15yr MBS Speed Profile p. 8 In the prepayment section of the FHN Financial Mortgage Strategy Annual Outlook published last month we presented the key prepayment themes to monitor in 2021, focusing on 30yr conventional and 30yr Ginnie Mae MBS. This analysis expands on that work to include more detail about conventional 15yr MBS and highlight call protection stories that provide prepayment protection at lower prices within the sector. – Alexis Vilimas
Market Update p. 15 Month-to-date, current production 30yr coupons mostly underperformed, while 15yr coupons have shown mixed performance. CMO spreads are unchanged to 4bps tighter. Payups for loan balance spec pools are higher this month. Overall prepayment speeds increased by 7.3% in December. Faster speeds were common throughout the coupon stack due to an exceptionally low rate environment and the additional 3 business days in December. Speeds for the Ginnie Mae sector increased by 10.5%. – Brandon Messing

MORTGAGE STRATEGY MONTHLY | POCKETS OF VALUE IN ACMBS
Executive Summary: The footprint of the Fed on the MBS market is undeniable, but there are still pockets of relative value in the market based on perceptions of prior cycles. The main challenge for investors is not necessarily a lack of value, but rather a lack of investible assets. In this article, we propose some ideas in the Agency CMBS market.
A quick review of the Agency CMBS market reveals a few items of note:
�� There is very little Fannie DUS or Freddie Mac K-certificate paper in the secondary market near par. New issues are invested and “put away” rapidly.
�� There are numerous bonds in these sectors available at very high dollar price premiums, mostly above $110, that also carry slightly wider offered spreads than where new issue is pricing.
�� The Fed has purchased $7.3 billion of Fannie DUS, just shy of $2.0 billion of GNR Project Loan and just over $1.0 billion of Freddie K-Certificate paper since the inception of QE4. Even though the amount of K-cert paper purchased is much less than that of the other two sectors, the “take-up” rate of bonds offered in that sector is ~30%, vs. a take-up rate of ~20% in the other two sectors. In fact, 90% of the K-certificate bond purchases during QE4 have occurred in just three operations on March 31, April 9 and May 12, 2020.
The patterns of Fed purchases in the Fannie DUS market and GNR Project Loan markets have also seen a decline since the early weeks of QE4, but the Fed has been more consistent in those markets. Much of that is due to the fact that the Fannie and Ginnie versions of ACMBS have less natural sponsorship across non-Fed investor mandates due to the single-loan nature of Fannie DUS and the relative lack of convexity benefits in the Ginnie Project Loan space. Furthermore, only structured ACMBS – Freddie K-Certificates and Fannie Mae ACES (structures comprised of DUS pools) – are eligible for Bloomberg ACMBS index inclusion.
Given the relative lack of “benchmark” status for the DUS pool and GNR Project Loan sectors, there are some opportunities there for investors who think that the Fed will be on hold with current policy choices for a longer period of time. A good view of this is displayed in Figure 1 below.

New issue K-certificate and Fannie DUS spreads are in the range of +10 to +20 basis points vs. swaps out to 10 years. A little more roll-down value than that may be found in the 12- and 15-year DUS sectors. In addition, it is very difficult to source secondary paper in those sectors, particularly K-certificates, which makes an investment strategy in that sector even more challenging. Many of the legacy investors in K-certificates and DUS are, however, selling secondary bonds with dollar prices that exceed $110, which investors can onboard with spreads in the range of +30 to +60 basis points vs. swaps.
By contrast, new-issue, near-par GNR Project Loan spreads are in the range of +70 basis points to swaps for a five-year asset at the pricing convention of 15 CPJ. In addition, that spread increases significantly at 25 CPJ and still remains quite attractive vs. super-premium alternatives at 10 CPJ.
The market “convention” is to run GNR Project Loans at 5 CPJ as a worst-case scenario, which would produce only a spread of +15 basis points vs. swaps. However, we do not see that outcome in the current lending environment as very likely at all, even in the case of a significant backup in rates.
There are four main factors that affect GNR Project Loan prepayments:
�� Natural rate incentive.
�� Equity take-out incentive.
�� Involuntary prepayments through defaults/buyouts.
�� Built-in prepayment penalties.
ACMBS spread landscape is highly varied by sector and price.

The first three of these factors are, of course, offset by the last. The market uses a simple 5 CPJ assumption for out-of-the-money prepayments, because it stresses a typical front-sequential bond to a 10-year average life and produces a very tight spread. But there is no basis in fact for this assumption. Unfortunately, the data available to produce reliable prepayment projections for the GNR Project Loan sector is not as reliable as that for the residential market, but the overall results point to much faster prepayments than the worst-case market assumption of 5 CPJ in a backup.
A quick review of actual prepayment rates by vintage bears this out. We review 12-month and 3-month historical CPRs in the charts below. (For the purposes of comparing the CPJ assumption to the CPR output below, it is important to note that for a typical front sequential or shorter passthru, a 5 CPJ produces a very similar average life outcome to 6.2 CPR. )

The chart in Figure 2 above plots the historical 12-month CPR of all GNR Project Loans by vintage vs. GWAC for years 2010 through 2020. Even though it is admittedly a small sample, the data for the years 2010 through 2019 demonstrate a clear pattern of prepayments vs. GWAC. The 2020 vintage, for which significant prepay penalties are still in force, is still in the process of ramping higher and is therefore not included in the regression results. But even that vintage is showing a 12-month historical 10 CPR already.
Prepays by GWAC and vintage show GNR Project Loan speeds to be brisk.

MORTGAGE STRATEGY MONTHLY | POCKETS OF VALUE IN ACMBS
We pulled the x-axis on the left side down to a GWAC of 2.50%, because that is approximately the GWAC of most new deals – priced near par – that are being created currently. If recent patterns hold, the regression analysis suggests that the 2020 vintage will have a 12-month CPR in the low- to mid-20s within a year or two and that, once fully seasoned, the most recently-issued paper should prepay close to 20 CPR. A view of the 3-month historical CPR by GWAC and vintage in Figure 3 below demonstrates that the current lending environment may produce even faster speeds.

Following the regression line to the left based on the ramped 2010-2019 vintages, the most recent 3mo CPR results suggest an even faster eventual prepayment outcome of 25 CPR for newly-minted bonds with GWAC in the 2.50% area in the current rate and lending environment.
So, that is the important question: what characteristics about a future lending environment would possibly lead to a long-term prepay assumption of 5 CPJ for this sector? Obviously, any bond with a GWAC profile that is in-the-money will very likely prepay faster than 10 CPJ, but that is not all.
Even though the data available for GNR Project Loans is not as robust as for residential, we do know that there is a significant equity take-out feature to GNR Project Loans because they are, after all, commercial properties. That means that some borrowers have the incentive to refi and pay the remaining prepayment penalty to take equity out of an appreciated property. One can certainly envision a scenario in which rates rise. But an extreme slowing of long-horizon prepayment expectations for the GNR Project Loan sector would require both materially higher rates AND a slowing of the economy to reduce the equity take-out option for borrowers. In other words, a major stagflation.
Prepays have only become faster lately and suggest lower GWAC speeds will remain elevated.

By contrast, we see the main risk to the GNR PL sector being faster-than-expected, not slower-than-expected, prepays.
This view ties back to the data in Figure 1 above about prepay outcomes and spread/yield results. Fortunately for yield-sensitive investors such as banks, credit unions and insurance companies, the yield profile of near-par GNR Project Loans is not materially different in a very wide variety of prepay profiles. But some investors are concerned about mark-to-market and general extension risk that was experienced in the sector the last time rates were very low in late-2012. (By the way, look at the actual speed results from the 2012 and 2013 vintages in Figures 2 and 3: nowhere near 5 CPR/CPJ. Longer-term, those concerns were misplaced.)
The difference between 5 CPJ and 10 CPJ is significant for most bonds in the GNR Project Loan sector. The results for a typical new issue bond (this is a passthru, but tighter window front-sequentials look similar) is displayed in Figure 4 below.
Figure 4: Yield Table for Typical New-Issue GNR PL at Various LT CPJ/CPR Projections
Source: Bloomberg
In both the 5 CPJ and 10 CPJ scenarios, the yield is essentially 1.21% (better than just about any residential collateral CMO with a GNR label), but the average life and spread profiles are quite different given the now-steeper yield curve. As we demonstrated in Figures 2 and 3 above, we do not subscribe to the 5 CPJ for life outcome, even in a backup. Rather, our cursory review of the GNR PL space suggests that bonds with a GWAC of 2.50% (this one is 2.455%) should prepay around 20-25 CPR as a longer-term trend. Therefore, a spread to swaps in the range of 80-90 basis points is highly probably and we would consider 10 CPJ and 43/N to be a worst-case outcome. Judging by the alternatives presented in Figure 1 above, 43/N to a 7-year average life looks quite attractive.
Although we currently find the best value in the GNR Project Loan space, there is another way to use the ACMBS sector to improve performance: 10yr, new-issue DUS paper, where available. There is likely not much additional spread performance available in the 10/9.5 sector, but there IS convexity and rolldown. And these two factors can produce an advantageous return profile, particularly one that protects the portfolio from too much call risk.
GNR PL yield is not in question, and likely spread quite generous.
January 20, 2021 Page 7 of 18
MORTGAGE STRATEGY MONTHLY | POCKETS OF VALUE IN ACMBS
The simple comparison is a 10/9.5 DUS trading in the low-20s to the N-curve vs. a similar-coupon 30yr passthru, which we display in Figure 5 below. There is a yield give, but the convexity and OAS picks result in a an asymmetrical total return profile that heavily favors the DUS. Furthermore, the roll-down value of the DUS bond in the base case is significant. Even though the yield to maturity is 24 basis points lower for the DUS, the one-year projected total return is 16 basis points better.
Furthermore, most financial institutions are asset-sensitive, meaning they already have plenty of short-duration assets, including cash, that can be deployed in the case of any material backup in rates. However, most investors have less call protection that they might think they do on the balance sheet in case all of the inflation expectations out there right now do not bear themselves out. In that regard, this can be considered a trade to hedge the entire balance sheet. It can also be used in conjunction with the GNR Project Loan idea mentioned above to create a barbell trade with a 1.20% yield locked in vs. a near-zero cost-of-funds for the foreseeable future.

In conclusion, there are no easy ideas out there with the Fed putting so much downward pressure on both rates and yield spreads. However, there are some pockets of relative value in the ACMBS sector for investors who want to buck the trend of long-held and perhaps erroneous assumptions about both extension and inflation risk.
Value in longer DUS paper for the contrarian view.

MORTGAGE STRATEGY MONTHLY | 15YR MBS SPEED PROFILE
Executive Summary: In the prepayment section of the FHN Financial Mortgage Strategy Annual Outlook published last month we presented the key prepayment themes to monitor in 2021, focusing on 30yr conventional and 30yr Ginnie Mae MBS. This analysis expands on that work to include more detail about conventional 15yr MBS and highlight call protection stories that provide prepayment protection at lower prices within the sector.
Last week, average primary mortgage rates increased for the first time in almost two months according to the Freddie Mac Primary Mortgage Market Survey. The 30yr rate increased from its previous record low of 2.65% to 2.79% and the 15yr rate increased from 2.16% to 2.23%. Despite this uptick, overall rates remain very low and we expect prepayment risks to remain elevated in the near term for all agency MBS products.
Treasury yields increased over the past two weeks as the economy is starting to have a more positive outlook on the post-COVID recovery. Mortgage rates, however, increased by less than treasury yields during the same time due to the excess room in the primary-secondary spread, as we discussed in the FHN Financial Mortgage Strategy Annual Outlook. Going forward, the FHN Financial Economic team projects the 10-yr Treasury to peak in 2Q21 at 1.25% but then fall to 0.85% in 3Q21 and finish the year at 0.75%. Additionally, they project the path of the 30yr primary mortgage rate to increase modestly through the 2Q21 to 3.18% before quickly falling to 2.78% in 3Q21 and then to 2.68% in 4Q21.
At current primary mortgage rates, 79% of the 30yr market and 66% of the 15yr market have at least 50bps of incentive to refinance. If rates do continue to increase over the next two quarters as the FHN Financial Economic team predicts over 60% of the 30yr market and 50% of the 15yr market will still have over 50bps of incentive.
Elevated prepayments will keep payups high for call protection in 30yr and 15yr collateral. We have written extensively about alternative forms of convexity and collateral selection strategies in 30yr MBS. Within the 15yr MBS sector, which loan characteristics improve convexity? Do the same bond selection strategies we have written about in 30yr MBS apply to 15yr MBS?
Before examining in more detail the two questions above, it is important to review the current prepay environment and note the relevant prepay themes unique to 15yr MBS. Conventional 15yr MBS speeds increased last year in the aggregate by 80%, from 12.7 CPR to 22.9 CPR. Although 15yr speeds increased by less than 30yr speeds and the speed difference between 15yr and 30yr is at its widest since 2010, absolute prepayment speeds are very fast in both products. Other factors besides the exceptionally low rates contributed to faster speeds last year and will continue to this year across all products. These include a strong media effect, originator capacity, appraisal waivers, and nonbank servicing.

Figure 1- 15yr Speeds Increased by Less than 30yr Speeds
Source: FHN Financial, CPRCDR, and Bloomberg
Both 30yr and 15yr primary mortgage rates have dropped significantly since March 2020 but the spread between them has remained relatively unchanged, near 50bps. The share of conventional issuance in 15yr increased from 10% in 2019 to over 15% in 2020, which indicates 30yr-into-15yr refi behavior. Gross issuance of 15yr paper reached $334 billion in 2020, up $238 billion since 2019. We expect 15yr issuance to remain elevated in a low rate environment as borrowers refinance out of longer-term products into 15yr loans. Curve steepening would also stimulate 30yr to 15yr refinancing because borrowers would be able to obtain a lower rate mortgage in a 15yr product.
15yr MBS speeds increased by 80% since March 2020.

Collateral trends in 15yr MBS new issuance mirrored those of new issuance in 30yr MBS. Both 15yr and 30yr average loan sizes increased by 11% between 2019 and 2020. Average FICO scores in both sectors increased by ten points. Overall appraisal waiver share in 15yr collateral is very similar to the appraisal waiver share in 30yr refi loans, 52% compared to 47%. The speed differences between 15yr loans with appraisal waivers and those with traditional appraisals is comparable to the differences in 30yrs, 6-10 CPR faster. Higher loan sizes, higher credit scores, higher refi share, and higher appraisal waiver share all drive faster prepayment speeds going forward.

Within the 15yr sector, which loan characteristics improve convexity? Figures 4 and 5 show the average 1mo CPR for each specialty loan characteristic by incentive bucket. There is considerable call protection in every characteristic listed. NY loans offer the best call protection in 2.0s and 2.5s, but their speeds are similar to 150k Max in 3.0s and 3.5s. Investor loans provide solid call protection across coupons but the issuance is considerably lighter. Texas, Florida, bank serviced, and low FICO make up the second tier of call protection stories for loans with 6-36 months of seasoning.

15yr Conventional MBS, 6-36 WALA
Source: FHN Financial and CPRCDR
The speed rankings adjust as collateral ages. Investor, NY, and LLB remain the slowest stories. The convexity advantage in higher, low loan balance categories, 175k and 200k Max pools, diminishes significantly as loans 15yr loans age in higher incentive buckets. Texas, Florida, and bank serviced remain close to their previous ranking in 6-36 WALA, while low FICO loses some of its advantage. In seasoned collateral, the call protection is most valuable for loans with 50-150bps incentive.

15yr Conventional MBS, 36+ WALA
Source: FHN Financial and CPRCDR
How much does call protection “cost” in 15yr MBS? Overall, payups for the same call protection stories are lower in 15yr pools than in 30yr pools. Because of the shorter amortization term, much of the principal payments are “hard wired” regardless of prepayment speeds. So changes in prepayment speeds have a smaller impact on 15yr pools versus longer amortization terms. It follows then that if the speed changes are less meaningful that the payups are less. However, we still advocate onboarding less than full-payup forms of call protection in 15yr MBS when available because payups for traditional forms are very high for the sector. Many non-“pure play” characteristics have payups that are LESS THAN HALF of standard convexity story payups and yet only print speeds 5-10 CPR faster for loans in-the-money.
NY, LLB, and Investor pools provide the most call protection.
Convexity advantage diminishes in higher loan balance categories as loans age.

For example, there has been more interest in 15yr 100% Texas pools because they provide call protection but do not demand the high payups of NY pools. In general, Texas pools have lower loan sizes, lower FICOs, and less appraisal waiver usage than other states, all factors that dampen prepayments. Texas also has restrictive laws for refinancing which prevent certain borrowers from refinancing completely during the early months of a loan. According to the Texas Constitution under Section 50(a)(6), borrowers who take out a cash out loan must wait 12 months from the date of the original cash out loan before they can refinance.
The analysis below looks at a 100% Texas pool versus the December 2020 2.0% major pool, FN MA4229. With a 2.73 WAC, the borrowers in the Texas pool have nearly 40bps of rate incentive. Figure 4 shows that Texas loans with 0-50bps incentive print speeds just 10 CPR faster than 100% NY loans. The payup for 100% TX FNCI 2.0s is only 6/32 compared to 26/32 for 100% NY FNCI 2.0s. Essentially, an investor can get half of the call protection, in terms of CPR relative to the universe, for one quarter of the payup. The trade picks yield, spread, OAS, base case TRR, and convexity. The return profile and additional convexity overcomes the modest payup and duration extension.

Adding call protection through offsetting collateral characteristics has also been a popular and effective strategy to add convexity at lower prices. The strategy holds up well in both 30yr and 15yr MBS. Figure 7 displays the s-curve for 150k Max loans serviced by Quicken, a slow loan balance story offset by a fast servicer. The combination of the two provides solid call protection for loans less than 100bps ITM relative to both the 15yr universe and the cheapest-to-deliver proxy. Quicken is the second largest servicer of 15yr mortgages so this is an opportunity to use what the market is offering instead of trying to avoid the name completely.

Below is an example of a trade that takes advantage of this combination. Payups for non-Quicken 15yr 150k Max 1.5-2.0s are 16-24 ticks and 2.5-3 points for 2.5-3.5s. Quicken-serviced 150k Max 2.0s are currently available in the market at a payup of 6/32, which is the same payup as the 100% Texas pool in Figure 6. The trade results are very similar as well, again picking yield, spread, base-case returns, and most importantly, convexity. Also, keep in mind that the Fed currently holds more than 40% of all 15yr 2.0s available to trade. The payup is low enough to rely on the Fed for an exit strategy should the Quicken effect begin to outweigh the loan balance effect.
Offsetting loan characteristics still provide convexity.

To conclude, 15yr speeds increased steadily throughout 2020 and issuance soared due to 30yr to 15yr refinancing. Trends in 15yr MBS new issuance mirrored that of new issuance in 30yr MBS including larger loan sizes, higher FICO scores, and increasing appraisal waiver share. Despite the recent uptick in primary mortgage rates, payups for “pure-play” convexity pools are still near historic highs in both 30yr and 15yr spec pools. For investors wishing to maintain a conservative portfolio posture, 15yr MBS with moderate call protection offers a balanced approach. Specifically there is value in alternative convexity stories such as 100% Texas pools and layering offsetting characteristics.
Good value in offsetting loan stories.
