AGNC Investment Corp.

Headquartered in Bethesda, Maryland, AGNC Investment Corp. was established in 2008. This domestic real estate investment trust (REIT) primarily allocates its capital to residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS) and collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs). A key characteristic of these investments is that their principal and interest payments are guaranteed by U.S. government agencies or government-sponsored enterprises. To finance these holdings, the company largely relies on secured borrowings, specifically structured as repurchase agreements. By electing REIT status under the 1986 Internal Revenue Code, AGNC avoids federal corporate income tax, provided it disperses a minimum of 90% of its taxable earnings to its shareholders. The firm was formerly known as American Capital Agency Corp. until it changed its name to AGNC Investment Corp. in September 2016.
