OAS or Option Adjusted Spread is a constant spread used to add with the interest rate to get the discount rate to convert all the future cash flows into present value and ultimately it helps to determine the price of the bond.
Now, As the OAS is higher, it will give higher discount rate (considering we have securities with same interest rate) and price of the security will be lower than similar type of MBS.
However, it does not mean that this security is underpriced. As it has higher discount rate, it has lower price but this is the fair price of security.
Hence, this security is not underpriced and they should not invest heavily into this security.
