Borrowings
The Company's borrowings consist of reverse repurchase agreements and other secured borrowings. As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company's total borrowings were $1.207 billion and $1.058 billion, respectively.
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, although the Company also has reverse repurchase agreements that provide for longer or shorter terms. 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 those relating to events of default, are typically governed under the Company's master repurchase agreements. 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 for most reverse repurchase agreements, interest is generally 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. Some reverse repurchase agreements provide for periodic payments of interest, such as monthly payments. 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. In the event of increases in fair value of the transferred securities, the Company can generally require the counterparty to post collateral with it in the form of cash or securities. The Company is generally permitted to sell or re-pledge any securities posted by the counterparty as collateral; however, upon termination of the reverse repurchase agreement, or other circumstance in which the counterparty is no longer required to post such margin, the Company must return to the counterparty the same security that had been posted. 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 nineteen counterparties as of June 30, 2017 and twenty-one counterparties as of December 31, 2016.
At June 30, 2017, approximately 15% of open reverse repurchase agreements were with one counterparty. As of December 31, 2016, there was no counterparty that held 15% or more of the Company's outstanding reverse repurchase agreements. As of June 30, 2017 remaining days to maturity on the Company's open reverse repurchase agreements ranged from 3 days to 306 days and from 3 days to 320 days as of December 31, 2016. Interest rates on the Company's open reverse repurchase agreements ranged from (2.75)% to 4.47% as of June 30, 2017 and from 0.60% to 3.76% as of December 31, 2016.

Reverse repurchase agreements involving underlying investments that the Company 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.
As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the fair value of investments transferred as collateral under outstanding borrowings under reverse repurchase agreements was $1.27 billion and $1.15 billion, respectively. Collateral transferred under outstanding borrowings as of June 30, 2017 include investments in the amount of $14.5 million that were sold prior to period end but for which such sale had not yet settled. In addition the Company posted net cash collateral of $17.5 million and additional securities with a fair value of $1.7 million as of June 30, 2017 to its counterparties. Collateral transferred under outstanding borrowings as of December 31, 2016 include investments in the amount of $33.4 million that were sold prior to year end but for which such sale had not yet settled. In addition, the Company posted net cash collateral of $39.2 million and additional securities with a fair value of $2.7 million as of December 31, 2016 as a result of margin calls from various counterparties.
As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 there were no counterparties for which the amount at risk relating to our repurchase agreements was greater than 10% of total equity.
Other Secured Borrowings
The Company has entered into securitization transactions to finance certain of its commercial mortgage loans and REO. These securitization transactions are accounted for as collateralized borrowings. As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company had outstanding borrowings in the amount of $46.0 million and $24.1 million, respectively, in connection with one such securitization which is included under the caption Other secured borrowings on the Company's Consolidated Statement of Assets, Liabilities, and Equity. As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the fair value of commercial mortgage loans and REO collateralizing this borrowing was $77.2 million and $42.0 million, respectively. The facility accrues interest on a floating rate basis, and has a maturity in May 2019. The borrowing had an interest rate of 4.55% as of June 30, 2017. See Note 7, Related Party Transactions, for further information on the Company's secured borrowings.
In March 2017, the Company entered a non-recourse secured borrowing facility to finance a portfolio of unsecured loans. The facility includes a reinvestment period ending in November 2017 (or earlier following an early amortization event), whereby the Company can vary its borrowings based on the size of its portfolio, subject to certain maximum limits. Following the reinvestment period, the facility will begin to amortize based on the collections from the underlying unsecured loans. The facility accrues interest on a floating rate basis, and has an expected maturity in November 2018. As of June 30, 2017, the Company had outstanding borrowings under this facility in the amount of $42.1 million which is included under the caption Other secured borrowings, on the Company's Consolidated Statement of Assets, Liabilities, and Equity and the effective interest rate on this facility, inclusive of related deferred financing costs, was 4.88% as of June 30, 2017.
