The Valuation Mortgaged-Backed Securities

by William W. Bartlett

Here is the first user-friendly guide to valuing mortgage-backed securities in the new prepayment environment. William Bartlett offers specific guidelines for making informed decisions, focusing on the questions to ask before pursuing high-stated yield with bond classes and derivatives that may not perform well in volatile markets. The Valuation of Mortgage-Backed Securties explores: the econometric models--such as prepayment and OAS models--used by Wall Street firms to project the performance of specific MBS bond types; the many varieties of mortgage-backed securities, including those with protection features against early prepayment, default, refinancing and first calls on cash flows; how to determine which MBS issue may be appropriate for a specific portfolio objective.
