- AGNC Investment Corp. (Nasdaq: AGNC) is an internally managed real estate investment trust (REIT) that invests primarily in agency residential mortgage-backed securities (Agency RMBS) on a leveraged basis to provide private capital to the U.S. housing market and generate favorable long-term stockholder returns with a substantial dividend yield component. The company maintains a portfolio comprising residential mortgage pass-through securities and collateralized mortgage obligations guaranteed by U.S. government-sponsored enterprises such as Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and Ginnie Mae; it also allocates capital to credit risk transfer securities, non-agency residential and commercial mortgage-backed securities, to-be-announced (TBA) securities, and other mortgage-related or real estate investments. AGNC operates principally in the United States, focusing on institutional investors seeking high-yield exposure to the mortgage sector.
Founded in 2008 and headquartered in Bethesda, Maryland, AGNC Investment Corp. supports American homeownership by enhancing liquidity in residential mortgage markets through its actively managed investment strategy, which emphasizes asset selection expertise, competitive funding advantages, and disciplined risk management. In September 2025, the company priced a public offering of 12 million depositary shares representing its 8.75% Series F Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock at $25.00 per share, raising approximately $300 million in gross proceeds (with an underwriters' option for up to 1.8 million additional shares), to fund additional investments in agency and non-agency securities as well as general corporate purposes. This capital raise follows consistent monthly common stock dividends of $0.12 per share declared through the third quarter of 2025 and the launch of three current coupon Agency MBS indices, bolstering its position amid favorable market opportunities in mortgage-backed securities.
