What Is a Pass-Through Security?<\/h2>

A pass-through security is backed by one or more income generating assets. A servicing intermediary collects the monthly payments from the issuer\/s and, after deducting a fee, remits or passes them through to the holders of the pass-through security (that is, the investors).<\/p>

A pass-through security is also known as a “pay-through security” or a “pass-through certificate<\/u>“\u2014though technically the certificate is the evidence of interest or participation in the income generating asset\/s that signifies the transfer of payments to investors; it’s not the security itself.<\/p>

Pass-Through Security Explained<\/h2>

A pass-through security is a derivative based on certain royalties or debt receivables that provides the investor a right to a portion of those incomes. Often, the royalties or debt receivables are from underlying asset\/s, which can include things such as movies or music royalty streams, mortgages on homes or loans on vehicles. Each security can represents a large number of revenue streams, such as hundreds of royalty streams, home mortgages or thousands of car loans.<\/p>

The term “pass-through” relates to the transaction process itself, whether it involves any revenue asset. It originates with the issuer or debtor payment, which passes through an intermediary<\/a> before being released to the investor.<\/p>

Payments are made to investors on a periodic basis, corresponding with the standard payment schedules for royalty payments or debt repayment. The payments can include a portion of the interest on the unpaid principal, another portion that goes toward the principal<\/u> itself for amortization purpose or none of these and be simply a variable royalty stream.<\/p>

Risks of Pass-Through Securities<\/h2>

The risk of default on the debts associated with the securities is an ever-present factor, as failure to pay on the debtor\u2019s part results in lower returns. Should enough debtors default, the securities can essentially lose all value.<\/p>

Another risk is tied directly to current interest rates. If interest rates fall, there is a higher likelihood that current debts may be refinanced to take advantage of the low-interest rates. This results in smaller interest payments, which mean lower returns for the investors of pass-through securities.<\/p>

Prepayment on the part of the debtor can also affect return. Should a large number of debtors pay more than minimum payments, the amount of interest accrued on the debt is lower\u2014and of course, it becomes non-existent if the debtor entirely repays the loan ahead of schedule. Ultimately, these prepayments result in lower returns for securities investors. In some instances, loans will have prepayment penalties<\/a> that may offset some of the interest-based losses a prepayment will cause.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
