A Primer on Mortgage-Backed Securities

Mortgage-backed securities are the most interesting they have been in 10 years, according to special guest Ken Shinoda, Portfolio Manager at DoubleLine Capital and head of their mortgage-backed securities team. In this episode Ken and Wealthy Behavior host and Heritage Financial President & CEO, Sammy Azzouz, have an in-depth conversation about the current bond market, mortgage-backed securities, and mortgage rates.


  • Opportunities and risks in today’s mortgage-backed securities market
  • Where interest rates might be going in the next few months and next few years
  • How mortgage rates are set and when they may drop
  • What the bond market says about the economy now
  • Why commingled vehicles are more efficient than buying individual bonds
  • Why active bond management makes sense
