In connection with securitization transactions, we typically retain servicing responsibilities and residual assets. We generally receive annual servicing fees typically up to 0.20% of the outstanding balance. We may periodically make servicer advances, which are subject to credit risk. Included in securitization assets in our consolidated balance sheets are our servicing assets at amortized cost, our residual assets at fair value, and our servicing advances at cost, if any. Our residual assets are subordinate to investors’ interests, and their values are subject to credit, prepayment and interest rate risks on the transferred
financial assets. The investors and the securitization trusts have no recourse to our other assets for failure of debtors to pay when due. In computing gains and losses on securitizations, we use discount rates based on a review of comparable market transactions including Level 3 unobservable inputs which consist of base interest rates and spreads over base rates. Depending on the nature of the transaction risks, the discount rate ranged from 2% to 8%, and contemplates our estimate of prepayments.
As of both June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, our managed assets totaled $6.2 billion of which $4.1 billion were securitized assets held in unconsolidated securitization trusts. There were no securitization credit losses in the six months ended June 30, 2020 or 2019. As of June 30, 2020, there were no material payments from debtors to the securitization trusts that were greater than 90 days past due. The securitized assets generally consist of receivables from contracts for the installation of energy efficiency and other technologies in facilities owned by, or operated for or by, federal, state or local government entities where the ultimate obligor is a governmental entity. The contracts may have guarantees of energy savings from third-party service providers, which typically are entities rated investment grade by an independent rating agency. In addition, we may securitize assets where the underlying cash flows are related to lease payments for the use of land. Based on the nature of the assets and experience-to-date, we do not currently expect to incur any credit losses of our residual interests related to the assets sold.
