Wachovia Cost of Savings Index (Wachovia COSI)

The Wachovia Cost of Savings Index is a new mortgage (ARM) index available through World Savings, a Wachovia Company. The index is based on the interest rates Wachovia pays to individuals on certificates of deposit (CDs), also known as 'personal time deposits'. The Wachovia COSI is calculated monthly and is based on the weighted average of all the interest rates paid on certificates of deposit held by individual depositors as of the last business day of each month.

As personal time deposit rates tend to move more slowly than market interest rates in general, and because the W-COSI is composed of a portfolio of such deposits with different maturities, the Wachovia Cost of Savings Index lags when market rates move up or down. Since the W-COSI is more steady than the other popular indexes more closely tied to market interest rates, ARMs tied to this index are good for you if rates are rising (but not good if they are falling).
