Organization Consolidation And Presentation Of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Organization and Nature of Operations | Note 1. Organization and Nature of Operations Arlington Asset Investment Corp. (“Arlington Asset”) and its consolidated subsidiaries (unless the context otherwise provides, collectively, the “Company”) is an investment firm that acquires and holds residential mortgage-related assets, primarily comprised of residential mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”). The Company’s investments in residential MBS include (i) residential mortgage pass-through certificates for which the principal and interest payments are guaranteed by a government-sponsored enterprise (“GSE”) such as the Federal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae”) or the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“Freddie Mac”), which are collectively referred to as “agency MBS,” and (ii) residential MBS issued by private institutions for which the principal and interest payments are not guaranteed by a GSE, which are referred to as “private-label MBS” or “non-agency MBS.” |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation | Note 2. Basis of Presentation The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and include the accounts of Arlington Asset and all other entities in which the Company has a controlling financial interest. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements. Although the Company bases these estimates and assumptions on historical experience and all other reasonably available information that the Company believes to be relevant under the circumstances, such estimates frequently require management to exercise significant subjective judgment about matters that are inherently uncertain. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Certain amounts in the consolidated financial statements and notes for prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on the previously reported net income, other comprehensive income, total assets or total liabilities. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Note 3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Cash Equivalents Cash equivalents include demand deposits with banks, money market accounts and highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, approximately 98% and 99%, respectively, of the Company’s cash equivalents were invested in money market funds that invest primarily in U.S. Treasuries and other securities backed by the U.S. government. Investment Security Purchases and Sales Purchases and sales of investment securities are recorded on the settlement date of the transfer unless the trade qualifies as a “regular-way” trade and the associated commitment qualifies for an exemption from the accounting guidance applicable to derivative instruments. A regular-way trade is an investment security purchase or sale transaction that is expected to settle within the period of time following the trade date that is prevalent or traditional for that specific type of security. Any amounts payable or receivable for unsettled security trades are recorded as “sold securities receivable” or “purchased securities payable” in the consolidated balance sheets. Interest Income Recognition for Investments in Agency MBS The Company recognizes interest income for its investments in agency MBS by applying the “interest method” permitted by GAAP, whereby purchase premiums and discounts are amortized and accreted, respectively, as an adjustment to contractual interest income accrued at each security’s stated coupon rate. The interest method is applied at the individual security level based upon each security’s effective interest rate. The Company calculates each security’s effective interest rate at the time of purchase by solving for the discount rate that equates the present value of that security's remaining contractual cash flows (assuming no principal prepayments) to its purchase price. Because each security’s effective interest rate does not reflect an estimate of future prepayments, the Company refers to this manner of applying the interest method as the “contractual effective interest method.” When applying the contractual effective interest method to its investments in agency MBS, as principal prepayments occur, a proportional amount of the unamortized premium or discount is recognized in interest income such that the effective interest rate on the remaining security balance is unaffected. Interest Income Recognition for Investments in Private-Label MBS The Company’s investments in private-label MBS were generally acquired at significant discounts to their par values due in large part to an expectation that the Company will be unable to collect all of the contractual cash flows of the securities. Investments in private-label MBS acquired prior to 2015 were classified as available-for-sale, all of which had been sold as of December 31, 2016. The Company has elected to classify its investments in private-label MBS acquired in 2015 or later as trading securities. Interest income from investments in private-label MBS is recognized using a prospective level-yield methodology which is based upon each security’s effective interest rate. The amount of periodic interest income recognized is determined by applying the security’s effective interest rate to its amortized cost basis or reference amount. At the time of acquisition, the security’s effective interest rate is calculated by solving for the single discount rate that equates the present value of the Company’s best estimate of the amount and timing of the cash flows expected to be collected from the security to its purchase price. To prepare its best estimate of cash flows expected to be collected, the Company develops a number of assumptions about the future performance of the pool of mortgage loans that serve as collateral for its investment, including assumptions about the timing and amount of prepayments and credit losses. In each subsequent quarterly reporting period, the amount and timing of cash flows expected to be collected from the security are re-estimated based upon current information and events. The following table provides a description of how periodic changes in the estimate of cash flows expected to be collected affect interest income recognition prospectively for investments in private-label MBS that are classified as available-for-sale and trading securities, respectively: Effect on Interest Income Recognition for Investments in Private-Label MBS Classified as: Scenario: Available-for-Sale Trading A positive change in cash flows occurs. Actual cash flows exceed prior estimates and/or a positive change occurs in the estimate of expected remaining cash flows. If the positive change in cash flows is deemed significant, a revised effective interest rate is calculated and applied prospectively such that the positive change is recognized as incremental interest income over the remaining life of the security. This revised effective interest rate is also used in subsequent periods to determine if any declines in the fair value of that security are other-than-temporary. A revised effective interest rate is calculated and applied prospectively such that the positive change in cash flows is recognized as incremental interest income over the remaining life of the security. An adverse change in cash flows occurs. Actual cash flows fall short of prior estimates and/or an adverse change occurs in the estimate of expected remaining cash flows. The security’s effective interest rate is unaffected. If an adverse change in cash flows occurs for a security that is impaired (that is, its fair value is less than its amortized cost basis), the impairment is considered other-than-temporary due to the occurrence of a credit loss. If a credit loss occurs, the Company writes-down the amortized cost basis of the security to an amount equal to the present value of cash flows expected to be collected, discounted at the security’s existing effective interest rate, and recognizes a corresponding other-than-temporary impairment charge in earnings as a component of “investment gain (loss), net.” The amount of periodic interest income recognized over the remaining life of the security will be reduced accordingly. Specifically, if an adverse change in cash flows occurs for a security that is impaired (that is, its fair value is less than its reference amount), the reference amount to which the security’s existing effective interest rate will be prospectively applied will be reduced to the present value of cash flows expected to be collected, discounted at the security’s existing effective interest rate. If an adverse change in cash flows occurs for a security that is not impaired, the security’s effective interest rate will be reduced accordingly and applied on a prospective basis. Other Comprehensive Income Comprehensive income includes net income as currently reported by the Company on the consolidated statements of comprehensive income adjusted for other comprehensive income. Other comprehensive income for the Company represents periodic unrealized holding gains and losses related to the Company’s investments in MBS classified as available-for-sale. Accumulated unrealized holding gains and losses for available-for-sale MBS are reclassified into net income as a component of “investment gain (loss), net” upon (i) sale or realization, or (ii) the occurrence of an other-than-temporary impairment. As of December 31, 2016 all of the Company’s investments in MBS are classified as trading securities. Accordingly, all unrealized gains and losses related to the Company’s investments in MBS during 2017 have been recognized in net income. Earnings Per Share Basic earnings per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing net income or loss applicable to common stock by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the respective period. Diluted earnings per share includes the impact of dilutive securities such as unvested shares of restricted stock and performance share units. The following tables present the computations of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share for the periods indicated: Year Ended December 31, (Shares in thousands) 2017 2016 2015 Basic weighted-average common shares outstanding 25,649 23,051 23,002 Performance share units and unvested restricted stock 362 — — Diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding 26,011 23,051 23,002 Net income (loss) attributable to common stock $ 17,184 $ (41,347 ) $ (69,403 ) Basic earnings (loss) per common share $ 0.67 $ (1.79 ) $ (3.02 ) Diluted earnings (loss) per common share $ 0.66 $ (1.79 ) $ (3.02 ) The diluted loss per share for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 did not include the antidilutive effect of 150,996 and 86,372 shares, respectively, of unvested shares of restricted stock and performance share units. Other Significant Accounting Policies The Company’s other significant accounting policies are described in the following notes: Investments in agency MBS, subsequent measurement Note 4 Investments in private-label MBS, subsequent measurement Note 5 Borrowings Note 6 To-be-announced agency MBS transactions, including “dollar rolls” Note 7 Derivative instruments Note 7 Balance sheet offsetting Note 8 Fair value measurements Note 9 Income taxes Note 10 Stock-based compensation Note 13 Recent Accounting Pronouncements The following table provides a brief description of recently issued accounting pronouncements and their actual or expected effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements: Standard Description Date of Adoption Effect on the Consolidated Financial Statements Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance ASU No. 2016-07, Simplifying the Transition to the Equity Method of Accounting (Topic 323) This amendment eliminates the requirement that when an investment qualifies for use of the equity method as a result of an increase in the level of ownership interest or degree of influence, an investor must adjust the investment, results of operations, and retained earnings retroactively on a step-by-step basis as if the equity method had been in effect during all previous periods that the investment had been held. January 1, 2017 The adoption of ASU No. 2016-07 did not impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements. ASU No. 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting (Topic 718) This amendment was issued with the objective of simplifying several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. Some of the areas for simplification apply only to nonpublic entities. January 1, 2017 The adoption of ASU No. 2016-07 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Recently Issued Accounting Guidance Not Yet Adopted ASU No. 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date This amendment defers the effective date of ASU No. 2014-09 for all entities by one year. ASU No. 2014-09 requires entities to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Revenue recognition with respect to financial instruments is not within the scope of ASU No. 2014-09. January 1, 2018 The Company does not expect that the adoption of ASU No. 2015-14 will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. ASU No. 2016-01, Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (Subtopic 825-10) This amendment makes targeted changes to certain aspects of guidance applicable to financial assets and financial liabilities. The amendment primarily affects accounting for certain equity investments, financial liabilities measured under the fair value option, and certain financial instrument presentation and disclosure requirements. Accounting for investments in debt securities and financial liabilities not measured under the fair value option is largely unaffected by this amendment. January 1, 2018 ASU No. 2016-01 requires entities to measure investments in equity securities at fair value, unless fair value measurement is impractical, with changes in fair value recognized in current period earnings. Upon the adoption of ASU No. 2016-01, the Company will recognize the difference between the fair value of its investments in equity securities currently carried at their historical cost (net of impairments) and the securities’ fair value as a cumulative-effect adjustment to the balance sheet as of January 1, 2018. As of December 31, 2017, the Company’s investments in equity securities measured at cost have a balance sheet carrying value of $1,236 and an estimated fair value of $5,362. Based on these amounts, the adoption of this amendment would result in an estimated cumulative-effect increase of $4,126 in stockholders’ equity. Subsequent to January 1, 2018, all changes in the estimated fair value of such instruments will be recognized in net income. ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) This amendment replaces the existing lease accounting model with a revised model. The primary change effectuated by the revised lease accounting model is the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases. January 1, 2019 The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this amendment on its consolidated financial statements. ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 606) The amendments in this update require financial assets measured at amortized cost as well as available-for-sale debt securities to be measured for impairment on the basis of the net amount expected to be collected. Credit losses are to be recognized through an allowance for credit losses, which differs from the direct write-down of the amortized cost basis currently required for other-than-temporary impairments of investments in debt securities. This update also makes substantial changes to the manner in which interest income is to be recognized for financial assets acquired with a more-than-insignificant amount of credit deterioration since origination. This update will not affect the accounting for investments in debt securities that are classified as trading securities. January 1, 2019 As of December 31, 2017, all of the Company’s investments in debt securities are classified as trading securities. Accordingly, the Company does not expect ASU No. 2016-13 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. ASU No. 2016-15, Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (Topic 230) This amendment was issued to reduce diversity in practice with respect to eight various statement of cash flow reporting issues for which existing GAAP is either unclear or does not provide specific guidance. January 1, 2018 The Company does not expect that the adoption of ASU No. 2016-15 will have a material impact on the classification of cash inflows or outflows within its consolidated statement of cash flows. ASU No. 2017-08, Premium Amortization of Purchased Callable Debt Securities (Subtopic 310-20) This amendment requires purchase premiums for investments in debt securities that are noncontingently callable by the issuer (at a fixed price and preset date) to be amortized to the earliest call date. Previously, purchase premiums for such investments were permitted to be amortized to the instrument’s maturity date. January 1, 2020 Investments in prepayable financial assets, such as residential MBS, for which the embedded call options are not held by the issuer are not within the scope of ASU No. 2017-08. Accordingly, the Company does not expect the adoption of ASU No. 2017-08 to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements. ASU No. 2017-12, Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities (Topic 815) This update made several targeted amendments to existing GAAP with the objectives of facilitating (i) financial reporting that more closely reflects entities’ risk management strategies and (ii) greater ease of understanding and interpreting the effects of hedge accounting an entities’ reported results. January 1, 2019 Hedge accounting pursuant to GAAP is an elective, rather than a required, accounting model. The Company does not currently elect to apply hedge accounting and, at this time, does not plan to elect to apply hedge accounting in the future. Accordingly, at this time, the Company does not expect ASU No. 2017-12 will have an effect on its consolidated financial statements. |

Investments in MBS | Note 4. Investments in Agency MBS The Company’s investments in agency MBS are reported in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets at fair value. As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company had $4,054,424 and $3,911,375, respectively, of fair value in agency MBS classified as trading securities. As of December 31, 2017, all of the Company’s investments in agency MBS represent undivided (or “pass-through”) beneficial interests in specified pools of fixed-rate mortgage loans. As of December 31, 2016, the Company’s portfolio of investments in agency MBS also includes investments in inverse interest-only agency MBS with an aggregate fair value of $1,923. The Company’s investments in inverse interest-only agency MBS represent beneficial interests in a portion of the interest cash flows of an underlying pool of pass-through agency MBS collateralized by adjustable-rate mortgage loans. All periodic changes in the fair value of trading agency MBS that are not attributed to interest income are recognized as a component of “investment gain (loss), net” in the accompanying consolidated statements of comprehensive income. The following table provides additional information about the gains and losses recognized as a component of “investment gain (loss), net” in the Company’s consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the periods indicated with respect to investments in agency MBS classified as trading securities: Year Ended December 31, 2017 2016 2015 Net gains (losses) recognized in earnings for: Agency MBS still held at period end $ (1,621 ) $ (62,363 ) $ (26,543 ) Agency MBS sold during the period 3,987 21,714 (4,465 ) Total $ 2,366 $ (40,649 ) $ (31,008 ) The Company also invests in and finances fixed-rate agency MBS on a generic pool basis through sequential series of to-be-announced security transactions commonly referred to as “dollar rolls.” Dollar rolls are accounted for as a sequential series of derivative instruments. Refer to “Note 7. Derivative Instruments” for further information about dollar rolls. |

Private-Label MBS | |
Investments in MBS | Note 5. Investments in Private-Label MBS The Company’s investments in private-label MBS are reported in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets at fair value. Investments in private-label MBS acquired prior to 2015 were classified as available-for-sale, all of which had been sold as of December 31, 2016. The Company has elected to classify its investments in private-label MBS acquired in 2015 or later as trading securities. As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company held investments in private-label MBS with a fair value of $76 and $1,266, respectively, all of which were classified as trading securities. Available-for-Sale Private-Label MBS Periodic changes in the fair value of the Company’s available-for-sale private-label MBS that are not attributed to interest income or other-than-temporary impairments represent unrealized holding gains and losses. Unrealized holding gains and losses are accumulated in other comprehensive income until the securities are sold. As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company had no available-for-sale private-label MBS. Upon the sale of available-for-sale private-label MBS, any gains or losses accumulated in other comprehensive income are recognized in earnings as a component of “investment gain (loss), net.” The Company uses the specific identification method to determine the realized gain or loss that is recognized in earnings upon the sale of an available-for-sale private-label MBS. The following table presents the results of sales of available-for-sale private-label MBS for the periods indicated: Year Ended December 31, 2017 2016 2015 Proceeds from sales $ — $ 113,983 $ 130,138 Gross realized gains — 5,819 18,145 Gross realized losses — 1,042 420 Accretable Yield The excess of the Company’s estimate of undiscounted future cash flows expected to be collected over the security’s amortized cost basis represents that security’s accretable yield. The accretable yield is expected to be recognized as interest income over the remaining life of the security on a level-yield basis. The difference between undiscounted future contractual cash flows and undiscounted future expected cash flows represents the non-accretable difference. Based on actual payments received and/or changes in the estimate of future cash flows expected to be collected, the accretable yield and the non-accretable difference can change over time. Actual cash collections that exceed prior estimates and/or positive changes in the Company’s periodic estimate of expected future cash flows result in a reclassification of non-accretable difference to accretable yield. Conversely, actual cash collections that fall short of prior estimates and/or adverse changes in the Company’s periodic estimate of expected future cash flows result in a reclassification of accretable yield to non-accretable difference. The following table presents the changes in the accretable yield solely for available-for-sale private-label MBS for the periods indicated: Year Ended December 31, 2017 2016 Beginning balance $ — $ 85,052 Accretion — (6,744 ) Reclassifications, net — (11,853 ) Eliminations in consolidation — (3,515 ) Sales — (62,940 ) Ending balance $ — $ — Other-than-Temporary Impairments The Company evaluates available-for-sale MBS for other-than-temporary impairment on a quarterly basis. When the fair value of an available-for-sale security is less than its amortized cost at the quarterly reporting date, the security is considered impaired. Impairments determined to be other-than-temporary are recognized as a direct write-down to the security’s amortized cost basis with a corresponding charge recognized in earnings as a component of “investment gain (loss), net.” An impairment is considered other-than-temporary when (i) the Company intends to sell the impaired security, (ii) the Company more-likely-than not will be required to sell the impaired security prior to the recovery of its amortized cost basis, or (iii) a credit loss exists. A credit loss exists when the present value of the Company’s estimate of the cash flows expected to be collected from the security, discounted at the security’s existing effective interest rate, is less than the security’s amortized cost basis. If the Company intends to sell an impaired security or it more-likely-than-not will be required to sell an impaired security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, the Company writes-down the amortized cost basis of the security to an amount equal to the security’s fair value and recognizes a corresponding other-than-temporary impairment charge in earnings as a component of “investment gain (loss), net.” If a credit loss exists for an impaired security that the Company does not intend to sell nor will it likely be required to sell prior to recovery, the Company writes-down the amortized cost basis of the security to an amount equal to the present value of cash flows expected to be collected, discounted at the security’s existing effective interest rate, and recognizes a corresponding other-than-temporary impairment charge in earnings as a component of “investment gain (loss), net.” For the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016, and 2015, the Company recorded credit related other-than-temporary impairment charges of $-0- and $1,737, and $2,417, respectively, as a component of “investment gain (loss), net” on the consolidated statements of comprehensive income on certain available-for-sale private-label MBS. The following table presents a summary of cumulative credit related other-than-temporary impairment charges recognized on the available-for-sale private-label MBS held as of the dates indicated: Year Ended December 31, 2017 2016 Cumulative credit related other-than-temporary impairments, beginning balance $ — $ 14,017 Additions for: Securities for which other-than-temporary impairments have not previously occurred — 1,737 Securities with previously recognized other-than-temporary impairments — — Reductions for sold or matured securities — (15,754 ) Cumulative credit related other-than-temporary impairments, ending balance $ — $ — Trading Private-Label MBS Periodic changes in the fair value of investments in trading private-label MBS that are not attributable to interest income are recognized as a component of “investment gain (loss), net” in the Company’s consolidated statements of comprehensive income. The following table provides additional information about the gains and losses recognized as a component of “investment gain (loss), net” for the periods indicated with respect to investments in private-label MBS classified as trading securities: Year Ended December 31, 2017 2016 2015 Net gains (losses) recognized in earnings for: Private-label MBS still held at period end $ 58 $ (379 ) $ (50 ) Private-label MBS sold during the period — (221 ) — Total $ 58 $ (600 ) $ (50 ) |
Borrowings

Debt Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Borrowings | Note 6. Borrowings Repurchase Agreements The Company finances the purchase of MBS through repurchase agreements, which are accounted for as collateralized borrowing arrangements. In a repurchase transaction, the Company sells MBS to a counterparty under a master repurchase agreement in exchange for cash and concurrently agrees to repurchase the same security at a future date in an amount equal to the cash initially exchanged plus an agreed-upon amount of interest. MBS sold under agreements to repurchase remain on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets because the Company maintains effective control over such securities throughout the duration of the arrangement. Throughout the contractual term of a repurchase agreement, the Company recognizes a “repurchase agreement” liability on its consolidated balance sheets to reflect the obligation to repay to the counterparty the proceeds received upon the initial transfer of the MBS. The difference between the proceeds received by the Company upon the initial transfer of the MBS and the contractually agreed-upon repurchase price is recognized as interest expense over the term of the repurchase arrangement on a level-yield basis. Amounts borrowed pursuant to repurchase agreements are equal in value to a specified percentage of the fair value of the pledged collateral. The Company retains beneficial ownership of the pledged collateral throughout the term of the repurchase agreement. The counterparty to the repurchase agreements may require that the Company pledge additional securities or cash as additional collateral to secure borrowings when the value of the collateral declines. As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company had no amount at risk with a single repurchase agreement counterparty or lender greater than 10% of equity. The following table provides information regarding the Company’s outstanding repurchase agreement borrowings as of the dates indicated: December 31, 2017 December 31, 2016 Pledged with agency MBS: Repurchase agreements outstanding $ 3,667,181 $ 3,649,102 Agency MBS collateral, at fair value 3,858,815 3,851,269 Net amount (1) 191,634 202,167 Weighted-average rate 1.56 % 0.96 % Weighted-average term to maturity 12.6 days 19.3 days (1) Net amount represents the value of collateral in excess of corresponding repurchase obligation. The amount of collateral at-risk is limited to the outstanding repurchase obligation and not the entire collateral balance. The following table provides information regarding the Company’s outstanding repurchase agreement borrowings during the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016: December 31, 2017 December 31, 2016 Weighted-average outstanding balance $ 3,950,139 $ 3,391,465 Weighted-average rate 1.16 % 0.70 % Long-Term Unsecured Debt As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company had $73,880 and $73,656, respectively, of outstanding long-term unsecured debentures, net of unamortized debt issuance costs of $1,420 and $1,644, respectively.

Derivative Instruments And Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Derivative Instruments | Note 7. Derivative Instruments In the normal course of its operations, the Company is a party to financial instruments that are accounted for as derivative instruments. Derivative instruments are recorded at fair value as either “derivative assets” or “derivative liabilities” in the consolidated balance sheets, with all periodic changes in fair value reflected as a component of “investment gain (loss), net” in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Cash receipts or payments related to derivative instruments are classified as investing activities within the consolidated statements of cash flows. Types and Uses of Derivative Instruments Interest Rate Derivatives Most of the Company’s derivative instruments are interest rate derivatives that are intended to economically hedge changes, attributable to changes in benchmark interest rates, in certain MBS fair values and future interest cash flows on the Company’s short-term financing arrangements. Interest rate derivatives include centrally cleared interest rate swaps, exchange-traded instruments, such as Eurodollar futures, interest rate swap futures, U.S. Treasury note futures and options on futures, and nonexchange-traded instruments such as options on agency MBS. While the Company uses its interest rate derivatives to economically hedge a portion of its interest rate risk, it has not designated such contracts as hedging instruments for financial reporting purposes . The Company exchanges cash “variation margin” with the counterparties to its interest rate derivative instruments at least on a daily basis based upon daily changes in fair value as measured by the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (“CME”), the central clearinghouse through which those derivatives are cleared. In addition, the CME requires market participants to deposit and maintain an “initial margin” amount which is determined by the CME and is generally intended to be set at a level sufficient to protect the CME from the maximum estimated single-day price movement in that market participant’s contracts . Receivables recognized for the right to reclaim cash initial margin posted in respect of interest rate derivative instruments are included in the line item “deposits, net” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Prior to January 1, 2017, the daily exchange of variation margin associated with centrally cleared derivative instruments was considered a pledge of collateral. For these prior periods, receivables recognized for the right to reclaim cash variation margin posted in respect of interest rate derivative instruments are included in the line item “deposits, net” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The Company elected to offset any payables recognized for the obligation to return cash variation margin received from an interest rate derivative instrument counterparty against receivables recognized for the right to reclaim cash initial margin posted by the Company to that same counterparty . Beginning on January 1, 2017, as a result of a CME amendment to their rule book which governs their central clearing activities, the daily exchange of variation margin associated with a centrally cleared derivative instrument is legally characterized as the daily settlement of the derivative instrument itself, as opposed to a pledge of collateral. Accordingly, beginning in 2017, the Company accounts for the daily receipt or payment of variation margin associated with its centrally cleared interest rate swaps as a direct reduction to the carrying value of the interest rate swap derivative asset or liability, respectively. Beginning in 2017, the carrying amount of centrally cleared interest rate swaps reflected in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets is equal to the unsettled fair value of such instruments; because variation margin is exchanged on a one-day lag, the unsettled fair value of such instruments represents the change in fair value that occurred on the last day of the reporting period . To-Be-Announced Agency MBS Transactions, Including “Dollar Rolls” In addition to interest rate derivatives that are used for interest rate risk management, the Company is a party to derivative instruments that economically serve as investments, such as forward contracts to purchase fixed-rate “pass-through” agency MBS on a non-specified pool basis, which are known as to-be-announced (“TBA”) contracts. A TBA contract is a forward contract for the purchase or sale of a fixed-rate agency MBS at a predetermined price, face amount, issuer, coupon, and stated maturity for settlement on an agreed upon future date. The specific agency MBS that will be delivered to satisfy the TBA trade is not known at the inception of the trade. The Company accounts for TBA contracts as derivative instruments because the Company cannot assert that it is probable at inception and throughout the term of an individual TBA contract that its settlement will result in physical delivery of the underlying agency MBS, or the individual TBA contract will not settle in the shortest time period possible. The Company’s agency MBS investment portfolio includes net purchase (or “net long”) positions in TBA securities, which are primarily the result of executing sequential series of “dollar roll” transactions. The Company executes dollar roll transactions as a means of investing in and financing non-specified fixed-rate agency MBS. Such transactions involve effectively delaying (or “rolling”) the settlement of a forward purchase of a TBA agency MBS by entering into an offsetting sale prior to the settlement date, net settling the “paired-off” positions in cash, and contemporaneously entering another forward purchase of a TBA agency MBS of the same characteristics for a later settlement date. TBA securities purchased for a forward settlement month are generally priced at a discount relative to TBA securities sold for settlement in the current month. This discount, often referred to as the dollar roll “price drop,” reflects compensation for the net interest income (interest income less financing costs) that is foregone as a result of relinquishing beneficial ownership of the MBS for the duration of the dollar roll (also known as “dollar roll income”). By executing a sequential series of dollar roll transactions, the Company is able to create the economic experience of investing in an agency MBS, financed with a repurchase agreement, over a period of time. Forward purchases and sales of TBA securities are accounted for as derivative instruments in the Company’s financial statements. Accordingly, dollar roll income is recognized as a component of “investment gain (loss), net” along with all other periodic changes in the fair value of TBA commitments. In addition to transacting in net long positions in TBA securities for investment purposes, the Company may also, from time to time, transact in net sale (or “net short”) positions in TBA securities for the purpose of economically hedging a portion of the sensitivity of the fair value of the Company’s investments in agency MBS to changes in interest rates. Receivables recognized for the right to reclaim cash collateral posted by the Company in respect of TBA transactions is included in the line item “deposits, net” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Liabilities recognized for the obligation to return cash collateral received by the Company in respect of TBA transactions is included in the line item “other liabilities” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets . In addition to TBA transactions, the Company may, from time to time, enter into commitments to purchase or sell specified agency MBS that do not qualify as regular-way security trades. Such commitments are also accounted for as derivative instruments.

Upon the maturity date of these futures contracts, the Company has the option to either net settle each contract in cash in an amount equal to the difference between the then-current fair value of the underlying 5-year or 10-year U.S. Treasury note and the contractual sale price inherent to the futures contract, or to physically settle the contract by delivering the underlying 5-year or 10-year U.S. Treasury note. The Company held no U.S. Treasury note futures as of December 31, 2016. Options on 10-year U.S. Treasury Note Futures The Company purchases and sells exchange-traded options on 10-year U.S. Treasury note futures contracts with the objective of economically hedging a portion of the sensitivity of its investments in agency MBS to significant changes in interest rates. The Company may purchase put options which provide the Company with the right to sell 10-year U.S. Treasury note futures to a counterparty, and the Company may also write call options that provide a counterparty with the option to buy 10-year U.S. Treasury note futures from the Company. In order to limit its exposure on its interest rate derivative instruments from a significant decline in long-term interest rates, the Company may also purchase contracts that provide the Company with the option to buy, or call, 10-year U.S. Treasury note futures from a counterparty. The options may be exercised at any time prior to their expiry, and if exercised, may be net settled in cash or through physical receipt or delivery of the underlying futures contracts . As of December 31, 2017, the Company had no outstanding options on 10-year U.S. Treasury note futures contracts. Information about the Company’s outstanding options on 10-year U.S. Treasury note futures contracts as of December 31, 2016 is as follows: Notional Amount Long/(Short) Weighted-average Strike Price Implied Strike Rate (1) Net Fair Value Purchased put options: January 2017 expiration $ 950,000 120.8 2.87% $ 539 February 2017 expiration 700,000 122.6 2.64% 3,281 Total / weighted average for purchased put options $ 1,650,000 121.6 2.77% $ 3,820 Sold call options: January 2017 expiration $ (100,000 ) 126.0 2.25% $ (141 ) February 2017 expiration (900,000 ) 126.0 2.24% (3,765 ) Total / weighted average for sold call options $ (1,000,000 ) 126.0 2.24% $ (3,906 ) Purchased call options: January 2017 expiration $ 1,000,000 127.1 2.12% $ 469 $ 383 (1) The implied strike rate is estimated based upon the weighted average strike price per contract and the price of an equivalent 10-year U.S. Treasury note futures contract.

Offsetting [Abstract] | |
Offsetting of Financial Assets and Liabilities | Note 8. Offsetting of Financial Assets and Liabilities The agreements that govern certain of the Company’s derivative instruments and collateralized short-term financing arrangements provide for a right of setoff in the event of default or bankruptcy with respect to either party to such transactions. The Company presents derivative assets and liabilities as well as collateralized short-term financing arrangements on a gross basis . Receivables recognized for the right to reclaim cash initial margin posted in respect of interest rate derivative instruments are included in the line item “deposits, net” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Prior to January 1, 2017, the daily exchange of variation margin associated with centrally cleared derivative instruments was considered a pledge of collateral. For these prior periods, receivables recognized for the right to reclaim cash variation margin posted in respect of interest rate derivative instruments are included in the line item “deposits, net” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The Company elected to offset any payables recognized for the obligation to return cash variation margin received from an interest rate derivative instrument counterparty against receivables recognized for the right to reclaim cash initial margin posted by the Company to that same counterparty . Beginning on January 1, 2017, as a result of a CME amendment to their rule book which governs their central clearing activities, the daily exchange of variation margin associated with a centrally cleared derivative instrument is legally characterized as the daily settlement of the derivative instrument itself, as opposed to a pledge of collateral. Accordingly, beginning in 2017, the Company accounts for the daily receipt or payment of variation margin associated with its centrally cleared interest rate swaps as a direct reduction to the carrying value of the interest rate swap derivative asset or liability, respectively. Beginning in 2017, the carrying amount of centrally cleared interest rate swaps reflected in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets is equal to the unsettled fair value of such instruments; because variation margin is exchanged on a one-day lag, the unsettled fair value of such instruments represents the change in fair value that occurred on the last day of the reporting period . The following tables present information, as of the dates indicated, about the Company’s derivative instruments, short-term borrowing arrangements, and associated collateral, including those subject to master netting (or similar) arrangements: As of December 31, 2017 Gross Amount Recognized Amount Offset in the Consolidated Balance Sheets Net Amount Presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheets Gross Amount Not Offset in the Consolidated Balance Sheets Net Amount Financial Instruments (1) Cash Collateral (2) Assets: Derivative instruments: TBA commitments $ 763 $ — $ 763 $ — $ — $ 763 Total derivative instruments 763 — 763 — — 763 Total assets $ 763 $ — $ 763 $ — $ — $ 763 Liabilities: Derivative instruments: Interest rate swaps $ 3,338 $ — $ 3,338 $ — $ (3,338 ) $ — U.S. Treasury note futures 1,341 — 1,341 — (1,341 ) — TBA commitments 154 — 154 — (154 ) — Total derivative instruments 4,833 — 4,833 — (4,833 ) — Repurchase agreements 3,667,181 — 3,667,181 (3,667,181 ) — — Total liabilities $ 3,672,014 $ — $ 3,672,014 $ (3,667,181 ) $ (4,833 ) $ — As of December 31, 2016 Gross Amount Recognized Amount Offset in the Consolidated Balance Sheets Net Amount Presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheets Gross Amount Not Offset in the Consolidated Balance Sheets Net Amount Financial Instruments (1) Cash Collateral (2) Assets: Derivative instruments: Options on U.S. Treasury note futures $ 4,289 $ — $ 4,289 $ (3,906 ) $ — $ 383 Interest rate swaps 63,315 — 63,315 (1,949 ) (61,366 ) — TBA commitments 7,285 — 7,285 — — 7,285 Total derivative instruments 74,889 — 74,889 (5,855 ) (61,366 ) 7,668 Deposits, net 72,516 (61,367 ) 11,149 — — 11,149 Total assets $ 147,405 $ (61,367 ) $ 86,038 $ (5,855 ) $ (61,366 ) $ 18,817 Liabilities: Derivative instruments: Options on U.S. Treasury note futures $ 3,906 $ — $ 3,906 $ (3,906 ) $ — $ — Interest rate swaps 1,949 — 1,949 (1,949 ) — — TBA commitments 3,699 — 3,699 — (1,474 ) 2,225 Total derivative instruments 9,554 — 9,554 (5,855 ) (1,474 ) 2,225 Deposits, net 61,367 (61,367 ) — — — — Repurchase agreements 3,649,102 — 3,649,102 (3,649,102 ) — — Total liabilities $ 3,720,023 $ (61,367 ) $ 3,658,656 $ (3,654,957 ) $ (1,474 ) $ 2,225 (1) Does not include the fair value amount of financial instrument collateral pledged in respect of repurchase agreements that exceeds the associated liability presented in the consolidated balance sheets.

Fair Value Measurements | Note 9. Fair Value Measurements Fair Value of Financial Instruments The accounting principles related to fair value measurements define fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Level 1 Inputs - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that are accessible by the Company at the measurement date Level 2 Inputs - Quoted prices in markets that are not active or financial instruments for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly; and Level 3 Inputs - Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, including significant judgments made by the Company about the assumptions that a market participant would use The Company measures the fair value of the following assets and liabilities: Mortgage-backed securities Agency MBS - The Company’s investments in agency MBS are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Inputs to fair value measurements of the Company’s investments in agency MBS include price estimates obtained from third-party pricing services. In determining fair value, third-party pricing services use a market approach. The inputs used in the fair value measurements performed by the third-party pricing services are based upon readily observable transactions for securities with similar characteristics (such as issuer/guarantor, coupon rate, stated maturity, and collateral pool characteristics) occurring on the measurement date. The Company makes inquiries of the third-party pricing sources to understand the significant inputs and assumptions used to determine prices. The Company reviews the various third-party fair value estimates and performs procedures to validate their reasonableness, including comparison to recent trading activity for similar securities and an overall review for consistency with market conditions observed as of the measurement date. Private-label MBS - The Company’s investments in private-label MBS are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy as private-label MBS trade infrequently and, therefore, the measurement of their fair value requires the use of significant unobservable inputs. In determining fair value, the Company primarily uses an income approach as well as market approaches. The Company utilizes present value techniques based on the estimated future cash flows of the instrument taking into consideration various assumptions derived by management based on their observations of assumptions used by market participants. These assumptions are corroborated by evidence such as historical collateral performance data, evaluation of historical collateral performance data for other securities with comparable or similar risk characteristics, and observed completed or pending transactions in similar instruments, when available. The significant inputs to the Company’s valuation process include collateral default, loss severity, prepayment, and discount rates (i.e., the rate of return demanded by market participants as of the measurement date). In general, significant increases (decreases) in default, loss severity, or discount rate assumptions, in isolation, would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement. However, significant increases (decreases) in prepayment rate assumptions, in isolation, may result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement depending upon the instrument’s specific characteristics and the overall payment structure of the issuing securitization vehicle. It is difficult to generalize the interrelationships between these significant inputs as the actual results could differ considerably on an individual security basis. Therefore, each significant input is closely analyzed to ascertain its reasonableness for the Company’s purposes of fair value measurement. Measuring fair value is inherently subjective given the volatile and sometimes illiquid markets for these private-label MBS and requires management to make a number of judgments about the assumptions that a market participant would use, including assumptions about the timing and amount of future cash flows as well as the rate of return required by market participants. The assumptions the Company applies are specific to each security. Although the Company relies on its internal calculations to estimate the fair value of these private-label MBS, the Company considers indications of value from actual sales of similar private-label MBS to assist in the valuation process and to calibrate the Company’s models. Derivative instruments Exchange-traded derivative instruments - Exchange-traded derivative instruments, which include Eurodollar futures, U.S. Treasury note futures, interest rate swap futures, and options on futures, are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy as they are measured using quoted prices for identical instruments in liquid markets. Interest rate swaps - Interest rate swaps are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The fair values of the Company’s centrally cleared interest rate swaps are measured using the daily valuations reported by the clearinghouse through which the instrument was cleared. In performing its end-of-day valuations, the clearinghouse constructs forward interest rate curves (for example, three-month LIBOR forward rates) from its specific observations of that day’s trading activity. The clearinghouse uses the applicable forward interest rate curve to develop a market-based forecast of future remaining contractually required cash flows for each interest rate swap. Each market-based cash flow forecast is then discounted using the overnight index swap rate curve (sourced from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York) to determine a net present value amount which represents the instrument’s fair value. The Company reviews the valuations reported by the clearinghouse on an ongoing basis and performs procedures using readily available market data to independently verify their reasonableness . Forward-settling purchases and sales of TBA securities - Forward-settling purchases and sales of TBA securities are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of each forward-settling TBA contract is measured using price estimates obtained from a third-party pricing service, which are based upon readily observable transaction prices occurring on the measurement date for forward-settling contracts to buy or sell TBA securities with the same guarantor, contractual maturity, and coupon rate for delivery on the same forward settlement date as the contract under measurement. Other Long-term unsecured debt - As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, the carrying value of the Company’s long-term unsecured debt was $73,880 and $73,656, respectively, net of unamortized debt issuance costs, and consists of Senior Notes and trust preferred debt issued by the Company. The Company’s estimate of the fair value of long-term unsecured debt is $70,314 and $66,489 as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The Company’s Senior Notes, which are publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange, are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Trust preferred debt is classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy as the fair value is estimated based on the quoted prices of the Company’s publicly traded Senior Notes. Investments in equity securities of non-public companies and investment funds - As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company had investments in equity securities and investment funds with a carrying amount of $1,675 and $1,918, respectively, which are included in the line item “other assets” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, $439 and $533, respectively, of these investments represent securities for which the Company elected the “fair value option” at the time that the securities were initially recognized on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets; the Company measures the fair value of these securities on a recurring basis, recognizing the periodic change in fair value in earnings. The remaining $1,236 and $1,385 in investments in equity securities of non-public companies and investment funds as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, were measured at cost, net of impairments. The Company’s estimate of the fair value of investments in equity securities and investment funds is $5,801 and $6,034 as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Investments in equity securities and investment funds are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The fair values of the Company’s investments in equity securities and investment funds are not readily determinable. Accordingly, for its investments in equity securities, the Company estimates fair value by estimating the enterprise value of the investee and then waterfalls the enterprise value over the investee’s securities in the order of their preference relative to one another. To estimate the enterprise value of the investee, the Company uses traditional valuation methodologies, including the consideration of recent investments in, or tender offers for, the equity securities of the investee. For its investments in investment funds, the Company estimates fair value based upon the investee’s net asset value per share. Financial assets and liabilities for which carrying value approximates fair value - Cash and cash equivalents, deposits, receivables, repurchase agreements, payables, and other assets and liabilities are reflected in the consolidated balance sheets at their cost, which, due to the short-term nature of these instruments and their limited inherent credit risk, approximates fair value. Fair Value Hierarchy Financial Instruments Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis The following tables set forth financial instruments measured at fair value by level within the fair value hierarchy as of December 31, 2017 and 2016. Assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Income Taxes | Note 10. Income Taxes Arlington Asset is subject to taxation as a corporation under Subchapter C of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). As of December 31, 2017, the Company had estimated net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards of $60,681 that can be used to offset future taxable ordinary income. The Company’s NOL carryforwards begin to expire in 2027. As of December 31, 2017, the Company had estimated net capital loss (“NCL”) carryforwards of $314,277 that can be used to offset future net capital gains. The scheduled expirations of the Company’s NCL carryforwards are $136,840 in 2019, $102,927 in 2020, $70,319 in 2021 and $4,191 in 2022. Income taxes are provided for using the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities reflect the impact of temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities pursuant to the application of GAAP and their respective tax bases and are stated at tax rates expected to be in effect when the taxes are actually paid or recovered. Deferred tax assets are also recorded for NOL carryforwards, NCL carryforwards and any tax credit carryforwards. On December 22, 2017, the President signed the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which provides for substantial changes to the federal taxation of individuals and corporations with an effective date of January 1, 2018. For corporate taxpayers, the federal income tax rate was lowered from 35.0% to 21.0%. The effects of changes in tax laws and rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities are required to be recognized in the period in which the legislation is enacted as a discrete item within the income tax provision. As a result of the decrease in the federal tax rate, the Company recorded an additional income tax provision of $409 during the year ended December 31, 2017. Through December 31, 2017, the Company was subject to federal alternative minimum tax (“AMT”) on its taxable income and gains that are not offset by its NOL and NCL carryforwards with any AMT credit carryforwards available to offset future regular tax liabilities. As part of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, the corporate AMT is repealed for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017 with any AMT credit carryforward after that date continuing to be available to offset a taxpayer’s future regular tax liability. In addition, for tax years beginning in 2018, 2019 and 2020, to the extent that AMT credit carryforwards exceed the regular tax liability, 50% of the excess AMT credit carryforwards would be refundable in that year with any remaining AMT credit carryforwards fully refundable in 2021. As a result, the realizability of the Company’s AMT credit carryforward is now certain and will be now be realized as either a cash refund or as an offset to future regular tax liabilities or a combination of both. Accordingly, the Company reclassified its AMT credit carryforward from net deferred tax assets to a receivable. As of December 31, 2017, the Company had AMT credit carryforwards of $9,133 included in other assets on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. A valuation allowance is provided against the deferred tax asset if, based upon the Company’s evaluation, it is more-likely-than-not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. All available evidence, both positive and negative, is incorporated into the determination of whether a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets is appropriate. Items considered in the valuation allowance determination include expectations of future earnings of the appropriate tax character, recent historical financial results, tax planning strategies, the length of statutory carryforward periods and the expected timing of the reversal of temporary differences. As of December 31, 2017, the Company determined that it should record a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets that are capital in nature, which consists of its NCL carryforwards and temporary GAAP to tax differences that are expected to result in capital losses in future periods. As of December 31, 2017, the Company determined that it should not record any valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets that are ordinary in nature, which consists of its NOL carryforwards and temporary GAAP to tax differences that are expected to result in deductions from ordinary income in future periods. For the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company recorded an increase to its valuation allowance of $16,761. As of December 31, 2016, the Company determined that it should record a partial valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets that are capital in nature, which consisted of its NCL carryforwards and temporary GAAP to tax differences that are expected to result in capital losses in future periods. As of December 31, 2016, the Company determined that it should not record any valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets that are ordinary in nature, which consists of its NOL and tax credit carryforwards, and temporary GAAP to tax differences that are expected to result in deductions from ordinary income in future periods. For the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company recorded an increase to its valuation allowance of $35,637. Deferred tax assets and liabilities consisted of the following as of dates indicated: December 31, 2017 December 31, 2016 Ordinary deferred tax assets: NOL carryforward $ 15,619 $ 37,238 AMT credit carryforward — 8,427 Deferred net loss on designated derivatives 4,381 1,386 Stock-based compensation 1,999 2,426 Other, net 19 208 Total ordinary deferred tax assets 22,018 49,685 Ordinary deferred tax liabilities: Net unrealized gain on designated derivatives (21,218 ) (25,145 ) Ordinary deferred tax assets, net 800 24,540 Capital deferred tax assets: NCL carryforward 80,895 120,939 Net unrealized loss on investments 23,431 44,253 Valuation allowance (104,326 ) (140,903 ) Total capital deferred tax assets, net — 24,289 Total deferred tax assets, net $ 800 $ 48,829 The provision for income taxes from operations consists of the following for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015: 2017 2016 2015 Federal $ 33,495 $ 23,163 $ 32,613 State 6,108 4,224 5,948 Total income tax provision $ 39,603 $ 27,387 $ 38,561 Current $ 706 $ 232 $ 970 Deferred 38,897 27,155 37,591 Total income tax provision $ 39,603 $ 27,387 $ 38,561 The provision for income taxes results in effective tax rates that differ from the federal statutory rates. The reconciliation of the Company and its subsidiaries’ income tax attributable to net income computed at federal statutory rates to the provision for income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016, and 2015 were as follows: 2017 2016 2015 Federal income tax at statutory rate $ 19,963 $ (4,886 ) $ (10,795 ) State income taxes, net of federal benefit 2,224 (544 ) (1,203 ) Change in enacted tax rate 409 — — Losses on available-for sale MBS acquired prior to 2012 — (2,838 ) (3,987 ) Tax character adjustments — — (1,934 ) Other, net 246 18 45 Valuation allowance 16,761 35,637 56,435 Total income tax provision $ 39,603 $ 27,387 $ 38,561 The Company recognizes uncertain tax positions in the financial statements only when it is more-likely-than-not that the position will be sustained upon examination by the relevant taxing authority based on the technical merits of the position. A position that meets this standard is measured at the largest amount of benefit that will more-likely-than-not be realized upon settlement. A liability is established for differences between positions taken in a tax return and the financial statements. As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company assessed the need for recording a provision for any uncertain tax position and has made the determination that such provision is not necessary. The Company is subject to examination by the IRS and state and local authorities in jurisdictions where the Company has significant business operations. The Company’s federal tax returns for 2014 and forward remain subject to examination by the IRS. |

There were no shares repurchased by the Company under the Repurchase Program during the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016. As of December 31, 2017, there remain available for repurchase 1,951,305 shares of Class A common stock under the Repurchase Program. Preferred Stock The Company has authorized share capital of 2,000,000 shares of 7.00% Series B Cumulative Perpetual Redeemable Preferred Stock (the “Series B Preferred Stock”), par value of $.01 per share, and 100,000 authorized and unissued shares designated as Series A Junior Preferred Stock, and 22,900,000 shares of undesignated preferred stock. The Company’s Board of Directors has the authority, without further action by the shareholders, to issue additional preferred stock in one or more series and to fix the terms and rights of the preferred stock. In May 2017, the Company completed an initial public offering in which 135,000 shares of its Series B Preferred Stock were issued to the public at a public offering price of $24.00 per share for proceeds net of underwriting discounts and commissions and expenses of $3,018. The Series B Preferred Stock is publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol “AI PrB.” The Series B Preferred Stock has no stated maturity, is not subject to any sinking fund and will remain outstanding indefinitely unless repurchased or redeemed by the Company. Holders of Series B Preferred Stock have no voting rights, except under limited conditions, and are entitled to receive a cumulative cash dividend at a rate of 7.00% per annum of their $25.00 per share liquidation preference before holders of common stock are entitled to receive any dividends. Shares of Series B Preferred Stock are redeemable at $25.00 per share, plus accumulated and unpaid dividends (whether or not authorized or declared) exclusively at our option commencing on May 12, 2022 or earlier upon the occurrence of a change in control. Dividends are payable quarterly in arrears on the 30th day of each December, March, June and September. As of December 31, 2017, we had declared and paid all required quarterly dividends on our Series B Preferred Stock. Preferred Equity Distribution Agreement On May 16, 2017, the Company entered into a preferred equity distribution agreement (the “Series B Preferred Equity Distribution Agreement”) with JonesTrading Institutional Services LLC (the “Series B Preferred Equity Agent”), pursuant to which the Company may offer and sell, from time to time, up to 1,865,000 shares of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock. Pursuant to the Series B Preferred Equity Distribution Agreement, shares of the Company’s Series B Preferred stock may be offered and sold through the Series B Preferred Equity Sales Agent in transactions that are deemed to be “at the market” offerings as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, including sales made directly on the NYSE or sales made to or through a market maker other than on an exchange or, subject to the terms of a written notice from the Company, in privately negotiated transactions. The following table provides information about the issuances of preferred stock under the Series B Preferred Equity Distribution Agreement: Year Ended Series B Preferred Stock Issuances December 31, 2017 Shares issued 168,291 Weighted average public offering price $ 24.95 Net proceeds (1) $ 4,090 (1) Net of selling commissions and expenses.

Shareholder Rights Agreement The Board of Directors adopted and the Company’s shareholders approved a shareholder rights agreement (“Rights Plan”). Under the terms of the Rights Plan, in general, if a person or group acquires or commences a tender or exchange offer for beneficial ownership of 4.9% or more of the outstanding shares of our Class A common stock upon a determination by our Board of Directors (an “Acquiring Person”), all of our other Class A and Class B common shareholders will have the right to purchase securities from us at a discount to such securities’ fair market value, thus causing substantial dilution to the Acquiring Person. The Board of Directors adopted the Rights Plan in an effort to protect against a possible limitation on the Company’s ability to use its NOL carryforwards, NCL carryforwards, and built-in losses under Sections 382 and 383 of the Code. The Company’s ability to use its NOLs, NCLs and built-in losses would be limited if it experienced an “ownership change” under Section 382 of the Code. In general, an “ownership change” would occur if there is a cumulative change in the ownership of the Company’s common stock of more than 50% by one or more “5% shareholders” during a three-year period. The Rights Plan was adopted to dissuade any person or group from acquiring 4.9% or more of the Company’s outstanding Class A common stock, each, an Acquiring Person, without the approval of the Board of Directors and triggering an “ownership change” as defined by Section 382. The Rights Plan and any outstanding rights will expire at the earliest of (i) June 4, 2019, (ii) the time at which the rights are redeemed or exchanged pursuant to the Rights Plan, (iii) the repeal of Section 382 and 383 of the Code or any successor statute if the Board of Directors determines that the Rights Plan is no longer necessary for the preservation of the applicable tax benefits, and (iv) the beginning of a taxable year to which the Board of Directors determines that no applicable tax benefits may be carried forward. |

Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share-based Payments | Note 13. Long-Term Incentive Plan The Company provides its employees and its non-employee directors with long-term incentive compensation in the form of stock-based awards. On April 7, 2014, the Board of Directors adopted the Arlington Asset Investment Corp. 2014 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2014 Plan”), which was approved by the Company’s shareholders and became effective on July 15, 2014. Under the 2014 Plan, a maximum number of 2,000,000 shares of Class A common stock of the Company, subject to adjustment as set forth in the 2014 Plan, were authorized for issuance and may be issued to employees, directors, consultants and advisors of the Company and its affiliates. As of December 31, 2017, 1,787,172 shares remained available for issuance under the 2014 Plan. The 2014 Plan replaced the Arlington Asset Investment Corp. 2011 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2011 Plan”). No additional grants will be made under the 2011 Plan. However, previous grants under the 2011 Plan will remain in effect subject to the terms of the 2011 Plan and the applicable award agreement, and shares of Class A common stock may be issued under the 2011 Plan. The shares of Class A common stock to be issued under the 2011 Plan are subject to the achievement of performance measures and/or vesting. As of December 31, 2017, 269,283 shares remained available for issuance under the 2011 Plan. Under the 2014 Plan, the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors may grant restricted stock, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), performance stock units (“PSUs”), stock options, stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) and/or other stock-based awards. However, no participant may be granted (i) stock options or SARs during any twelve-month period covering more than 300,000 shares or (ii) restricted stock, RSUs, PSUs and/or other stock-based awards denominated in shares that are intended to qualify as performance based compensation under Section 162(m) that permit the participant to earn more than 300,000 shares for each twelve months in the vesting or period on which performance is measured (“Performance Period”). These share limits are subject to adjustment in the event of any merger, reorganization, consolidation, recapitalization, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, spin-off, extraordinary cash dividend or similar transaction or other change in corporate structure affecting the share. In addition, during any calendar year no participant may be granted performance awards that are denominated in cash and that are intended to qualify as performance based compensation under Section 162(m) under which more than $10,000 may be earned for each twelve months in the Performance Period. Each of the individual award limits described in this paragraph will be multiplied by two during the first calendar year in which the participant commences employment with the Company and its affiliates. The 2014 Plan will terminate on the tenth anniversary of its effective date unless sooner terminated by the Board of Directors. Stock-based compensation costs are initially measured at the estimated fair value of the awards on the grant date developed using appropriate valuation methodologies, as adjusted for estimates of future award forfeitures. Valuation methodologies used and subsequent expense recognition is dependent upon each award’s service and performance conditions. As a result of ASU No. 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting (Topic 718) Performance Stock Unit Awards Compensation costs for PSUs subject to nonmarket-based performance conditions (i.e. performance not predicated on changes in the Company’s stock price) are measured at the closing stock price on the dates of grant, adjusted for the probability of achieving certain benchmarks included in the performance metrics. These initial cost estimates are recognized as expense over the requisite performance periods, as adjusted for changes in estimated, and ultimately actual, performance and forfeitures. Compensation costs for components of PSUs subject to market-based performance conditions (i.e. performance predicated on changes in the Company’s stock price) are measured at the dates of grant using a Monte Carlo simulation model which incorporates into the valuation the inherent uncertainty regarding the achievement of the market-based performance metrics. These initial valuation amounts are recognized as expense over the requisite performance periods, subject only to adjustments for changes in estimated, and ultimately actual, forfeitures. The Company has granted performance stock units to executive officers of the Company that are convertible into shares of Class A common stock following the applicable performance periods. The performance goals established by the Compensation Committee are based on (i) the compound annualized growth in the Company’s book value per share (i.e., book value change with such adjustments as determined and approved by the Compensation Committee plus dividends on a reinvested basis) during the applicable performance period (“Book Value PSUs’), (ii) the compound annualized total shareholder return (i.e., share price change plus dividends on a reinvested basis) during the applicable performance period (“TSR PSUs”), and (iii) annual return on equity during the applicable performance period (“ROE PSUs’). The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company approved the following PSU grants for the periods indicated: December 31, 2017 2016 2015 Book Value PSUs granted 57,732 71,926 45,054 Book Value PSU grant date fair value per share $ 13.58 $ 12.93 $ 19.56 TSR PSUs granted 23,787 80,173 58,169 TSR PSU grant date fair value per share $ 16.48 $ 11.60 $ 15.15 ROE PSUs granted 57,732 — — ROE PSU grant date fair value per share $ 13.58 $ — $ — For the Company’s Book Value PSUs and ROE PSUs, the grant date fair value per share is based on the close price on the date of grant. For the Company’s TSR PSUs, the grant date fair value per share is based on a Monte Carlo simulation model. The following assumptions, determined as of the date of grant, were used in the Monte Carlo simulation model to measure the grant date fair value per share of the Company’s TSR PSUs for the periods indicated: TSR PSUs Granted in: 2017 2016 2015 Closing stock price on date of grant $ 13.58 $ 12.93 $ 19.56 Beginning average stock price on date of grant (1) $ 14.53 $ 13.40 $ 20.82 Expected volatility (2) 24.03 % 24.78 % 21.72 % Dividend yield (3) 0.00 % 0.00 % 0.00 % Risk-free rate (4) 1.52 % 0.71 % 1.08 % (1) Based upon the 30 trading days prior to and including the date of grant. (2) Based upon the most recent three-year volatility as of the date of grant. (3) Dividend equivalents are accrued during the performance period and deemed reinvested in additional stock units, which are to be paid out at the end of the performance period to the extent the underlying PSU is earned. Applying dividend yield assumption of 0.00% in the Monte Carlo simulation is mathematically equivalent to reinvesting dividends on a continuous basis and including the value of the dividends in the final payout. (4) Based upon the yield of a U.S. Treasury bond with a three-year maturity as of the date of grant. The vesting of the PSUs is subject to both continued employment under the terms of the award agreement and the achievement of the Company performance goals established by the Compensation Committee. For Book Value PSU and TSR PSU awards granted during the three years ended December 31, 2017, the Compensation Committee established a three-year performance period. The actual number of shares of Class A common stock that will be issued to each participant at the end of the applicable performance period will vary between 0% and 250% of the number of Book Value PSUs and TSR PSUs granted, depending on performance results. If the minimum threshold level of performance goals is not achieved, no Book Value PSUs or TSR PSUs are earned. To the extent the performance results are between the minimum threshold level and maximum level of performance goals, between 50% to 250% of the number of Book Value PSUs and TSR PSUs granted are earned. Upon settlement, vested Book Value PSUs and TSR PSUs are converted into shares of the Company’s Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis. For the ROE PSU awards granted during the year ended December 31, 2017, the Compensation Committee established a one-year performance period. Any ROE PSUs earned at the end of the one-year performance period would be converted into an equal number of shares of restricted stock that will vest on the third anniversary of the original ROE PSU grant date subject to both continued employment under the terms of the award agreement. If the threshold level of performance goals is not achieved, no ROE PSUs are earned. PSUs do not have any voting rights. No dividends are paid on outstanding PSUs during the applicable performance period. Instead, dividend equivalents are accrued on outstanding PSUs during the applicable performance period, deemed invested in shares of Class A common stock and are paid out in shares of Class A common stock at the end of the performance period to the extent that the underlying PSUs vest. For the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016, and 2015, the Company recognized $2,263, $1,266 and $(560), respectively, of compensation expense related to PSU awards. For the year ended December 31, 2015, the compensation expense included a reversal of $1,474 of expense recognized in prior periods due to a reduction in the number of PSUs expected to vest based on deterioration in performance metrics. As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company had unrecognized compensation expense related to PSU awards of $4,485 and $3,591, respectively. The unrecognized compensation expense as of December 31, 2017 is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.0 years. For the year ended December 31, 2015, the intrinsic value of PSU awards that vested were $716. There were no PSU awards that vested for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016. Employee Restricted Stock Awards Compensation costs for restricted stock awards subject only to service conditions are measured at the closing stock price on the dates of grant and are recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods for the awards, as adjusted for changes in estimated, and ultimately actual, forfeitures. The Company grants restricted common shares to employees that vest ratably over a three-year period or cliff-vest after two to four years based on continued employment over these specified periods. A summary of these unvested restricted stock awards is presented below: Number of Shares Weighted-average Grant-date Fair Value Weighted- average Remaining Vested Period Share Balance as of December 31, 2014 117,112 26.54 1.9 Granted 58,000 14.35 — Forfeitures (6,668 ) 26.34 — Vestitures (36,669 ) 25.63 — Share Balance as of December 31, 2015 131,775 21.44 2.0 Granted 73,457 14.67 — Forfeitures — — — Vestitures (43,341 ) 21.04 — Share Balance as of December 31, 2016 161,891 18.47 1.4 Granted 74,000 12.74 — Forfeitures — — — Vestitures (73,050 ) 20.00 — Share Balance as of December 31, 2017 162,841 15.18 1.3 For the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016, and 2015, the Company recognized $1,172, $1,197 and $1,207, respectively, of compensation expense related to restricted stock awards. As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company had unrecognized compensation expense related to restricted stock awards of $1,284 and $1,512, respectively. The unrecognized compensation expense as of December 31, 2017 is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.3 years. For the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, the intrinsic value of restricted stock awards that vested were $970, $630 and $646, respectively. In addition, as part of the Company’s satisfaction of incentive compensation earned for past service under the Company’s variable compensation programs, employees may receive restricted Class A common stock in lieu of cash payments. These restricted Class A common stock shares are issued to an irrevocable trust and are not returnable to the Company. No such shares were issued in 2017, 2016 and 2015. As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company had 9,155 vested shares of the undistributed restricted stock issued to the trust. Director Restricted Stock Units Compensation costs for RSU awards subject only to service conditions are measured at the closing stock price on the dates of grant and are recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods for the awards, as adjusted for changes in estimated, and ultimately actual, forfeitures. Compensation costs for RSUs that do not require future service conditions are expensed immediately. The Company’s non-employee directors are compensated in both cash and RSUs. RSUs awarded under the Company’s 2014 Plan vest immediately on the award grant date and are convertible into shares of Class A common stock. For RSUs granted under the Company’s 2014 Plan and 2011 Plan, the RSUs are convertible into shares of Class A common stock at the later of the date the non-employee director ceases to be a member of the Company’s Board or the first anniversary of the grant date. For RSUs granted under prior long-term incentive plans, the RSUs are convertible into shares of Class A common stock one year after the non-employee director ceases to be a member of the Company’s Board. The RSUs do not have any voting rights but are entitled to cash dividend equivalent payments. As of December 31, 2017, the Company had 218,964 RSUs outstanding. A summary of the RSUs grants is presented below for the periods indicated: December 31, 2017 2016 2015 RSUs granted 33,540 37,007 25,506 Grant date fair value $ 14.31 $ 13.78 $ 20.78 The grant date fair value is based on the closing price of the Class A common stock on the New York Stock Exchange on the date of grant. For the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, the Company recognized $491, $511 and $496, respectively, of director fees related to these RSUs. |

Financial Instruments with Off-Balance-Sheet Risk and Credit Risk | Note 14. Financial Instruments with Off-Balance-Sheet Risk and Credit Risk As of December 31, 2017, the Company did not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance, or special purpose or variable interest entities (“VIEs”), established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. The Company’s economic interests held in unconsolidated VIEs are limited in nature to those of a passive holder of MBS issued by a securitization trust. As of December 31, 2017, the Company had not consolidated for financial reporting purposes any securitization trusts as the Company does not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of such entities. Further, as of December 31, 2017, the Company had not guaranteed any obligations of unconsolidated entities or entered into any commitment or intent to provide funding to any such entities. |

Accounting Changes And Error Corrections [Abstract] | |
Revisions to Previously Reported Financial Statements | Note 15. Revisions to Previously Reported Financial Statements During the second quarter of 2017, the Company concluded that the previously reported deferred tax assets, net, and accumulated deficit were incorrect for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and for the five fiscal years ended December 31, 2016 with a corresponding effect on the previously reported income tax benefit and net income for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012. Although the impact of this change was not material to the consolidated financial statements for the five fiscal years ended December 31, 2016 and for the three months ended March 31, 2017, the Company has revised its previously reported consolidated financial statements for those periods to reflect the cumulative impact of the errors. The following tables set forth the affected line items within the Company’s previously reported consolidated financial statements for the periods indicated: As of December 31, 2016 As Previously Reported Adjustment As Revised Consolidated Balance Sheets: Deferred tax assets, net $ 73,432 $ (24,603 ) $ 48,829 Total assets 4,141,554 (24,603 ) 4,116,951 Accumulated deficit (1,527,104 ) (24,603 ) (1,551,707 ) Total stockholders' equity 383,416 (24,603 ) 358,813 Total liabilities and stockholders' equity 4,141,554 (24,603 ) 4,116,951 As of December 31, 2015 As Previously Reported Adjustment As Revised Consolidated Balance Sheets: Deferred tax assets, net $ 97,530 $ (24,603 ) $ 72,927 Total assets 4,202,939 (24,603 ) 4,178,336 Accumulated deficit (1,426,655 ) (24,603 ) (1,451,258 ) Total stockholders' equity 484,031 (24,603 ) 459,428 Total liabilities and stockholders' equity 4,202,939 (24,603 ) 4,178,336 As of December 31, 2014 As Previously Reported Adjustment As Revised Consolidated Statements of Changes in Equity: Accumulated deficit (1,287,855 ) (24,603 ) (1,312,458 ) Total stockholders' equity 645,274 (24,603 ) 620,671 |

Quarterly Financial Information Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Quarterly Financial Information | Note 16. Quarterly Data (Unaudited) The following tables set forth selected information for each of the fiscal quarters during the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016. The selected quarterly data is derived from unaudited financial statements of the Company and has been prepared on the same basis as the annual, audited financial statements to include, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary for fair statement of the results for such periods. The sum of quarterly earnings per share amounts may not equal full year earnings per share amounts due to differing average outstanding shares amounts for the respective periods.

Summary of Significant Accoun25
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies) | 12 Months Ended |
Dec. 31, 2017 | |
Cash Equivalents | Cash Equivalents Cash equivalents include demand deposits with banks, money market accounts and highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, approximately 98% and 99%, respectively, of the Company’s cash equivalents were invested in money market funds that invest primarily in U.S. Treasuries and other securities backed by the U.S. government. |
Investment Security Purchases and Sales | Investment Security Purchases and Sales Purchases and sales of investment securities are recorded on the settlement date of the transfer unless the trade qualifies as a “regular-way” trade and the associated commitment qualifies for an exemption from the accounting guidance applicable to derivative instruments. A regular-way trade is an investment security purchase or sale transaction that is expected to settle within the period of time following the trade date that is prevalent or traditional for that specific type of security. Any amounts payable or receivable for unsettled security trades are recorded as “sold securities receivable” or “purchased securities payable” in the consolidated balance sheets. |
Interest Income Recognition for Investments in Agency MBS | Interest Income Recognition for Investments in Agency MBS The Company recognizes interest income for its investments in agency MBS by applying the “interest method” permitted by GAAP, whereby purchase premiums and discounts are amortized and accreted, respectively, as an adjustment to contractual interest income accrued at each security’s stated coupon rate. The interest method is applied at the individual security level based upon each security’s effective interest rate. The Company calculates each security’s effective interest rate at the time of purchase by solving for the discount rate that equates the present value of that security's remaining contractual cash flows (assuming no principal prepayments) to its purchase price. Because each security’s effective interest rate does not reflect an estimate of future prepayments, the Company refers to this manner of applying the interest method as the “contractual effective interest method.” When applying the contractual effective interest method to its investments in agency MBS, as principal prepayments occur, a proportional amount of the unamortized premium or discount is recognized in interest income such that the effective interest rate on the remaining security balance is unaffected. |
Interest Income Recognition for Investments in Private-Label MBS | Interest Income Recognition for Investments in Private-Label MBS The Company’s investments in private-label MBS were generally acquired at significant discounts to their par values due in large part to an expectation that the Company will be unable to collect all of the contractual cash flows of the securities. Investments in private-label MBS acquired prior to 2015 were classified as available-for-sale, all of which had been sold as of December 31, 2016. The Company has elected to classify its investments in private-label MBS acquired in 2015 or later as trading securities. Interest income from investments in private-label MBS is recognized using a prospective level-yield methodology which is based upon each security’s effective interest rate. The amount of periodic interest income recognized is determined by applying the security’s effective interest rate to its amortized cost basis or reference amount. At the time of acquisition, the security’s effective interest rate is calculated by solving for the single discount rate that equates the present value of the Company’s best estimate of the amount and timing of the cash flows expected to be collected from the security to its purchase price. To prepare its best estimate of cash flows expected to be collected, the Company develops a number of assumptions about the future performance of the pool of mortgage loans that serve as collateral for its investment, including assumptions about the timing and amount of prepayments and credit losses. In each subsequent quarterly reporting period, the amount and timing of cash flows expected to be collected from the security are re-estimated based upon current information and events. The following table provides a description of how periodic changes in the estimate of cash flows expected to be collected affect interest income recognition prospectively for investments in private-label MBS that are classified as available-for-sale and trading securities, respectively: Effect on Interest Income Recognition for Investments in Private-Label MBS Classified as: Scenario: Available-for-Sale Trading A positive change in cash flows occurs. Actual cash flows exceed prior estimates and/or a positive change occurs in the estimate of expected remaining cash flows. If the positive change in cash flows is deemed significant, a revised effective interest rate is calculated and applied prospectively such that the positive change is recognized as incremental interest income over the remaining life of the security. This revised effective interest rate is also used in subsequent periods to determine if any declines in the fair value of that security are other-than-temporary. A revised effective interest rate is calculated and applied prospectively such that the positive change in cash flows is recognized as incremental interest income over the remaining life of the security. An adverse change in cash flows occurs. Actual cash flows fall short of prior estimates and/or an adverse change occurs in the estimate of expected remaining cash flows. The security’s effective interest rate is unaffected. If an adverse change in cash flows occurs for a security that is impaired (that is, its fair value is less than its amortized cost basis), the impairment is considered other-than-temporary due to the occurrence of a credit loss. If a credit loss occurs, the Company writes-down the amortized cost basis of the security to an amount equal to the present value of cash flows expected to be collected, discounted at the security’s existing effective interest rate, and recognizes a corresponding other-than-temporary impairment charge in earnings as a component of “investment gain (loss), net.” The amount of periodic interest income recognized over the remaining life of the security will be reduced accordingly. Specifically, if an adverse change in cash flows occurs for a security that is impaired (that is, its fair value is less than its reference amount), the reference amount to which the security’s existing effective interest rate will be prospectively applied will be reduced to the present value of cash flows expected to be collected, discounted at the security’s existing effective interest rate. If an adverse change in cash flows occurs for a security that is not impaired, the security’s effective interest rate will be reduced accordingly and applied on a prospective basis. |
Other Comprehensive Income | Other Comprehensive Income Comprehensive income includes net income as currently reported by the Company on the consolidated statements of comprehensive income adjusted for other comprehensive income. Other comprehensive income for the Company represents periodic unrealized holding gains and losses related to the Company’s investments in MBS classified as available-for-sale. Accumulated unrealized holding gains and losses for available-for-sale MBS are reclassified into net income as a component of “investment gain (loss), net” upon (i) sale or realization, or (ii) the occurrence of an other-than-temporary impairment. As of December 31, 2016 all of the Company’s investments in MBS are classified as trading securities. Accordingly, all unrealized gains and losses related to the Company’s investments in MBS during 2017 have been recognized in net income. |
Earnings Per Share | Earnings Per Share Basic earnings per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing net income or loss applicable to common stock by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the respective period. Diluted earnings per share includes the impact of dilutive securities such as unvested shares of restricted stock and performance share units. The following tables present the computations of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share for the periods indicated: Year Ended December 31, (Shares in thousands) 2017 2016 2015 Basic weighted-average common shares outstanding 25,649 23,051 23,002 Performance share units and unvested restricted stock 362 — — Diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding 26,011 23,051 23,002 Net income (loss) attributable to common stock $ 17,184 $ (41,347 ) $ (69,403 ) Basic earnings (loss) per common share $ 0.67 $ (1.79 ) $ (3.02 ) Diluted earnings (loss) per common share $ 0.66 $ (1.79 ) $ (3.02 ) The diluted loss per share for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 did not include the antidilutive effect of 150,996 and 86,372 shares, respectively, of unvested shares of restricted stock and performance share units. |

Recent Accounting Pronouncements | Recent Accounting Pronouncements The following table provides a brief description of recently issued accounting pronouncements and their actual or expected effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements: Standard Description Date of Adoption Effect on the Consolidated Financial Statements Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance ASU No. 2016-07, Simplifying the Transition to the Equity Method of Accounting (Topic 323) This amendment eliminates the requirement that when an investment qualifies for use of the equity method as a result of an increase in the level of ownership interest or degree of influence, an investor must adjust the investment, results of operations, and retained earnings retroactively on a step-by-step basis as if the equity method had been in effect during all previous periods that the investment had been held. January 1, 2017 The adoption of ASU No. 2016-07 did not impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements. ASU No. 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting (Topic 718) This amendment was issued with the objective of simplifying several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. Some of the areas for simplification apply only to nonpublic entities. January 1, 2017 The adoption of ASU No. 2016-07 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Recently Issued Accounting Guidance Not Yet Adopted ASU No. 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date This amendment defers the effective date of ASU No. 2014-09 for all entities by one year. ASU No. 2014-09 requires entities to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Revenue recognition with respect to financial instruments is not within the scope of ASU No. 2014-09. January 1, 2018 The Company does not expect that the adoption of ASU No. 2015-14 will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. ASU No. 2016-01, Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (Subtopic 825-10) This amendment makes targeted changes to certain aspects of guidance applicable to financial assets and financial liabilities. The amendment primarily affects accounting for certain equity investments, financial liabilities measured under the fair value option, and certain financial instrument presentation and disclosure requirements. Accounting for investments in debt securities and financial liabilities not measured under the fair value option is largely unaffected by this amendment. January 1, 2018 ASU No. 2016-01 requires entities to measure investments in equity securities at fair value, unless fair value measurement is impractical, with changes in fair value recognized in current period earnings. Upon the adoption of ASU No. 2016-01, the Company will recognize the difference between the fair value of its investments in equity securities currently carried at their historical cost (net of impairments) and the securities’ fair value as a cumulative-effect adjustment to the balance sheet as of January 1, 2018. As of December 31, 2017, the Company’s investments in equity securities measured at cost have a balance sheet carrying value of $1,236 and an estimated fair value of $5,362. Based on these amounts, the adoption of this amendment would result in an estimated cumulative-effect increase of $4,126 in stockholders’ equity. Subsequent to January 1, 2018, all changes in the estimated fair value of such instruments will be recognized in net income. ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) This amendment replaces the existing lease accounting model with a revised model. The primary change effectuated by the revised lease accounting model is the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases. January 1, 2019 The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this amendment on its consolidated financial statements. ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 606) The amendments in this update require financial assets measured at amortized cost as well as available-for-sale debt securities to be measured for impairment on the basis of the net amount expected to be collected. Credit losses are to be recognized through an allowance for credit losses, which differs from the direct write-down of the amortized cost basis currently required for other-than-temporary impairments of investments in debt securities. This update also makes substantial changes to the manner in which interest income is to be recognized for financial assets acquired with a more-than-insignificant amount of credit deterioration since origination. This update will not affect the accounting for investments in debt securities that are classified as trading securities. January 1, 2019 As of December 31, 2017, all of the Company’s investments in debt securities are classified as trading securities. Accordingly, the Company does not expect ASU No. 2016-13 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. ASU No. 2016-15, Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (Topic 230) This amendment was issued to reduce diversity in practice with respect to eight various statement of cash flow reporting issues for which existing GAAP is either unclear or does not provide specific guidance. January 1, 2018 The Company does not expect that the adoption of ASU No. 2016-15 will have a material impact on the classification of cash inflows or outflows within its consolidated statement of cash flows. ASU No. 2017-08, Premium Amortization of Purchased Callable Debt Securities (Subtopic 310-20) This amendment requires purchase premiums for investments in debt securities that are noncontingently callable by the issuer (at a fixed price and preset date) to be amortized to the earliest call date. Previously, purchase premiums for such investments were permitted to be amortized to the instrument’s maturity date. January 1, 2020 Investments in prepayable financial assets, such as residential MBS, for which the embedded call options are not held by the issuer are not within the scope of ASU No. 2017-08. Accordingly, the Company does not expect the adoption of ASU No. 2017-08 to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements. ASU No. 2017-12, Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities (Topic 815) This update made several targeted amendments to existing GAAP with the objectives of facilitating (i) financial reporting that more closely reflects entities’ risk management strategies and (ii) greater ease of understanding and interpreting the effects of hedge accounting an entities’ reported results. January 1, 2019 Hedge accounting pursuant to GAAP is an elective, rather than a required, accounting model. The Company does not currently elect to apply hedge accounting and, at this time, does not plan to elect to apply hedge accounting in the future. Accordingly, at this time, the Company does not expect ASU No. 2017-12 will have an effect on its consolidated financial statements. |
Repurchase Agreements | The Company finances the purchase of MBS through repurchase agreements, which are accounted for as collateralized borrowing arrangements. In a repurchase transaction, the Company sells MBS to a counterparty under a master repurchase agreement in exchange for cash and concurrently agrees to repurchase the same security at a future date in an amount equal to the cash initially exchanged plus an agreed-upon amount of interest. MBS sold under agreements to repurchase remain on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets because the Company maintains effective control over such securities throughout the duration of the arrangement. Throughout the contractual term of a repurchase agreement, the Company recognizes a “repurchase agreement” liability on its consolidated balance sheets to reflect the obligation to repay to the counterparty the proceeds received upon the initial transfer of the MBS. The difference between the proceeds received by the Company upon the initial transfer of the MBS and the contractually agreed-upon repurchase price is recognized as interest expense over the term of the repurchase arrangement on a level-yield basis. |
Derivative Instruments | In the normal course of its operations, the Company is a party to financial instruments that are accounted for as derivative instruments. Derivative instruments are recorded at fair value as either “derivative assets” or “derivative liabilities” in the consolidated balance sheets, with all periodic changes in fair value reflected as a component of “investment gain (loss), net” in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Cash receipts or payments related to derivative instruments are classified as investing activities within the consolidated statements of cash flows. In addition to interest rate derivatives that are used for interest rate risk management, the Company is a party to derivative instruments that economically serve as investments, such as forward contracts to purchase fixed-rate “pass-through” agency MBS on a non-specified pool basis, which are known as to-be-announced (“TBA”) contracts. A TBA contract is a forward contract for the purchase or sale of a fixed-rate agency MBS at a predetermined price, face amount, issuer, coupon, and stated maturity for settlement on an agreed upon future date. The specific agency MBS that will be delivered to satisfy the TBA trade is not known at the inception of the trade. The Company accounts for TBA contracts as derivative instruments because the Company cannot assert that it is probable at inception and throughout the term of an individual TBA contract that its settlement will result in physical delivery of the underlying agency MBS, or the individual TBA contract will not settle in the shortest time period possible. |
Derivatives, Offsetting of Financial Assets and Liabilities | The agreements that govern certain of the Company’s derivative instruments and collateralized short-term financing arrangements provide for a right of setoff in the event of default or bankruptcy with respect to either party to such transactions. The Company presents derivative assets and liabilities as well as collateralized short-term financing arrangements on a gross basis . Receivables recognized for the right to reclaim cash initial margin posted in respect of interest rate derivative instruments are included in the line item “deposits, net” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Prior to January 1, 2017, the daily exchange of variation margin associated with centrally cleared derivative instruments was considered a pledge of collateral. For these prior periods, receivables recognized for the right to reclaim cash variation margin posted in respect of interest rate derivative instruments are included in the line item “deposits, net” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The Company elected to offset any payables recognized for the obligation to return cash variation margin received from an interest rate derivative instrument counterparty against receivables recognized for the right to reclaim cash initial margin posted by the Company to that same counterparty . Beginning on January 1, 2017, as a result of a CME amendment to their rule book which governs their central clearing activities, the daily exchange of variation margin associated with a centrally cleared derivative instrument is legally characterized as the daily settlement of the derivative instrument itself, as opposed to a pledge of collateral. Accordingly, beginning in 2017, the Company accounts for the daily receipt or payment of variation margin associated with its centrally cleared interest rate swaps as a direct reduction to the carrying value of the interest rate swap derivative asset or liability, respectively. Beginning in 2017, the carrying amount of centrally cleared interest rate swaps reflected in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets is equal to the unsettled fair value of such instruments; because variation margin is exchanged on a one-day lag, the unsettled fair value of such instruments represents the change in fair value that occurred on the last day of the reporting period . |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments | The accounting principles related to fair value measurements define fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Level 1 Inputs - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that are accessible by the Company at the measurement date Level 2 Inputs - Quoted prices in markets that are not active or financial instruments for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly; and Level 3 Inputs - Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, including significant judgments made by the Company about the assumptions that a market participant would use The Company measures the fair value of the following assets and liabilities: |
Agency MBS | |
Investment Security Purchases and Sales | The Company’s investments in agency MBS are reported in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets at fair value. As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company had $4,054,424 and $3,911,375, respectively, of fair value in agency MBS classified as trading securities. |
Private-Label MBS | |
Investment Security Purchases and Sales | The Company’s investments in private-label MBS are reported in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets at fair value. Investments in private-label MBS acquired prior to 2015 were classified as available-for-sale, all of which had been sold as of December 31, 2016. The Company has elected to classify its investments in private-label MBS acquired in 2015 or later as trading securities. The Company evaluates available-for-sale MBS for other-than-temporary impairment on a quarterly basis. When the fair value of an available-for-sale security is less than its amortized cost at the quarterly reporting date, the security is considered impaired. Impairments determined to be other-than-temporary are recognized as a direct write-down to the security’s amortized cost basis with a corresponding charge recognized in earnings as a component of “investment gain (loss), net.” An impairment is considered other-than-temporary when (i) the Company intends to sell the impaired security, (ii) the Company more-likely-than not will be required to sell the impaired security prior to the recovery of its amortized cost basis, or (iii) a credit loss exists. A credit loss exists when the present value of the Company’s estimate of the cash flows expected to be collected from the security, discounted at the security’s existing effective interest rate, is less than the security’s amortized cost basis. If the Company intends to sell an impaired security or it more-likely-than-not will be required to sell an impaired security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, the Company writes-down the amortized cost basis of the security to an amount equal to the security’s fair value and recognizes a corresponding other-than-temporary impairment charge in earnings as a component of “investment gain (loss), net.” If a credit loss exists for an impaired security that the Company does not intend to sell nor will it likely be required to sell prior to recovery, the Company writes-down the amortized cost basis of the security to an amount equal to the present value of cash flows expected to be collected, discounted at the security’s existing effective interest rate, and recognizes a corresponding other-than-temporary impairment charge in earnings as a component of “investment gain (loss), net.” |

Share Based Compensation Award Valuation Assumptions | The following assumptions, determined as of the date of grant, were used in the Monte Carlo simulation model to measure the grant date fair value per share of the Company’s TSR PSUs for the periods indicated: TSR PSUs Granted in: 2017 2016 2015 Closing stock price on date of grant $ 13.58 $ 12.93 $ 19.56 Beginning average stock price on date of grant (1) $ 14.53 $ 13.40 $ 20.82 Expected volatility (2) 24.03 % 24.78 % 21.72 % Dividend yield (3) 0.00 % 0.00 % 0.00 % Risk-free rate (4) 1.52 % 0.71 % 1.08 % (1) Based upon the 30 trading days prior to and including the date of grant. (2) Based upon the most recent three-year volatility as of the date of grant. (3) Dividend equivalents are accrued during the performance period and deemed reinvested in additional stock units, which are to be paid out at the end of the performance period to the extent the underlying PSU is earned. Applying dividend yield assumption of 0.00% in the Monte Carlo simulation is mathematically equivalent to reinvesting dividends on a continuous basis and including the value of the dividends in the final payout. (4) Based upon the yield of a U.S. Treasury bond with a three-year maturity as of the date of grant. |
