Redwood Trust is a real estate investment trust. Co. is a finance company focused on several main areas of housing credit. Co. operates its business in three segments: Residential Lending, which consists of a mortgage loan conduit that acquires residential loans from third-party originators for subsequent sale, securitization, or transfer into Co.'s investment portfolio; Business Purpose Lending, which originates and acquires business purpose loans for subsequent securitization or transfer into Co.'s investment portfolio; and Third-Party Investments, which consists of investments in residential mortgage-backed securities issued by third parties. The RWT stock yearly return is shown above.
The yearly return on the RWT stock yearly return page and across the coverage universe of our site,
is a measure of the annual return over the calendar year 2019 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 RWT annual return calculation with any dividends reinvested as applicable (on ex-dates).
