Pennymac Mortgage Investment Trust (PMT)

Mortgage REITs aren’t the safest of investments as they often rely on factors largely outside of the control. In all likelihood, interest rates are going higher in 2022 and possibly in 2023 as the Federal Reserve tries to control inflation. Mortgage REITs could see a decline in the spread as a result. Thankfully, interest rate hikes should be gradual and still will be below typical levels.
