What Orchid Island Capital does

Externally managed agency mortgage REIT investing in government-backed residential mortgage bonds with leverage.

Earns the gap between the interest on the agency mortgage bonds it holds and the short-term repurchase (repo) borrowing it uses to fund them, then adds leverage, so swings in rates and mortgage spreads move book value sharply. It is managed by Bimini Advisors, an outside firm paid fees, and pays out most income as monthly dividends.
