UBS Group AG is winding down a business in its US mortgage unit that focuses on “to-be-announced” trading, which involves forward sales of such securities.
The Swiss bank has been shifting its strategy for the business more toward financing mortgage originators, and the TBA move is part of that, according to a person familiar with the matter who asked not to be identified discussing non-public information.
