Core business and investment focus
Invesco Mortgage Capital Inc. describes its business model as centered on investing in, financing and managing mortgage-backed securities and other mortgage-related assets. The company’s public filings and earnings releases indicate that its investment portfolio has consisted largely of:
- Agency RMBS, including 30-year fixed-rate pass-through securities with various coupon levels.
- Agency CMBS, which the company cites as providing diversification benefits relative to its Agency RMBS holdings.
- Agency collateralized mortgage obligations (Agency CMO) and, at times, small positions in non-Agency mortgage-backed securities.
The company finances its portfolio primarily through repurchase agreement borrowings secured by its Agency RMBS and Agency CMBS positions. It also utilizes interest rate swaps and U.S. Treasury futures as part of its interest rate risk management, as reflected in detailed tables of swap and futures positions in its quarterly financial results.
