How MBS ETFs Work?

The MBS securities and financial instruments work on the basis of mortgage (re-) payments on residential as well as commercial real estate properties. These financial instruments can be structured and floated in the market as equity-based financial products or as fixed income-based financial products. MBS ETFs are a form of equity-based offering for a mortgage financial product.
Such MBS ETF allow investors to take an indirect route to investing in the mortgage securities. For example, one of the popular MBS ETF called the iShares Barclays MBS Bond ETF allows an investor to invest in fixed-rate mortgage instruments which are launched by the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (FHLMC), the Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA) or the Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA). Another popular MBS ETF, called iShares MBS ETF (MBB), provides investment exposure to a wide ranging set of American mortgage-backed bonds, including those issued by government sponsored enterprises such as Ginnie Mae, Fannie Mae, and Freddie Mac.
Though these MBS ETFs are prone to the usual risk factors that are associated with the underlying mortgage based securities investments, taking the ETF route allows and investor to spread the risk across multiple such MBS instruments. One should anyways be aware about the working of the underlying securities that the MBS ETF is expected to invest in, and should also keep an eye on the expense ratio which may vary widely.
