Note 16: Fair Values of Assets and Liabilities (continued)
Alternative Investments
The following table summarizes our investments in various types
of funds, which are included in trading assets, securities
available for sale and other assets. We use the funds’ net asset
values (NAVs) per share as a practical expedient to measure fair
value on recurring and nonrecurring bases. The fair values
presented in the table are based upon the funds’ NAVs or an
equivalent measure.

(1) “Fair value” has been revised to correct previously reported amount.
Offshore funds primarily invest in investment grade
European fixed-income securities. Redemption restrictions are
in place for investments with a fair value of $74 million and
$76 million at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, due to
lock-up provisions that will remain in effect until
November 2012.
Private equity funds invest in equity and debt securities
issued by private and publicly-held companies in connection
with leveraged buyouts, recapitalizations and expansion
opportunities. Substantially all of these investments do not allow
redemptions. Alternatively, we receive distributions as the
underlying assets of the funds liquidate, which we expect to
occur over the next 10 years.
Venture capital funds invest in domestic and foreign
companies in a variety of industries, including information
technology, financial services and healthcare. These investments
can never be redeemed with the funds. Instead, we receive
distributions as the underlying assets of the fund liquidate,
which we expect to occur over the next seven years.
