Overview: A mortgage-backed security (MBS) is a security that is based on a pool of underlying mortgages. MBS are usually based on mortgages that are guaranteed by a government agency for payment of principal and a guarantee of timely payment. The analysis of MBS concentrates on the nature of the underlying payment stream, particularly the prepayments of principal prior to maturity. Investors were still wary of the "timely payment" issue, since the process of collecting on a defaulted loan was a lengthy affair. This meant they lost the use of their money and the interest it could earn for a lengthy period, although they eventually collected their principal and accrued interest. This article deals with equities.
