(1) Our Enhanced Short-term portfolio is used primarily to invest cash proceeds of securities lending and repurchase activities, commercial paper issuances 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.


(2) The weighted average estimated subordination percentage of our general account asset-backed securities collateralized by sub-prime mortgages attributable to the Financial Services Businesses, excluding those supported by guarantees from monoline bond insurers, was 32% as of March 31, 2009. The subordination percentage represents the current weighted average estimated percentage of the capital structure subordinated to our investment holding that is available to absorb losses before the security incurs the first dollar loss of principal. As of March 31, 2009, based on amortized cost, approximately 83% of these asset-backed securities collateralized by sub-prime mortgages have estimated credit subordination percentages of 20% or more, and 45% have estimated credit subordination percentages of 30% or more.

In addition to subordination, certain securities, referred to as front pay or second pay securities, benefit from the prioritization of principal cash flows within the senior tranches of the structure. In most instances, these shorter duration senior securities have priority to principal cash flows over other securities in the structure, including longer duration senior securities. Included within the $5.476 billion of asset-backed securities collateralized by sub-prime mortgages attributable to the Financial Services Businesses as of March 31, 2009 were $1.536 billion of securities, on an amortized cost basis, that represent front pay or second pay securities, depending on the overall structure of the securities.

 

(3) Externally managed investments in the European markets reflects our investment in medium term notes that are collateralized by portfolios of assets primarily consisting of European fixed income securities and derivatives, including 43% European corporate and bank bonds, 19% bank capital, 13% European asset-backed securities, and 25% other. As of March 31, 2009, the amortized cost and fair value shown in the table above includes the $(739) million impact of a bifurcated embedded derivative.

 

(4) Includes collateralized debt obligations with amortized cost of $470 million and fair value of $326 million, with less than 1% secured by sub-prime mortgages. Also includes asset backed-securities collateralized by education loans, equipment leases, timeshares, aircraft, and franchises.

Excluded from the table above are asset-backed securities held outside the general account in other entities and operations with amortized cost of $241 million and fair value of $222 million. Based on amortized cost, 85% of these securities have credit ratings of AAA, 1% have A A credit ratings, 2% have A credit ratings, and the remaining 12% have credit ratings of BBB or below. As of March 31, 2009, included within these asset-backed securities are securities collateralized by sub-prime mortgages with amortized cost and fair value of $3 million, all of which have AAA credit ratings, with $2 million in the 2006 vintage and $1 million in the 2003 vintage. As of March 31, 2009 there were no collateralized debt obligations held outside the general account in other entities and operations.

Also excluded from the table above are asset-backed securities classified as trading and carried at fair value, including $0.5 billion of trading account assets supporting insurance liabilities, the investment results of which we expect will ultimately accrue to contract holders. An additional $1.1 billion of asset-backed securities as of March 31, 2009 are classified as other trading, including $23 million held outside the general account, 99% of which have credit ratings of AAA, and 1% of which have credit ratings of B and $1.1 billion included in our general account, 92% of asset-backed securities attributable to the Financial Services Businesses have credit ratings of A or above and the remaining 8% virtually all have BBB credit ratings.

Collateralized mortgage obligations, including approximately $46 million secured by “ALT-A” mortgages, represented the remaining $183 million of residential mortgage-backed securities; and 79% have credit ratings of A or above, and the remaining 21% with B credit ratings or higher.

Excluded from the above are residential mortgage-backed securities held outside the general account in other entities and operations with amortized cost of $784 million and fair value of $800 million, virtually all of which have AAA credit ratings.

(1) The weighted average estimated subordination percentage of our general account investments in commercial mortgage-backed securities attributable to the Financial Services Businesses was 33% as of March 31, 2009. The subordination percentage represents the current weighted average estimated percentage of the capital structure subordinated to our investment holding that is available to absorb losses before the security incurs the first dollar loss of principal. The weighted average estimated subordination percentage includes an adjustment for that portion of the capital structure which has been effectively defeased by US Treasury securities. As of March 31, 2009, based on amortized cost, approximately 93% of these commercial mortgage-backed securities have estimated credit subordination percentages of 20% or more, and 78% have estimated credit subordination percentages of 30% or more.
(2) Included in the table above are commercial mortgage-backed securities collateralized by non-U.S. properties with amortized cost of $10 million in AAA, $4 million in AA, $32 million in A, $183 million in BBB and $129 million in BB and below.

Excluded from the table above are commercial mortgage-backed securities held outside the general account in other entities and operations with amortized cost of $65 million and fair value of $59 million, 89% of which have credit ratings of A or better and the remaining 11% have credit ratings of BB and below. Also excluded from the table above are commercial mortgage-backed securities classified as trading and carried at fair value, including $2.1 billion of trading account assets supporting insurance liabilities, the investment results of which we expect will ultimately accrue to contract holders, and $117 million of other trading account assets.

An additional $1 million of commercial mortgage-backed securities held outside the general account as of March 31, 2009 are classified as other trading, all of which have AAA credit ratings.
