We're excited to announce that Agile is heading to the MBA Annual! We would love the opportunity to connect with you during the event.

Agile brings together lenders and dealers of all sizes onto a single platform that facilitates the exchange of MBS by securing and automating communication between mortgage lenders and broker-dealers.

We would love the opportunity to discuss:

• TBAs - Bid/Offer/Roll/Round Robin

• BWIC/Pool Bidding

• AVT/AOTs via TBA Trade

Schedule a meeting with your preferred date and time for the MBA Annual and we'll be happy to accommodate you. - https://trade-agile.com/event-rsvp/

Why rely on manual emails or phone calls to strike dealer bids when you can execute directly within your trading platform?

Sam Farmer demonstrates Agile’s Awards Section, showing how secondary traders can request an electronic strike directly with selected dealers. Once struck, Agile instantly updates the all-in price and generates a clear confirmation record.

Fast, organized, and audit-ready trade ex*****on.

Striking the trade is only half the job, as post-trade settlement and hedge transfers can swallow up a desk's afternoon. In this video, Sam Farmer walks through Agile’s Finish Section, demonstrating how secondary desks can allocate TBA trades for swaps, confirm trade details, and execute.

Assignments of Trade (AOTs) in one workflow.

Deliver electronic AOTs straight to dealer back offices, cut out manual paperwork, and minimize operational risk from trade through completion.

Watch how Agile unifies the full secondary pooling workflow.

Managing position overlaps and flattening risk efficiently requires fast, seamless counterparty connectivity. Did you know Agile supports Round Robin and expanded Competitive Offer functionality?

Rather than relying on fragmented, manual channels to shift positions, Agile brings Round Robin workflows directly into a centralized electronic platform. This creates a more efficient trading protocol for both mortgage lenders and our expanding network of primary and regional broker-dealers.

Why capital markets desks leverage Agile for Round Robin:

- Broad Counterparty Access: Connect and transact seamlessly across both primary and regional broker-dealers.

- Integrated Competitive Functionality: Request, compare, and execute competitive offers within a unified electronic workflow.

- Effortless Position Management: Flatten positions and reallocate exposure cleanly once trade requests are accepted.

- Operational Efficiency for Both Sides: Direct electronic trade acceptance reduces manual back-and-forth for traders and dealer desks alike.

The result: faster ex*****on, stronger dealer relationships, and less manual work for everyone on the trade.

The green jackets aren't just a conversation starter. They represent a different way of thinking about mortgage capital markets.

Agile was purpose-built for the mortgage industry, giving capital markets teams technology designed around the way they actually trade, not adapted from another asset class.

That same mindset is helping reshape the TBA market by bringing both regional and primary broker-dealers onto a single platform to compete for lender business. More competition creates more transparency, better ex*****on opportunities, and a stronger marketplace for everyone.

The jackets may stand out.

Our commitment to modernizing mortgage trading is what defines us.

Achieving better ex*****on in the TBA MBS market starts with more competition.

Agile's Competitive Buy functionality enables mortgage lenders to solicit pricing for TBAs from both their primary and regional broker-dealer counterparts simultaneously, helping them identify the best available ex*****on opportunity in real time.

Rather than relying on a limited number of dealer relationships, lenders can leverage a broader network, increasing competition for their trades and enhancing price discovery all within a single platform.

In this video, you'll see how easy it is to complete the competitive buy process on Agile:

- Select Buy and Competition from the Trade tab
- Send a trade request to your dealer network simultaneously
- Receive competitive pricing within 60 seconds
- Select the dealer offering the best level
- Once confirmed, either accept the trade or send it to Round Robin to offset positions with another dealer
- Complete the process and efficiently manage your exposures
