In connection with securitization transactions, we typically retain servicing responsibilities and residual assets. In certain instances, we receive annual servicing fees ranging from 0.05% to 0.20% of the outstanding balance. We may periodically make servicer advances, which are subject to credit risk. Included in other assets in our condensed 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 the same discount rates we use for the fair value calculation of residual assets, which are determined based on a review of comparable market transactions. Depending on the nature of the transaction risks, the discount rate ranged from 4% to 8%.

 

As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, our managed assets totaled $3.5 billion and $3.2 billion, of which $2.1 billion and $1.8 billion were securitized assets held in unconsolidated securitization trusts. There were no securitization credit losses during the three or six months ended June 30, 2016 or 2015, and no material securitization delinquencies as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015. The securitized assets consist of financing receivables from contracts for the installation of energy efficiency and other technologies in facilities owned by, or operated for or by, the federal government where the ultimate obligor is the U.S. federal government. The contracts may have guarantees of energy savings from third party service providers, the majority of which are entities rated investment grade by an independent rating agency. Based on the nature of the receivables and experience to date, we do not currently expect to incur any credit losses on the receivables sold.
