Ellington Financial acquires and manages mortgage-related, consumer-related, corporate-related, and other financial assets. Co.'s targeted asset classes include investments in the U.S. and Europe (as applicable) in the following categories: residential mortgage-backed securities, for which the principal and interest payments are guaranteed by a U.S. government agency or a U.S. government-sponsored entity; commercial mortgage-backed securities, commercial mortgage loans, and other commercial real estate debt; consumer loans and asset-backed securities (ABS), including ABS backed by consumer loans; mortgage-related and non-mortgage-related derivatives; and other investments. The EFC stock yearly return is shown above.
The yearly return on the EFC stock yearly return page and across the coverage universe of our site,
is a measure of the annual return over the calendar year 2016 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 EFC annual return calculation with any dividends reinvested as applicable (on ex-dates).
