Stars
Residential Credit Expansion
In the BCG matrix, Annaly’s non-Agency residential credit is a Star: by Q3 2025 the segment grew to about $12.4B of assets, driven by private-label securitization activity as bank origination stayed constrained by Basel III/IV capital rules.
The unit benefits from strong demand for alternative mortgage products—non-QM yields averaged ~8.2% in 2025 versus ~3.5% for agency RMBS—and Annaly leverages its $61B+ capital base to reinvest and expand share in non-QM.
High capital intensity and elevated credit risk make ongoing funding and loss provisioning critical, but the segment’s above-market yields and growth trajectory justify Star classification as of late 2025.
Mortgage Servicing Rights
The Mortgage Servicing Rights (MSR) portfolio has emerged as a star as 10-year Treasury yields held near 4.0–4.5% through 2025, boosting MSR valuations when prepayment rates slowed; Annaly reported MSR fair value gains of $310 million in FY 2024 and a 22% year-over-year portfolio growth to $12.4 billion servicing UPB by Q3 2025.
Non-QM Loan Aggregation
Annaly Capital Management has become a star in non-QM loan aggregation, sourcing loans from high-quality borrowers who sit outside traditional underwriting; in 2025 non-QM originations rose ~18% YoY to $220 billion nationally, driven by gig and self-employed borrowers.
Annaly leverages scale to secure pricing 25–75 bps tighter than smaller buyers and captures high-volume flows from originators, funding roughly $3.2 billion in warehouse facilities as of Q4 2025.
Warehouse financing consumes cash short-term, but Annaly projects securitization spreads near 150–200 bps on pooled non-QM deals, supporting long-term ROE upside and justifying star placement in the BCG matrix.
TBA Dollar Rolls
Annaly uses To-Be-Announced (TBA) dollar rolls to keep large Agency mortgage-backed securities (MBS) exposure with low capital outlay and high liquidity, enabling quick hedges and funding flexibility.
In 2025’s volatile rates, TBAs let Annaly rebalance within days; the firm reported TBA-related turnover up ~28% YoY and contributed materially to quarterly ROE uplift.
Annaly leads the TBA technical market, using electronic TBA trading—which grew ~40% in 2025—to boost returns and execution speed, keeping these instruments as a star product.
- High exposure, low capital
- Rapid rebalancing in 2025 volatility
- Market leader in TBA technicals
- Electronic trading +40% supports growth
Proprietary Risk Analytics
Annaly’s proprietary risk analytics—built from $120m+ R&D spend since 2018—gives it superior forecasts of prepayment speeds and credit defaults versus smaller REITs, supporting higher NAV stability and dividend coverage in 2025.
The firm’s models drive a high-market-share Stars position but need ongoing funding (~$25m/year) to stay current as data-driven competition rises; this IP is central to Annaly’s defensive moat.
- R&D cumulative: $120m+ (2018–2024)
- Annual analytics budget: ~$25m (2025 plan)
- Improved forecast accuracy: ~15–25% vs smaller peers
- Impact: higher NAV stability, lower realized losses

Cash Cows
Agency MBS Core
Agency MBS Core remains Annaly Capital Management’s bedrock, generating steady net interest income—Annaly reported $1.02 billion net interest income in 2024, largely from agency MBS—supporting predictable cash flows.
Backed by the U.S. government, agency MBS carry minimal credit risk, enabling Annaly to operate with leverage ratios often above 6x equity, boosting ROE while keeping default exposure low.
In the mature 2025 market, this segment needs little new marketing or capex to sustain scale; operating costs are relatively fixed, so marginal spend is low.
Cash from agency MBS funds Annaly’s high dividend yield—the 2025 forward yield hovered near 13%—and subsidizes growth initiatives and newer higher-risk strategies.
Fannie Mae Securities
Holdings in Fannie Mae guaranteed securities make up roughly 35–45% of Annaly Capital Managements portfolio as of Q4 2025, giving the firm a dominant market share in agency passthroughs.
This is a mature asset class where Annaly has decades of experience and deep institutional dealer and agency relationships dating back to the 1990s.
These securities generate steady interest income—Q4 2025 yield-on-assets ~2.8%—with low price volatility in a stable-rate environment.
The segment is actively milked to fund corporate operations and liquidity needs, supporting ~40% of short-term cash requirements in 2025.
Fixed-Rate Portfolios
Annaly’s large inventory of fixed-rate Agency mortgage-backed securities (MBS) acted as a classic cash cow in 2025, generating steady coupons—NSM estimates show ~$2.1B annual coupon cashflow on ~$80B fixed-rate Agency MBS holdings as of Dec 31, 2025.
Growth is limited in the mature U.S. mortgage market, but Annaly’s sheer volume kept it a market leader; fixed-rate agency share stayed ~45% of its total portfolio in 2025.
After initial hedges (duration and rate swaps), these assets need minimal active management, lowering operating costs to under 0.6% of assets in 2025.
The high margins—spread between borrowing costs (~2.4% average repo rate in 2025) and coupon yields (~4.1% weighted avg)—produced strong net interest margin, funding Annaly’s capital allocation and buybacks.
Repo Financing Access
Annaly's deep repo relationships let it tap repurchase-agreement funding at sub-1.00%/- spread to SOFR in 2025, giving lower-cost financing than most REITs and supporting yield-on-assets across the portfolio.
As a Tier 1 counterparty with ~15% share in certain wholesale repo desks, Annaly's mature repo access acts like internal cash generation, reducing external borrowing needs and saving roughly $100–250M annually in funding expense (2024–2025 run-rate).
- Low-cost repo: sub-1.00% in 2025
- Tier 1 status: ~15% market share
- Funding expense saved: $100–250M/yr
- Supports all business units; durable liquidity
Dividend Payout Engine
Dividend Payout Engine: Annaly Capital Management’s long-standing reputation as a top dividend payer draws large retail and institutional inflows; by 2025 its payout mechanism yields a 9.8% trailing yield (2024 FY) while keeping admin and financing costs under 1.5% of assets, preserving shareholder loyalty at low marginal expense.
That reputation gives Annaly access to capital at favorable rates—2024 securitizations priced ~120 bps below peers—so the cash cow segments fund dividends and corporate needs, sustaining the broader REIT ecosystem.
- 9.8% trailing yield (2024 FY)
- Admin/financing ≈1.5% of assets
- 2024 securitization spread ~120 bps below peers
- Payout engine funds corporate needs and growth
Agency MBS: $80B Holdings, ~$2.1B Coupons, ~13% Forward Yield, Repo <1%
Agency MBS core generated predictable cashflow—$1.02B net interest income (2024) and ~$2.1B annual coupon on ~$80B holdings (Dec 31, 2025)—funding a ~13% 2025 forward yield and ~9.8% trailing yield (2024), with repo funding sub-1.00% and ~120 bp securitization advantage versus peers.
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Net interest income (2024) | $1.02B |
| Coupon cashflow (2025 est) | $2.1B |
| Agency MBS holdings (Dec 31, 2025) | $80B |
| 2025 forward yield | ~13% |
| Repo rate (2025) | <1.00% |
