Fair Value, Measurement Inputs, Disclosure [Text Block]

The following tables display the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The Company often economically hedges the fair value change of its assets or liabilities with derivatives and other financial instruments. The tables below display the hedges separately from the hedged items, and therefore do not directly display the impact of the Company’s risk management activities.

Fair Value Inputs, Assets, Quantitative Information [Table Text Block]

The table below presents information about the significant unobservable inputs used by the third-party pricing provider in the fair value measurement of the Company’s MSR classified as Level 3 fair value assets at March 31, 2015:



As of March 31, 2015
Valuation Technique	Unobservable Input ⁽¹⁾	Range				Weighted Average
Discounted cash flow	Constant prepayment speed	11.0	-	15.0	%	13.1%
	Delinquency	4.4	-	5.0	%	4.6%
	Discount rate	8.5	-	11.2	%	9.9%

___________________


(1)	Significant increases/(decreases) in any of the inputs in isolation may result in significantly lower/(higher) fair value measurement. A change in the assumption used for discount rates may be accompanied by a directionally similar change in the assumption used for the probability of delinquency and a directionally opposite change in the assumption used for prepayment rates.

(1)	Interest income on residential mortgage loans held-for-sale and residential mortgage loans held-for-investment in securitization trusts is measured by multiplying the unpaid principal balance on the loans by the coupon rate and the number of days of interest due.


(2)	The change in fair value due to credit risk on residential mortgage loans held-for-sale was quantified by holding yield constant in the cash flow model in order to isolate credit risk component.


(3)	The change in fair value on residential mortgage loans held-for-investment in securitization trusts and collateralized borrowings in securitization trusts was due entirely to changes in market interest rates.
