• PIPELINE
  
  Is a type of risk often associated with mortgages. It occurs from the time an application is accepted to the sale of the asset. Some analysts partition this process into two parts: production and inventory. Production starts at the time of the application and continues until the closing of the mortgage. Inventory risk starts at the closing and continues until the product is hedged or sold. Different hedging techniques are suggested for the two partitions.
