2Q17 Highlights
• Expanded allocation to fixed-rate Agency securities by investing in 30-year fixed-rate
Agency RMBS TBA securities with a cost basis of $416.3 million at June 30, 2017
◦ Combined with Agency CMBS (Fannie Mae DUS), the Company had $1.7 billion in
fixed-rate securities at June 30, 2017
◦ Increased adjusted leverage(1) to 6.0x at June 30, 2017 versus 5.8x at March 31,
2017
◦ Expect to continue increasing leverage and investing capital opportunistically for
the balance of 2017
• Reallocated capital away from short-duration lower yielding investments given the
flatter US Treasury curve and the prospect for faster prepayments. Sold $271.4 million
in short and current reset hybrid ARMs and had $63.7 million in paydowns
◦ Hybrid ARM balance has declined over $462 million, or almost 40%, since
December 31, 2016
• Increased interest rate swaps by a net $990 million to substantially mitigate the risk to
higher funding costs and short-term interest rates for the remainder of 2017, and
adjusted the hedge position for the addition of 30-year TBA securities
(1) Includes TBA positions at cost (as if settled) of $416.3 million as a liability representing the off-balance sheet financing risk related to TBA securities.

Investment Strategy
Diversified investment approach that performs in a variety of market environments
• Dynamic and disciplined capital allocation model enables capturing
long-term value
• Invest in a high quality, liquid asset portfolio of primarily Agency
investments, as of June 30, 2017
◦ 87% Agency guaranteed
◦ 97% AAA rated
• Diversification is a key benefit
◦ Balance between commercial and residential sectors provides
diversified cash flow and prepayment profile
◦ Agency CMBS protect the portfolio from extension risk. High
quality CMBS IO add yield and are intended to limit credit
exposure and prepayment volatility vs. lower rated tranches.
◦ Agency fixed rate RMBS will allow us to grow our balance sheet
opportunistically.
• Flexible portfolio duration position to reflect changing market
conditions
8
• This asset class offers the opportunity to earn an above average return over the long term
versus other sectors today. This is unique for Dynex as over the last ten years we have always
had more attractive alternatives in other sectors.
• The Federal Reserve balance sheet reduction has been well telegraphed and appears priced
into the market today. Additional spread widening would present an opportunity to reallocate
out of other sectors into Agency residential RMBS. We believe additional spread widening
would be limited by demand for these high quality assets from crossover buyers.
• The macroeconomic environment continues to be supportive for spread products. Two major
central banks (BoJ and ECB) continue to inject liquidity through large scale asset purchases
supporting valuations across sectors. This is a key risk factor and we continue to be vigilant on
this issue.
• Housing continues to be a major issue in the U.S. Housing finance reform debate is dominated
by the need for private capital as the GSEs' footprint shrinks in this market. Potential change
in government policy could present a major business opportunity for Dynex shareholders.
• The risk adjusted return and the liquidity of 30-year fixed-rate RMBS more than compensate
for the relatively higher duration drift vs. less liquid ARMs. The incremental liquidity also gives
us the ability to shrink or grow the balance sheet rapidly.
Fixed Rate 30-Year Strategy

Macroeconomic Themes
Our core macroeconomic views center around the following themes:
• Global economic fundamentals have improved - but still fragile
• U.S. fundamentals - inflation declining; GDP increasing; employment improving
• Government policy - monetary, regulatory, fiscal - will continue to drive returns and is
more uncertain today than at any point in the last decade
◦ Composition and culture of the Federal Reserve could change over the next 2
years
◦ Economic environment increases potential tightening/easing cycle by the Fed
similar to 1994-1995
◦ Fed intends to reduce MBS/Treasury portfolio
• High asset prices reflect global demand for yield and significant QE liquidity injections
from central banks
• Global debt and US debt are at all time high levels, creating a fragile global economy
vulnerable to exogenous events
• Globalization has created an irreversible connectedness between our economy and the
rest of the world
10
Long-Term Positive Trends
Our business model is supported by positive long-term trends:
• U.S. demographic trends are driving a significant increase in household
formation and therefore more demand in multifamily and single-family
housing
• Global demographic aging trends are driving a demand for income/yield
investments
• As government participation wanes there is a large need for private capital
and expertise in the housing finance system
• The outlook for the regulatory environment is improving and could provide
both investment and financing opportunities
11
Risk and Investment Posture
• Interest Rate Risk: We have structured the portfolio to be more interest rate neutral and we have now
included hedges incorporating the risk profile of 30-year fixed rate RMBS. There are many global factors
that will ultimately determine the level of interest rates. We expect to dynamically and opportunistically
manage our profile including the addition of other instruments such as options and swaptions.
• Spread Risk: Spreads on all major fixed income asset classes are close to their tightest levels since 2014.
Volatility in high quality asset spreads has been muted by central bank quantitative easing activities. The
return offered by Agency 30-year fixed rate RMBS is greater than that offered by riskier assets. While the
Fed's reinvestment policy could impact pricing in this sector, we have increased our allocation to this
investment as we believe long term returns are compelling and accretive. Asset spreads could be vulnerable
to widening due to changes in central bank involvement in these markets, which would present an
opportunity to add assets.
• Credit Risk: We remain invested in the highest quality assets, which includes Agency and AAA rated securities.
Credit spreads on lower rated tranches have tightened substantially and are vulnerable to economic
weakness and sector related default risk. This risk is further exacerbated when these positions are funded
with short term repo – a risk we do not believe offers long term value at these levels.
• Liquidity and Leverage Risk: We are focused on high quality earning assets that are highly liquid, which
gives us the flexibility to reallocate capital. We will also dynamically manage leverage and liquidity to
opportunistically increase the size of our portfolio, which we expect to ultimately drive earnings.
12
Strategic Focus
• Maintain investments in higher credit quality, more liquid assets with some
portion providing extension and prepayment protection
• Capitalize on opportunities for investing capital from shifts in government
and regulatory policy
• Positioned to reallocate/invest capital as market volatility creates attractive
risk adjusted return opportunities
• Continue to seek ways to diversify funding sources as the regulatory
environment becomes more favorable
• Continue commitment to disciplined risk management and capital allocation
decisions that maximize flexibility given the current environment
13
Summary
• Year to date we have paid $0.36 in dividends per common share and reported core
net income of $0.34 per common share.
• We continue to believe the diversified investment strategy will generate superior risk
adjusted returns given the complementary cash flow and risk profiles of the
commercial and residential sectors.
• There is a unique opportunity to generate returns in 30-year fixed rate RMBS. We are
allocating capital out of ARMs and have doubled our position in the 30-year sector
since June 30, 2017. We expect to continue to opportunistically invest in this sector,
which will help drive earnings for the remainder of the year.
• The risk adjusted returns and the liquidity of 30-year fixed rate RMBS more than
compensates for the relatively higher duration drift versus less liquid ARMs. The
incremental liquidity also gives us the ability to shrink or grow the balance sheet
rapidly.
• Global macro environment is still complex and asset prices are high and the potential
for spread widening is elevated.
• We have an experienced management team, an internally managed structure that
creates shareholder alignment, and a long-term history of disciplined capital
allocation.

loan on a commercial property.
Credit Risk is the risk of loss of principal stemming from a borrower’s failure to repay a loan.
Curve Twist Terms:
Bull Flattener: If the yield curve is exhibiting bull flattener behavior, the spread between the long-term
rate and the short-term rate is getting smaller because long-term rates are decreasing as short-term
rates are increasing. This could occur as more investors choose long-term bonds relative to short-term
bonds, which drives long-term bond prices up and reduces yields.
Bear Flattener: A yield-rate environment in which short-term interest rates are increasing at a faster rate
than long-term interest rates. This causes the yield curve to flatten as short-term and long-term rates
start to converge.
Bear Steepener: Widening of the yield curve caused by long-term rates increasing at a faster rate than
short-term rates. This causes a larger spread between the two rates as the long-term rate moves
further away from the short-term rate.
Bull Steepener: A change in the yield curve caused by short-term rates falling faster than long-term rates,
resulting in a higher spread between the two rates.
Duration is a measure of the sensitivity of the price of a fixed-income investment to a change in interest rates.
Duration is expressed as a number of years.
Interest Only Securities (IOs) are the interest only strips of mortgage, Treasury, or bond payments, which are
