Manage MBSs
For amortizing securities that are backed by loans and have a schedule of principal repayments, borrowers usually have the option of paying off all or part of their loan prior to the scheduled date. Any principal repayment prior to the scheduled date is called a prepayment. You can add prepayment time series information in the system in the Add Prepayment Time Series panel. See the Manage Prepayment Time Series Information page for more information.
About Lottery Bonds
In the Mortgage Backed Security panel, you can manually add an MBS lottery bond. A lottery bond is a mortgage backed security that repays the principal of a security to investors based on a lottery selection.
The system uses the value in the Processing Security Type field on the Mortgage Backed Security panel to identify the type of mortgage backed security you are adding. To add an MBS lottery bond, select DBFBFB (Factor Based Debt Instrument) from the Processing Security Type drop down list, and select Yes from the Lottery Flag drop down list.
The system automatically sets the factor in the trade panel to a factor of 1, allows you to establish a call corporate action record, processes the call transaction for the repayment of principal to the individual, and uses a factor of 1 for retrospective amortization for the period that amortization is to be calculated historically.
About CARs/CARDs
In the Mortgage Backed Security panel, you can manually add asset backed securities (ABS). While technically mortgage backed securities are asset backed securities, in the United States there is a separation between the two. ABS are securities backed by a pool of loans or receivables. Some of the largest sectors of the ABS market include credit card receivables, auto loans, home equity loans, manufactured housing loans, high yield bonds, and bank loans.
The system allows you to manually add the following ABS securities using the Mortgage Backed Security panel:
- Certificates for Automotive Receivables (CARs)
- Certificates of Amortizing Revolving Debt (CARDs)
The system uses the value in the Processing Security Type field on the Mortgage Backed Security panel to identify the type of asset backed security you are adding. To add a Certificate for Automotive Receivables (CAR), select DBFBAL (Factor Based Debt Instrument Auto Loan) from the Processing Security Type drop down list. To add a Certificate of Amortizing Revolving Debt (CARD), select DBFBCC (Factor Based Debt Instrument Credit Card) from the Processing Security Type drop down list.
About TBAs
In the Mortgage Backed Security panel, you can manually add a TBA security. A TBA is an underlying contract on a mortgage backed security to buy or sell a mortgage backed security which will be delivered at an agreed-upon date in the future. The name comes from the fact that the number of pools or precise amount to be delivered is still unknown. The system allows you to book TBAs and process allocations to the underlying pools once they are known.
The system uses the value in the Processing Security Type field on the Mortgage Backed Security panel to identify the type of MBS security you are adding. To add a TBA security, select DBTATA (TBA Security) from the Processing Security Type drop down list.
About CMOs
In the Mortgage Backed Security panel, you can manually add a collateralized mortgage obligation (CMO). CMOs are designed to redistribute the cash flows (interest and principal) of mortgage related products to different bond classes. Redirecting the cash flows to different bond classes, called tranches, mitigates different forms of prepayment risk. CMOs are also referred to as REMICs (Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduit).
The system uses the value in the Processing Security Type field on the Mortgage Backed Security panel to identify the type of MBS security you are adding. To add a CMO, select DBFBFB (Factor Based Debt Instrument) from the Processing Security Type drop down list and enter a value for the CMO First Principal Repayment Date field.
About IOs/POs
In the Mortgage Backed Security panel, you can manually add stripped mortgage backed securities, including interest only (IO) mortgage strips and principal only (PO) mortgage strips. Strip stands for Separate Trading of Registered Interest and Principal of Securities.
An IO mortgage strip is a type of stripped MBS security that has no par value. In contrast to the PO investor, the IO investor wants prepayments to be slow because the IO investor receives interest only on the dollar amount of the principal outstanding. When prepayments are made, less dollar interest will be received as the outstanding principal declines.
A PO mortgage strip is a type of stripped MBS security that is purchased at a substantial discount from par value. The return an investor receives depends on the speed at which prepayments are made. The faster the prepayments, the higher the investor's return.
The system uses the value in the Processing Security Type field on the Mortgage Backed Security panel to identify the type of mortgage backed security you are adding.
To add an IO mortgage strip, select DBFBIO (Interest Only Factor Based Debt Instrument) from the Processing Security Type drop down list and select IO (Interest Only) from the IO/PO Flag drop down list.
To add a PO mortgage strip, select DBFBPO (Principal Only Factor Based Debt Instrument) from the Processing Security Type drop down list and select PO (Principal Only) from the IO/PO Flag drop down list. Additionally, you must select Fixed Rate from the Coupon Type Code drop down list.
About TRAINS
In the Mortgage Backed Security panel, you can manually add a TRAIN security. A TRAIN is an investment trust product comprised of high-yield debt securities. Each certificate holder of the TRAIN is a beneficial owner of a fractional undivided interest in the trust. The TRAIN is a speculative investment, as the expected rating of the certificates is indicative of the non-investment credit standing and high credit risk of the underlying securities in the trust. The TRAIN is treated as a single bond security with an assigned CUSIP and is classified as a restricted security (rule 144a applies) available only to qualified investors.
The system uses the value in the Processing Security Type field on the Mortgage Backed Security panel to identify the type of MBS security you are adding. To add a TRAIN security, select DBIBTR (TRAINS) from the Processing Security Type drop down list.
The Coupon Type Code field has a value of Unscheduled Variable Rate (V) and is read-only. The Payment Frequency Code field has a value of 12-M (Annual) and is hidden and read-only. The Delay Days field is also hidden. The Last Coupon Date field displays the value of the Maturity Date.
About Default Bonds
A default bond is a bond in which the issuer has defaulted on the debt obligations and has filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. The system uses the value in the Default Indicator field to identify a default bond. To add a default bond, select Yes from the Default Indicator drop down list. The system does not process the maturity transaction of the bond at the time of maturity. Specify the date on which the bond went into default in the Default Date field. For more information, see Place a Bond in Default.
