There are roughly $7 trillion in 30-year Fannie Mae, Ginnie Mae, and Freddie Mac mortgage bonds outstanding. The agency mortgages are implicitly guaranteed by the US Govt (i.e., they have no credit risk).

Mortgage bonds are best explained as a covered call strategy for bonds. Mortgages have negative convexity, given that they can be \u201ccalled away\u201d early depending on what interest rates do.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 500;\">Because of this uncertainty, they offer a higher yield versus comparable duration Treasuries. We will have more out on this with our income portfolio update, but we thought the spread discrepancy was worth highlighting.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h5><b>Fed\u2019s Losses Digging a Deeper Hole<\/b><\/h5>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Fed has been experiencing losses due to the combination of its large holdings of Treasuries and mortgages, given the sharp increase in rates and rise in their interest expenses from IOR and RRP.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-234635 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/aptuscapitaladvisors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Treasury-remittances_Strategas-9.11.23.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"927\" height=\"695\" \/><em><span style=\"font-weight: 500;\">Source: Strategas as of 09.11.2023<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 500;\">In addition, the interest income they receive from their SOMA portfolio has remained relatively constant (bonds bought when rates were low). Simply put, they have been operating at a loss since September 2022.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 500;\">The chart above is a bit confusing due to the way the Fed changed its weekly data once losses began piling up. Prior to September 7, 2022, the bars show weekly estimated remittances that the Fed would hand over to the Treasury. In essence, these were weekly profits.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 500;\">When rates were low and their SOMA portfolio posted profits, they were able to hand over an estimated $1 billion to $4 billion per week to the Treasury.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 500;\">Once the Fed was no longer running at a profit, they changed their accounting to show the cumulative losses rather than continuing with weekly losses. As the chart above shows, they are now an estimated $98 billion in the hole.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h5><b>Higher Real Rates Will Slow Growth But It Works Slowly<\/b><\/h5>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 500;\">Real interest rates continue to rise as the Fed maintains a firm monetary policy stance and inflation slowly grinds lower. What has been interesting to us through the recent rise in interest rates has been the contribution of what is driving returns higher.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-234636 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/aptuscapitaladvisors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Nominal-RHS-rate_Morgan-Stanley-10.9.23.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"976\" height=\"441\" \/><em><span style=\"font-weight: 500;\">Source: Morgan Stanley as of 10.09.2023<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 500;\">The US 10-year inflation breakeven rate has contributed only 10bps to the 135bp increase in nominal yields over the last five months which has been dwarfed by the 125bp jump in real yields to ~2.5%. Higher real rates should continue to slow the economy although it will take time for them to work their way through the real economy.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h5><b>Term Premium is Rising<\/b><\/h5>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 500;\">A Treasury bond\u2019s term premium is the difference in yield an investor requires to invest in a long duration bond vs rolling over a short duration many times (i.e., buy a 10-year Treasury vs rolling a 1-year Treasury over 10 times). It is simply the compensation for the interest rate risk embedded in longer-dated bonds.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-234637 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/aptuscapitaladvisors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/10-yr-treasury-change_Economist-10.9.23.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"479\" height=\"496\" srcset=\"https:\/\/aptuscapitaladvisors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/10-yr-treasury-change_Economist-10.9.23.png 332w, https:\/\/aptuscapitaladvisors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/10-yr-treasury-change_Economist-10.9.23-290x300.png 290w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 479px) 100vw, 479px\" \/><em><span style=\"font-weight: 500;\">Source: Economist as of 10.09.2023<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 500;\">The term premium is unobservable and is mostly a guesstimate followed by economic models.

We\u2019d point to some of the issues above as to the reason for a wider term premium (stronger economic growth, question of a higher neutral rate, as well as inflation and growth uncertainty) but I think the other piece of the puzzle is the uptick in Treasury issuance. We will dive in on that a bit more below.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h5><b>Higher Treasury Supply is Requiring Higher Yields to Incentivize Buyers<\/b><\/h5>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 500;\">We believe the government spending (fiscal policy) is also adding to the inflationary pressure and counterbalancing some of the Fed\u2019s tightening regime.
