Mortgage Insurance and CECL – Presented by MGIC with RiskSpan

Mortgage insurance is typically purchased to protect mortgage investors from credit risk. Under the new “Current Expected Credit Loss” (CECL) accounting standard, mortgage insurance provides a secondary benefit: a lower allowance for credit losses.

This webinar will:

  • Quantify the impact of MI on CECL under a range of macroeconomic scenarios
  • Introduce a way of measuring MI “value” in a CECL context, namely, a premium-to-allowance reduction ratio
  • Under a mainstream set of macroeconomic assumptions, analyze various coverage levels to search for best value
