Investments, Debt and Equity Securities [Abstract] |
Securities, at Fair Value | Securities, at Fair Value MSR-Related Assets Term Notes Backed by MSR-Related Collateral At both March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had $153.8 million of term notes issued by SPVs that have acquired rights to receive cash flows representing the servicing fees and/or excess servicing spread associated with certain MSRs. Payment of principal and interest on these term notes is considered to be largely dependent on cash flows generated by the underlying MSRs, as this impacts the cash flows available to the SPV that issued the term notes. At March 31, 2022, these term notes had an amortized cost of $123.3 million, gross unrealized gains of approximately $30.4 million, a weighted average yield of 10.22% and a weighted average term to maturity of 1.4 years. At December 31, 2021, the term notes had an amortized cost of $121.4 million, gross unrealized gains of approximately $32.4 million, a weighted average yield of 10.3% and a weighted average term to maturity of 1.7 years. CRT Securities CRT securities are debt obligations issued by or sponsored by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The coupon payments on CRT securities are paid by the issuer and the principal payments received are dependent on the performance of loans in either a reference pool or an actual pool of loans. As an investor in a CRT security, the Company may incur a principal loss if the performance of the actual or reference pool loans results in either an actual or calculated loss that exceeds the credit enhancement of the security owned by the Company. The Company assesses the credit risk associated with its investments in CRT securities by assessing the current and expected future performance of the associated loan pool. The Company pledges a portion of its CRT securities as collateral against its borrowings under repurchase agreements (see Note 6). The following tables present certain information about the Company’s residential mortgage securities at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021: March 31, 2022
