Driving Powerful Insights with the Mission Index
Designed to reinforce our mission to provide affordability, liquidity, and stability to the housing market, the Mission Index helps mortgage lenders and investors identify areas of opportunity with the potential for value-add impact.
Building on the initial Social Index framework introduced in 2022, the Mission Index reflects feedback from market stakeholders that enhance the methodology, strengthening insights into mission-oriented lending activities.
By incorporating income, borrower, and property criteria, the Mission Index can provide value-added insights for a range of single-family MBS investment approaches, including a variety of social impact portfolio needs. This flexible framework allows for the underlying criteria to evolve over time and can adapt to meet market dynamics.
The Mission Index minimizes disruption to Uniform Mortgage-Backed Securities (UMBS) in the “to be announced” (TBA) market and delivers transparency to investors while protecting borrower privacy.
