Forward guidance

AGNC believes liquidity concerns will give way to fundamental performance metrics, with prepayments and funding being key determinants of prospective returns. AGNC feels uniquely positioned given their asset composition. Attractive risk-adjusted returns for AGNC are expected over the intermediate term.

Tailwinds

  • The speed and severity of the financial market dislocations were unprecedented by historical standards.
