Keynote

Bill Bymel is on the front lines of the secondary mortgage market every day as his PE Funds trade approximately $100 million per year in whole loan investments. When stocks markets plummeted for a few weeks in March, we saw a liquidity freeze in capital markets that may be a foreshadow of the turbulent times ahead. Bill will share his eye witness accounts of what's going on in the mortgage lending and securitization world, what he forsees in the months ahead, and how his company is working with investors to take advantage of opportunities in NPL.

  • The Last Decade of Deleveraging Didn't Quite Work Out That Way
  • Credit Markets signalled US was heading for another financial crisis in March
  • The Federal Reserve stepped in as liquidity provider of last resort
  • Dramatic Rise in Forced Liquidations of NPL over the past 90 days
  • September will provide first indications of defaults on the rise
  • Spurs NPL Strategy is Wall Street meet Main Street
