AGNCN

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, the company focuses on acquiring and managing residential mortgage pass-through securities and collateralized mortgage obligations guaranteed by government-sponsored enterprises such as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, or by U.S. government agencies like Ginnie Mae. AGNC generates income through the net interest spread between the yield on its mortgage assets and the cost of its borrowings. As one of the largest publicly traded mortgage REITs, the company maintains a substantial investment portfolio typically valued in excess of $60 billion in assets. AGNC employs a leveraged investment strategy, using short-term borrowings and repurchase agreements to finance its agency MBS purchases. The company is externally managed and advised by AGNC Management, LLC. AGNC Investment Corp. trades multiple classes of preferred stock alongside its common stock, providing investors with various options for exposure to the agency MBS sector. The company maintains its REIT status by distributing substantially all of its taxable income to shareholders through monthly dividend payments, making it a focus for income-oriented investors seeking exposure to the residential mortgage market with reduced credit risk.
