The issuer of the pass-through obtains the mortgages either by purchasing or originating the loans
Loans with similar characteristics are pooled together; loans are securitized
The investor has undivided ownership interest (the investor is entitled to the pro-rata share of interest and principal payments of the underlying loans)
A “pass-through” is the basic MBS structure
It passes the monthly principal and interest payments, minus a servicing spread, from a pool of mortgages to investors

Trends in bank demand
M B S
Bank holdings are still growing, but at a slower pace.
Some signs that bank demand could slow:
MBS holdings as a percentage of deposits have increased
C&I loan growth has picked up
But, there are mitigating factors:
Deposit rates have remained sticky
Available-for-sale security losses
Mortgages remain one of the few sectors that offers the size and
liquidity that large banks need

Large banks have enjoyed the liquidity of the mortgage market for large trades,
and average trade size has increased significantly.
Diversification and movement away from credit risk have been themes, but could
shift if mortgages remain tight.

Pools are comprised of mortgage loans with similar rates and terms
WAC – weighted average coupon of all loans in pool (vs Coupon)
WAM – weighted average maturity of loans in pool
WALA – weighted average loan age
Original face – original principal amount of pool
Current face – remaining principal balance of pool
Origination year – average origination year of loans in pool; age (WALA) is important in prepayment
assessment (“seasoning”)
CPR – Constant Prepayment Rate – annualized percentage of remaining principal prepaid

Prepayments: source of MBS optionality
M B S
Borrowers have the right to prepay at any time without penalty – in effect “calling” their loans away from investors; prepayments may be partial or complete
Valuing this call option and the cash flow uncertainty it creates is the key to understanding MBS
Timing and rate of prepayments vary and produce non-level, less-predictable cash flows
Prepayment (Call) Risk vs extension risk

Determinants of prepayments
M B S
Prepayments can be for economic / non-economic reasons
Interest rate incentive
Yield curve shape: refi down the curve
WALA: mobility increases over time
Seasonality: Summer months have the fastest speeds owing to school vacation
“Burnout”: Remaining borrowers in a pool may be credit constrained
Cash-out refinancing: Take built-up equity out of the home
Default: Shows as a prepayment in agency pools

Yield analysis in the MBS market
M B S
Static Spread (Yield Spread): standard measure of incremental return over a single benchmark Treasury
Compares MBS to single point on the yield curve, usually to the interpolated point closest to the Weighted Average Life of the MBS
But MBS does not return principal in one lump sum but over many periods. A better assumption would include multiple data points on the yield curve. Z Spread takes this another step further.
Z Spread (Yield Curve Spread) : discounts each monthly MBS cashflow by the monthly forward rates derived from the current yield curve
More accurate for securities that return principal over many periods as opposed to bullets
Still a static measure since it assumes that interest rates and MBS cashflows remain constant

Prepayments and OAS
M B S
Prepayment issues:
Reinvestment risk: When rates decline and speeds increase the investor has to reinvest an increased amount of principal at lower ratesWhen rates increase and speeds decline, the investor has less cashflow to reinvest at higher rates
Discount bonds: when rates decline, the benefit of earlier return of principal at par may mitigate reinvestment risk
Premium bonds: when rates increase, the benefit of a larger outstanding principal balance and longer average life means higher and more interest payments which may mitigate the reinvestment risk
OAS has been derived to account for the dispersion and uncertainty associated with this return of principal from MBS

OAS Calculation
M B S
To incorporate prepayment volatility in the valuation of MBS, we can calculate a theoretical price for a given OAS1. Hundreds of hypothetical interest rate paths are simulated2. On each interest rate path the prepayment model is used to predict prepayment speeds and thus,
MBS cashflows3. For each path, the present value of the projected cashflows are calculated using a specified spread,
s, which is added to the forward rates4. Value of MBS = Average value of PV(s) over all simulated interest rate paths
= AVGPV(s) where s is OAS
To find OAS given market price:1. Start with an initial estimate for OAS2. Calculate AGVPV(s) and keep adjusting until AVGPV(s) = market price
Drawback of OAS:1. The spread earned by the investor depends on the actual path realized and can be drastically
different from the OAS2. Wide differences in OASs are produced by different firms models due to different term structures,
volatility assumptions and prepayment projections3. Doesn’t account for dollar roll financing4. Is a “black box” – difficult for investors to decompose OAS into its component parts.

Pass-through risk measurement (duration)
M B S
Various measures of duration: % change in price for a 1% change in rates.
Modified duration is inappropriate for pass-throughs as it cannot accommodate varying cash flows.
OAD is found by calculating constant OAS prices for parallel curve shifts.
Empirical duration uses actual observations regressed against a Treasury benchmark. Directional/empiricals could be different against different parts of the yield curve.
None of these measures is perfect. We tend to use a combination of them all.

Pass-through risk measurement (convexity)
M B S
Convexity: the rate at which the duration of a security changes as interest rates change.
– Positive convexity implies that for small, equal and opposite changes in interest rates, the increase in price if rates go down will be more than the decrease in price if rates rise.
– Negative convexity implies that the increase in price if rates go down will be smaller than the decrease in price if rates rise.
– Bullet Treasuries have positive convexity. Pass-throughs typically have negative convexity.

Economics of refinancing
M B S
• CATO (curve at origination) – borrowers who take out a 30-year mortgage in a steep curve
environment are likely to exhibit slow turnover
• SATO (spread at origination) – high mortgage rates relative to prevailing rates at origination
indicate credit impairment. These borrowers are less likely to refinance
• Loan size – with similar fixed costs for refinancing, borrowers with larger loan sizes are more
likely to refi
• Home price appreciation – higher HPA allows borrowers to “cash-out refi”, or may allow some
borrowers to “cure” and obtain a better mortgage rate with A lower LTV
• Mortgage banking capacity – in large refi waves mortgage bankers may become inundated
with supply, causing mortgage spreads to widen

TBA pass-through market
M B S
TBA = “To Be Announced”. Essentially, a cheapest-to-deliver market (like a futures contract). Most liquid market.
As with other delayed delivery transactions, a seller agrees to issue a TBA security at a future date. However, in a TBA trade, the seller and the buyer do not identify the specific underlying mortgage pools, simply certain pre-specified terms
TBAs are identified by agency, term, coupon, settle month, and traded on a dollar-price basis
“Cheapest-to-deliver” gives the seller a delivery option that the buyer is short
Standardized delivery dates (see Bloomberg TDAT).
Settles once a month like a futures contract
Delivering pools: seller must provide pool information by 3 p.m. 2 business days prior to
settlement (48-hour day).
Variance: the amount by which the face value at delivery can vary from the amount
specified at the time of the trade, expressed as a percentage of the initial face value
requested. The Bond Market Association suggests 0% variance on all TBA tradesET

Dollar rolls
M B S
Dollar rolls are transactions where an institution sells mortgage
backed securities with a commitment to buy similar, but not identical,
mortgage backed securities on a future date at a lower price.
In the case of mortgage pass-throughs, “similar” securities refers to
securities with the same coupon, security type, and mortgage
collateral.
Dollar rolls offer an attractive means of borrowing at a low cost
primarily because they allow dealers to cover their short positions.

JPMorgan MBS Index
M B S
Due to paydowns and new pool issuance which are reported monthly, the mortgage universe undergoes monthly transformations
JPMorgan re-balances the Index automatically to reflect the changing compositions of the mortgage market. Once a month, on the last business day of the month, all the pools represented in the Index are re-aggregated for use next month
At the end of each business day, JPMorgan trader marks are used to price all the constituent securities in the Index
Traders mark benchmark issues (TBAs) and specified pools
Algorithm is used to price securities that are not actively traded

Hedge-adjusted carry
M B S
We introduce a hedge-adjusted carry methodology which provides a short-
term (1- to 2-month) measure of performance using rather
straightforward calculations
Option-adjusted spreads serve as a long-term spread measure and assume
vega hedging, among other risk measures
It serves as a good complement to OAS valuations, capturing the return
for taking duration and convexity risks
Essentially, hedge-adjusted carry gives us the net carry of holding a TBA
after hedging for duration and adjusting for convexity hedging costs
Higher carry could suggest overweighting certain coupons. However, this
valuation ignores other risks like vega and mortgage Libor spread

Hedge-adjusted carry components
M B S
The valuation incorporates factors such as the roll, hedge ratios, durations,
convexities. Specifically, the main components of the analysis are:
Swap Hedge Ratios (using partial durations).
Duration Hedged Carry
Total Negative Convexity
Convexity Hedging Cost

Hedge-adjusted carry components
M B S
We hedge three partial durations on the swap curve (2-yr, 5-yr and 10-yr) with the cost being the carry and rolldown on each of the swaps
To figure out the duration adjusted carry we simply calculate:
Duration Hedged Carry= TBA roll – ∑(cost of swap hedge)
Cost of swap hedge = hedge ratio * swap carry
In calculating total convexity cost, we incorporate swap convexity since we are long MBS and short swaps (which are positively convex)
Total Convexity = MBS convexity – swap convexity
We can estimate the convexity cost using short-dated swaption implied vols (1-month x 10-year swaptions)

5/1 Hybrid ARM borrower with an initial coupon rate of 4.5% and a 5/2/5 cap structure pays 4.5% for 5 years
The highest the borrower’s rate can reset after the 5 year fixed rate period ends is (4.5%+5%), or 9.5%
The on-going periodic cap restricts the borrower from resetting up more than 2% at each yearly reset
The life cap also protects the borrower by ensuring that the coupon cannot reset above 9.5% for the life of the loan

Hybrid ARM Key Terminology
M B S
Rate caps (initial, periodic, and lifetime) offer protection from large interest rate movements by providing a cap and a floor, limiting the amount the resetting contract rate can increase or decrease on each adjustment date
The initial adjustment cap provides a cap and floor on the interest rate at the first adjustment date
Periodic adjustment caps restrict upward and downward movements at each subsequent reset date
Lifetime caps dictate the maximum interest rate of the mortgage loan at any given time
MTR (months to reset) is defined as the number of months until the Hybrid ARM resets off its specified Index. In other words, the number of months until the fixed rate portion of the bond ends
Once a Hybrid ARM loan reaches reset, the borrower’s new coupon is determined off a specified index
The most popular indices are LIBOR and CMT
The gross margin is the spread added to the Index that determines the mortgage holder’s new rate
The net margin is what is passed on to the investor. The net margin is the spread added to the Index that determines the coupon the investor receives. Typically, unless otherwise specified, LIBOR-indexed ARMs have approximately 175bps net margin, while CMT-indexed bonds have approximately 225bps margin
