Sample Questions

Question 1
A mortgage company holds a significant portfolio of Mortgage Servicing Rights (MSRs) and has implemented a corresponding hedging strategy. If market interest rates experience a sudden and sharp decline of 100 basis points, what is the most likely combined impact on the MSR portfolio and its hedge?
The MSR value will increase due to higher potential servicing income, and the hedge value will decrease.
The MSR value will decrease due to increased prepayment risk, and the hedge value will increase.
Both the MSR and hedge values will decrease due to general market volatility.
Both the MSR and hedge values will increase as they are designed to be positively correlated.
Question 2
A portfolio manager for a large bank holds a substantial portfolio of newly originated, high-quality jumbo mortgages. To reduce the bank's regulatory capital requirements and mitigate credit default risk without selling the actual loans, which of the following strategies would be most effective?
Increasing the interest rates on all the loans in the existing portfolio.
Securitizing the loans and selling them on a servicing-released basis.
Executing a Credit Risk Transfer (CRT) transaction with institutional investors.
Purchasing a portfolio-wide life insurance policy on all borrowers.
Question 3
In evaluating portfolio performance, a manager wants to compare different asset classes (e.g., QM, Non-QM, FHA) by considering not just their returns, but also the amount of economic capital required to support the risk of each asset class. Which performance metric is most appropriate for this type of analysis?
Net Interest Margin (NIM)
Return on Assets (ROA)
Efficiency Ratio
Risk-Adjusted Return on Capital (RAROC)
Question 4
A mortgage bank's secondary marketing department has a large pipeline of locked loans funded by a warehouse line of credit. The warehouse lender, concerned about market stability, unexpectedly increases the 'haircut' from 2% to 5% for all loan types. What is the most immediate and critical consequence for the bank?
A significant increase in the bank's immediate liquidity requirement.
A decrease in the credit quality of the loan pipeline.
An automatic increase in the interest rate offered to borrowers on locked loans.
A violation of the TRID rule for all loans in the pipeline.
Question 5
A depository institution holds a large portfolio of 30-year fixed-rate mortgages as assets, while its primary liabilities are short-term customer deposits. If the central bank signals a sustained period of rising interest rates, what is the primary asset-liability management (ALM) risk the institution faces?
Prepayment risk, as borrowers will rush to pay off their low-rate mortgages.
Credit risk, as borrowers will be more likely to default in a high-rate environment.
Net interest margin (NIM) compression due to a duration mismatch.
Operational risk from handling an increased volume of customer inquiries.
