Company Ellington Credit Company

Ellington Credit Company, formerly Ellington Residential Mortgage REIT, is a closed-end fund. The Company is focused on acquiring, investing in, and managing secondary collateralized loan obligations (CLO) mezzanine debt and equity tranches. The Company’s primary objective is to generate attractive risk-adjusted total returns for its shareholders by making investments in multiple parts of the CLO capital structure, including mezzanine debt and equity tranches. The Company select investments for their ability to provide a total return to drive a sustainable earnings stream and book value growth over a long-term horizon, rather than focusing just on current yield. The Company also takes a trading-oriented approach, which seeks to take advantage of pricing inefficiencies in the CLO market, as opposed to simply buy-and-hold. It is externally managed and advised by Ellington Credit Company Management LLC.
