Company Commentary
"Agency RMBS valuations were negatively impacted during the second quarter as persistent uncertainty regarding near-term monetary policy led to an increase in interest rate volatility. In addition, interest rates rose and swap spreads tightened as investor expectations for an increased pace of Treasury supply took hold. Against this backdrop, our higher coupon Agency RMBS investments underperformed, contributing to an 8.0% decline in book value per common share to $9.27. Combined with our $0.40 common stock dividend, this resulted in an economic return of (4.1)% for the quarter." - John Anzalone, Chief Executive Officer
