Financial journalist opinion

CEFs Are Becoming Less Appealing For Income Investors

The investment case for closed-end funds (CEFs) is weak now due to tight discounts, high leverage costs, and expensive underlying assets. Most CEFs do not deliver sustainable alpha, and lower-fee actively managed ETFs now offer similar exposures with better economics. We have reduced our CEF allocation, favoring alternatives like BDCs, select ETFs, preferreds, and bonds for better value and risk/reward.

Now Is Still A Great Time To Consider MTBA

The Fed hiked rates by 525 basis points over a nearly two-year period, providing attractive yields across all fixed income asset classes. MBS, especially newly issued MBS, are offering great value relative to many other fixed income asset classes right now. The Simplify MBS ETF is a simple approach to investing in the MBS issued by Government-Sponsored Enterprises.

MTBA: Asymmetric Risk/Reward - Raise To A Buy

Investing in equities and credit markets is challenging due to high valuations; consider mortgage-backed securities for better value. MBS spreads are currently at multi-year highs as investors fear a rapid decline in interest rates and mortgage refinancings. Interest rates may be higher for longer as the U.S. economy remains resilient, and inflation progress has stalled. This should allow MTBA investors to earn an attractive spread vs. treasuries.

MTBA: MBS ETF, Above-Average 6.0% Yield

MTBA focuses on newly issued MBS with higher yields and lower duration, reducing risk and volatility. MTBA's exposure to interest rate risk may limit upside potential, but its low credit risk provides stability during downturns. The fund's 6.0% dividend yield is higher than that of treasuries and investment-grade bonds, and is its key selling point.

A Good Time To Consider MTBA

Fed hiked rates by 525bps over a nearly two-year period, providing attractive yields across all fixed income asset classes; but mortgage-backed securities spreads are trading substantially wider than their historical averages. Newly issued MBS, as executed in MTBA, is providing higher yield and less duration than the traditional MBS index. With expectations of a gradual cutting cycle, focused on the front-end, now looks like a great time to consider the simple yet powerful exposure to MBS that is executed inside MTBA.
