medium · Asset-Backed Securities
In a Master Trust structure for credit cards, a series enters a 12-month 'controlled accumulation period'.
How does this specifically affect the WAL of the bond compared to a rapid amortization event?
- It shortens the WAL because the accumulation is 'controlled' and efficient.
- It has no effect on WAL because the principal is collected at the same rate.
- It makes the WAL negative because interest continues to accrue.
- It extends the WAL by delaying principal return to a single bullet payment at the end.
