As of March 31, 2020, **100%** of loans were floating rate, creating a net positive correlation to rising interest rates[357](index=357&type=chunk) - Liquidity risk is a principal concern, associated with financing longer-maturity investments with shorter-term borrowings like repurchase agreements.

Risk Factors](index=76&type=section&id=Item%201A.%20Risk%20Factors) The primary risk factors discussed are centered on the significant negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, with key risks including market and economic disruptions leading to asset value declines, margin calls, and forced asset sales at a loss (**$203.4 million** in aggregate losses from CRE debt securities), as the pandemic is expected to adversely affect borrowers' financial health, increasing delinquencies and defaults, particularly in concentrated sectors like hotels and retail, and the company's liquidity has been strained, impacting its ability to make distributions and potentially causing defaults on financial covenants, which did occur post-quarter end but were subsequently cured and waived - The COVID-19 pandemic has caused significant market disruptions, leading to volatility and illiquidity which negatively impacted the company's CRE debt securities portfolio, resulting in material margin calls and forced sales[386](index=386&type=chunk)[387](index=387&type=chunk) - The company sold its entire CRE debt securities portfolio, recording aggregate losses of **$203.4 million**, to mitigate the impact of market volatility and meet liquidity needs[387](index=387&type=chunk)[388](index=388&type=chunk) - The pandemic is expected to adversely impact borrowers' financial conditions, leading to an anticipated increase in delinquencies and defaults. The company has received requests for loan modifications from several borrowers[391](index=391&type=chunk) - Negative impacts from COVID-19 may cause defaults on financial covenants.
