Analyst Report

The FlexShares Disciplined Duration MBS Index Fund (MBSD) tracks a proprietary index of mortgage-backed securities. MBSD’s particular twist is that it aims to keep duration within a range. Duration measures sensitivity to a change in interest rates. Bond prices typically fall when rates rise. The higher the duration, the more volatile the expected change.

MBSD invests in U.S.-dollar denominated mortgage-backed securities with terms ranging from 15 years to 30 years, but the index targets a composite portfolio duration between 3.25 years and 4.25 years. The index excludes some riskier types of mortgage debt, such as balloon mortgages, mobile home loans, graduated mortgage payments, and collateralized mortgage obligations.

MBSD’s secret sauce also means a significantly higher management fee than the ultra-low-cost competition. Is it worth it? Investors can compare MBSD to the iShares MBS ETF (MBB), the SPDR Portfolio Mortgage Backed Bond ETF (SPMB), or the Vanguard Mortgage Backed Securities ETF (VMBS).
