Andy Brown and Greg Parson discuss whether MBS have gone from a risk too far to a risk well understood?

I virtually sat with Greg Parsons, CEO of Semper Capital Management and learned loads from this chat!

Whether you are already an investor in Mortgage Backed Securities or are starting to explore the opportunity they present, listening to Greg explain in very clear terms what MBS are, what you get, the risks involved and the risks they help mitigate, this interview is an information rich environment.

There are those of us who remember when Asset Backed Securities were considered 4 letter words so we delved into the motivations of the issuer and the 3 main buyers (the Fed, Pension Funds and Bond Funds) to find out what has changed and how this asset class has matured over the last 13 years.

We also took time to explore how you could use MBS within a modern portfolio, perhaps providing an option to maintain an exposure to growth in the property asset class without the gating issues UK investors have faced recently. I hope you find it useful!
