[1] The Corporation sells residential mortgage loans to GSEs in the normal course of business and receives RMBS in exchange which may then be sold into the market to third-party investors for cash proceeds.
[2] Substantially all of the first-lien residential and commercial mortgage loans securitized are initially classified as LHFS and accounted for under the fair value option. As such, gains are recognized on these LHFS prior to securitization. The Corporation recognized $198 million and $613 million of gains, net of hedges, on loans securitized during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013.
