Can you please list the MORTGAGE SECURITY RISKS?

How to hedge the prepayment risk(rate has risen/fallen)?

This is just a review exercise, but we may find something to clearify.

3) can tie prepayment risk to rate risk risk (eg rates down, pp risk up) and take a position in a relevant rate option.
4) you can attribute an amount of the vol risk to rates vol, and again take a position in a relevant instrument (vanilla option, vol swaps etc). the component that really relates to collateral quality, you can't really hedge. you could take a position in a related index (cmbx/primex) (essentially a credit vol) but the market is thin, and its not a great hedge against vol (more a hedge against the collateral quality itself, ie a delta hedge)
5) no hedge

also 2) swaps to hedge any floating coupons

here is the acronym, courtesy of sticky

SIMPLY (but with the L changed to V)

S = Spread risk
I = Interest rate risk
M = Model risk
P = Prepayment risk
V = Volatility risk
Y = Yield curve risk
