Securities sold under agreements to repurchase totaled $0.9 million at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017. The repurchase agreements were collateralized by investment securities, of which 51% were U.S. GSE residential collateralized mortgage obligations and 49% were U.S. GSE residential mortgage-backed securities with a carrying amount of $1.7 million at March 31, 2018, and 52% were U.S. GSE residential collateralized mortgage obligations and 48% were U.S. GSE residential mortgage-backed securities with a carrying amount of $1.8 million at December 31, 2017.

 

Securities sold under agreements to repurchase are financing arrangements with $0.9 million maturing during the second quarter of 2018. At maturity, the securities underlying the agreements are returned to the Company. The primary risk associated with these secured borrowings is the requirement to pledge a market value based balance of collateral in excess of the borrowed amount. The excess collateral pledged represents an unsecured exposure to the lending counterparty. As the market value of the collateral changes, both through changes in discount rates and spreads as well as related cash flows, additional collateral may need to be pledged. In accordance with the Company’s policies, eligible counterparties are defined and monitored to minimize exposure.
