FRMs and Lender ConsiderationsFRMs and Lender Considerations
• Maturity gap Banks borrow short and lend long
• Lenders assume all interest rate risks in a FRM contract Unexpected change in the risk-free interest
rates• Inflation and real rate
Uncertainty about risk premia• Credit spread• Liquidity premium
• In high inflation environment, CPM hard to qualify due to mortgage “tilt effect”

• PLAM helps the lender to deal with inflation risk
• Mortgage balance and payments go up at the rate of inflation
• New payment computed using adjusted balance Interest rate constant

Shared Appreciation MortgageShared Appreciation Mortgage• Lender agrees to lower mortgage rate and
participates in property appreciation as a compensation Appreciation shared upon home sales or mortgage
maturity Lender does not share depreciation
• Example 8% FRM plus 50% of the appreciation vs. 10% FRM with no shared appreciation
• Q: At 4% inflation, what are the expected yields at 10 year expected stay? Assuming all loans are interest-only with 10 year
term at 80% LTV

Adjustable Rate MortgagesAdjustable Rate Mortgages
• Hybrid ARMs (3/1, 5/1, 7/1, and 10/1) Longer initial reset period Interest Only Hybrid ARM
• I.O. for initial reset period
• I.O. Option ARM Borrower choice
• Pay interest only
• Pay interest & some principal
• Pay less than interest: negative amortization typically specifies maximum negative amortization allowed
• Fully amortizing payments required in future

ARMs and Interest Rate RisksARMs and Interest Rate Risks
• As the lender assumes less interest rate risk, the borrower assumes more interest rate risk Lender passes fluctuation in costs of funds to
the borrower
• ARMs do not eliminate all interest rate risks for the lenders

ARMs - Other Considerations ContinuedARMs - Other Considerations Continued
• Short term indices are riskier to borrowers than long term indices
• Shorter adjustment periods are riskier to borrowers
• Caps on payment / interest rate adjustments favor the borrower
• Small floors favor the lender• Negative amortization is risky for the lender

ARMs - Other ConsiderationsARMs - Other Considerations
• From the perspective of a lender, relative to FRMs, for ARMS: Interest rate risk is lower Default risk is higher Total risk premium is (usually) lower
• At time of origination, the expected yield on an ARM is usually lower than on a FRM

• If the expected interest rates in year 2-5 are 10%, 13%, 15%, and 10%, and the three ARMs have starting interest rates of 8%, 9% and 11%, what are the payments and mortgage balances?
• Q: Why is the payment in year 5 different from year 2 for the 1st ARM?

Example ContinuedExample Continued
• APR for ARMs assumes that the future index rate over the life of the ARM will be the same as the index at origination.
• Q: What is the APR for the 1st ARM?
• Q: Can APR be lower than introductory rate for ARM? If so when?
• Q: What is the effective yield/cost for the mortgages if the borrower stays 5 years?
