"Annaly Capital Management is the bedrock of the REM ETF, with a full-year 2025 EPS of $2.92 covering the $2.80 annual dividend, and its net interest spread expanded from roughly 0.4% to nearly 1% year-over-year."
"AGNC Investment Corp. pays a monthly $0.12 dividend that has been consistent for over 24 months, with CEO Peter Federico noting that returns in the marketplace exceed their dividend yield."
The iShares Mortgage Real Estate ETF (REM) provides a 9.55% dividend yield through a portfolio entirely focused on mortgage REITs. These REITs borrow at short-term rates and invest in longer-duration mortgage assets, benefiting from the interest rate spread. The top five holdings, including Annaly Capital Management and AGNC Investment Corp., significantly influence the fund's performance. Annaly's earnings cover its dividend, while AGNC maintains a consistent monthly payout, indicating a stable income stream for investors.
