COFI index

Contributed Articles

COFI index - A Cost of Funds Index or COFI is a regional average of interest expenses incurred by financial institutions, which in turn is used as a base for calculating variable rate loans. The interest rate on an adjustable rate mortgage, for example, is often linked to a regional COFI specified in the particular loan documents. COFIs, in turn, are usually calculated by a self-regulatory agency like Federal Home Loan Banks. In California, for example, many home mortgage loans are indexed to the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco. Interest rates on COFI loans and mortgages tend to fluctuate more slowly than variable-rate loans linked to other indexes.

The COFI Cost of Funds Index is a popular index for Pay Option ARM negative amortization home loans.

COFI is a index, Cost of Funds Index. Many lenders use this source of funds to lend on adjustable loans. Historically it has been a favorable index and is one of the most popular among lenders and borrowers alike for adjustable loans. As with any adjustable loan, the index is a key factor as is the margin, since the margin is what the rate will be set at for the first adjustment. Look for loans with low margins.
