GNMA is taxable refi plus 10 bps

The rates for Refinancing & Expansion as well as the rates for Start-up are considered to be generically fair and reasonable as of the printing of this publication. However, due to current market conditions, are subject to change on a daily basis until further notice.

The GNMA rates are from a major market participant GNMA trading desk as obtained on Monday mornings. HJS does crosscheck this rate from time to time against other major market participants. The 30yr GNMA is taxable refi plus 10 bps. The FHA Tax Exempt rates are from a MMD Scale for FHA-insured tax-exempt deals as of the previous Friday.

Methodology for calculating A through BB rates: HJS applies the appropriate spreads of each category vs. the daily published MMD municipal bond scale for the applicable industry (senior living or charter schools). The MMD municipal bond scale, which is the benchmark for the pricing of municipal bonds, represents a consensus scale for AAA bonds as provided to Thomson Reuters by multiple street traders. It is published by Municipal Market Data every day at 3:00 pm and is available on Bloomberg. The spreads are a reflection of HJS knowledge of secondary market trades and new issue scales. The rates are for a generic non-state specific financings within the subject industry and are HJS best estimation of what yield would be available in a 5, 10, 20- and 30-year maturity were a new issue to be priced. These rates are estimations, actual pricing can vary greatly depending upon the markets’ perception of the issuer and the state of issuance.  Rates identified by reference to a rating category refer to the related category as published by Fitch Ratings, S&P Global Ratings, or Moody’s Ratings.

Calculations and methodology would be applied by the rating agency selected if that were to be pursued. The rates represents HJS opinion only based upon comparison to similar transactions.
