Financial Instruments [Abstract]

Schedule of Notional Amounts of Outstanding Derivative Positions

At September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the volume of our derivative activities based on their notional exposure, categorized by primary underlying risk, is as follows:

	September 30, 2015								December 31, 2014
	Long Notional Exposure				Short Notional Exposure				Long Notional Exposure				Short Notional Exposure
Primary underlying risk:	(in millions)
Credit swaps(1)	$	201			$	1,619			$	389			$	1,493
Equity swaps	1				15,957				1				11,312
Foreign currency forwards	—				866				—				1,578
Interest rate swap contracts(2)	—				137				—				137
Commodity contracts	40				632				36				234

⁽¹⁾ The short notional amount on our credit swap positions is approximately $7.9 billion and $9.3 billion as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. However, because credit spreads cannot compress below zero, our downside short notional exposure to loss is approximately $1.6 billion and $1.5 billion as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

⁽²⁾ The short notional amount on certain of our interest rate contracts with a three month duration is approximately $16.0 billion as of both September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014. We assume that interest rates will not fall below zero and therefore our downside short notional exposure to loss on these contracts is $74 million (of the total $137 million disclosed in the above table) as of both September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.
