Mortgage Backed Securities – A Quick Education

Valued at about twice the nominal GDP of Japan, the size alone of the U.S. mortgage market is significant. Agency MBS, which make up the largest portion of Mortgage Backed Securities, are characterized by a slate of features that provide an opportunity for active managers to generate returns above the market.

Key Takeaways

  • The U.S. mortgage market is worth about $10.8 trillion and represents about a quarter of the U.S. bond market.
  • The many thousands of Mortgage Backed Securities are highly actively traded, and market liquidity means transaction costs are often a fraction of corporate bonds.
