Mortgage securities are drawing buyers after tumbling last year and handing billionaire hedge fund manager John Paulson his first loss in the bond market.

Paulson, who made $15 billion in 2007 betting against U.S. subprime mortgages, is sticking with bullish investments in residential and commercial mortgage securities, helping his Credit Opportunities Ltd. fund gain about 1 percent last quarter to narrow its 2011 decline to 18 percent.
