Mortgage-backed securities (M.B.S.) on which registered
holders receive an
aggregate principal and interest payment from a central paying
agent on all of their certificates.
Principal and
interest payments are disbursed on the 20th day of the month.
GNMA-II M.B.S. are backed by multiple-
issuer pools or custom pools (one issuer but different interest rates that may vary within one percentage point).
Multiple-issuer pools are known as "
Jumbos." Jumbo pools are generally longer and offer certain mortgages that are more geographically diverse than single-issuer pools. Jumbo pool mortgage interest rates may vary within one percentage point.
