  12 month MTA ARM

MTA - 12-Month Treasury Average Index. This index is based on the average annual monthly yields of U.S. Treasury Securities, (T
-Bill) adjusted to a constant maturity of one year, as made available by the Federal Reserve. The index is determined by adding together the monthly yields for the most recent 12 months and dividing by 12. Since it's an average, higher yields in some months are offset by lower yields in others. It's considered another sound choice for home investment, since interest rate increases take longer to affect the 12-MTA than other ARM indices. The MTA index does not move as slowly as the Cost Of Funds Index (COFI), but it does have a lower margin and lower life rate cap.
