Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]  
Derivatives Derivatives
The Company uses derivative financial instruments to minimize the risks and/or costs associated with the Company’s investments and financing transactions. These derivatives may or may not qualify as net investment, cash flow, or fair value hedges under the hedge accounting requirements of Accounting Standards Codification Topic 815 - “Derivatives and Hedging”. Derivatives not designated as hedges 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 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 investments in real estate debt. The Company uses derivative financial instruments, which includes interest rate swaps and caps, 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. The Company has the right of offset for certain derivatives, and presents them net on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
