Level 3 Financial Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis, Roll Forward Table of Change in Balances

The realized and unrealized gains and losses in the tables may include changes in fair value that were attributable to both observable and unobservable inputs. In the following tables, gains/(losses) on trading and derivative instruments are reported in “Principal transactions” and gains/(losses) on other investments are reported in “Other” revenues on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income.

Fair Value Measurements, Nonrecurring

The following table presents assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis along with the valuation techniques and significant unobservable inputs used in the valuation of the assets classified as level 3. These inputs represent those that a market participant would take into account when pricing these instruments. Weighted averages are calculated by weighting each input by the relative fair value of the related financial instrument.


$ in millions	Level 2		Level 3		Total fair value		Valuation technique(s)	Unobservable input	Range (weighted-average)
March 31, 2024
Bank loans:
Residential mortgage loans	$	2	$	8	$	10	Collateral or discounted cash flow (1)	Prepayment rate	7 yrs. - 12 yrs. (10.3 yrs.)
Corporate loans	$	—	$	125	$	125	Collateral or discounted cash flow (1)	Recovery rate	33% - 59% (56%)
Loans held for sale	$	41	$	—	$	41	N/A	N/A	N/A


September 30, 2023
Bank loans:
Residential mortgage loans	$	2	$	8	$	10	Collateral or discounted cash flow (1)	Prepayment rate	7 yrs. - 12 yrs. (10.3 yrs.)
Corporate loans	$	—	$	84	$	84	Collateral or discounted cash flow (1)	Recovery rate	22% - 65% (53%)
Loans held for sale	$	2	$	—	$	2	N/A	N/A	N/A

(1)The valuation techniques used to estimate the fair values are based on collateral value less selling costs for the collateral-dependent loans and discounted cash flows for loans that are not collateral-dependent. Unobservable inputs used in the collateral valuation technique are not meaningful and unobservable inputs used in the discounted cash flow valuation technique are presented in the table.

Carrying Amounts and Estimated Fair Values of Financial Instruments Not Carried at Fair Value

The following table presents the estimated fair value and fair value hierarchy of financial assets and liabilities that are not recorded at fair value on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition at March 31, 2024 and September 30, 2023. This table excludes financial instruments that are carried at amounts which approximate fair value. See Note 4 of our 2023 Form 10-K for a discussion of our financial instruments that are not recorded at fair value.
