Agnc Investment Corp.
A mortgage real estate investment trust that puts money into residential mortgage-backed securities — home loans bundled by government-backed agencies like Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and Ginnie Mae — rather than owning physical buildings. It was founded in 2008 as American Capital Agency Corp. by leaders from American Capital, launched in the middle of the financial crisis, and renamed itself AGNC Investment Corp. in 2016 when it took over managing its own business. Its ticker, AGNC, conveniently spells out its own abbreviation.
