[1] Netting is performed at a counterparty level in cases where enforceable master netting agreements are in place, regardless of the type of derivative instrument. Therefore, we have not allocated netting to the different types of derivative instruments shown in the table above.

[2] Represents the netting of derivative receivable and payable balances for the same counterparty under enforceable netting agreements.

[3] Represents counterparty and cash collateral netting which allow the offsetting of amounts relating to certain contracts if certain conditions are met.

[4] See Note 11, "Fair Value Option," for additional information. Excluding the fair value movement on fair value option liabilities attributable to our own credit spread, which is recorded in other comprehensive income (loss), fair value option assets and liabilities are recorded at fair value through net income (loss).

[5] Includes trading derivative assets of $1,971 million and $2,801 million and trading derivative liabilities of $1,633 million and $2,358 million at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, as well as derivatives held for hedging and commitments accounted for as derivatives. See Note 10, "Derivative Financial Instruments," for additional information. Excluding changes in fair value of a derivative instrument associated with a qualifying cash flow hedge, which are recognized initially in other comprehensive income (loss), derivative assets and liabilities are recorded at fair value through net income (loss).

[6] Consists of swap agreements entered into in conjunction with the sales of Visa Class B Shares.

[7] Securities available-for-sale are recorded at fair value through other comprehensive income (loss). Changes in the allowance for credit losses on securities available-for-sale are recorded through net income (loss).

[8] Investments that are measured at fair value using the net asset value per share practical expedient have not been classified in the fair value hierarchy.
