The reclassifications had no impact on consolidated total revenue or total revenue for the business segments. Prior periods were reclassified to be comparable with the current period presentation. • Other trading revenue was reclassified from foreign exchange and other trading revenue to investment and other income. • Foreign exchange and other trading revenue was renamed foreign exchange revenue. • The impact of foreign currency remeasurement was reclassified from investment and other income to foreign exchange revenue. • Income (loss) from consolidated investment management funds was reclassified to investment and other income. • Investment and other income was reclassified from fee revenue to other revenue. Other revenue includes investment and other income and net securities gains (losses). In addition, the assets and liabilities of consolidated investment management funds were reclassified to other assets and other liabilities, respectively, on the consolidated balance sheet. The reclassifications had no impact on total assets or total liabilities. Prior periods were reclassified to be comparable with the current period presentation.
