Mortgage Hedging – When Should I Hedge?

Posted by Brian Hall on Feb 22, 2017 12:25:53 PM

A growing question in the mortgage industry is: “when should I think about mortgage hedging?” After all, for those with the capability to hedge, doing so should be a no-brainer. Properly hedging your pipeline mitigates risk and allows for the execution of trades on hedge products that allow you to make more money. And at the end of the day, who doesn’t want that?

 

Often when considering mortgage hedging, though, you have to think about the barrier to entry, and if you’re ready to jump in or not. While there isn’t an exact number that you can point to as the right amount of money you should be seeing each month before hedging, there’s a pretty defined range that you can see if you fall into. Typically, lenders want to be on the higher side of between $12-15 million dollars in monthly hedgeable loans before considering mortgage hedging. And while being closer to $12 million can work, it’s typically best to wait until you’re at least trending toward the higher end of that range before diving in.
