Prepayment Risk The risk that a borrower will repay a loan before its maturity, depriving the lender of future interest payments. Prepayment risk is most important for callable bonds, in which the issuer may repay the principal and cease paying coupons after a certain date, and mortgage-backed securities, in which the mortgage holder may refinance his/her mortgage, which will result in the security holder losing future interest. Some callable bonds and mortgage-backed securities have structures embedded within them to reduce prepayment risk. See also: Collateralized mortgage obligation, Yield-to-worst, Yield-to-maturity.
