Structured Finance

BLG’s Structured Finance Division provides long-term financing strategies for our Company's core mortgage investment businesses, while delivering securitization services to other Bayview clients.

Since its inception in 1998, the Division has built world-class securitization programs with high-end, in-house structured finance resources.

In addition to providing a source of committed funding for our Company, we use our securitization program to generate long-term value by:

Providing information transparency at the time of issuance by showing data based on updated real estate valuations, credit reports and payment histories to investors, ratings agencies and dealers;
Regularly publishing and distributing relevant performance data to our investors, dealers and ratings agencies;
Facilitating secondary trading support through communication with an increasing number of Wall Street dealers; and
Ensuring that investors receive timely answers to their questions directly from our management team.

We enhance our ability to meet these objectives by offering the i-View Investor Resource tool, which gives our investors instant access to in-depth collateral analysis and reporting across Bayview's securitization portfolio. Since Bayview affiliates own the equity classes of our securitizations, Bayview appoints its special servicer, Bayview Loan Servicing, to service any credit impaired loans. Generally, we sell our primary servicing rights to M&T Mortgage Corporation, the mortgage subsidiary of Manufacturers and Traders Trust Company.

Since 1998, Bayview affiliates have issued more than $27 billion of investment-grade asset-backed securities in the 144A and public investor markets. Over that same period, our investor demographics have evolved significantly, growing from a base that was once primarily made up of domestic money managers to one that today includes a diverse mix of international and domestic banks, conduits, and insurance companies.
