AGNC distributed about 11% and gained about 2% YTD in 2019, while the S&P 500 total return is about 30%.
I don't own AGNC or any mREIT. It's easy from my posting history to figure out the 18 stocks I own, blue chips including BRK, CTAS, ROK, SWKS and index funds including SPY and QQQ. I haven't done the final math but it looks like my individual holdings slightly beat the broad market's 30% gain.
So, for 2019, you have 30% (S&P 500 with divs included) versus about 13% for AGNC. I believe those numbers are reasonably correct, right?
