Dow Jones Description
Redwood Trust was established in 1994 based on our belief that a specialized financial institution could achieve consistent growth and profitability through investing in high-quality real estate loans in a focused, efficient, and disciplined manner. Our primary business is investing in high-quality residential real estate loans. Redwood owns or credit-enhances over 660,000 high-quality residential real estate loans with a total loan balance of approximately $228 billion. Redwood also invests in a variety of other residential and commercial real estate loans and securities. Everyday, nationwide, banks make thousands of residential real estate loans. They do this to earn fee income. But these banks' internal sources of funds - deposits and borrowings - are not sufficient to supply enough capital for them to keep making new loans. Most banks must sell their loans after origination so they can replenish their capital to make new loans. We acquire jumbo loans (loans with balances greater than $417,000) from banks and mortgage origination companies for our portfolio. We hold these loans in our portfolio, using our shareholders' equity capital - plus funds raised through issuing bonds - to make these investments. We also use our capital to "credit-enhance" or "guarantee" the credit results of jumbo loans that are pooled together by originators and sold to the capital markets via securitization...
