Our read on CARY
CAn aggregate-bond-cohort fund that doesn't own the aggregate index. Angel Oak runs this one as an active push into securitized credit: residential mortgage bonds, asset-backed deals and CLOs, spread across roughly 600 positions and paying monthly.
The Fund seeks current income through an actively managed portfolio allocated among multiple income-producing asset classes. The Adviser uses fundamental credit and valuation research and may consider maturity, yield, ratings, collateral, credit support, structure, and market conditions.
Why people hold it
- Built on the corner of the bond market Angel Oak was founded in: residential mortgage bonds, asset-backed securities and CLOs, chosen deal by deal. The firm has run multi-sector fixed income since 2008.angeloakcapital.com
- Income is the mandate, not a byproduct. Payouts come monthly, and risk sits across roughly 600 individual positions, so no single deal steers the portfolio.
- Active by design: managers can move across sectors, ratings and structures as spreads shift, weighing collateral, credit support and deal structure. Assets run past a billion and the shares see steady trading.
Worth knowing
- Cost is the trade-off: 1.00% gross against a 0.36% category median, with index trackers like BND and SCHZ at 0.03%. A contractual adviser waiver holds the net fee below the stated 1.00%.angeloakcapital.com
- Structured credit is not Treasuries. Angel Oak's own disclosures flag that mortgage-backed and asset-backed holdings, plus lower-rated and nonrated bonds, carry a greater risk of loss.angeloakcapital.com
- No index to measure it against day to day. Results ride on the managers' calls, and the mix can look nothing like the broad aggregate bond funds it gets grouped with.
