Description: CIM Chimera Investment

Chimera Investment Corporation (NYSE: CIM) is a U.S.-based real estate investment trust (REIT) that operates through two segments: Investment Portfolio and Residential Origination. The company invests in, originates, and manages a diversified range of mortgage assets, including residential mortgage loans, agency and non-agency mortgage-backed securities (MBS), business purpose and investor loans, mortgage servicing rights, and other real estate-related assets. It also invests across investment grade, non-investment grade, and non-rated securities, and offers third-party advisory services.

As a Mortgage REIT, Chimera is required by federal tax rules to distribute at least 90% of its taxable income as dividends to shareholders. Incorporated in 2007 and headquartered in New York, the company leverages subsidiaries to manage its portfolio and generate returns primarily from the spread between the yield on its mortgage assets and its cost of funding.

Headlines to Watch Out For
  • Agency MBS spreads tighten boosting portfolio net interest income
  • Book value pressured by mortgage credit spread widening
  • Origination volumes fall as mortgage rates climb higher
