CMO Bonds

Collateralized Mortgage Obligations differ from pass through securities in that they have different types of paying bonds within the CMO. There are many types and tranches to evaluate - each with it's own bond risk.

A CMO has different payment timing risk depending on the type of bond you own. Some offer more protection than others from prepayment or extension risk. These bonds have a more predicatable duration to the bondholder vs. a pass through agency bond. Some CMO's can pay off faster than others.
