Investment Repurchase Agreement Disclosure [Abstract] |
Repurchase Agreement | Repurchase Agreement During 2011, the Company funded a $47,439 investment structured in the form of a repurchase facility secured by a Class A-2 CDO bond. The $47,439 of borrowings provided under the facility financed the purchase of a CDO bond with an aggregate face amount of $68,726, representing an advance rate of 69% on the CDO bond’s face amount. The Class A-2 CDO bond, originally rated AAA/Aaa, is currently rated A-/Baa1. The CDO is comprised of 58 senior and subordinate commercial real estate debt positions and commercial real estate securities with the majority of the debt and securities underlying the CDO being first mortgages. The repurchase facility had an interest of 13.0% (10.0% current pay with a 3.0% accrual) on amounts outstanding and had an initial term of 18 months with three six-month extensions options available to the borrower. Any principal repayments that occured prior to the 21st month were subject to a make-whole provision at the full 13.0% interest rate. In January 2013, the repurchase agreement was repaid in full. Upon the repayment, the Company realized a 17% IRR on its investment.
