INDUSTRY LEADING PERFORMANCE

7 ♦ While short term repo rates haves remained low since the crisis, we have experienced substantial volatility in both intermediate and longer term interest rates  Three episodes where 5 and 10 year rates have increased over 100 bps ♦ The mortgage market has seen dramatic changes with respect to the prepayment landscape creating a dynamic where positions that performed well in one environment were often the worst performer a few quarters later  2009 - Highest coupon, weakest credit pools significantly outperformed  2010 Q1 - High coupon, weak credit pools were severely impacted by the GSE buyouts of delinquent loans  2010 Q2/Q3 - Stronger credit, newer originations underperformed as mortgage rates fell and prepayment fears spiked  2010 Q4 - Higher coupons were the best performers when rates rose dramatically and hedging practices were critical  2011/2012 - Prepayment protected securities, such as lower loan balance and HARP securities, were critical to performance for most of the period  2013 - Lower coupons and prepayment protected securities were the worst performers and active portfolio rebalancing was critical ♦ The FED’s involvement in the mortgage and Treasury markets has magnified rate, prepayment and spread volatility POST CRISES MARKET LANDSCAPE HAS NOT BEEN BENIGN 10 Yr U.S. Treasury Rate vs. FN/FR 30 Yr Prepayment Rate 0.00% 0.50% 1.00% 1.50% 2.00% 2.50% 3.00% 3.50% 4.00% 4.50% Q1 '09 Q2 '09 Q3 '09 Q4 '09 Q1 '10 Q2 '10 Q3 '10 Q4 '10 Q1 '11 Q2 '11 Q3 '11 Q4 '11 Q1 '12 Q2 '12 Q3 '12 Q4 '12 Q1 '13 Q2 '13 Q3 '13 Q4 '13 Q1 '14 Q2 '14 0% 5% 10% 15% 20% 25% 30% 35% 40% F N/ F R 3 0 Y r P re p a y m e n t Ra te FN/FR 30 Yr Prepayment Rate 10 Yr U.S. Treasury Yield Benign Prepayment Speeds GSE Buyouts High Refi Risk Fast Prepayments Interest Rate Selloff / Benign Prepay Speeds QE3 Tapering Concern Moderate Economic Growth 1 0 Y r U .S .

Hedge fund indices presented above may be subject to biases such as, but not limited to, selection bias, survivorship bias, and backfill bias. In addition, the underlying hedge funds may employ different investing and hedging strategies from AGNC, including investing in non-agency MBS securities, which along with the volatility of the indices and other characteristics, may lead to materially different results from AGNC. The returns of the funds included in the indices are net of applicable fees and expenses.

STRONG RISK MANAGEMENT

13 ♦ We utilize a comprehensive approach to risk management that emphasizes careful asset selection, upfront hedging with Treasuries, swaps and swaptions and ongoing portfolio rebalancing ♦ We adjust the size and type of our hedge instruments based on the risks inherent in our assets for a given market environment ♦ While mortgage spread risk (or “basis risk”) is a significant component of our business, we use asset selection and leverage to size the magnitude of this exposure ♦ We provide investors with detailed information on both our assets and hedges and provide model estimates of both our interest rate and mortgage spread exposure THE PRIMARY OBJECTIVE OF OUR RISK MANAGEMENT ACTIONS IS NOT TO ELIMINATE RISK OR TO LOCK IN A PARTICULAR NET INTEREST MARGIN BUT TO KEEP FLUCTUATIONS IN OUR NET BOOK VALUE WITHIN REASONABLE BANDS OVER A WIDE RANGE OF INTEREST RATE SCENARIOS RISK MANAGEMENT OVERVIEW AGNC Interest Rate Sensitivity 1 As of June 30, 2014 (based on instantaneous parallel shift in interest rates) Interest Rate Shock (bps) Estimated Change in Portfolio Market Value 2 Estimated Change as a % of NAV 3 -100 0.1% 0% -50 0.4% 3% +50 -0.7% -5% +100 -1.5% -11% AGNC MBS Spread Sensitivity (“Basis Risk”) 1 As of June 30, 2014 MBS Spread Shock (bps) Estimated Change in Portfolio Market Value 2 Estimated Change as a % of NAV 3 -25 1.4% 10% -10 0.5% 4% +10 -0.5% -4% +25 -1.4% -10% 1.

SAFE HARBOR STATEMENT UNDER THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995 SAFE HARBOR STATEMENT

NASDAQ: AGNC 3 ♦ As an investor in agency MBS, the two biggest risks we face are:  Interest rate risk, or the risk that changes in interest rates adversely impact our net asset value (“NAV”)  Spread risk, or the risk that changes in the spread between agency MBS and swap or Treasury hedges adversely impact our NAV ♦ Spread risk, although it can be minimized through asset selection and/or leverage, is a risk that is inherent to our business ♦ We actively manage our exposure to interest rate changes through the combination of asset selection and interest rate hedges ♦ The purpose of this presentation is to help investors gain greater insight into our risk management framework and philosophy RISK MANAGEMENT OVERVIEW

NASDAQ: AGNC 4 ♦ As an investor in agency MBS, spread risk is a risk that is inherent to our business  Mortgage spread risk can be mitigated, not eliminated, through a combination of asset selection and leverage management ♦ Through asset selection we can adjust our exposure to mortgage spread risk  15 year fixed rate MBS has significantly less spread risk than 30 year fixed rate MBS  IO and MSR can act as a natural hedge against mortgage spread risk but has limitations ♦ Our exposure to mortgage spread risk is dependent upon the level of interest rates, asset portfolio composition and leverage level MANAGING SPREAD RISK AGNC Estimated NAV Sensitivity (“Basis Risk”) 2 MBS Spread Shock (bps) 6/30/14 6/30/13 6/30/12 -25 10% 13% 9% -10 4% 5% 4% +10 -4% -5% -4% +25 -10% -13% 9% 1.

NASDAQ: AGNC 5 ♦ In order to fully measure the interest rate risk in an agency MBS, it is imperative to capture both the duration and convexity characteristics of the instrument ♦ As an investor in agency MBS, we have sold interest rate options to the homeowner that give them the ability to either prepay or implicitly extend their mortgage at their discretion  The homeowner’s option to prepay or stay in their mortgage longer than anticipated creates negative convexity in agency MBS ♦ Negative convexity causes the duration of the instrument to fluctuate as interest rates change:  As interest rates decline, the negative convexity of an MBS leads to a shortening of the instrument’s duration as homeowners exercise their option to prepay their mortgage  As interest rates increase, the negative convexity of an MBS leads to a lengthening of the instrument’s duration as homeowners exercise their option to extend their mortgage ♦ We provide two estimates of our interest rate risk that capture both the duration and convexity risk in our portfolio:  NAV Sensitivity: percentage change in NAV due to a 1% change in interest rates  Duration Sensitivity: duration gap after a 1% change in interest rates MEASURING INTEREST RATE RISK

NASDAQ: AGNC Refer to the supplemental slide later in this presentation for further discussion on Duration Gap. 6 ♦ On a quarterly basis we disclose our estimated net duration gap, which represents the net duration risk of our assets, liabilities and hedges ♦ The calculation of duration gap for a mortgage backed securities is a model estimate and different models may vary substantially ♦ The calculation of the duration of hedging instruments is generally much more straightforward ♦ Example of duration gap for a 30 year Fannie 3.5% MBS hedged with a 5 year swap MBS Duration………….6.1 years Liabilities & Hedges….(4.6) years Net Duration Gap……..1.5 year ♦ However, as we will discuss, it is critical to incorporate the impact of negative convexity (the change in duration gap when interest rates change) when measuring aggregate book value exposure to changes in interest rates  It is also important to measure and manage duration risk across the yield curve DURATION GAP A duration gap of 1.5 years implies a 1.5% change in price for a 100 bp change in interest rates

NASDAQ: AGNC Refer to the supplemental slide later in this presentation for further discussion on Duration Gap. 1. Durations are expressed in years. 7 ♦ Over the last three years we have generally managed our duration gap within a band of +/- 1 year ♦ Our duration gap tends to be correlated with the level of interest rates:  When interest rates were low we maintained a very small or negative duration gap  When interest rates peaked in 2013, we operated with a larger duration gap AGNC’S HISTORICAL DURATION GAP -0.1 0.4 -0.5 -0.6 -0.2 0.4 0.5 0.9 1.5 1.2 1.0 1.88% 2.21% 1.65% 1.63% 1.76% 1.85% 2.49% 2.61% 3.03% 2.72% 2.53% 0.00% 1.00% 2.00% 3.00% 4.00% 5.00% 6.00% -2.0 -1.0 0.0 1.0 2.0 3.0 1 0 Y e a r U .S .

NASDAQ: AGNC 6 IN THE CURRENT ENVIRONMENT, TBA ASSETS FUNDED IN THE DOLLAR ROLL MARKET OFFER SIGNIFICANTLY BETTER CARRY THAN THE SAME ASSETS FUNDED IN THE REPO MARKET AND HELD ON-BALANCE SHEET REPO VS DOLLAR ROLL FUNDING ♦ In this hypothetical example, the net interest income for one month on a 30 year Fannie Mae 4% is 4.5/32nds ♦ Repo funding assumed to be 30 days at 0.35% ♦ Swap hedge assumed to be a 5 year pay fixed swap at 1.85% ♦ The net interest margin is 170 bps after hedge costs ♦ In this hypothetical example, the net income for a one month roll for 30 year Fannie Mae 4% is 6.5/32nds ♦ TBA “specialness” results in a pick-up of about 2/32nd in price per month or 74 bps per year of additional carry relative to the same assets funded on balance sheet with repo ♦ The net interest margin is 244 bps after hedge costs ♦ The income from the dollar roll funded position is 143% of the income generated from the Repo funded MBS position.  In this example, you would need $1.43 billion in repo funded positions to earn a comparable amount to a $1 billion dollar roll position Note: The hypothetical example above assumes a 30 year 4% FNM MBS with a 3.25% yield at a lifetime constant prepayment rate (“CPR”) of 8% On Balance Sheet Funded Example Dollars * Price in 32nds Interest Income $2,708 8.7 Repo Cost ($292) (0.9) Swap Cost ($1,000) (3.2) Net Interest Income $1,416 4.6 Net Interest Margin 1.70% * dollars per million per month TBA Dollar Roll Example Dollars * Price in 32nds Drop Income $3,031 9.7 Repo Cost $0 0.0 Swap Cost ($1,000) (3.2) Net Interest Income $2,031 6.5 Net Interest Margin 2.44% * dollars per million per month

ACCOUNTING TREATMENT AND TAX IMPLICATIONS OF DOLLAR ROLLS BERNICE BELL

NASDAQ: AGNC ♦ TBA dollar roll transactions are accounted for as a series of derivative transactions under GAAP  TBA contracts are reported at fair value, net of the forward price to be paid or received, in derivative assets/liabilities on our consolidated balance sheet  Dollar roll income and any gains/losses due to fluctuations in fair value are recognized in gain/loss on derivative instruments ♦ We treat TBAs as qualifying income and assets for our gross income and asset tests under our REIT compliance thresholds  Based on a legal opinion of Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP 1 ♦ Dollar roll income and mark-to-market gains/losses are recognized when realized for income tax purposes, which generally corresponds to the TBA settlement date (i.e. monthly)  By comparison, net interest income from MBS held in pool form (“repo funded assets”) is included in taxable income on an accrual basis, while mark-to-market gains/losses are not recognized for income tax purposes until sold ♦ Dollar roll income/loss from TBA contracts is recognized as a short-term capital gain/loss for income tax purposes HOW TBAS FIT INTO A MORTGAGE REIT 1. Opinions of counsel are not binding on the IRS, and no assurance can be given that the IRS will not successfully challenge the conclusions set forth in such opinions. In addition, the opinion of Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP is based on various assumptions relating to our TBAs and is conditioned upon fact-based representations and covenants made by our management regarding our TBAs. 11

NASDAQ: AGNC ♦ As of June 30, 2014, AGNC had $3.89 per common share of unutilized capital loss carry forwards  Incurred as a result of repositioning the portfolio in 2013, which generated significant realized losses for tax purposes ♦ Since dollar roll income is treated as capital gains for tax purposes, it currently serves as an offset against AGNC’s prior year capital loss carry forward and, compared to repo funded assets, results in lower taxable income ♦ Taxable income determines AGNC’s minimum REIT distribution requirements, however, the nature of AGNC’s dividend to shareholders is determined by AGNC’s “Earnings and Profit” ♦ “Earnings and Profit” is a tax measure that generally conforms to taxable income  However, for REITs, neither non-deductible capital losses nor the subsequent utilization of capital loss carry forwards reduces current year “Earnings and Profit,” even though the such utilization reduces a REIT’s current taxable income 1 ♦ Dividend distributions are deemed to first come from a REIT's current year “Earnings and Profit,” and then its accumulated (beginning of year) “Earnings and Profit,” and excess distributions thereafter are considered to be a “Return of Capital”  AGNC’s 2014 dividends are anticipated to exceed its current year taxable income, but are not anticipated to exceed its current year “Earnings and Profit” and, therefore, are unlikely to be treated as a “Return of Capital” to shareholders when the final tax characterization of AGNC’s dividends is determined and reported to shareholders on Form 1099-DIV after the calendar year end  Additionally, AGNC anticipates that its current year dividends will be characterized as ordinary dividend income to shareholders when the final tax characterization is determined CAPITAL GAINS FROM DOLLAR ROLL INCOME ARE CURRENTLY EXCLUDED FROM AGNC’S TAXABLE INCOME AS THEY ARE OFFSET BY AGNC’S PRIOR YEAR CAPITAL LOSS CARRY FORWARD. HOWEVER, CAPITAL LOSS CARRY FORWARDS DO NOT REDUCE AGNC’S DISTRIBUTABLE “EARNINGS & PROFIT” IMPLICATIONS OF DOLLAR ROLL TAX TREATMENT FOR AGNC 1.

3 ♦ The post financial crisis period has been a favorable “cyclical” environment for the mortgage REIT space ♦ We believe that the bulk of the benefits of the structural changes to the mortgage market landscape stemming from the changes to the GSEs have yet to be realized because:  FED MBS purchases have dwarfed the declines in the GSE portfolios  The GSEs/FHA still account for the vast majority of all new originations  New non-agency securitization volumes are negligible  GSE credit risk transfers are just beginning to ramp up ♦ We are confident that the structural shift toward greater reliance on private capital should provide significant opportunities for the mortgage REIT space over the intermediate to longer term, encompassing the agency, non-agency, and MSR sectors INTRODUCTION

9 ♦ Opportunities in the new origination MSR landscape have developed relatively slowly  Significant capital was raised targeting MSR investments over the last 2 years in anticipation of bank sales and attractive returns. This capital will likely be largely invested over the remainder of 2014  Banks have concentrated their sales on legacy, non-performing servicing  Until recently, wide origination margins allowed originators to retain MSR, but this trend is reversing rapidly ♦ New capital requirements for banks and a more onerous regulatory environment for both originators and servicers should significantly decrease the depository footprint in MSR ♦ Lower origination margins and higher servicing multiples should force most non- bank originators to sell the majority of their MSR ♦ Mortgage REITs are well positioned to take advantage of the MSR opportunity over time given their permanent capital, prepayment expertise, and their ability to leverage the hedging benefits of IO type cash flows MORTGAGE SERVICING RIGHTS

10 ♦ Near term:  Little incentive currently to reduce leverage as agency MBS technicals remain favorable and investment returns competitive given dollar roll financing advantages  Active management and willingness to reposition the portfolio as market conditions dictate ♦ Intermediate picture:  Likely operating with somewhat lower leverage with a larger duration gap  Increased focus on IO/MSR cash flows  May consider limited investments in highly rated senior tranches of future non-agency securitizations  Willingness to consider more direct involvement in the origination and sourcing of both MSR and MBS ♦ Longer term:  Higher leverage as structural changes significantly enhance ROEs  Increasing probability of growth opportunities from accretive equity raises as private capital finances a larger percentage of the market as FED holdings decline  Proactive approach to evaluating new opportunities throughout the agency space or with respect to private label surrogates (such as senior tranches) including origination, servicing, financing, and investing WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT FROM AGNC?

11 ♦ Near term:  Little incentive to reduce agency leverage  Maintenance of current legacy non-agency portfolio  Opportunistic investment in GSE risk transfer securitizations  Focus on improving operating efficiencies of servicing operation and diversification of MSR holdings ♦ Intermediate picture:  Lower agency capital allocation with a larger duration gap  Potentially meaningful amount of capital dedicated to GSE risk transfer securities as supply likely to produce opportunities sooner than in other parts of the market (REIT rules could limit involvement to around 20% of income)  Potential to grow involvement in origination and new non-agency securitization (will consider the development of conduit capabilities)  Increased focus on IO/MSR cash flows ♦ Longer term:  Higher aggregate leverage as structural changes significantly enhance ROEs on all MBS investments  Increasing probability of growth opportunities via accretive equity offerings  Proactive approach to evaluating new opportunities throughout the mortgage market WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT FROM MTGE?
