AGNC Investment, a mortgage REIT with a 15.5% dividend yield, attracts investors despite risks.

AGNC Investment Corporation, a mortgage REIT offering a 15.5% dividend yield, is drawing interest from income-focused investors. Unlike traditional REITs, AGNC buys mortgage-backed securities rather than physical properties, exposing it to risks such as interest rates and credit. The company maintains a stable $0.12 dividend per share monthly and trades at a low valuation. However, investors should be cautious due to potential sustainability issues with the high dividend and the company's history of significant share value drops.
