Today’s article highlights one of the best ways to earn a monthly income: from other people’s mortgages. You see, most people who borrowed money to buy their house make mortgage payments every month. But the payments don’t always go to the bank. Sometimes, these loans get packaged together into a security that investors can buy. And the monthly payments of the underlying mortgages get passed on to the investors of that mortgage-backed security (MBS).
AGNC Investment Corp (NASDAQ:AGNC) is one of these investors. Headquartered in Bethesda, Maryland, the company invests primarily in residential mortgage-backed securities. As of December 31, 2017, AGNC had a $72.8-billion investment portfolio. The company’s business is simple but profitable. AGNC generates an income from the interest earned on its investment assets and, after paying the associated borrowing and hedging costs, it passes some of the profits to shareholders.
