• CONSTANT PREPAYMENT RATE (CPR)
  
  A measure of the historical or expected prepayment of principal on a mortgage or an MBS that expresses the prepayment as a constant proportion of the outstanding principal. The CPR is an annualized expression of the SMM that reflects compounding and is therefore more accurate. See single monthly mortality rate.
