ABOUT MFA FINANCIAL, INC.
Read
MFA Financial, Inc. is a specialty finance real estate investment trust (REIT) that primarily invests in residential mortgage assets, including residential whole loans, business-purpose loans, and mortgage-backed securities. The company's competitive moat is enhanced by its vertical integration through Lima One Capital, a wholly owned subsidiary that originates high-yield, business-purpose loans for real estate investors. This proprietary origination capability, combined with active portfolio management of credit-sensitive assets, allows MFA to generate attractive risk-adjusted returns across varying interest rate cycles.
