Notes: Alt-A loans are neither conventional or subprime, and tend to have underwriting quirks that place them in the “nonconforming” category. FICO scores on alt-A mortgages are higher than on subprime. (1) EMC is owned by Bear Stearns. (2) ALS is owned by Lehman Bros. (3) These GMAC-related firms are affiliates. (4) GreenPoint is owned by North Fork which is being sold to Capital One.
