 via our TPO channel. We believe these efforts will increase brand and product recognition and awareness within the addressable market of U.S. seniors and among mortgage brokers, make our marketing efforts and originations processes more efficient and less costly, improve the originations experience for borrowers and mortgage broker partners, expand the number and depth of our relationships with borrowers and mortgage broker partners, and ultimately raise our origination volumes.

Our Portfolio Management segment provides structuring and product development expertise as well as broker/dealer and institutional asset management capabilities, which facilitates innovation and the successful monetization of our loans. We securitize HECM into HMBS, which Ginnie Mae guarantees, and sell the HMBS in the secondary market while retaining the rights to service the HECM. When HECM are not eligible for securitization into HMBS or are required to be bought out of a pool of HECM previously securitized into an HMBS, we securitize them into privately placed mortgage-backed securities or hold them for investment. In November 2024, Ginnie Mae announced the finalized term sheet for its HMBS 2.0 program expected to be implemented in 2025. Once implemented, the HMBS 2.0 program will enable us to securitize into HMBS additional HECM that are required to be bought out of pools of HECM securitized pursuant to Ginnie Mae’s existing HMBS program or otherwise not eligible for securitization pursuant to Ginnie Mae’s existing HMBS program (subject to expanded eligibility parameters applicable to the HMBS 2.0 program), increasing the HECM that we are able to securitize into HMBS. We both securitize non-agency reverse mortgage loans into mortgage-backed securities sold to investors and sell them as whole loans to investors. We may also decide to strategically hold certain non-agency reverse mortgage loans for investment. The capabilities provided by the Portfolio Management segment allowed us to complete several issuances and sales of mortgage-backed securities backed by our loan products in 2024, including our first issuance and sale of mortgage-backed securities backed exclusively by our non-agency second lien reverse mortgage loan product, demonstrating the high quality and liquidity of the loan products we originate, the deep relationships we have with our investors, and the resilience of our business model in many economic environments.
