Arlington Asset Investment Company Description
Arlington Asset Investment (formerly Friedman, Billings, Ramsey or FBR) is a real estate investment trust (REIT) that invests in mortgages and related securities, equities, and other assets. But it is perhaps best known for its stake in FBR Capital Markets, which provides investment banking, institutional brokerage, and fee-based asset management services to corporations, institutions, and wealthy individuals. Arlington formed FBR Capital Markets in 2006, but has sold off its stake over time to own only 39% of the business. The company changed its name in 2009 to Arlington Asset Investment Corporation.
