Profile

Orchid Island Capital, Inc.ORCFinancials

Invests in Agency RMBS backed by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, or Ginnie Mae, earning spread income from leveraged pass-through and structured RMBS. External management by Bimini Advisors, repo financing, prepayments, interest-rate moves, and hedging outcomes shape results.

Invests in residential mortgage-backed securities issued or guaranteed by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, or Ginnie Mae, with a portfolio organized around pass-through Agency RMBS and structured Agency RMBS.

Generates income from net interest margin on leveraged RMBS and interest income on unleveraged structured holdings. The business is externally managed by Bimini Advisors, has no employees, and operates from Vero Beach.

Relies on short-term repurchase agreements to finance pass-through RMBS and some structured RMBS, while hedging is used around rate and market-value exposure. Earnings and book value are shaped by asset-yield spreads, borrowing costs, prepayments, RMBS prices, and derivative results.
