; (ii) Agency RMBS; (iii) non-Agency RMBS; and (iv) other mortgage-, residential housing-, and credit-related assets, as well as strategic investments in companies from which we purchase, or may in the future purchase our targeted assets.  Subject to maintaining our qualification as a REIT and the maintenance of our exclusion from registration as an investment company under the Investment Company Act, we also may opportunistically acquire and manage various other types of mortgage-, residential housing- and other credit-related or alternative investments that we believe will compensate us appropriately for the risks associated with them, including, without limitation, CMBS, collateralized mortgage obligations, MSRs, excess mortgage servicing spreads, securities issued by newly originated securitizations, including credit sensitive securities from these securitizations, ABS and debt or equity investments in alternative assets or businesses.

Looking ahead, we expect to maintain a disciplined and measured approach to portfolio growth, supported by the integration of Constructive’s origination platform and our continued focus on high-quality, income-producing assets. We believe our current balance sheet, diversified capital sources and expanded origination capacity position us to capitalize on market opportunities, further scale recurring earnings, and enhance long-term stockholder value.
