PSRS MARKET INSIGHTS
In the market today, we see that corporate bond rates have been rising even though index rates have been falling, causing spreads to increase. The reason life insurance companies do mortgages is to augment their bond portfolios. Mortgages provide stable cash flows similar to bonds but return better yields due to their lack of liquidity.
