ABOUT Angel Oak Financial Strategies Income Term Trust
This closed-end fund focuses on generating income by investing primarily in a portfolio of U.S. residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS), particularly those that are not agency-backed. This means they delve into the realm of mortgages not guaranteed by government entities like Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, often referred to as non-agency RMBS. These securities may carry higher yields but also come with increased complexity and credit risk compared to their agency counterparts. The fund aims to provide a high level of current income to its shareholders, and its strategy includes active management to navigate the intricacies of the mortgage market and attempt to capitalize on valuation discrepancies. The investment team analyzes a variety of factors when selecting and managing these assets, including credit quality, prepayment risk, and interest rate sensitivity. They also use leverage as part of their investment approach, which can amplify both gains and losses. By holding a diversified basket of these securities, the fund intends to mitigate the risks associated with any single mortgage or borrower, while still focusing on securities that tend to offer a higher level of income compared to those backed by government agencies.
