The Z-spread, ZSPRD, Zero-volatility spread or Yield curve spread of a mortgage-backed security (MBS) is the parallel shift or spread over the zero-coupon Treasury yield curve required for discounting a pre-determined cash flow schedule to arrive at its present market price.ince the Z-spread uses the entire yield curve to value the individual cash flows of a bond, it provides a more-realistic valuation than an interpolated yield spread based on a single point of the curve, such as the bond's final maturity date or weighted-average life.
