The following information is about Half Life.
Half Life Defined
Point in time when the principal on a mortgage backed security (issued or guaranteed by the Government National Mortgage Association, the Federal National Mortgage Association, or the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Association) has been repaid. It is presumed that the security has a half life of 12 years. However, depending on interest rate trends, specific mortgage pools can have longer or shorter half lives. If interest rates rise, homeowners will hold onto their mortgages longer than predicted, and half lives will rise. If interest rates fall, more homeowners will refinance their mortgages. Thus, principal will be paid off more quickly, and half lives will drop.
