(1)    The definition of maximum exposure to loss is included in the text that follows this table.
(2)    Included on Citigroup’s March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 Consolidated Balance Sheet.
(3)    A significant unconsolidated VIE is an entity in which the Company has any variable interest or continuing involvement considered to be significant, regardless of the likelihood of loss.
(4)    Citigroup mortgage securitizations also include agency and non-agency (private label) re-securitization activities. These SPEs are not consolidated. See “Re-securitizations” below for further discussion.
(5)     Included within this line are loans to third-party-sponsored private equity funds, which represent $138.4 billion and $138.7 billion in unconsolidated VIE assets and $1.7 billion and $1.7 billion in maximum exposure to loss as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
The following tables present assets and liabilities related to consolidated VIEs, which are included on Citi’s Consolidated Balance Sheet. These assets can only be used to settle obligations of consolidated VIEs. In addition, the assets and liabilities of consolidated VIEs include only third-party balances and exclude intercompany balances that eliminate in consolidation. The liabilities also exclude amounts where creditors or beneficial interest holders have recourse to the general credit of Citigroup.
