Invesco Mortgage Capital Inc. functions as a real estate investment trust (REIT), concentrating on acquiring, funding, and overseeing a diverse portfolio of mortgage-backed securities and other assets linked to real estate. Its holdings include both residential and commercial mortgage-backed securities, encompassing those guaranteed by U.S. government agencies or federally chartered corporations, as well as those lacking such guarantees. The company also invests in credit risk transfer (CRT) securities—unsecured obligations from government-sponsored enterprises—alongside residential and commercial mortgage loans, and various other real estate-related financial arrangements. Established in 2008 and based in Atlanta, Georgia, the company has opted for REIT tax status, which typically allows it to bypass federal corporate income taxes by distributing at least 90% of its taxable earnings to shareholders.
