Borrowings under Reverse Repurchase Agreements
Borrowings under Reverse Repurchase Agreements
The Company enters into reverse repurchase agreements. A reverse repurchase agreement involves the sale of an asset to a counterparty together with a simultaneous agreement to repurchase the transferred asset or similar asset from such counterparty at a future date. The Company accounts for its reverse repurchase agreements as collateralized borrowings, with the transferred assets effectively serving as collateral for the related borrowing. The Company's reverse repurchase agreements typically range in term from 30 to 180 days. The principal economic terms of each reverse repurchase agreement—such as loan amount, interest rate, and maturity date—are typically negotiated on a transaction-by-transaction basis. Other terms and conditions, such as relating to events of default, are typically governed under the Company's master repurchase agreements, or "MRAs." Absent an event of default, the Company maintains beneficial ownership of the transferred securities during the term of the reverse repurchase agreement and receives the related principal and interest payments. Interest rates on these borrowings are generally fixed based on prevailing rates corresponding to the terms of the borrowings, and interest is paid at the termination of the reverse repurchase agreement at which time the Company may enter into a new reverse repurchase agreement at prevailing market rates with the same counterparty, repay that counterparty and possibly negotiate financing terms with a different counterparty, or choose to no longer finance the related asset. In response to a decline in the fair value of the transferred securities, whether as a result of changes in market conditions, security paydowns, or other factors, reverse repurchase agreement counterparties will typically make a margin call, whereby the Company will be required to post additional securities and/or cash as collateral with the counterparty in order to re-establish the agreed-upon collateralization requirements. The contractual amount (loan amount) of the Company's reverse repurchase agreements approximates their fair value, as the debt is short-term in nature.
At any given time, the Company seeks to have its outstanding borrowings under reverse repurchase agreements with several different counterparties in order to reduce the exposure to any single counterparty. The Company had outstanding borrowings under reverse repurchase agreements with sixteen counterparties and fourteen counterparties, as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.
At June 30, 2014, approximately 39% of open reverse repurchase agreements, were with two counterparties. At December 31, 2013, approximately 39% of open reverse repurchase agreements, were with two counterparties. As of June 30, 2014 remaining days to maturity on the Company's open reverse repurchase agreements ranged from 1 to 180 days and from 2 to 180 as of December 31, 2013. Interest rates on the Company's open reverse repurchase agreements ranged from 0.26% to 2.25% as of June 30, 2014 and from 0.32% to 2.27% as of December 31, 2013.

Reverse repurchase agreements involving underlying investments that we sold prior to period end, for settlement following period end, are shown using their original maturity dates even though such reverse repurchase agreements may be expected to be terminated early upon settlement of the sale of the underlying investment. Not included above are any reverse repurchase agreements that we may have entered into prior to period end for which delivery of the borrowed funds is not scheduled until after period end.
As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the fair value of investments transferred as collateral under outstanding borrowings under repurchase agreements was $1.38 billion and $1.46 billion, respectively.
