Unidentified Analyst -
Thanks. And thanks for joining us this morning. Next, happy to have AGNC back with us. Here from the company up on stage with me is Gary Kain, CEO and CIO. Also from AGNC in the audience is Sean Reid, Senior Vice President, Head of Strategy and Corporate Development. With that, we're going to do a fireside chat, so we'll kind of get right into the questions.
Questions and Answers:
Unidentified Analyst -Gary, just as we start, can you just talk about what you see as the key factors that you think differentiate AGNC from the other mortgage REITs?
Gary D. Kain - AGNC Investment Corp. - CEO, CIO & Director
Sure. I mean, first off, this is an interesting environment to -- as people have probably seen a number of mortgage REITs have been able to access capital markets that really weren't able to for 5-plus years. That hasn't been the case for AGNC. We've had access to the capital market, been able to raise capital over the past -- fair amount over the past couple years and raised over $2 billion last year.
