Arlington Asset Investment Corporation
Arlington Asset Investment (formerly Friedman, Billings, Ramsey) is a holding company that, through its subsidiaries, invests mostly in residential mortgage-backed securities (MBS). Prior to 2009, Arlington Asset Investment Corporation operated as a real estate investment trust, but it dropped that status in order to gain more flexibility to acquire assets and retain earnings. About one-fourth of its MBS holdings are through agencies such as Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, with the rest being private-label funds. Arlington also manages merchant bank holdings, including interest in equity securities, mezzanine debt, and senior loans. Arlington Asset Investment Corporation changed its name in 2009 to Arlington Asset Investment Corporation.
