PennyMac Mortgage Investment Trust is a mortgage real estate investment trust (mREIT) that specializes in investing in residential mortgage-related assets. The company seeks to generate attractive risk-adjusted income by acquiring and managing a diversified portfolio of mortgage-backed securities and whole mortgage loans. Through active portfolio management, it aims to benefit from interest rate spreads and mortgage servicing revenue.
The trust’s investment portfolio primarily comprises agency residential mortgage-backed securities guaranteed by Ginnie Mae, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, alongside selected non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities and first-lien residential mortgage loans. It may also hold residential mortgage servicing rights, which can provide additional fee-based income and help diversify its sources of returns. The portfolio strategy is designed to balance yield generation with prudent risk management.
Established in 2009 as part of the broader PennyMac Financial Services franchise, the trust completed its initial public offering in August 2013 and trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol PMT. PennyMac Mortgage Investment Trust is externally managed by PennyMac Mortgage Investment Adviser, LLC, an affiliate of PennyMac Financial Services, which was founded in 2008 by industry veteran Stanford Kurland. This management structure leverages the parent company’s extensive experience in mortgage origination and servicing.
Headquartered in Westlake Village, California, PennyMac Mortgage Investment Trust focuses exclusively on the U.S. residential mortgage market. By combining a disciplined approach to asset selection with active interest rate and prepayment risk management, the trust seeks to deliver stable dividend distributions and long-term total return potential for its shareholders.
