Business Model
Non-qualified mortgages carry higher coupons for genuinely manageable credit risk when underwritten well, and Angel Oak’s vertically integrated machine (origination through securitization) gives AOMR asset flow peers must buy at market. Securitization termed out the funding after 2022’s mark-to-market pain, and book value has stabilized as the vintage losses seasoned.
The Honest Risk Section
Residential credit is the exposure: a real housing downturn hits non-QM borrowers first, affiliate transactions (buying from your own sponsor) carry inherent conflicts, the 2022-23 book value damage and dividend reset remain the record, and micro-cap mortgage equities trade on sentiment as much as book. Yield with the full non-QM risk stack attached.
