GUARANTEE FEES
Amount charged to lenders by mortgage-backed securities (MBS) providers to bundle, render service, sell, and report such securities to investors. The main component of this fee is charged to give protection against credit-linked losses in the mortgage portfolio. Small sub-fees are also reduced to cover internal expenses such as regulating and managing securitized mortgage pools, reporting to investors and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), selling MBS to investors, and keeping the MBS on the open market and selling, as well as for overall and administrative expense. Also known as g-fee.
