“Providing better execution, liquidity, and transparency to mortgage lenders is a key element in the expansion of Hilltop’s mortgage business.

 We cover a wide array of products and have a large customer base of non-originators, so partnering with Agile was an easy decision to make.

 It allows us to assist a large network of lenders, helping us round out the end-accounts we trade with. Given our deep reach in the mortgage world, we are in a unique position to use our superior liquidity to provide better pricing to lenders – which they need now more than ever amid heightened volatility and wide bid/ask spreads. Our goal is to tighten markets and improve liquidity – we will never bid or offer behind the screens. Ultimately, we want to be a one

 stop shop for lenders: between our own originator, Prime Lending, the warehouse lending we provide through our bank, Plains Capital, and us at Hilltop Securities, we are well-positioned to compete in this sector and Agile helps us get there.”
