Schedule of key assumptions used in measuring fair value of retained interest at the date of sale or securitization of mortgage receivables

Key assumptions used in measuring the fair value of retained interests at the date of sale or securitization of mortgage receivables were as follows:

	December 31, 2014
			Non-agency-sponsored mortgages⁽¹⁾

(1)	Disclosure of non-agency-sponsored mortgages as senior and subordinated interests is indicative of the interests’ position in the capital structure of the securitization.


(2)	Anticipated net credit losses represent estimated loss severity associated with defaulted mortgage loans underlying the mortgage securitizations disclosed above. Anticipated net credit losses, in this instance, do not represent total credit losses incurred to date, nor do they represent credit losses expected on retained interests in mortgage securitizations.


NM	Anticipated net credit losses are not meaningful due to U.S. agency guarantees.

Schedule of key assumptions used to value retained interests and sensitivity of adverse changes of 10% and 20%, mortgage securitizations

The key assumptions used to value retained interests, and the sensitivity of the fair value to adverse changes of 10% and 20% in each of the key assumptions, are set forth in the tables below. The negative effect of each change is calculated independently, holding all other assumptions constant. Because the key assumptions may not be independent, the net effect of simultaneous adverse changes in the key assumptions may be less than the sum of the individual effects shown below.
