<p>I have an interview for a mortgage trading internship and i was wondering where i could find information on it… I searched the company (countrywide financial) and it’s not on vault =( . anyone have experience with this type of work? any tips? thanks</p>
<p>Mortgage trading encompasses quite a lot of different instruments. You have to specify whether you have any exact product group or simply looking for general info. Here are some stuff on the MBS market: <a href=“http://www.fanniemae.com/mbs/mbsbasics/market/index.jhtml;jsessionid=G03Z0YGK4FPKPJ2FECISFGQ?p=Mortgage-Backed+Securities&s=Basics+of+Fannie+Mae+MBS&t=Basics+of+MBS+Market+%26+Pools[/url]”>http://www.fanniemae.com/mbs/mbsbasics/market/index.jhtml;jsessionid=G03Z0YGK4FPKPJ2FECISFGQ?p=Mortgage-Backed+Securities&s=Basics+of+Fannie+Mae+MBS&t=Basics+of+MBS+Market+%26+Pools</a></p>
<p>well, im looking for any relevant information pertaining to the positions. I’m not sure what exactly what i will be doing - they give a fairly vague descrpition but i know it is in investment banking and it deals with underwriting and analyzing mortgage portfolios.</p>
<p>Take a look at the second job description on this page:

<p>While I was on the countrywide website I noticed that they did whole loan trading so it may be of interest to you as the description is more detailed than the ones on the Countrywide website. </p>
<p>Congrats on the interview and good luck.</p>
