AGNC Investment Corp. operates as a real estate investment trust (REIT) that invests primarily in agency mortgage-backed securities (MBS) in the United States. Headquartered in Bethesda, Maryland, and founded in 2008, the company focuses on acquiring and managing a leveraged portfolio of residential mortgage pass-through securities and collateralized mortgage obligations guaranteed by government-sponsored enterprises such as Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and Ginnie Mae.

As one of the largest internally-managed residential mortgage REITs, the company maintains a portfolio valued at approximately $60 billion in agency MBS assets. AGNC employs active portfolio management and hedging strategies to mitigate interest rate and prepayment risks inherent in mortgage investments. The company trades on NASDAQ under the ticker symbol AGNC for common stock, with multiple preferred stock series including AGNCL. AGNC is structured to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, distributing substantially all of its taxable income to shareholders through monthly dividends. The company's investment strategy emphasizes capital preservation while generating attractive risk-adjusted returns through comprehensive risk management and dynamic allocation across different mortgage securities.
