SMM basic measure monthly Basis CPR C? Prepayment Rate based on SMM annualised PSA based on CPR takes the COR and applies a curve to the rate of prepayments on the model. (%) e.g. 100% PSA is applied to model. 200% PSA implies x%CPR per month Tries to reflect how prepayments in a pool will accelerate and then burn out. This reflects the nature of a mortgage pool, elgl why people will prepay, refinance, address selection and so on i.e. local economy facts. so those will drop out of the pool and you are left with those who will not. that's why it levels off. So who originates these figures? Is it measured ongoing?: No . Used to determine a pricing speed when marketing the security to investors. So this is part of the primary market / issuance where there is marketing. These are the estimated figures as they will be at issue. PSA may also be used as triggers. 100 - 400% PSA band - if you go outside that band, may change payment behaviour of those classes. Defaults: measures or rate of default CDR conditional default rate (annual) MDR Monhtly default rate - like CPR = Rate over time. - both defined as Rates. (%) Figures are originated by the servicer of the debt pool. Each serviceer will have their own formats but will do info on prepayments, llosses, detauls on specific loans and so on. The class Mortgage Pool originally had a property 'pool type' referring to a selection list of textual stylings of pool types. Those are now replaced with actual sub types of mortgage pool. Here are the original notes and definition that went with the enumerated list of pool types: The type of pool for a pool backed security. Each of these pool types represents pools of mortgages that have conformed to certain standards (that change periodically) that make them "conforming" -- such as mortgage balance under a certain threshold, creditworthiness, loan-to-value, etc. Further Notes: Non Agency signifies a tranched security, for which there will also be a Tranche Type for the security tranche itself. All other pool types are Agency pool types. List Populated from Cutter document Page 5. Additional terms from Adept Advistory: Under Agency mortgages, basically you have various types of pools under the various agencies. You have: -GNMA-I -GNMA-II -GNMA Platinum -FNMA -FHLMC -FHLMC Gold As far as definitions:The simple definition is that each of these pool types represents pools of mortgages that have conformed to certain standards (that change periodically) that make them "conforming" -- such as mortgage balance under a certain threshold, creditworthiness, loan-to-value, etc. Also, GNMA is explicitly backed by the US government, while FNMA and FHLMC are only implicitly backed by the US government. Perhaps there needs to be some research done on the parameters for what makes a loan conforming or not. Consensus:Review. non agency m b s issuer A party which is a non agency issuer of MBS securities. The identity of this party may be a bank or a specialist (non agency) mortgage company. Term origin:MBS PoC Reviews non agency mortgage pool pass-through pool REVIEW: These are all Pass-through so not clear why this term is here. Term originates with Cutter SME review but seems redundant. If not, this would be non mutually exclusive with agency pool. In general, agency MBS pools are pass through and non agency are tranched, but this reflects a business necessity not a logical necessity. pass through m b s deal An issue of Mortgage Backed Security instruments in which payments on the pool are passed through to investors The cashflows from interest and principal payments on the mortgages in the underlying pool are passed on to investors, usually with the deduction of fees in for them of a reduction in a mumber of percentage points or a monetary amount. Modeling note: Thinking about this further, and after more PoC reviews, it seems to me that we should simply define two kinds of Deal which are Tranched and Pass Thtrough, just below the level of Pool Backed Securities Deal. Investigaiton of various SMOs and REMICs and the like suggests that the original PoC term duality shown here (Tranched = Non Agency; Pass Through = Agency) is too simplistic. pass through m b s deal prospectus The written prospectus for an agency, pass through issue of Mortgage Backed Securities pass through m b s instrument A security in which the cash flows from the underlying asset pool are passed through to the investor by way of redemption payments. pass through m b s instrument note An individual note of a pass through instrument. pass through m b s issue underwriter The party which agrees to buy any certificates that are not bought by investors Term origin:MBS PoC Reviews paying agent private label m b s deal 0 real estate mortgage investment conduit special purpose vehicle that pools mortgage loans together and issues mortgage-backed securities REMIC A real estate mortgage investment conduit may be organized as a partnership, a trust, a corporation, or an association and is exempt from federal taxes. residential m b s Residential Mortgage-Backed Securities, which are trust certificates (bonds) backed by a pool of residential mortgage loans.
