Question
With regards to agencies pools and TBAs, since these are not really tranche product because they are backed by the US government, should they be considered more like a non securitized product rather than securitized product under the SBA?
Background on the question
Under the US NPR, the Fed has indicated that because the credit risk is to the agency and not the pool, the tranching doesn't count for CSR purposes, and thus the proper risk class to calculate is CSR_NS (not CSR_SNC). Under the CRR, speicifcally for securitisation, there is no distinction between agency and non-agency mortgages in the EBA's treatment.
