From the investor's perspective,there are three disadvantages of the call provision.

The cash flow pattern of the callable bond is not known with certainty.

The issuer will call the bonds when interest rates have dropped.

The capital appreciation potential of a bond will reduced because the price of a callable bond may not rise much above the price at which the issuer may call the bond.

The magnitude of this risk depends upon the various parameters of the call as well as on market conditions.Timing risk is so pervasive in fixed income portfolio management that many market participants concider it second only to interest arte risk in importance.

In the case of mortgage-backed securities,the cash flow depends or prepayments of principal made by the homeowners in the pool of mortgages that serves as collatevral for the security.
