Variable Interest Entities

For additional information on our accounting policy and our use of variable interest entities (VIEs), refer to pages 168 to 169 in Note 14 to the consolidated financial statements included under Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, "Variable Interest Entities", in our 2021 Form 10-K.

Interests in Investment Funds

As of both March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had no consolidated funds. As of both March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we managed certain funds, considered VIEs, in which we held a variable interest but for which we were not deemed to be the primary beneficiary. Our potential maximum loss exposure related to these unconsolidated funds totaled $17 million as of both March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, and represented the carrying value of our investments, which are recorded in other assets in our consolidated statement of condition. The amount of loss we may recognize during any period is limited to the carrying amount of our investments in the unconsolidated funds.

We also held investments in low-income housing, production and investment tax credit entities, considered VIEs for which we were not deemed to be the primary beneficiary. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, our potential maximum loss exposure related to these unconsolidated entities totaled $1.66 billion and $1.69 billion, respectively, most of which represented the carrying value of our investments, which are recorded in other assets in our consolidated statement of condition.
