question Shane comes from Rick with Morgan. of Our JP line next the

Rick Shane

I just adjusted on on quarter the want got funded we or lock? to guidance was that for be clear, volume the fourth pull-through

Mark Elbaum

funded on was volume. It

Rick Shane

Okay.

you I’m So a had we leading a basis. the of is last indicator think metric Because quarter, I a I pull-through versus a question -- where as this that get provided I of funded fourth Can number on little kind quarter? is guess I think bit for we that for curious of lagging pull-through quarter? indicator. are the

Mark Elbaum

take Let’s here. look a

going in be a think we’re I to place. similar

think terms that gave I funded don’t to the volume, going think I I but of guidance it’s in be much different.

volumes under little loss you $XX So if fallout-adjusted bit little $XX was think look bit Funded a at over our is I our billion. third quarter, a billion.

of exact, be It thing. might will close. be that but it be So it pretty won’t hopefully kind

Rick Shane

the really this it. question. we pipeline, the is And the when think on the and of Got hedge about heart

out rates of have dynamic With borrower. broker you intermediary loan. When the the wholesale channel on fall, reshopping working going the who have is of and behalf an the because you a

other the is terms hedging I’m expected channels And think higher. you the in rise, have channel curious about likely of behavior? even how your versus rates your lower perhaps wholesale And given dynamics in broker -- so or environments fallout sort those where you of fallout.

Willie Newman

Rick, Willie. Yes. it’s

go variables not it’s that, that there’s behavior. of ton the process, the of make kinds ability we a is least I the say, of I So to historically. to loan analysis And loan -- the mean, is switch think that as in which loan, versus ability default related to of to switch especially the I’ll all into status do lower, And loan much once the more to fungible, itself.

say or wide swings markets and fallout We’ll adjustments capital very moves moves. if we of the I’d do challenges overall -- our is we wide But just But seen a mid-last Since the was of more rate those. have as some very based the of a back -- assumptions. And in test market. so since don’t the of necessary make the we variation it fall we what function We on all and to haven’t process monitor fallout. closely. year, much when in volatility

So in our a any it’s cycle. to XX% range within X% fall like

Rick Shane

actually, does pipeline brings the industry actually next that make revert morning, in are Willie, between equilibrium, a at the question, reaches fundings X is time Got hedging more it. to as legal And which to that in easier? I say a to the my seeing the apologize. normal easy me imbalance and level, to locks that supply-demand not frame? new the time And revert you normal And

Willie Newman

yes. I’d and say yes

of that our is due own Some process to improvement.

that are to for on and exposed shorter fallout, reduce the are time the you partner make we cycle experience. you cycle less to addition you customer focused to the time to that I’d we’re is the mentioned, starting can very wouldn’t So I that are to focused continuing for in we reasons But the potential meaningful more the intently mentioned. of of multiple but and say I improvements, on happen. own reasons it’s say delta. see that part a to it our due

Rick Shane

nonconforming you execution this have to of question. for jumbo industry. I enough last changing through into about lived I’m apologize this how Okay. think some cycles your And your markets Having long then migration curious into done a in couple one capital risk? loans

Willie Newman

our the on execution Well, I news product. we that is good think on started agency because that the diversifying

the to plumbing counterparty be the be those extend to loans quickly hedging as us out the both with able to as loans. and move have We will to able to associated in the allow place

mitigate really So non-agencies and we pass. that to other the in in jumbo is as both with them be thing feel the the place I will the we components roll be able they But we’re already process have separate out, to that doing like risk.

other coming words, in So be the associated government with loans we loans processes are with now. won’t when those agency that we the do loans the

associated those do So obviously. higher, at the defect because is we we -- loans look risk with
