im not recommending a servicer

First, How MSRs Work


Servicer earns a fee based on the unpaid principal

balance (UPB)
Basic servicing fee Excess servicing fee

Contractual flows with interesting properties

Cherry Hill Mortgage Inv Corp. (CHMI)


Unique mortgage REIT that co-invests in MSRs with

partner Freedom Mortgage Corp.


Freedom started in 1990 by Stanley Middleman; $13 billion in originations in 2012: $10 billion in first half of 2013 Paid most of CHMIs listing fees (went public in October) Stock is $19 7.5 mil shares outstanding Quarterly dividend is 50 cents for 10.5% yield Book is $21.50 (up 8.6% since IPO)

After IPO
Agency MBS (65% of assets); Excess MSRs (25% of

assets), but majority of equity (68%) in Excess MSRs. Bought 2 pools of Excess MSRs

Excess MSRs also helps protect book value against

interest rate increases. (Hence, that 8.6% gain)

Cherry Hill
Comps?
HLSS (not a REIT, focuses on subprime) co-invests with Ocwen, trades ~1.3x book NRZ co-invests in excess MSRs with Nationstar (but lots of other assets too), trades for ~1.3 times book

Upside for Cherry Hill


Stock is $19, book value is $21.5, plus you get that 11% yield.
