Earlier this month, the nation’s five largest banks agreed to execute $20 billion in mortgage relief and provide $5 billion in payments to states as restitution for failing to comply with filing regulations when foreclosing on homeowners who were not making their mortgage payments. Investors have warned the mortgage relief will be borne in part by pension and 401k plans invested in mortgage securities that will lose value when banks reduce principal on the underlying home loans.
