Ginnie Mae Platinum Guaranty Fees:
The fee structure for WAC ARM Platinum Pool Types differs from other Ginnie Mae Platinum pools, as provided previously in MPM 15-01. The tier fee structure for creating any of the 14 new WAC ARM Platinum Pool Types is illustrated in the table below:
| $1,000,000 to $9,999,999 |
4 tics |
| $10,000,000 to $24,999,999 |
3 tics |
| $25,000,000 and up |
2 tics |
*1 Tic = 1/32 of 1%. There is no minimum fee, however the pool must have a minimum unpaid principal balance (UPB) of $1,000,000.
Non-Cash Fee
The Non-Cash Fee (i.e. the non-cash portion of the fee), payable by the allocation of a portion of the underlying Ginnie Mae MBS Certificates to the creation of the Ginnie Mae Platinum Principal Only (PO) Bond, will remain at $1000.
These changes to the Platinum pooling process were made in response to stakeholders’ requests and are intended to encourage increased utilization of the Platinum Securities program.
