Former Subprime Trader Bets on New Home-Equity Strategy

Bloomberg Markets •
×

Keri Findley once traded subprime mortgage bonds during the subprime mortgage crisis and now targets a home equity product that echoes the pre‑2008 boom.

The product’s design mirrors the mortgage‑backed securities that fueled the 2008 financial crisis, but adds a modern safeguard. By using up‑to‑date home‑value data and borrowing trends, Findley aims to offer investors a vehicle that rewards long‑term equity growth while limiting exposure to sudden downturns.

Investors view Findley’s move as a potential shift in monetizing residential equity after the crisis. Success could reshape the secondary market for home‑equity products, prompting lenders and asset managers to rethink their own offerings. Such a model could attract investors seeking exposure.
