The slides from Stonegate Mortgage’s (SGM) CEO Jim Cutillo's presentation at the 2014 FBR Fall Investor Conference in New York on Tuesday reveals an update on how the lender plans to continue to grow and thrive in a flat market.
A previous presentation from Cutillo in September included a chart on Stonegate’s target growth opportunities. This latest presentation gives an updated version, showing that the company expects more growth than originally estimated.
First, of the lender’s three areas of focus — origination, financing and servicing — it noted that origination offers the most attractive risk and return characteristics of the three.
