"DoubleLine Capital sees securitized products offering compelling income in a higher-for-longer rate environment. Agency MBS outperformed Treasuries in Q2 with spreads at 107 bps, supported by strong demand and anchored prepayments."
Executive Summary
DoubleLine Capital maintains a constructive outlook on securitized products following Q2 2026, emphasizing that attractive carry and favorable relative value versus corporate credit continue to support the asset class despite limited broad spread tightening. Agency MBS returned 0.58% in the quarter, outperforming Treasuries, with current-coupon spreads tightening 18 bps to 107 bps supported by strong institutional demand. Elevated mortgage rates continue to anchor prepayment activity, creating predictable cash flows. Non-Agency RMBS and CMBS demonstrated resilience with stable credit fundamentals, though commercial real estate performance remains bifurcated across property types. ABS issuance is projected to exceed $400 billion in 2026, with digital infrastructure and AI-related financing representing significant growth areas. CLOs benefited from floating-rate coupons amid rate volatility, though the leveraged loan market shows increasing dispersion. Key risks include elevated interest-rate volatility, housing affordability challenges, and office sector weakness. DoubleLine emphasizes that excess returns will increasingly depend on disciplined security selection across sectors, favoring higher-quality assets with durable cash flows and strong structural protections while remaining selective on property types and credit quality.
