Source: Sheshunoff Information Services, Inc., Austin, Texas from its database of commercial banks. Sept. 1996 data has been restated by American Banker to reflect mergers and bank subsidiary "roll-ups" into the lead bank(s).Mortgage-Backed Securities are the book value (amortized cost) of bank's holdings of U.S. government and private certificates of participation in pools of residential mortgages, either held to maturity or available for sale. They are "pass-through" securities for which each investor receives a pro rata distribution of principal and interest made by homeowners.Government mortgage-backed securities are issued or granted by the Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA), the Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA), and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corp (FHLMC). Private mortgaged-backed securities are issued by others (such as other depository institutions and insurance companies) that are not guaranteed by the U.S. government. Market value of MBS as % of Book Value is the market value of the mortgage-backed securities expressed as a percentage of book value, types held as assets by the bank. Mortgage pass throughs held to maturity and available for sale reflect the designation mandated as per FASB 115 in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. (m) - 1996 data has been restated by American Banker to reflect mergers and bank subsidiary "roll-ups" into the lead bank(s). * - Owned by a foreign bank ** A top 100 ranking will be available in Ranking The Banks in June 1998.*** - Not meaningful.
