How can I buy mortgage backed securities such as Popular ABS Mortgage Pass-through Trust 2005-A or GSAA Home Equity Trust 2007-A AF-3 A-3, or alternatively, a fund that holds AAA or close to AAA sub-prime mortgages securities such as these. I cannot find them listed at Interactive Brokers, for example. Thanks
You are aware of : GSAA Home Equity Trust 2007-2 Series 2007-2 Rating Class CUSIP To From AF3 3622EUAC0 BBB+ AAA/Watch Neg AF4B 3622EUAV8 BBB AAA/Watch Neg AF5B 3622EUAW6 BBB- AAA/Watch Neg AF6B 3622EUAG1 BBB- AAA/Watch Neg Source : "AAA" rating agency S&P: http://www2.standardandpoors.com/spf/pdf/media/subprime_93_rmbs_071508.pdf
Good point - I amended my post to say "AAA or close to AAA". These particular ones were recommended in a prominent Fixed-Income newsletter.
Very very helpful - thanks a lot! I think I may like the Helios and PCM funds (subject to evaluation) because their price history best correlates with Markit ABX AAA graph (straight down) shown at http://blog.atimes.net/?p=788 suggesting that they are holding this type of security. I am also interested in emerging market debt and it looks as if this site will help me there too.
