Management Scenario Assumptions • Adjustments from Rating Agency Assumptions • SBPA fees • Redemption frequency & ordering • Operating distributions • Prepayment recycling • Universal cap and mortgage yield compliance • Foreclosure frequency and loss severity • Future debt issuance • Prepayment Assumptions
Use the OTS Prepayment Model Instead of PSA • Prepayments are derived from interest rates • 3 Factors • Age of the loan • Seasonality – time of the year • Refinance Factor • Compare Market Loan Rates vs. Loan Coupon • Higher Rate Loans Prepay > Lower Rate Loans • Rates fall ---- Prepayments up • Rates rise ---- Prepayments down • % of OTS calibration still necessary
