Z-Tranches

Trading Term

Deferred-interest bonds that have the longest average life of any CMO tranche. During the initial phase of the life, the bond provides no cash flow. Instead, similar to a zero-coupon bond, interest will compound. Only after all of the other tranches have been retired will interest and principal payments be made.
