TOMORROW’S TRADE IDEA, TODAY

The Flip Side

Current mortgage rates might be bad for home buyers, but the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) says they’re not all bad for investors. Mortgage-backed securities are delivering some investors high yields right now. 

The MBS realm is frequented by institutional investors. But retail investors can access them through funds like the Simplify MBS ETF (MTBA) which is currently yielding about 5.9%. That’s around 165 basis points better than the 10-year Treasury right now. The ETF focuses on buying newer MBS composed of newer mortgages with higher rates.

The Risk

As with any type of investing, a higher possible reward comes with a higher risk. The risks with MBS are realized through prepayments. If interest rates begin to fall, homeowners could refinance at lower rates and pay off their mortgages faster. When prepayment occurs, the MBS investor has a shorter period of growth than anticipated.

Prepayment Timelines

Some experts believe when rate cuts begin, refinancing might not happen as quickly as many expect. This could ring true if rate cuts are gradual rather than drastic. Americans might not be willing to go through the process of refinancing just to save 10 to 15 basis points. 

In addition, new mortgage bonds are largely tied to first-time home buyers, who traditionally prepay at a much slower pace. 

Mortgage-backed securities, fueled by high interest rates, are providing investors with a solid return right now. ETFs are a great way for everyday investors to get in on the action.
