About Capstead

Capstead Mortgage Corporation, formed in 1985 and based in Dallas, Texas, is a self-managed real estate investment trust for federal income tax purposes. Capstead invests in a leveraged portfolio of short-duration residential adjustable-rate mortgage ("ARM") securities issued and guaranteed by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, or Ginnie Mae, referred to as agency-guaranteed mortgage securities. Duration is a common measure of market price sensitivity to interest rate movements. A shorter duration generally indicates less interest rate risk.

Capstead's investment strategy is designed to produce attractive risk-adjusted returns over the long term, while reducing, but not eliminating, sensitivity to changes in interest rates. This strategy differentiates the Company from its peers because the ARM loans underlying its investment portfolio reset to more current interest rates within a relatively short period of time allowing for the potential recovery of financing spreads that typically contract during periods of rising interest rates and smaller fluctuations in portfolio values, and therefore book value, caused by changes in interest rates compared to portfolios that contain a significant amount of longer-duration ARM and fixed-rate mortgage securities. Utilizing this strategy, Capstead is widely recognized as potentially the most defensively-positioned residential mortgage REIT from an interest rate and credit risk perspective.
