Fair Values of Assets and Liabilities
Fair Values of Assets and Liabilities

For a description of the fair value hierarchy and Schwab’s fair value methodologies, including the use of independent third-party pricing services, see Note 2. We did not transfer any assets or liabilities between Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3 during 2017 or 2016. In addition, the Company did not adjust prices received from the primary independent third-party pricing service at December 31, 2017 or 2016.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The following tables present the fair value hierarchy for assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis. Liabilities recorded at fair value were not material, and therefore are not included in the following tables:
