The Schwab Mortgage-Backed Securities ETF (SMBS) is a U.S.-listed exchange-traded fund launched on November 18, 2024, that tracks an index of investment-grade mortgage-backed securities issued or guaranteed by U.S. government agencies such as Ginnie Mae, Fannie Mae, and Freddie Mac. Under its core policy, the fund commits at least 90% of its net assets-including borrowings used for investment-to securities in the underlying index, which may include TBA (to-be-announced) forward-settling MBS contracts commonly used for liquidity and efficient portfolio management. As a passive vehicle classified within the Government Mortgage-Backed Bond category, SMBS provides investors with broad exposure to the agency MBS market, a segment traditionally valued for its combination of government credit support and mortgage-related yield premiums over Treasuries.
- Fed rate cuts boost MBS prices and tighten spreads
- Mortgage prepayments accelerate, pressuring fund yields
- Fed QE tapering drains liquidity from MBS market
- Housing market weakness reduces new MBS issuance supply
