Agency mortgage REIT that borrows short-term to buy government-backed residential mortgage bonds for the yield spread.
Earns the difference between what its mortgage securities pay and what it pays to borrow, using short-term repurchase loans (borrowing against the securities as collateral) and leverage. Government agencies guarantee the securities, so the risk is price moves and funding costs rather than borrower defaults. An outside manager is paid fees from the REIT.
Moat: none. Commodity spread business; returns depend on rates, spreads and leverage, not a durable edge.
