Collateralized Transactions

Repurchase Agreements

Securities sold under agreements to repurchase (“Repurchase Agreements”) are accounted for as collateralized financing transactions and are recorded at the contractual amount for which the securities will be repurchased or resold, including accrued interest. It is the Company’s policy to obtain possession of collateral with a market value equal to or in excess of the principal amount loaned under Reverse Repurchase Agreements. Collateral is valued daily and the Company may require counterparties to deposit additional collateral or return collateral pledged when appropriate.

   As of March 31, 2018, Cantor facilitated Repurchase Agreements between the Company and Cantor in the amount of $1.0 million for the purpose of financing fails. U.S. Treasury or other fixed income securities were provided to Cantor as collateral for the fair value of the Repurchase Agreement. As of December 31, 2017, the Company had no Repurchase Agreements.
