100% PSA
The typical mortgage repayment arrangement. The monthly prepayment rate is estimated to be 0.2% per annum in the first month after issuance and to climb by 20 basis points per year per month for the next 28 months in this scenario. The monthly prepayment rate is anticipated to level out at 6% per annum beginning in the 30th month following issuance and to remain at that level for the life of the mortgage pool to which the scenario is applied.
200% PSA
A mortgage prepayment scenario in which prepayments are assumed to be made twice as quickly as in the benchmark mortgage prepayment scenario. The monthly prepayment rate is expected to be 0.4% per year in the first month after issuance and to climb by 40 basis points per year each month for the next 28 months in the 200% PSA scenario. The monthly prepayment rate is anticipated to level out at 12% per year beginning in the 30th month following issuance and to remain at that level for the life of the mortgage pool to which the scenario is applied.
Passing rent

PAUG template
ISDA’s 2005 template for Credit Derivative Transaction on Mortgage-Backed Securities with Pay-As-You-Go or Physical Settlement, as revised. To address trading of ABCDS in North American markets, the PAUG Template adopts the Credit Derivatives Definitions. By the invention of so-called pay-as-you-go settlement of variable amount events, this template solves the settlement and credit concerns associated with CDS referencing MBS and certain forms of ABS more specifically than the CPS Template.

Pay rate
The interest rate paid on a mortgage on a regular basis. The accrual rate may differ.
Paying agent
A bank with a worldwide reputation that is in charge of making payments on commercial mortgage loans. Payment is typically made through a clearing system (in Europe usually through Euroclear or Clearstream International). In Europe, this job is sometimes handled by a third party linked with the trustee or administrator; in the United States, the trustee is normally responsible for making payments to investors.
Payment history
A record of the payments made by a borrower.
Payout event
An early amortisation occurrence.
Perfection
A generic word for the procedure that must be followed in order for a charge holder’s Security to have the intended precedence above the chargor’s other creditors.
Performing loan
A mortgage loan or other debt for which the borrower has made all interest and principal payments on time.
Pfandbriefe
A debt instrument issued by some German mortgage banks and financial organisations. Pfandbriefe are classified into two types: Hypothekenpfandbriefe, which banks use to fund their lending activities, and “Offentliche Pfandbriefe,” which they use to fund their loans to public sector firms.
Phase rent
Rental payments are made without regard for any lease concessions (for example rent free periods).
Pik or pik-able
In-kind payment. CDO Bonds (usually Mezzanine Pieces) that allow the interest to be put off if the issuer doesn’t have enough money from the underlying portfolio of assets to pay the interest on time and in full.
Pledge (US)
A security interest in the Debtor’s or a third party’s property that includes the Creditor’s power to enforce it through a public sale in the event of the Debtor’s default. The authority of the Creditor to levy on pledged property takes precedence over the rights of successive pledge Creditors and unsecured Creditors. While a pledge is a sort of possessory security in which the Creditor has possession of the pledged property, ownership to the pledged property is not transferred to the Creditor.
Plumbing
To repair or cure any securitisation structure leakage.
Pool factor
The amount of the original principal balance of a group of assets that is still owed as of a certain date.
Pooling and servicing agreement
A contract that describes a transaction in which a set number of financial assets are brought together and shows how the cash flows those assets will generate in the future will be split between the parties to the contract. This also tells you what the master servicer and the special servicer are responsible for when it comes to managing a CMBS.
Portfolio
The mix or spread of investments or other assets that an investor, fund, or issuer owns.
Pre-let
A legally binding agreement to rent something out at a future date, when a development that is planned or being built at the time of the agreement is done.
Prepayment interest shortfall
The difference between the interest on the mortgages and the interest on the prepayment. This usually happens when the interest on the prepayment is less than the interest on the mortgages. This shortfall could be given to certain classes of notes, which would be bad for those classes.
Prepayment rate
The rate at which mortgage loans (or other receivables in separate pools) are reported to have been paid off, given as a percentage of the remaining principal balance of the pool. Most of the time, prepayment rates change with the market interest rate.
Prescribed part
The fund that section 176A of the Insolvency Act of 1986 says must be set aside from the net sales of property with a floating charge and given to unsecured creditors. The Enterprise Act of 2002 put in place the required part.
Pricing
The process of determining the coupon and price of securities before they are issued. Any financial instrument’s pricing should be equal to the present value of the cost flow that it is expected to generate. Because of the effect of prepayment on the timing of cash flows in a securitisation structure, the pricing process creates expected-case cash flows using a prepayment scenario.

A debt security that gives a return based on how well property does. A PLN can be set up so that the person who owns it has control rights over the property it is backed by.

For the length of the PLN, the person who owns the PLN is essentially the property owner.

A way for the servicer or special servicer to pay for things like insurance premiums that are needed to protect the property that is used as collateral for the loan.
