2.12.1. Mortgage-Backed Securities

A mortgage-backed security (MBS) is a bond backed by the mortgage payments of a pool of mortgages. From an investor’s perspective, an MBS is similar to any other kind of bond, except instead of receiving a fixed coupon payment, the investor receives monthly interest payments that vary depending on how quickly homeowners pay off their mortgages.

TESTIMONIALS

What are people saying?

Passed SIE on the first attempt! The multi-prong study approach Solomon puts together - read, take notes, watch videos, practice tests, review - is very effective. By the time I had worked through the plan and used the reports to bolster my weak areas, I walked into the test center with high confidence. It took a lot of time and was hard work, but the test plan and materials made it possible.

I studied for both the SIE and the Series 99 with Solomon. Both texts more than prepared me for the exam. The practice questions in particular were extremely helpful and were even a bit more challenging than the actual exams. After reading and annotating both textbooks twice and taking each quiz multiple times to the point that I received high scores on each, I was confident taking the exam. Although there were a few questions here and there on the exams that seemed to be outside the scope of the material and had some differently worded questions, the quiz questions were quite in line with the actual exam. I passed both exams my first try. I highly recommend Solomon study material.

Excellent! The Solomon curriculum prepared me well enough to make me feel comfortable during the actual exam. Practice questions and mock exams were challenging enough to test my knowledge but not too challenging to the point where I was discouraged.

After failing the Securities Industry Essentials Exam twice I was all but ready to give up. Then I used Solomon Exam Prep material which help me to pass the exam. I had a blast using their learning platform and would highly recommend it to anyone!

Thank you so much Solomon Prep for helping me to be able to successfully pass all three of my exams (SIE, Series 7 and Series 66) in a relatively short period of time. The exam packages were excellent! I will continue to refer people to your amazing program!

Soloman's practice exams are a powerful tool! Just passed SIE - will be looking to use their other content for the top-off exams very soon. Thank you!
