Note 1 Significant Accounting Policies	Note 1 Significant Accounting Policies Business Capital One Financial Corporation (the Corporation) is a diversified financial services company whose banking and non-banking subsidiaries market a variety of financial products and services. The Corporations principal subsidiaries are: Capital One Bank (USA), National Association (COBNA) which currently offers credit and debit card products, other lending products and deposit products. Capital One, National Association (CONA) which offers a broad spectrum of banking products and financial services to consumers, small businesses and commercial clients. On February27, 2009, the Corporation acquired Chevy Chase Bank, F.S.B. (Chevy Chase Bank) for $475.9 million comprised of cash of $445.0 million and 2.56million shares of common stock valued at $30.9 million. Chevy Chase Bank has the largest retail branch presence in the Washington D.C. region. See Note 2 for more information regarding the acquisition. On July30, 2009 the Company merged Chevy Chase Bank with and into CONA. During the third quarter of 2009, the Company realigned its business segment reporting structure to better reflect the manner in which the performance of the Companys operations are evaluated. The Company now reports the results of its business through three operating segments: Credit Card, Commercial Banking and Consumer Banking. Segment and sub-segment results where presented have been recast for all periods presented. The three segments consist of the following: Credit Card includes the Companys domestic consumer and small business card lending, domestic national small business lending, national closed end installment lending and the international card lending businesses in Canada and the United Kingdom. Commercial Banking includes the Companys lending, deposit gathering and treasury management services to commercial real estate and middle market customers. The Commercial segment also includes the financial results of a national portfolio of small ticket commercial real estate loans that are in run-off mode. Consumer Banking includes the Companys branch based lending and deposit gathering activities for small business customers as well as its branch based consumer deposit gathering and lending activities, national deposit gathering, consumer mortgage lending and servicing activities and national automobile lending. The segment reorganization includes the allocation of Chevy Chase Bank to the appropriate segments. Chevy Chase Banks operations are included in the Commercial Banking and Consumer Banking segments beginning in the second quarter 2009. Chevy Chase Banks operations for the first quarter of 2009 remain in the Other category due to the short duration since acquisition. The Other category includes GreenPoint originated consumer mortgages originated for sale but held for investment since originations were suspended in 2007, the results of corporate treasury activities, including asset-liability management and the investment portfolio, the net impact of transfer pricing, brokered deposits, certain unallocated expenses, gains/losses related to

Note 2 Acquisitions	Note 2 Acquisitions Chevy Chase Bank On February27, 2009, the Company acquired all of the outstanding common stock of Chevy Chase Bank in exchange for Capital One common stock and cash with a total value of $475.9 million. Under the terms of the stock purchase agreement, Chevy Chase Bank common shareholders received $445.0 million in cash and 2.56million shares of Capital One common stock. In addition, to the extent that losses on certain of Chevy Chase Banks mortgage loans are less than the level reflected in the net credit mark estimated at the time the deal was signed, the Company will share a portion of the benefit with the former Chevy Chase Bank common shareholders (the earn-out). The maximum payment under the earn-out is $300.0 million and would occur after December31, 2013. As of September30, 2009, the Company has not recognized a liability nor does it expect to make any payments associated with the earn-out based on our expectations for credit losses on the portfolio. Subsequent to the closing of the acquisition all of the outstanding shares of preferred stock of Chevy Chase Bank and the subordinated debt of its wholly-owned REIT subsidiary, were redeemed. This acquisition improves the Companys core deposit funding base, increases readily available and committed liquidity, adds additional scale in bank operations, and brings a strong customer base in an attractive banking market. Chevy Chase Banks results of operations are included in the Companys results after the acquisition date of February27, 2009. The Chevy Chase Bank acquisition is being accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting. Accordingly, the purchase price was allocated to the acquired assets and liabilities based on their estimated fair values at the Chevy Chase Bank acquisition date, as summarized in the following table. Preliminary goodwill of $1.6 billion is calculated as the purchase premium after adjusting for the fair value of net assets acquired and represents the value expected from the synergies created through the scale, operational and product enhancement benefits that will result from combining the operations of the two companies. During the third quarter of 2009, the Company continued the analysis of the fair values and purchase price allocation of Chevy Chase Banks assets and liabilities. The Company recorded an increase to goodwill of $146.9 million as a result. The change was predominantly related to a reduction in the fair value of net loans. The Company has not finalized the analysis and still considers goodwill to be preliminary, except as it relates to deposits and borrowings. Upon completion of the analysis, the Company expects to recast previously presented information as if all adjustments to the purchase price allocation had occurred at the date of acquisition. The Company has not recast previously presented information as adjustments to the initial purchase price allocation made during the second and third quarters of 2009 have not been considered material. The fair value of the non-controlling interest was calculated based on the redemption price of the interests, as well as any accrued but unpaid dividends. The shares o

Notes to Financial Statements [Abstract]
Note 3 Loans Acquired in a Transfer	Note 3 Loans Acquired in a Transfer The Companys acquired loans from the Chevy Chase Bank acquisition, subject to ASC 805-10/SFAS 141(R), are recorded at fair value and no separate valuation allowance is recorded at the date of acquisition. The Company is required to review each loan at acquisition to determine if it should be accounted for under ASC 310-10/SOP03-3 and if so, determines whether each such loan is to be accounted for individually or whether such loans will be aggregated into pools of loans based on common risk characteristics. The Company has performed its analysis of the loans to be accounted for as impaired under ASC 310-10/SOP03-3 (Impaired Loans in the tables below). The loans acquired with the Chevy Chase Bank acquisition not accounted for under ASC 310-10/SOP03-3 have been accounted for under ASC 805-10/SFAS 141(R) (Non-Impaired Loans in the tables below) and are considered performing. The accounting treatment is essentially the same under both standards. The disclosure requirements under ASC 310-10/SOP03-3 are more extensive, though the Company has elected to provide such disclosures for all of the acquired Chevy Chase Bank loans. During the evaluation of whether a loan was considered impaired under ASC 310-10/SOP03-3 or performing under ASC 805-10/SFAS 141(R), the Company considered a number of factors, including the delinquency status of the loan, payment options and other loan features (i.e. reduced documentation, interest only, or negative amortization features), the geographic location of the borrower or collateral and the risk rating assigned to the loans. Based on the criteria, the Company considered the entire Chevy Chase Bank option arm, hybrid arm and construction to permanent portfolios to be impaired and accounted for under ASC 310-10/SOP03-3. Portions of the Chevy Chase Bank commercial loan, auto, HELOC and other consumer loan portfolios and the fixed mortgage portfolio were also considered impaired. The Company makes an estimate of the total cash flows it expects to collect from the loans (or pools of loans), which includes undiscounted expected principal and interest. The excess of that amount over the fair value of the loans is referred to as accretable yield. Accretable yield is recognized as interest income on a constant yield basis over the life of the loans. The Company also determines the loans contractual principal and contractual interest payments. The excess of that amount over the total cash flows it expects to collect from the loans is referred to as nonaccretable difference, which is not accreted into income. Judgmental prepayment assumptions are applied to both contractually required payments and cash flows expected to be collected at acquisition. The Company continues to estimate cash flows expected to be collected over the life of the loans. Subsequent increases in total cash flows it expects to collect are recognized as an adjustment to the accretable yield with the amount of periodic accretion adjusted over the remaining life of the loans. Subsequent decreases in cash flows expected to be collected over the life of the loans are recognized as impairment in the current period throu

Note 4 Discontinued Operations	Note 4 Discontinued Operations Shutdown of Mortgage Origination Operations of Wholesale Mortgage Banking Unit In the third quarter of 2007, the Company shut down the mortgage origination operations of its wholesale mortgage banking unit, GreenPoint Mortgage (GreenPoint). GreenPoint was acquired by the Company in December 2006 as part of the North Fork acquisition. The results of the mortgage origination operations of GreenPoint have been accounted for as a discontinued operation and have been removed from the Companys results from continuing operations for the three and nine months ended September30, 2009 and 2008. The Company will have no significant continuing involvement in the operations of the originate and sell business of GreenPoint. The loss from discontinued operations for the three and nine months ended September30, 2009 includes an expense of $83.0 million and $109.0 million, respectively, recorded in non-interest expense, for representations and warranties provided by the Company on loans previously sold to third parties by GreenPoints mortgage origination operation. The expense for representations and warranties is offset by a valuation adjustment for expected returns of spread account funding for certain securitization transactions. The following is summarized financial information for discontinued operations related to the closure of the Companys wholesale mortgage banking unit: ThreeMonthsEnded September 30 NineMonthsEnded September 30 2009 2008 2009 2008 Net interest income $ $ 1,612 $ 776 $ 5,332 Non-interest income 2,150 2,287 2,275 5,517 Non-interest expense 69,853 22,125 118,837 175,577 Income tax benefit (24,116 ) (6,576 ) (41,243 ) (59,434 ) Loss from discontinued operations, net of taxes $ (43,587 ) $ (11,650 ) $ (74,543 ) $ (105,294 ) The Companys wholesale mortgage banking unit had assets of approximately $31.5 million as of September30, 2009 consisting of $15.8 million of mortgage loans held for sale and other related assets. The related liabilities consisted of obligations to fund these assets, and obligations for representations and warranties provided by the Company on loans previously sold to third parties.

Note 5 Segments	Note 5 Segments During the third quarter of 2009, the Company realigned its business segment reporting structure to better reflect the manner in which the performance of the Companys operations are evaluated. The Company now reports the results of its business through three operating segments: Credit Card, Commercial Banking and Consumer Banking. Segment and sub-segment results where presented have been recast for all periods presented. The three segments consist of the following: Credit Card includes the Companys domestic consumer and small business card lending, domestic national small business lending, national closed end installment lending and the international card lending businesses in Canada and the United Kingdom. Commercial Banking includes the Companys lending, deposit gathering and treasury management services to commercial real estate and middle market customers. The Commercial segment also includes the financial results of a national portfolio of small ticket commercial real estate loans that are in run-off mode. Consumer Banking includes the Companys branch based lending and deposit gathering activities for small business customers as well as its branch based consumer deposit gathering and lending activities, national deposit gathering, consumer mortgage lending and servicing activities and national automobile lending. The segment reorganization includes the allocation of Chevy Chase Bank to the appropriate segments. Chevy Chase Banks operations are included in the Commercial Banking and Consumer Banking segments beginning in the second quarter 2009. Chevy Chase Banks operations for the first quarter of 2009 remain in the Other category due to the short duration since acquisition. The Other category includes GreenPoint originated consumer mortgages originated for sale but held for investment since originations were suspended in 2007, the results of corporate treasury activities, including asset-liability management and the investment portfolio, the net impact of transfer pricing, brokered deposits, certain unallocated expenses, gains/losses related to the securitization of assets, and restructuring charges related to the Companys cost initiative and Chevy Chase Bank acquisition. The Company maintains its books and records on a legal entity basis for the preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP.

Note 7 Fair Values of Assets and Liabilities	Note 7 Fair Values of Assets and Liabilities ASC 820-10/SFAS157 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820-10/SFAS157 requires that valuation techniques maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. ASC 820-10/SFAS157 also establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the valuation inputs into three broad levels. Based on the underlying inputs, each fair value measurement in its entirety is reported in one of the three levels. These levels are: Level 1Valuation is based upon quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets. Level 1 assets and liabilities include debt and equity securities traded in an active exchange market, as well as U.S. Treasury securities. Level 2Valuation is based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 3Valuation is determined using model-based techniques with significant assumptions not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect the Companys own estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Valuation techniques include the use of third party pricing services, option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques. ASC 825-10/SFAS 159 allows an entity the irrevocable option to elect fair value for the initial and subsequent measurement for certain financial assets and liabilities on a contract-by-contract basis. The Company has not made any material ASC 825-10/SFAS 159 elections as of the end of the third quarter of 2009.

Note 8 Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets	Note 8 Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets During the first quarter of 2009, the Company acquired Chevy Chase Bank, the largest retail branch presence in the Washington, D.C. region, which created $1.6 billion of goodwill. The goodwill associated with the acquisition of Chevy Chase Bank was initially held in the Other category. During the third quarter of 2009, the Company realigned its business segment reporting structure to better reflect the manner in which the performance of the Companys operations are evaluated. The Company now reports the results of its business through three operating segments: Credit Card, Commercial Banking and Consumer Banking. As a result goodwill was reassigned to the new reporting units using a relative fair value allocation approach. As part of the segment reorganization in the third quarter of 2009, discussed below, the goodwill associated with the Chevy Chase Bank acquisition was assigned to the Commercial Banking and Consumer Banking segments. See Note 2 for information regarding the Chevy Chase Bank acquisition. Goodwill impairment is tested at the reporting unit level, which is an operating segment or one level below on an annual basis. The Companys reporting units are Domestic Card, International Card, Auto, Commercial Banking, and Retail Banking, which is comprised of in footprint retail banking and residential mortgage activities. The goodwill impairment analysis is a two-step test. The first step, used to identify potential impairment, involves comparing each reporting units fair value to its carrying value including goodwill. If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, applicable goodwill is considered not to be impaired. If the carrying value exceeds fair value, there is an indication of impairment and the second step is performed to measure the amount of impairment. The Company has continued to monitor its market capitalization, regulatory actions and assessments, as well as overall economic conditions and other events or circumstances. The following table provides a summary of goodwill.

Notes to Financial Statements [Abstract]
Note 11 Mortgage Servicing Rights	Note 11 Mortgage Servicing Rights MSRs are recognized in conjunction with loan sales and securitization transactions when servicing rights are retained or acquired by the Company; changes in fair value are recognized in mortgage servicing and other income. The Company may enter into derivatives to economically hedge changes in fair value of MSRs. The Company has sold mortgage loans through whole loan sale transactions, and in some instances the loans were subsequently securitized by the third party purchaser and transferred into a VIE, and also through securitization transactions. The Company records the MSR at estimated fair value and has no other loss exposure in excess of the recorded fair value. The Company continues to operate the mortgage servicing business and to report the changes in the fair value of MSRs in continuing operations. To evaluate and measure fair value, the underlying loans are stratified based on certain risk characteristics, including loan type, note rate and investor servicing requirements. The following table sets forth the changes in the fair value of mortgage servicing rights during the three and nine months ended September30, 2009 and September30, 2008: ThreeMonthsEnded September30 NineMonthsEnded September30 Mortgage Servicing Rights: 2009 2008 2009 2008 Balance, beginning of period $ 280,742 $ 232,423 $ 150,544 $ 247,589 Acquired in acquisitions (1) 109,538 Originations 6,532 13,772 Sales (273 ) Change in fair value, net (15,756 ) (5,322 ) (2,336 ) (20,215 ) Balance, end of period $ 271,518 $ 227,101 $ 271,518 $ 227,101 Ratio of mortgage servicing rights to related loans serviced for others 0.88 % 0.90 % 0.88 % 0.90 % ThreeMonthsEnded September30 NineMonthsEnded September30 Mortgage Servicing Rights: 2009 2008 2009 2008 Weighted average service fee 0.29 0.28 0.29 0.28 (1) Related to the Chevy Chase Bank acquisition completed on February27, 2009. Fair value adjustments to the MSRs for the three and nine months ended September30, 2009 included a $7.9 million and $21.9 million decrease due to run-off, respectively, and a $7.9 million decrease and $19.6 million increase due to changes in the valuation inputs and assumptions, respectively. The valuation adjustments for the MSR were partially offset by changes in the fair value of economic hedging instruments of $10.3 million and $15.4 million for the three months ended September30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, which were recognized in non-interest income. For additional information on hedging activities, refer to Note 13. The significant assumptions used in estimating the fair value of the servicing assets at September30, 2009 and 2008 were as follows: September30, 2009 September30, 2008 Weighted average prepayment rate (includes default rate) 18.04 % 22.61 % Weig

Notes to Financial Statements [Abstract]
Note 12 Restructuring	Note 12 Restructuring During the second quarter of 2007, the Company announced a broad-based initiative to reduce expenses and improve the competitive cost position of the Company. Restructuring initiatives leverage the capabilities of recently completed infrastructure projects in several of the Companys businesses. The scope and timing of the expected cost reductions are the result of an ongoing, comprehensive review of operations within and across the Companys businesses, which began early in 2007. The Company anticipates recording charges of approximately $60.0 million in excess of the original $300.0 million pre-tax over the course of the cost reduction initiative as the Company has extended the initiative due to the continued economic deterioration. Approximately half of these charges are related to severance benefits, while the remaining charges are associated with items such as contract and lease terminations and consolidation of facilities and infrastructure. Since the start of the initiative the Company has incurred charges of $340.1million. The Company has recorded certain restructuring charges within the income statement associated with the integration of Chevy Chase Bank into the operations of the Company. Expenses for employee termination benefits presented below represent one-time activities and do not represent ongoing costs to fully integrate Chevy Chase Bank. The Company also expects to incur costs associated with contract and lease terminations and consolidation of facilities and infrastructure. Restructuring expenses associated with continuing operations were comprised of the following: ChevyChase Acquisition 2007 Company Initiative Threemonths ended September30, 2009 Ninemonths ended September30, 2009 Threemonths ended September30, 2009 Ninemonths ended September30, 2009 Restructuring expenses: Employee termination benefits $ 5,542 $ 19,953 $ 8,448 $ 36,339 Communication and data processing 40 745 Supplies and equipment 406 3,135 Occupancy 9,817 21,248 Other 2,104 5,938 Total restructuring expenses $ 5,542 $ 19,953 $ 20,815 $ 67,405 Employee termination benefits include for the 2007 company initiative charges for executives of the Company for the three and nine months ended September30, 2009 of $6.2 million and $9.5 million, respectively, and charges for associates of $2.2 million and $26.8 million for the three and nine months ended September30, 2009, respectively.

Notes to Financial Statements [Abstract]
Note 13 Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities	Note 13 Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities The Company manages market risk within conservative limitsgoverned by its risk management policies as established by the Asset and Liability Management Committee (ALCO) and approved by the Board of Directors.The Company utilizes derivatives to manage and position its sensitivity within the approved limits.These derivatives are used to primarily manage risk related to changes in interest rates and to a lesser extent, foreign exchange rates.The Company uses interest rate swaps, interest rate caps, floors, options, futures and forward contracts to manage interest rate risk. By using derivative instruments, the Company is exposed to credit and market risk on those derivative positions. The Company manages both market risk and credit risk associated with interest rate and foreign exchange contracts by establishing and monitoring limits as to the types and degree of risk that may be undertaken. Credit risk is equal to the extent of the fair value gain in a derivative, if the counterparty fails to perform. When the fair value of a derivative contract is positive, this generally indicates that the counterparty owes the Company, and, therefore, creates a repayment risk for the Company. When the fair value of a derivative contract is negative, the Company owes the counterparty, and therefore, has no repayment risk. The Company minimizes the credit (or repayment) risk in derivative instruments by entering into transactions with high-quality counterparties that are reviewed periodically. The Company also maintains a policy of requiring that all derivative contracts be governed by an International Swaps and Derivatives Association Master Agreement; depending on the nature of the derivative transaction, bilateral collateral agreements are generally required as well. The Company uses interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps generally involve the exchange of fixed and variable rate interest payments between two parties, based on a common notional principal amount and maturity date with no exchange of underlying principal amounts. As a result of interest rate fluctuations, assets and liabilities hedged by fair value instruments will appreciate or depreciate in market value. To the extent that there is a high degree of correlation between the hedged asset or liability and the derivative instrument, the income or loss generated will generally offset the effect of this unrealized appreciation or depreciation. The Companys foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities expose it to foreign currency exchange risk. The Company enters into various foreign exchange derivative contracts for managing foreign currency exchange risk. Changes in the fair value of the derivative instrument effectively offset the related foreign exchange gains or losses on the items to which they are designated. The Company has non-trading and trading derivatives that do not qualify as accounting hedges. These derivatives are in many cases associated with asset, liability, and securitization transactions or may be used outright to manage our interest rate risk exp

Note 14 Securitizations	Note 14 Securitizations The Company engages in securitization transactions of loans for funding purposes. The Company receives the proceeds from third party investors for securities issued from the Companys securitization trusts which are collateralized by transferred receivables from the Companys portfolio. The Company removes loans from the reported financial statements for securitizations that qualify as sales in accordance with ASC 860-10/SFAS 140. Alternatively, when the transfer is not considered a sale but rather a financing, the assets will remain on the Companys reported financial statements with an offsetting liability recognized in the amount of proceeds received. The Company uses QSPEs to conduct off-balance sheet securitization activities and SPEs that are considered VIEs to conduct other securitization activities. Interests in the securitized and sold loans may be retained in the form of interest-only strips, retained senior tranches, retained subordinated tranches, cash collateral accounts, cash reserve accounts and unpaid interest and fees on the investors portion of the transferred principal receivables. The Company also retains a transferors interest in the securitized non mortgage loan receivables transferred to the trusts which is carried on a historical cost basis and reported as loans held for investment on the Reported Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Notes to Financial Statements [Abstract]
Note 15 Commitments, Contingencies and Guarantees	Note 15 Commitments, Contingencies and Guarantees Letters of Credit The Company issues letters of credit (financial standby, performance standby and commercial) to meet the financing needs of its customers. Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party in a borrowing arrangement. Commercial letters of credit are short-term commitments issued primarily to facilitate trade finance activities for customers and are generally collateralized by the goods being shipped to the client. Collateral requirements are similar to those for funded transactions and are established based on managements credit assessment of the customer. Management conducts regular reviews of all outstanding letters of credit and customer acceptances, and the results of these reviews are considered in assessing the adequacy of the Companys allowance for loan and lease losses. The Company had contractual amounts of standby letters of credit and commercial letters of credit of $1.4 billion at September30, 2009. As of September30, 2009, financial guarantees had expiration dates ranging from 2009 to 2018. The fair value of the guarantees outstanding at September30, 2009 that have been issued since January1, 2003, was $2.6 million and was included in other liabilities. Loan and Line of Credit Commitments The Companys discontinued wholesale mortgage banking unit, GreenPoint, previously sold home equity lines of credit in whole loan sales and subsequently acquired a residual interest in certain SPEs which securitized some of those loans. Those SPEs had aggregate assets of $80.8 million at September30, 2009, representing the amount outstanding on the home equity lines of credit at that date. As residual interest holder, GreenPoint is required to fund advances on the home equity lines of credit when certain performance triggers are met due to deterioration in asset performance. GreenPoints ability to recover the full amount advanced to customers is dependent on monthly collections on the loans. In certain limited circumstances, such future advances could be reduced if GreenPoint suspends the right of mortgagors to receive draws or reduces the credit limit on home equity lines of credit. There are eight securitization transactions where GreenPoint is a residual interest holder with the longest draw period currently extending through 2023. GreenPoint has funded $22.2 million of advances through September30, 2009, of which $1.1 million and $6.5million was advanced in the three and nine months ended September30, 2009, respectively, related to these transactions. The Company believes it is probable that a loss has been incurred on these transactions due to the deterioration in asset performance through September30, 2009, and has written off the entire amount of the advances as incurred. The maximum potential amount of future advances related to all third-party securitizations where GreenPoint is the residual interest holder is $108.9 million, an amount which represents the total loan amount on the home equity lines of credit within those eight securitizations. The total unutilized amoun

Notes to Financial Statements [Abstract]
Note 16 Other Variable Interest Entities	Note 16 Other Variable Interest Entities The Company has various types of off-balance sheet arrangements that we enter into in the ordinary course of business. Off-balance sheet activities typically utilize SPEs that may be in the form of limited liability companies, partnerships or trusts. The SPEs raise funds by issuing debt to third party investors. The SPEs hold various types of financial assets whose cash flows are the primary source of repayment for the liabilities of the SPE. Investors only have recourse to the assets held by the SPE but may also benefit from other credit enhancements. The Company is involved with various SPEs that are considered to be VIEs, as defined by ASC 810-10/FIN 46(R). With respect to its investments, the Company is required to consolidate any VIE in which it is determined to be the primary beneficiary. The Company reviews all significant interests in VIEs it is involved with such as amounts and types of financial and other support including ownership interests, debt financing and guarantees. The Company also considers its rights and obligations as well as the rights and obligations of other variable interest holders to determine whether it is required to consolidate the VIEs. To provide the necessary disclosures, the Company aggregates similar VIEs based on the nature and purpose of the entities. The Companys involvement in these arrangements can take many different forms, including securitization activities, servicing activities, the purchase or sale of mortgage-backed securities (MBS) and other asset-backed securities (ABS) in connection with our investment portfolio, and loans to VIEs that hold debt, equity, real estate or other assets. In certain instances, the Company also provides guarantees to VIEs or holders of variable interests in VIEs. In addition to the information contained in this Note, the Company has disclosed its involvement with other types of VIEs in Note 11Mortgage Servicing Rights, Note 14Securitizations and Note 15Commitments, Contingencies and Guarantees. The Company may purchase and sell mortgage-backed securities and other asset-backed securities related to its investment portfolio. The Companys investment portfolio consists of commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS), collateralized mortgage obligations (CMO), MBS and ABS investments that were issued by QSPEs or VIEs that are subject to the requirements of ASC 810-10/FIN 46(R). The Companys variable interest in these structures is limited to high quality or investment grade securities and the Company does not hold subordinate residual interests or enter into other guarantees or liquidity agreements with these structures. The Company records its investment securities at fair value and has no other loss exposure over and above the recorded fair value. The Company is not considered to be the primary beneficiary and the Company does not hold a significant interest in any specific structure. As part of its community reinvestment initiatives, the Company invests in private investment funds that hold ownership interests in VIEs or provide debt financing to VIEs to support multi-family affordable housing properties.
