The board of directors said the quarterly dividend is payable on July 29 to the holders of record at the close of business on July 8. The real estate investment trust has made quarterly payouts to investors since 1998.

The regular dividend payment equates to a $0.60-per-share annual dividend, yielding 10.7% based on the closing price of Anworth Mortgage Asset's stock on June 28.
