Variable Interest Entities [Abstract]  
Firm-sponsored mortgage and other consumer securitization trusts
The following table presents the total unpaid principal amount of assets held in Firm-sponsored private-label securitization entities, including those in which the Firm has continuing involvement, and those that are consolidated by the Firm. Continuing involvement includes servicing the loans; holding senior interests or subordinated interests; recourse or guarantee arrangements; and derivative transactions. In certain instances, the Firm’s only continuing involvement is servicing the loans. See Securitization activity on page 269 of this Note for further information regarding the Firm’s cash flows with and interests retained in nonconsolidated VIEs, and pages 269–270 of this Note for information on the Firm’s loan sales to U.S. government agencies.
