一种抵押支持的安全orMBSis an asset that is secured by a group of mortgages. This process is made possible through securitization. Mortgage-backed securities are split into tranches, all with different interest rates and risk.

抵押贷款支持的证券允许来自世界各地的投资者进入特定的房屋抵押贷款市场,其中最大的是美国。

投资者有效地向房主贷款,并通过房主的抵押贷款付款。投资者的风险是,房主不符合抵押贷款,违约,因此投资者拥有的资产一文不值。

另一个关键特性的抵押贷款的安全性y is that it is a pool of mortgages which theoretically reduces risk. Rather than take on the risk of one homeowner's mortgage payments,MBS's pool hundreds and thousands of mortgages together so even when some default, the majority which do not default will more than make up the difference.

不幸的是,这种理论上的风险降低以及创造抵押证券的费用导致抵押贷款发起人和投资者开始发行 /购买质量较差的贷款。

抵押支持证券的问题在于它们高度依赖房屋的价格。只要房价不断上涨,人们就会继续支付抵押贷款并为房屋再融资。但是,一旦房屋的价值开始下降,所有者就会默认(因为这样做没有真正的罚款)MBSwill lose value.
