medium · Asset-Backed Securities collateral

In a sequential principal waterfall, what is the impact of higher-than-expected prepayments on the 'Class B' (subordinate) tranche?

  1. It begins receiving principal distributions immediately alongside Class A
  2. Its Weighted Average Life (WAL) remains largely unchanged while Class A is outstanding.
  3. Its credit support increases automatically each time Class A amortizes further
  4. Its Weighted Average Life shortens significantly right away as soon as prepayment speeds pick up
