- Synopsis
- Ticonderoga is a small hedge fund that trades in mortgage-backed securities--securities created from pooled mortgage loans. They often appear as straightforward so-called "pass-throughs," but can also be pooled again to create collateral for a mortgage security known as a collateralized mortgage obligation (CMO). CMOs allow cash flows from the underlying pass-throughs to be directed, allowing the creation of different classes of securities--tranches--with different maturities, coupons, and risk profiles. In April 2005, the general managers of Ticonderoga are looking at the market data, trying to construct a trade given their view on the prepayment speed of mortgages vs. the implied prepayment speed they derive from CMOs in the market.
