Residential Mortgage Investment Portfolio
Previously, the CapitalSource reporting segment that included the high-quality residential mortgage assets the Company invested in, beginning in 2006, to facilitate compliance with REIT rules. CapitalSource revoked REIT status in 2009 and a portion of the residential mortgage investment portfolio (RMIP) was sold in early 2009. Beginning in 2009, the Residential Mortgage Investment Portfolio will no longer be reported as a separate segment and has been merged into the Commercial Banking segment.
