Can you clarify who currently holds the largest stake in Mortgage-Backed Securities (MBS)? I'm curious about the institutional investors or entities that possess the most significant portion of these assets. Are they primarily financial institutions like banks, insurance companies, or pension funds? Or could it be other types of investors, such as hedge funds or sovereign wealth funds? I'm interested in understanding the distribution of ownership and how it might influence the market dynamics surrounding MBS.
