| Non-GAAP Measure Description [Text Block] | Through the use of PSUs, the amounts ultimately realized by our NEOs with respect to annual compensation are subject to ongoing performance metrics (absolute and relative ROE) and are further tied to the firm’s longer-term performance through stock price (settlement of PSUs and Shares at Risk delivered in respect thereof). Given the use of ROE in our annual PSUs, ROE has been selected as our “company-selected measure” to include in the table below. | ||
