5 Investment Portfolio Review • Our portfolio is constructed to perform well despite volatile markets as we have focused on high credit quality short duration assets. • We continue to maintain a selective approach to adding assets to help minimize prepayment risk. • We opportunistically allocated our prior capital raises between Agency and non-Agency securities backed by both residential and commercial loans. • As spreads widened in 2011 we rotated our marginal investments into the CMBS sector with our main focus on the multi-family marketplace. • There is a great opportunity to grow this strategy further as CMBS spreads continue to be attractive and agency securities offer mid-teens returns. • We have confidence in our risk profile as we have steadily generated double-digit returns without extending far out of the risk spectrum. • The DX portfolio has weathered multiple market challenges since 2008 including high volatility, lower interest rates, and a faster prepayment environment, the FN/FH buyouts of 2010, wider non-Agency securities spreads.

The range of returns on equity is based on certain assumptions, including assumptions relating to asset allocation percentages and spreads where mortgage assets can be acquired versus a current cost of funds to finance acquisitions of those assets. Rates used represent a range of asset yields and funding costs based on data available as of the date referenced above. Any change in the assumed yields, funding costs or assumed leverage could materially alter the company’s returns. There can be no assurance that asset yields or funding costs will remain at current levels. For a discussion of risks that may affect our ability to implement strategy and other factors which may affect our potential returns, please see the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 and our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended June 30, 2011 and September 30, 2011.

13 Portfolio Summary • Our portfolio has performed well since 2008 and the earnings power today remains relatively intact. • Prepayment risk is mitigated by superior portfolio construction and HARP 2.0 should have less impact on Hybrid ARMs. • Credit risk is mitigated by highly-rated securities, superior loan origination years and concentration in multifamily collateral. • Extension risk is mitigated by the short-duration investment portfolio with 67% of the investments maturing or resetting within five years (as of December 31, 2011). • There continues to be attractive investment opportunities to deploy capital despite the volatile financial markets.
