  1. One hundred identical mortgages are pooled together into a pass-through security. Each mortgage has a $100,000 principal, a fixed interest rate of 9% p.a. (paid monthly), and is fully amortized over a term of 30 years. Assume the bank charges servicing fees of 40 basis points and GNMA charges 10 bp to insure the timing of the payments. If investors expect no prepayment on these loans over the 30 years life of the pass-through, what should they pay for this package of mortgage backed securities (MBS), if they demand a return of 8%? (Chapter 26)

Oh, and could you please show your work in as much detail as possible. Thank you so much!!!

Oh, and If you think that the question is incomplete them I am really sorry but this is all the information I have. If it helps, this question pertains to Chapter 26-Securitization-of textbook Financial Institutions Management A Risk Management Approach-McGraw-Hill Education (2017) by Anthony Saunders and Marcia Millon Cornett.

Please, I am stuck on this question for two days now and I would appreciate any kind of help.

Thanks!

Answer #1

In the mortgage backed securities, all the returns are pass through. So the net return of pooled assets will be passed to the investor.

Pooled assets earn interest rate of 9%, and bank fees and GNMA charges cost 0.50%, that leaves us with net return of 8.5%.

Hence monthly net return = 100000 *8.5% /12 = 708.33

We can use the financial calculator to find the present value of the security:

N = 30*12 months = 360

I/Y = 8/12 = 0.67 (Per month)

PMT = 708.33

FV = 100000

Compute PV, we get 105203.96

Hence investor can pay 105203.96 in order to earn a return of 8%.

Consider a $400 million pass-through MBS that has just been created (so the 'seasoning' of the pass-through is equal to 0). The underlying pool of mortgages each has a maturity of 20 years and an annual mortgage coupon rate of 6%.

Suppose we construct principal-only (PO) and interest-only (IO) mortgage-backed securities (MBS) using the...
