Mickey Maloney
Principal
Mickey Maloney is a Principal at HedgeAdvisory instrumental in developing relationships and managing books of business.
Mr. Maloney spent 25 years at Fannie Mae, most recently as Vice President of Customer Management Solutions leading a team of professionals who provide day to day support and strategic guidance to small and medium sized lenders across the country. Mr. Maloney and his team created partnerships by providing expertise in capital markets, technology, underwriting, servicing, and products/community lending initiatives.
Mr. Maloney spent the majority of his career as Vice President of the Whole Loan Conduit (WLC) Desk. In this capacity, Mr. Maloney led a team of traders who priced, purchased, hedged, securitized, and sold whole loans. Mr. Maloney managed the desk from a small operation buying $25m/day in a buy/hold capacity, to become the largest securitizer of MBS in the world managing a book that exceeded $200bn/year. He successfully set strategic direction for the WLC desk and managed its day to day operations. Mickey piloted the development of a new asset pricing engine that provided greater flexibility in pricing whole loans and better aligned whole loan execution with mortgage backed securities. One of his proudest achievements was bringing specified pricing to the whole loan market, offering best in class execution on all specified products to all customers rather than it being the domain of just those who securitized MBS.
