The allowance for losses is comprised of a general allowance for trade receivables and specific allowances for finance leases. As of December 31, 2015, the general allowance for trade receivables was $6.3 million, or 9.1% of rent and other receivables, compared to $4.5 million, or 5.2% of rent and other receivables, at December 31, 2014. At December 31, 2015, specific allowances for finance leases were $4.0 million compared to $1.2 million at December 2014. The specific allowance increase in 2015 was related to a loss reserve recorded in connection with one investment at Portfolio Management.
