(1)   Net new brokerage accounts include the closure of 753 accounts in October 2015 and 1,809 accounts in September 2015 related to the shutdown of the Company's global trading platform.
(2) Customer assets held by third parties are held outside E*TRADE Financial and include money market funds and sweep deposit accounts at unaffiliated financial institutions. Customer assets held by third parties are not reflected in the Company's consolidated balance sheet and are not immediately available for liquidity purposes. However, the Company maintains the ability to transfer the majority of these customer assets to its balance sheet with notification to the third party institutions and customer consent, as appropriate.
(3) Net new customer assets are total inflows to all new and existing customer accounts less total outflows from all closed and existing customer accounts. The net new brokerage assets and net new banking assets metrics treat asset flows between E*TRADE entities in the same manner as unrelated third party accounts.
