RESALE AND REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS [Abstract] |
Securities Purchased under Resale Agreements and Sold under Repurchase Agreements | Securities Purchased under Resale Agreements and Sold under Repurchase Agreements Resale Agreements Gross resale agreements were $860.0 million and $1.11 billion as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The weighted-average yields were 2.54% and 2.80% for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Repurchase Agreements As of March 31, 2020, the collateral for the repurchase agreements comprised U.S. Treasury securities and U.S. government agency and U.S. government-sponsored enterprise mortgage-backed securities. Gross repurchase agreements were $450.0 million as of both March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019. The weighted-average interest rates were 4.10% and 5.01% for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. As of March 31, 2020, $150.0 million of repurchase agreements will mature in 2022 and $300.0 million will mature in 2023. Balance Sheet Offsetting The Company’s resale and repurchase agreements are transacted under legally enforceable master repurchase agreements that provide the Company, in the event of default by the counterparty, the right to liquidate securities held and to offset receivables and payables with the same counterparty. The Company nets resale and repurchase transactions with the same counterparty on the Consolidated Balance Sheet when it has a legally enforceable master netting agreement and the transactions are eligible for netting under ASC 210-20-45-11, Balance Sheet Offsetting: Repurchase and Reverse Repurchase Agreements. Collateral received includes securities that are not recognized on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Collateral pledged consists of securities that are not netted on the Consolidated Balance Sheet against the related collateralized liability. Collateral received or pledged in resale and repurchase agreements with other financial institutions may also be sold or re-pledged by the secured party, and is usually delivered to and held by the third-party trustees. The collateral amounts received/pledged are limited for presentation purposes to the related recognized asset/liability balance for each counterparty, and accordingly, do not include excess collateral received/pledged. The following tables present the resale and repurchase agreements included on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019:
