Variable Interest Entities [Abstract]
VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES	NOTE 18. VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES. In addition to the three VIEs detailed in Note 4, in our consolidated Statement of Financial Position, we have assets of $2,268 million and $2,134 million and liabilities of $1,196 million and $1,233 million at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, from other consolidated VIEs. These entities were created to help our customers facilitate or finance the purchase of GE goods and services. These entities have no features that could expose us to losses that would significantly exceed the difference between the consolidated assets and liabilities. Substantially all the assets of our consolidated VIEs at September 30, 2020 can only be used to settle the liabilities of those VIEs. Our investments in unconsolidated VIEs were $2,291 million and $1,937 million at September 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019, respectively. These investments are primarily owned by GE Capital businesses, $421 million and $621 million of which were owned by Energy Financial Services, comprising equity method investments, and $1,469 million and $896 million of which were owned by our run-off insurance operations, primarily comprising investment securities at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The increase in investments in unconsolidated VIEs in our run-off insurance operations reflects implementation of our revised reinvestment plan, which incorporates the introduction of strategic initiatives to invest in higher-yielding asset classes. Our maximum exposure to loss in respect of unconsolidated VIEs is increased by our commitments to make additional investments in these entities described in Note 19.
