The stochastic HPA model has been integrated with Citi’s prepayment, default, term structure, and MOATS models and can be used to calculate credit-adjusted option-adjusted spread (OAS) for non-agency mortgage-backed securities and loans. The credit-adjusted OAS model is available to users via the Yield Book.TOPICS: MBS and residential mortgage loans, credit risk management, factor-based models
