Two Harbors Investment Corp. (TWO) operates as a Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) with a strategic focus on the U.S. mortgage market.

The firm is actively involved in acquiring, funding, and overseeing a diverse portfolio of financial instruments, primarily residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS). This portfolio encompasses both agency RMBS – which are often backed by fixed-rate, adjustable-rate, and hybrid adjustable-rate mortgage loans – as well as non-agency securities, mortgage servicing rights (MSRs), and other related financial assets. Being structured as a REIT grants the company specific federal income tax advantages, contingent on distributing a minimum of 90% of its annual taxable earnings to its shareholders. Established in 2009, Two Harbors Investment Corp. maintains its corporate headquarters in Minnetonka, Minnesota.
