In the table above:
CMOs represents collateralized mortgage obligations.
The outstanding principal amount is presented for the purpose of providing information about the size of the securitization entities and is not representative of the firm’s risk of loss.
The firm’s risk of loss from retained or purchased interests is limited to the carrying value of these interests.
Purchased interests represent senior and subordinated interests, purchased in connection with secondary market-making activities, in securitization entities in which the firm also holds retained interests.
Substantially all of the total outstanding principal amount and total retained interests relate to securitizations during 2019 and thereafter.
The fair value of retained interests was $6.37 billion as of December 2025 and $5.78 billion as of December 2024.

Schedule of Changes in Fair Value of Plan Assets
The table below presents information about the weighted average key economic assumptions used in measuring the fair value of mortgage-backed retained interests.
As of December

In the table above:
Amounts do not reflect the benefit of other financial instruments that are held to mitigate risks inherent in these retained interests.
Changes in fair value based on an adverse variation in assumptions generally cannot be extrapolated because the relationship of the change in assumptions to the change in fair value is not usually linear.
The impact of a change in a particular assumption is calculated independently of changes in any other assumption. In practice, simultaneous changes in assumptions might magnify or counteract the sensitivities disclosed above.
The constant prepayment rate is included only for positions for which it is a key assumption in the determination of fair value.
The discount rate for retained interests that relate to U.S. government agency-issued CMOs does not include any credit loss. Expected credit loss assumptions are reflected in the discount rate for the remainder of retained interests.
