Following news that acting Ginnie Mae President Michael Bright is leaving to become the CEO of the Structured Finance Industry Group, Cowen analyst Jaret Seiberg called the news "likely a modest negative" those who favor the recap and release of Fannie Mae (FNMA) and Freddie Mac (FMCC). This is because Seiberg believes Bright will have more influence over GSE reform at the helm of the SFIG and he does not see that group pushing for a return to the old system. Seiberg further stated in his note to investors that he has "never viewed Bright as having sympathy for the push by current GSE investors for versions of reform that would benefit their positions."
