Our read on TSEC
DMost mortgage-bond ETFs are cheap index trackers stuffed with agency paper. TSEC goes the other way: an active book run by Fort Washington that roams the whole securitized market, from home and commercial mortgages to asset-backed deals and CLOs.
The Fund pursues combined income and capital growth, with a normal-market commitment of at least 80% of assets to securitized fixed-income securities.
Why people hold it
- Hunts across the full securitized market: residential and commercial mortgages, asset-backed deals and CLOs, plus Treasuries and agency paper. Index rivals mostly stop at agency mortgages.prnewswire.com
- Actively managed and sub-advised by Fort Washington, Touchstone's affiliated bond manager, with a fully transparent portfolio.westernsouthern.comprnewswire.com
- Built around income and pays monthly, with at least 80% of assets committed to securitized fixed income.
Worth knowing
- Charges 0.73% a year against a category median near 0.35%. Index heavyweights VMBS and MBB run 0.03% and 0.04%.
- Thinly traded next to the category's giants, so the gap between buy and sell prices can run wider.
- The Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate is a yardstick here, not a target. This is a securitized-only book that can behave very differently from the broad bond market.westernsouthern.com
