A 'Z-Bond' (Accrual Bond) in a CMO structure is unique because it:
- Guarantees a fixed prepayment speed to the investor.
- Pays only principal and no interest for its entire life.
- Accrues interest but does not pay it out until senior tranches are retired.
- Is the only tranche that is not rated by an agency.
