Compensation Actually Paid vs. Total Shareholder Return
The following graph illustrates the relationship between compensation actually paid to our NEOs and our TSR as well as TSR for the FTSE NAREIT Mortgage REIT Index on a cumulative basis assuming investment of $100 on December 31, 2019:

2202
     
Compensation Actually Paid vs. Net Income
The following graph compares our net income to compensation actually paid to our NEOs on an annual basis:

2313

The Company accounts for its investments purchased prior to January 1, 2021 as available-for-sale with changes in fair value recorded in "other comprehensive income (loss)." Effective January 1, 2021, the
Company elected the fair value option for its investments purchased on or after that date with changes in fair value reported in "net income." As a result, net income for the years presented above in the Pay versus Performance Table and in the graph above does not include other comprehensive income (loss) of $(93.5) million, $(73.5) million, $(188.1) million, and $22.8 million, respectively.

[2] Total Shareholder Return for the Company and the Peer Group assume $100 invested at December 31, 2019.
[3] The Peer Group Total Shareholder Return is calculated based on the FTSE NAREIT Mortgage REIT Index.
[4] Total economic return (TER) percentage is the sum of dividends declared per common share during the year plus the change in book value per common share for the year divided by the beginning book value per common share. While the Company uses numerous financial and non-financial performance measures for the purpose of evaluating performance, the Company has determined that TER is the financial measure that, in the Company’s assessment, represents the most important performance measure (that is not otherwise required to be disclosed in the table) used by the Company to link compensation actually paid to the Company’s NEOs, for the most recently completed fiscal year, to Company performance. TER is a performance measure for our executives' PSU awards.
