• COUPON LEVERAGE
  
  The inclusion of a multiple in the formula for calculating the coupon rate on an inverse floating-rate CMO. For example, an inverse floater with a multiple may pay interest at the rate of 22 percent minus the product of 2 times the 1-month London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR). (Note that when the rate formula for a floater or inverse floater applies a multiple to a sum, the CMO tranche is called a superfloater. See superfloater.)
