The number of Americans age 65 and older will more than double by 2060(US Census Bureau, 2014)
Aging in America
By 2030, there will be more than 74 million adults aged 65 and older in the U.S., accounting for 20% of
the population.
For the first time in our nation’s history, the 65 and older cohort will eclipse the total number of
Americans who are under 18 years old.
This aging population will have longer lifespans and more years
spent in retirement, outside of the paid workforce -- one in four 65-year-olds today are expected to
live past age 90 and one in 10 are expected to live past 95.
Household Wealth Profiles
Falling Short: 50% of households are “at risk” of being unable to maintain their pre-retirement standard of living in retirement.
Retirement Insecurity
For many older Americans, making their meager resources last over an unknown period of time is a primary stress factor.
They are one mishap away from facing a personal financial crisis.
Retirement Insecurity
Social Security provides most of the retirement
income for about half of households 65 and older
But replaces only 40% of pre-retirement earnings
Retirement Insecurity
Only 29% of households on the cusp of retirement (aged 50-64) will leave the workforce with a
traditional pension, compared to 49% of today’s 65-and-older
households.
A majority, 60%, of US workers report that their total household
savings and investments, excluding the value of their home and any defined benefit pension,
is less than $25,000.

Home Equity
Home equity has the potential to enhance retirement security because the homeownership rate generally exceeds ownership rates for most financial assets.
According to the Federal Reserve’s 2013 Survey of Consumer Finances:
65.2 percent of American households owned their primary residences
49.2 percent had retirement accounts
19.2 percent had cash-value life insurance policies
13.8 percent had stocks, and 10 percent had savings bonds (Bricker et al. 2014)
Senior Home Equity
The equity accumulated in a home, to many American families, represents the largest component of personal wealth.
Typical retiree households might have one or two incomes from Social
Security, a modest pension and/or limited income from low-yielding fixed-
income instruments, and, perhaps, a diminished 401(k) account.
The equity they have built up in their home is often, by far, their greatest
asset, an important resource for funding their future.
The homeownership rate among older Americans is nearly 80% and in the
fourth quarter of 2016, homeowners aged 62 and older held a combined $6.2
trillion in home equity, a $170 billion increased over the previous quarter.
Since Q1 2000, home equity has increased more than $4 trillion, since
the National Reverse Mortgage Lenders Association and data analytics firm Risk Span, Inc. first reported the aggregate amount of senior home equity as part
of the Reverse Mortgage Market Index.

What is a reverse mortgage?
You spend a career supporting your home and then when you retire, your home supports you
What is a reverse
mortgage?
A reverse mortgage, in simple terms, is a home equity loan that creates liquidity for older homeowners and does not need to be repaid until the borrower moves, sells the house, or passes away.
What is a reverse
mortgage?
Loan amounts are determined by a formula based on the home’s appraised value, the youngest borrower’s age, and current interest rates.
What is a reverse
mortgage?
Borrowers, or their heirs, typically repay the loan with either proceeds from the sale of the house or with funds available from other assets.
What is a reverse
mortgage?
Reverse mortgages were designed to help seniors, aged 62 and older, convert equity into cash that could be used to supplement a fixed retirement income and pay for medical and other daily expenses.
What is a reverse
mortgage?
Over time and with the help of financial planning experts, we’ve learned reverse mortgages are a versatile and beneficial tool in a comprehensive retirement income plan
What makes a reverse mortgage a good way to access home equity?
Flexibility
Borrowers choose how they want to receive loan
proceeds
Borrowers choose when to make
P&I repayments
(Monthly or wait until they are
required to do so at the end of the
loan)
Borrowers can use loan proceeds without
restriction
What’s a HECM?
HECMs are reverse
mortgages that are insured by
the Federal Housing
Administration
Home Equity Conversion Mortgage
Brief History of HECM Among the requirements contained in the original statute were:
Adequate third-party counseling including
explaining other
financial options
A fixed or variable
interest rate or future sharing of property
appreciation
A list of disclosures
to be delivered at
least 10 days before
closing
Borrower protection
against disappearance
of lender & obligations beyond fair
market value of their home
at sale
Scheduled reports to Congress
“To meet the special needs of elderly homeowners by reducing the effect of the economic hardship caused by increasing costs of meeting health,
housing and subsistence needs at a time of reduced income, through insurance of home equity conversion mortgages to permit the conversion
of a portion of accumulated home equity into liquid assets.”
The National Housing Act of 1987, Section 255 outlined the specifics of the demonstration program. The purpose of the program was:
HECM & FHA
Insurance
HUD’s HECM program offers FHA insurance for lenders who originate reverse mortgages to
senior homeowners.
• Subject to the FHA’s loan limit of $679,650
• Some lenders offer proprietary loans including “jumbo” reverse mortgages for high value homes
HECM and FHA Insurance
Borrower pays the insurance fees, and those charges are added to the borrower’s outstanding principal balance.
Private sector lenders, not the federal government, make reverse mortgages.
HECM and FHA Insurance
Insurance protects lenders against losses on their loans.
• These lenders must be FHA-approved, and the program statute and regulations determine the loan amounts available to borrowers.
The borrower is required to pay an upfront Mortgage
Insurance Premium, as well as an annual Mortgage
Insurance Premium.

HECM is a Non-Recourse Loan
At the resolution of the loan, if the loan balance exceeds the value of the collateralized property, HUD reimburses the lender for the
difference, up to a Maximum Claim Amount.

When is the Loan Due?
HECM HMBS
• Ginnie Mae’s Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM) securities program
• Ginnie Mae as guarantor
• HMBS securities
HECM Mortgage Backed securities (HMBS)
A Participation is that portion of a HECM loan securitized into an HMBS security.
One HECM loan may have multiple Participations in various HMBS securities throughout the life of the loan.
Although HMBS securities will likely contain many Participations from many different HECM loans, there may only exist a one-to-one relationship between any one Participation and the HMBS security for which it serves as pool collateral.
HECM Mortgage Backed securities (HMBS)
• Issuers are responsible for purchasing any Participation when the outstanding principal balance of the related HECM loan is equal to or greater than 98% of the Maximum Claim Amount
• If a HECM loan is found to be defective at any time after the related Participations have been pooled, the Issuer must cure the defect or purchase all related Participations. Substitutions of Participations related to HECM loans in HMBS pools are not permitted
• Issuers are required to pay a monthly guaranty fee to GinnieMae for each HMBS security for which the Issuer is Issuer of record.
HECM Mortgage Backed securities (HMBS)
• Each pool must have an original principal amount of at least $1,000,000
• Each HMBS pool must include at least 3 Participations, each of which is related to a distinct HECM loan
• HMBS security holders are not entitled to scheduled payments of principal or interest
• The issuer may, at that issuer’s option, purchase any pooled participation from GNMA once the associated HECM becomes due and payable.
