About
MBS Mantra provides discretionary portfolio management primarily through separately managed accounts for individuals, high‑net‑worth clients, trusts, foundations, corporations, retirement systems and institutional clients. The firm also offers outsourced CIO services, proposes private limited‑partnership fund structures for pooled investments, and offers consulting and model‑portfolio licensing under affiliated DBAs and subsidiaries.
The firm’s investment focus is on debt securities within the structured‑products universe — credit‑ and prepayment‑sensitive mortgage‑backed, asset‑backed and commercial mortgage securities — supplemented by corporate bonds, equities and funds for hedging, allocation and targeted risk exposures. Portfolios are constructed using fundamental credit and collateral analysis and industry analytics, and the adviser also runs research‑driven ETF/mutual‑fund portfolios, long‑short strategies and a quantitative market‑risk targeting strategy that can be customized to client objectives.
Notable differentiators for a firm of this category are its willingness to charge performance‑based fees (available only to Qualified Clients) and to manage institutional/OCIO mandates, both of which are uncommon among peers; the firm computes performance fees on Net Realized Returns with an “unrecouped realized losses” mechanism tailored to illiquid RMBS valuation issues. The firm also emphasizes active trading and trade‑allocation policies for side‑by‑side management, and offers the option to sponsor pooled vehicles or designate sub‑advisors when client needs require pooled structures.

We'll help you think it through—whether you ultimately need an advisor or not. Warmer helps you compare advisors clearly, so you can choose with confidence.
For advisor listings, we rely on sources including public filings and data provided by advisors, and we cannot guarantee that all information is current or accurate. Advisors are independent and may not have reviewed or updated this information. Please review an advisor’s Form ADV and do your own diligence before deciding whether to work with them.
Advisor matching and introductions are provided by FinanceHQ LLC (“FHQ”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Warmer and an SEC-registered investment advisor. We receive compensation from certain participating advisors for introductions or referrals. This creates a conflict of interest because we have an incentive to recommend advisors who compensate us, including those who pay us more. You pay no fee to use our matching service, and advisor fees are not increased because of a referral or introduction. We do not review the ongoing performance of advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.
By using our service, you agree to our Terms of Service and Advisory Agreement, and acknowledge our Privacy Policy. Please review FHQ’s ADV Part 2A and Form CRS. Logos provided by Logo.dev
