(1)    The definition of maximum exposure to loss is included in the text that follows this table.
(2)
Included on Citigroup’s September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 Consolidated Balance Sheet.
(3)
A significant unconsolidated VIE is an entity where the Company has any variable interest or continuing involvement considered to be significant, regardless of the likelihood of loss.
(4)
Citigroup mortgage securitizations also include agency and non-agency (private-label) re-securitization activities. These SPEs are not consolidated. See “Re-securitizations” below for further discussion.
(5)
See Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on the exit of the U.S. mortgage servicing operations and sale of MSRs.
The previous tables do not include:

certain venture capital investments made by some of the Company’s private equity subsidiaries, as the Company accounts for these investments in accordance with the Investment Company Audit Guide (codified in ASC 946);
certain investment funds for which the Company provides investment management services and personal estate trusts for which the Company provides administrative, trustee and/or investment management services;
certain VIEs structured by third parties where the Company holds securities in inventory, as these investments are made on arm’s-length terms;
certain positions in mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities held by the Company, which are classified as Trading account assets or Investments, where the Company has no other involvement with the related securitization entity deemed to be significant (for more information on these positions, see Notes 12 and 20 to the Consolidated Financial Statements);
certain representations and warranties exposures in legacy ICG-sponsored mortgage-backed and asset-backed securitizations, where the Company has no variable interest or continuing involvement as servicer. The outstanding balance of mortgage loans securitized during 2005 to 2008 where the Company has no variable interest or continuing involvement as servicer was approximately $9 billion and $10 billion at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively;
certain representations and warranties exposures in Citigroup residential mortgage securitizations, where the original mortgage loan balances are no longer outstanding; and
VIEs such as trust preferred securities trusts used in connection with the Company’s funding activities. The Company does not have a variable interest in these trusts.


The asset balances for consolidated VIEs represent the carrying amounts of the assets consolidated by the Company. The carrying amount may represent the amortized cost or the current fair value of the assets depending on the legal form of the asset (e.g., loan or security) and the Company’s standard accounting policies for the asset type and line of business.
The asset balances for unconsolidated VIEs where the Company has significant involvement represent the most current information available to the Company. In most cases, the asset balances represent an amortized cost basis without regard to impairments, unless fair value information is readily available to the Company.
The maximum funded exposure represents the balance sheet carrying amount of the Company’s investment in the VIE. It reflects the initial amount of cash invested in the VIE adjusted for any accrued interest and cash principal payments received. The carrying amount may also be adjusted for increases or declines in fair value or any impairment in value recognized in earnings. The maximum exposure of unfunded positions represents the remaining undrawn committed amount, including liquidity and credit facilities provided by the Company, or the notional amount of a derivative instrument considered to be a variable interest. In certain transactions, the Company has entered into derivative instruments or other arrangements that are not considered variable interests in the VIE (e.g., interest rate swaps, cross-currency swaps or where the Company is the purchaser of credit protection under a credit default swap or total return swap where the Company pays the total return on certain assets to the SPE). Receivables under such arrangements are not included in the maximum exposure amounts.

(1) The proceeds from new securitizations in 2016 include $0.5 billion related to personal loan securitizations.

Gains recognized on the securitization of U.S. agency-sponsored mortgages were $14 million and $61 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, gains recognized on the securitization of non-agency sponsored mortgages were $29 million and $75 million, respectively.

Gains recognized on the securitization of U.S. agency-sponsored mortgages were $36 million and $81 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, gains recognized on the securitization of non-agency sponsored mortgages were $37 million and $65 million, respectively.

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

(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.

The interests retained by the Company range from highly rated and/or senior in the capital structure to unrated and/or residual interests.
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.

Mortgage Servicing Rights (MSRs)
The fair value of Citi’s capitalized MSRs was $553 million and $1.3 billion at September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The MSRs correspond to principal loan balances of $68 billion and $173 billion as of September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The following table summarizes the changes in capitalized MSRs:

Re-securitizations
The Company engages in re-securitization transactions in which debt securities are transferred to a VIE in exchange for new beneficial interests. Citi did not transfer non-agency (private-label) securities to re-securitization entities during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016. These securities are backed by either residential or commercial mortgages and are often structured on behalf of clients.
As of September 30, 2017, the fair value of Citi-retained interests in private-label re-securitization transactions structured by Citi totaled approximately $75 million (all related to re-securitization transactions executed prior to 2017), which has been recorded in Trading account assets. Of this amount, substantially all was related to subordinated beneficial interests. As of December 31, 2016, the fair value of Citi-retained interests in private-label re-securitization transactions structured by Citi totaled approximately $126 million (all related to re-securitization transactions executed prior to 2016). Of this amount, substantially all was related to subordinated beneficial interests. The original par value of private-label re-securitization transactions in which Citi holds a retained interest as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 was approximately $954 million and $1.3 billion, respectively.
The Company also re-securitizes U.S. government-agency guaranteed mortgage-backed (agency) securities. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, Citi transferred agency securities with a fair value of approximately $9.9 billion and $20.0 billion, respectively, to re-securitization entities compared to approximately $7.1 billion and $21.3 billion for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016.
As of September 30, 2017, the fair value of Citi-retained interests in agency re-securitization transactions structured by Citi totaled approximately $2.0 billion (including $713 million related to re-securitization transactions executed in 2017) compared to $2.3 billion as of December 31, 2016 (including $741 million related to re-securitization transactions executed in 2016), which is recorded in Trading account assets. The original fair value of agency re-securitization transactions in which Citi holds a retained interest as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 was approximately $67.6 billion and $71.8 billion, respectively.
As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company did not consolidate any private-label or agency re-securitization entities.

Citi-Administered Asset-Backed Commercial Paper Conduits
At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the commercial paper conduits administered by Citi had approximately $19.3 billion and $19.7 billion of purchased assets outstanding, respectively, and had incremental funding commitments with clients of approximately $14.3 billion and $12.8 billion, respectively.
Substantially all of the funding of the conduits is in the form of short-term commercial paper. At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the weighted average remaining lives of the commercial paper issued by the conduits were approximately 53 and 55 days, respectively.
The primary credit enhancement provided to the conduit investors is in the form of transaction-specific credit enhancements described above. In addition to the transaction-specific credit enhancements, the conduits, other than the government guaranteed loan conduit, have obtained a letter of credit from the Company, which is equal to at least 8% to 10% of the conduit’s assets with a minimum of $200 million. The letters of credit provided by the Company to the conduits total approximately $1.8 billion as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. The net result across multi-seller conduits administered by the Company is that, in the event defaulted assets exceed the transaction-specific credit enhancements described above, any losses in each conduit are allocated first to the Company and then the commercial paper investors.
At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company owned $9.3 billion and $9.7 billion, respectively, of the commercial paper issued by its administered conduits. The Company's investments were not driven by market illiquidity and the Company is not obligated under any agreement to purchase the commercial paper issued by the conduits.

Municipal Securities Tender Option Bond (TOB) Trusts
At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, approximately $56 million and $82 million, respectively, of the municipal bonds owned by non-customer TOB trusts were subject to a credit guarantee provided by the Company.
At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, liquidity agreements provided with respect to customer TOB trusts totaled $3.1 billion and $2.9 billion, respectively, of which $2.0 billion and $2.1 billion, respectively, were offset by reimbursement agreements. For the remaining exposure related to TOB transactions, where the residual owned by the customer was at least 25% of the bond value at the inception of the transaction, no reimbursement agreement was executed.
The Company also provides other liquidity agreements or letters of credit to customer-sponsored municipal investment funds, which are not variable interest entities, and municipality-related issuers that totaled $6.1 billion and $7.4 billion as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. These liquidity agreements and letters of credit are offset by reimbursement agreements with various term-out provisions.

Client Intermediation
The proceeds from new securitizations related to the Company’s client intermediation transactions for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 totaled approximately $0.2 billion and $0.9 billion, respectively, compared to $0.5 billion and $1.9 billion for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016.
