super sinker

    0.10 sec.
Super Sinker
A bond with long-term coupons but a short-term maturity. Super sinkers are usually home-financing bonds that give bondholders their principal back right away if homeowners prepay their mortgages. In other words, mortgage prepayments are used to retire a specified maturity.

Notes:
Super sinkers are likely to be paid off in a relatively short time. As a result, holders may receive the higher long-term yield after only a short period.

super sinker
A housing revenue bond issue in which mortgage prepayments are used to retire a specified maturity. Although this particular maturity is far in the future, the bond is likely to be paid off in a relatively short period. Even though an investor in the specified maturity bond is unsure when the security may be retired, the annual return is likely to be relatively high for a short- to intermediate-term holding period.
