Case Study 2
Investor transparency and criteria governance for forward flow mortgage funding programmes
Overview
A Belgian non-bank mortgage lending platform implemented InCol Intelligence to establish a single source of truth for mortgage loan-level data and to provide eacheconomic owner with an investor-specific view of the mortgages originated for their programme.
This gave investors ongoing comfort that mortgages were being originated as agreed, and enabled them to assess and interrogate their portfolio each month using the same validated dataset and partnership criteria.
Client Profile
The client is a Belgian non-bank mortgage lending platform operating forward flow programmes with multiple investors, including a European insurance company and an international investment bank.
The Need
Forward flow mortgage partnerships depend on two outcomes that must be repeatable month after month. Both parties need confidence that mortgage loan-level data is complete, consistent, and current. The investor also needs transparent evidence that the mortgages originated in its programme meet the criteria agreed with the originator.
The Challenge
The client needed to strengthen three areas of its operating model.
Single source of truth. Mortgage loan-level data was being prepared across multiple
extracts, which created reconciliation effort and reduced confidence that all stakeholders
were working from the same version of the truth.Investor-specific transparency. Each economic owner needed a clear view of the
mortgages originated for its programme, presented in a way that supported portfolio
oversight and month-to-month interrogation.Criteria governance. The partnership required a controlled, testable way to evidence
that originated mortgages met agreed programme criteria, and to highlight exceptions in
a clear and explainable manner.
What InCol Intelligence delivered
The solution combined three connected capabilities within InCol Intelligence.
Data Integrity. Automated checks identify and remediate common data issues,
ensuring reporting and oversight are based on consistent, trusted inputs and creating a
single source of truth across the organisation.Investor-specific portfolio views. The platform provides segmented views aligned with
economic ownership, allowing the originator to share mortgages relevant to each
investor and to support investor interrogation without rebuilding bespoke extracts.Criteria management. A built-in criteria management system captures the programme
rules agreed between the originator and investor and applies them consistently to newly
originated mortgages, providing a clear view of what meets criteria and what is flagged
as an exception.
Monthly Operating Rhythm
Refresh the mortgage loan-level dataset used for investor reporting and oversight.
Run Data Integrity checks and resolve exceptions upstream.
Apply the partnership criteria using the criteria management system.
Publish or refresh the investor-specific view for each economic owner.
Support monthly investor interrogation of portfolio composition, eligibility outcomes,
and changes over time.
Results
The client established a single source of truth for mortgage loan-level data, materially improving confidence for both the originator and its investors.
Investors gained transparent, investor-specific access to the mortgages originated for their programme and could interrogate their portfolio each month using consistent data and criteria logic.
The same operating model supported multiple forward flow mortgage investors, including a European insurance company and an international investment bank, without creating a separate reporting process for each relationship.
