medium · Asset-Backed Securities asset-nuances

A 10-year CMBS Interest-Only (IO) strip is being valued. If a large number of loans in the pool are 'defeased' using Treasury securities, how does this typically impact the IO investor?

  1. The IO strip's coupon is reduced to the Treasury yield
  2. It preserves the IO cash flow and increases credit quality
  3. It triggers the 'Rapid Amortization' of the IO notional
  4. It results in an immediate total loss for the IO holder
