Our read on DMBS

ETF.net Research

In short

CDoubleLine's mortgage desk in an ETF wrapper: an actively managed bond fund built to exceed the Bloomberg U.S. Mortgage-Backed Securities Index over a full market cycle, in a corner of the market almost everyone else simply indexes.

Stated mandate

The Fund seeks total return through capital appreciation and current income, exceeding the Bloomberg U.S. Mortgage-Backed Securities Index over a full market cycle.

Why people hold it

  • Active by design. Managers pick the mortgage bonds instead of copying the index, with a stated aim of exceeding the Bloomberg U.S. Mortgage-Backed Securities Index over a full market cycle.
  • Pays monthly, matching the rhythm of the mortgage cash flows underneath it.
  • Trades with decent everyday liquidity for an active bond ETF, and sits in the upper half of its mortgage-bond peer group on our review.
  • A US agency mortgage mandate run inside a standard 1940 Act fund. No exotic wrapper, no K-1 surprises.

Worth knowing

  • At 0.39% a year it runs above the typical mortgage-bond ETF, and roughly ten times index trackers like VMBS (0.03%) and MBB (0.04%). Active management has to earn that gap.
  • Launched in 2023, so its track record is short relative to the full market cycle the fund itself uses as the yardstick.
  • Results ride on the manager's security selection rather than the benchmark, which means the gap versus the index can cut either way.
