Ellington Residential Mortgage

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 primary emphasis on agency RMBS, non-agency RMBS, and other mortgage-related assets.
Core Business Areas
- Agency RMBS: Investments in residential mortgage-backed securities for which the principal and interest payments are guaranteed by a U.S. Government agency or a U.S. Government-sponsored entity (GSE), such as Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, or Ginnie Mae.
- Non-Agency RMBS: Investments in RMBS that are not guaranteed by a U.S. Government agency or GSE. These securities typically have higher yields but also carry higher risks.
- Other Mortgage-Related Assets: Investments in other types of mortgage-related assets such as mortgage loans and other mortgage-backed securities.
Leadership and Structure
Laurence Penn is the Chief Executive Officer. The company operates as a real estate investment trust (REIT), managed externally by Ellington Management Group, LLC.

Market share data specific to EARN's agency RMBS holdings is not readily available. Competitors include other mortgage REITs such as AGNC Investment Corp. (AGNC) and Annaly Capital Management (NLY).
- Non-Agency RMBS: These securities offer potentially higher yields but involve greater credit and liquidity risk.
