Federal Agricultural Mortgage is engaged in providing a secondary market for a variety of loans made to borrowers in rural America. Co.'s secondary market activities include: purchasing eligible loans (including participations in eligible loans and revolving lines of credit) directly from lenders; purchasing general obligation securities that are issued by lenders and guaranteed by Co. and that are secured by eligible loans, which Co. refers to as AgVantage, a registered trademark of Co.; issuing securities guaranteed by Co. that represent interests in, or obligations secured by, pools of eligible loans; and providing long-term standby purchase commitments for eligible loans. The AGM stock yearly return is shown above.
The yearly return on the AGM stock yearly return page and across the coverage universe of our site,
is a measure of the annual return over the calendar year 2020 for the given stock.
When performing this calculation it is important to factor in dividends, because a financial instrument's annual return is
more than just the change in price if that instrument pays a dividend or coupon.
One way to factor dividends into the return is simply to count them as cash — we don't do
that here. Instead, our website aims to empower investors
by performing the AGM annual return calculation with any dividends reinvested as applicable (on ex-dates).
