AGNC Investment Corp. is an internally-managed mortgage real estate investment trust that specializes in investing primarily in agency mortgage-backed securities (MBS), where principal and interest payments are guaranteed by U.S. government-sponsored enterprises or agencies. The company generates returns for shareholders through a dynamic portfolio management strategy combining asset selection expertise, competitive funding advantages, and disciplined risk management. AGNC's investment portfolio includes fixed-rate agency MBS, collateralized mortgage obligations, and adjustable-rate securities, complemented by credit-sensitive assets including credit risk transfer securities and non-agency mortgage investments. The company employs leverage through repurchase agreements and to-be-announced (TBA) securities to enhance returns on its equity base. Founded in 2008 during the financial crisis, AGNC operates with an internally-managed structure and maintains a commitment to operational efficiency and transparent capital management. The firm pays monthly dividends to common shareholders funded by net interest spread income, dollar roll income, and other investment gains derived from mortgage market opportunities.
