MFA Financial announces CEO succession plan for 2027

MFA Financial said its current chief executive, Craig L. Knutson, will retire on June 30, 2027. President and chief investment officer Bryan Wulfsohn will assume the role of president and CEO on July 1, 2027. The company also disclosed that Andrew P. Kail will become senior vice president and CIO on January 1, 2027, and that Wulfsohn will join the board at that time.

The leadership change could influence MFA's strategic direction and operational execution, which investors will monitor for any impact on performance. The transition also provides continuity, as the new CEO has been with the firm for many years.
