FTSM Factset Analytics Insight
FTSM is an actively managed fund that primarily invests in a variety of fixed-income securities for capital preservation and income generation. It is a quasi-competitor to PIMCO's MINT and iShares' NEAR. However, rather than holding solely investment-grade securities, FTSM reaches into bank loans—often rated as non-investment grade—for additional yield. It doesn't look much like our benchmark, and it has yet to demonstrate that it can reliably deliver higher yields while preserving capital over the long-term. FTSM trades very well, with small spreads and robust daily volume. Larger investors looking at block execution will find decent liquidity, allowing the usual caveats for the liquidity-challenged fixed-income space. FTSM charges a reasonable fee, but investors should bear in mind that the portfolio can experience high turnover.
