Transfers in and out related to corporate debt reflected changes in third party prices available for certain corporate loans. Transfers out for municipals and money markets reflected increased trading activity for certain ARS.  Transfers in for derivative contracts, net were primarily due to additional information related to certain total return swaps ("TRS").  Transfers out for derivative contracts, net related to additional market comparables on certain option contracts.  Transfers in and out related to long-term borrowings were primarily due to changes in the impact of unobservable inputs on the value of certain equity-linked structured notes.
