Financial Term dollar roll is A short-term funding technique used for mortgage pass-through securities. A seller of a roll agrees to sell a mortgage security at an agreed-upon price on a specified date and to buy back a similar security at a specified future date. The seller receives the use of the funds for the specified time period but does not receive the monthly cash flows from the mortgage security during the roll period. The buyer or counterparty agrees to buy the mortgage security at an agreed-upon price and to sell back a similar security at a specified future date.
