Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Organization | ORGANIZATION CYS Investments, Inc. (the "Company" "we", "us", and "our") was formed as a Maryland corporation on January 3, 2006, and commenced operations on February 10, 2006. The Company has elected to be taxed and intends to continue to qualify as a real estate investment trust ("REIT") and is required to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), with respect thereto. The Company has primarily purchased residential mortgage-backed securities that are issued and the principal and interest of which are guaranteed by a federally chartered corporation ("Agency RMBS"), such as the Federal National Mortgage Association ("Fannie Mae") or the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("Freddie Mac"), or an agency of the U.S. government such as the Government National Mortgage Association ("Ginnie Mae"), and debt securities issued by the United States Department of Treasury ("U.S. Treasuries"). The Company may also purchase collateralized mortgage obligations issued by a government agency or government-sponsored entity that are collateralized by Agency RMBS ("CMOs"), or securities issued by a government sponsored entity that are not backed by collateral but, in the case of government agencies, are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government, and, in the case of government sponsored entities, are backed by the integrity and creditworthiness of the issuer ("U.S. Agency Debentures"). The Companyâs common stock, Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, $25.00 liquidation preference (the "Series A Preferred Stock"), and Series B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, $25.00 liquidation preference (the "Series B Preferred Stock"), trade on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbols "CYS," "CYS PrA" and "CYS PrB," respectively. In March 2015, our wholly-owned captive insurance subsidiary, CYS Insurance Services, LLC ("CYS Insurance"), was granted membership in the Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") system, specifically in the FHLB of Cincinnati ("FHLBC"). Membership in the FHLBC obligates CYS Insurance to purchase FHLBC membership stock and activity stock, the latter being a percentage of the advances it obtains from the FHLBC. CYS Insurance seeks both short and long-term advances (collectively, "FHLBC Advances") from the FHLBC. On January 12, 2016, the Federal Housing Finance Agency ("FHFA") issued a final rule (the "Final Rule") amending its regulations governing FHLB Membership criteria for captive insurance companies. The Final Rule defines "insurance company" to exclude "captive insurers". Under this Final Rule, which became effective on February 19, 2016, CYS Insurance's membership in the FHLBC was required to be terminated within one year of the effective date and it was not permitted to secure any new advances. As a result, all FHLBC Advances were required to be repaid no later than February 19, 2017. The Company repaid all outstanding FHLBC Advances prior to September 30, 2016, and CYS Insurance's membership in the FHLBC was terminated on February 19, 2017. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Significant Accounting Policies | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") and the instructions to the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") Form 10-Q and Article 10, Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Companyâs audited financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2016, included in the 2016 Annual Report. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire fiscal year. The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all of its subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. The unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make a number of estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the unaudited consolidated financial statements and accompanying footnotes. Actual results could differ from these estimates and the differences may be material. Reclassification Prior to January 1, 2016, Short-term and Long-term FHLBC Advances were presented and disclosed separately on the consolidated balance sheet and interest expense on all FHLBC Advances was reported in the aggregate with interest expense on repurchase agreements. Effective January 1, 2016, Short-term and Long-Term FHLBC Advances are presented on the balance sheet and disclosed in the aggregate, while interest expense on FHLBC Advances is reported separately from interest expense on repurchase agreements. Prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents represent cash held in banks, cash on hand, and liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. We may have bank balances in excess of federally insured amounts; however, we deposit our cash and cash equivalents with high credit-quality institutions to minimize credit risk exposure. We have not experienced, and do not expect, any losses on our cash or cash equivalents. Investments in Securities The Company's investment securities are accounted for in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board's ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 320 -Investments-Debt and Equity Securities . These investments meet the requirements to be classified as available-for-sale under ASC 320. Therefore, our investment securities are recorded at fair market value on the consolidated balance sheets. The Company has chosen to make a fair value election pursuant to ASC 825 -Financial Instruments for its securities. Electing the fair value option requires the Company to record changes in the fair value of investments in the Consolidated Statement of Operations as a component of net unrealized gain (loss) on investments, which in managementâs view more appropriately reflects the results of operations for a particular reporting period as all securities activities will be recorded in a similar manner. The Company records its security purchase and sale transactions, including forward settling transactions, on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses on securities transactions are recorded on an identified cost basis. Agency RMBS The Company's investments in Agency RMBS consist of pass-through certificates backed by fixed-rate, monthly-reset adjustable-rate loans ("ARMs") and Hybrid ARMs, the principal and interest of which are guaranteed by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac or Ginnie Mae. Hybrid ARMs have interest rates that have an initial fixed period (typically three, five, seven or 10 years) and thereafter reset at regular intervals in a manner similar to ARMs. Forward Settling Transactions The Company engages in forward settling transactions to purchase or sell certain securities. Agency RMBS may include forward contracts for Agency RMBS purchases or sales of specified pools on a to-be-announced basis ("TBA Securities") that meet the regular-way scope exception in ASC 815 -Derivatives and Hedging ("ASC 815") , and are recorded on a trade date basis to the extent it is probable that we will take or make timely physical delivery of the related securities. The Company maintains security positions such that sufficiently liquid assets will be available to make payment on the settlement date for securities purchased. The Agency RMBS purchased at the forward settlement date are typically priced at a discount to securities for settlement in the current month. Securities purchased on a forward settling basis are carried at fair value and begin earning interest on the settlement date. Gains or losses may occur on these transactions due to changes in market conditions or the failure of counterparties to perform under the contract. Investment and Derivative Valuation The Company has a pricing committee responsible for establishing valuation policies and procedures, and reviewing and approving valuations during monthly pricing meetings. The pricing committee is composed of individuals from the finance and investment teams and other members of senior management. See Note 7, Fair Value Measurements , for additional details related to the fair value of the Company's assets and liabilities. Interest Income We record interest income and expense on an accrual basis. We accrue interest income based on the outstanding principal amount of the settled securities in our portfolio and their contractual terms. We amortize premiums and discounts using the effective interest method as prepayments occur, and this net amortization is either a reduction of or accretive to interest income from Agency RMBS in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company does not estimate prepayments when calculating the yield to maturity on Agency RMBS. Other Investments CYS Insurance was a member of, and owns capital stock in, the FHLBC. As a condition of its membership in the FHLBC, CYS Insurance was required to maintain FHLBC stock, both for membership and for the level of advances from the FHLBC to CYS Insurance. The Company accounts for its investment in FHLBC stock as a cost method investment in "Other investments" in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets in accordance with ASC 325, Investments - Other . The Company periodically evaluates FHLBC stock for impairment in accordance with ASC 320 -Investments-Debt and Equity Securities . Also included in other investments is a net investment in real estate that is recorded at fair value, inclusive of $3.8 million of corresponding mortgage debt, with changes in estimated fair value recognized in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. Repurchase Agreements and FHLBC Advances Prior to the Final Rule effective date of February 19, 2016, which precluded the Company from securing new FHLBC Advances, we entered into FHLBC Advances that may have an initial maturity of more than one year that were collateralized by the Company's Agency RMBS and U.S. Treasuries (collectively, "Debt Securities"). The Company chose to make a fair value election pursuant to ASC 825 -Financial Instruments for FHLBC Advances with initial terms greater than one year and, therefore, this debt was recorded at fair market value in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The unpaid principal balance of FHLBC Advances with initial maturities less than one year generally approximated fair value due to the short-term nature of the instruments. We priced FHLBC Advances with an initial maturity greater than one year daily through a pricing service that uses a discounted cash flow model to value the debt, and we periodically validated the prices we received through this process. Changes in the fair market value were recorded in current period earnings in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations as a component of net unrealized gain (loss) on FHLBC Advances. Electing the fair value option permitted the Company to record changes in the fair value of FHLBC Advances along with that of our investments in the Consolidated Statements of Operations which, in managementâs view, more appropriately reflects the results of operations for a particular reporting period as all income producing assets and liabilities are recognized in a consistent manner. Borrowings under repurchase agreements ("repo borrowings") are, and FHLBC Advances were, collateralized by the Companyâs Debt Securities. The Companyâs repo borrowing counterparties are institutional dealers in fixed income securities and large financial institutions, and CYS Insurance's counterparty for FHLBC Advances was the FHLBC. Collateral pledged on repo borrowings is valued daily, and collateral that was pledged on FHLBC Advances was valued periodically, and our counterparties (including the FHLBC) may require posting of additional collateral when the fair value of pledged collateral declines. Repo borrowing counterparties have, and the FHLBC had, the right to sell or repledge collateral pledged under repo borrowings and FHLBC Advances. We account for our repo borrowings as short-term indebtedness under ASC 470 -Debt; accordingly, these short-term instruments are reflected in our financial statements at their amortized cost, which approximates fair value due to their short-term nature. Derivative Instruments Included in Derivative Instruments are interest rate swaps and interest rate caps and TBA Derivatives (defined below). The Company uses interest rate swaps and caps (a "swap" or "cap", respectively) to economically hedge a portion of its exposure to market risks, including interest rate and extension risk. The objective of our risk management strategy is to reduce fluctuations in stockholdersâ equity over a range of interest rate scenarios. In particular, we attempt to manage the risk of the cost of our variable rate liabilities increasing during a period of rising interest rates. During the term of a swap or cap, the Company makes and/or receives periodic payments and records unrealized gains or losses as a result of marking the swap or cap to fair value. When the Company terminates a swap or cap, we record a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from (or the cost of) closing the transaction and the Company's cost basis in the contract, if any. We report the periodic payments and amortization of premiums on cap contracts under swap and cap interest expense in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations . Swaps involve a risk that interest rates will move contrary to the Companyâs expectations, thereby increasing the Companyâs payment obligation. The Company's swaps and caps may be subject to a master netting arrangement ("MNA"). The Company is exposed to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the counterparty to the swap or cap, limited to the fair value of collateral posted in excess of the fair value of the contract in a net liability position and the shortage of the fair value of collateral posted for the contract in a net asset position. As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company did not anticipate non-performance by any counterparty. Should interest rates move contrary to the Company's expectations, the Company may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the interest rate swap or cap and may realize a loss. While the Company's derivative agreements generally permit netting or setting-off derivative assets and liabilities with the counterparty, the Company reports derivative assets and liabilities on a gross basis in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Derivatives are accounted for in accordance with ASC 815 which requires recognition of all derivatives as either assets or liabilities at fair value in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets with changes in fair value recognized in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations in "Net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on derivative instruments". Cash receipts and payments related to derivative instruments are classified in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows in accordance with U.S. GAAP in both the operating and investing activities sections. The Company enters into TBA dollar roll transactions whereby the Company is not contractually obligated to accept delivery on the settlement date ("TBA Derivatives"). TBA Derivatives are accounted for as a series of derivative transactions. The fair value of TBA Derivatives is based on similar methods used to value Agency RMBS with gains and losses recorded in Net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on derivative instruments in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations . TBA Derivative transactions involve moving the settlement of a TBA contract out to a later date by entering into an offsetting short position (referred to as a "pair off"), net settling the paired off positions for cash, and simultaneously purchasing a similar TBA contract for a later settlement date. The Company records such pair offs on a gross basis such that there is a sale of the original TBA Derivative and a subsequent purchase of a new TBA Derivative. None of the Company's derivatives have been designated as hedging instruments for accounting purposes. Effective January 1, 2016, the Company recognized all TBAs that do not qualify for the regular-way scope exception under ASC 815 as derivatives. Income Taxes The Company has elected to be treated as a REIT under the Code. The Company will generally not be subject to federal income tax to the extent that it distributes 90% of its taxable income, after application of available tax attributes, within the time limits prescribed by the Code and as long as it satisfies the ongoing REIT requirements including meeting certain asset, income and stock ownership tests. Leases The Company occupies leased office space. The Companyâs lease is accounted for in accordance with ASC 840 -Leases , and is classified as an operating lease. Rent expense is amortized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is included in "General, administrative and other expense" in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. Stock-based compensation The Company applies the provisions of ASC 718- Compensation-Stock Compensation , with regard to its equity incentive plans. ASC 718 covers a wide range of share-based compensation arrangements including stock options, restricted stock plans, performance-based awards, stock appreciation rights and employee stock purchase plans. ASC 718 requires that compensation costs relating to stock-based payment transactions be recognized in the consolidated financial statements. Compensation costs related to restricted common shares issued are measured at their estimated fair value at the grant date, and are amortized and expensed over the vesting period on a straight-line basis. Earnings Per Share ("EPS") The Company computes basic EPS using the two-class method by dividing net income (loss), after adjusting for the impact of unvested stock awards deemed to be participating securities, by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding, calculated excluding unvested stock awards. The Company computes diluted EPS by dividing net income (loss), after adjusting for the impact of unvested stock awards deemed to be participating securities, by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding, calculated excluding unvested stock awards, giving effect to common stock options and warrants, if they are not anti-dilutive. See Note 9, Earnings Per Share for EPS computations. Recent Accounting Pronouncements The following table provides a brief description of recent accounting pronouncements that could potentially impact the Company's unaudited consolidated financial statements: Accounting Standard Description Required Date of Adoption Anticipated Effect on the Financial Statements ASU 2017-05 Other IncomeâGains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets (Subtopic 610-20) Clarifying the Scope of Asset Derecognition Guidance and Accounting for Partial Sales of Nonfinancial Assets On February 22, 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-05, which clarifies the scope of the Boardâs recently established guidance on nonfinancial asset derecognition (ASC 610-20) as well as the accounting for partial sales of nonfinancial assets. The ASU conforms the derecognition guidance on nonfinancial assets with the model for transactions in the new revenue standard (ASC 606, as amended). The FASB issued the ASU in response to stakeholder feedback indicating that (1) the meaning of the term âin-substance nonfinancial assetâ is unclear because the Boardâs new revenue standard does not define it and (2) the scope of the guidance on nonfinancial assets is confusing and complex and does not specify how a partial sales transaction should be accounted for or which model entities should apply. January 1, 2018. The effective date of the new guidance aligns with the requirements in the new revenue standard. If the entity decides to early adopt the ASUâs guidance, it must also early adopt ASC 606-Revenue from Contracts with Customers (and vice versa). Not expected to have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements. ASU 2017-01 Business Combinations (Topic 805) Clarifying the Definition of a Business On January 5, 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01 to clarify the definition of a business in ASC 805. The FASB issued the ASU in response to stakeholder feedback that the definition of a business in ASC 805 is being applied too broadly. In addition, stakeholders said that analyzing transactions under the current definition is difficult and costly. Concerns about the definition of a business were among the primary issues raised in connection with the Financial Accounting Foundationâs post-implementation review report on FASB Statement No. 141(R), Business Combinations (codified in ASC 805). The amendments in the ASU are intended to make application of the guidance more consistent and cost-efficient. Real estate is less likely to be a "business" which will lead to more capitalization of transaction costs-vs-expensing. January 1, 2018 (early adoption permitted). Not expected to have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements. Accounting Standard Description Required Date of Adoption Anticipated Effect on the Financial Statements ASU 2016-15 Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments ("ASU 2016-15") (a consensus of the Emerging Issues Task Force) On August 26, 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, which amends ASC 230, Statement of Cash Flows ("ASC 230), to add or clarify guidance on the classification of certain cash receipts and payments in the statement of cash flows. ASC 230 lacks consistent principles for evaluating the classification of cash payments and receipts in the statement of cash flows. This has led to diversity in practice and, in certain circumstances, financial statement restatements. Consequently, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15 with the intent of reducing diversity in practice with respect to certain types of cash flows. January 1, 2018 (early adoption is permitted). Entities must apply the guidance retrospectively to all periods presented but may apply it prospectively if retrospective application would be impracticable. Not expected to have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements. ASU 2016-02 Leases (Topic 842) The amendments require lessees to recognize a right-of-use asset and a liability to make lease payments in the balance sheets for most leases. The accounting for lessors is largely unchanged. January 1, 2019 (early adoption permitted). Not expected to have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements. ASU 2016-01 Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10) Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities The amendments address certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial instruments. January 1, 2018 (early adoption permitted for a provision related to presentation of instrument-specific credit risk of liabilities accounted for under the fair value option). Not expected to have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements. |

A premium purchase price is generally due to the average coupon interest rates on these investments being higher than prevailing market rates; similarly, a discount purchase price is generally due to the average coupon interest rate on these investments being lower than prevailing market rates. (in thousands) March 31, 2017 December 31, 2016 Principal balance $ 10,729,666 $ 12,285,204 Unamortized premium 361,829 458,709 Unamortized discount (119 ) (1,179 ) Gross unrealized gains 43,909 46,906 Gross unrealized losses (74,434 ) (140,909 ) Fair value $ 11,060,851 $ 12,648,731 As of March 31, 2017 , the weighted-average coupon interest rate on the Company's Agency RMBS and U.S. Treasuries was 3.43% and 0.63% , respectively. As of December 31, 2016 , the weighted-average coupon interest rate on the Company's Agency RMBS and U.S. Treasuries was 3.37% and 0.63% , respectively. Actual maturities of Agency RMBS are generally shorter than their stated contractual maturities (which range up to 30 years), because they are affected by the contractual lives of the underlying mortgages, periodic payments and principal prepayments. Credit Risk The Company believes it has minimal exposure to credit losses on its investment securities at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 because it principally owns Debt Securities. Principal and interest payments on Agency RMBS are guaranteed by Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, while principal and interest payments on Ginnie Mae RMBS and U.S. Treasuries are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government. In September 2008, both Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae were placed in the conservatorship of the U.S. government. On August 5, 2011, Standard & Poor's ("S&P") downgraded the U.S. government's credit rating for the first time to AA+. Fitch Ratings Inc. ("Fitch") announced on October 15, 2013 that it had placed the U.S. government's credit rating on "negative watch". Fitch changed this negative watch to "stable" on March 21, 2014 and has maintained a stable outlook since that time. As of March 31, 2017, S&P has maintained its AA+ rating for the U.S. government, while Fitch and Moody's rated the U.S. government AAA and Aaa, respectively. Since Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are in U.S. government conservatorship, the implied credit ratings of Agency RMBS are similarly rated. While the conservatorship, ratings downgrade and ratings watch appear not to have had a significant impact on the fair value of the Agency RMBS or U.S. Treasuries in the Companyâs portfolio, these developments create a modest level of uncertainty regarding the credit risk of Debt Securities. |

Repurchase Agreements | REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS AND FHLBC ADVANCES The Company leverages its Debt Securities portfolio primarily through repo borrowings. Each of the Company's repo borrowings bears interest at a rate based on a spread above or below the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR"). While repo borrowings are the Company's principal source of borrowings, the Company may issue long-term debt ( i.e. , debt with an initial term greater than one year) to diversify credit sources and to manage interest rate and duration risk. Certain information with respect to the Companyâs repo borrowings outstanding at the balance sheet dates is summarized in the table below. (in thousands) March 31, 2017 December 31, 2016 Outstanding repurchase agreements $ 9,015,594 $ 9,691,544 Interest accrued thereon $ 13,602 $ 16,170 Weighted-average borrowing rate 0.98 % 0.89 % Weighted-average remaining maturity (in days) 65.8 53.3 Fair value of pledged collateral (1) $ 9,453,877 $ 10,198,641 __________________ (1) Collateral for repo borrowings consists of Agency RMBS and U.S. Treasuries. The following table presents the remaining contractual maturity of repo borrowings by collateral type as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 (in thousands): Remaining contractual maturity March 31, 2017 Up to 30 days 30-90 days Greater than 90 days Total Agency RMBS $ 3,334,315 $ 4,118,444 $ 1,562,835 $ 9,015,594 Total $ 3,334,315 $ 4,118,444 $ 1,562,835 $ 9,015,594 December 31, 2016 Agency RMBS $ 4,113,286 $ 3,694,937 $ 1,883,321 $ 9,691,544 Total $ 4,113,286 $ 3,694,937 $ 1,883,321 $ 9,691,544 At March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , our amount at risk with any individual counterparty related to our repo borrowings was less than 2.6% of stockholders' equity. The amount at risk is defined as the excess of the fair value of the securities, including accrued interest, and cash, pledged to secure the repurchase agreement, over the amount of the repurchase agreement liability adjusted for accrued interest. Prior to the issuance of the Final Rule on January 12, 2016, pursuant to the FHLBC terms and conditions of membership and applicable credit policies, CYS Insurance was able to obtain long-term advances, secured by eligible collateral, including, but not limited to, residential mortgage-backed securities. As a direct result of the Final Rule, all FHLBC Advances were required to be repaid on or before February 19, 2017. The Company repaid all of its remaining FHLBC Advances prior to September 30, 2016. |

As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , we had assets pledged to us as collateral under our repurchase agreements, derivative agreements and TBAs as summarized in the tables below (in thousands): March 31, 2017 Asset Type Repurchase Agreements Derivative Instruments Forward Settling Trades (TBAs) Total Agency RMBS - fair value $ 5,457 $ 2,605 $ â $ 8,062 U.S. Treasuries - fair value 4,110 18,617 â 22,727 Accrued interest on pledged securities 32 583 â 615 Cash â 99,699 2,121 101,820 Total $ 9,599 $ 121,504 $ 2,121 $ 133,224 December 31, 2016 Asset Type Repurchase Agreements Derivative Instruments Forward Settling Trades (TBAs) Total Agency RMBS - fair value $ â $ 3,016 $ 1,293 $ 4,309 U.S. Treasuries - fair value â 29,937 â 29,937 Accrued interest on pledged securities â 1,788 4 1,792 Cash â 90,779 724 91,503 Total $ â $ 125,520 $ 2,021 $ 127,541 Cash collateral received is not restricted as to use and is recognized in "Cash and cash equivalents" with a corresponding amount recognized in "Payable for cash received as collateral" in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The Company's collateral received in the form of securities from counterparties is disclosed in Note 4, Derivative Instruments . The Companyâs Master Repurchase Agreements ("MRAs"), Master Securities Forward Transaction Agreements ("MSFTA") and ISDA Master Agreements ("ISDAs", and together with MRAs, the âMaster Agreementsâ) generally provide (unless specified otherwise) that the Company may sell, pledge, rehypothecate, assign, invest, use, commingle, dispose of, or otherwise use in its business any posted collateral it holds, free from any claim or right of any nature whatsoever of the counterparty. MSFTAs govern the considerations and factors surrounding the settlement of certain forward settling transactions, TBAs and secured borrowing transactions by and between the Company and our counterparties. As of March 31, 2017 , $24.9 million of assets were pledged to the Company under the Master Agreements, of which $1.6 million were pledged by the Company to other counterparties at March 31, 2017 . As of December 31, 2016, $34.2 million of assets were pledged to the Company under the Master Agreements, of which $2.7 million were pledged by the Company to other counterparties at December 31, 2016. Since title to these assets remain with the counterparty under the Master Agreements, these assets are not reflected in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Offsetting Assets and Liabilities Certain of our repo borrowings and derivative transactions are governed by underlying agreements that generally provide for a right of offset under MNAs (or similar agreements), including in the event of default or in the event of bankruptcy of either party to the transactions. Under U.S. GAAP, if the Company has a contractual right of offset, the Company may offset the related asset and liability and report the net amount in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. However, the Company reports amounts subject to its MRAs and ISDAs in the consolidated balance sheets on a gross basis without regard to such rights of offset.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
Fair Value Measurements | FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS The Companyâs valuation techniques are based on observable and unobservable inputs. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes and ranks the level of market price observability used in measuring financial instruments. Market price observability is affected by a number of factors, including the type of financial instrument, the characteristics specific to the financial instrument, and the state of the marketplace, including the existence and transparency of transactions between market participants. Financial instruments with readily available quoted prices in active markets generally will have a higher degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of judgment used in measuring fair value. Financial instruments measured and reported at fair value are classified and disclosed based on the observability of inputs used in the determination, as follows: Level 1: Generally includes only unadjusted quoted prices that are available in active markets for identical financial instruments as of the reporting date. Level 2: Pricing inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar instruments, quoted prices in less active or inactive markets for identical or similar instruments where multiple price quotes can be obtained, and other observable inputs, such as interest rates and yield curves. Level 3: Pricing inputs are unobservable for the financial instruments and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the financial instrument. These inputs require significant judgment or estimation by management when determining fair value and generally represent anything that does not meet the criteria of Levels 1 and 2. The estimated value of each asset reported at fair value using Level 3 inputs is approved by an internal committee composed of members of senior management, including our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and other senior officers. Excluded from the tables below are short-term financial instruments carried in our unaudited consolidated financial statements at cost basis, which is deemed to approximate fair value, primarily due to the short duration of these instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, receivables, payables, and repo borrowings with initial terms of one year or less. Agency RMBS and U.S. Treasuries are generally valued based on prices provided by third-party pricing services, as derived from such services' pricing models. Inputs to the models may include, but are not limited to, reported trades, executable bid and ask prices, broker quotations, prices or yields of securities with similar characteristics, prepayment rates, benchmark curves or information pertaining to the issuer, as well as industry and economic events. The pricing services may also use a matrix approach, which considers information regarding securities with similar characteristics to determine the valuation for a security. All valuations we receive from third-party pricing services or broker quotes are non-binding. The pricing committee reviews all prices. To date, the Company has not adjusted any of the prices received from third-party pricing services or brokers. Our pricing review includes comparisons of similar market transactions, alternative third-party pricing services and broker quotes, or comparisons to a pricing model. To ensure proper classification within the fair value hierarchy in ASC 820, the Company reviews the third-party pricing services' methodologies periodically to understand whether observable or unobservable inputs are being used. We generally value swaps and caps using prices provided by broker quotations. Such broker quotations are based on the present value of fixed and projected floating rate cash flows over the term of the swap contract. Future cash flows are discounted to present value using swap rates provided by electronic data services or by brokers. "Other investments" is comprised of our investment in FHLBC stock and our net investment in a real estate asset at fair value, inclusive of the corresponding $3.8 million of mortgage debt at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 . Investment in real estate is considered to be a Level 3 asset to which we periodically apply valuation techniques and/or impairment analysis. The following tables provide a summary of the Companyâs assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 (in thousands): March 31, 2017 Fair Value Measurements Using Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Assets Agency RMBS $ â $ 11,011,163 $ â $ 11,011,163 U.S. Treasuries 49,688 â â 49,688 Derivative assets â 136,552 â 136,552 Other investments â â 8,028 8,028 Total $ 49,688 $ 11,147,715 $ 8,028 $ 11,205,431 Liabilities Derivative liabilities â â â â Total $ â $ â $ â $ â December 31, 2016 Fair Value Measurements Using Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Assets Agency RMBS $ â $ 12,599,045 $ â $ 12,599,045 U.S. Treasuries 49,686 â â 49,686 Derivative assets â 142,556 â 142,556 Other investments â â 8,028 8,028 Total $ 49,686 $ 12,741,601 $ 8,028 $ 12,799,315 Liabilities FHLBC Advances â â â â Derivative liabilities â 6,051 â 6,051 Total $ â $ 6,051 $ â $ 6,051 The table below presents a reconciliation of changes in Other investments classified as Level 3 and measured at fair value on a recurring basis in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 .

We also rely on available industry information about capitalization rates and expected trends in rents and occupancy in determining estimates of the fair value of real estate. The significant unobservable input used in the fair value measurement of our net investment in real estate is the capitalization rate, which the Company estimated to be between 4.0% and 4.9% at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , respectively. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Basis Of Presentation | Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") and the instructions to the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") Form 10-Q and Article 10, Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Companyâs audited financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2016, included in the 2016 Annual Report. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire fiscal year. The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all of its subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. The unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make a number of estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the unaudited consolidated financial statements and accompanying footnotes. Actual results could differ from these estimates and the differences may be material. |
Reclassification, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Reclassification |
Cash and Cash Equivalents, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents represent cash held in banks, cash on hand, and liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. We may have bank balances in excess of federally insured amounts; however, we deposit our cash and cash equivalents with high credit-quality institutions to minimize credit risk exposure. We have not experienced, and do not expect, any losses on our cash or cash equivalents. |
Investments in Securities | Investments in Securities The Company's investment securities are accounted for in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board's ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 320 -Investments-Debt and Equity Securities . These investments meet the requirements to be classified as available-for-sale under ASC 320. Therefore, our investment securities are recorded at fair market value on the consolidated balance sheets. The Company has chosen to make a fair value election pursuant to ASC 825 -Financial Instruments for its securities. Electing the fair value option requires the Company to record changes in the fair value of investments in the Consolidated Statement of Operations as a component of net unrealized gain (loss) on investments, which in managementâs view more appropriately reflects the results of operations for a particular reporting period as all securities activities will be recorded in a similar manner. The Company records its security purchase and sale transactions, including forward settling transactions, on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses on securities transactions are recorded on an identified cost basis. |
Agency RMBS | Agency RMBS The Company's investments in Agency RMBS consist of pass-through certificates backed by fixed-rate, monthly-reset adjustable-rate loans ("ARMs") and Hybrid ARMs, the principal and interest of which are guaranteed by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac or Ginnie Mae. Hybrid ARMs have interest rates that have an initial fixed period (typically three, five, seven or 10 years) and thereafter reset at regular intervals in a manner similar to ARMs. |
Forward Settling Transactions | Forward Settling Transactions The Company engages in forward settling transactions to purchase or sell certain securities. Agency RMBS may include forward contracts for Agency RMBS purchases or sales of specified pools on a to-be-announced basis ("TBA Securities") that meet the regular-way scope exception in ASC 815 -Derivatives and Hedging ("ASC 815") , and are recorded on a trade date basis to the extent it is probable that we will take or make timely physical delivery of the related securities. The Company maintains security positions such that sufficiently liquid assets will be available to make payment on the settlement date for securities purchased. The Agency RMBS purchased at the forward settlement date are typically priced at a discount to securities for settlement in the current month. Securities purchased on a forward settling basis are carried at fair value and begin earning interest on the settlement date. Gains or losses may occur on these transactions due to changes in market conditions or the failure of counterparties to perform under the contract. |
Investment Valuation | Investment and Derivative Valuation The Company has a pricing committee responsible for establishing valuation policies and procedures, and reviewing and approving valuations during monthly pricing meetings. The pricing committee is composed of individuals from the finance and investment teams and other members of senior management. See Note 7, Fair Value Measurements , for additional details related to the fair value of the Company's assets and liabilities. |
Derivative Instruments | Derivative Instruments Included in Derivative Instruments are interest rate swaps and interest rate caps and TBA Derivatives (defined below). The Company uses interest rate swaps and caps (a "swap" or "cap", respectively) to economically hedge a portion of its exposure to market risks, including interest rate and extension risk. The objective of our risk management strategy is to reduce fluctuations in stockholdersâ equity over a range of interest rate scenarios. In particular, we attempt to manage the risk of the cost of our variable rate liabilities increasing during a period of rising interest rates. During the term of a swap or cap, the Company makes and/or receives periodic payments and records unrealized gains or losses as a result of marking the swap or cap to fair value. When the Company terminates a swap or cap, we record a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from (or the cost of) closing the transaction and the Company's cost basis in the contract, if any. We report the periodic payments and amortization of premiums on cap contracts under swap and cap interest expense in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations . Swaps involve a risk that interest rates will move contrary to the Companyâs expectations, thereby increasing the Companyâs payment obligation. The Company's swaps and caps may be subject to a master netting arrangement ("MNA"). The Company is exposed to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the counterparty to the swap or cap, limited to the fair value of collateral posted in excess of the fair value of the contract in a net liability position and the shortage of the fair value of collateral posted for the contract in a net asset position. As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company did not anticipate non-performance by any counterparty. Should interest rates move contrary to the Company's expectations, the Company may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the interest rate swap or cap and may realize a loss. While the Company's derivative agreements generally permit netting or setting-off derivative assets and liabilities with the counterparty, the Company reports derivative assets and liabilities on a gross basis in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Derivatives are accounted for in accordance with ASC 815 which requires recognition of all derivatives as either assets or liabilities at fair value in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets with changes in fair value recognized in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations in "Net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on derivative instruments". Cash receipts and payments related to derivative instruments are classified in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows in accordance with U.S. GAAP in both the operating and investing activities sections. The Company enters into TBA dollar roll transactions whereby the Company is not contractually obligated to accept delivery on the settlement date ("TBA Derivatives"). TBA Derivatives are accounted for as a series of derivative transactions. The fair value of TBA Derivatives is based on similar methods used to value Agency RMBS with gains and losses recorded in Net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on derivative instruments in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations . TBA Derivative transactions involve moving the settlement of a TBA contract out to a later date by entering into an offsetting short position (referred to as a "pair off"), net settling the paired off positions for cash, and simultaneously purchasing a similar TBA contract for a later settlement date. The Company records such pair offs on a gross basis such that there is a sale of the original TBA Derivative and a subsequent purchase of a new TBA Derivative. None of the Company's derivatives have been designated as hedging instruments for accounting purposes. Effective January 1, 2016, the Company recognized all TBAs that do not qualify for the regular-way scope exception under ASC 815 as derivatives. |
Interest Income | Interest Income We record interest income and expense on an accrual basis. We accrue interest income based on the outstanding principal amount of the settled securities in our portfolio and their contractual terms. We amortize premiums and discounts using the effective interest method as prepayments occur, and this net amortization is either a reduction of or accretive to interest income from Agency RMBS in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company does not estimate prepayments when calculating the yield to maturity on Agency RMBS. |
Other investments | Other Investments CYS Insurance was a member of, and owns capital stock in, the FHLBC. As a condition of its membership in the FHLBC, CYS Insurance was required to maintain FHLBC stock, both for membership and for the level of advances from the FHLBC to CYS Insurance. The Company accounts for its investment in FHLBC stock as a cost method investment in "Other investments" in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets in accordance with ASC 325, Investments - Other . The Company periodically evaluates FHLBC stock for impairment in accordance with ASC 320 -Investments-Debt and Equity Securities . Also included in other investments is a net investment in real estate that is recorded at fair value, inclusive of $3.8 million of corresponding mortgage debt, with changes in estimated fair value recognized in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. |
Repurchase Agreements and FHLB Advances | Repurchase Agreements and FHLBC Advances Prior to the Final Rule effective date of February 19, 2016, which precluded the Company from securing new FHLBC Advances, we entered into FHLBC Advances that may have an initial maturity of more than one year that were collateralized by the Company's Agency RMBS and U.S. Treasuries (collectively, "Debt Securities"). The Company chose to make a fair value election pursuant to ASC 825 -Financial Instruments for FHLBC Advances with initial terms greater than one year and, therefore, this debt was recorded at fair market value in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The unpaid principal balance of FHLBC Advances with initial maturities less than one year generally approximated fair value due to the short-term nature of the instruments. We priced FHLBC Advances with an initial maturity greater than one year daily through a pricing service that uses a discounted cash flow model to value the debt, and we periodically validated the prices we received through this process. Changes in the fair market value were recorded in current period earnings in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations as a component of net unrealized gain (loss) on FHLBC Advances. Electing the fair value option permitted the Company to record changes in the fair value of FHLBC Advances along with that of our investments in the Consolidated Statements of Operations which, in managementâs view, more appropriately reflects the results of operations for a particular reporting period as all income producing assets and liabilities are recognized in a consistent manner. Borrowings under repurchase agreements ("repo borrowings") are, and FHLBC Advances were, collateralized by the Companyâs Debt Securities. The Companyâs repo borrowing counterparties are institutional dealers in fixed income securities and large financial institutions, and CYS Insurance's counterparty for FHLBC Advances was the FHLBC. Collateral pledged on repo borrowings is valued daily, and collateral that was pledged on FHLBC Advances was valued periodically, and our counterparties (including the FHLBC) may require posting of additional collateral when the fair value of pledged collateral declines. Repo borrowing counterparties have, and the FHLBC had, the right to sell or repledge collateral pledged under repo borrowings and FHLBC Advances. We account for our repo borrowings as short-term indebtedness under ASC 470 -Debt; accordingly, these short-term instruments are reflected in our financial statements at their amortized cost, which approximates fair value due to their short-term nature. |
