| Fair Value Option | Note 10. Fair Value Option Other Financial Assets and Liabilities at Fair Value In addition to trading assets and liabilities, and certain investments and loans, the firm accounts for certain of its other financial assets and liabilities at fair value, substantially all under the fair value option. The primary reasons for electing the fair value option are to:
Hybrid financial instruments are instruments that contain bifurcatable embedded derivatives and do not require settlement by physical delivery of nonfinancial assets (e.g., physical commodities). If the firm elects to bifurcate the embedded derivative from the associated debt, the derivative is accounted for at fair value and the host contract is accounted for at amortized cost, adjusted for the effective portion of any fair value hedges. If the firm does not elect to bifurcate, the entire hybrid financial instrument is accounted for at fair value under the fair value option. Other financial assets and liabilities accounted for at fair value under the fair value option include:
Fair Value of Other Financial Assets and Liabilities by Level The table below presents, by level within the fair value hierarchy, other financial assets and liabilities at fair value, substantially all of which are accounted for at fair value under the fair value option.
In the table above, other financial assets are shown as positive amounts and other financial liabilities are shown as negative amounts. See Note 4 for an overview of the firm’s fair value measurement policies and the valuation techniques and significant inputs used to determine the fair value of other financial assets and liabilities. Significant Unobservable Inputs See below for information about the significant unobservable inputs used to value level 3 other financial assets and liabilities at fair value as of both September 2021 and December 2020. Other Secured Financings. The ranges and weighted averages of significant unobservable inputs used to value level 3 other secured financings are presented below. These ranges and weighted averages exclude unobservable inputs that are only relevant to a single instrument, and therefore are not meaningful. As of September 2021:
As of December 2020:
Generally, increases in yield or duration, in isolation, would have resulted in a lower fair value measurement as of period-end. Due to the distinctive nature of each of level 3 other secured financings, the interrelationship of inputs is not necessarily uniform across such financings. See Note 11 for further information about other secured financings. Deposits, Unsecured Borrowings and Other Liabilities. Substantially all of the firm’s deposits, unsecured short- and long-term borrowings, and other liabilities that are classified in level 3 are hybrid financial instruments. As the significant unobservable inputs used to value hybrid financial instruments primarily relate to the embedded derivative component of these deposits, unsecured borrowings and other liabilities, these unobservable inputs are incorporated in the firm’s derivative disclosures in Note 7. See Note 13 for further information about deposits, Note 14 for further information about unsecured borrowings and Note 15 for further information about other liabilities. Repurchase Agreements. As of September 2021, the firm had no level 3 repurchase agreements. As of December 2020, the firm’s level 3 repurchase agreements were not material. Level 3 Rollforward The table below presents a summary of the changes in fair value for level 3 other financial liabilities accounted for at fair value.
In the table above:
The table below presents information, by the consolidated balance sheet line items, for liabilities included in the summary table above.
Level 3 Rollforward Commentary Three Months Ended September 2021. The net realized and unrealized gains on level 3 other financial liabilities of $638 million (reflecting $181 million of net realized losses and $819 million of net unrealized gains) for the three months ended September 2021 included gains/(losses) of $599 million reported in market making, $19 million reported in other principal transactions and $(5) million reported in interest expense in the consolidated statements of earnings and $25 million reported in debt valuation adjustment in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. The net unrealized gains on level 3 other financial liabilities for the three months ended September 2021 primarily reflected gains on certain hybrid financial instruments included in unsecured short- and long-term borrowings (principally due to higher levels of volatility and decreases in the market value of certain underlying equities). Transfers into level 3 other financial liabilities during the three months ended September 2021 primarily reflected transfers of certain other secured financings from level 2 (principally due to reduced price transparency of certain yield and duration inputs used to value these instruments) and certain hybrid financial instruments included in unsecured short- and long-term borrowings from level 2 (principally due to reduced price transparency of certain volatility and correlation inputs used to value these instruments). Transfers out of level 3 other financial liabilities during the three months ended September 2021 primarily reflected transfers of certain hybrid financial instruments included in unsecured short- Nine Months Ended September 2021. The net realized and unrealized gains on level 3 other financial liabilities of $434 million (reflecting $388 million of net realized losses and $822 million of net unrealized gains) for the nine months ended September 2021 included gains/(losses) of $366 million reported in market making, $49 million reported in other principal transactions and $(14) million reported in interest expense in the consolidated statements of earnings and $33 million reported in debt valuation adjustment in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. The net unrealized gains on level 3 other financial liabilities for the nine months ended September 2021 primarily reflected gains on certain hybrid financial instruments included in unsecured long- and short-term borrowings (principally due to higher levels of volatility in certain underlying equities and an increase in interest rates, partially offset by an increase in global equity prices). Transfers into level 3 other financial liabilities during the nine months ended September 2021 primarily reflected transfers of certain hybrid financial instruments included in unsecured long- Transfers out of level 3 other financial liabilities during the nine months ended September 2021 primarily reflected transfers of certain hybrid financial instruments included in unsecured long- and short-term borrowings to level 2 (principally due to increased price transparency of certain volatility and correlation inputs used to value these instruments, and certain unobservable volatility inputs no longer being significant to the valuation of these instruments) and certain other secured financings to level 2 (principally due to increased price transparency of certain yield and duration inputs used to value these instruments). Three Months Ended September 2020. The net realized and unrealized losses on level 3 other financial liabilities of $466 million (reflecting $112 million of net realized losses and $354 million of net unrealized losses) for the three months ended September 2020 included losses of $289 million reported in market making, $32 million reported in other principal transactions and $7 million reported in interest expense in the consolidated statements of earnings, and $138 million reported in debt valuation adjustment in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. The net unrealized losses on level 3 other financial liabilities for the three months ended September 2020 primarily reflected losses on certain hybrid financial instruments included in unsecured long-term borrowings (principally due to an increase in global equity prices) and losses on certain hybrid financial instruments included in deposits and other secured financings (in each case, principally due to an increase in the market value of the underlying assets). Transfers into level 3 other financial liabilities during the three months ended September 2020 primarily reflected transfers of certain other secured financings from level 2 (principally due to reduced price transparency of certain yield and duration inputs used to value these instruments) and certain hybrid financial instruments included in unsecured short- and long-term borrowings from level 2 (principally due to reduced price transparency of certain volatility and correlation inputs used to value these instruments). Transfers out of level 3 other financial liabilities during the three months ended September 2020 primarily reflected transfers of certain hybrid financial instruments included in unsecured short-term borrowings to level 2 (principally due to increased price transparency of certain volatility and correlation inputs used to value these instruments). Nine Months Ended September 2020. The net realized and unrealized gains on level 3 other financial liabilities of $103 million (reflecting $244 million of net realized losses and $347 million of net unrealized gains) for the nine months ended September 2020 included gains/(losses) of $(38) million reported in market making, $27 million reported in other principal transactions and $(12) million reported in interest expense in the consolidated statements of earnings, and $126 million reported in debt valuation adjustment in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. The net unrealized gains on level 3 other financial liabilities for the nine months ended September 2020 primarily reflected gains on certain hybrid financial instruments included in unsecured short- and long-term borrowings (principally due to a decrease in global equity prices), partially offset by losses on certain other liabilities and hybrid financial instruments included in deposits (in each case, principally due to an increase in the market value of the underlying assets). Transfers into level 3 other financial liabilities during the nine months ended September 2020 primarily reflected transfers of certain other secured financings from level 2 (principally due to reduced price transparency of certain yield and duration inputs used to value these instruments) and certain hybrid financial instruments included in unsecured long- and short-term borrowings from level 2 (principally due to reduced price transparency of certain volatility and correlation inputs used to value these instruments). The drivers of transfers out of level 3 other financial liabilities during the nine months ended September 2020 to level 2 were not material. Gains and Losses on Other Financial Assets and Liabilities Accounted for at Fair Value Under the Fair Value Option The table below presents the gains and losses recognized in earnings as a result of the election to apply the fair value option to certain financial assets and liabilities.
In the table above:
See Note 8 for information about gains/(losses) on equity securities and Note 9 for information about gains/(losses) on loans which are accounted for at fair value under the fair value option. Gains/(losses) on trading assets and liabilities accounted for at fair value under the fair value option are included in market making. See Note 5 for further information about gains/(losses) from market making. Long-Term Debt Instruments The difference between the aggregate contractual principal amount and the related fair value of long-term other secured financings, for which the fair value option was elected, was not material as of both September 2021 and December 2020. The fair value of unsecured long-term borrowings, for which the fair value option was elected, exceeded the related aggregate contractual principal amount by $290 million as of September 2021 and $445 million as of December 2020. The amounts above include both principal-protected and non-principal-protected long-term borrowings. Debt Valuation Adjustment The firm calculates the fair value of financial liabilities for which the fair value option is elected by discounting future cash flows at a rate which incorporates the firm’s credit spreads. The table below presents information about the net debt valuation adjustment (DVA) gains/(losses) on financial liabilities for which the fair value option was elected.
In the table above:
Loans and Lending Commitments The table below presents the difference between the aggregate fair value and the aggregate contractual principal amount for loans (included in trading assets and loans in the consolidated balance sheets) for which the fair value option was elected.
In the table above, the aggregate contractual principal amount of loans on nonaccrual status and/or more than 90 days past due (which excludes loans carried at zero fair value and considered uncollectible) exceeds the related fair value primarily because the firm regularly purchases loans, such as distressed loans, at values significantly below the contractual principal amounts. The fair value of unfunded lending commitments for which the fair value option was elected was a liability of $39 million as of September 2021 and $25 million as of December 2020, and the related total contractual amount of these lending commitments was $1.78 billion as of September 2021 and $1.64 billion as of December 2020. See Note 18 for further information about lending commitments. Impact of Credit Spreads on Loans and Lending Commitments The estimated net gain/(loss) attributable to changes in instrument-specific credit spreads on loans and lending commitments for which the fair value option was elected was $87 million for the three months ended September 2021, $73 million for the three months ended September 2020, $290 million for the nine months ended September 2021 and $(151) million for the nine months ended September 2020. The firm generally calculates the fair value of loans and lending commitments for which the fair value option is elected by discounting future cash flows at a rate which incorporates the instrument-specific credit spreads. For floating-rate loans and lending commitments, substantially all changes in fair value are attributable to changes in instrument-specific credit spreads, whereas for fixed-rate loans and lending commitments, changes in fair value are also attributable to changes in interest rates.
