Mr. Branthover has been a mainstay in the mortgage capital markets since the late 1980’s. He ran capital markets at JPMorgan Chase before conducting fixed income sales at Lehman Bros.

Mr. Johannes is an industry veteran with ten years of experience trading mortgage-backed securities as an agency MBS trader at StoneX. StoneX has become a mortgage industry vanguard by leveraging a Request for Quote (RFQ) platform for the digital exchange of TBAs. Mr. Johannes now oversees access to a growing number of mortgage lenders and volume. Transactions are more efficient and reliable since moving away from the telephone. Additionally, insights from live data are helping StoneX provide sharper pricing and improved profitability for the firm.
We believe that a transparent market is a better market, for all industry participants. This is why we’ve created a revolutionary electronic MBS platform that brings together mortgage lenders and broker-dealers of all sizes.
Because every counterparty deserves access to a fair, efficient and transparent marketplace.
