What Can Structured Finance Do for Your Portfolio?

Key Takeaways

At $17 trillion, securitized markets play a vital role in global financing yet are under-represented in many client portfolios.
Nearly two decades after the Global Financial Crisis (GFC), securitization markets demonstrate maturity, strong regulation, and resilience.
Securitized credit offers diversified fundamentals and low-rate sensitivity, resulting in lower correlation to traditional corporate allocations.
Investors can access attractive risk-adjusted yields in securitized credit relative to corporate bonds.
The source of additional yield in securitized assets needs to be properly understood to build resilient portfolios.
Agency mortgage-backed securities (MBS) provide a yield pickup compared to US Treasurys (UST), along with enhanced liquidity.
