In an earlier article, I wrote about the iShares FTSE NAREIT Mortgage Fund ETF (NYSEARCA: REM) as a good way to generate income in an environment where interest rates are low, and yields on investment grade bonds are quite possibly at long-time lows.hile I initially thought that an ETF would be a more attractive investment because of the diversification, I found that the performance of REM significantly lagged the performance of both AGNC and NLY over all periods analyzed.
It's a narrow, concentrated. portfolio, with roughly 2/3 of assets in its top 10 holdings and about 1/4 in the top two alone, but that's what the fund is trying to capture: a narrow, concentrated niche. REM is by far the most popular fund in the space, with about $1B in AUM, and easily the most liquid as well.EM ETF.com Tradability Insight. REM is far and away the most liquid fund in the segment: it trades multiple creation units' worth of shares daily, and average spreads are as narrow as they can be. Set limit orders close to NAV to be safe, but trading REM should be easy at any size.
