Episode: Cross Asset Strategy: ‘Corporates vs MBS’ with Nathaniel Rosenbaum, HG Credit Strategist and Nicholas Maciunas, Head of Agency MBS Research
Description: Using positioning as a guide, investors have been expressing the opinion that Mortgages are cheap relative to Corporates, but the excess returns have gone the other way, with Corporates outperforming by ~1% in terms of excess return YTD. Looking ahead, Corporates can still outperform MBS in a range-bound rate environment with little economic growth risk while high-coupon MBS, with better yields due to negative convexity, can also do well in a stable rate environment.
