Diversified Mortgage Asset Mix (RMBS And MSRs)Cherry Hill’s mix of RMBS holdings and a sizable MSR portfolio provides multiple structural cashflow streams — interest spread income from RMBS and fee-like servicing cashflows from MSRs. This asset diversification supports durable income potential and risk mitigation across rate cycles over the next several months.
