Our read on each fund

ETF.net Research

NSCIANuveen Securitized Income

WDECPrincipal Securitized Debt ETF

In short

NSCI Securitized credit is the bond market's plumbing: mortgage, consumer-loan and CLO paper that broad index funds only skim. NSCI is Nuveen's active run at it, holding at least 80% in structured bonds with room to reach below investment grade.

WDE No data

Stated mandate

NSCI The Fund seeks a high level of current income and total return. It is actively managed and normally invests at least 80% of net assets plus investment borrowings in securitized credit investments.

WDE No data

Why people hold it

  • NSCI Active securitized credit for 0.38% a year, under its bond-cohort median and under the closest rival, iShares' SECU at 0.40%.sec.gov
  • Mandate spans agency and non-agency MBS, CMBS, ABS and CLOs, spread across roughly 200 positions rather than a handful of big bets.sec.govnuveen.com
  • Guardrails are in the prospectus: up to 50% below investment grade, nothing rated under CCC at purchase, unrated capped at 25%.sec.gov

WDE No data

Worth knowing

  • NSCI No index to hug. Returns ride on Nuveen's securitized desk picking the right structures, which cuts both ways.sec.gov
  • Launched in 2025, so there is no long record to judge the strategy through a full credit cycle.
  • Thinly traded and small so far, which can mean wider spreads than household bond ETFs, especially on large or hurried orders.
