Fair Value Measurements
NOTE 16 – Fair Value Measurements

Under applicable accounting guidance, fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The Corporation determines the fair values of its financial instruments based on the fair value hierarchy established under applicable accounting guidance which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. There are three levels of inputs used to measure fair value. For more information regarding the fair value hierarchy and how the Corporation measures fair value, see Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Principles and Note 22 – Fair Value Measurements to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Corporation's 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Corporation accounts for certain corporate loans and loan commitments, LHFS, structured reverse repurchase agreements, long-term deposits and long-term debt under the fair value option. For more information, see Note 17 – Fair Value Option.

Recurring Fair Value

Assets and liabilities carried at fair value on a recurring basis at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, including financial instruments which the Corporation accounts for under the fair value option, are summarized in the following tables.

(5) 
Other assets is primarily comprised of AFS marketable equity securities.

During the three months ended September 30, 2011, the transfers into Level 3 included $665 million of trading account assets and $679 million of long-term debt. Transfers into Level 3 for trading account assets were driven by decreased price observability for certain corporate loans and bonds. Transfers into Level 3 for long-term debt were the result of an increase in unobservable inputs used in the pricing of certain structured liabilities.

During the three months ended September 30, 2011, the transfers out of Level 3 included $769 million of AFS debt securities, $4.3 billion of loans and leases, $761 million of accrued expenses and other liabilities and $702 million of long-term debt. Transfers out of Level 3 for AFS debt securities were driven by increased use of observable inputs in pricing certain municipal securities. Transfers out of Level 3 for loans and leases and accrued expenses and other liabilities were driven by increased observable inputs, primarily liquid comparables, for certain corporate loans and unfunded loan commitments (included in other liabilities) accounted for under the fair value option. Transfers out of Level 3 for long-term debt were due to increased price observability for inputs used in the pricing of certain structured liabilities.

Assets (liabilities). For assets, increase / (decrease) to Level 3 and for liabilities, (increase) / decrease to Level 3.
(2) 
Net derivatives at September 30, 2011 include derivative assets of $16.0 billion and derivative liabilities of $9.8 billion.
(3) 
Amounts represent items that are accounted for under the fair value option.
(4) 
Issuances represent loan originations and mortgage servicing rights retained following securitizations or whole loan sales.
(5) 
Other assets is primarily comprised of AFS marketable equity securities.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the transfers into Level 3 included $1.6 billion of trading account assets and $1.7 billion of long-term debt accounted for under the fair value option. Transfers into Level 3 for trading account assets were primarily certain CLOs, corporate loans and bonds that were transferred into Level 3 due to a lack of price transparency. Transfers into Level 3 for long-term debt were the result of an increase in unobservable inputs used in the pricing of certain structured liabilities.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the transfers out of Level 3 included $1.2 billion of trading account assets, $4.3 billion of loans and leases, $1.6 billion of other assets and $1.2 billion of long-term debt. Transfers out of Level 3 for trading account assets were primarily driven by increased price observability on certain RMBS, commercial mortgage-backed securities and consumer ABS portfolios. Transfers out of Level 3 for loans and leases were driven by increased observable inputs, primarily liquid comparables, for certain corporate loans accounted for under the fair value option. Transfers out of Level 3 for other assets were the result of an initial public offering of an equity investment. Transfers out of Level 3 for long-term debt were due to increased price observability for inputs used in the pricing of certain structured liabilities.

Net derivatives at September 30, 2010 include derivative assets of $20.4 billion and derivative liabilities of $10.9 billion.
(3) 
Amounts represent instruments that are accounted for under the fair value option.
(4) 
Other assets is primarily comprised of AFS marketable equity securities.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the transfers into Level 3 included $3.0 billion of trading account assets, $3.4 billion of AFS debt securities, $1.1 billion of net derivative contracts and $1.4 billion of long-term debt. Transfers into Level 3 for trading account assets were driven by reduced price transparency as a result of lower levels of trading activity for certain municipal auction rate securities and corporate debt securities as well as a change in valuation methodology for certain ABS to a discounted cash flow model. Transfers into Level 3 for AFS debt securities were due to an increase in the number of non-agency RMBS and other taxable securities priced using a discounted cash flow model. Transfers into Level 3 for net derivative contracts were primarily related to a lack of price observability for certain credit default and total return swaps. Transfers into Level 3 for long-term debt were the result of an increase in unobservable inputs used in the pricing of certain structured liabilities.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the transfers out of Level 3 were $3.1 billion of trading account assets and $1.4 billion of long-term debt. Transfers out of Level 3 for trading account assets were driven by increased price verification of certain mortgage-backed securities, corporate debt and non-U.S. government and agency securities and increased price observability of index floaters based on the BMA curve held in corporate securities, trading loans and other. Transfers out of Level 3 for long-term debt were due to increased price observability for inputs used in the pricing of certain structured liabilities.


The following tables summarize gains (losses) due to changes in fair value, including both realized and unrealized gains (losses), recorded in earnings for Level 3 assets and liabilities during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010. These amounts include gains (losses) on loans, LHFS, loan commitments and structured liabilities that are accounted for under the fair value option.

Certain assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis and are not included in the previous tables in this Note. These assets and liabilities primarily include LHFS, unfunded loan commitments held-for-sale and foreclosed properties. The amounts below represent only balances measured at fair value during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, and still held as of the reporting date.
