Our read on SECU

ETF.net Research

In short

CA 2005-vintage BlackRock mortgage-bond strategy that moved into an ETF wrapper in January 2026: active, roughly 900 securitized bonds deep, at 0.41% with no waiver due to expire.

Stated mandate

The Fund seeks high total return through active management of a diversified portfolio of securitized fixed-income assets.

Why people hold it

  • Rare pedigree: the strategy launched as a BlackRock mutual fund on July 29, 2005 and was reorganized into this ETF on January 23, 2026, so the research desk predates the ticker.sec.govblackrock.com
  • Wide net: roughly 900 positions spanning asset-backed bonds, agency and non-agency mortgage paper, CLOs and CMOs, up and down the capital structure.sec.gov
  • The 0.41% fee is the whole story: gross equals net, no waiver propping it up, and it sits near the median for funds in the securitized bond group.
  • Active mandate, no index leash. Managers can hold investment grade or high yield at any maturity, with at least 80% of assets in securitized exposure.sec.gov

Worth knowing

  • At least 25% of total assets sits in non-agency mortgage bonds, which carry no US government backing. Credit and prepayment swings come attached to the income.sec.gov
  • Cheaper doors exist in the same category: Principal's WDE charges 0.19% and Nuveen's NSCI 0.38%, neither relying on a waiver.
  • The wrapper is young even if the strategy isn't, so exchange-traded history on spreads and volatility is thin next to the predecessor fund's record.sec.gov
