Fund Commentary
| MARKET | |
| U.S. fixed-income markets benefited from another round of geopolitical turmoil, a global economic slowdown, and an easing in monetary policy. Interest rates declined, the yield curve inverted, and trade tensions between the U.S. and China escalated. In response, the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) cut the short-term lending rate to 2.0%. | |
| Despite underperforming U.S. Treasuries, Ginnie Mae mortgage bonds (and the fund) are having their best return year since 2014. Mortgage rates have moved back to historical lows which have led to higher levels of volatility, wider risk premiums, and a refinance wave. Of the outstanding mortgage bond universe, 67 percent of borrowers can benefit from a refinance. | |
| The environment has favored lower coupon and call-protected mortgage pools to mitigate prepayment risk. | |
| OUTLOOK | |
| The outlook for the GNMA mortgage market is mixed over the coming months. Yield risk premiums are at the most attractive levels in years but that's countered by headwinds of elevated prepayment risk, higher implied volatility, and poor supply/demand technicals. | |
| The fund, however, offers a higher yield alternative to U.S. Treasuries that should benefit from a deterioration in equity and credit market conditions. New purchases of GNMA mortgage bonds range between 2.25% to 2.75%. | |
| The fund is positioned to benefit from the favorable macro market climate for bonds with a longer duration bias. The fund favors lower coupon GNMA and call-protected mortgage pools to mitigate prepayment risk and participate in a continuation of the bond market rally. | |
