Western Asset Mortgage Opportunity Fund (DMO) Stock Price, News & Analysis

Company Overview

Western Asset Mortgage Opportunity Fund, Inc. (NYSE: DMO) is a closed‐end management investment company that seeks to provide a high level of current income, with capital preservation as a secondary objective. The fund pursues these goals by allocating its assets among a diversified portfolio of mortgage‐related securities.

The fund’s core investments include agency and non‐agency residential mortgage‐backed securities (MBS), commercial mortgage‐backed securities (CMBS) and asset‐backed securities (ABS) secured by pools of auto loans, credit card receivables, home equity loans and other consumer debt obligations. To enhance yield, the fund may employ modest leverage, tactically adjusting its exposure to interest rate and credit risks.

Advised by Western Asset Management Company, LLC—a global fixed-income specialist affiliated with Franklin Templeton—the fund relies on a research‐driven, active management approach. Portfolio managers draw on extensive market analysis and proprietary credit research to identify opportunities across the mortgage spectrum, seeking to capitalize on dislocations and spread differentials.

Since its inception in 1986, Western Asset Mortgage Opportunity Fund has focused primarily on U.S. dollar‐denominated mortgage assets. While its primary emphasis remains on U.S. markets, the fund retains the flexibility to invest in select offshore mortgage and asset‐backed sectors when risk‐adjusted opportunities arise.
