Among real estate investment trusts (REITs), one of the most popular subsectors with investors are mortgage REITs (mREITs). Although mREITs can be extremely volatile, their dividend yields are usually the highest among the total REIT universe. Some income-oriented investors try to purchase mREITs when they are out of favor with Wall Street to enhance the dividend yield received and hopefully protect themselves from further share price decline. For those investors, 2022 was a blessing, as rising interest rates blasted the entire sector with losses that in many cases approached 40% to 50%. Dividend yields skyrocketed into the high teens. This year, many of the mREITs have again found their footing. But which of the 19 mREITs are performing the best and should hold the most appeal for investors going forward? Take a look at the four best-performing mortgage REITs in 2023. You won’t find some of the more well-known mREITs, like Annaly Capital Management Inc. (NYSE: NLY ), AGNC Investment Corp. (NASDAQ: AGNC ) or Arbor Realty Trust Inc. (NYSE: ABR ) on this list.

What is a Value Stock? A value stock traditionally has a lower price when compared to stock prices of companies in the same industry. This indicates that the company may be undervalued, as investors are not expressing as much interest in such companies. The most commonly used way to check for value is with the price-to-earnings multiple, or P/E. A low P/E multiple is a good indication that the stock is undervalued.

Mortgage real estate investment trusts (mREITs) are popular with investors seeking high-yielding dividends. But mREITs are not for everyone because they can be quite volatile. Over the past five years, several popular mREITs such as Annaly Capital Management Inc. (NYSE: NLY ) and AGNC Investment Corp. (NASDAQ: AGNC ) have produced negative total returns — even with double-digit dividend yields. Take a look at one mREIT that has not only grown its dividend but, even with a down year in 2022, also shows a positive total return over the past five years. Arbor Realty Trust Inc. (NYSE: ABR ) is a Long Island, New York-based mREIT that initiates bridge and mezzanine loans for commercial and residential properties. Many of its loans originate through Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac programs. Like other mREITs, the spread between the cost of financing a loan and the interest earned from that loan is the profit generated. Many of Arbor Realty Trust’s commercial loans are first mortgage liens that are short term with higher interest rates.

A rising inflation rate has been a drag on the U.S. stock market for much of 2022. The Fed’s recent moves to curb inflation by raising interest rates multiple times may have kept inflation from growing much worse. But as Fed chairman Jerome Powell noted in his speech the other day, high inflation remains a significant ongoing problem, and the Fed will continue raising rates until inflation is substantially reduced. Powell’s early morning speech shook the markets, and all three indices sold off the rest of the day. The Dow and S&P 500 each lost over 3%, while the Nasdaq declined by just under 4%. Curiously, the mortgage real estate investment trust (REIT) sector, which has had a volatile ride throughout 2022, fared somewhat better than the overall market. Annaly Capital Management Inc. (NYSE: NLY ), the largest mortgage REIT, lost 2.09%, but Orchid Island Capital Corp. (NYSE: ORC ), which has lost 42% of its value over the past year , actually gained 0.70%. Arbor Realty Trust Inc. (NYSE: ABR ), which is down nearly 17% over the same time frame , lost 1.75% but also climbed 2.04% after hours.
