Company Overview
History and Background
Ellington Residential Mortgage REIT (EARN) was founded in 2013. It focuses on acquiring and managing residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS), with a focus on non-agency RMBS. It aims to generate attractive risk-adjusted returns through its investment strategy.

Top Products and Market Share
Key Offerings
- Non-Agency RMBS: Ellington Residential Mortgage focuses heavily on non-agency RMBS, which are not guaranteed by government-sponsored enterprises like Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. Market share data is difficult to pinpoint precisely, but EARN is a relatively small player in the overall RMBS market. Competitors include larger REITs and asset managers focusing on fixed income. The market share fluctuates based on the market conditions.
Market Dynamics
Industry Overview
The RMBS market is influenced by factors such as interest rates, housing market trends, and economic conditions. Regulatory changes and investor sentiment also play a significant role.
Positioning
Ellington Residential Mortgage specializes in a niche segment of the RMBS market (non-agency). This allows them to potentially generate higher returns but also exposes them to greater risk compared to broader RMBS investments.
Total Addressable Market (TAM)
The total RMBS market is in the trillions of dollars. Ellington Residential Mortgage, given its market capitalization, occupies a small portion of this TAM, focusing on specific segments like non-agency RMBS to generate higher returns.
