Securitization: Packaging and selling of

Effects of prepayments

Good news effects

cash flows.

Prepayment effects

Prepayments result of sales or refinancing.
• Since prepayment affects the cash flows to
MBS, pricing models require estimates of the
prepayment rates.
• Methods:
» Option pricing approach.
» Public Securities Association approach.
» Empirical approach.

Option Model Approach
Use option pricing theory to figure fair yield
spread of pass-throughs over Treasuries.
 Fair price on pass-through decomposable
into two parts

• PGNMA = PTBOND - PPREPAYMENT OPTION

Option-adjusted spread between GNMAs
and T-bonds reflects value of a call option.
