The Bayview Mortgage Servicing Rights (“MSR”) Fund along with its wholly owned subsidiary Lakeview Loan Servicing (“Lakeview”) is the largest of Bayview’s funds. Lakeview is a top three owner of Ginnie Mae MSRs and a top 10 owner of Fannie/Freddie MSRs and actively sources new MSRs across its origination platform and bulk and co-issue MSR businesses.
