FNMA 4.0% bond UP...what is it?


FNMA 4.0% bond is still on the rise and trading at $102.47 currently.  

What is it?  The FNMA 4.0% bond represents a little "piece" of a mortgage that has been securitized by Fannie Mae.  

When investors are offered a 4.0% bond, it generally represents a mortgage that was given to a borrower at about 1/2 to 5/8 of a point higher.  The mortgages "securitized" today were "opened" by their borrowers "closing" them a few months ago.

Here is an in depth explanation for the process of getting loans to the secondary market. 


Cheers!

Chad
