Redwood Trust, Inc. (RWT) is a U.S.-based specialty finance company structured around four operating segments: Sequoia Mortgage Banking, CoreVest Mortgage Banking, Redwood Investments, and Legacy Investments. Its mortgage banking segments function as conduits, acquiring residential loans from third-party originators (Sequoia) and originating residential investor loans (CoreVest) for subsequent securitization, sale, or transfer into the companys investment portfolio. Redwood Investments targets assets with sensitivity to housing credit risk sourced through the companys own underwriting platforms, with a stated strategic shift toward retained interests from internally originated securitizations rather than third-party securities. The Legacy Investments segment holds non-core assets, including legacy bridge loans and re-performing loan securities, that are being wound down as part of an accelerated repositioning of the business.
As a mortgage REIT, Redwood operates in a sector that earns income from the spread between the yields on mortgage-related assets and the cost of financing them, making the business highly sensitive to interest rate movements and credit spreads. The company was incorporated in 1994 and is headquartered in Mill Valley, California.
- Sequoia gain-on-sale margins compress on volatile mortgage rates
- CoreVest investor loan originations decline amid housing market slowdown
- Legacy asset runoff accelerates under accelerated strategic repositioning
