Chimera is an internally managed, Residential Credit Hybrid Mortgage Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT).

We are a credit-focused hybrid mortgage REIT, meaning that our portfolio contains residential mortgage loans and both Agency and non-Agency mortgage-backed securities. Our hybrid approach allows us to maintain flexibility in portfolio allocation and liability management. Through the use of securitization and leverage, we aim to create long-term value for our shareholders.
