-
an increase in net unrealized gains on multi-family loans and debt held in securitization trusts of
$6.8 million and$11.8 million for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2013 , respectively. The increase in unrealized gains on multi-family loans and debt held in securitization trusts was due to improved credit spreads as well as a significant increase in our investment in multi-family CMBS as compared to the corresponding prior year periods. As ofJune 30, 2013 , the net carrying value of our multi-family CMBS, which measures unrealized gains and losses through earnings, amounts to approximately$186.4 million as compared to$86.8 million atJune 30 , 2012. Credit spreads on these assets have continued to benefit in 2013 from improved credit market conditions and greater demand by investors for this product, resulting in increased valuations for our multi-family CMBS investments; and
-
an increase in unrealized gains on investment securities and related hedges of
$1.9 million and$5.2 million for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2013 , respectively, and an increase in realized loss on investment securities and related hedges of$8.0 million and$12.3 million for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2013 , respectively, which were primarily related to our Agency IO strategy. The increased rate volatility combined with illiquidity in the inverse IO market resulted in larger than expected losses in this strategy.
