Structured finance
Modeling a mortgage securitization from collateral to tranche.
Cash-flow waterfalls, pro-forma statements and rating-methodology analysis for a rental-property mortgage securitization.
The question
A rental-property mortgage securitization required analysis of how underlying loan cash flows translated into the structure’s financial statements and tranche economics.
Adam’s work
Adam developed real estate mortgage investment conduit (REMIC) waterfall models and pro-forma financial statements. He analyzed the methodology used to estimate the highest-rated tranche’s advance rate and compared approaches across five rating agencies.
The contribution
The work translated collateral and structural assumptions into modeled cash flows and an analysis of tranche advance rates. It connected the transaction’s financial structure to the assumptions behind the rating analysis.
