nd model that currently pervades
the non-agency mortgage origination funnel. If broadly adopted, this structure would extend the
core benefits of TBA mortgage origination ("To Be Announced") to a more fragmented segment
of the current mortgage ecosystem (non-GSEs). Specifically, FIGR's blockchain rails and lending
ecosystem allow for the ability to sell forward production of non-agency mortgages - mitigating
price and liquidity risk. By securing liquidity upfront, FIGR is enabling originators to lock in execution
and pricing before loans are even closed, a dynamic that has historically been limited to agency
markets via Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
What's the Point? - From an economic standpoint, pre-funding introduces meaningful efficiency
gains. By locking in takeout and pricing certainty upfront, originators can materially reduce
hedging costs, warehouse utilization, and capital drag across the origination lifecycle. At scale,
this has the potential to lower the overall cost of origination while stabilizing production pipelines,
particularly in volatile rate environments. Additionally, at scale, the FIGR marketplace could also
improve secondary market execution (transparency, auditability, and settlement) and deepen
investor participation in the sub asset class while fortifying a market that has historically lacked
standardization and liquidity depth.
