Mortgage-backed securities (MBS) have taken a hit over the last several weeks with the news of the Fed’s plans to shrink its balance sheet. Today's guest, Dean Smith of FolioBeyond, will discuss why the combination of the rise in Treasury yields and the widening of MBS spreads is continuing to increase the valuations of certain types of mortgage-backed securities. With the expectation that the pace of rate hikes will soon be more aggressive, Dean will explain how the actively managed rising rates ETF, RISR, will benefit and generate alpha. The FolioBeyond Rising Rates ETF (RISR) is up 26.55% YTD (as of 4/13/2022) and is ranked #1 by Morningstar among non-traditional bond strategies.
