| rhardin | What does II mean? Thanks. |
| jingie | I think prepayments are applied to subs first so they are retired first, thus the proportion of senior to sub increases. |
| joywind | I think what II trying to say is that once there is only prepayment distributed, the proportion of both tranches will change under senior-subordinated structure, since the prepayment amount will be assigned to senior tranche first instead of to both tranches proportionally. |
| joywind | correct the post before: when the prepayment is changing, only when prepayment is slower than expected, senior will receive first, otherwise, the subordinate receive the surplus than expected. But in either way, it is not going to be distributed to both sides proportionally, so the percentage of either side will change. |
| joywind | I am getting myself some trouble here! sorry guys... ignore my second comment there... I think the first post from me should be right. |
Thanks again for your wonderful site ... it definitely made the difference.
