At June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, our weighted average servicing fee was 35.0 basis points and 35.6 basis points, respectively. At June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we held total escrow balances (including unfunded collateralized loan obligation ("CLO") hold backs) of approximately $1.25 billion and $1.35 billion, respectively, of which approximately $1.24 billion and $1.34 billion, respectively, is not included in our consolidated balance sheets. These escrows are maintained in separate accounts at several federally insured depository institutions, which may exceed FDIC insured limits. We earn interest income on the total escrow deposits, which is generally based on a market rate of interest negotiated with the financial institutions that hold the escrow deposits. Interest earned on total escrows, net of interest paid to the borrower, is included as a component of servicing revenue, net in the consolidated statements of operations as noted in the following table.
