CMO:  Low Extension

Collateralized Mortgage Obligations, (CMO’s), were created to refine principal payments on mortgage-backed securities.

The ‘sequential’ was the first CMO structure produced. This structure exists for investors that prefer principal payments in short, intermediate or long term cash flows.  Cash flow portions were given the name “tranche”, a French word for slice, or portion. The first tranche has the shortest weighted-average life, (WAL), with the lowest extension risk. Medium and long term tranches do not receive pre-payments until previous tranches are paid out.

An attractive CMO is FHR 4368 HB, a Freddie Mac seasoned sequential tranche of 20 year loans from 2014. As part of the first group of pre-payments it has a final maturity of 2032. The base case WAL is 2.21 years and the extension is low with the WAL projected to 2.61 years in the +300 bp scenario.  In addition the base case yield is 2.921% at +40 bp to the curve.

The yield table and projected cash flow tables are below.
