Derivatives

 

The Company uses derivative financial instruments to minimize the risks and/or costs associated with the Company’s investments and financing transactions. The Company has not designated any of its derivative financial instruments as hedges as defined under GAAP. Although not designated as hedging instruments under GAAP, the Company’s derivatives are not speculative and are used to manage the Company’s exposure to interest rate movements, fluctuations in foreign exchange rates, and other identified risks.

 

The Company’s derivative instruments are subject to market risk associated with changes in interest rates and foreign exchange rates. Although these instruments are not designated as accounting hedges, they are economically intended to reduce variability in cash flows.

 

The use of derivative financial instruments involves certain risks, including the risk that the counterparties to these contractual arrangements do not perform as agreed. To mitigate this risk, the Company enters into derivative financial instruments with counterparties it believes to have appropriate credit ratings and that are major financial institutions with which the Company and its affiliates may also have other financial relationships.

 

Interest Rate Contracts

 

Certain of the Company’s transactions expose the Company to interest rate risks, which include exposure to variable interest rates on certain loans secured by the Company’s real estate in addition to its secured financings of investment in real estate debt. The Company uses derivative financial instruments, which includes interest rate caps and swaps, and may also include options, floors, and other interest rate derivative contracts, to limit the Company’s exposure to the future variability of interest rates.
