Collateralized Borrowings in Securitization Trusts, at Fair Value
During 2013, the Company purchased subordinated debt and excess servicing rights from two securitization trusts, one sponsored by a third party and one sponsored by one of the Company’s subsidiaries. The debt associated with the underlying residential mortgage loans held by the trusts, which are consolidated on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet, is classified as collateralized borrowings 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. As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, collateralized borrowings in securitization trusts had a carrying value of $561.9 million and $639.7 million with a weighted average interest rate of 2.8% as of both period ends. The stated maturity dates for all collateralized borrowings were more than five years from both June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013.
