6% Yield - Monthly Capless Reset

 
Country Club Bank has long been an advocate of the barbell strategy.  As banks attempt to take advantage of 10yr+ high in yields by extending duration, we believe it is prudent to compliment the extension risk with short monthly floaters to balance out this barbell approach in case rates stay or go higher for longer.

By far the best value currently remains in capless Fannie Mae SARMs at discounted dollar prices.  Below is an example of a SARM we currently own at a point discount with a 6% yield.  In the event of an early prepayment, you would book a gain as you are paid off at par. Worst case scenario is holding the bond to maturity (0 CPP) at 30-day average SOFR rate (index) + 0.61% (margin)

 
 



For those looking to implement both sides of the barbell trade we like adding 30yr MBS with call protection (200k or less loan balance pools).  If rates continue to rise the SARM will reset with a higher coupon. If rates should fall, the loan balance 30yr pool will tend to have slower CPRs than average (keep more above market book yields on your balance sheet).
