Perceptions & Questions
Analyst: Robin Bloor
The Bloor Group
The Bloor Group
NINJA Loans
NINJA Loan: NINJA = No Income No Job or Assets
Why would any sane person make a mortgage
loan to a NINJA?
Ø Because they could probably pay the first year’s premiums – so the loans were structured accordingly
Ø Because the property market was booming and the rise in house prices might just eliminate the risk
Ø Because you could pass on the risk
The Bloor Group
The Mortgage Backed Security Mortgage Backed Securities:
Bundled the NINJA Loans with others en block (risk spreading)
Were traded without adequate transfer of title
Were falsely rated – often AAA
Were a primary cause of the 2008 crash
WE ARE STILL SORTING OUT THE MESS
and
The Bloor Group
A Systemic Failure
Caused in some instances by “bad actors”
Assisted by inadequate
systems without proper audit trails
Economic impacts (which were severe)
Severe legal and administrative
impacts

And So…
Ø Provide transparent loan level data
Ø Expose the actual risks in a clear and comprehensible manner
Ø Enable the intelligent management and monitoring of loan performance
Perhaps we should have RELIABLE
loan management systems which:
The Bloor Group
1. The failure of Mortgage Backed Securities was clearly in part due to poor systems. Given that it was not the only cause please explain how your application suite:
! Provides more coherent loan level due diligence reviews
! Accurately exposes the level of risk
! Includes customer specific loan level validations at bid and settlement
Questions
The Bloor Group
2. How does the application deal with taking on existing loans (some of which may be under water)?
3. Imagine the situation where, in the future, house prices fall in a dramatic way (say 30% on average):
! Could your application suite be used to identify these loans for monitoring and performance tracking?
