Peter Federico, President, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Investment Officer, commented that despite a volatile macroeconomic backdrop, the firm delivered a strong 6.7% economic return, noting that elevated mortgage rates reduced projected Agency MBS supply while demand stayed robust, creating a technical backdrop that supported Agency MBS performance and tightened spreads to benchmark rates.
