Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]  
Schedule of fair value methodologies
The following table describes the valuation methodologies generally used by the Firm to measure its significant products/instruments at fair value, including the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy.
 
Product/instrument
 Valuation methodology
Classifications in the valuation hierarchy
 
Securities financing agreements
Valuations are based on discounted cash flows, which consider:
Predominantly level 2
 
• Derivative features: for further information refer to the discussion of derivatives below.
 
• Market rates for the respective maturity
 
• Collateral
 
Loans and lending-related commitments — wholesale
 
 
Loans carried at fair value (e.g. trading loans and non-trading loans)
Where observable market data is available, valuations are based on:
Level 2 or 3
 
• Observed market prices (circumstances are infrequent)
 
 
• Relevant broker quotes
 
 
 
• Observed market prices for similar instruments
 
 
 
Where observable market data is unavailable or limited, valuations are based on discounted cash flows, which consider the following:
 
 
 
• Credit spreads derived from the cost of CDS; or benchmark credit curves developed by the Firm, by industry and credit rating
 
 
 
• Prepayment speed
 
 
Loans held for investment and associated lending-related commitments
Valuations are based on discounted cash flows, which consider:
Predominantly level 3
 
• Credit spreads, derived from the cost of CDS; or benchmark credit curves developed by the Firm, by industry and credit rating
 
 
 
 
• Prepayment speed
 
 
 
Lending-related commitments are valued similar to loans and reflect the portion of an unused commitment expected, based on the Firm’s average portfolio historical experience, to become funded prior to an obligor default
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
For information regarding the valuation of loans measured at collateral value, see Note 14.
 
 
 
 
 
Loans — consumer
 
 
 
Held for investment consumer loans, excluding credit card
Valuations are based on discounted cash flows, which consider:
Predominantly level 3
 
• Credit losses – which consider expected and current default rates, and loss severity
 
 
 
 
  Prepayment speed
 
 
 
  Discount rates
 
 
 
  Servicing costs
 
 
 
For information regarding the valuation of loans measured at collateral value, see Note 14.
 
 
 
 
 
Held for investment credit card receivables
Valuations are based on discounted cash flows, which consider:
Level 3
 
• Credit costs - the allowance for loan losses is considered a reasonable proxy for the credit cost
 
 
 
 
• Projected interest income, late-fee revenue and loan repayment rates
 
 
• Discount rates
 
 
 
• Servicing costs
 
 
Trading loans — conforming residential mortgage loans expected to be sold
Fair value is based on observable prices for mortgage-backed securities with similar collateral and incorporates adjustments to these prices to account for differences between the securities and the value of the underlying loans, which include credit characteristics, portfolio composition, and liquidity.
Predominantly level 2
 
 
 
 
 
 
Product/instrument
Valuation methodology, inputs and assumptions
Classifications in the valuation hierarchy
Investment and trading securities
Quoted market prices are used where available.
Level 1
 
In the absence of quoted market prices, securities are valued based on:
Level 2 or 3
 
• Observable market prices for similar securities
 
 
  Relevant broker quotes
 
 
  Discounted cash flows
 
 
In addition, the following inputs to discounted cash flows are used for the following products:
 
 
Mortgage- and asset-backed securities specific inputs:
 
 
  Collateral characteristics
 
 
• Deal-specific payment and loss allocations
 
 
• Current market assumptions related to yield, prepayment speed, conditional default rates and loss severity
 
 
Collateralized loan obligations (“CLOs”) specific inputs:
 
 
  Collateral characteristics
 
 
  Deal-specific payment and loss allocations
 
 
  Expected prepayment speed, conditional default rates, loss severity
 
 
  Credit spreads
 
 
• Credit rating data
 
Physical commodities
Valued using observable market prices or data
Predominantly level 1 and 2
Derivatives
Exchange-traded derivatives that are actively traded and valued using the exchange price.
Level 1
 
Derivatives that are valued using models such as the Black-Scholes option pricing model, simulation models, or a combination of models, that use observable or unobservable valuation inputs (e.g., plain vanilla options and interest rate and CDS). Inputs include:
Level 2 or 3
 
 
 
 
  Contractual terms including the period to maturity
 
 
  Readily observable parameters including interest rates and volatility
 
 
  Credit quality of the counterparty and of the Firm
 
 
  Market funding levels
 
 
  Correlation levels
 
 
In addition, specific inputs used for derivatives that are valued based on models with significant unobservable inputs are as follows:
 
 
Structured credit derivatives specific inputs include:
 
 
  CDS spreads and recovery rates
 
 
  Credit correlation between the underlying debt instruments (levels are modeled on a transaction basis and calibrated to liquid benchmark tranche indices)
 
 
 
 
 
 
  Actual transactions, where available, are used to regularly recalibrate unobservable parameters
 
 
 
 
Certain long-dated equity option specific inputs include:
 
 
  Long-dated equity volatilities
 
 
Certain interest rate and FX exotic options specific inputs include:
 
 
  Interest rate correlation
 
 
  Interest rate spread volatility
 
 
  Foreign exchange correlation
 
 
  Correlation between interest rates and foreign exchange rates
 
 
  Parameters describing the evolution of underlying interest rates
 
 
Certain commodity derivatives specific inputs include:
 
 
  Commodity volatility
 
 
• Forward commodity price
 
 
Additionally, adjustments are made to reflect counterparty credit quality (CVA), the Firm’s own creditworthiness (DVA), and the impact of funding (FVA). See pages 164-165 of this Note.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Product/instrument
Valuation methodology, inputs and assumptions
Classification in the valuation hierarchy
 
Mortgage servicing rights
See Mortgage servicing rights in Note 17.
Level 3
 
 
 
Private equity direct investments
Private equity direct investments
Level 2 or 3
 
 
Fair value is estimated using all available information; the range of potential inputs include:



 
 
• Transaction prices
 
 
 
• Trading multiples of comparable public companies
 
 
 
• Operating performance of the underlying portfolio company
 
 
 
• Adjustments as required, since comparable public companies are not identical to the company being valued, and for company-specific issues and lack of liquidity
 
 
 
• Additional available inputs relevant to the investment
 
 
Fund investments (e.g. mutual/collective investment funds, private equity funds, hedge funds, and real estate funds)
Net asset value
 
 
• NAV is supported by the ability to redeem and purchase at the NAV level.
Level 1
 
 
 
• Adjustments to the NAV as required, for restrictions on redemption (e.g., lock-up periods or withdrawal limitations) or where observable activity is limited
Level 2 or 3(a)
 
 
 
 
Beneficial interests issued by consolidated VIEs
Valued using observable market information, where available
Level 2 or 3
 
In the absence of observable market information, valuations are based on the fair value of the underlying assets held by the VIE
 
 
Long-term debt, not carried at fair value
Valuations are based on discounted cash flows, which consider:
Predominantly level 2
 
  Market rates for respective maturity
 
Structured notes (included in deposits, other borrowed funds and long-term debt)
• Valuations are based on discounted cash flow analyses that consider the embedded derivative and the terms and payment structure of the note.
• The embedded derivative features are considered using models such as the Black-Scholes option pricing model, simulation models, or a combination of models that use observable or unobservable valuation inputs, depending on the embedded derivative. The specific inputs used vary according to the nature of the embedded derivative features, as described in the discussion above regarding derivatives valuation. Adjustments are then made to this base valuation to reflect the Firm’s own creditworthiness (DVA) and to incorporate the impact of funding (FVA). See pages 164-165 of this Note.
Level 2 or 3
 
 
 
 

(a)
Excludes certain investments that are measured at fair value using the net asset value per share (or its equivalent) as a practical expedient.

(a)
At December 31, 2016 and 2015, included total U.S. government-sponsored enterprise obligations of $80.6 billion and $67.0 billion, respectively, which were predominantly mortgage-related.
(b)
At December 31, 2016 and 2015, included within trading loans were $16.5 billion and $11.8 billion, respectively, of residential first-lien mortgages, and $3.3 billion and $4.3 billion, respectively, of commercial first-lien mortgages. Residential mortgage loans include conforming mortgage loans originated with the intent to sell to U.S. government agencies of $11.0 billion and $5.3 billion, respectively, and reverse mortgages of $2.0 billion and $2.5 billion, respectively.
(c)
Physical commodities inventories are generally accounted for at the lower of cost or market. “Market” is a term defined in U.S. GAAP as not exceeding fair value less costs to sell (“transaction costs”). Transaction costs for the Firm’s physical commodities inventories are either not applicable or immaterial to the value of the inventory. Therefore, market approximates fair value for the Firm’s physical commodities inventories. When fair value hedging has been applied (or when market is below cost), the carrying value of physical commodities approximates fair value, because under fair value hedge accounting, the cost basis is adjusted for changes in fair value. For a further discussion of the Firm’s hedge accounting relationships, see Note 6. To provide consistent fair value disclosure information, all physical commodities inventories have been included in each period presented.
(d)
Balances reflect the reduction of securities owned (long positions) by the amount of identical securities sold but not yet purchased (short positions).
(e)
As permitted under U.S. GAAP, the Firm has elected to net derivative receivables and derivative payables and the related cash collateral received and paid when a legally enforceable master netting agreement exists. For purposes of the tables above, the Firm does not reduce derivative receivables and derivative payables balances for this netting adjustment, either within or across the levels of the fair value hierarchy, as such netting is not relevant to a presentation based on the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability. The level 3 balances would be reduced if netting were applied, including the netting benefit associated with cash collateral.
(f)
Certain investments that are measured at fair value using the net asset value per share (or its equivalent) as a practical expedient are not required to be classified in the fair value hierarchy. At December 31, 2016 and 2015, the fair values of these investments, which include certain hedge funds, private equity funds, real estate and other funds, were $1.0 billion and $1.2 billion, respectively. Included in the balances at December 31, 2016 and 2015, were trading assets of $52 million and $61 million, respectively, and other assets of $1.0 billion and $1.2 billion, respectively.
(g)
Private equity instruments represent investments within Corporate. The portion of the private equity investment portfolio carried at fair value on a recurring basis had a cost basis of $2.5 billion and $3.5 billion at December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

(a)
The categories presented in the table have been aggregated based upon the product type, which may differ from their classification on the Consolidated balance sheets. Furthermore, the inputs presented for each valuation technique in the table are, in some cases, not applicable to every instrument valued using the technique as the characteristics of the instruments can differ.
(b)
The unobservable inputs and associated input ranges for approximately $394 million of credit derivative receivables and $226 million of credit derivative payables with underlying commercial mortgage risk have been included in the inputs and ranges provided for commercial mortgage-backed securities and loans.
(c)
The unobservable inputs and associated input ranges for approximately $362 million of credit derivative receivables and $333 million of credit derivative payables with underlying ABS risk have been included in the inputs and ranges provided for corporate debt securities, obligations of U.S. states and municipalities and other.
(d)
Long-term debt, other borrowed funds and deposits include structured notes issued by the Firm that are predominantly financial instruments containing embedded derivatives. The estimation of the fair value of structured notes includes the derivative features embedded within the instrument. The significant unobservable inputs are broadly consistent with those presented for derivative receivables.

Changes in level 3 recurring fair value measurements
The following tables include a rollforward of the Consolidated balance sheets amounts (including changes in fair value) for financial instruments classified by the Firm within level 3 of the fair value hierarchy for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014. When a determination is made to classify a financial instrument within level 3, the determination is based on the significance of the unobservable parameters to the overall fair value measurement. However, level 3 financial instruments typically include, in addition to the unobservable or level 3 components, observable components (that is, components that are actively quoted and can be validated to external sources); accordingly, the gains and losses in the table below include changes in fair value due in part to observable factors that are part of the valuation methodology. Also, the Firm risk-manages the observable components of level 3 financial instruments using securities and derivative positions that are classified within level 1 or 2 of the fair value hierarchy; as these level 1 and level 2 risk management instruments are not included below, the gains or losses in the following tables do not reflect the effect of the Firm’s risk management activities related to such level 3 instruments.

(a)
Fair value is typically estimated using a discounted cash flow model that incorporates the characteristics of the underlying loans (including principal, contractual interest rate and contractual fees) and other key inputs, including expected lifetime credit losses, interest rates, prepayment rates, and primary origination or secondary market spreads. For certain loans, the fair value is measured based on the value of the underlying collateral. The difference between the estimated fair value and carrying value of a financial asset or liability is the result of the different methodologies used to determine fair value as compared with carrying value. For example, credit losses are estimated for a financial asset’s remaining life in a fair value calculation but are estimated for a loss emergence period in the allowance for loan loss calculation; future loan income (interest and fees) is incorporated in a fair value calculation but is generally not considered in the allowance for loan losses. For a further discussion of the Firm’s methodologies for estimating the fair value of loans and lending-related commitments, see Valuation hierarchy on pages 150–153.
The Carrying value and estimated fair value of wholesale lending- related commitments
The majority of the Firm’s lending-related commitments are not carried at fair value on a recurring basis on the Consolidated balance sheets, nor are they actively traded. The carrying value of the wholesale allowance for lending-related commitments and the estimated fair value of these wholesale lending-related commitments were as follows for the periods indicated.
