Business Description

Western Asset Mortgage Capital Corp is organized as a Delaware corporation focused on investing in, financing and managing primarily residential mortgage-backed securities, or RMBS, for which the principal and interest payments are guaranteed by a U.S. Government agency, such as the Government National Mortgage Association, or GNMA, or a U.S. Government-sponsored entity, or GSE, including the Federal National Mortgage Association, or FNMA, and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, or FHLMC. It refers to these types of securities as Agency RMBS. Although its core investment strategy will be focused on Agency RMBS, it may opportunistically supplement its portfolio with RMBS that are not guaranteed by a U.S. Government agency or GSE, or non-Agency RMBS, commercial mortgage-backed securities, or CMBS, and other asset-backed securities, or ABS. It refers to these assets as its potential target assets. It intends to finance investments in Agency RMBS and its potential target assets primarily through the use of repurchase agreements. The Company's objective is to provide attractive risk-adjusted returns to its investors over the long term, primarily through dividends and secondarily through capital appreciation. It intends to achieve this objective by selectively acquiring a diversified investment portfolio of assets designed to produce attractive returns across a variety of market conditions and economic cycles. It intends to construct a diversified investment portfolio by focusing on the relative value of securities within various sectors of the mortgage markets and security selection. It will be externally managed and advised by its Manager, an investment advisor registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Legg Mason, Inc., or Legg Mason (NYSE: LM).
