Mortgage Servicing Rights
 Note 7  Mortgage Servicing Rights

The Company serviced $224.7 billion of residential mortgage loans for others at June 30, 2014, and $226.8 billion at December 31, 2013, which include subserviced mortgages with no corresponding MSRs asset. The net impact included in mortgage banking revenue of fair value changes of MSRs due to changes in valuation assumptions and derivatives used to economically hedge MSRs were net gains of $93 million (of which $44 million related to excess servicing rights sold during the second quarter of 2014) and $13 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and net gains of $151 million and $54 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Loan servicing fees, not including valuation changes, included in mortgage banking revenue, were $185 million and $187 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $373 million and $374 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Changes in fair value of capitalized MSRs are summarized as follows:

(a) Includes changes in MSR value associated with changes in market interest rates, including estimated prepayment rates and anticipated earnings on escrow deposits.
(b) Includes changes in MSR value not caused by changes in market interest rates, such as changes in cost to service, ancillary income, and discount rate, as well as the impact of any model changes.
(c) Primarily represents changes due to realization of expected cash flows over time (decay).

The estimated sensitivity to changes in interest rates of the fair value of the MSRs portfolio and the related derivative instruments was as follows:

The fair value of MSRs and their sensitivity to changes in interest rates is influenced by the mix of the servicing portfolio and characteristics of each segment of the portfolio. The Company’s servicing portfolio consists of the distinct portfolios of government-insured mortgages, conventional mortgages and Mortgage Revenue Bond Programs (“MRBP”). The servicing portfolios are predominantly comprised of fixed-rate agency loans with limited adjustable-rate or jumbo mortgage loans. The MRBP division specializes in servicing loans made under state and local housing authority programs. These programs provide mortgages to low-income and moderate-income borrowers and are generally government-insured programs with a favorable rate subsidy, down payment and/or closing cost assistance.
