# REIT - Mortgage — Industry Hub

> Quantitative analysis from TrendMatrix. Data for informational use only — not investment advice.

Mortgage REITs invest in mortgage-backed securities and residential mortgages, generating income primarily from the net interest margin between their borrowing costs and mortgage yields. Their earnings are highly sensitive to interest rate movements, which compress margins when rates rise and expand them when rates fall; prepayment risk also poses a significant headwind during declining rate environments.
