CLO securities.  The collateralized loan obligation ("CLO") securities represent the Company’s retained equity interests in seven and five CLO issuers that it directly and/or through its joint venture has structured and managed at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.  The fair value of these retained interests is impacted by the fair value of the investments held by the respective CLO issuers, which are sensitive to interest rate fluctuations and credit quality determinations. The Company is required to maintain a minimum investment of $2.0 million (par value) in the subordinated notes of one of the CLO issuers, Apidos CLO II.
Equity securities.  The Company also holds 18,972 shares of The Bancorp, Inc. ("TBBK") (NASDAQ: TBBK) common stock.  These investments are pledged as collateral for the Company’s secured corporate credit facilities. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company purchased 10,000 shares of Resource Real Estate Diversified Income Fund, a new publicly traded investment entity that it sponsored and manages ("RREDX") (NASDAQ: RREDX), for $100,000.
