Market share data related directly to this portfolio performance is intrinsically linked to the larger REIT market. The Company competes with other REIT's and direct investors. Competitors include Annaly Capital Management (NLY), Invesco Mortgage Capital (IVR).

The REIT industry is highly sensitive to interest rate movements, monetary policy, and housing market conditions. Mortgage REITs specifically are affected by the spread between short-term borrowing rates and the yields on MBS.

Positioning

AGNC is one of the largest agency-focused mortgage REITs. Its competitive advantage lies in its scale, expertise in managing agency MBS portfolios, and its hedging strategies to mitigate interest rate risk.

Total Addressable Market (TAM)

AGNC captures a segment of this market by investing in agency MBS, positioned to capitalize on government-backed securities while managing interest rate exposure.
