wink26 Allocating a large % of prepayments to senior tranche could shorten duration, and increase contraction risk (but it reduces credit risk because the senior tranche gets to pocket the prepays first).
kodali Also by having the sub-ordinate tranches still avaialable, they helps senior tranches by absorbing defaults first
