As we move through 2025, investors are facing a familiar dilemma: how to generate consistent returns in a market full of uncertainty. Stock market volatility, elevated interest rates, and ongoing questions about inflation and economic growth have prompted many to revisit their asset allocation. One investment vehicle that continues to draw attention—especially among those seeking income and capital preservation—is the mortgage fund.
But is it still a smart move in today’s environment? Here’s what investors should consider.

Each loan is typically secured by real property. Even in the event of borrower default, there is an underlying asset that can be sold or refinanced. This collateralization adds a level of downside protection not found in many traditional investments.
