Collateralized Borrowings in Securitization Trusts, at Fair Value
The Company purchases subordinated debt and excess servicing rights from securitization trusts sponsored by either third parties or the Company’s subsidiaries. The debt associated with the underlying residential mortgage loans held at the trusts, which are consolidated on the Company’s 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 December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the collateralized borrowings in securitization trusts had a carrying value of $1.2 billion and $639.7 million with a weighted average interest rate of 3.6% and 2.8%, respectively. The stated maturity dates for all collateralized borrowings were more than five years from both December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013.
