Securitization Activities and Consolidation
Securitization and Consolidation
Nonconsolidated VIEs
The table below presents the carrying amounts and classification of the assets and liabilities recorded on our condensed consolidated balance sheets that relate to our variable interests in VIEs for which we are not the primary beneficiary and with which we were involved in the design and creation and have a significant continuing involvement, our maximum exposure to loss as a result of our involvement with such VIEs, and the total assets of the VIEs. Our involvement with such VIEs primarily consists of guarantees that we have issued to the VIE, some of which are accounted for as derivative instruments, and investments in debt securities issued by the VIE. See Note 4 for additional information on our guarantees to nonconsolidated VIEs.
Total assets shown in the table below represents the remaining UPB of the mortgage loans or other noncash financial assets held by the VIE and excludes cash and nonfinancial assets held by the VIE. Maximum exposure to loss shown in the table below is primarily based on the remaining UPB of the guaranteed securities issued by the VIE and represents the contractual amounts that could be lost if the assets of the VIE (including the assets in the related reference pool for CRT products) became worthless at the balance sheet date, without consideration of proceeds from related collateral liquidation and possible recoveries under credit enhancements. We do not believe the maximum exposure to loss from our involvement with nonconsolidated VIEs is representative of the actual loss we are likely to incur based on our historical loss experience and after consideration of proceeds from related collateral liquidation and available credit enhancements.

(1)    Other assets primarily include our guarantee assets. Liabilities primarily include our guarantee obligations.
(2)    Total assets and maximum exposure to loss are primarily based on the UPB of Fannie Mae securities underlying commingled Freddie Mac resecuritization trusts. We exclude noncommingled resecuritization trusts from these amounts as we have already guaranteed the underlying collateral and therefore noncommingled resecuritizations do not involve any incremental assets or create any incremental exposure to credit risk.
(3)    Maximum exposure to loss is based on our expected recovery receivables and excludes our obligations to make certain payments to the VIE to support payment of the interest due on the notes issued by the VIE, which we account for as derivative instruments. The notional value of these derivative instruments is equal to the total assets of the VIE.
(4)    Maximum exposure to loss excludes the exposure related to advances made by us as guarantor or master servicer. The outstanding balance of guarantor advances were $0.3 billion and $0.4 billion as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. The outstanding balance of master servicer advances were not material for the periods presented.
Investments in Low Income Housing Tax Credits
We invest in LIHTC partnerships to support and preserve the supply of affordable housing. These investments do not provide us with a controlling financial interest in the underlying partnerships and we therefore do not consolidate these entities. We have elected to account for these investments using the proportional amortization method when applicable. The carrying amount of our investments in LIHTC partnerships is presented in other assets on our condensed consolidated balance sheets and totaled $5.3 billion as of March 31, 2026 and $5.2 billion as of December 31, 2025.
