A Mortgage-Backed Security (MBS) is an investment similar to a bond that is made up of a bundle of mortgage loans bought from the banks that issued them. Investors in MBS receive periodic payments similar to bond coupon payments.
Mortgage-backed securities (MBS) turn a bank into an intermediary between the homebuyer and the investment industry.
The bank handles the loans and then sells them at a discount to be packaged as MBSs to investors as a type of collateralized bond.
For the investor, an MBS is as safe as the mortgage loans that back it up.
