The last column in Exhibit 2 is computed as:
Practical pay-up = Theoretical pay-up (next month
settlement) -
[Theoretical pay-up (7 months settlement)]*[Amortization factor]*[Discounting]
Pool abc123 draws its pay-up from being early on the age ramp;
in 7 months there will be little difference between it and TBA.
In contrast, pool xyz123 has low balances; its forward pay-up is
still essential, though perhaps limited due to the steep forward
curve making refinancing differences less important. In the end,
a pool with seemingly higher theoretical pay-up may end up with
a lower practical pay-up. Once again, we emphasize the knowledge
of horizon as the key entry to this practical pay-up analysis.
The entire analysis, including processing massive dealer offerings,
can be done fairly quickly using AD&Co OAS version 5.2b.
