Q

What are ways to measure prepayment

A

Single Monthly Mortality (SMM)

Constant Prepayment Rate - annualized the SMM

Public Securities Association (PSA) - 100% PSA if its CPR starts at 0% and increased by 0.20% each month until it reaches 6% in month 30. After month 30, it remains at a constant 6%, so PSAs will increased by 100% with each 6% increase in CPRs. 12% CPR would be 200% PSA.
