“Vice Capital’s success has been built on a foundation of relationships, integrity and expertise,” Vice Capital Chairman Chris Bennett said. “Throughout his career, Terry has followed that same philosophy, and I can think of no better candidate to help us expand our offerings and enhance our ability to optimize lenders’ secondary market strategies and maximize their profitability.”
Aikin spent 15 years as an instructor in the Mortgage Bankers Association’s School of Mortgage Banking and holds the association’s Certified Mortgage Banker designation. In 2025, the MBA presented him with its E. Michael Rosser Lifetime Achievement Award.
“Over the past 25 years, Vice Capital Markets’ commitment to delivering personalized service and expert guidance has been the key to its clients’ long-term success,” Aikin said. “I look forward to helping more financial institutions realize the benefits of working with Vice Capital and cementing its position as the industry’s most reputable capital markets, hedging and mortgage banking advisory firm.”
