Securitizations And Variable Interest Entities Disclosure [Abstract] |
Variable interest entities | Variable interest entities We have variable interests in variable interest entities (“VIEs”), which include investments in retail, institutional and alternative investment funds. We earn management fees from these funds, as well as performance fees in certain funds, and may also provide start-up capital for new funds. The funds are primarily financed by our customers’ investments in the funds’ equity or debt. Additionally, we invest in qualified affordable housing and renewable energy projects, which are designed to generate a return primarily through the realization of tax credits. The projects, which are structured as limited partnerships and limited liability companies, are also VIEs, but are not consolidated. The following table presents the incremental assets and liabilities included on the consolidated balance sheet as of Sept. 30, 2025 and Dec. 31, 2024. The net assets of any consolidated VIE are solely available to settle the liabilities of the VIE and to settle any investors’ ownership liquidation requests, including any seed capital we invested in the VIE.
