Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation and Consolidation Certain disclosures included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K are not required to be included on an interim basis in our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q. We have condensed or omitted these disclosures. Therefore, this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. Our condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") and consolidate the financial statements of the Company and our controlled subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions, balances, revenues and expenses are eliminated upon consolidation. In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, which are necessary for a fair statement of our financial condition and results of operations for the periods presented. Use of Estimates The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in our condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Examples of estimates include, but are not limited to, estimates of the fair values of financial instruments, interest income on mortgage-backed and credit risk transfer securities and allowances for credit losses. Actual results may differ from those estimates. Significant Accounting Policies There have been no changes to our accounting policies included in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. Accounting Pronouncements Recently Issued In January 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board expanded existing accounting guidance for evaluating the effects of reference rate reform on financial reporting. The new guidance expands the temporary optional expedients and exceptions to U.S. GAAP for contract modifications, hedge accounting and other relationships that reference London Interbank Overnight Financing Rate ("LIBOR") to apply to all derivative instruments affected by the market-wide change in the interest rates used for discounting, margining or contract price alignment (commonly referred to as the discounting transition). The guidance can be applied as of January 1, 2020. We are evaluating our contracts that are eligible for modification relief and may apply the elections prospectively as needed. We are currently evaluating what impact the guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements.

We received an unusually high number of margin calls from our repurchase agreement counterparties during March 2020 following significant spread widening in both Agency and non-Agency securities. As a result, we were unable to meet margin calls and were not in compliance with all of the financial covenants of our repurchase agreements as of March 31, 2020. While certain of our repurchase agreement counterparties permitted our repurchase agreements to remain outstanding while we were not in compliance, other counterparties seized and sold securities that we had posted as collateral for our repurchase agreements. As of May 7, 2020, we repaid all of our repurchase agreements that may have been in default. Gains and losses associated with the termination of these repurchase agreements during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 are reported as net gain (loss) on extinguishment of debt in our condensed consolidated statement of operations. We resumed financing the purchase of Agency RMBS with repurchase agreements in July 2020. These repurchase agreements generally bear interest at a contractually agreed upon rate and have maturities of approximately one to six months. Repurchase agreements are accounted for as secured borrowings since we maintain effective control of the financed assets. The repurchase agreements are subject to certain financial covenants. We were in compliance with all of these covenants as of June 30, 2021. Secured Loans During the year ended December 31, 2020, IAS Services LLC, our former wholly-owned captive insurance subsidiary, fully repaid its outstanding secured loans from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis ("FHLBI").

Refer to Note 2 - "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - Fair Value Measurements" of our consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 for a description of how we determine fair value. Agency RMBS collateral pledged is included in mortgage-backed securities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Cash collateral pledged on centrally cleared interest rate swaps and currency forward contracts is classified as restricted cash on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Cash collateral pledged on repurchase agreements and TBAs accounted for as derivatives is classified as due from counterparties on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Cash collateral held that is not restricted for use is included in cash and cash equivalents on our condensed consolidated balance sheets and the liability to return the collateral is included in collateral held payable. Non-cash collateral held is only recognized if the counterparty defaults or if we sell the pledged collateral. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we did not recognize any non-cash collateral held on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. $ in thousands As of Collateral Pledged June 30, 2021 December 31, 2020 Repurchase Agreements: Agency RMBS 8,248,952 7,614,935 Cash 300 700 Total repurchase agreements collateral pledged 8,249,252 7,615,635 Interest Rate Swaps, Currency Forward Contracts and TBAs: Cash — 378 Restricted cash 353,386 244,573 Total interest rate swaps, currency forward contracts and TBAs collateral pledged 353,386 244,951 Total collateral pledged: Agency RMBS 8,248,952 7,614,935 Cash 300 1,078 Restricted cash 353,386 244,573 Total collateral pledged 8,602,638 7,860,586 As of Collateral Held June 30, 2021 December 31, 2020 Repurchase Agreements: Cash — 1,916 Non-cash collateral 10,829 4,226 Total repurchase agreements collateral held 10,829 6,142 Interest Rate Swaps, Currency Forward Contracts and TBAs: Cash 310 1,630 Total interest rate swaps, currency forward contracts and TBAs collateral held 310 1,630 Total collateral held: Cash 310 3,546 Non-cash collateral 10,829 4,226 Total collateral held 11,139 7,772 Repurchase Agreements Collateral pledged with our repurchase agreement counterparties is segregated in our books and records. The repurchase agreement counterparties have the right to resell and repledge the collateral posted but have the obligation to return the pledged collateral, or substantially the same collateral if agreed to by us, upon maturity of the repurchase agreement. Under the repurchase agreements, the respective lender retains the contractual right to mark the underlying collateral to fair value. We would be required to provide additional collateral to fund margin calls if the value of pledged assets declined. We intend to maintain a level of liquidity that will enable us to meet margin calls. Our repurchase agreement collateral pledged ratio (MBS pledged as collateral/amount outstanding) was 105% as of June 30, 2021 (December 31, 2020: 105%). Interest Rate Swaps As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, all of our interest rate swaps were centrally cleared by a registered clearing organization such as the Chicago Mercantile Exchange ("CME") and LCH Limited ("LCH") through a Futures Commission Merchant ("FCM"). We are required to pledge initial margin and daily variation margin for our centrally cleared interest rate swaps that is based on the fair value of our contracts as determined by our FCM. Collateral pledged with our FCM is segregated in our books and records and can be in the form of cash or securities. Daily variation margin for centrally cleared interest rate swaps is characterized as settlement of the derivative itself rather than collateral and is recorded as gain (loss) on derivative instruments, net in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. Certain of our FCM agreements include cross default provisions. TBAs and Currency Forward Contracts

Interest Rate Swaps Our repurchase agreements are usually settled on a short-term basis ranging from one Amounts recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income ("AOCI") before we discontinued cash flow hedge accounting for our interest rate swaps are reclassified to interest expense on repurchase agreements on the condensed consolidated statements of operations as interest is accrued and paid on the related repurchase agreements over the remaining life of the interest rate swap agreements. We reclassified $5.4 million and $10.8 million as a decrease (June 30, 2020: $4.5 million and $14.6 million as a decrease) to interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively. We increased the amount of gains and losses reclassified as a decrease to interest expense during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 by $2.7 million because it was probable that the original forecasted repurchase agreement transactions would not occur by the end of the originally specified time period . During the next 12 months, we estimate that $21.2 million will be reclas sified as a decrease to interest expense, repurchase agreements. As of June 30, 2021, $41.3 million (December 31, 2020: $52.1 million) of unrealized gains on discontinued cash flow hedges, net are still included in accumulated other comprehensive income and will be reclassified as a decrease to interest expense, repurchase agreements over a period of time through December 15, 2023. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we had interest rate swaps whereby we pay interest at a fixed rate and receive floating interest based on 1-month LIBOR with the following maturities outstand ing, excluding interest rate swaps with forward start dates. $ in thousands As of June 30, 2021 Maturities Notional Amount Weighted Average Fixed Pay Rate Weighted Average Floating Receive Rate Weighted Average Years to Maturity 3 to 5 years 2,250,000 0.20 % 0.09 % 3.7 5 to 7 years 1,775,000 0.43 % 0.08 % 6.2 7 to 10 years 2,275,000 0.60 % 0.08 % 8.7 Total 6,300,000 0.41 % 0.09 % 6.2 $ in thousands As of December 31, 2020 Maturities Notional Amount Weighted Average Fixed Pay Rate Weighted Average Floating Receive Rate Weighted Average Years to Maturity 3 to 5 years 2,250,000 0.20 % 0.15 % 4.2 5 to 7 years 1,775,000 0.43 % 0.15 % 6.7 7 to 10 years 2,275,000 0.60 % 0.15 % 9.2 Total 6,300,000 0.41 % 0.15 % 6.7 As of June 30, 2021, we held $1.3 billion notional amount of interest rate swaps with forward start dates that will receive floating interest based on 1-month LIBOR with a weighted average maturity of 21.2 years and a weighted average fixed pay rate of 1.29%. We did not hold any interest rate swaps with forward start dates as of December 31, 2020. As of June 30, 2021, we had interest rate swaps whereby we pay floating interest based on 1-month LIBOR and receive interest at a fixed rate with the following maturities outstanding.

The interest rate swaptions provide us the option to enter into interest rate swap agreements for a predetermined notional amount, stated term and pay and receive interest rates in the future. The premium paid for interest rate swaptions is reported as a derivative asset in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. The premium is valued at an amount equal to the fair value of the swaption that would have the effect of closing the position adjusted for nonperformance risk, if any. The difference between the premium and the fair value of the swaption is reported in gain (loss) on derivative instruments, net in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. If an interest rate swaption expires unexercised, the loss on the interest rate swaption would equal the premium paid. If we sell or exercise an interest rate swaption, the realized gain or loss on the interest rate swaption would equal the difference between the cash or the fair value of the underlying interest rate swap received and the premium paid. We use currency forward contracts to help mitigate the potential impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on our investments denominated in foreign currencies. We recognize realized and unrealized gains and losses associated with the purchases or sales of currency forward contracts in gain (loss) on derivative instruments, net in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. As of June 30, 2021, we had $18.0 million (December 31, 2020: $33.1 million) of notional amount of currency forward contracts related to an investment in an unconsolidated venture denominated in Euro. Credit Derivatives Our GSE CRTs purchased prior to August 24, 2015 were accounted for as hybrid financial instruments consisting of a debt host contract and an embedded credit derivative. Embedded derivatives associated with GSE CRTs were recorded within mortgage-backed and credit risk transfer securities, at fair value, on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. TBAs We primarily use TBAs that we do not intend to physically settle on the contractual settlement date as an alternative means of investing in and financing Agency RMBS.

Offsetting Assets and Liabilities	Jun. 30, 2021
Offsetting [Abstract]
Offsetting Assets and Liabilities	Offsetting Assets and Liabilities Certain of our repurchase agreements and derivative transactions are governed by underlying agreements that generally provide for a right of offset under master netting arrangements (or similar agreements) in the event of default or in the event of bankruptcy of either party to the transactions. Assets and liabilities subject to such arrangements are presented on a gross basis in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The following tables present information about the assets and liabilities that are subject to master netting agreements (or similar agreements) and can potentially be offset on our condensed consolidated balance sheets at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. The daily variation margin payment for centrally cleared interest rate swaps is characterized as settlement of the derivative itself rather than collateral. As of June 30, 2021, our derivative liability of $17.2 million (December 31, 2020: derivative liability of $5.5 million) related to centrally cleared interest rate swaps is not included in the table below as a result of this characterization of daily variation margin.

(2) Cash collateral pledged by us on our currency forward contracts, TBAs and centrally cleared interest rate swaps was $353.4 million and $245.0 million as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. Cash collateral pledged on our centrally cleared interest rate swaps is settled against the fair value of these swaps and is therefore excluded from the tables above. We held cash collateral on our derivatives of $310,000 and $1.6 million at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. (3) The fair value of securities pledged against our borrowings under repurchase agreements was $8.2 billion and $7.6 billion at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. We pledged cash collateral of $300,000 and $700,000 under repurchase agreements as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. We held cash collateral of $1.9 million under repurchase agreements as of December 31, 2020. We did not hold cash collateral under repurchase agreements as of June 30, 2021.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value of Financial Instruments	Fair Value of Financial Instruments A three-level valuation hierarchy exists for disclosure of fair value measurements based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. Observable inputs reflect readily obtainable data from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect our market assumptions. The three levels are defined as follows: • Level 1 Inputs – Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets. • Level 2 Inputs – Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable. • Level 3 Inputs – Instruments with primarily unobservable value drivers. The following tables present our assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

Related Party Transactions	Related Party Transactions Our Manager is at all times subject to the supervision and oversight of our Board of Directors and has only such functions and authority as we delegate to it. Under the terms of our management agreement, our Manager and its affiliates provide us with our management team, including our officers and appropriate support personnel. Each of our officers is an employee of our Manager or one of its affiliates. We do not have any employees. Our Manager is not obligated to dedicate any of its employees exclusively to us, nor is our Manager obligated to dedicate any specific portion of time to our business. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, we reimbursed our Manager $261,000 and $559,000 (June 30, 2020: $286,000 and $558,000) for costs of support personnel, respectively. We invested $1.9 million in money market or mutual funds managed by affiliates of our Manager as of December 31, 2020. The investments are reported as cash and cash equivalents on our condensed consolidated balance sheets as they are highly liquid and have original or remaining maturities of three months or less when purchased. We did not have any investments in money market of mutual funds managed by affiliates of our Manager as of June 30, 2021. Management Fee Our management fee is equal to 1.50% of our stockholders' equity per annum. For purposes of calculating the management fee, stockholders' equity is calculated as average month-end stockholders' equity for the prior calendar quarter as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Stockholders' equity may exclude one-time events due to changes in U.S. GAAP and certain non-cash items upon approval by a majority of our independent directors. We do not pay any management fees on our investments in unconsolidated ventures that are managed by an affiliate of our Manager.

The cash redemption price for each share of Series A Preferred Stock was $25.00. The excess of the consideration transferred over carrying value is accounted for as a deemed dividend and resulted in a reduction of $4.7 million in net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021. Prior to redemption, holders of our Series A Preferred Stock were entitled to receive dividends at an annual rate of 7.75% of the liquidation preference of $25.00 per share or $1.9375 per share per annum.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation and Consolidation	Basis of Presentation and Consolidation Certain disclosures included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K are not required to be included on an interim basis in our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q. We have condensed or omitted these disclosures. Therefore, this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.
Consolidation	Our condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") and consolidate the financial statements of the Company and our controlled subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions, balances, revenues and expenses are eliminated upon consolidation. In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, which are necessary for a fair statement of our financial condition and results of operations for the periods presented.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in our condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Examples of estimates include, but are not limited to, estimates of the fair values of financial instruments, interest income on mortgage-backed and credit risk transfer securities and allowances for credit losses. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
Accounting Pronouncements Recently Issued	Accounting Pronouncements Recently Issued In January 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board expanded existing accounting guidance for evaluating the effects of reference rate reform on financial reporting. The new guidance expands the temporary optional expedients and exceptions to U.S. GAAP for contract modifications, hedge accounting and other relationships that reference London Interbank Overnight Financing Rate ("LIBOR") to apply to all derivative instruments affected by the market-wide change in the interest rates used for discounting, margining or contract price alignment (commonly referred to as the discounting transition). The guidance can be applied as of January 1, 2020. We are evaluating our contracts that are eligible for modification relief and may apply the elections prospectively as needed. We are currently evaluating what impact the guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements.
