WHY is this statment wrong? period, assets, security, received, principal

BC_MBA_student

All principal repayments from the collateral are distributed as received to the security holders for amortising assets, but only after the lockout period for non-amoirtising assets,

thanks

Bingo. Under special circumstances, the lockout period can end early and principal repayment beings. So it is incorrect to say it only happens after the lockout period.

If I am not mistaken the only place the statement is incorrect is about the "non-amortizing assets". The principal payments can be made prior to lockout if certain conditions occur like
insurer call,specific date is reached, collateral value falls below certain amount, latter of call or date etc (there was another related to spreads mentioned in the section related to credit card backed loans).

I guess the trick is to know that

the collateral structure for amortizing ABS does NOT change structure

but non amortizing (credit card) does change (during the lockout period).....think of your credit card statement....it's always changing

ninja1024

for amortizing securities, the collateral repayments are "usually" reinvested depending on the type of ABS (i.e. credit card A/R need to be replensihed refequently to keep the collateral pool a certain size)..

oddly worded question if you ask me
