NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 — Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary have been included. All such adjustments consist of normal recurring accruals. accruals other than the immaterial accounting adjustment discussed below.

In the second quarter of 2022 we identified an accounting error related to changes in fair value of certain available-for-sale securities that are in fair-value hedge relationships. As a result of this error, cumulatively from the second quarter of 2019 through the first quarter of 2022, net income and retained earnings were understated by $6.2 million. We determined the error did not have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows for the impacted periods, and a correcting adjustment was recorded in interest income from available-for-sale securities in the second quarter of 2022.

The presentationpreparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2017. The unaudited2022. These interim financial statements do not include all the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete annual financial statements and accordingly should be read in conjunction with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston's audited financial statements and related notes in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016,2021, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) on March 24, 201718, 2022 (the 20162021 Annual Report). Unless otherwise indicated or the context requires otherwise, all references in this discussion to “the Bank,” "we," "us," "our," or similar references mean the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston.

Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

As of September 30, 2017, we have not made any significant changes to the summary of significant accounting policies described in Item 8 — Financial Statements and Supplementary Data — Note 18 — Fair Values in the 2016 Annual Report other than described below.

We utilize two derivatives clearing organizations (DCOs), for all cleared derivative transactions, Chicago Mercantile Exchange, Inc. (CME Inc.) and LCH Limited (LCH Ltd.). Effective January 3, 2017, CME Inc. made certain amendments to its rulebook changing the legal characterization of variation margin payments to be daily settlement payments, rather than collateral transfers. We continue to characterize our variation margin related to LCH Ltd. contracts as cash collateral. At both DCOs, initial margin is considered cash collateral.

Note 3 — Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Guidance

Effective Beginning in 2020
Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities,
Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting.On August 28, 2017,March 12, 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued amendedreleased temporary optional guidance that provides transition relief for reference rate reform. The guidance contains optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to improve the financial reporting ofcontract modifications, hedging relationships, to better portrayand other transactions that reference the economic results of an entity’s risk management activities in its financial statements. This guidance requiresLondon Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) or a reference rate that for fair value hedges, the entire change in the fair value of the hedging instrument included in the assessment of hedge effectiveness be presented in the same income statement line that is used to present the earnings effect of the hedged item. For cash flow hedges, the entire change in the fair value of the hedging instrument included in the assessment of hedge effectiveness must be recorded in other comprehensive income. In addition, the amendments include certain targeted improvements to the assessment of hedge effectiveness and permit, among other things, the following:

Measurement of the change in fair value of the hedged item on the basis of the benchmark rate component of the contractual coupon cash flows determined at hedge inception.
Measurement of the hedged item in a partial-term fair value hedge of interest-rate risk by assuming the hedged item has a term that reflects only the designated cash flows being hedged.
Consideration only of how changes in the benchmark interest rate affect a decision to settle a prepayable instrument before its scheduled maturity in calculating the change in the fair value of the hedged item attributable to interest-rate risk.
For a cash flow hedge of interest-rate risk of a variable-rate financial instrument, an entity could designate as the hedged risk the variability in cash flows attributable to the contractually specified interest-rate.
For a closed portfolio of prepayable financial assets or one or more beneficial interests secured by a portfolio of prepayable financial instruments, an entity can designate an amount that is not expected to be discontinued as a result of reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. This standard was effective upon issuance and the provisions generally can be applied prospectively as of January 1, 2020, through December 31, 2022.

In addition to the optional expedients for contract modifications and hedging relationships, this update provides a one-time election to sell, transfer, or both sell and transfer debt securities classified as held-to-maturity that reference a rate affected by prepayments, defaults,reference rate reform and other events affecting the timing and amount of cash flows (the “last-of-layer” method) into a hedging relationship.
An entity can perform subsequent assessments of hedge effectiveness qualitatively in instances where initial quantitative testing is required.
For financial instruments eligible to be designatedthat were classified as a hedged item under the last-of-layer method, a one-time reclassification of prepayable financial instruments from held-to-maturity to available-for-sale at the date of adoption is permitted.

This guidance becomes effective for us for interim and annual periods beginning onbefore January 1, 2019, and early adoption is permitted. For all cash flow hedges existing on2020. In the datethird quarter of adoption, this guidance should be applied through a cumulative-effect adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive income with a corresponding adjustment to retained earnings as of2020, we adopted the beginning of the year of adoption. The amended presentation and disclosure guidance is required only prospectively. We do not intend to adopt this guidance early. We are in the process of evaluating this guidance, and its anticipated effect on our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows has not yet been determined.

Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities.On March 30, 2017, the FASB issued amended guidance to shorten the amortization period for certain purchased callable debt securities held at a premium. Specifically, the amendments require the premium to be amortized to the earliest call date. The amendments do not require an accounting change for securities held at a discount; the discount continues to be amortized to maturity. This guidance affects all entities that hold investments in callable debt securities that have an amortized cost basis in excess of the amount that is repayable by the issuer at the earliest call date (that is, at a premium). This guidance is effective for us for interim and annual periods beginning on January 1, 2019, and early adoption is permitted. We do not intend to adopt this guidance early. This guidance should be applied using a modified retrospective method through a cumulative-effect adjustment directly to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. We currently do not have a significant amount of assets that are in scope to be evaluated under the updated guidance. As such, adoptionprovision of this guidance iswhich allows a one-time election to sell, transfer, or both sell and transfer debt securities classified as held-to-maturity.

In the fourth quarter of 2020, we retrospectively elected to adopt the provision of this guidance specific to the modification of interest rates used for the discounting of derivative instruments. This did not expected to have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.


Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost. On March 10, 2017, the FASB issued amended guidance to improve the presentation of net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit cost. The amendments require that employers disaggregate the service cost component from the other components of net benefit cost. The amendments also provide explicit guidance on how to present the service cost component and the other components of net benefit cost in the income statement and allow only the service cost component of net benefit cost to be eligible for capitalization. This guidance is effective for us for interim and annual periods beginning on January 1, 2018, and early adoption is permitted. This guidance should be applied retrospectively for the presentation of the service cost component and the other components of net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit cost in the income statement and prospectively, on and after the effective date, for the capitalization of the service cost component of net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit in assets. The changes outlined in the guidance will primarily impact the presentation of the income statement, but will not impact net income. As such, adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

Financial Instruments - Credit Losses. On June 16, 2016, the FASB issued amended guidance for the accounting of credit losses on financial instruments. The amendments require entities to measure expected credit losses based on relevant information about past events (including historical experience), current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. An entity must use judgment in determining the relevant information and estimation methods that are appropriate in its circumstances. The new guidance requires a financial asset, or a group of financial assets, measured at amortized cost to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected over the contractual term of the financial asset(s). The guidance also requires, among other things, the following:

The statement of income reflects the measurement of credit losses for newly recognized financial assets, as well as the expected increases or decreases of expected credit losses that have taken place during the period.
Entities determine the allowance for credit losses for purchased financial assets with a more-than-insignificant amount of credit deterioration since origination that are measured at amortized cost in a similar manner to other financial assets measured at amortized cost. The initial allowance for credit losses is required to be added to the purchase price.
Entities record credit losses relating to available-for-sale debt securities through an allowance for credit losses. The amendments limit the allowance for credit losses to the amount by which fair value is below amortized cost.
Public entities further disaggregate the current disclosure of credit quality indicators in relation to the amortized cost of financing receivables by the year of origination.

This guidance is effective for us for interim and annual periods beginning on January 1, 2020. Early application is permitted as of the interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. This guidance is required to be applied using a modified-retrospective approach, through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. In addition, entities are required to use a prospective transition approach for

purchased financial assets with a more-than-insignificant amount of credit deterioration since origination and for debt securities for which an other-than-temporary impairment had been recognized before the effective date. We do not intend to adopt the new guidance early. While we are in the process of evaluating the remaining provisions of this guidance, we expectand the adoption of the guidance will result in an increase in the allowance for credit losses given the requirement to assess losses for the entire estimated life of the financial asset. The effectanticipated effects on our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows will dependhave not yet been determined.

Note 3 — Investments

Interest-Bearing Deposits, Securities Purchased under Agreements to Resell, and Federal Funds Sold

We invest in interest-bearing deposits, securities purchased under agreements to resell, and federal funds sold to provide short-term liquidity. These investments are generally transacted with counterparties that have received, or whose guarantors have received, a credit rating of triple-B or greater (investment grade) by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization (NRSRO), or the equivalent. At June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, none of these investments were made to counterparties or, if applicable, guaranteed by entities rated below single-A.
9


Securities purchased under agreements to resell are short-term and are structured such that they are evaluated daily to determine if the market value of the underlying securities decreases below the market value required as collateral (i.e. subject to collateral maintenance provisions). If so, the counterparty must place an amount of additional securities as collateral or remit an equivalent amount of cash sufficient to comply with collateral maintenance provisions, generally by the next business day. Based upon the compositioncollateral held as security and collateral maintenance provisions with our counterparties, we determined that no allowance for credit losses was needed for our securities purchased under agreements to resell at June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021.

Federal funds sold are unsecured loans that are transacted on an overnight term or short-term basis. FHFA regulations include a limit on the amount of our financial assets held at the adoption dateunsecured credit we may extend to a counterparty. All investments in interest-bearing deposits and federal funds sold outstanding as well as the economic conditionsof June 30, 2022, and forecasts at that time.

Contingent Put and Call Options in Debt Instruments. On March 14, 2016, the FASB issued amendments to clarify the requirements for assessing whether contingent call (put) options that can accelerate the payment of principal on debt instruments are clearly and closely related to their debt hosts. Specifically, the updated guidance clarifies what steps are required when assessing whether the economic characteristics and risks of call (put) options are clearly and closely relatedDecember 31, 2021, have been repaid according to the economic characteristicscontractual terms. No allowance for credit losses was recorded for these assets at June 30, 2022, and risks of theirDecember 31, 2021.

Debt Securities

We invest in debt hosts,securities, which is one of the criteria for bifurcating an embedded derivative. Consequently, when a call (put) option is contingently exercisable, an entity does not have to assess whether the event that triggers the ability to exercise a call (put) option is related to interest ratesare classified as either trading, available-for-sale, or credit risks.held-to-maturity. We adopted this guidance on January 1, 2017. The adoption of this guidance did not have any effect on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. On January 5, 2016, the FASB issued amended guidance onare prohibited by FHFA regulations from investing in certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial instruments. This guidance includes, but is not limited to, the following:

Requires equity investments (with certain exceptions) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income;
Requires an entity to present separately in other comprehensive income the portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk when the entity has elected to measure the liability at fair value in accordance with the fair value option for financial instruments;
Requires separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset (that is,higher-risk securities, or loans and receivables) on the statement of condition or the accompanying notes to the financial statements; and
Eliminates the requirement for public entities to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the statement of condition.

This guidance becomes effective for us for the interim and annual periods beginning on January 1, 2018, and early adoption is only permitted for certain provisions. The amendments, in general, are required to be applied by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment on the statement of conditionsuch as of the beginning of the period of adoption. We do not invest in equity securities and debt instruments that are not investment quality, other than certain investments targeted at low-income persons or communities, but we haveare not previously elected the fair value option for our own debt securities.

Note 7 — Other-Than-Temporary Impairment

We evaluate our individual available-for-sale and held-to-maturity securities for other-than-temporary impairment each quarter.

Available-for-Sale Securities

We determined that none of our available-for-sale securities were other-than-temporarily impaired at September 30, 2017. At September 30, 2017, we held certain available-for-sale securities in an unrealized loss position. These unrealized losses reflect the impact of normal yield and spread fluctuations attendant with security markets. We consider these unrealized losses temporary because we expect to recover the entire amortized cost basis on these available-for-sale securities in an unrealized loss position and neither intend to sell these securities nor is it more likely than not that we will be required to sell these securities before the anticipated recovery of each security's remaining amortized cost basis. Additionally, there have been no shortfalls of principal or interest on any available-for-sale security.

HFA(1)Held-to-maturity securities sold had less than 15 percent of the acquired principal outstanding at the time of sale. Such sales are treated as maturities for the purposes of security classification. The sale does not impact our ability and intent to hold the remaining investments classified as held-to-maturity through their stated maturity dates.

Allowance for Credit Losses on Available-for-Sale Securities and Agency MBS. Held-to-Maturity Securities

We have reviewed our investments in HFAevaluate available-for-sale and held-to-maturity investment securities for credit losses on a quarterly basis. Our available-for-sale and held-to-maturity securities are principally debt securities of GSE or U.S. government-owned corporations, supranational institutions, and state or local housing finance agency obligations, and MBS issued by Government National Mortgage Association (Ginnie Mae), Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac), and Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae) that are backed by single-family or multifamily mortgage loans. We only purchase investment-grade securities. At June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, all available-for-sale securities and agency MBS and have determined that allheld-to-maturity securities were rated single-A, or above, by an NRSRO, based on the lowest long-term credit rating for each security.

We evaluate individual available-for-sale securities for impairment by comparing the security’s fair value to its amortized cost. Impairment may exist when the fair value of the investment is less than its amortized cost (i.e. in an unrealized loss position). At June 30, 2022, certain available-for-sale securities were in an unrealized loss position. These losses are temporary. We do notconsidered temporary as we expect to recover the entire amortized cost basis on these available-for-sale investment securities and we neither intend to sell the investmentsthese securities nor isdo we consider it more likely than not that we will be required to sell these securities before the investments beforeanticipated recovery of theeach security's remaining amortized cost basis. Further, we have not experienced any material payment defaults on the instruments. Based on our assessment of the creditworthiness of the issuers or guarantors, no allowance for credit losses was recorded on available-for-sale securities at June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021.

We evaluate held-to-maturity securities for impairment on a collective or pooled basis unless an individual assessment is deemed necessary because the securities do not considerpossess similar risk characteristics. We have not experienced and do not anticipate any material payment defaults on these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at September 30, 2017.

Private-Label Residential MBS and ABS Backed by Home Equity Loans. For those securities for which a credit loss was recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2017, the following table presents a summarysecurities. Based on our assessment of the average projected values over the remaining livescreditworthiness of the securitiesissuers or guarantors, no allowance for the significant inputs used to measure the amount of the credit loss recognized in earnings, as well as related current credit enhancement. Credit enhancement is defined as the percentage of subordinated tranches, over-collateralization, and other credit enhancement, if any, in a security structure that will generally absorb losses before we will experience a credit loss on the security. The calculated averages represent the dollar-weighted average of Alt-A other-than-temporarily impaired private-label residential MBS (dollars in thousands).

(1)We have instituted litigation related to certain of the private-label MBS in which we invested. Our complaint asserts, among others, claims for untrue or misleading statements in the sale of securities. It is possible that classifications of private-label MBS as provided herein when based on classification at the time of issuance as disclosed by those securities' issuance documents, as well as other statements about the securities, are inaccurate.

The following table presents a roll-forward of the amounts related to credit losses recognized in earnings. The roll-forward is the amount of credit losses on investment securities for which we recognized a portion of other-than-temporary impairment charges into accumulated other comprehensive loss (dollars in thousands).

We invest in mortgage loans through the Mortgage Partnership Finance® (MPF® program). These mortgage loans are either guaranteed or insured by federal agencies, as is the case with government mortgage loans, or are credit-enhanced by the related entity that sold the loan (a participating financial institution), as is the case with conventional mortgage loans. All such investments are held for portfolio.

Note 10 — Allowance for Credit Losses

An allowance for credit losses is a valuation allowance separately established for each identified portfolio segment, if necessary, to provide for probable losses inherent in our portfolio as of the statement of condition date. To the extent necessary, an allowance for credit losses for off-balance-sheet credit exposure is recorded as a liability.

For additional information see Item 8 — Financial Statements and Supplementary Data — Note 10 — Allowance for Credit Losses in the 2016 Annual Report.

Secured Member Credit Products

unions. We manage our credit exposure to secured member credit products through an integrated approach that generally includes establishing a credit limit for each borrower,borrower. This approach includes an ongoing review of each borrower's financial condition, and collateral and lending policies that are intended to limit risk of loss while balancing borrowers' needs for a reliable source of funding.

For additional information on credit risk exposure and security terms see Part II — Item 8 — Financial Statements and Supplementary Data — Note 6 — Advances in the 2021 Annual Report.

Using a risk-based approach and taking into consideration each borrower's financial strength, we consider the types and level of collateral to be the primary indicator of credit quality on our credit products. At SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2022, and December 31, 2016,2021, we had rights to collateral, on a borrower-by-borrower basis, with an estimated value in excess of our outstanding extensions of credit.

We continue to evaluate and make changes to our collateral guidelines based on market conditions. At June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, none of our secured member credit products outstandingadvances were past due, on nonaccrual status, or considered impaired. In addition, there were no troubled debt restructurings related to credit productsadvances during the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172022 and 2021.

(3)    As of June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, $7.7 million and $11.8 million, respectively, of conventional mortgage loans on nonaccrual status did not have an associated allowance for credit losses because these loans were either charged off or the fair value of the underlying collateral, including any credit enhancements, is greater than the amortized cost of the loans.

Allowance for Credit Losses for Mortgage Loans.

Conventional Mortgage Loans.Conventional loans are evaluated collectively when similar risk characteristics exist. Conventional loans that do not share risk characteristics with other loans are evaluated for expected credit losses on an individual basis. We determine our allowance for credit losses on conventional loans through analyses that include consideration of various loan portfolio and collateral-related characteristics, such as past performance, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts of expected economic conditions. We use a discounted cash flow model to project our expected losses. We use a third-party model to project cash flows to estimate the expected credit losses over the life of the loans. The model relies on a number of inputs, such as both current and forecasted property values and interest rates as well as historical borrower behavior. We incorporate associated credit enhancements and expected recoveries, if any, to determine our estimate of expected credit losses.

Certain conventional loans may be evaluated for credit losses by using the practical expedient for collateral dependent assets. A mortgage loan is considered collateral dependent when the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and repayment is expected to come substantially from the sale of the underlying collateral. We estimate the fair value of this collateral by using a third-party property valuation model. The expected credit loss of a collateral dependent mortgage loan is equal to the difference between the amortized cost of the loan and the estimated fair value of the collateral, less estimated selling costs. We will reserve for these estimated losses or record a direct charge-off of the loan balance if certain triggering criteria are met.

Table 5.5 presents a roll forward of the allowance for credit losses on conventional mortgage loans for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, and 2021.

(1)    These amounts exclude government mortgage loans because we make no allowance for credit losses based on our investments in government mortgage loans, as discussed below under — Government Mortgage Loans Held for Portfolio.

Government Mortgage Loans Held for PortfolioPortfolio. We invest in government mortgage loans secured by one- to four-family residential properties. Government mortgage loans are mortgage loans insured or guaranteed by the Federal Housing Administration (the FHA), the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (the VA), the Rural Housing Service of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (RHS), or by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).

BasedThe servicer provides and maintains insurance or a guarantee from the applicable government agency. The servicer is responsible for compliance with all government agency requirements and for obtaining the benefit of the applicable insurance or guaranty with respect to defaulted government-guaranteed mortgage loans. Any losses incurred on our assessment of our servicersthese loans that are not recovered from the insurer or guarantor are absorbed by the related servicer. Therefore, we only have credit risk for these loans if the servicer fails to pay for losses not covered by insurance or guarantees, but in such instances, we have recourse against the servicer for such failure. Due to government guarantees or insurance on our government loans, there is no allowance for credit losses for the government mortgage loan portfolio as of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2022, and December 31, 2016. In addition, these2021. Additionally, government mortgage loans are not placed on nonaccrual status due to the government guarantee or insurance on these loans and the contractual obligation of the loan servicers to repurchase their related loans when certain criteria are met.

Credit Enhancements. Our allowance for credit losses factors in the credit enhancements associated with conventional mortgage loans under the MPF program. These credit enhancements apply after the homeowner's equity is exhausted and can include primary and/or supplemental mortgage insurance or other kinds of credit enhancement. The credit-enhancement amounts estimated to protect us against credit losses are determined through the use of a model. Any incurred losses that would be recovered from the credit enhancements are not reserved as part of our allowance for loan losses. In such cases, a receivable is generally established to reflect the expected recovery from credit-enhancement arrangements.

Previously, conventional mortgage loans were required to be credit enhanced so that the risk of loss was limited to the losses equivalent to an investment in a double-A rated MBS at the time of purchase. The FHFA final rule on acquired member assets (AMA) went into effect on January 18, 2017, allowing each FHLBank to utilize its own model to determine the credit enhancement for AMA loan assets and pool loans in lieu of a nationally recognized statistical ratings organization (NRSRO) ratings model. Upon effectiveness of the final AMA rule, we determined that assets delivered to us must be credit enhanced at our determined “AMA investment grade” of a double-A rated MBS. In March 2017, we determined that assets delivered to us must be credit enhanced at our revised determination of “AMA investment grade” of a single-A-minus rated MBS. This revision had no impact on the September 30, 2017, allowance for credit losses. We share the risk of credit losses on our investments in mortgage loans with the related participating financial institution by structuring potential losses on these investments into layers with respect to each master commitment. We analyze the risk characteristics of our mortgage loans using a third-party model to determine the credit enhancement amount at the time of purchase. This credit-enhancement amount is broken into a first-loss account and a credit-enhancement obligation of each participating financial institution, which may be calculated based on the risk analysis to equal the difference between the amounts needed for the master commitment to have a rating equivalent to a single-A-minus rated MBS and our initial first-loss account exposure.

Roll-Forward of Allowance for Credit Losses on Mortgage Loans. The following table presents a roll-forward of the allowance for credit losses on conventional mortgage loans for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, as well as the recorded investment in mortgage loans by impairment methodology at September 30, 2017 and 2016 (dollars in thousands). The recorded investment in a loan is the par amount of the loan, adjusted for accrued interest, unamortized premiums or discounts, deferred derivative gains and losses, and direct write-downs. The recorded investment is net of any valuation allowance.

Changes in fair value of the derivative hedging instrument and the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk for designated fair-value hedges are recorded in net interest income in the same line as the earnings effect of the hedged item. For designated cash-flow hedges, the entire change in the fair value of the hedging instrument (assuming it is included in the assessment of hedge effectiveness) is reported in other comprehensive income until the hedged transaction affects earnings. At that time, this amount is reclassified from other comprehensive income and recorded in net interest income in the same line as the earnings effect of the hedged item.

Tables 6.2 presents the net gains (losses) on qualifying fair-value hedging relationships. Gains (losses) on derivatives include unrealized changes in fair value as well as net interest settlements.

For the ninethree months ended September June 30, 20172022 and 2016,2021, there were no reclassifications from accumulated other comprehensive loss(loss) income into earnings as a result of the discontinuance of cash-flow hedges because the original forecasted transactions were not expected to occur by the end of the originally specified time period or within a two-month period thereafter. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2022, the maximum length of time over which we are hedging our exposure to the variability in future cash flows for forecasted transactions is sevennine years.


As of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2022, the amount of deferred net losses on derivatives accumulated in other comprehensive loss related to cash flow hedges expected to be reclassified to earnings during the next 12 months is $4.9 million.

nettingmaster-netting agreements. Currently derivatives that contain any optionality are not eligible for clearing. Accordingly, such derivatives, including the derivatives used to hedge issuance of callable CO bonds, are executed with our uncleared derivatives counterparties. Certain of our uncleared derivatives master-netting agreements contain provisions that require us to post additional collateral with our uncleared derivatives counterparties if our credit ratings are lowered. Under the terms that govern such agreements, if our credit rating is lowered by Moody's Investors Services (Moody's) or Standard & Poor's Rating Service (S&P)S&P to a certain level, we are required to deliver additional collateral on uncleared derivatives in a net liability position.derivatives. In the event of a split between such credit ratings, the lower rating governs. The aggregate fair value of all uncleared derivatives with these provisions that were in a net-liability position (before cash collateral and related accrued interest) at SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2022, was $328.0$941.5 million for which we had delivered collateral with a post-haircut value of $304.5 million$1.0 billion in accordance with the terms of the master-netting agreements.

For cleared derivatives, the DCO is our counterparty. The DCO notifies the clearing member of the required initial and variation margin and our agent (clearing member) in turn notifies us. We utilize one of two DCOs for alleach cleared derivative transactions,transaction, CME Inc. andor LCH Ltd. Effective January 3, 2017, CME Inc. made certain amendments to its rulebook, changing the legal characterization ofBased upon their rulebooks, we characterize variation margin payments to beas daily settlement payments, rather than collateral. We continue to characterize our variation margin related to LCH Ltd. contracts as cash collateral. At both DCOs, posted initial margin is considered cash collateral. We post initial margin and exchange variation margin through a clearing member whoof the DCO which clears our trades, acts as our agent to the DCO and who guarantees our performance to the DCO, subject to the terms of relevant agreements. These arrangements expose us to credit risk in the event that one of our clearing members or one of the DCOs fails to meet its obligations. The use of cleared derivatives is intended to mitigate credit risk exposure because the DCO, which is fully secured at all times through margin received from its clearing members, is substituted for the credit risk exposure of individual counterparties in uncleared derivatives, and collateral is posted at least once daily for changes in the fair value of cleared derivatives through a clearing member.

We have analyzed the rights, rules, and regulations governing our cleared derivatives and determined that those rights, rules, and regulations should result in a net claim through each

We have analyzed the rights, rules, and regulations governing our cleared and uncleared derivatives and determined that those rights, rules, and regulations should result in a net claim with each of our counterparties (which, in the context of cleared derivatives is through each of our clearing members with the related DCO) upon an event of default of our counterparty (solely in the case of uncleared derivatives) or the bankruptcy, insolvency or a similar proceeding involving our counterparty (and/or one of our clearing members, in the case of cleared derivatives). For this purpose, "net claim" generally means a single net amount reflecting the aggregation of all amounts owed by us to the relevant counterparty and payable to us from the relevant counterparty.
The following table
Table 6.8 presents separately the fair value of derivatives that are subject to netting due to a legal right of offset based on the terms of our master netting arrangements or similar agreements as of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2022, and December 31, 20162021, and the fair value of derivatives that are not subject to such netting.

Note 1813 — Commitments and Contingencies

Joint and Several Liability. COs are backed by the financial resources of the FHLBanks. The FHFA has authority to require any FHLBank to repay all or a portion of the principal and interest on COs for which another FHLBank is the primary obligor. No FHLBank has ever been asked or required to repay the principal or interest on any CO on behalf of another FHLBank. We evaluate the financial condition of the other FHLBanks primarily based on known regulatory actions, publicly available financial information, and individual long-term credit-rating action as of each period-end presented. Based on this evaluation, as of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2022, and through the filing of this report, we do not believe thereit is only a remote likelihoodlikely that we will be required to repay the principal or interest on any CO on behalf of another FHLBank.

We have considered applicable FASB guidance and determined it is not necessary to recognize a liability for the fair value of our joint and several liability for all of the COs. The joint and several obligation is mandated by the FHLBank Act, as implemented by FHFA regulations, and is not the result of an arms-length transaction among the FHLBanks. The FHLBanks have no control over the amount of the guaranty or the determination of how each FHLBank would perform under the joint and several obligation. Because the FHLBanks are subject to the authority of the FHFA as it relates to decisions involving the allocation of the joint and several liability for the FHLBanks' COs, the FHLBanks' joint and several obligation is excluded from the initial recognition and measurement provisions. Accordingly, we have not recognized a liability for our joint and several obligation related to other FHLBanks' COs at SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2022, and December 31, 2016.2021. The par amounts of other FHLBanks' outstanding COs for which we are jointly and severally liable totaled $972.2$823.7 billion and $932.1$623.9 billion at SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2022, and December 31, 2016,2021, respectively.

Commitments for unused line-of-credit advances are generally for periods of up to 12 months. Since many of these commitments are not expected to be drawn upon, the total commitment amount does not necessarily indicate future liquidity requirements.

Standby Letters of Credit. AFor a fee, we issue standby letterletters of credit is a financing arrangement pursuanton behalf of our members to which we agreesupport certain obligations of the members to third-party beneficiaries. These standby letters of credit are generally subject to the same collateralization and borrowing limits that are applicable to advances. Standby letters of credit may be offered to assist members and nonmember housing associates in facilitating residential housing finance, community lending, and asset-liability management, and to provide liquidity. In particular, members often use standby letters of credit as collateral for a fee to fund the associated obligation to a third-party beneficiary should the primary obligor fail to fund such obligation.deposits from state and local government agencies. If we are required to make payment for a beneficiary's draw, our strategy is to take prompt action to recover the funds paid to the third-party beneficiary, including converting the payment amount into a collateralized advance to the primary obligor, withdrawing the payment amount from the primary obligor's demand deposit account with us, or selling collateral pledged by the primary obligor in a commercially reasonable manner to offset the payment amount. The originalHistorically, standby letters of credit usually expire without being drawn upon. At June 30, 2022, the terms of these standby letters of credit have original expiration periods of up to 20 years,, currently expiring no later than 2026.2031. Currently, we offer new standby letters of credit with expiration periods ofterms typically up to 10 years. Our unearnedyears, while terms greater than 10 years may be available on an exception basis. Unearned fees for the value of the guarantees related to standby letters of credit are recorded in other liabilities and totaled $892,000$1.4 million and $1.1$1.1 million at SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2022, and December 31, 2016,2021, respectively.

Commitments to Invest in Mortgage Loans. Commitments to invest in mortgage loans are generally for periods not to exceed 4560 business days. Such commitments are recorded as derivatives at their fair values on the statement of condition.

Pledged Collateral. We have pledged securities as collateral related to derivatives. See Note 116 — Derivatives and Hedging Activities for additional information about our pledged collateral and other credit-risk-related contingent features.

Legal Proceedings. We are subject to various legal proceedings arising in the normal course of business from time to time. We would record an accrual for a loss contingency when it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Management does not anticipate that the ultimate liability, if any, arising out of these matters will have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

For the three months ended September 30, 2017, netNet income increased to $45.6 million, from $36.6 million for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016.2022, was $41.0 million, compared with net income of $6.2 million for the same period in 2021. The increase in net income was primarily due todriven by an increase of $6.2$26.3 million in net interest income after provision for credit losses, a $1.9decrease of $14.3 million reductionin net losses on trading securities and a decline of $1.5 million in losses on derivatives and hedging activities andearly extinguishment of debt. These increases to net income were partially offset by a $1.3$7.6 million reductionincrease in net unrealized losses on trading securities.

Net interest income after provision for credit losses forcontributions to the three months ended September 30, 2017, was $71.1 million,Affordable Housing Program, compared with $64.9 million forto the same period in 2016. 2021.

The $6.2$26.3 million increase in net interest income after provision for credit losses during the second quarter of 2022 was primarily attributabledue to highera $9.9 billion increase in average total earning assets and a significant increase in interest rates a two basis pointdue to aggressive monetary policy tightening by the Federal Reserve. The increase in our net interest spread and an increase of $133.0 million in average earning assets which increasedwas driven primarily by a $5.7 billion increase in average advances balances, as demand for advances returned among depository members to near pre-pandemic levels. Additionally, the increase in net interest income after provision for credit losses was in part attributable to the correction of an error related to changes in fair value of certain available-for-sale securities that are in fair-value hedge relationships. As a result of this error, cumulatively from $57.9 billionthe second quarter of 2019 through the first quarter of 2022, net interest income after provision for credit losses was understated by $6.2 million. We determined the error did not have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows for the impacted periods, and a correcting adjustment was recorded in interest income from available-for-sale securities in the second quarter of 2022.

In support of our housing and community investment mission, the Bank made a voluntary contribution of $5.5 million to the Affordable Housing Program in the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016, to $58.1 billion2022. The increase in net income for the three monthsquarter ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017.2022, correspondingly increased the Bank’s statutory contributions to the Affordable Housing Program to a more meaningful level in the opinion of management compared to originally expected amounts. If this trend continues, the Bank expects that additional voluntary contributions to the Affordable Housing Program may be reduced or eliminated for the remainder of the year, but total contributions to AHP are expected to be significantly increased from the amount contributed in 2021. Additional information on this and other targeted affordable housing and community investment programs is provided in the 2021 Annual Report.

Net Interest MarginOur overall results of operations are influenced by the economy and financial markets, and, in particular, by members’ demand for advances and our ability to maintain sufficient access to funding at relatively favorable costs. While the effects of high inflation and the Federal Reserve’s aggressive monetary policy response, combined with weakening economic growth as measured by gross domestic product, present uncertainties about the future of the economy, the quarter ending June 30, 2022 saw a sharp increase in demand for advances. During the first two quarters of 2022, advances balances increased to $30.3 billion at June 30, 2022, an increase of 145.7 percent from $12.3 billion at December 31, 2021. This increase in advances was due to member depository institutions beginning to experience slowing growth or declines of deposit balances, an increase in

These developments impacted our financial condition as of June 30, 2022, and results of operations for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017, net interest margin was 0.49 percent, an increase2022.

Generally, investor demand for high credit quality, fixed-income investments, including COs, continued to be strong relative to other investments. Significant growth in outstanding COs to fund advances growth throughout the FHLBank System has not diminished relative demand for COs. Our flexibility in utilizing various funding tools, in combination with a diverse investor base and our status as a government-sponsored enterprise, have helped provide reliable market access and demand for consolidated obligations throughout fluctuating market environments and regulatory changes affecting dealers of four basis points fromand investors in COs.

ECONOMIC CONDITIONS

Economic Environment

InReal gross domestic product (GDP) decreased at an annual rate of 0.9 percent in the thirdsecond quarter of 2017,2022, following a 1.6 percent decrease in the U.S.first quarter. The contraction in the second quarter was driven mainly by decreases in private inventory investment, residential fixed investment, and federal government spending. Personal consumption expenditures increased at an annual rate of 1.0 percent, driven by an increase in spending on services, partially offset by a drop in spending on goods.

On November 1, 2017,July 27, 2022, the FOMC announced that it would maintainraised the target range for the federal funds rate at 1 percent to 1.25 percent.between 225 and 250 basis points and stated that ongoing increases in the target range will likely be appropriate given elevated rates of inflation. The FOMC also initiatedstated that it would continue reducing its holdings of Treasury securities, agency debt, and agency mortgage-backed securities by reinvesting principal payments from its securities holdings only if they exceed monthly caps.

Net income increased to $122.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, from $113.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, primarily due to an increase of $21.9 million in net interest income after provision for credit losses, and a $10.7 million reduction in losses on derivatives and hedging activities, partially offset by a decrease in litigation settlement income of $19.6 million.

Net Interest Income

Third Quarter of 2017 Compared with Third Quarter of 2016

Net interest income after provision for credit losses for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172022, was $71.1$69.4 million, compared with $64.9$43.1 million for the same period in 2016.2021. The $6.2 million increase in net interest income after provision for

credit losses was primarily attributable to a four basis point increase in net interest margin and a $133.0 million increase in average earning assets, from $57.9 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2016, to $58.1 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2017. The increase in average earning assets was driven by a $212.4 million increase in average mortgage loans and a $106.8 million increase in average investments balances partially offset by an $186.3 million decrease in average advances balances. For additional information see — Executive Summary as well as Rate and Volume Analysis.

Net interest spread was 0.41 percent for the three months ended September 30, 2017, a two basis point increase from the same period in 2016, and net interest margin was 0.49 percent, a four basis point increase from the same period in 2016. The increase in net interest spread reflects a 49 basis point increase in the average yield on earning assets and a 47 basis point increase in the average yield on interest-bearing liabilities. The increase in net interest margin benefited from net interest spread expansion and higher interest rates.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017, Compared with Nine Months Ended September 30, 2016

Net interest income after provision for credit losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $197.6 million, compared with $175.7 million for the same period in 2016. The $21.9$26.3 million increase in net interest income after provision for credit losses was primarily attributabledriven by a $5.7 billion increase in the average balance of advances, a $2.4 billion increase in the average balance of securities purchased under agreements to resell, a five$1.6 billion increase in the average balance of mortgage-backed securities, an increase of fair value hedge ineffectiveness net gains of $20.6 million, an increase of net accretion of discounts and premiums on mortgage-backed securities and mortgage loans of $13.7 million resulting from significant increases in mortgage rates during the second quarter of 2022, and higher returns from investing the Bank’s capital in a higher interest-rate environment. These positive factors were partially offset by a $635.7 million decrease in the average balance of mortgage loans and a $1.9 million decrease in net prepayment fee income. Additionally, certain US Treasury securities, which were acquired prior to the significant interest rate reductions in early 2020, matured during the latter half of 2021, resulting in a reduction of interest income of $6.2 million as these securities were replaced with investments having lower yields. As a result, net interest spread was 0.52 percent for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, an increase of 8 basis pointpoints from the same period in 2021, and net interest margin was 0.60 percent, an increase of 12 basis points from the same period in 2021.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2022, Compared with Six Months Ended June 30, 2021

Net income increased to $68.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, from $27.0 million for the same period in 2021. The increase in net interest margin and a $697.6 million increase in average earning assets, from $58.4 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, to $59.1 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The increase in average earning assetsincome was driven by a $1.5 billiondecrease of $28.6 million in net losses on trading securities, an increase of $23.8 million in average advances balancesnet interest income after provision for credit losses, and a decline of $4.5 million in losses on early extinguishment of debt. These increases to net income were partially offset by a $1.0 billion decrease$9.2 million increase in average investments balances. For additional information see — Rate and Volume Analysis.

Net interest income after provision for credit losses for the six months ended June 30, 2022, was $128.4 million, compared with $104.6 million for the same period in 2021. The $23.8 million increase toin net interest income after provision for credit losses was driven by a $2.7$1.7 billion increase in the average balance of mortgage-backed securities, an increase of fair value hedge ineffectiveness net gains of $27.8 million, an increase of net accretion of discounts and premiums on mortgage-backed securities and mortgage loans of $30.3 million resulting from significant increases in mortgage rates during the first half of 2022, and higher returns from investing the Bank’s capital in a higher interest-rate environment. These positive factors were partially offset by a $710.2 million decrease in the average balance of mortgage loans and a $8.7 million decrease in net prepayment fees from advances and investments from $3.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2016, to $619,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

Rate and Volume Analysis

Changes in both average balances (volume) and interest rates influence changes in net interest income and net interest margin. The following tableTable 4 summarizes changes in interest income and interest expense for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172022 and 2016.2021. Changes in interest income and interest expense that are not identifiable as either volume-related or rate-related, but are equally attributable to both volume and rate changes, have been allocated to the volume and rate categories based upon the proportion of the absolute value of the volume and rate changes.

(1)Includes floating-rate advances that may be contractually prepaid by the borrower on a floating-rate reset date without incurring prepayment or termination fees.

In addition, the average balance of fixed-rate advances that were hedged with interest-rate swaps to yield an effective floating rate totaled $8.9 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. Therefore, a significant portion of our advances, including overnight advances, short-term fixed-rate advances, fixed-rate putable advances, certain fixed-rate bullet advances, and variable-rate advances, either earn a short-term interest rate or are swapped to a short-term index, resulting in yields that closely follow short-term market interest-rate trends. The average balance of all such advances totaled $29.4 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, representing 78.8 percent of the total average balance of advances outstanding during the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The average balance of all such advances totaled $28.0 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, representing 78.1 percent of the total average balance of advances outstanding during the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016,2021, net prepayment fees on advances were $3.3 million and investments were $619,000 and $3.3$12.0 million, respectively. Prepayment-fee income is unpredictable and inconsistent from period to period, occurring only when advances and investments are prepaid prior to the scheduled maturity or repricing dates, and generally when prevailing reinvestment yields are lower than those of the prepaid advances. For additional information see Item 8 — Financial Statements and Supplementary Data — Notes to the Financial Statements — Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies — Advances in the 2021 Annual Report.


Average Balance of Investments

Average short-term money-market investments, consisting of interest-bearing deposits, securities purchased under agreements to resell, and federal funds sold, decreased $492.2increased $950.1 million, or 5.321.5 percent, for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2022, compared with the same period in 2016.2021, as liquidity needs were greater in 2022 compared to 2021 due to increased advances borrowing activity. The yield earned on short-term money-market investments is highly correlated to short-term market interest rates. As a result of the FOMC’s increases ofincrease in the target range for the federal funds rate, in late 2016 and the first half of 2017, average yields on overnight federal funds sold increased from 0.380.07 percent during the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20162021, to 0.940.57 percent during the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2022, while average yields on securities purchased under agreements to resell increased from 0.330.07 percent for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20162021, to 0.830.97 percent for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017.2022.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, average balances of securities purchased under agreements to resell decreased $474.5 million and average balances of federal funds sold decreased $48.0 million in comparison to the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

Average investment-securities balances decreased $509.7 million,increased $2.5 billion, or 5.2922.3 percent for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2022, compared with the same period in 2016, a decrease2021, an increase consisting primarily of a $854.8 million decrease$1.7 billion in MBS and a $342.7$833.6 million increase in U.S. Treasury obligations.

Average Balance of COs

Average CO balances increased $672.9 million,$2.3 billion, or 1.26.9 percent, for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2022, compared with the same period in 2016,2021, resulting from our increased funding needs principally due to the increase in our average advances balances. This overall increase consisted of ana $5.7 billion increase of $951.6 million in CO bonds andoffset by a decreasedecline of $278.7 million$3.5 billion in CO discount notes.


The average balance of CO discount notes represented approximately 48.221.2 percent of total average COs during the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2022, compared with 49.333.2 percent of total average COs during the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016.2021. The average balance of CO bonds represented 51.878.8 percent and 50.766.8 percent of total average COs outstanding during the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172022 and 2016,2021, respectively.

Impact of Derivatives and Hedging Activities

Net interest income includes interest accrued on interest-rate-exchange agreements that are associated with advances, investments, deposits, and debt instruments that qualify for hedge accounting. The fair value gains and losses of derivatives and hedged items designated in fair-value hedge relationships are also recognized as interest income or interest expense. We enter into derivatives to manage the interest-rate-risk exposures inherent in otherwise unhedged assets and liabilities and to achieve our risk-management objectives. We generally use derivative instruments that qualify for hedge accounting as interest-rate risk-management tools. These derivatives serve to stabilize net interest income and net interest margin when interest rates fluctuate. Accordingly, the impact of derivatives on net interest income and net interest margin, as well as other income, should be viewed in the overall context of our risk-management strategy.

At September 30, 2017, we had advances outstanding to 316, or 71.3 percent, of our 443 members. At December 31, 2016, we had advances outstanding to 315, or 70.5 percent, of our 447 members.

Advances Credit Risk

We endeavor to minimize credit risk on advances by monitoring the financial condition of our borrowers and by holding sufficient collateral to protect the Bank from credit losses. All pledged collateral is subject to collateral discounts, or haircuts, assignedto the market value or par value, as applicable, based on our opinion of the risk that such collateral presents. We are prohibited by Section 10(a) of the FHLBank Act from making advances without sufficient collateral to secure the advance.collateral. We have never experienced a credit loss on an advance.

We assign each non-insurance company borrower to one of the following three credit status categories based primarily on our assessment of the borrower's overall financial condition and other factors:

Category-1: membersMembers that are generally in satisfactory financial condition;
Category-2: membersMembers that show financial weakness or weakening financial trends in key financial indices and/or regulatory findings; and
Category-3: membersMembers with financial weaknesses that present an elevated level of concern. We also place housing associates and non-member borrowers in Category-3.

We monitor the financial condition of our insurance company members quarterly. We lend to them based on our assessment of their financial condition and their pledge of sufficient amounts of eligible collateral.

The following table provides information regarding advances outstanding with our borrowers in Category-1, Category-2, Category-3, and insurance company members, at September 30, 2017, along with their corresponding collateral balances.

 (1)We have instituted litigation related to certain of the private-label MBS in which we invested. Our complaint asserts, among others, claims for untrue or misleading statements in the sale of securities. It is possible that classifications of private-label MBS as provided herein when based on classification at the time of issuance as disclosed by those securities' issuance documents, as well as other statements about the securities, are inaccurate.
(2)The determination of fixed or variable rate is based upon the contractual coupon type of the security.

The following table provides additional information related to our investments in MBS issued by private trusts and ABS backed by home equity loans. The table sets forth the credit ratings and summary credit enhancements associated with our private-label MBS and ABS. Average current credit enhancements as of September 30, 2017 reflect the percentage of subordinated class outstanding balances as of September 30, 2017, to our senior class outstanding balances as of September 30, 2017, weighted by the par value of our respective senior class securities. Average current credit enhancements as of September 30, 2017, are indicative of the ability of subordinated classes to absorb loan collateral lost principal and interest shortfall before senior classes are impacted.

Mortgage Loans

We invest in mortgages through the MPF program. The MPF program is further described under — Mortgage Loans Credit Risk and in Part I — Item 1 — Business — Business Lines — Mortgage Loan Finance in the 20162021 Annual Report.

As of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2022, our mortgage loan investment portfolio totaled $3.9$2.9 billion,, an increase a decrease of $248.9$222.8 million from December 31, 2016.2021. We expecthave experienced continued competition from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, as well as from private mortgage loan acquirers, for loan investment opportunities. In addition, prepayment activity in the six months ended June 30, 2022, has been elevated and has outpaced our purchases of mortgage loans.


Mortgage Loans Credit Risk

We are subject to credit risk from the mortgage loans in which we invest due to our exposure to the credit risk of the underlying borrowers and the credit risk of the participating financial institutions when the participating financial institutions retain credit-enhancement and/or servicing obligations. For additional information on the credit risks arising from our participation in the MPF program, see Part II — Item 7 — Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Financial Condition — Mortgage Loans — Mortgage Loans Credit Risk in the 20162021 Annual Report. For information on the credit performance of our mortgage loan portfolio as of June 30, 2022, see Item I — Financial Statements — Note 5 — Mortgage Loans Held for Portfolio in this report.

We place conventional mortgage loans on nonaccrual status when the collection of interest or principal is doubtful or contractual principal or interest is 90 days or more past due. Accrued interest on nonaccrual loans is reversed againstexcluded from interest income. We monitor the delinquency levels of the mortgage loan portfolio on a monthly basis. Our investments

Mortgage Insurance Companies. We are exposed to credit risk from supplemental mortgage insurance (SMI) companies that provide credit enhancement in place of the participating financial institution and from primary mortgage insurance coverage (PMI) on individual loans. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2022, we were the beneficiary of PMI coverage of $95.1$65.1 million on $371.2$248.1 million of conventional mortgage loans. These amounts relate to loans originated with PMI and SMI coveragefor which current loan-to-value ratios exceed 78 percent (determined by recalculating the original loan-to-value ratio using the current par value divided by the appraised home value at the time of $15.4 million on mortgage pools with a total unpaid principal balance of $108.4 million.loan origination).

We have analyzed our potential loss exposure to all of the mortgage insurance companies and do not expect incremental losses based on these exposures at this time.

Impact of Hurricanes Harvey and Irma. As a result of the devastation caused by Hurricanes Harvey and Irma in the southern United States during the third quarter of 2017, the Federal Emergency Management Agency declared portions of several states and territories as areas covered by either a major disaster declaration or an emergency declaration. The Bank has exposure to these areas primarily though whole-loan purchases under the MPF program and investments in private-label mortgage backed securities. Based on our assessment, management does not expect these losses will have a material effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

All derivatives are recorded on the statement of condition at fair value and classified as either derivative assets or derivative liabilities. Bilateral and cleared derivatives outstanding are classified as assets or liabilities according to the net fair value of derivatives aggregated by each counterparty. Derivative assets' net fair value, net of cash collateral and accrued interest, totaled $48.2$389.2 million and $61.6$378.5 million as of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2022, and December 31, 2016,2021, respectively. Derivative liabilities' net fair value, net of cash collateral and accrued interest, totaled $309.7$0.0 million and $357.9$38.9 million as of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2022, and December 31, 2016,2021, respectively.

The following table presents a summary of the notional amounts and estimated fair values of our outstanding derivatives, excluding accrued interest, and related hedged item by product and type of accounting treatment as of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2022, and December 31, 2016.2021. The notional amount represents the hypothetical principal basis used to determine periodic interest payments received and paid. However, the notional amount does not represent an actual amount exchanged or our overall exposure to credit and market risk.

We may engage in derivatives directly with affiliates of certain of our members that act as derivatives dealers to us. These derivatives are entered into for our own risk-management purposes and are not related to requests from our members to enter into such contracts.

Derivative Instruments Credit Risk. We are subject to credit risk on derivatives, arisingderivatives. This risk arises from the possibilityrisk of counterparty default on the derivative contract. The amount of unsecured credit exposure to derivative counterparty default is the amount by which the replacement cost of the defaulted derivative contract exceeds the value of any collateral held by us (if the counterparty is the net obligor on the derivative contract) or is exceeded by the value of collateral pledged by us to counterparties (if we are the net obligor on the derivative contract). We accept cash and securities collateral in accordance with the terms of the applicable master netting agreement for uncleared derivatives (principal-to-principal derivatives that are not centrally cleared) from counterparties with whom we are in a current positive fair-value position (i.e., we are in the money) by an amount that exceeds an exposure threshold (if any) defined in our master netting agreement with the counterparty. The resulting net exposure at fair value is reflected in the derivatives table below.position. We pledge cash and securities collateral in accordance with the terms of the applicable master netting agreement for uncleared derivatives to counterparties with whom we are in a current negative fair-value position (i.e., we are out-of-the-money) by an amount that exceeds an exposure threshold (if any) defined in our master netting agreement with the counterparty. position.

From time to time, due to timing differences or derivatives valuation differences between our calculated derivatives values and those of our counterparties, and to the contractual haircuts applied to securities, we pledge to counterparties cash or securities collateral whose fair value is greater than the current net negative fair-value of derivative positions outstanding with them adjusted for any applicable exposure threshold. them.

Similarly, from time to time, due to timing differences or derivatives valuation differences, we receive from counterparties cash or securities collateral whose fair value is less than the current net positive fair-value of derivatives positions outstanding with them adjusted for any applicable exposure threshold.them. We currently pledge only cash collateral, including initial and variation margin, for cleared derivatives, but may also pledge securities for initial margin as allowed by the applicable DCO and clearing member.

Transition from LIBOR to Alternative Reference Rates

We have exposures to investment securities and derivatives with interest rates indexed to U.S. dollar LIBOR. All of our LIBOR-indexed financial instruments utilize a LIBOR tenor that will either cease to be published or will no longer be representative after June 30, 2023. Table 15 presents our exposure to LIBOR-indexed investment securities and LIBOR-indexed derivatives, at June 30, 2022.

For further details see the following Risk Factors in our 2021 Annual Report: Part I — Item 1A — Risk Factors — Market and Liquidity Risks — Changes to and replacement of the LIBOR benchmark interest rate could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations; and — We use derivatives to manage interest-rate risk, however, we could be unable to enter into effective derivative instruments on acceptable terms.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our financial structure is designed to enable us to expand and contract our assets, liabilities, and capital in response to changes in membership composition and member credit needs. Our primary source of liquidity is our access to the capital markets through CO issuance, which is described in Part I — Item 1 — Business — Consolidated Obligations of the 2021 Annual Report. Outstanding COs and the condition of the market for COs are discussed below under — Debt Financing — Consolidated Obligations. Our equity capital resources are governed by our capital plan, certain portions of which are described under — Capital below as well as by applicable legal and regulatory requirements.

We seek to be in a position to meet the credit and liquidity needs of our members and to meet all current and future financial commitments by managing liquidity positions to maintain stable, reliable, and cost-effective sources of funds while taking into account market conditions, member demand, and the maturity profile of our assets and liabilities.

We may not be able to predict future trends in member credit needs because they are driven by complex interactions among a number of factors, including members' asset growth or reductions, deposit growth or reductions, and the attractiveness of advances compared to other wholesale borrowing alternatives. We regularly monitor current trends, and anticipate future debt issuance needs and maintain a portfolio of highly liquid assets in an effort to be prepared to fund our members' credit needs and our investment opportunities. Our abilityWe are generally able to expand our balance sheet and corresponding liquidity requirementsCO debt issuance in response to our members' increased credit needs is correlated to our members' requirements for advances and to increase our acquisitions of mortgage loans. Alternatively, in response to reduced member credit needs, we may allow our COs to mature without replacement, transfer debt to another FHLBank, or repurchase and retire outstanding consolidated obligations,COs, or redeem callable COs on eligible redemption dates, allowing our balance sheet to shrink.

As an FHLBank, through our ability to issue COs, we have comparatively stable access to funding through a diverse investor base at relatively favorable spreads to U.S. Treasury rates. For instance, during the financial crisis of 2008, when credit markets experienced their most severe constrictions in 70 years, the FHLBanks’ access to short-term funding was readily available.

Sources and Uses of Liquidity. Our primary sources of liquidity are proceeds from the issuance of COs and advance repayments, and maturing short-term investments, as well as cash and investment holdings that are primarily high-quality, short-, and intermediate-term financial instruments. COs are not obligations of the United States and are not guaranteed by either the United States or any government agency, but have historically received the same credit rating as the government bond credit rating of the United States. As of October 31, 2017, our COs were rated AA+/Aaa (with outlook stable) by S&P and Moody's.

During the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2022, we maintained continual access to funding and adapted our debt issuance to meet the needs of our members. During

Our primary uses of liquidity are advance originations and consolidated obligation payments. Other uses of liquidity are mortgage loan and investment purchases, dividend payments, general operating expenses, and other contractual payments. We also maintain liquidity to redeem or repurchase excess capital stock, through our daily excess stock repurchases, upon the nine months ended September 30, 2017,request of a member or as required under our short-term funding was generally driven by member demand and was achieved through the issuance of discount notes and short-term CO bonds. Access to short-term debt markets has been reliable because investors, driven by increased liquidity preferences and risk aversion, including the effects of money market fund reform, have sought our short-term debt as an asset of choice, which has led to advantageous funding opportunities and increased utilization of debt maturing in one year or less.capital plan.

We may use a portion of the short-term COs issued to fund both short- and long-term floating-rate assets. Funding longer-term floating-rate assets with shorter-term liabilities generally does not expose us to significant interest rate risk because the rates on both the floating-rate assets and liabilities reset similarly (either through rate resets or re-issuance of the obligations). However, deviations in the cost of our short-term liabilities relative to resetting assets can cause fluctuations in our net interest margin. Accordingly, we measure and monitor interest rate risk with commonly used methods and metrics, which include the calculations of market value of equity, duration of equity, duration gap, and earnings at risk. See Item 3 — Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk for additional information. We have also established funding gap limits designed to limit our exposure to refinancing risk. See Item 2 — Management’s Discussion and Analysis — Liquidity and Capital Resources — Balance Sheet Funding Gap Policy for additional information.

Secondary sources of liquidity include payments collected on mortgage loans, proceeds from the issuance of capital stock, and deposits from members. In addition, by law,under the Secretary ofFHLBank Act, the U.S. Treasury may acquirepurchase up to $4 billion of COs ofFHLBank COs. The terms, conditions, and interest rates in such a purchase would be determined by the FHLBanks.U.S. Treasury. This authority may be exercised at the discretion of the U.S. Treasury with the agreement of the FHFA only if alternative means cannot be effectively employed to permit members of the FHLBanks to continue to supply reasonable amounts of funds to the mortgage market, and the ability to supply such funds is substantially impaired because of monetary stringency and a high level of interest rates. Any funds borrowed under this process shall be repaidThere were no such purchases by the FHLBanks atU.S. Treasury during the earliest practicable date.six months ended June 30, 2022.

Internal Liquidity Sources / Liquidity Management

We have developed a methodology and policies by which we measure and manage the Bank’s short-term liquidity needs based on projected net cash flow and contingent obligations.

Table of Contents


Projected Net Cash Flow. We define projected net cash flow as projected sources of funds less projected uses of funds based on contractual maturities or expected option exercise periods, and settlement of committed assets and liabilities, as applicable. For mortgage-related cash flows and callable debt, we incorporate projected prepayments and call exercise.

Structural Liquidity.Liquidity Management Action Trigger. We define structuralmaintain a liquidity asmanagement action trigger pertaining to projected net cash flow: if projected net cash flow (defined above) less assumed secondary uses of funds, for which we assume the following:

all maturing advances are renewed;
member overnight deposits are withdrawn at a rate of 50 percent per day;
outstanding standby letters of credit are drawn down at a rate of 50 percent spread equally over 86 days;
uncommitted lines of credit are drawn upon at a rate of 10 percent of the previous day's balance; and
MPF master commitments are funded at a rate of 10 percent of the previous days' total amount on the first day and at a rate of one percent on each day thereafter.

The above assumptions for secondary uses of funds are in excess of our ordinary experience, and therefore represent a more stressful scenario than we expect to experience. We review these assumptions periodically.

This methodology for measuring projected net cash flow and structural liquidity has been established by management to monitor our liquidity position on a daily basis, and to help ensure that we meet all of our obligations as they come due and to meet our members' potential demand for liquidity from us in all cases. We may adjust the amount of liquidity maintained as market conditions change from time to time using projected net cash flow and structural liquidity measurements.

Liquidity Management Action Triggers. We maintain two liquidity management action triggers:

if structural liquidity is less than negative $1.0 billionfalls below zero on or before the fifth business21st day following the measurement date; and
if projected net cash flow falls below zero on or before the 21st day following the measurement date.

We did not exceed either of these thresholds at any time during the nine months ended September 30, 2017. If either of these thresholds is exceeded,date, then management of the Bank is notified and determines whether any corrective action is necessary. We did not exceed this threshold at any time during the six months ended June 30, 2022.

The following table presents our projected net cash flow and structural liquidity as of September 30, 2017.

Contingency Liquidity.
Base Case Liquidity Requirement. The Bank is subject to FHFA regulations require that we hold contingencyguidance on liquidity, in an amountAdvisory Bulletin 2018-07 (Liquidity Guidance AB), which communicates the FHFA’s expectations with respect to the maintenance of sufficient liquidity to enable us to cover our operational requirementsprovide advances and letters of credit for members for a minimum of five business daysspecified time without access to the CO debt markets. capital markets or other unsecured funding sources.

The FHFA defines contingencyLiquidity Guidance AB provides guidance on the level of on-balance sheet liquid assets related to base case liquidity. As part of the base case liquidity as projected sources of funds less uses of funds, excluding reliance on access tomeasure, the CO debt markets and including fundingguidance also includes a portion of outstandingseparate provision covering off-balance sheet commitments from standby letters of credit. For this purpose, outstanding standby letters of credit are assumed to be drawn down at a rate of 50 percent spread equally over 86 days following the measurement date. As defined by FHFA regulations, additional contingent sources of liquidity include the following:

marketable securities with a maturity greater than one week and less than one year that can be sold;
self-liquidating assets with a maturity of seven days or less;
assets that are generally accepted as collateral in the repurchase agreement market, for which we include 50 percent of unencumbered marketable securities with a maturity greater than one year; and
irrevocable lines of credit from financial institutions rated not lower than the second highest rating category by an NRSRO.

We complied with this regulatory requirement at all times during the nine months ended September 30, 2017. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we held a surplus of $13.5 billion and $13.4 billion, respectively, of contingency liquidity for the following five business days, exclusive of access to the proceeds of CO debt issuance.

Additional Liquidity Requirements. The FHFA requires us to have available at all times an amount greater than or equal to the current deposits received from our members invested in advances with maturities not to exceed five years, deposits in banks or trust companies, and obligations of the U.S. Treasury. The FHFA also requires us to maintain, in the aggregate, qualifying assets free from any lien or pledge in an amount at least equal to the amount of our participation in total COs outstanding.

In addition, certain FHFAthe Liquidity Guidance AB provides guidance requires usrelated to maintain sufficient liquidity through short-term investments in an amount at least equalasset/liability maturity funding gap limits.

Under the Liquidity Guidance AB, FHLBanks are required to our anticipatedhold positive cash outflows under two different scenarios.

The first scenario assumes that we cannot borrow funds from theflow while rolling over maturing advances to all members and assuming no access to capital markets for a period of time between 10 to 20and 30 calendar days, with a specific measurement period set forth in a supervisory letter. The Liquidity Guidance AB also sets forth the initial cash flow assumptions and formula to calculate base case liquidity. With respect to standby letters of credit, the guidance set at 15 business days, andstates that during that time we do not renew any maturing, prepaid, and put or called advances.
The second scenario assumes that we cannot raise funds in the capital markets forFHLBanks should maintain a periodliquidity reserve of between three to seven days,one percent and 20 percent of its outstanding standby letters of credit commitments, as specified in a supervisory letter.

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we were out of compliance with initial guidance set at five business days,the Base Case Liquidity Requirement for one day and that during that period we will renew maturing and called advances for all members except very large, highly rated members.

We were in compliance with these liquidity requirements at all times during the nine months ended September 30, 2017.each other day.

We are focused on maintaining a liquidity and funding balance between our financial assets and financial liabilities. The FHLBanks work collectively to manage the System-wide liquidity and funding management and the FHLBanks jointly monitor the System’s collective risk arising out of an inability to fully access the capital markets to fund our obligations. In managing and monitoring the amounts of assets that require refunding, we consider contractual maturities of our financial assets, as well as certain assumptions regarding expected cash flows (i.e. estimated prepayments and scheduled amortizations) and other factors in our discretion.

Balance Sheet Funding Gap Policy. TheWe may use a portion of the short-term COs issued to fund assets with longer terms, including longer-term floating-rate assets. Funding longer-term floating-rate assets with shorter-term liabilities generally does not expose us to significant interest-rate risk because the interest rates on both the floating-rate assets and liabilities typically reset similarly (either through rate resets or re-issuance of the obligations). However, deviations in the cost of our short-term liabilities relative to resetting assets can cause fluctuations in our net interest margin.

Additionally, the Bank is exposed to refinancing risk due to the fact thatsince, over certain time horizons, it has more liabilities than assets maturing. To adequately fund assets the maturing liabilities must be replaced by new liabilities at potentially higher cost, putting spread margin at risk. In order to manage the Bank’s refinancing risk, we maintain an appropriate funding balance between financial assets and financial liabilities and maintain a policy that limits the potential difference between the amount of financial assets and the amount of financial liabilities expected to mature within three-month and one-year time horizons inclusive of projected mortgage-related prepayment and call activity. We measure this difference, or gap, as a percentage of total assets under two alternative formats. One funding gap format effectively assumes that all floating rate advances indexed todifferent measurement horizons - three months and one year. In conformity with the discount note auction rate that both mature beyond the three-month or one-year time horizon and are prepayable without fees on coupon reset dates mature within the three-month or one-year time horizon; this assumption results in an adjustment that reduces the funding gap measurement. (Such advances are not subject to margin compression because the costprovisions of the refinanced debt defines

Liquidity Guidance AB, the reset rate on the advance coupon.) The other funding gap format includes no such adjustment. The Bank has instituted a limit and management action trigger framework around these metrics as follows:

Funding Concentration Policy. To limit the liquidity risk potentially associated with a high volume of short-term debt refinancing, we have adopted a funding concentration policy that limits the volume of discount notes outstanding as a proportion of total assets, effective March 24, 2017. The policy establishes a management action trigger when discount notes (excluding the amount of discount notes matched to short-term advances) exceed 40 percent of total assets. In addition, we have adopted a separate management action trigger that is triggered when total discount notes exceed 50 percent of assets. Finally, discount notes are limited to no more than 65 percent of total assets.

External Sources of Liquidity

Amended and Restated FHLBanks P&I Funding Contingency Plan Agreement. We have a source of emergency external liquidity through the Amended and Restated FHLBanks P&I Funding Contingency Plan Agreement as discussed in Item 7 — Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Liquidity and Capital Resources — External Sources of Liquidity in the 2016 Annual Report.Agreement. Under the terms of that agreement, in the event we do not fund our principal and interest payments under adue with respect to any CO byfor which issuance proceeds were allocated to us within deadlines established in the agreement, the other FHLBanks will be obligated to fund any shortfall to the extent that any of the other FHLBanks has a net positive settlement balance (that is, the amount by which end-of-day proceeds received by such FHLBank from the sale of COs on that day exceeds payments by such FHLBank on COs on the same day) in its account with the Office of Finance on the day the shortfall occurs. We would then be required to repay the funding to the other FHLBanks. We have never drawn funding under this agreement, nor have we ever been required to provide funding to another FHLBank under this agreement.

Debt Financing Consolidated Obligations

At SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2022, and December 31, 2016,2021, outstanding COs for which we are primarily liable, including both CO bonds and CO discount notes, totaled $56.5$57.8 billion and $57.2$28.9 billion, respectively.

CO bonds outstanding for which we are primarily liable at June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, include issued callable bonds totaling $4.0$20.7 billion and $4.7$12.8 billion, at September 30, 2017, and December 31, 2016, respectively.

CO discount notes comprised 49.643.4 percent and 52.57.9 percent of the outstanding COs for which we are primarily liable at SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2022, and December 31, 2016,2021, respectively, but accounted for 94.192.1 percent and 88.193.9 percent of the proceeds from the issuance of such COs during the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172022 and 2016,2021, respectively.

Financial Conditions for Consolidated Obligations

Overall, we have experienced relatively low CO issuance costs during the period covered by this report, reflecting continued highto experience strong demand for all tenors of COs with the strongest demand for short-term COs.among investors. We have been able to issue debt in the amounts and structures required to meet our funding and risk-management needs. We note that capacity among our CO underwriters has been occasionally somewhat constrained as a resultFor most of the imposition of higher capital requirements on many of our underwriters. So far,period covered by this development has not impeded our ability to meet our funding needs. Throughout the third quarter of 2017,report, COs were issued at yields that were generallyhistorically competitive versus those of comparable-term U.S. Treasury securities. COs continue to be issued at yields that are at or below equivalent-maturity LIBOR swap yieldslower than SOFR for debt maturing in less than five years, while longer-term issues bore funding costs that were typically higher than equivalent maturity LIBOR swap yields. Duringcomparable short-term maturities. However, periodic threats of Congressional failure to raise the period covered by this report, CO yields generally moved with U.S. dollar interest rate swaps and comparable U.S. Treasury yields, though minor spread fluctuations occurred between these series. We believe thatdebt ceiling raise the market’s reaction to recentpotential for defaults on U.S. Treasury debt, which could have impacts on demand for and expected changes in FOMC monetary policies, including the decision to reduce thepricing of CO debt.

Capital Rule

The FHFA'sFHFA’s regulation on FHLBank capital classification and critical capital levels (the Capital Rule), among other things, establishes criteria for four capital classifications and corrective action requirements for FHLBanks that are classified in any classification other than adequately capitalized. The Capital Rule requires the Director of the FHFA to determine on no less than a quarterly basis the capital classification of each FHLBank. By letter dated September 18, 2017,March 29, 2022, the Director of the FHFA notified us that, based on June 30, 2017December 31, 2021 financial information, we met the definition of adequately capitalized under the Capital Rule.

For additional information on the Capital Rule, see Item 7 — Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Liquidity and Capital Resources — Capital — Capital Rule in the 2016 Annual Report.

Internal Capital Practices and Policies

We also take steps as we believe prudent beyond legal or regulatory requirements in an effort to protect ourensure capital adequacy, reflected in our targeted capital ratio operating range, internal minimum capital requirement, in excess ofwhich exceeds regulatory requirements, our minimum retained earnings target, and limitations on dividends. For information on our minimum retained earnings target, see Item 7 — Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Liquidity and Capital Resources — Internal Capital Practices and Policies — Retained Earnings and the Minimum Retained Earnings Target in the 2016 Annual Report and, for information on limitations on dividends, see Item 5 — Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities in the 2016 Annual Report.

Targeted Capital Ratio Operating Range

dividends.
We target an operating capital ratio range as required by FHFA regulations. Currently, this range is set at 4.0 percent to 7.5 percent. Our capital ratio was
5.9 percent at September 30, 2017.

Internal Minimum Capital Requirement in Excess of Regulatory Requirements

To provide further protection for our capital base, we maintain an internal minimum capital requirement whereby the amount of paid-in capital stock and retained earnings (together, our actual regulatory capital) must be at least equal to the sum of four4 percent of our total assets plus an amount we measure as our risk exposure with 99 percent confidence using our economic capital model (together, our internal minimum capital requirement). As of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2022, this internal minimum capital requirement equaled $3.0 billion, which was satisfied by our actual regulatory capital of $3.6$3.2 billion.

ReductionMinimum Retained Earnings Target

At June 30, 2022, we had total retained earnings of Activity-Based Stock Investment Requirement$1.6 billion compared with our minimum retained earnings target of $700.0 million. We generally view our minimum retained earnings target as a floor for retained earnings rather than as a retained earnings limit and expect to continue to grow our retained earnings modestly even though we exceed the target.

On April 18, 2017,For information on limitations on dividends, including limitations when we announced that we would reduceare under our minimum retained earnings target, see Part II — Item 5 — Market for Registrant's Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities in the activity-based stock investment requirement (ABSIR) for advances with original maturities of more than three months from 4.5 percent to 4.0 percent. On May 1, 2017, we provided written notice to shareholders of the effective date of this change, which is the close of business on May 31, 2017. We reduced our ABSIR in an effort to gain efficiency in our capital structure, as we currently exceed internal and regulatory minimum capital requirements.2021 Annual Report.

Class B capital stock outstanding includes mandatorily redeemable capital stock.

On April 3, 2017, we conducted a partial repurchasean efficient capital structure, while providing for an equitable allocation of excess capital stock under the Excess Stock Management Program. This excess stock repurchase transaction was initiated in response to the decline in advances thatownership among members, we experienced during the quarter ending March 31, 2017.

On May 1, 2017, we provided a notice to our shareholders that we would replace our existing system of making periodic repurchases of excess capital stock when aggregate excess stock balances exceeded $200 million. We announced that on June 1, 2017, we would beginconduct daily repurchases of excess stock held byfrom any shareholder whose excess stock exceeds the lesser of $10.0$3 million or 25 percent of the shareholder's total stock investment requirement, subject to a minimum repurchase of $100,000. On July 27, 2017, we announced that effective on August 11, 2017, we would change the calculation that determines whether a shareholder’s excess stock balances will be subject to a daily repurchase of excess stock. We announced that beginning on August 11, 2017, we would repurchase excess stock held by any shareholder whose excess stock exceeds the lesser of $10.0 million or 103 percent of the shareholder’s total stock investment requirement, subject to athe minimum repurchase of $100,000. We plan to continue with this practice, subject to regulatory requirements and our anticipated liquidity or capital management needs, although continued repurchases remain at our sole discretion, and we retain authority to make adjustments to our excess stock repurchase practices subject to notice requirements defined in our Capital Plan, or to suspend repurchases of excess stock from any shareholder or all shareholders without prior notice.

Excess stock repurchases forRestricted Retained Earnings

At June 30, 2022, our total required contribution to the three monthsrestricted retained earnings account was $421.4 million compared with our total contribution of $376.6 million.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make a number of judgments, estimates, and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities (if applicable), and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reported periods. Although management believes these judgments, estimates, and assumptions to be reasonably accurate, actual results may differ.

We have identified fivethree accounting estimates that we believe are critical because they require us to make subjective or complex judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain, and because of the likelihood that materially different amounts would be reported under different conditions or using different assumptions. These estimates include accounting for derivatives, the use of fair-value estimates, and accounting for deferred premiums and discounts on prepayable assets, the allowance for loan losses, and other-than-temporary-impairment of investment securities.assets. The Audit Committee of our board of directors has reviewed these estimates. The assumptions involved in applying these policies are discussed in

LEGISLATIVE AND REGULATORY DEVELOPMENTS

RecentWe summarize certain significant legislative and regulatory actions and related developments are summarizedfor the period covered by this
report below.

Information Security Management Advisory Bulletin.FHFA Director’s Testimony to House Committee on Financial Services. On September 28, 2017,July 20, 2022, FHFA Director Sandra Thompson gave testimony to the House Financial Services Committee indicating that the FHFA issued an Advisory Bulletinintends to review the FHLBank System. Director Thompson’s testimony indicated that supersedes previous guidance on an FHLBank’s information security program. The Advisory Bulletin describes three main components of an information security program and provides the expectation that each FHLBank will use a risk-based approach to implement its information security program. The Advisory Bulletin contains expectations related to (i) governance, including guidance related to roles and responsibilities, risk assessments, industry standards, and cyber-insurance; (ii) engineering and architecture, including guidance on network security, software security, and security of endpoints; and (iii) operations, including guidance on continuous monitoring, vulnerability management, baseline configuration, asset life cycle, awareness and training, incident response and recovery, user access management, data classification and protection, oversight of third parties, and threat intelligence sharing.

We do not expect this advisory bulletin to materially affect our financial condition or results of operations.

Minority and Women Inclusion.On July 25, 2017, the FHFA publishedplans to engage a final rule, effective August 24, 2017, amending its Minority and Women Inclusion regulationsvariety of stakeholders in addition to clarifyholding public listening sessions throughout the scopecountry as part of the FHLBanks’ obligation to promote diversity and ensure inclusion.review. The final rule updates the existing FHFA regulations aimed at promoting diversity and the inclusion and use of minorities, women, and individuals with disabilities, and the businesses they own (MWDOB) in all FHLBank business and activities, including management, employment, and contracting. The final rule:

requires the FHLBanks to develop standalone diversity and inclusion strategic plans or incorporate diversity and inclusion into their existing strategic planning processes and adopt strategies for promoting diversity and ensuring inclusion;
encourages the FHLBanks to expand contracting opportunities for minorities, women, and individuals with disabilities through subcontracting arrangements;
requires the FHLBanks to develop policies that address reasonable accommodations for employees to observe their religious beliefs;
requires the FHLBanks to amend their policies on equal opportunity in employment by adding sexual orientation, gender identity, and status as a parent to the list of protected classifications;
requires the FHLBanks to provide information in their annual reports to the FHFA about their efforts to advance diversity and inclusion through financial transactions, identification of ways in which FHLBanks might be able to improve MWDOB business with the FHLBank by enhancing customer access by MWDOB businesses, including through its affordable housing and community investment programs and strategies for promoting the diversity of supervisors and managers; and
requires the FHLBanks to classify and provide additional data in their annual reports about the number of and amounts paid under its contracts with MWDOB.

We do not expect this final rule to materially affect our financial condition or results of operations, but anticipate that it may result in increased compliance costs and substantially increase the amount of tracking, monitoring, and reporting that would be required of us.

FHLBank Capital Requirements. On July 3, 2017, the FHFA published a proposed rule to adopt, with amendments, the regulations of the Federal Housing Finance Board (predecessor to the FHFA) pertaining to the capital requirements for the FHLBanks. The proposed rule would carry over most of the existing regulations without material change but would substantively revise the credit risk component of the risk-based capital requirement, as well as the limitations on extensions of unsecured credit. The main revisions would remove requirementsDirector’s testimony also indicated that the FHLBanks calculate credit risk capital chargesreview would examine matters ranging from the System’s membership base, operational efficiency, and unsecured credit limits based on ratings issued by a NRSRO,effectiveness to more foundational questions about its mission, purpose, and instead, require that the FHLBanks establish and use their own internal rating methodology. With respect to derivatives, the proposed rule would impose a capital charge for cleared derivatives, to align with the Dodd-Frank Act’s clearing mandate. The proposed rule also would revise the percentages used in the regulation’s tables to calculate credit risk capital charges for advances and for non-mortgage assets. The FHFA proposes to retain, for now, the percentages used in the tables to calculate capital charges for mortgage-related assets, and to address the methodology for residential mortgage assets at a later date. While a March 2009 regulatory directive pertaining to certain

76

Table of Contents


liquidity matters will remain in place, the FHFA also proposes to rescind certain minimum regulatory liquidity requirements for the FHLBanks and address these liquidity requirements in a separate rulemaking.

We submitted a joint comment letter with the other FHLBanks on August 31, 2017. We are continuing to evaluate the proposed rule but do not expect this rule, if adopted in final form, to materially affect our financial condition or results of operations.

Other Significant Developments

Mandatory Contractual Stay Requirements for Qualified Financial Contracts (QFCs). On September 12, 2017, the Federal Reserve Board (FRB) published a final rule, effective November 13, 2017, requiring certain global systemically important banking institutions (GSIBs) regulated by the FRB to amend their covered qualified financial contracts (QFCs) to limit a counterparty’s immediate termination or exercise of default rights under the QFCs in the event of bankruptcy or receivership of the GSIB or an affiliate of the GSIB. Covered QFCs include derivatives, repurchase agreements (known as repos) and reverse repos, and securities lending and borrowing agreements. On September 27, 2017, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) adopted a substantively identical final rule, effective January 1, 2018, with respect to QFCs entered into with certain FDIC-supervised institutions.

Although we are not a covered entity under these rules, as a counterparty to covered entities under QFCs, we may be required to amend QFCs entered into with FRB-regulated GSIBs or applicable FDIC-supervised institutions. These rules may impact our ability to terminate business relationships with covered entities and could adversely impact the amount we recover in the event of the bankruptcy or receivership of a covered entity. We do not expect these final rules to materially affect our financial condition or results of operations.

LIBOR. On July 27, 2017, the United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), which regulates LIBOR, announced its intention to stop persuading or compelling the group of major banks that sustains LIBOR to submit rate quotations after 2021. Previously, the FRB had convened the Alternative Reference Rates Committee (ARRC) to identify a set of alternative reference interest rates for possible use as market benchmarks. In June 2017, the ARRC recommended an alternative reference rate, and in August 2017, the FRB requested public comment on a proposal to begin publishing that rate and two other alternative rates beginning in 2018. Other financial services regulators and industry groups are evaluating the possible phase-out of LIBOR and the development of alternative interest rate indices or reference rates. As noted throughout this report, many of our assets and liabilities are indexed to LIBOR.organization. At this time, it is not possible to predictdetermine when these events will occur, whether LIBORany actions will ceaseresult from them, and how they will ultimately impact us or the FHLBank System as a whole.

Amendments to FINRA Rule 4210: Margining of Covered Agency Transactions. On July 29, 2022, the Financial Industries Regulatory Authority (FINRA) filed a proposed rule with the SEC that would extend the implementation date of its amendments to FINRA Rule 4210 delaying the effectiveness of margining requirements for covered agency transactions from October 26, 2022 until at least April 24, 2023. Once the margining requirements are effective, we may be required to collateralize our transactions that are covered agency transactions, which include to be available after 2021 or whatannounced transactions (TBAs). These collateralization requirements could have the anticipated impacteffect of these developments will bereducing the overall profitability of engaging in covered agency transactions, including TBAs. We do not expect this rule to have a material effect on our business,financial condition or results of operationsoperations.

LIBOR Transition

Proposed Rule Implementing the Adjustable Interest Rate (LIBOR) Act. On July 28, 2022, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the Board) published a proposed rule with a comment deadline of August 29, 2022, that would implement the Adjustable Interest Rate (LIBOR) Act (the Act). The proposed rule would provide default rules for certain contracts (covered contracts) that: reference LIBOR, are governed by U.S. law, do not mature on or before the LIBOR replacement date of June 30, 2023, and lack adequate provisions to identify a replacement rate for LIBOR. The proposed rule identifies separate Board-selected replacement rates for derivatives transactions, covered GSE contracts, and all other covered contracts. The proposed rule defines covered GSE contracts to include FHLBank advances. Accordingly, we continue to take steps to mitigate the risks that arise from the phase out of LIBOR, which includes reviewing the proposed rule, but are not yet able to predict the extent to which the proposed rule would impact our financial condition.condition or results of operations.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Sources and Types of Market and Interest-Rate Risk

Our balance sheet is comprised of different portfolios that require different types of market- and interest-rate-risk management strategies. The majority of our balance sheet is comprised of assets that can be funded individually or collectively without imposing significant residual interest-rate risk on ourselves. Sources and types of market and interest-rate risk are described in Part II — Item 7A — Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk — Sources and Types of Market and Interest-Rate Risk in the 20162021 Annual Report.

Strategies to Manage Market and Interest-Rate Risk

General

Table of Contents

We use various strategies and techniques in an effort to manage our market and interest-rate risk including the following and combinations of the following:

the issuance of COs that can be used to match interest-rate-risk exposures of our assets (at SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2022, fixed-rate noncallable debt, not hedged by interest-rate swaps, amounted to $15.1$6.9 billion, compared with $13.5$8.4 billion at December 31, 2016)2021);

the issuance of CO bonds together with interest-rate swaps (either cleared if no optionality or uncleared if containing optionality) that receive a coupon rate that offsets the bond coupon rate and any optionality embedded in the bond, thereby effectively creating a floating-rate liability (total CO bond debt used in

the issuance of advances together with interest-rate swaps that pay a coupon rate that offsets the advance coupon rate and any optionality embedded in the advance, thereby effectively creating a floating-rate asset (total advances used in conjunction with interest-rate-exchange agreements, including both fair-value hedge relationships and economic hedge relationships, was $2.9 billion, or 9.7 percent of our total outstanding advances at June 30, 2022, compared with $3.0 billion, or 24.6 percent of total outstanding advances, at December 31, 2021);
the purchase of available-for-sale securities together with interest-rate swaps that pay a coupon rate that offsets the security’s coupon rate, thereby effectively creating a floating-rate asset (total available-for-sale securities used in conjunction with interest-rate-exchange agreements was $12.6 billion, or 86.4 percent of our total outstanding available-for-sale securities at June 30, 2022, compared with $10.8 billion, or 85.2 percent of total outstanding available-for-sale securities, at December 31, 2021);
contractual provisions for certain advances that require borrowers to pay us prepayment fees, to make us financially indifferent if the borrower prepays such advances prior to maturity; and

Each of the foregoingOur strategies and techniques isare more fully discussed under Part II — Item 7A — Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk — Strategies to Manage Market and Interest-Rate Risk in the 20162021 Annual Report.

Measurement of Market and Interest-Rate Risk and Related Policy Constraints

We measure our exposure to market and interest-rate risk using several techniques applied to the balance sheet and to certain portfolios within the balance sheet. Principal among these measurements as applied to the balance sheet is the potential future change in market value of equity (MVE) and interest income due to potential changes in interest rates, interest-rate volatility, spreads, and market prices. We also measure Value at Risk (VaR),VaR, duration of equity, convexity,MVE sensitivity, and the other metrics discussed below.

MVE is the net economic value of total assets and liabilities, including any off-balance-sheet items.derivative transactions. In contrast to the GAAP-based shareholder's equity account, MVE represents the shareholder's equity account in present-value terms. Specifically, MVE equals the difference between the estimated market value of our assets and the estimated market value of our liabilities.liabilities, net of derivative transactions.

MVE, and in particular, the ratio of MVE to the book value of equity (BVE), is a measure of the current value of shareholder investment based on market rates, spreads, prices, and volatility at the reporting date. However, these valuations may not be fully representative of future realized prices. Valuations are based on market curvesyields and prices of individual assets, liabilities, and derivatives, and therefore embed elements of option, credit, and liquidity risk which may not be representative of future net income to be earned from the spread between asset yields and funding costs. Further, MVE does not consider future new business activities, or income or expense derived from sources other than financial assets or liabilities. For purposes of measuring this ratio, the BVE is equal to the par value of capital stock including mandatorily redeemable capital stock, retained earnings, and accumulated other comprehensive income.

We measure our exposure to market and interest-rate risk using several metrics, including:

64

Table of Contents
the ratio of MVE to BVE;
the ratio of MVE to the par value of our Class B Stock (Par Stock), which we refer to as the MVE to Par Stock ratio;
the ratio of MVE to the market value of assets, which we refer to as the economic capital ratio;
VaR, which measures the potential change in our MVE, to a 99th percent confidence interval, based on a set of stress scenarios (VaR Stress Scenarios) using historicalhistorically based interest-rate, volatility and volatilityOption Adjusted Spread (OAS) movements that have been observed over six-month intervals starting at the most recent month-end and going back monthly to 1992;1998. For risk-based capital purposes and compliance with our internal management action trigger, VaR is reported as the average of the 5 worst case scenarios.
duration of equity, which is calculated as the estimated percentage change to MVE for a 100 basis point parallel shift in rates;
MVE sensitivity, which is the estimated percent change in MVE in various shocked interest rate scenarios vs.versus base case MVE;
the duration gap of our assets and liabilities, which is the difference between the estimated durations (percentage change in market value for a 100 basis point shift in rates) of assets and liabilities (including the effect of related hedges) and reflects the extent to which estimated sensitivities to market changes, including, but not limited to, maturity and repricing cash flows for assets and liabilities are matched; and
targeted metrics for our investments in mortgage loans; and
the use of an income-simulation model that projects net interest income over a range of potential interest-rate scenarios, including parallel interest-rate shocks, nonparallel interest-rate shocks, and nonlinear changes to our funding curve and LIBOR.basis changes.

We maintain limits and management action triggers in connection with eachsome of the foregoing metrics. Those limits, management action triggers, and the foregoing market and interest-rate risk metrics are more fully discussed under Part II — Item 7A — Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk — Measurement of Market and Interest-Rate Risk and Related Policy Constraints in the 20162021 Annual Report.

The risk of the overall balance sheet as measured by VaR remained well below both its management action trigger and limit, and management decided that no reduction to the MPF risk profile was required. Should we continue to exceed our MPF VaR management action trigger, and should our VaR increase closer to its trigger and limit, we expect that management could reduce our risk exposure by making changes to the balance sheet including but not limited to altering the debt profile, which could have an adverse impact on income.December 31, 2021.

Value at Risk. VaR, which measures the potential change in our MVE, is based on a set of stress scenarios (VaR Stress Scenarios) using historically based interest-rate, volatility and option-adjusted spread (OAS) movements starting at the most recent month-end and going back monthly to 1998. For risk-based capital purposes and compliance with our internal management action trigger, VaR is reported as the average of the five worst scenarios.

FHFA Advisory Bulletin 2018-01, which was effective as of January 1, 2020, provides guidance for our determination of market risk scenarios that are incorporated into our internal market risk models. Our VaR model results utilizes interest rate, volatility and OAS shocks provided by the FHFA.

The table below presents the historical simulation VaR estimate as of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2022, and December 31, 2016,2021, and represents the estimates of potential reduction to our MVE from potential future changes in interest rates and other market factors.factors, as described above. Estimated potential market value loss exposures are expressed as a percentage of the current MVEMVE. The table is intended to represent a statistically based range of VaR exposures.

Income Simulation and areRepricing Gaps. To provide an additional perspective on market and interest-rate risks, we have an income-simulation model that projects adjusted net income over the ensuing 12-month period using a range of potential interest-rate scenarios, including parallel interest-rate shocks, nonparallel interest-rate shocks, and changes in basis risk. The income simulation metric is based on the historical relative behaviorprojections of adjusted net income divided by capital stock (including mandatorily redeemable capital stock). Projections of adjusted net income exclude a) projected prepayment of advances and prepayment penalties; b) loss on early extinguishment of debt; c) changes in fair values from hedging activities and d) changes in fair values of trading securities. The simulations are solely based on simulated movements in interest rates and other market factorsdo not reflect potential impacts of credit events, including, but not limited to, potential provision for credit losses.

Management has put in place management action triggers whereby senior management is explicitly informed of instances where our projected return on capital stock (ROCS) falls below the average yield on SOFR plus our dividend spread over a 120-business-day time horizon.

interest-rate shock scenarios limited to +/- 200 basis points. The results of this analysis for June 30, 2022, showed that in the base case our ROCS was 548 basis points over SOFR, and in the worst case modeled, the down 200 basis points scenario, our ROCS fell 57 basis points to 491 basis points over SOFR. Our ROCS spread to SOFR has remained above the management action trigger minimum during 2022. For December 31, 2021, the results of this analysis showed in the base case our ROCS was 396 basis points over SOFR, and in the worst case modeled, the down 200 basis point scenario, our ROCS fell 163 basis points to 233 basis points over SOFR.
