Series 65: Collateralized Mortgage Obligations

Taken from our Series 65 Online Guide

Collateralized Mortgage Obligations

Collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs) are another type of asset-backed security. CMOs are pass-through securities that are issued by a GSE or a private sector financing corporation and are often backed by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and Ginnie Mae. They often are rated AAA.

Unlike a traditional MBS that has one coupon rate and maturity date, a CMO offers a range of coupon rates and maturity dates for investors to choose from. The monthly payments from the CMO will be a combination of varying amounts of both interest and principal. Therefore, the CMO investor’s principal is returned over the life of the security rather than repaid in a single lump sum at maturity a

I passed the 63 and 65 the practice questions are much more difficult than the actual exam. I would recommend this program to anyone who needs to be challenged and wants to pass the first time out.

David Lewis, Northwestern Mutual, New York, NY

I have passed the SIE, Series 63, and Series 65 all on the 1st attempt. Thank you Solomon Exam Prep! The practice tests are great and really prepare you for the real exam.

I'm an auditory learner. Ordering the audio files was most helpful and I passed today with no worries.

Michael Freemire, Cambridge Advisors, Englewood, CO

I passed the Series 65 on the first try and I would absolutely give credit to this tool. We all learn in vastly different ways, so having the options available for a study guide, audiobook, video training, flash cards, practice tests - and ALL of the other resources available was critical to my success. I've been out of school for over a decade and remembering HOW to study was hard. I'm so glad I had all of these options.

My name is Michael Urbanski, CPA and I was able to pass the Series 65 exam on my first attempt. For me, I like to study from all the credible resources I can find. Using exam simulators and exposing yourself to as many sample exam questions helps to learn how an exam is written. I would recommend using these materials to help YOU pass the exams you chose to sit for.

Michael Urbanski, CPA Toledo, OH

Just wanted you to know, I passed the Series 65 exam on the first attempt. Your book was easy and enjoyable to read, all of the important information was very well explained. But I found your online quizzes and exams extremely helpful in getting the material entrenched in my memory. I was very comfortable with the format and wording of the questions on the actual exam after drilling with your online program. Thank you for enabling me to move to the next level of my career.
