hard · Asset-Backed Securities
In a shifting interest RMBS structure, the senior tranches are protected by a 'lockout' period where they receive 100% of prepayments.
If the deal is in month 42 and meets its 'Step-down' criteria, but the 60+ day delinquency rate hits 18% against a trigger threshold of 15%, how are prepayments allocated?
- 100% of prepayments are diverted to the senior tranches.
- Prepayments are distributed pro-rata between senior and subordinate classes.
- 70% of prepayments are allocated to the senior tranches, with 30% to subordinates.
- Prepayments are trapped in a reserve account to rebuild overcollateralization.
