fully-indexed coupon rate definition

fully-indexed coupon rate means, with respect to ARMs, the rate that would be paid by the borrower ("gross") or received by the Company as owner of the Mortgage Asset ("net") if the coupon rate on the ARM were able to adjust immediately to a market rate without being subject to adjustment periods, periodic caps, or life caps. It is equal to the current yield of the ARM index plus the gross or net margin.
