Ginnie Mae: Government National Mortgage Association Fannie Mae: Federal National Mortgage Association Freddie Mac: Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation
Ginnie Mae is a government owned mortgage association within the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are privately owned, Federally chartered institutions. They are collectively knows as Government Sponsored Enterprises (GSEs).
Secondary Mortgage Markets The Agencies
Institutions The National Housing Act of 1934 (and subsequent amendments)
Created the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) Title II of the Act provides insurance for home loans Title III of the Act chartered mortgage associations that buy and sell insured
FHA (and later) Veterans Administration (VA) loans The Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA) was created in 1938 In 1968, FNMA was separated into two entities:
1. The Government National Mortgage Assocation (GNMA),Ginnie Mae
2. The Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA), Fannie Mae

Guarantees pools of FHA/VA mortgages issued by private lenders
Unconditionally guarantees GNMA investors timely payment of interest
and principal First GNMA MBS issued in Dallas in 1970, retired in 2000 Reached $2 trillion of cumulative issuance in mortgage backed securities
(MBS) on 11/20/2002 Has provided financing for over 27 million households in the US since
its creation in 1968 GNMA obligations are backed by the full faith and credit of the US

Fannie Mae www.fanniemae.com
Chartered by Congress in 1938 to provide a secondary market for
FHA/VA mortgages Partitioned into a separate, privately owned, federally chartered, mortgage
association in 1968, went public in 1970; recently had problems with financial statements (accounting for interest rate hedges using derivatives).
Authorized to purchase conventional (privately insured) mortgages in
1970 Traded on NYSE as FNM and is part of SNP 500. Has provided housing finance for over 58 million US households since
1968.

Freddie Mac www.freddiemac.com
Chartered by Congress in 1970 by the Federal Home Loan Mortgage
Corporation Act (the "Freddie Mac Act") to develop a conventional secondary market; traded on NYSE as FRE.
Buys conventional, graduated payment, and adjustable rate (privately
insured, conforming) mortgages and sells mortgage backed securities Optional Delivery Program: Freddie agrees in advance to purchase a
specified dollar amount of loans at a specified yield. Introduced SWAP Program in 1981: Freddie buys mortgages and
simultaneously sells securities backed by the same mortgages (MBSs more liquid)
Introduced Collateralized Mortgage Obligations (CMOs) in 1983: CMOs
are structured mortgage backed bonds that create different pay classes, or tranches.
Secondary Mortgage Markets The Agencies
Freddie Mac www.freddiemac.com
Freddie Mac's statutory purposes are:
To provide stability in the secondary market for residential mortgages To respond appropriately to the private capital market To provide ongoing assistance to the secondary market for residential markets
(including mortgages on housing for low- and moderate-income families involving a reasonable economic return that may be less than the return earned on other activities)
To promote access to mortgage credit throughout the United States (including
central cities, rural areas and underserved areas) by increasing the liquidity of mortgage investments and improving the distribution of investment capital available for residential mortgage financing.
Secondary Mortgage Markets Non-Agencies
Ginnie Mae, Fannie Mae, and Freddie Mac (The Agencies) concentrate their mortgage packaging activity on conforming, "A" borrower credit rated, owner-occupied, 1-to-4 family property mortgages.
The private sector issues MBSs for "non-conforming" loans
A mortgage can be non-conforming for a variety of reasons:
1. Jumbo loans: loan amounts above the conforming loan limit (currently $417,000 in most states)
2. Investor loans: 1-to-4 family property mortgages for non-owner-occupied homes; single-family properties held for investment
3. Inadequate documentation (e.g. self-employed)
4. Subprime: "B" and "C" rated borrowers (FICO < 620)
5. Home equity loans
6. Second mortgages
7. Manufactured housing mortgages

The US National Debt: Marketable and Intragovernmental
Residential Mortgage Debt Outstanding by Property Type
Pass-through securities: investors receive a pro-rata share of the
interest (net of guarantee and servicing fees) and principal on the underlying mortgages
1. Standard: P & I passed through monthly 2. Modified: P & I passed through quarterly, semi-annually,
annually
Mortgage-backed bonds: principal repaid from mortgages deposited in a sinking fund and repaid to investors in predetermined amounts; interest obligations paid without regard to interest repaid on mortgages
Mortgage pay-through bonds: a hybrid security containing elements of
pass-throughs and mortgage-backed bonds. Like a pass-through, these bonds pass-through principal paid on the underlying mortgages. Like a bond, these securities are debt obligations of the issuer, who pays interest based on the bond's coupon and who retains ownership of the mortgage pool.
Single Class: mortgage loans are packaged into a security where each
investor receives a pro-rata share of all principal (scheduled amortization and unscheduled prepayments) and interest (net of guarantee and servicer fees) paid by the underlying mortgages.
Multiple Class: a mortgage-backed security with different pay classes.
Each pay class, or tranche, is separately tradeable.
Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduits (REMICs) and Collateralized Mortgage Obligations (CMOs) create pay classes with different speeds of principal repayment. The fastest pay class receives coupon interest plus all repaid principal. Most other pay classes receive only coupon interest while the fastest pay class receives all the principal repayment. These MBSs frequently have a zero-coupon tranche.
Stripped Mortgage Backed Security (SMBS): have pay classes that
separate interest cash flows (IO) from principal cash flows (PO).

Modifiable and Combinable Securities (MACS): Striped Giant Securities
are issued in series consisting of one interest only class, one principal only class, and multiple classes that receive both principal and interest with different class coupons, ranging from deep discount to high premium coupons.
Structured Pass-Through Certificates (SPCs): are issued in series
consisting of one or more classes. Each class receives payment from one or more assets. The assets are usually REMIC classes issued by Freddie Mac or another party.

Introduction
With three exceptions, MBS are priced just like corporate bonds. How are corporate bonds priced? Valuation Model: PV of expected future cash flows discounted at the market rate. What cash flows? Coupon interest Par value Yield to maturity: the IRR earned on a bond held to maturity.

Example
$10,000 par value; 10% coupon rate; 20 years to maturity; semiannual payments

Secondary Mortgage MarketsPricing MBS
Exceptions
MBS pass through principal (as well as interest) Underlying mortgages in the pool may not have the same rate,
terms, etc…
MBSs offer little (no?) call protection: prepayment of underlying (single-family) mortgages usually permitted at any time, without prepayment penalty
So, how do you price MBS?
o Expected cash flows? o Discount rate?
Secondary Mortgage MarketsPricing MBS
Example 1
$ 1M GNMA consisting of 20 $50,000 FHA mortgages, each with
o 10% contract rate
o 30 year term with monthly payments
Coupon on GNMA is 9.5%; of the other 50bp
o 6bp goes to GNMA for unconditional guarantee of timely payment of interest and principal
o 44bp goes to servicer for receiving payment and making distributions

Pool Factor: the ratio of the remaining principal balance of a pool to the original principal amount of the entire pool.
Mortgage Balance (of a pass through): the ratio of the remaining
principal balance to the original loan amounts of the outstanding mortgages.
Unconditional Probability of Prepayment (in period t): the ratio of
the number of mortgages that prepay in period t to the number of mortgages originally in the pool.
Conditional Probability of Prepayment (in period t): the ratio of the
number of mortgages that prepay in period t to the number of mortgage in the pool at the beginning of the period.

Some Definitions
Weighted Average Rate: the average mortgage interest rate, weighted by the outstanding principal balances of the outstanding mortgages.
Weighted Average Maturity: the average loan maturity, weighted by the outstanding principal balances of the outstanding mortgages.
Weighted Average Life: the average amount of time that a dollar of principal is expected to be outstanding; the weighted average time to repayment of all principal payouts using the principal repayments as weights.
Half Life: the amount of time until one-half of the principal is repaid.
Duration: the average amount of time that a dollar of cash flow is expected to be outstanding; the weighted average of the payment periods using the PV of the total CFs as weights.

Example 2
A GNMA pool contains 20, 30-year, $50,000 mortgages, each with a 10% fixed mortgage interest rate. Assuming annual payments on the underlying mortgages (to minimize the number of computations), compute the expected cash flows (e.g. fees, investors’ distributions), pool factor, prepayment probabilities, and the various measures of life (WAL, half life, and duration) for the MBS. Assume the loans prepay at the frequencies provided below and that all prepayments occur at the end of the year: Year # Prepaid Year # Prepaid Year # Prepaid 1 2 4 2 7 2 2 4 5 1 8 2 3 3 6 1 9 3
Ginnie Mae Pool: $1,000,000 MBS Discount 9.50% Rate = 20 $50,000 FHA mortgages @ 10.0% for 30 years Year Number of Number of Principal Repayments Total Mortgages Mortgages Principal Prepaid Outstanding Amortization Prepayment

Public Securities Administration (PSA) o Monthly prepayment model o Begins at 0.2%/12 per month o Increases 0.2%/12 per month until month 30 o Remains constant at 0.5% per month (or 6%) per year

This experience resembles the average FHA prepay rates over the 1970-1984 period.

Prepayment Models
The 100% PSA Prepayment Model captures the average prepayment performance of FHA mortgages over the 1970-1984 period.
Expected (and actual) prepayment rates may be very different.
To capture differences, investors “adjust” the PSA prepayment
model by taking percentages of the 100% PSA Prepayment Model
o 50% PSA: about ½ of the 100% PSA prepayments o 200% PSA: about twice the 100% PSA prepayments o 400% PSA: about four times the 100% PSA prepayments
