About
The Simplify MBS ETF (MTBA) endeavors to generate total investment returns while upholding capital preservation and sound financial stewardship. This fund allocates its assets primarily to mortgage-backed securities (MBS), which are recognized for offering attractive yields when compared to similar U.S. Treasury instruments, coupled with very limited to no credit risk. A key element of MTBA's strategy involves concentrating on more recently issued MBS, as these have historically provided superior coupon rates and higher yields to maturity in contrast to the MBS that constitute the Bloomberg U.S. MBS Index.
