Abstract: In this paper we analyze the mortgage choice faced by Danish borrowers.

Based on an analysis of the most popular Danish mortgage products,

we argue that Adjustable-Rate Mortgages (ARM) with life time caps will

combine the most attractive features from straight ARMs and callable

Fixed-Rate Mortgages (FRM). Furthermore, we find the delivery option

embedded in Danish mortgages to be an important feature, which protects

households from the risk of insolvency by facilitating a closer match

between assets and liabilities in the household portfolio.

Keywords: Mortgage; Choice; Valuation; Delivery Option; Prepayment
