Mortgages and Mortgage-Backed Securities

• Mortgages are loans to individuals or businesses to purchase homes, land, or other real property

• Many mortgages are securitized– mortgages are packaged and sold as assets backing publicly

traded or privately held debt instruments (i.e., mortgage-backed securities (MBSs))

• Mortgages differ from bonds and stocks– mortgages are backed by a specific piece of real property– primary mortgages have no set size or denomination– primary mortgages generally involve only a single investor– comparatively little information exists on mortgage borrowers

Mortgage Characteristics

• Collateral: lenders place liens against properties that remain in place until loans are fully paid off

• A down payment is a portion of the purchase price of the property a financial institution requires the borrower to pay up front– private mortgage insurance (PMI) is generally required when

the loan-to-value ratio is more than 80%

• Federally insured mortgages– repayment is guaranteed by either the Federal Housing

Administration (FHA) or the Veterans Administration (VA)

• Conventional mortgages are mortgages that are not federally insured

• Amortized mortgages have fixed principal and interest payments that fully pay off the mortgage by its maturity date– fully amortized mortgage maturities are usually either 15 or 30

years

• Balloon payment mortgages require fixed monthly interest payments for 3 to 5 years whereupon full payment of the mortgage principal is due

Mortgage Characteristics

• Fixed-rate mortgages lock in the borrower’s interest rate– required monthly payments are fixed over the life of the mortgage– lenders assume interest rate risk

• Adjustable-rate mortgages (ARMs) tie the borrower’s interest rate to some market interest rate or interest rate index– required monthly payments can change over the life of the

mortgage– yearly interest rate changes are often capped– borrowers assume interest rate risk– ARMs can increase default risk

Mortgage Characteristics

• Discount points are fees or payments made when a mortgage loan is issued– each point costs the borrower 1 percent of the principal value– the lender reduces the interest rate used to determine the payments

on the mortgage in exchange for points paid• Other fees

– application fee– title search– title insurance– appraisal fee– loan origination fee– closing agent and review fees– other fees (e.g., VA or FHA loan guarantees and PMI)

Mortgage Characteristics

• Mortgage refinancing– when a borrower takes out a new mortgage and uses the

proceeds to pay off an existing mortgage– mortgages are most often refinanced when an existing

mortgage has a higher interest rate than prevailing rates– borrowers must balance the savings of a lower monthly

payment with the costs (fees) of refinancing– an often-cited rule of thumb is that the new interest rate

should be 2 percentage points less than the refinanced mortgage rate

Mortgage Amortization

• Each fixed monthly payment consists partly of repayment of the principal and partly of the interest on the outstanding mortgage balance

• An amortization schedule shows how the fixed monthly payments are split between principal and interest

Mortgage Payments

• The present value of a mortgage can be written as:

PV = principal amount borrowed

PMT = monthly mortgage payment

PVIFA = present value interest factor of an annuity

r = monthly interest rate on the mortgage

t = number of monthly payments over the life of the mortgage

• Rearrange to isolate the payment:

Secondary Mortgage Markets

• FIs remove mortgages from their balance sheets through one of two mechanisms– by pooling recently originated mortgages together and

selling them in the secondary market– by securitizing mortgages (i.e., by issuing securities

backed by newly originated mortgages)

• Advantages of securitization– FIs can reduce the liquidity risk, interest rate risk, and

credit risk of their loan portfolios– FIs generate income from origination and service fees

Secondary Mortgage Markets

• The U.S. government established the Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA or Fannie Mae) in the 1930s to buy mortgages from thrifts so they could make more mortgage loans

• FHA and VA insured loans make securitization easier • Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA

or “Ginnie Mae”) and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corp. (FHLMC or “Freddie Mac”) created in the 1960s – encouraged continued expansion of the housing market– provided direct and indirect guarantees that allow for the creation

of mortgage-backed securities

Mortgage Sales

• FIs have sold mortgages among themselves for over 100 years

• A large part of correspondent banking involves small banks selling parts of large loans to larger banks

• Large banks often sell parts of their loans (i.e., participations) to smaller banks

• Mortgage sales occur when an FI originates a mortgage and sells it to an outside buyer– a loan sale is made with recourse if the loan buyer can sell the

loan back to the originator should it go bad

Mortgage Sales

• Mortgage sellers: money center banks, smaller banks, foreign banks, investment banks

• Mortgage sales allow FIs to manage credit risk, achieve better asset diversification, and improve their liquidity and interest rate risk positions

• FIs are encouraged to sell loans for economic and regulatory reasons– sold mortgages can still generate fee income for the bank– sold mortgages reduce the cost of reserve and capital requirements

• Mortgage buyers: foreign and domestic banks, insurance companies, pension funds, closed-end bank loan mutual funds, and nonfinancial corporations

Mortgage Backed Securities

• Pass-through securities “pass through” promised principal and interest payments to investors

• Three agencies are directly involved in the creation of pass-through securities– Ginnie Mae– Fannie Mae– Freddie Mac

• Private mortgage pass-through issuers create pass-throughs from nonconforming mortgages

• Pass-through securities “pass through” promised principal and interest payments to investors

Mortgage Backed Securities

• Collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs) are multiclass pass-throughs with multiple bond holder classes or tranches– each bond holder class has a different guaranteed coupon– mortgage prepayments retire only one tranche at a time, so all

other trances are sequentially prepayment protected

• Mortgage backed bonds (MBBs)– MBBs allow FIs to raise long-term low-cost funds without

removing mortgages from their balance sheets– a group of mortgage assets is pledged as collateral against a MBB

issue, but there is no direct link between the cash flows of the mortgages and the cash flows on the MBB

International Trends in Securitization

• Foreign investors participate in U.S. mortgage and MBS markets, but the value held has decreased since 1992

market, followed by Germany

– the advent of the Euro has accentuated the increased trend in securitization in Europe

• Mortgage lending has grown in Russia since the early 2000s because of changes in property ownership laws
