Fair Value, Assets Measured on Recurring Basis, Unobservable Input Reconciliation

The following tables present activity related to our level 3 financial assets during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Transfers into and out of level 3 are reported as of the beginning of the period presented. During the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, transfers into level 3 were primarily related to collateralized loan obligations, for which fair value was measured using information obtained from third party sources, including non-binding broker/dealer quotes. During the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, transfers out of level 3 were mainly related to collateralized loan obligations, certain MBS and non-U.S. debt securities, for which fair value was measured using prices based on observable market information.

Fair Value Inputs, Quantitative Information

The following table presents quantitative information, as of the dates indicated, about the valuation techniques and significant unobservable inputs used in the valuation of our level 3 financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis for which we use internally-developed pricing models. The significant unobservable inputs for our level 3 financial assets and liabilities whose fair value is measured using pricing information from non-binding broker/dealer quotes are not included in the table, as the specific inputs applied are not provided by the broker/dealer.


	Quantitative Information about Level 3 Fair Value Measurements
	Fair Value						Range			Weighted-Average
(Dollars in millions)	As of December 31, 2020		As of December 31, 2019		Valuation Technique	Significant Unobservable Input(1)	As of December 31, 2020			As of December 31, 2020		As of December 31, 2019
Significant unobservable inputs readily available to State Street:
Assets:
Derivative Instruments, foreign exchange contracts	$	2	$	4	Option model	Volatility	5.7%	-	10.3%	7.9	%	8.2	%
Total	$	2	$	4
