About TWO Harbors Investment CORP.

Two Harbors Investment Corp. (NYSE: TWO) is a United States-listed company traded on the NYSE and structured as an internally managed real estate investment trust, or REIT. Founded in 2009 and organized under Maryland law, the company is best understood as a mortgage REIT rather than a traditional property landlord. Its core business is to invest in, finance, and manage mortgage servicing rights (MSR) and Agency residential mortgage-backed securities (Agency RMBS), making the company highly sensitive to interest-rate moves, mortgage prepayment behavior, funding costs, and spread dynamics. ([sec.gov](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1465740/000146574024000106/twoannualreportpostingvers.pdf?utm_source=openai)) Two Harbors’ main operating strengths are centered on residential mortgage finance. MSR represent the rights to service mortgage loans, collect fees, and administer borrowers’ accounts, while Agency RMBS are securities backed by residential mortgages associated with U.S. government-sponsored enterprises or agencies. The company also operates RoundPoint Mortgage Servicing LLC, its servicing platform, which management has described as one of the largest servicers of conventional loans in the country. This combination of assets and operating capabilities gives Two Harbors a differentiated profile versus mortgage REIT peers that rely more heavily on pure asset spread exposure. ([sec.gov](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1465740/000146574024000106/twoannualreportpostingvers.pdf?utm_source=openai)) From a market-positioning standpoint, Two Harbors competes in a specialist niche where portfolio construction, hedging discipline, and balance-sheet management are critical. Performance depends less on physical real estate and more on credit-market conditions, repo funding, mortgage rate expectations, and the company’s ability to manage duration and convexity risk. The MSR franchise can provide a relatively defensive counterweight to Agency RMBS exposure, especially when refinancing incentives are low and mortgage borrowers are less likely to prepay, which tends to support the value of servicing rights. ([sec.gov](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1465740/000146574024000106/twoannualreportpostingvers.pdf?utm_source=openai)) Recent company disclosures have highlighted the operational integration of RoundPoint, including the transfer of all servicing in 2024 and a servicing book exceeding 900,000 loans at that time. More recent earnings materials and risk disclosures point to a still-volatile rate environment, ongoing attention to interest-rate risk, and a focus on strategic execution, legal matters, and REIT compliance. For investors in France, Belgium, and Switzerland, Two Harbors should therefore be viewed as a U.S. mortgage-finance REIT with a financial, rate-sensitive earnings model rather than as a conventional property company.
