What Our Members Say
Collateralized Mortgage Obligations
Learning about **Collateralized Mortgage Obligations (CMOs)** was eye-opening! I discovered how **PAC Bonds** offer both **contraction and extension risk protection**, while **TAC Bonds** only guard against prepayment risk. **Support Bonds** absorb prepayment fluctuations, and **Sequential Pay Bonds** see yields drop when prepayments rise. **Z-Tranches** defer interest payments until other tranches are paid off, making them more sensitive to interest rate changes. **REMICs** improved CMOs by eliminating **double taxation**, making them more attractive to investors. For those seeking **stable cash flows**, **VADM Bonds** seem like the best choice. Overall, understanding CMO structures helps in making smarter investment decisions! 😊Co Muhammad Ramzan Shaukat
