Mortgage Loans Held-for-Investment in Securitization Trusts, at Fair Value
During the year ended December 31, 2013, we purchased subordinated debt and excess servicing rights from two different securitization trusts, one sponsored by a third party and one sponsored by a subsidiary of the Company. The underlying residential mortgage loans held by the trusts, which are consolidated on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet, are classified as mortgage loans held-for-investment in securitization trusts and carried at fair value as a result of a fair value option election. See Note 3 - Variable Interest Entities for additional information regarding consolidation of the securitization trusts. The following table presents the carrying value of the Company’s mortgage loans held-for-investment in securitization trusts as of December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012:
