Dr. Davis previously served on the board from May 2008 until March 2025, when he resigned to take on the role of Chief Housing Economist for the Council of Economic Advisors to the President.

AGNC Investment specializes in investing in Agency residential mortgage-backed securities (Agency MBS), which are protected against credit losses by government-sponsored enterprises like Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, or Ginnie Mae.

Since its inception in 2008, AGNC has distributed over $15 billion in common stock dividends, underscoring its role as a key player in providing private capital to the U.S. residential housing market.
