Our read on MBS

ETF.net Research

In short

DMost mortgage ETFs buy government-backed paper and call it a day. Angel Oak's fund goes the other way, picking non-agency residential mortgage bonds, asset-backed paper and corporate debt from a shop built around that corner of credit.

Stated mandate

The fund invests in non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities, and corporate debt.

Why people hold it

  • The niche is the whole point: non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities and corporate debt, the paper the big agency-MBS index funds leave on the table.
  • No benchmark to hug. The fund declares no index and runs a hand-built book of well over a hundred bond positions.
  • Income lands on a monthly cadence, not quarterly.

Worth knowing

  • Cost is the trade-off: 0.79% a year against 0.03% at VMBS and 0.04% at MBB. Specialist credit work carries a specialist price tag, and fees are this fund's weakest spot in its peer group.
  • Non-agency means no government backstop standing behind the mortgages, so credit selection drives outcomes alongside interest rates.
  • Young (2024 launch), modest in size and among the less-traded funds in its category, so spreads can run wider than at the index giants and the record is still short.
