MAXEX

"We want to be the Tradeweb 3.0 for the residential loan marketplace."

MAXEX CEO Tom Pearce sat down with HousingWire to explain what this commercial collaboration means for originators and investors and why it's a transformative moment for the market.

Tradeweb commands 80% of the agency MBS market. MAXEX is the trusted exchange for non-agency and non-QM whole loans. Together, originators can now access both on a single platform: agency and non-agency, side by side.

That means direct pricing for ~1,500 smaller originators, access to 3,200 global institutional clients, and faster capital velocity from closing table to investor.

The largest credit market in the world is finally getting the infrastructure it deserves.
