The short notional amount on our credit default swap positions was approximately $1.9 billion and $2.6 billion as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. However, because credit spreads cannot compress below zero, our downside short notional exposure to loss is $326 million and $472 million as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.
