Fannie Mae has named former PHH Mortgage chief Terry Edwards — who steered that nonbank through the worst of the mortgage crisis — as its new EVP in charge of portfolio management. At Fannie he will focus on the GSE's foreclosure prevention and loss mitigation activities for its single-family book of business. Until a few months ago Mr. Edwards was PHH's CEO but when a new control group — led by former Freddie Mac CEO Greg Parseghian — took charge of PHH he found himself serving only as a consultant. (PHH is a top ten ranked lender/servicer.) Even though subprime and alt-A lending boomed from 2003 to 2008 PHH stood mostly on the sidelines, concentrating on GSE and FHA lending. PHH is the nation's largest private label funder/servicer.
