[1] | The valuation of private equity securities utilizes net asset values as reported by fund managers. Net asset values are not considered observable as the Bank cannot redeem these instruments at such values. The range for net asset values per unit or price per share has not been disclosed for these instruments since the valuations are not model-based.
[2] | The range of estimates represents the actual lowest and highest level inputs used to fair value financial instruments within each financial statement category.
