AGNC Investment Corp.

AGNC Investment Corp. is a mortgage real estate investment trust (REIT) that provides capital to the U.S. residential housing market by investing in mortgage-backed securities. The company's portfolio consists primarily of residential mortgage pass-through securities and collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs) backed by guarantees from U.S. government-sponsored enterprises such as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, or direct U.S. government agencies. As a REIT, the company is required to distribute at least 90% of its taxable income to shareholders and is generally exempt from federal and state corporate income taxes at the entity level.

The company's revenue is generated through interest income on its mortgage-backed security holdings, which serve as its primary business segment. AGNC operates with a lean organizational structure of 54 full-time employees and is headquartered in Bethesda, Maryland. The company was incorporated in 2008 and operates under the Nasdaq listing. It was formerly known as American Capital Agency Corp. before changing its name to AGNC Investment Corp. in September 2016.
