JLS: Conditions Are Improving But Still Not A Buy
Nuveen Mortgage and Income Fund offers a high 9.7% yield but faces limited growth potential amid elevated interest rates and premium valuation. JLS's portfolio is heavily weighted toward below-investment-grade mortgage securities, increasing risk but supporting strong net investment income and monthly distributions. Despite consistent dividend coverage, JLS's long-term returns lag market rallies, and leverage amplifies both income and risk, especially in uncertain rate environments.
