As the industry transitions from LIBOR, Fannie Mae’s ARM 7-6, Hybrid ARM, Structured ARM (SARM), and our new ARM 5-5 will be indexed to the 30-day Compound Average SOFR, published by the New York Fed as “30-day Average SOFR,” available on September 1, 2020. The new ARM 5-5 provides an embedded cap, an initial 5-year loan term, and an optional extension for a second 5-year term.
