In summation, an MBS is an investment representing ownership of an undivided interest of a group of similar mortgages. The principal payment and the interest from each individual mortgage are used to pay the principal and interest on the MBS. MBS free up capital for banks and lenders, allowing them to acquire more business and allowing more individuals to acquire a mortgage. For investors, MBS represent a fairly low-risk investment with a return that is higher in comparison to other low-risk investments.
