Collateralized mortgage obligations, including approximately $79 million secured by “ALT-A” mortgages, represented the remaining 5% of residential mortgage-backed securities; virtually all have credit ratings of AA or AAA.

 

(b) Our Enhanced Short-term portfolio is used primarily to invest cash proceeds of securities lending and repurchase activities, and cash generated from certain trading and operating activities. The investment policy statement of this portfolio requires that securities purchased for this portfolio have a remaining expected average life of 2 years or less when acquired.

 

(c) Primarily includes externally managed investments in the European market of $1.8 billion, and securities collateralized by credit card receivables and automobile loans. Also included are collateralized debt obligations with amortized cost of $142 million and fair value of $155 million, none secured by sub-prime mortgages.
