Current report
Financial conditions improved during the second quarter of 2026 despite periodic bouts of volatility driven by geopolitical developments in the Middle East, elevated energy prices and shifting expectations for monetary policy. Strong labor market conditions, resilient economic growth and moderating interest rate volatility supported risk assets, while investors navigated uncertainty surrounding inflation and energy prices. Against this backdrop, equity markets generated strong returns during the quarter, with broad market indices recovering from periods of volatility and ending the quarter at or near record highs. Credit markets also performed well, as risk premiums across investment grade, high yield and securitized bonds generally tightened amid improving investor confidence and continued demand for income-oriented assets.
Current report
The Federal Open Market Committee (“FOMC”) maintained its target range for the Federal Funds rate at 3.50% to 3.75% throughout the second quarter, citing continued economic resilience, a strong labor market and inflation that remained above its long term objective. Expectations for future monetary policy shifted meaningfully during the quarter. Investors entered the period anticipating that moderating inflation and slowing economic growth would eventually lead to policy easing. However, stronger than expected economic data, elevated energy prices and a modest reacceleration in inflation prompted market participants to reassess this outlook. By quarter end, Federal Funds futures reflected growing expectations that the FOMC's next move would be a hike rather than a cut.
Current report
Against this macroeconomic backdrop, Agency RMBS performance relative to interest rate hedges was mixed across the coupon stack. Higher coupon securities, which benefitted from improving risk sentiment, declining interest rate volatility and favorable market technicals, generally outperformed lower coupon securities. Demand from banks, asset managers, mortgage REITs and other institutional investors remained robust throughout the quarter, while net supply was readily absorbed despite elevated gross issuance activity, underscoring the sector's resilience amid elevated inflation and evolving monetary policy expectations. Attractive carry, strong investor demand and favorable relative valuations versus other high-quality fixed-income sectors continued to support investor interest in Agency RMBS throughout the period.
Current report
During the quarter, Agency CMBS risk premiums remained relatively unchanged as supply was readily absorbed by continued institutional demand from banks, insurance companies and asset managers seeking high-quality spread assets. Supported by stable cash flows and attractive risk-adjusted yields relative to other spread sectors, Agency CMBS remained well positioned within the fixed income market.
Current report
Our outlook for Agency RMBS and Agency CMBS remains constructive. While uncertainty surrounding monetary policy and geopolitical developments persists, we believe valuations remain compelling as interest rate volatility and inflation expectations have moderated from their first quarter peaks. Supply and demand dynamics remain favorable, as net issuance is expected to be contained, and broad-based investor demand remains supportive. Agency CMBS is also well positioned, supported by its attractive risk-adjusted yields, relatively low sensitivity to interest rate fluctuations, and diversification benefits. Taken together, these macroeconomic and market technical factors create a favorable backdrop for our investment strategy as we enter the second half of 2026.
Current report

Previous report
Following a strong recovery in the second half of 2025 and impressive start to the new year, financial conditions deteriorated in the latter half of the first quarter, initially weakening as market volatility rose amid signs of a softening labor market. The decline accelerated following the outbreak of conflict in the Middle East toward the end of February to end the quarter notably weaker. Against this backdrop of heightened geopolitical risk, equity markets reacted negatively with the S&P 500 and NASDAQ declining 4.6% and 7.1%, respectively. Credit markets followed a similar trajectory, as valuations across investment-grade credit, high yield bonds and emerging market debt came under pressure amid the sharp increase in volatility.
Previous report
The Federal Open Market Committee (“FOMC”) kept the benchmark Federal Funds target rate unchanged at both meetings during the quarter, citing a balance between the risks of a weakening labor market and persistently elevated inflation. Expectations for future monetary policy action, as reflected in the Fed Funds futures market, were influenced by heightened volatility stemming from increased geopolitical risks related to the conflict in the Middle East. The futures market began the quarter with expectations for two rate cuts by year-end, driven by signs of labor market softness. However, as commodity and energy prices surged, those expectations reversed, with futures markets subsequently indicating that the FOMC is likely to maintain its current policy stance through the remainder of 2026.
Previous report
Against this macroeconomic backdrop, Agency RMBS delivered mixed performance relative to interest rate hedges during the quarter, as lower coupons performed well while higher coupons underperformed. Excess returns relative to U.S. Treasuries were strong in January as the robust performance in the second half of 2025 carried over into the new year, supported by declining interest rate volatility and the announcement of a $200 billion Agency MBS purchase program by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Following the initial post-announcement surge of demand, however, performance languished, as profit-taking and uncertainty regarding the implementation of the purchase program emerged alongside a modest move higher in interest rate volatility. Underperformance accelerated in March at the onset of the geopolitical turmoil in the Middle East, as interest rate volatility rose sharply given higher interest rates and increased expectations for tighter monetary policy. Although lower coupon performance remained positive throughout the quarter, higher coupons were negatively impacted by rising prepayment concerns in the beginning of the quarter and their elevated sensitivity to increased interest rate volatility in the latter half of the quarter. In addition, swap spreads tightened notably during the quarter, negatively impacting Agency RMBS hedged with swaps relative to those hedged with U.S. Treasuries.
Previous report
Despite elevated market volatility, heightened geopolitical concerns and relatively elevated supply, Agency CMBS risk premiums contracted during the first quarter as issuance was met with continued investor demand, particularly from banks and money managers attracted to the sector’s high-quality collateral, stable cash flows and relative value versus other spread products.
Previous report
Risk sentiment has improved entering the second quarter, supported by a decline in interest rate volatility. A further de‑escalation of the Middle East conflict would likely provide additional support for risk assets. From a supply‑and‑demand perspective, Agency RMBS net issuance is expected to remain manageable, the GSEs continue to provide steady demand and bank participation is likely to increase, supported in part by recent Basel capital framework proposals that improve the relative capital efficiency of high-quality mortgage assets. Together, these macro and technical factors create a more constructive backdrop for our Agency RMBS holdings, particularly as wider spread levels relative to the prior quarter offer more attractive entry points. In addition, despite elevated supply, our Agency CMBS continues to offer attractive risk‑adjusted yields and diversification benefits, given its stable cash flow profile and lower sensitivity to interest rate fluctuations.

Previous wording
Inflation readings trended mostly higher during the first quarter, remaining above the Federal Reserve’s 2% target. The headline consumer price index (“CPI”) ended the quarter at 3.3%, up from 2.7% in December, reflecting a sharp rise in energy and commodity prices stemming from the outbreak of conflict in the Middle East. Core CPI, which excludes food and energy, remained steady at 2.6%. Amid heightened uncertainty around energy prices, investors revised inflation expectations higher, most clearly reflected in Treasury inflation-protected securities breakeven rates. The two-year breakeven rose sharply higher to 3.25% at quarter-end, up from 2.30% at year-end, while the five-year breakeven increased to 2.60%.
Current wording
Inflation remained notably above the Federal Reserve’s 2% target throughout the quarter. The year-over-year increase in the headline consumer price index (“CPI”) increased during the quarter, rising from approximately 3.3% in March to 3.5% by quarter end, reflecting the impact of higher energy prices and broader inflationary pressures. The year-over-year increase in core CPI, which excludes food and energy, was unchanged from the beginning of the quarter at 2.6%. Despite uncertainty around energy prices, investors revised their inflation expectations lower, most clearly reflected in Treasury inflation-protected securities breakeven rates. The two-year breakeven declined sharply to 2.00% at quarter end from 3.25% at the end of the first quarter, while the five-year breakeven decreased to 2.27% from 2.60%.
Previous wording
Interest rates increased across the U.S. Treasury yield curve during the quarter, reflecting market expectations for higher inflation as elevated energy prices continued to work their way through the economy. The two-year U.S. Treasury yield increased by 33 basis points to 3.80%, the five-year yield rose by 23 basis points to 3.94% and the ten-year yield rose by 16 basis points to 4.31%. Interest rate volatility also moved higher during the quarter, driven by rising concerns around a weakening labor market and increasing geopolitical risks.
Current wording
Interest rates increased across the U.S. Treasury yield curve during the quarter as investors reassessed the outlook for inflation and monetary policy amid resilient economic growth, a strong labor market and elevated energy prices. The two-year U.S. Treasury yield increased by 37 basis points to 4.17%, the five-year yield rose by 29 basis points to 4.23% and the ten-year yield rose by 16 basis points to 4.47%. Interest rate volatility remained relatively well contained during the quarter despite periodic bouts of market uncertainty driven by geopolitical developments in the Middle East and evolving policy expectations.

Under the fair value option, changes in fair value are recognized in income on the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss).
