AGNC Investment Corp Dossier
Qualitative Analysis
Business overview
AGNC Investment Corp. (NASDAQ: AGNC) is a leading internally managed real estate investment trust (REIT) that primarily invests in Agency mortgage-backed securities (Agency MBS) on a leveraged basis. The company's asset portfolio is comprised of residential mortgage pass-through securities and collateralized mortgage obligations for which the principal and interest payments are guaranteed by a U.S. Government-sponsored enterprise (such as Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac) or by a U.S. Government agency (such as Ginnie Mae). This focus on Agency-backed assets virtually eliminates credit risk, positioning AGNC as a pure-play vehicle for generating high monthly passive income through interest rate spreads. The company funds its investments primarily through short-term collateralized borrowings structured as repurchase agreements (repos).
