Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]  
Fair Value Disclosures Fair Value Disclosures
Recurring Fair Value Measurements

Accounting standards define fair value as the price that would be received on the measurement date to sell an asset or the price paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market available to the entity in an orderly transaction between market participants, with a three level measurement hierarchy:

Level 1: Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets
Level 2: Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets
Level 3: Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable

The following tables present fair value information for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

For a description of the valuation techniques and significant inputs for Level 2 and Level 3 assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, see “Note 18. Fair Value Disclosures” of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

The non-agency MBS categorized as Level 3 represent ownership interests in various tranches of Re-REMIC trusts. These securities are valued at a discount, which is unobservable in the market, to the fair value of the underlying securities owned by the trusts. The Re-REMIC tranches do not have an active market and therefore are categorized as Level 3. At March 31, 2020, the fair value of Re-REMIC non-agency MBS represented a discount of 38.7% to the fair value of the underlying securities owned by the Re-REMIC trusts due to market conditions at March 31, 2020 that reflected wider discounts relative to previous periods.

The majority of private equity investments are in SBIC qualified funds, which primarily focus on equity and subordinated debt investments in privately-held middle market companies. The majority of these VIE investments are not redeemable and distributions are received as the underlying assets of the funds liquidate. The timing of distributions, which are expected to occur on various dates on an approximately ratable basis through 2030, is uncertain and dependent on various events such as recapitalizations, refinance transactions and ownership changes among others. As of March 31, 2020, restrictions on the ability to sell the investments include, but are not limited to, consent of a majority member or general partner approval for transfer of ownership. These investments are spread over numerous privately-held middle market companies, and thus the sensitivity to a change in fair value for any single investment is limited. The significant unobservable inputs for these investments are EBITDA multiples that ranged from 6x to 14x, with a weighted average of 8x, at March 31, 2020.

Refer to "Note 7. Loan Servicing" for additional information on valuation techniques and inputs for MSRs.
Fair Value Option

The following table details the fair value and UPB of LHFS that were elected to be measured at fair value. Trading loans, included in other trading assets, were also elected to be measured at fair value.

Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements
The following table provides information about certain assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. The carrying values represent end of period values, which approximate the fair value measurements that occurred on the various measurement dates throughout the period. The valuation adjustments represent the amounts recorded during the period regardless of whether the asset is still held at period end. These assets are considered to be Level 3 assets (excludes PCI).

At March 31, 2020, LHFS consisted primarily of residential mortgages and commercial loans that were valued using market prices and measured at the lower of cost or market. The table above excludes $728 million of LHFS carried at cost at March 31, 2020. Excluding government guaranteed loans, the Company held $41 million in nonperforming LHFS at March 31, 2020 and $107 million of nonperforming LHFS at December 31, 2019. LHFS that were 90 days or more past due and still accruing interest were not material at March 31, 2020. Loans and leases are primarily collateral dependent and may be subject to liquidity adjustments. Refer to “Note 1. Basis of Presentation” for additional discussion of individually evaluated loans and leases. Foreclosed real estate is measured at the lower of cost or fair value less costs to sell and consists primarily of residential homes, commercial properties, and vacant lots.

Financial Instruments Not Recorded at Fair Value

For financial instruments not recorded at fair value, estimates of fair value are based on relevant market data and information about the instrument. Values obtained relate to one trading unit without regard to any premium or discount that may result from concentrations of ownership, possible tax ramifications, estimated transaction costs that may result from bulk sales or the relationship between various instruments.

An active market does not exist for certain financial instruments. Fair value estimates for these instruments are based on current economic conditions, currency and interest rate risk characteristics, loss experience and other factors. Many of these estimates involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and cannot be determined with precision. Therefore, the fair value estimates in many instances cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets. In addition, changes in assumptions could significantly affect these fair value estimates. Financial assets and liabilities not recorded at fair value are summarized below:
