Our read on JHMB
BMost funds in this corner of the bond market buy the whole aggregate index. JHMB shops one aisle: hundreds of mortgage-backed and related asset-backed bonds, with distributions paid monthly.
Seeks exposure to mortgage-backed securities and related mortgage instruments by investing in mortgage-backed securities and related asset-backed instruments.
Why people hold it
- A dedicated mortgage sleeve rather than a sliver of a total-market index: roughly 400 mortgage-backed and related asset-backed positions.
- Pays monthly, matching the rhythm of the mortgage bonds it holds, which themselves pass through principal and interest each month.
- Stays tightly inside the mortgage mandate it advertises, with little drift into unrelated bond sectors.
- Standard 1940 Act fund structure. No swaps, notes, or partnership tax quirks wrapped around the bonds.
Worth knowing
- At 0.60% a year, it runs well above the typical broad bond ETF and far above the 0.03% core index giants like BND and SCHZ. Specialization carries a price tag.
- A smaller, lightly traded fund next to the core bond behemoths, so spreads can widen. Limit orders earn their keep here.
- Mortgage bonds carry prepayment and extension risk: homeowners refinance early when rates fall and sit tight when rates rise, so the fund's duration moves with them.
