(1)Value of our investments in VIEs, as presented in this table, generally represents the fair value of the economic interests we own in VIEs (i.e., the securities or other interests we legally own in the consolidated securitizations or other VIEs). While most of our VIEs are accounted for under the CFE election (whereby the net equity in the VIE generally represents the fair value of our retained interests and associated accrued interest receivable), certain entities, including two CAFL bridge loan securitizations (included within the CAFL column), our SLST re-securitization (included within the Freddie Mac SLST column), and our Servicing Investment VIEs are not accounted for under the CFE election and their associated ABS issued are accounted for at amortized historical cost. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the fair value of our interests in the CAFL term loan securitizations accounted for under the CFE election were $333 million and $323 million, respectively, and the fair value of our interest in the CAFL bridge loan securitizations accounted for under the CFE election was $21 million and $22 million, respectively, with the difference from the tables above generally representing ABS issued and carried at amortized historical cost and accrued interest on our economic interests. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the fair value of our interests in the Freddie Mac SLST securitizations accounted for under the CFE election were $271 million and $274 million, respectively, with the difference from the tables above representing ABS issued and carried at amortized historical cost.
The following tables present income (loss) from these VIEs for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.

(1)Maximum loss exposure from our involvement with unconsolidated VIEs pertains to the carrying value of our securities and MSRs retained from these VIEs and represents estimated losses that would be incurred under severe, hypothetical circumstances, such as if the value of our interests and any associated collateral declines to zero. This does not include, for example, any potential exposure to representation and warranty claims associated with our initial transfer of loans into a securitization.
