Model Performance - November '06

The New ARM Model Delivers
by Dan Szakallas

This month we take a look at the performance of Andrew Davidson & Co.’s new ARM prepayment model for the month of October. This model, version 5.2a, was officially released in early October. As previously discussed, this model has a brand-new functional form and incorporates many new features to capture prepayment behavior specific to adjustable-rate products. We are going to focus on FHLMC hybrids, specifically 3/1’s, 5/1’s, 7/1’s and 10/1’s, indexed to both the 1-year Treasury and the 1-year LIBOR. New dynamic performance reports that generated these numbers will be available on our website in the first week of December.
