Fair Values of Assets and Liabilities

6.Fair Values of Assets and Liabilities

 

For a description of the fair value hierarchy and the Company’s fair value methodologies, including the use of independent third-party pricing services, see note “2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. There were no significant changes in these methodologies during the quarter ended March 31, 2014. The Company did not transfer any assets or liabilities between Level 1 and Level 2 during the quarter ended March 31, 2014, or the year ended December 31, 2013. In addition, the Company did not adjust prices received from the primary independent third-party pricing service at March 31, 2014 or December 31, 2013.

The carrying value of loans to banking clients excludes the allowance for loan losses of $48 million at December 31, 2013.

 

Securities lending: Payables from brokers, dealers, and clearing organizations include securities loaned. The Company loans client securities temporarily to other brokers in connection with its securities lending activities and receives cash as collateral for the securities loaned. The fair value of client securities pledged in securities lending transactions to other broker-dealers was  $1.4 billion at March 31, 2014 and  $1.1 billion at December 31, 2013.  The Company has also pledged a portion of its securities owned in connection with securities lending transactions to other broker-dealers. Additionally, the Company borrows securities from other broker-dealers to fulfill short sales by clients, which are included in receivables from brokers, dealers, and clearing organizations. The fair value of these borrowed securities was  $142 million at March 31, 2014 and  $276 million at December 31, 2013. All of the Company’s securities lending transactions are subject to enforceable master netting arrangements with other broker-dealers. However, the Company does not net securities lending transactions and therefore, the Company’s securities loaned and securities borrowed are presented gross in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

 

Resale agreements: Cash and investments segregated and on deposit for regulatory purposes include securities purchased under agreements to resell (resale agreements), which are collateralized by U.S. Government and agency securities. Schwab enters into collateralized resale agreements principally with other broker-dealers, which could result in losses in the event the counterparty fails to purchase the securities held as collateral for the cash advanced and the fair value of the securities declines. Schwab utilizes the collateral provided under these resale agreements to meet obligations under broker-dealer client protection rules, which place limitations on its ability to access such segregated securities. The Company’s resale agreements are not subject to master netting arrangements.
