Well-Positioned for Residential Mortgage Opportunity
(as of dates indicated)
March 31, 2026 December 31, 2025
We strategically grew our balance sheet with a focus on high quality, liquid, Agency MBS, offering compelling risk-adjusted returns. As pricing evolves, other segments of commercial and residential mortgage markets could become attractive.
Includes Agency RMBS TBA dollar roll positions at their implied market value, which are accounted for as "derivative assets (liabilities)" on our consolidated balance sheet.
(1)
Selected Components of Portfolio Returns (excluding mark-to-market)
(2)
(3)
Interest income continues to increase as higher yielding assets have been added to the portfolio and financing costs continue to trend down. Hedges continue to be supportive of portfolio returns.
Interest income includes amounts earned from cash equivalents.
Amounts are subject to change as they represent estimates for amortization of deferred tax hedge gains as of March 31, 2026 that are expected to be distributable as REIT taxable income for the periods presented, but which were recognized in GAAP earnings in prior periods.
Economic net interest income, a non-GAAP measure, is reconciled to GAAP measures on slide 29.
Key Macroeconomic Themes
Dynex remains mindful of the evolving policy, economic and regulatory forces over the short-, medium- and longterm.
Our strategy is built on navigating uncertainty through scenario analysis, preparation and flexibility.
Government Policy
Policymakers are challenging historic norms more rapidly than at any time in modern history. Domestic policy shifts are focused on improving cost of living, where the federal government is focused on bringing down mortgage rates. We expect rapid shifts, some that could prove very effective and others that could have unintended consequences.
Global Power Rupture
Some global leaders have suggested a rupture, much more than a transition, in post-war, rules-based international order. Political rivalry and economic coercion could significantly alter international law and global trade. Policymakers appear likely to favor domestic reliance in the face of unknown global order and human conflict focused on differences in core values rather than similarities.
Fiscal Policy
$2T-plus deficits in the US seem likely with risks to the upside if tariff legal challenges succeed; tax receipt growth may start to slow, while spending continues.
We believe that surging defense spending amid more nationalistic trends is likely in all but many of the smallest of countries. US Treasury policy could be increasingly targeted to control interest rate levels, targeting the US Dollar more than ever and opportunistically managing debt maturities.
Fed Policy
We expect Fed policy will be biased toward lower rates once new Chair Kevin Warsh is confirmed. Volatility in forward policy rate expectations could continue as markets decipher stubborn inflation readings, structurally slower labor markets and the political rhetoric. Rate policy transmission could shift toward repo-based rates, which would be supportive for mortgage repo funding and liquidity. Targeted intervention across the curve could suppress term premium.
System Liquidity
We expect liquidity to remain abundant. Lighter regulation could make it easier for liquidity to flow in dollar financing markets. New entrants could compete for funding, especially in areas related to data center financing. Meanwhile gated investors in private credit could slowly migrate to safer, more liquid asset classes.
Demographics & Tech
Persistent global demographic trends support the demand for income and our overall business model. Housing demand continues to be shaped by millennial and Gen Z household formation and affordability concerns. AI-powered applications are transforming the mortgage ecosystem as organizations prepare for rapid evolution of AI applications to cybersecurity.

Agency RMBS Market Dynamics and Strategy
Near-term policy directives appear likely to support Agency RMBS as long-term regulatory regime eases costs for private capital to own MBS.
Domestic policy uncertainty, especially related to housing, is slowly clearing, presenting opportunities for spread tightening.
Fundamentals:
Positively Sloped Yield Curve - Positive for mortgage carry, including dollar rolls
Focused Refis - Refi response likely high for concentrated segment of high-rate, easily refinanced loans; other segments offer low prepay risk
Slow Housing - We don't expect a material pickup in activity unless primary rates fall below 5.5% amid policy support.
Affordability - Remains stretched; rate relief more possible; supply constraints could slowly ease.
Innovation - Mortgage bankers consolidate and leverage technology to help borrowers extract equity and refi to lower rates as soon as available.
Credit Risk - Risk premium in non-agency MBS remains relatively less attractive but continues to improve. Weather-related insurance costs and risks remain a concern.
Psychology:
Fed Bias - The tension between higher prices and slower growth from oil supply shock has the Fed likely on hold until the Iran conflict endgame becomes clearer.
Fully Priced Credit - Broader credit markets (Corps, ABS) still price little margin for economic slowdown risks as some segments related to data centers inch wider amid supply.
Regulatory/Political Backdrop - Policy could still evolve quickly, but bias appears toward lowering mortgage costs and potentially lighter regulation, especially for commercial banks.
Technicals:
GSE Balance Sheets - The directive for the GSEs to buy
$200 billion of mortgages likely marked the return of a native balance sheet for mortgages and could provide a backstop against material widening in spreads.
Supply - 2026 net issuance will likely increase but still be dwarfed by demand.
Return of Banks - Bank portfolios can still find mortgages against swaps attractive uses of capital, especially with a backstop bid from the GSEs limiting potential widening.
Fund Flows - Money market, bond fund and annuity flows continue to support financing and MBS prices.
The Coupon Stack - Potential for lower mortgage rates increases importance of diversified coupon exposure; specified pools remain resilient amid renewed volatility.
Value:
Periodic Vol - Uncertainty will likely continue to cause asset price volatility as markets respond to early policy proposals in advance of any formal policy changes.
Relative Value - Opportunities continue to arise to adjust exposures across range of coupons and specified pools.
Security Selection - Select seasoned collateral and story pools are expected to offer compelling alpha relative to the mortgage index or current coupon, as mortgage spreads find a new equilibrium level, likely in the range seen before the financial crisis.
CMBS Market Dynamics and Strategy
Stable Agency CMBS offer potential for diversification.
Fundamentals:
Multifamily (MF) - Demographic demand for housing is strong, driving tight markets for MF. High prices and low affordability for single-family support demand for apartments.
Supply - New MF supply, especially in Sunbelt, continues to impact rent growth and occupancy levels. We expect this pressure to abate in the coming years as construction pipelines continue to shrink.
Structural Office Headwinds - Evolving as some cities see return to office trends while space risks obsolescence; vacancies elevated but stabilizing. Trophy assets still outperforming.
Inflation & Rates - Higher cap-rates and financing costs have negatively impacted property values and borrowers' ability to service and/or refinance existing debt. Inflation has resulted in higher property operating expenses.
Delinquencies & Special-Servicing - These balances continue to grow and could ultimately result in further downgrades and losses in certain older non-agency CMBS tranches.
Psychology:
Supportive fiscal and monetary policies - Have generally led to more participation and liquidity in commercial real estate.
Refi Fear - Growth in maturities in coming years is slightly less concerning given lenders' willingness to modify/extend loans.
Technicals:
Issuance - Non-agency CMBS issuance has rebounded due to increases in single asset / borrower transactions, 5-year conduit and CRE CLO deals. Agency CMBS issuance also increased amid lower rates and strong demand. Issuance will likely increase again in 2026.
Demand - Less bank demand in recent years resulted in increased participation from other investor types. Now banks have started to return to this sector, where they easily hedge duration with swaps. Money managers have comprised majority of non-agency CMBS demand.
Value:
Roll-down - CMBS offers potential for additional returns from roll-down.
Spreads - Agency CMBS spreads narrowed with GSE purchase announcements but have recently come under pressure due to geopolitical events.
Relative Value - Agency CMBS spreads lagged some of the macro-driven spread widening in RMBS and Investment Grade corporates, which resulted in elevated secondary sales from banks and asset managers.
More Predictable Cash Flow - Certain senior bonds are easier to hedge, and can help improve convexity profile of the overall portfolio.
Non-Agency Funding - Funding costs often 50+bps above Agency CMBS, requiring wider non-agency CMBS spreads to generate relatively attractive risk-return profiles.
Interest Only - Structured extensions and loan modifications can lead to better returns as underlying loans remain outstanding longer.
Hedging Dynamics and Strategy
Focus on generating returns from the yield spread premium mortgages offer.
Hedging interest rate risk with Treasury futures and interest rate swaps allows us to focus on earning spread income.
Interest rate options offer a compelling hedge for uncertainty.
Fundamentals:
Swap Yields - Lower than Treasury yields by 15-65bps, offering potential to earn more spread income on assets relative to hedges.
Swap vs. Futures - Swap hedge tenor shortens over time without need to roll quarterly, as with futures.
Uncertainty - Surprises remain likely in this global macroeconomic environment with volatility in both directions for interest rates, making it critical to hedge rate exposures carefully.
Options Hedges - Owning options on futures and swaps can adjust portfolio hedges as asset durations change.
Psychology:
Risk Premium - Models of "term premium" suggest trends tilt toward investors demanding higher yield premium on longer maturity bonds, especially UST.
Long-End Bearishness - Positioning has become more balanced in response to the recent rate market gyrations, but market sentiment remains biased toward a steeper curve-particularly here in the US.
De-Dollarization - Confidence in the Dollar as a store of value and the preferred medium of global trade could shift demand for US fixed-income.
Technicals:
Futures vs. Cash UST & Swaps - UST futures are some of the deepest, most liquid markets in the world, trading nearly 24 hours/day, nearly 6 days a week
Rate Trends - Bullish rate trend indicators have turned more neutral during the quarter as markets process the impacts on both inflation and growth of the current oil supply shock.
Swap Spread Trends - After peaking early in the quarter, swap spreads have tightened in response to the broad de-risking across asset classes we have seen during the quarter.
Value:
Yield Curve & Vol Surface - Shape of yield curve and implied volatility across the curve allow for opportunities to generate alpha across hedges.
Capturing Spread - Hedging rate exposures allows investors to capture spread premium of mortgages in a range of yield curve scenarios, including inversions.
Financing Hedge - Hedging rate exposures reduces future funding rate uncertainty.
Funding Market Dynamics and Strategy
Funding availability remains strong.
Fed remains focused on nuances of this market.
Lighter regulation could make it easier and less costly to facilitate financing between lenders and borrowers.
Our strategy emphasizes fostering deep relationships with our partners, managing liquidity for a multitude of scenarios.
Fundamentals:
Evolving Economic Data - Global markets waiting for resolution of conflict with Iran and what the impacts on both inflation and growth will be from the oil supply shock
Federal Reserve Support- Reserve management purchases include monthly acquisitions totaling
$40B, with a reduction expected in the second quarter. Alongside these efforts, standing repo operations are accessible to provide liquidity when markets face stress. These strategies strengthen the Fed's assurance in reserve adequacy and help maintain necessary liquidity across financial markets
Regulatory - Regulatory adjustments have enhanced the environment for banks, fostering stability in the repo market and potentially mitigating volatility
Psychology:
Fundamental and Technical Factors - Overall traders asses repo market environment as stable.This view has been reinforced by observable trading patterns and behaviors in the market
Reporting Periods - Month-end trades have been executed with only modest premiums. Both advance and actual quarter-end turn trades have occurred with minimal pressure, further demonstrating the tranquil sentiment prevailing in the market.
Technicals:
Money Market Funds - Money Markets held roughly
$8.2T in assets as of 3/31. We continue to expect abundant liquidity from these funds amid the broad inflow trend.
Standing Repo - Fed facility available daily during regular afternoon operations and opens selectively in NY mornings as Fed deems necessary to support liquidity; record usage at year-end suggests stigma might be declining.
GSE Cash - Remain a steady and predictable source of liquidity, arriving at regular intervals throughout the month, aiding liquidity and softening rates.
Seasonal Treasury Technicals- At quarter end, we saw the beginning of net negative bill issuance, which could reach approximately $400B through mid-May. This could result in a collateral shortage in repo leading to softer rates during the period.
Value:
Portfolio Financing - proactively monitored market's supply & demand technicals, adjusting our weighted-average maturities as needed, optimizing financing terms while maintaining flexibility.
Prepared for Stress - liquidity sensitivity analysis remains paramount to prepare for event-risk. Despite the current calmness in the market, it is important to avoid complacency and remain vigilant
Spreads to SOFR - Agency RMBS repo traded 13-15bps for most of the first quarter with spreads tightening modestly at the beginning of April.
Dynex Portfolio Positioned to Generate Returns
Income & New Regime
Mortgage spreads remain wide enough to swaps to generate leveraged ROEs, and against the backdrop of a return to a regime where GSEs backstop spread widening, there is potential for greater tightening.
Well Positioned
Existing portfolio can drive spread income and
realize gains from further tightening of spreads as the risk-reward of tactical positioning becomes even more compelling given the potential GSE support for MBS.
High Liquidity
We are operating with ample liquidity in order to protect our portfolio in volatile periods, with $1.3 billion of cash and unencumbered assets, or 46% of equity as of March 31, 2026.
Policy
Lighter regulation improves financing and allows for more investment in RMBS. Policymakers appear currently biased toward actions that improve housing affordability, mostly via lower mortgage rates. The Fed will likely remain biased toward less restrictive policy. GSE transition could see reduction in scope of their activities, limiting supply.
Experience
Seasoned team respectful of and prepared for
complex macro environment. Much of our team worked together during prior regimes where GSE portfolios dominated the supply-demand balance in agency mortgages. Human capital remains a focus and we have made several key decisions to build for future success.
Portfolio value generation through opportunistic investing, deep security selection, and disciplined hedging.
Dynex Positioned to Deliver Total Shareholder Returns
01 Portfolio Returns 03 Valuation Benefits
Total shareholder
Agency mortgages generate income through spread, carry, and security selection.
Government policy and GSE support anchor the market in a tighter long-term spread regime. Volatility is expected and creates opportunity for disciplined, permanent-capital investors.
02 Balance Sheet Strength
High liquidity enables holding risk through volatility and adding exposure at attractive valuations. High-quality assets support income durability and balance-sheet flexibility.
Larger equity base improves trading liquidity and investor access. Increased relevance to institutional and passive investors supports valuation. Greater capital-markets presence lowers cost of capital.
Inclusion in new indices could be a further tailwind.
04 Growth Valuation Cycle
Capital raising expands the investment platform. Portfolio returns combined with increased relevance and resilience reinforce valuation.
Stronger valuation enhances future capital formation and shareholder returns.
returns are driven by
durable portfolio performance and valuation benefits from increased market relevance and liquidity.
