What are Mortgage Securities ?
? A number of mortgage loans - from a few dozen to more than 10,000 - are pooled;
? Each loan pays interest and principal until it matures, is prepaid, or goes into default;
? Cashflows from the loans are paid to investors, after subtraction of administrative (or servicing) fees;
? Cashflows are either simply passed on to investors (passthrough securities) or allocated according to specified rules (structured securities, such as Collateralized Mortgage Obligations (CMOs).
