Guidance and Future Outlook:

- Agency RMBS is expected to benefit from increased participation by GSEs, banks, money managers, and other institutional investors.
- Agency CMBS remains attractive due to elevated yields, stable cash flow characteristics, and diversification benefits.
- Management anticipates that a de-escalation of geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and moderation in interest rate volatility could provide tailwinds.
- The Company intends to maintain prudent leverage, ample liquidity, and strategic portfolio diversification to navigate uncertainty.
