Trading Assets Pledged.

The Company pledges its trading assets to collateralize repurchase agreements and other secured financings. Pledged financial instruments that can be sold or repledged by the secured party are identified as Trading assets (pledged to various parties) in the condensed consolidated balance sheet. At March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the carrying value of Trading assets that have been loaned or pledged to counterparties, where those counterparties do not have the right to sell or repledge the collateral, were $41.9 billion and $35.0 billion, respectively.

Collateral Received.

The Company receives collateral in the form of securities in connection with reverse repurchase agreements, securities borrowed and derivative transactions, customer margin loans and securities-based lending. In many cases, the Company is permitted to sell or repledge these securities held as collateral and use the securities to secure repurchase agreements, to enter into securities lending and derivative transactions or for delivery to counterparties to cover short positions. The Company additionally receives securities as collateral in connection with certain securities-for-securities transactions in which it is the lender. In instances where the Company is permitted to sell or repledge these securities, it reports the fair value of the collateral received and the related obligation to return the collateral in its condensed consolidated balance sheet. At March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the total fair value of financial instruments received as collateral where the Company is permitted to sell or repledge the securities was $537.7 billion and $522.6 billion, respectively, and the fair value of the portion that had been sold or repledged was $415.9 billion and $398.1 billion, respectively.

Other.

The Company also engages in margin lending to clients that allows the client to borrow against the value of qualifying securities and is included within Customer and other receivables in the condensed consolidated balance sheet. Under these agreements and transactions, the Company receives collateral, including U.S. government and agency securities, other sovereign government obligations, corporate and other debt, and corporate equities. Customer receivables generated from margin lending activities are collateralized by customer-owned securities held by the Company. The Company monitors required margin levels and established credit terms daily and, pursuant to such guidelines, requires customers to deposit additional collateral, or reduce positions, when necessary. At March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the amounts related to margin lending were approximately $24.6 billion and $25.3 billion, respectively.

For a further discussion of the Company’s margin lending activities, see Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements in the 2015 Form 10-K.

The Company has additional secured liabilities. For further discussion of other secured financings, see Note 10.
