Smriti L. Popenoe, Co-CEO of Dynex Capital (NYSE: DX), breaks down what makes the company different from traditional REITs — and why its dividend yield, currently around 16.5 percent, is so notable. While most REITs invest in physical buildings, Dynex is a mortgage REIT, meaning it invests in the mortgages and mortgage-backed assets that finance those properties. These income-producing mortgage assets allow the company to deliver a high dividend payout to shareholders. Popenoe explains how Dynex structures its portfolio, manages risk, and generates income that supports one of the higher yields in the public markets today. If you’re curious how mortgage REITs operate — or how Dynex produces a double-digit dividend — this breakdown is a must-watch. ✅ Save this for later and follow for more CEO insights, REIT sector analysis, and dividend-focused investing content. #DynexCapital #SmritiPopenoe #MortgageREIT #REITInvesting 🖥️ Try Benzinga Pro FREE with a 14 day trial: be...
