Lenders Shared Thoughts on eMortgage Adoption and Business Priorities

WASHINGTON, Aug. 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Fannie Mae ?today published the results of its latest Mortgage Lender Sentiment Survey? (MLSS) on lenders' experiences with eMortgage technology, including challenges to date and adoption plans, and their business priorities for 2025. While most lenders expressed familiarity with eNotes, only 22 percent of survey respondents currently use them; however, a majority expect to incorporate them into their mortgage production in the next two years. Lenders cited business process streamlining, cost-cutting, and consumer-facing technology as the top business priorities for the year, supplanting talent management and leadership, which ranked first in 2024.

In general the bond market is volatile, and fixed income securities carry interest rate risk. (As interest rates rise, bond prices usually fall, and vice versa. This effect is usually more pronounced for longer-term securities.) Fixed income securities also carry inflation risk and credit and default risks for both issuers and counterparties. Unlike individual bonds, most bond funds do not have a maturity date, so avoiding losses caused by price volatility by holding them until maturity is not possible.

Lower-quality debt securities generally offer higher yields, but also involve greater risk of default or price changes due to potential changes in the credit quality of the issuer. Any fixed income security sold or redeemed prior to maturity may be subject to loss.

Before investing, consider the funds' investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses. Contact Fidelity for a prospectus or, if available, a summary prospectus containing this information. Read it carefully.
