Abstract
Specified pools are agency mortgage-backed securities whose loan pools have been found to exhibit different (i.e., superior or inferior to) convexity relative to generic to-be-announced pools. In this article, the authors describe the various sectors of the specified pool market, the convexity profile of the sectors of the specified pool market, and the monitoring of specified pool prepayment differentials.
