"I think you'll find that the major threats to GNMA's are defaults"

no disrespect, but you have no idea what your talking about. GNMA pools and TVA are backed by the full faith of the u.s. tsy. that compared to fnma,fhlmc etc which have and "implied" backing.

""and pre-payments"

not to worry when rates are going up. this is a good thing, hence it wont happen much.

"Can you direct me to an ETF or Mutual Fund that holds GNMA's and has a published "Duration" for the fund?"

the problem with all of this stuff, is that as rates rise duration will change. Frankly I dont care whether you buy them or not. If you you believe rates are going up STAY AWAY from this stuff. period.

Good luck.
