"Our results for the quarter benefited from several factors, including slower than expected prepayment speeds, a larger investment portfolio, lower funding costs and improved valuations on higher coupon agency securities," commented Gary Kain, Chief Investment Officer of AGNC. "While AGNC was well positioned entering the quarter for the significant volatility we witnessed in the market, we continue to actively manage our portfolio to maintain the optimal balance between stockholder returns and the protection of book value. To that end, through the second quarter of 2009, we are pleased to have provided our stockholders with $2.35 per common share in dividends as well as $3.56 per share increase in book value since December 31, 2008, resulting in an economic return(2) of approximately 34% for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and an annualized economic return of approximately 69%."
