For the first half of 2000, GMAC-RFC has securitized more than
$1.45 billion in HLTV product, placing GMAC-RFC among the largest HLTV issuers
to date. This transaction, the company's third of the year, demonstrates its
ongoing commitment to the HLTV securitization business.
According to Eric Scholtz, GMAC-RFC managing director, capital markets,
"We continue to see tremendous opportunity in the estimated $10 billion HLTV
market, both for GMAC-RFC and for our partners."
Scholtz said GMAC-RFC's objective is to continue to provide a stable
outlet for originators and supply for its investors. "GMAC-RFC continues to
be a leading buyer of HLTV product while other issuers continue to fall out of
the market. We are committed to delivering the same high-quality HLTV product
that we have in years past," he said.
Scholtz added that GMAC-RFC remains a leader in the HLTV market "thanks to
our prudent risk management, strong ongoing servicing and special servicing
capabilities, which all leads to superior performance. "
In 1999, GMAC-RFC issued more than $1.75 billion in HLTV product, making
it the largest HLTV issuer nationwide, according to industry sources. In
addition, as of first quarter 2000, GMAC-RFC ranks as the number one issuer of
home equity loans (HEL); number two issuer of private-label mortgage-backed
securities (MBS), and number two issuer of Alt A product. For the first six
months of 2000, GMAC-RFC was the leading issuer overall of asset-backed
securities (ABS), with a 19 percent market share.
GMAC-RFC, a wholly owned subsidiary of General Motors Acceptance
Corporation, is America's largest non-agency issuer of mortgage-backed
securities and a leading warehouse lender. The company leverages its
strengths in securitization, lending and investment to offer a broad portfolio
of innovative capital solutions. The company is headquartered in Minneapolis
