The previous table does not include:• certain venture capital investments made by some of the Company’sprivate equity subsidiaries, as the Company accounts for these investmentsin accordance with the Investment Company Audit Guide;• certain limited partnerships that are investment funds that qualify forthe deferral from the requirements of SFAS 167 where the Company isthe general partner and the limited partners have the right to replace thegeneral partner or liquidate the funds;• certain investment funds for which the Company provides investmentmanagement services and personal estate trusts for which the Companyprovides administrative, trustee and/or investment management services;• VIEs structured by third parties where the Company holds securities ininventory. These investments are made on arm’s-length terms;• certain positions in mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities heldby the Company, which are classified as Trading account assets orInvestments, where the Company has no other involvement with therelated securitization entity. For more information on these positions, seeNotes 14 and 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements;• certain representations and warranties exposures in Securities andBanking mortgage-backed and asset-backed securitizations, where theCompany has no variable interest or continuing involvement as servicer.The outstanding balance of the loans securitized was approximately$23 billion at December 31, 2010, related to transactions sponsored bySecurities and Banking during the period 2005 to 2008; and• certain representations and warranties exposures in Consumer mortgagesecuritizations, where the original mortgage loan balances are nolonger outstanding.Prior to January 1, 2010, the table did not include:• assets transferred to a VIE where the transfer did not qualify as a sale andwhere the Company did not have any other involvement that is deemedto be a variable interest with the VIE. These transfers are accounted for assecured borrowings by the Company.The asset balances for consolidated VIEs represent the carrying amountsof the assets consolidated by the Company. The carrying amount mayrepresent the amortized cost or the current fair value of the assets dependingon the legal form of the asset (e.g., security or loan) and the Company’sstandard accounting policies for the asset type and line of business.The asset balances for unconsolidated VIEs where the Company hassignificant involvement represent the most current information availableto the Company. In most cases, the asset balances represent an amortizedcost basis without regard to impairments in fair value, unless fair valueinformation is readily available to the Company. For VIEs that obtainasset exposures synthetically through derivative instruments (for example,synthetic CDOs), the table includes the full original notional amount of thederivative as an asset.The maximum funded exposure represents the balance sheet carryingamount of the Company’s investment in the VIE. It reflects the initialamount of cash invested in the VIE plus any accrued interest and is adjustedfor any impairments in value recognized in earnings and any cash principalpayments received. The maximum exposure of unfunded positions representsthe remaining undrawn committed amount, including liquidity and creditfacilities provided by the Company, or the notional amount of a derivativeinstrument considered to be a variable interest, adjusted for any declinesin fair value recognized in earnings. In certain transactions, the Companyhas entered into derivative instruments or other arrangements that are notconsidered variable interests in the VIE (e.g., interest rate swaps, crosscurrencyswaps, or where the Company is the purchaser of credit protectionunder a credit default swap or total return swap where the Company paysthe total return on certain assets to the SPE). Receivables under sucharrangements are not included in the maximum exposure amounts.234
