About ARMOUR Residential REIT

ARMOUR Residential REIT places capital into residential mortgage-backed securities connected to the U.S. housing market. A large share of its holdings consists of MBS issued or backed by government-sponsored entities and by the Government National Mortgage Association, drawn from pools of fixed-rate, hybrid adjustable, and adjustable-rate home loans. The company is chiefly known for concentrating its investment activity in this area of government-linked mortgage securities.

Beyond its core MBS holdings, the portfolio also includes unsecured bonds and debt issued by government-sponsored entities, U.S. Treasury securities, and money market funds, as well as other mortgage-backed securities whose payments do not carry backing from a government body or agency. Operating as a Real Estate Investment Trust under the Internal Revenue Code, ARMOUR distributes earnings to shareholders, and the distributed portion is not subject to corporate income tax.

The company was established in 2008 and is based in Vero Beach, Florida. Its shares trade under the ticker ARR.
