Wachovia Cost of Savings Index (Wachovia COSI)

Note: the former Wachovia COSI is now called the Wells Fargo Cost of Savings Index (Wells Fargo COSI).

See also: GDW Cost of Savings Index (GDW COSI)

Note: Since the merger of Wachovia and World Savings the Wachovia family of companies no longer uses the original COSI index for new mortgages. The original COSI index (a.k.a. GDW COSI or World Savings COSI) has been discontinued. The final COSI value {4.79} was released in September, 2007 for the month of August 2007. Starting from August 1, 2007 Wachovia offers the new Wachovia Cost of Savings Index. In October 2008 Wachovia discontinued providing updates to the new Wachovia Cost of Savings Index rate to the public. It is still being provided for existing customers though (until they are migrated over to a new index). Starting from January 1, 2009, our ability to report and forecast the Wachovia Cost of Savings Index is limited.
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).
