Model Performance - May '06

Prepayment Analysis
by Dan Szakallas

Prepayments took a noticeable dive in April; more so than we expected. The drop was consistent across the board, with the only exception being an increase in GNMA 4.0's. FNMA 30-year discounts (4.5’s to 5.5’s) fell by 10%, 12% and 16% respectively, while the burnt out premiums (7.0’s to 8.0’s) dropped by 12%, 15% and 10%. This pattern was consistent for the FHLMC collateral as well. Prepayments for the GNMA’s fell, but the lower coupon buckets did not experience as much of a drop compared to the current coupons and premiums. For example, GNMA 5.0’s fell by only 7% while GNMA 7.0’s fell by 15%. We show actual pool CPR speeds of selected coupon buckets and corresponding model forecasts in the tables below.
