Balance Change Report

This table displays the balances of the NGNs and legacy assets at different points in time. The balances change due to principal payments and losses on the legacy assets. The legacy assets are complex, the dollar amounts very large, and the economic situation challenging. For example, approximately 1.6 million individual mortgages (among other assets) supported the legacy assets at NGN issuance.

  • Overcollateralization = (Ending Securitized Legacy Asset Balance - Cumulative Implied Writedowns in Securitized Assets - Ending NGN Balance + Funds Held by Trustee) / Ending NGN Balance.
  • Numbers are rounded for presentation purposes. This may lead to totals that appear not to be the sum of their displayed components.
  • Each column represents an entire calendar year with the exception of 2020, which is only through Q2.
  • The next update will occur by April 2021.
