The answer to that question is no – probably. As we’ve reported before, private equity firms have been eyeing the mortgage market for the past two years – in particular MSRs. But here’s the catch: although there has been plenty of ‘talk,’ no household name PE firms (if there is such a thing) have taken the bait. Bain Capital is a well managed firm that has been successful, no doubt. (Heck, it’s headed by some guy who’s running for president and whose success is under attack by liberals.) But we’re told that one of these days – very soon – a somewhat well known PE firm is going to make a big splash in MSRs. We are holding our breath.
