Credit Quality Information
Nonperforming loans were $29 million and $25 million as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. All other loans were considered to be performing.
Commercial Loans
Commercial Mortgage Loans
The Company reviews the credit worthiness of the borrower and the performance of the underlying properties in order to determine the risk of loss on commercial mortgage loans. Loan-to-value ratio is the primary credit quality indicator included in this review. Total commercial mortgage loans past due were nil as of both June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.
Based on this review, the commercial mortgage loans are assigned an internal risk rating, which management updates as necessary. Commercial mortgage loans which management has assigned its highest risk rating were less than 1% of total commercial mortgage loans as of both June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. Loans with the highest risk rating represent distressed loans which the
Company has identified as impaired or expects to become delinquent or enter into foreclosure within the next six months. As of June 30, 2020, commercial mortgage loan modifications due to the COVID-19 pandemic consisted of 93 loans with a total unpaid balance of $369 million. Modifications primarily consisted of short-term forbearance and interest only payments.
The table below presents the amortized cost basis of commercial mortgage loans as of June 30, 2020 by year of origination and loan-to-value ratio:

Loan-to-value ratio is based on income and expense data provided by borrowers at least annually and long-term capital rate assumptions based on property type.
In addition, the Company reviews the concentrations of credit risk by region and property type. Concentrations of credit risk of commercial mortgage loans by U.S. region were as follows:

The Company’s syndicated loan portfolio is diversified across industries and issuers. Total syndicated loans past due were nil and $1 million as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

Financial Advisor Loans
The Company offers loans to financial advisors for transitional cost assistance. Repayment of the loan is highly dependent on the retention of the financial advisor. In the event a financial advisor is no longer affiliated with the Company, any unpaid balances become immediately due. Accordingly, the primary risk factor for advisor loans is termination status. The allowance for credit losses related to loans to advisors that have terminated their relationship with the Company was $10 million as of both June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.
The table below presents the amortized cost basis of advisor loans as of June 30, 2020 by origination year and termination status:

Consumer Loans
Credit Card Receivables
The credit cards are co-branded with Ameriprise Financial, Inc. and issued to the Company’s customers by a third party. FICO scores and delinquency rates are the primary credit quality indicators for the credit card portfolio. Delinquency rates are measured as based on the number of days past due. Credit card receivables over 30 days past due were 1% and 2% as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

Policy Loans
Policy loans do not exceed the cash surrender value at origination. As there is minimal risk of loss related to policy loans, the Company does not record an allowance for credit losses.
Margin Loans
The Company monitors collateral supporting margin loans and requests additional collateral when necessary in order to mitigate the risk of loss. As of both June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the allowance for credit losses on margin loans was not material.
Deposit Receivable
The deposit receivable was $1.5 billion as of both June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. The deposit receivable is fully collateralized by the fair value of the assets held in a trust. Based on management’s evaluation of the nature of the underlying assets and the potential for changes in the collateral value, the Company did not have an allowance for credit losses for the deposit receivable as of both June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.
Troubled Debt Restructurings
The recorded investment in restructured loans was not material as of both June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. There were no loans accounted for as a troubled debt restructuring by the Company during both the three months and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019. The loan modifications granted during the three months ended June 30, 2020 are related to the COVID-19 pandemic and as such did not meet the definition of troubled debt restructurings. There are no commitments to lend additional funds to borrowers whose loans have been restructured.
