Mfa Financial, Inc.
A mortgage real estate investment trust based in New York, MFA Financial invests in residential mortgage assets—whole loans, mortgage-backed securities, and mortgage servicing rights—and, through its subsidiary Lima One Capital, lends to real estate investors. Founded in 1997 as America First Mortgage Investments, the company later shortened its name to MFA, taking the initials of its original title. It bought Lima One in 2021 after years of buying that firm's loans, turning a longtime customer into full ownership.

Select a row to see that insider’s individual transactions. Sum of the holdings confirmed in the 12 months before this insider's last filing. A Form 4 reports a holding per line — held directly, or through a named trust, partnership or foundation, and in each share class separately — never a person’s total. Lines not restated in that time are left out and shown apart: an active filer restates what they still hold, so a line they did not restate is more often an entity since renamed, whose shares a successor line reports too. An amber marker means some were left out.
Net open-market activity over the last 5 years: -10.63M shares. Grants, option exercises and tax withholding are excluded — they are compensation mechanics, not decisions to buy or sell.
