MBS Trading Firms

I recently had an interview with KGS - Alpha Capital Markets, they are the only MBS focused shop that I am aware of. Can anyone with any industry knowledge provide a list of MBS focused or related firms? Thanks in advance.

I mean the only thing that makes a CMO characteristic compared to your typical agency is the principal prepayment safety in lower traunches. I.e. if prinicpal prepayments exceed the sum of your coupon payments then the excess principal prepayments get paid out to the highest traunche in the structure. Trading MBS's is going to be heavily based around regional statistics, pool characteristics, and the macro rate environment.
