| Corporate Profile |  | AGNC is a REIT formed in 2008 that invests in agency securities for which the principal and interest payments are guaranteed by a U.S. Government-sponsored entity (such as the Federal National Mortgage Association, or Fannie Mae, and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, or Freddie Mac), or a U.S. Government agency (such as the Government National Mortgage Association, or Ginnie Mae). The principal objective of AGNC is to preserve our net asset value while generating attractive risk-adjusted returns for distribution to our stockholders through regular quarterly dividends from our net interest income, which is the spread between the interest income earned on our interest earning assets and the interest costs of our borrowings and hedging activities, and net realized gains and losses on our investments and other supplemental hedging activities. We fund our investments primarily through short-term borrowings structured as repurchase agreements. Our Manager is a majority-owned subsidiary of a wholly-owned portfolio company of American Capital, Ltd. (Nasdaq: ACAS). |
