12-Month Treasury Average (MTA)

The Monthly Treasury Average is a relatively new ARM index. This index is the 12 month average of the monthly average yields of U.S. Treasury securities adjusted to a constant
maturity of one year. It is calculated by averaging the previous 12 monthly values of the 1-Year
Constant Maturity Treasury (CMT). Because this index is an annual average, it is more steady than the 1-Year CMT index. The MTA index generally fluctuates slightly more than the 11th District 11th District Cost of Funds Index (COFI)   although its movements track each other very closely. The MTA and COFI-indexed ARMs work much the same way.
