Question: 1 / 400

What is a characteristic of mortgaged-backed securities (MBS)?

Can only be sold by the federal government

Are secured by a single mortgage

Are bundles of mortgages sold as investments

Mortgage-backed securities (MBS) are bundles of mortgages sold as investments. This means they are composed of multiple mortgages pooled together and investors can purchase a share of the bundle. This diversifies the risk for investors instead of having only a single mortgage to rely on. The other options are incorrect because A) Mortgage-backed securities can be sold by any financial institution, not just the federal government. B) MBS are secured by a pool of mortgages, not just a single mortgage. D) MBS can be sold in both the primary market (when a new security is issued) and the secondary market (when an existing security is bought and sold between investors).
