AGNC Investment (AGNC) Stock Price, News & Analysis

Company Overview

AGNC Investment Corp. is a real estate investment trust (REIT) that invests primarily in residential mortgage pass-through securities and collateralized mortgage obligations for which principal and interest payments are guaranteed by a U.S. government-sponsored enterprise or a U.S. government agency. These investments are commonly referred to as agency mortgage-backed securities.

The company seeks to generate income through the difference between the yield on its investment portfolio and its borrowing costs, while managing interest-rate, prepayment and other market risks. AGNC typically finances its portfolio through repurchase agreements and uses hedging instruments to help manage changes in interest rates and funding conditions.

Founded in 2008 and headquartered in Bethesda, Maryland, AGNC operates primarily in the U.S. agency mortgage market rather than through a traditional branch or consumer-lending network. The company is externally managed by AGNC Investment Management LLC, an affiliate of Bethesda-based global investment manager Annaly Capital Management.
