Fitch Publishes Third Edition of U.S. RMBS Servicer Handbook

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Link to Fitch Ratings' Report: U.S. RMBS Servicer Handbook - Third Edition

https://www.fitchratings.com/creditdesk/reports/report_frame.cfm?rpt_id=876069

Fitch Ratings has published its third U.S. RMBS Mortgage Servicer Handbook, which includes quarterly servicer-provided data through September 2015.

Observations from this latest release indicate:

--Servicers continue to be focused on opportunities to maintain scale, including MSR purchases and origination activities.

--Loan originations at First Republic Bank, Homestreet Bank, and Shellpoint Mortgage Servicing contributed toward servicing portfolio growth at these entities.

--Temporary staffing has declined after an earlier build up in response to regulatory change.

--With the exception of BONY Mellon, master-servicing staffing has declined in response to portfolio runoff.

The Handbook continues to provide detailed entity-specific information on most Fitch-rated RMBS servicers, as well as a comprehensive rating and outlook report.

Handbook details include a description of all Fitch-rated RMBS servicers, their current servicer ratings and key rating drivers, portfolio size and key attributes, important trends, links to the full RMBS servicer reports, and Fitch analyst contact information.

The U.S. RMBS Mortgage Servicer Handbook is available at 'www.fitchratings.com' or by clicking the above link.
