DALLAS, Sept. 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Regan Capital, an investment firm with approximately $1.8 billion in assets, announced today that its Regan Floating Rate MBS ETF (NYSE: MBSF), an actively managed exchange-traded fund that invests primarily in floating rate Agency Residential Mortgage-Backed Securities (RMBS), has surpassed $100 million in assets six months after its February 28, 2024 launch.
Agency RMBS can potentially have higher yields than traditional Treasury bonds. MBSF seeks to enhance that spread through the alpha generated from its portfolio that primarily invests in Agency RMBS. MBSF offers a compelling opportunity for investors to diversify their cash allocation into agency RMBS, due to its potential for high yield and liquidity.
"MBSF's success comes at a distinct time, with the Federal Reserve undergoing a significant interest rate policy shift, which we believe could depress yields on traditional government bonds and money markets," said Skyler Weinand, chief investment officer and managing member of Regan Capital and portfolio manager of MBSF. "Agency Residential Mortgage-Backed Securities have the potential to earn higher yields compared to traditional government bonds, while potentially benefiting from the lower credit risk of a U.S. government agency-backed asset."
MBSF's portfolio of Agency RMBS have floating rates, which adjust based on the short-term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR). MBSF has the potential to perform in both declining and rising interest rate environments.
MBSF is Regan Capital's first ETF. In 2020, Regan Capital launched the Regan Total Return Income Fund (RCIRX), a mutual fund which invests across the fixed income market with a focus on mortgage bonds. It was the recipient of the 5-Star Morningstar Rating™, based on risk-adjusted returns for the three-year and overall periods, out of 269 funds in the Nontraditional Bond Category as of 7/31/2024.
MBSF generated a total return of 4.13% based on NAV since its launch through August 31, 2024. As of June 30, 2024, the year-to-date performance was 2.88% based on NAV.

IMPORTANT RISKS: Exchange Traded Fund investing involves risk. Principal loss is possible. Investments in asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities include additional risks that investors should be aware of, including credit risk, prepayment risk, possible illiquidity, and default, as well as increased susceptibility to adverse economic developments. Investments in debt securities typically decrease when interest rates rise. This risk is usually greater for longer-term debt securities. Investments in lower-rated and non-rated securities present a greater risk of loss of principal and interest than higher-rated securities do. The Fund is newly formed and has no operating history. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit of any bank and is not insured or guaranteed by any government agency. There is no guarantee that any investment strategy will achieve its objectives, generate profits, or avoid losses.
The Fund may effect creations and redemptions in cash and therefore may recognize gains that may not have been recognized if it were to distribute portfolio securities in-kind. Investments in shares may be less tax-efficient that an investment in an ETF that distributes portfolio securities entirely in-kind.

As of 7/31/2024, the Regan Total Return Income Fund (RCIRX) received a Morningstar Rating of 5 stars (overall and for the three-year time period) out of 269 funds in the Nontraditional Bond Category. The Morningstar Rating for funds, or "star rating", is calculated for managed products (including mutual funds, variable annuity and variable life subaccounts, exchange -traded funds, closed-end funds, and separate accounts) with at least a three-year history. Exchange-traded funds and open-ended mutual funds are considered a single population for comparative purposes. It is calculated based on a Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Return measure that accounts for variation in a managed product's monthly excess performance, placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. The top 10% of products in each product category receive 5 stars, the next 22.5% receive 4 stars, the next 35% receive 3 stars, the next 22.5% receive 2 stars, and the bottom 10% receive 1 star. The Overall Morningstar Rating for a managed product is derived from a weighted average of the performance figures associated with its three-, five-, and 10-year (if applicable) Morningstar Rating metrics. The weights are: 100% three-year rating for 36-59 months of total returns, 60% five-year rating/40% three-year rating for 60-119 months of total returns, and 50% 10-year rating/30% five-year rating/20% three-year rating for 120 or more months of total returns. While the 10-year overall star rating formula seems to give the most weight to the 10-year period, the most recent three-year period actually has the greatest impact because it is included in all three rating periods.
