Description

Invesco Mortgage Capital Inc. functions as a real estate investment trust (REIT) whose core business involves the acquisition, funding, and management of various mortgage-backed securities (MBS) and other debt instruments linked to the mortgage market. Its diverse investment holdings encompass both residential and commercial mortgage-backed securities (RMBS and CMBS), regardless of whether they are guaranteed by a U.S. government agency or federally chartered entity. The company also allocates capital to credit risk transfer (CRT) securities, which are unsecured debt issued by government-sponsored enterprises, alongside direct residential and commercial mortgage loans and other real estate-centric financing arrangements. As a REIT, Invesco Mortgage Capital Inc. benefits from specific tax provisions, avoiding federal corporate income tax as long as it distributes at least 90% of its taxable earnings to its shareholders. The firm was founded in 2008 and maintains its principal offices in Atlanta, Georgia.
