Overview

About Bayview Asset Management, LLC

Bayview Asset Management, LLC ("Bayview"), initially founded in 1993, is an investment management firm focused on investments in mortgage and consumer credit, including whole loans, asset backed securities, mortgage servicing rights, and other credit-related assets.

About MSR Portfolio Management

The Bayview Mortgage Servicing Rights ("MSR") Fund along with its wholly owned subsidiary Lakeview Loan Servicing ("Lakeview") is the largest of Bayview's funds. Lakeview is the top servicer of agency MSRs in the United States and actively sources new MSRs across its origination platform and bulk and co-issue MSR businesses.

MSRs are essentially interest-only (IO) cash flow strips on underlying pools of mortgages. Like IOs on any other callable bond, MSRs are susceptible to prepayment and credit risk. Yet it is so much more than that - the MSR owner is entitled to many different income and expense cash flows. On a single MSR asset, we model and monitor over 60 types of cash flows.

Since late 2024, the MSR fund has launched a new initiative to actively source Agency MBS as a strategic hedge for the MSR portfolio. As a result, we have become an active participant in the MBS trading community.
