Background Information


The Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis is a regional wholesale bank that serves its member financial institutions in Michigan and Indiana. We are one of 11 regional FHLBanks across the United States, which, along with the Office of Finance, compose the FHLBank System established in 1932. Each FHLBank is a federal instrumentality of the United States of America that is privately capitalized and funded, receives no Congressional appropriations, and operates as an independent entity with its own board of directors, management, and employees.


Our mission is to provide reliable and readily available liquidity to our member institutions into support of housing finance and community investment. Our advance and mortgage purchase programs provide funding to assist members with asset/liability management, interest-rate risk management, mortgage pipelines, and other liquidity needs. In addition to funding, we provide various correspondent services, such as securities safekeeping and wire transfers. We also help to meet the economic and housing needs of communities and families through grants and low-cost advances that help support affordable housing and economic development initiatives.

We are wholly owned by our member institutions. All federally- insured depository institutions (including commercial banks, savings associations and credit unions), CDFIs certified by the CDFI Fund of the United States Treasury, certain non-federally insured credit unions and non-captive insurance companies are eligible to become members of our Bank if they have a principal place of business, or are domiciled, in our district states of Michigan or Indiana.

With written approval from us, a member may transfer any of its excess capital stock in our Bank to another member at par value.


As a financial cooperative, our members are also our primary customers. We are generally limited to making advances to and purchasing mortgage loans from members; however, by regulation, we are also permitted to make advances to and purchase loans from Housing Associates, but they may not purchase our stock and have no voting rights.members. We do not lend directly to or purchase mortgage loans directly from the general public.

TheOur principal funding source of our funding is the proceeds from the sale to the public of FHLBank debt instruments, known as consolidated obligations, which consist of CO bonds and discount notes. The Office of Finance was established as a joint office of the FHLBanks to facilitate the issuance and servicing of consolidated obligations. The United States government does not guarantee, directly or indirectly, our consolidated obligations, which are the joint and several obligations of all FHLBanks.

the requirement that at least 40% of our directors be non-member "independent" directors; that two of these "independent" directors have more than four years of experience representing consumer or community interests in banking services, credit needs, housing, or consumer financial protections; and that the remaining "independent" directors have demonstrated knowledge or experience in auditing or accounting, derivatives, financial management, organizational management, project development or risk management practices, or other expertise established by Finance Agency regulations;

No tax dollars are used to support the operationscomposition of our board of directors.

We maintain a Strategic Business Plan that provides the framework for our future business direction. The goals and strategies for the Bank's major business activities are encompassed in this plan, which is updated and approved by the board of directors at least annually and at any other time that revisions are deemed necessary.


Operating Segments


We manage our operations by grouping products and services within two operating segments. The segments identify the principal ways we provide services to our members. These segments reflect our two primary mission assetmission-asset activities and the manner in which they are managed from the perspective of development, resource allocation, product delivery, pricing, credit risk and operational administration.


These operating segments are (i) traditional, which consists of credit products, investments, and correspondent services and deposits; and (ii) mortgage loans, which consist substantially of mortgage loans purchased from our members through our MPP. The revenues, profit or loss, and total assets for each segment are disclosed in Notes to Financial Statements - Note 1815 - Segment Information.


Traditional.


Credit Products. We offer our members a wide variety of credit products, including advances, standby letters of credit, and lines of credit. We approve member credit requests based on our assessment of the member's creditworthiness and financial condition, as well as its collateral position. All credit products must be fully collateralized by a member's pledge of eligible assets.


Our primary credit product is advances. Members utilizeuse advances for a wide variety of purposes including, but not limited to:


funding for single-family mortgages and multi-family mortgages held in portfolio, including both conforming and non-conforming mortgages (as determined in accordance with secondary market criteria);
temporary funding during the origination, packaging, and sale of mortgages into the secondary market;
funding for commercial real estatereal-estate loans and, especially with respect to CFIs, funding for small business, small farm, and small agri-business portfolio loans;
acquiring or holding MBS;
short-term liquidity;
asset/liability and interest-rate risk management;
a cost-effective alternative to holding short-term investments to meet contingent liquidity needs;
a competitively pricedcompetitively-priced alternative source of funds, especially with respect to smaller members with less diverseless-diverse funding sources; and
low-costat-cost funding to help support affordable housing and economic development initiatives.





We offer standby letters of credit, typically for up to 10 years in term, which are rated Aaa by Moody's and AA+ by S&P. Letters of credit are performance contracts that guarantee the performance of a member to a third party and are subject to the same collateralization and borrowing limits that are applicable to advances. Letters of credit may be offered to assist members in facilitating residential housing finance, community lending, asset/liability management, or liquidity. We also offer a standby letter of credit product to collateralize public deposits.


We also offer lines of credit which allow members to fund short-term cash needs without submitting a new application for each funding request.


Advances. We offer a wide array of fixed-rate and adjustable-rate advances, on which interest is generally due monthly. The maturities of advances currently offered typically range from 1 day to 10 years, although the maximum maturity may be longer in some instances. Our primary advance products include:


Fixed-rate Bullet Advances, which have fixed rates throughout the term of the advances. These advances are typically referred to as "bullet" advances because no principal payment is due until maturity. Prepayments prior to maturity may be subject to prepayment fees. These advances can include a feature that allows for delayed settlement.

LIBOR floaters areEFFR, SOFR and the most common typeFHLBanks cost of funds index. We no longer offer new LIBOR-indexed adjustable-rate advance we extend to our members.advances.

have decreased since the origination of the advance.


We also offer customized advances to meet the particular needs of our members. Our entire menu of advance products is generally available to each creditworthy member, regardless of the member's asset size. Finance Agency regulations require us to price our credit products consistently and without discrimination to any member applying for advances. We are also prohibited from pricing our advances below our marginal cost of matching term and maturity funds in the marketplace, including embedded options, and the administrative cost associated with extending such advances to members. Therefore, advances are typically priced at standard spreads above our cost of funds. Our board-approved credit policy allows us to offer lower rates on certain types of advances transactions. Determinations of such rates are based on factors such as volume, maturity, product type, funding availability and costs, and competitive factors in regard to other sources of funds.


Advances Concentration. Credit risk can be magnified if a lender's portfolio is concentrated in a few borrowers. At December 31, 2017, our top five borrowers accounted for 45% of total advances outstanding, at par. Because of this concentration in advances, we perform frequent credit and collateral reviews on our largest borrowers. In addition, we regularly analyze the implications to our financial management and profitability if we were to lose the business of one or more of these customers.

The following tables present the par value of advances outstanding to our largest borrowers ($ amounts in millions).

Collateral. All credit products extended to a member must be fully collateralized by the member's pledge of eligible assets. Each borrowing member and its affiliates that hold pledged collateral are required to grant us a security interest in such collateral. All such security interests held by us are afforded a priority by the Competitive Equality Banking Act of 1987 over the claims of any party, including any receiver, conservator, trustee, or similar party having rights as a lien creditor, except for claims held by bona fide purchasers for value or by parties that are secured by prior perfected security interests, provided that such claims would otherwise be entitled to priority under applicable law. Moreover, with respect to federally-insured depository institution members, our claims are given certain preferences pursuant to the receivership provisions of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act.


With respect to insurance company members, however, Congress provided in the McCarran-Ferguson Act of 1945 that state law generally governs the regulation of insurance and shall not be preempted by federal law unless the federal law expressly regulates the business of insurance. Thus, if a court were to determine that the priority status afforded the FHLBanks under Section 10(e) of the Bank Act conflicts with state insurance law applicable to our insurance company members, the court might then determine that the priority of our security interest would be governed by state law, not Section 10(e). Under these circumstances, the "super lien" priority protection afforded to our security interest under Section 10(e) may not fully apply when we lend to insurance company members. However, our security interests in collateral posted by insurance company members have express statutory protections in the jurisdictions where our members are domiciled. In addition, we monitor applicable states' laws, and take all necessary action to obtain and maintain a prior perfected security interest in the collateral, including by taking possession or control of the collateral when appropriate.

Collateral Status Categories.We take collateral under a blanket, specific listings or possession status depending on the credit quality of the borrower, the type of institution, and our lien position on assets owned by the member (i.e., blanket, specific, or partially subordinated). The blanket status is the least restrictive and allows the member to retain possession of the pledged collateral, provided that the member executes a written security agreement and agrees to hold the collateral for our benefit. Under the specific listings status, the member maintains possession of the specific collateral pledged, but the member generally provides listings of loans pledged with detailed loan information such as loan amount, payments, maturity date, interest rate, LTV, collateral type and FICO® scores, etc. scores. Members under possession status are required to place the collateral in possession with our Bankus or awith an approved third-party custodian in amounts sufficient to secure all outstanding obligations.





Eligible Collateral. Eligible collateral types include certain investment securities, one-to-four family first mortgage loans, multi-family first mortgage loans, deposits in our Bank, certain ORERCother real estate-related collateral assets such(such as commercial MBS, municipal securities, commercial real estate loans and home equity loans,loans), and small business loans or farm real estate loans from CFIs. While we only extend credit based on the borrowing capacity for such approved collateral, our contractual arrangements typically allow us to take other assets as collateral to provide additional protection, including (inprotection. In addition, under the case of members and former members)Bank Act, we have a lien on the borrower's stock in our Bank.Bank as security for all of the borrower's indebtedness.


We have an Anti-Predatory Lending Policy and a Subprime and Nontraditional Residential Mortgage Policy that establish guidelines for any subprime or nontraditional loans included in the collateral pledged to us. Loans that are delinquent or violate those policies do not qualify as acceptable collateral and are required to be removed from any collateral value calculation. With respect toConsistent with the CFPB home mortgage lending rules, adopted by the CFPB for residential loans originated on or after January 10, 2014, we accept loans that comply with or are exempt from the ability-to-pay requirements as collateral.


In order to help mitigate the market, credit, liquidity, operational and business risk associated with collateral, we apply an over-collateralization requirement to the book value or market value of pledged collateral to establish its lending value. Collateral that we have determined to contain a low level of risk, such as United States government obligations, is over-collateralized at a lower rate than collateral that carries a higher level of risk, such as small business loans.loans. Standard requirements range from 100% for deposits (cash) to 140% - 155% for residential mortgages pledged through blanket status. Over-collateralization requirements for eligible securities range from 103% to 190%; less traditional types of collateral have standard over-collateralization ratios up to 360%.


The over-collateralization requirement applied to asset classes may also vary depending on collateral status, sincebecause lower requirements are applied as our levels of information and control over the assets increase. Over-collateralization requirements are applied using market values for collateral in listing and possession status and book value for collateral pledged through blanket status. In no event, however, would market values assigned to whole loan collateral exceed par value. See For more information, see Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Risk Management - Credit Risk Management - Advances for more information. and Other Credit Products.

Collateral Review and Monitoring. We verify collateral balances by performing periodic, on-site collateral audits on our borrowers, which allows us to verify loan pledge eligibility, credit strength and documentation quality, as well as adherence to our Anti-Predatory Lending Policy, our Subprime and Nontraditional Residential Mortgage Policy, and other collateral policies. In addition, on-site collateral audit findings are used to adjust over-collateralization amounts to mitigate credit risk and collateral liquidity concerns.


Investments. We maintain a portfolio of investments, purchased from approved counterparties, members and their affiliates, or other FHLBanks, to provide liquidity, utilize balance sheet capacity and supplement our earnings. Our investment portfolio may only include investments deemed investment quality at the time of purchase.Higher earnings bolster our ability to support affordable housing and community investment.


Our portfolio of short-term investments in highly-rated entities ensures the availability ofare placed with large, high-quality financial institutions with investment-grade long-term credit ratings. Such investments typically include interest-bearing demand deposit accounts, unsecured federal funds to meet our members' credit needs. Our short-term investment portfolio typically includessold and securities purchased under agreements to resell, which are secured by United States Treasuries or agency MBS passthroughs, and unsecured federal funds sold.U.S. Treasury obligations. Each may be purchased with either overnight or term maturities.maturities, or in the case of demand deposit accounts, redeemed at any time during business hours. In the aggregate, the FHLBanks may represent a significant percentage of the federal funds sold market at any one time, although each FHLBank manages its investment portfolio separately.


Our liquidity portfolio also includes investments in U.S. Treasury obligations.

The longer term investment portfoliolonger-term investments typically generatesgenerate higher returns and may consist of (i) securities issued by the United States government, its agencies, and certain GSEs, and (ii) MBS and ABS issued by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Ginnie Mae that derive credit enhancement from their relationship with the United States government, and (iii) other MBS, ABS, CMOs and REMICs rated AAA or equivalent by at least two NRSROs at the time of purchase.Agency MBS.

All unsecured investments including those with our members or their affiliates, are subject to certain selection criteria. Each unsecured counterparty must be approved and has an exposure limit, which is computed in the same manner regardless of the counterparty's status as a member, affiliate of a member or unrelated party. These criteria determine the permissible amount and maximum term of the investment. SeeFor more information, see Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Risk Management - Credit Risk Management - Investments for more information..





Under Finance Agency regulations, except for certain investments authorized under state trust law for our retirement plans, we are prohibited from investing in the following types of securities:


instruments, such as common stock, that represent an equity ownership in an entity, other than stock in small business investment companies, or certain investments targeted to low-income persons or communities;
instruments issued by non-United States entities, other than those issued by United States branches and agency offices of foreign commercial banks;
non-investment grade debt instruments, other than certain investments targeted to low-income persons or communities and instruments that were downgraded after their purchase;
whole mortgages or other whole loans, except for:
those acquired under the MPP or the MPF Program;
certain investments targeted to low-income persons or communities; and
certain foreign housing loans authorized under Section 12(b) of the Bank Act; and
those acquired under an AMA program, such as MPP;
certain investments targeted to low-income persons or communities; and
certain foreign housing loans authorized under Section 12(b) of the Bank Act; and
non-United States dollar denominated securities.


In addition, we are prohibited by a Finance Agency regulation and Advisory Bulletin, as well as internal policy, from purchasing certain types of investments, such as interest-only or principal-only stripped MBS, CMOs, REMICs or ABS;Collateralized Mortgage Obligations ("CMO") and Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduits ("REMIC"); residual-interest or interest-accrual classes of CMOs, REMICs ABS and MBS; and CMOs or REMICs with underlying collateral containing pay option/negative amortization mortgage loans, unless those loans or securities are guaranteed by the United States government, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac or Ginnie Mae.


Finance Agency regulation further provides that the total book value of our investments in MBS and ABS must not exceed 300% of our total regulatory capital, consisting of Class B stock, Class A stock, if any, retained earnings, and MRCS, as of the day we purchase the investments, based on the capital amount most recently reported to the Finance Agency. If the outstanding balances of our investments in MBS and ABS exceed the limitation at any time, but were in compliance at the time we purchased the investments, we would not be considered out of compliance with the regulation, but we would not be permitted to purchase additional investments in MBS or ABS until these outstanding balances were within the capital limitation. Generally, our goal is to maintain these investments near the 300% limit.


Deposit Products. Deposit products provide a small portion of our funding resources, while also giving members a high-quality asset that satisfies their regulatory liquidity requirements.resources. We offer several types of deposit products to our members and other institutions including overnight and demand deposits. We may accept uninsured deposits from:


our members;members, which they can use to help satisfy their liquidity requirements;
institutions eligible to become members;
any institution for which we are providing correspondent services;
interest-rate swap counterparties;
other FHLBanks; or
other federal government instrumentalities.


Mortgage Loans. Mortgage loans held for portfolio consist substantially of residential mortgage loans purchased from our members through our MPP and participating interests purchasedMPP. We may also purchase or participate in 2012-2014 from the FHLBank of Topeka in residential mortgage loans that were originated by certain of its members under the MPF Program.other AMA programs. These programs help fulfill the FHLBank System's housing mission and provide an additional source of liquidity to FHLBank members that choose to sell mortgage loans into the secondary market rather than holding them in their own portfolios. TheseAMA programs are considered AMA, a core mission activity of the FHLBanks, as defined by Finance Agency regulations. For additional information, please refer to Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Analysis of Financial Condition - Mortgage Loans Held for Portfolio.

Mortgage Purchase Program.


Overview. We purchase mortgage loans directly from our members through our MPP. Members that participate in the MPP are known as PFIs. By regulation, we are not permitted to purchase loans directly from any institution that is not a member or Housing Associate of the FHLBank System, and we may not use a trust or other entity to purchase the loans. We purchase conforming, medium- or long-term, fixed-rate, fully amortizing, level payment loans predominantly for primary, owner-occupied, detached residences, including single-family properties, and two-, three-, and four-unit properties. Additionally, to a lesser degree, we purchase loans for primary, owner-occupied, attached residences (including condominiums and planned unit developments), and second/vacation homes, and investment properties.homes.





Our mortgage loan purchases are governed by the Finance Agency's AMA regulation. Further, while the regulation does not expressly limit us to purchasing fixed-rate loans, before purchasing adjustable-rate loans we would need to analyze whether such purchases would require Finance Agency approval under its New Business Activity regulation. Such regulation provides that any material change to an FHLBank's business activity that results in new risks or operations needs to be pre-approved by the Finance Agency.


Under Finance Agency regulations, all pools of mortgage loans currently purchased by us, other than government-insured mortgage loans, must have sufficient credit enhancement to be rated by us as at least investment grade. In accordance with such regulations, we limitWe operate our credit enhancement model and methodology accordingly to estimate the poolsamount of credit enhancement required for those pools. Other than for FHA mortgage loans, thatthe PFIs provide or arrange for the credit enhancement. In this way, the PFIs share the credit risk with us on conventional mortgage loans. We manage the interest-rate risk, prepayment option risk, and liquidity risk.

Our original MPP, which we will purchaseceased offering for conventional loans in 2010, relied on credit enhancement from LRA and SMI to those withachieve an implied NRSRO credit rating of at least BBB.AA based on a NRSRO model in compliance with Finance Agency regulations. In 2010, we began offering Advantage MPP for new conventional MPP loans, which utilizes an enhanced fixed LRA account for credit enhancement consistent with Finance Agency regulations, instead of utilizing a spread LRA with coverage from SMI providers. The only substantive difference between the two programs is the credit enhancement structure. Upon implementation of Advantage MPP, the original MPP was phased out and is no longer being used for acquisitions of new conventional loans. Under Advantage MPP, the funds in the LRA are established at the time of loan purchase. As a result, at the time of pool closing, the LRA is sufficient to cover expected losses in excess of the borrower's equity and PMI, if any, on a pool basis.


In 2012 - 2014, we purchased participating interests from another FHLBank in mortgage loans originated by certain of its PFIs through their participation in the Mortgage Partnership Finance® Program. In 2016, we sold a 90% participating interest in a $100 million MCC of certain newly acquired MPP loans to another FHLBank.

Mortgage Standards.All loans we purchase must meet the guidelines for our MPP or be specifically approved as an exception based on compensating factors. Our guidelines generally meet or exceed the underwriting standards of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. For example, the maximum LTV ratio for any conventional mortgage loan at the time of purchase is 95%, and borrowers must meet certain minimum credit scores depending upon the type of property or loan. In addition, we will not knowingly purchase any loan that violates the terms of our Anti-Predatory Lending Policy or our Subprime and Nontraditional Residential Mortgage Policy. Furthermore, we require our members to warrant to us that all of the loans pledged or sold to us are in compliance with all applicable laws, including prohibitions on anti-predatorypredatory lending. All loans purchased through our MPP with applications dated on or after January 10, 2014 must qualify as "Safe-Harbor Qualified Mortgages" under CFPB rules.


Under our guidelines, a PFI must:


be an active originator of conventional mortgages and have servicing capabilities, if applicable, or use a servicer that we approve;
advise us if it has been the subject of any adverse action by either Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac; and
along with its parent company, if applicable, meet the capital requirements of each state and federal regulatory agency with jurisdiction over the member's or parent company's activities.


Mortgage Loan Concentration. Our board of directors has established a limit that restricts the current outstanding balance (as determined at the last reported month end balance) of MPP loans previously purchased from any one PFI to 50%of the total MPP portfolio balance.

For the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016, and 2015, no mortgage loans outstanding previously purchased from any one PFI contributed interest income that exceeded 10% of our total interest income. See Item 1A. Risk Factors - A Loss of Significant Borrowers, PFIs, Acceptable Loan Servicers or Other Financial Counterparties Could Adversely Impact Our Profitability, Our Ability to Achieve Business Objectives, Our Ability to Pay Dividends or Redeem or Repurchase Capital Stock, and Our Risk Concentration for additional information.

Credit Enhancement.FHA mortgage loans are backed by insurance provided by the United States government and, therefore, no additional credit enhancements (such as an LRA or SMI) are required.


For conventional mortgage loans, the credit enhancement required to reach the minimum credit rating is determined by using an NRSROa credit risk model. The model is used to evaluate each MCC or pool of MCCs to ensure the LRA percentage as credit enhancement is sufficient. The model evaluates the characteristics of the loans the PFIs actually delivered for the likelihood of timely payment of principal and interest. The model's results are based on numerous standard borrower and loan attributes, such as the LTV ratio loan purpose (suchand borrower's credit score, as purchase of home, refinance, or cash-out refinance), type of documentation, incomewell as housing market factors, such as the Home Price Index and debt expense ratios and credit scores.zip code. Based on the credit assessment, we are required to hold risk-based capital to help mitigate the potential credit risk in accordance with the Finance Agency regulations.






Our original MPP, which we ceased offering for conventional loans in November 2010, relied on credit enhancement from LRA and SMI to achieve an implied credit rating of at least AA based on an NRSRO model in compliance with Finance Agency regulations. In November 2010, we began offering MPP Advantage for new conventional MPP loans, which utilizes an enhanced fixed LRA for additional credit enhancement, resulting in an implied credit rating of at least BBB, consistent with Finance Agency regulations, instead of utilizing coverage from an SMI provider. The only substantive difference between the two programs is the credit enhancement structure. For both the original MPP and MPP Advantage, the funds in the LRA are established in an amount sufficient to cover expected losses in excess of the borrower's equity and PMI, if any, and used to pay losses on a pool basis.

Credit losses on defaulted mortgage loans in a pool are paid fromabsorbed by these sources, until they are exhausted, in the following order:


borrower's equity;
PMI, if applicable;
LRA;
SMI, if applicable; and
our Bank.

LRA. We use either a "spread LRA" or a "fixed LRA" for credit enhancement. The spread LRA is used in combination with SMI for credit enhancement of conventional mortgage loans purchased under our original MPP, and the fixed LRA is used for all acquisitions of conventional mortgage loans under MPP Advantage.Advantage MPP.


Original MPP. The spread LRA is funded through a reduction to the net yield earned on the loans, and the corresponding purchase price paid to the PFI reflects our reduced net yield. The LRA for each pool of loans is funded monthly at an annual rate ranging from 6 to 20 bps, depending on the terms of the MCC, and is used to pay loan loss claims or is held until the LRA accumulates to a required "release point." The release point is 20 to 85 bps of the then outstanding principal balances of the loans in that pool, depending on the terms of the original contract. If the LRA exceeds the required release point, the excess amount is eligible for return to the PFI(s) that sold us the loans in that pool, generally subject to a minimum five-year lock-out period after the pool is closed to acquisitions.


MPP Advantage. Advantage MPP. The LRA for Advantage MPP Advantage differs from our original MPP in that the funding of the fixed LRA occurs at the time we acquire the loan and is based on the principal amount purchased. Depending on the terms of the MCC, the LRA funding amount varies between 110 bps and 120130 bps of the principal amount. LRA funds not used to pay loan losses may be returned to the PFI subject to a releaseretention schedule detailed in each MCC based on the original LRA amount. NoPer the retention schedule, no LRA funds are returned to the PFI for the first five years after the pool is closed to acquisitions. We absorb any losses in excess of available LRA funds.

SMI. For pools of loans acquired under our original MPP, we have credit protection from loss on each loan, where eligible, through SMI, which provides insurance to cover credit losses to approximately 50% of the property's original value, depending on the SMI contract terms, and subject, in certain cases, to an aggregate stop-loss provision in the SMI policy. Some MCCs that equal or exceed a contract amount of $35 million of total initial principal to be sold on a "best-efforts" basis include an aggregate loss/benefit limit or "stop-loss" that is equal to the total initial principal balance of loans under the MCC multiplied by the stop-loss percentage (ranges from 200 - 400 bps), as is then in effect, and represents the maximum aggregate amount payable by the SMI provider under the SMI policy for that pool. Even with the stop-loss provision, the aggregate of the LRA and the amount payable by the SMI provider under an SMI stop-loss contract will be equal to or greater than the amount of credit enhancement required for the pool to have an implied NRSRO credit rating of at least AA at the time of purchase. Non-credit losses, such as uninsured property damage losses that are not covered by the SMI, can be recovered from the LRA to the extent that there are releasable LRA funds available. We absorb any non-credit losses greater than the available LRA. We do not have SMI coverage on loans purchased under MPP Advantage.Advantage MPP.


Pool Aggregation. We offer pool aggregation under our MPP. Our pool aggregation program is designed to reduce the credit enhancement costs to small and mid-size PFIs. PFIsUnder pool aggregation, a PFI's loans are allowed to pool their loanspooled with similar pools of loans originated by other PFIs to create aggregate pools of approximately $100 million original UPB or greater. The combination of small and mid-size PFIs' loans into one pool also assists in the evaluation of the amount of LRA needed for the overall credit enhancement.





Conventional Loan Pricing. We consider the cost of the credit enhancement (LRA and SMI, if applicable) when we formulate conventional loan pricing. Each of these credit enhancement structures is accounted for, not only in our expected return on acquired mortgage loans, but also in the risk review performed during the accumulation/pooling process. The pricing of each structure is dependent on a number of factors and is specific to the PFI or group of PFIs.


We typically receive a 0.25% fee on cash-out refinancing transactions with LTVs between 75% and 80%. Our current guidelines do not allow cash-out refinance loans above 80% LTV. We also adjust the market price we pay for loans depending upon market conditions. We continue to evaluate the scope and rate of such fees as they evolve in the industry. We do not pay a PFI any fees other than the servicing fee when the PFI retains the servicing rights.





Servicing. We do not service the mortgage loans we purchase. PFIs may elect to retain servicing rights for the loans sold to us, or they may elect to sell servicing rights to an MPP-approved servicer.


Those PFIs that retain servicing rights receive a monthly servicing fee and may be required to undergo a review by a third-party quality control contractor that advises the PFIs of any deficiencies in servicing procedures or processes and then notifies us so that we can monitor the PFIs' performance. The PFIs that retain servicing rights can sell those rights at a later date with our approval. Servicing activities, whether retained or released, are subject to review by our master servicer, BNY Mellon. If we deem servicing to be inadequate, we can require that the servicing of those loans be transferred to a servicer that is acceptable to us.


The servicers are responsible for all aspects of servicing, including, among other responsibilities, the administration of any foreclosure and claims processes from the date we purchase the loan until the loan has been fully satisfied. Our MPP was designed to require loan servicers to foreclose and liquidate in the servicer's name rather than in our name. As the servicer progresses through the process from foreclosure to liquidation, we are paid in full for all unpaid principal and accrued interest on the loan through the normal remittance process.


It is the servicer's responsibility to initiate loss claims for losses on the loans. No payments fromIf a loss is expected, no claims are settled until we have reviewed and approved the LRA (other than excess amounts released to the PFI over a period of time in accordance with each MCC) or SMI are made prior to the claims process.claim. For loans that are credit-enhanced with SMI, if it is determined that a loss is covered,covered, the SMI provider pays the claim in full and seeks reimbursement from the LRA funds. The SMI provider is entitled to reimbursement for credit losses from funds available in the LRA that are equal to the aggregate amounts contributed to the LRA less any amounts paid for previous claims and any amounts that have been released to the PFI from the LRA or paid to us to cover prior claims. If the LRA has been depleted but is still being funded, based on our contractual arrangement, we and/or the SMI provider are entitled to reimbursement from those funds as they are received, up to the full reimbursable amount of the claim. These claim payments would be reflected as additional deductions from the LRA as they were paid. See Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Risk Management - Credit Risk Management - Mortgage Loans Held for Portfolio - MPP for additional information.


Housing Goals. TheBank Act requires the Finance Agency to establish low-income housing goals for mortgage purchases. Under its housing goals regulation, the Finance Agency may establish low-income housing goals for FHLBanks that acquire, in any calendar year, more than $2.5 billion of conventional mortgages through an AMA program. If we exceed this volume threshold and fail to meet any affordable housing goals established by the Finance Agency that were determined by the Director to have been feasible, we may be required to submit a housing plan to the Finance Agency.

In 2016 and 2015, our conventional mortgage purchase volume exceeded $2.5 billion. The Finance Agency determined with respect to those two years, however, that it would not require us to submit a housing plan, which could otherwise have been required under the regulation.

Funding Sources


The primary source of funds for each of the FHLBanks is the sale of consolidated obligations, which consist of CO bonds and discount notes. The Finance Agency and the United States Secretary of the Treasury oversee the issuance of this debt in the capital markets. Finance Agency regulations govern the issuance of debt on our behalf and authorize us to issue consolidated obligations through the Office of Finance, under Section 11(a) of the Bank Act. No FHLBank is permitted to issue individual debt without the approval of the Finance Agency.





While the primary liability for consolidated obligations issued to provide funds for a particular FHLBank rests with that FHLBank, consolidated obligations are the joint and several obligations of all of the FHLBanks under Section 11(a). Although each FHLBank is a GSE, consolidated obligations are not obligations of, and are not guaranteed by, the United States government. Consolidated obligations are backed only by the financial resources of all of the FHLBanks. Our consolidated obligationsthe FHLBanks and are rated Aaa by Moody's and AA+ by S&P.


Consolidated Obligation Bonds. CO bonds satisfy term funding requirements and are issued with a variety of maturities and terms under various programs. The maturities of these securities may range from 43 months to 30 years,but the maturities are not subject to any statutory or regulatory limit. CO bonds can be fixedfixed- or adjustable rateadjustable-rate and callable or non-callable. Those issued with adjustable-rate payment terms use a variety of indices for interest rate resets, including LIBOR, Federal Funds, United States Treasury Bill, Constant Maturity Swap, Prime Rate, SOFR, and others. CO bonds are issued and distributed through negotiated or competitively bid transactions with approved underwriters or selling group members.


Consolidated Obligation Discount Notes. We also issue discount notes to provide short-term funds. These securities can have maturities that range from one day to one year, and are offered daily through a discount note selling group and other authorized securities dealers. Discount notes are generally sold below their face values and are redeemed at par when they mature.


Office of Finance. The issuance of consolidated obligations is facilitated and executed by the Office of Finance, which also services all outstanding debt, provides information on capital market developments to the FHLBanks, and manages our relationship with the NRSROs with respect to consolidated obligations. The Office of Finance also prepares and publishes the FHLBanks' combined quarterly and annual financial reports.


As the FHLBanks' fiscal agent for debt issuance, the Office of Finance can control the timing and amount of each issuance. Through its oversight of the United States financial markets, the United States Treasury can also affect debt issuance for the FHLBanks. See For more information, see Item 1. Business - Supervision and Regulation - Government Corporations Control Act for additional information..

Community Investment and Affordable Housing Programs

Each FHLBank is required to set aside 10% of its annual net earnings before interest expense on MRCS to fund its AHP, subject to an annual FHLBank System-wide minimum of $100 million. Through our AHP, we may provide cash grants or interest subsidies on advances to our members, which are, in turn, provided to awarded projects or qualified individuals to finance the purchase, construction, or rehabilitation of very low- to moderate-income owner-occupied or rental housing. Our AHP includes the following:

Competitive Program, which is the primary grant program to finance the purchase, construction or rehabilitation of housing for individuals with incomes at or below 80% of the median income for the area, and to finance the purchase, construction, or rehabilitation of rental housing, with at least 20% of the units occupied by, and affordable for, very low-income households. Each year, 65% of our annual available AHP funds are granted through this program.

Set-Aside Programs, which include 35% of our annual available AHP funds, are administered through the following:

Homeownership Opportunities Program, which provides assistance with down payments and closing costs to first-time homebuyers;
Neighborhood Impact Program, which provides rehabilitation assistance to homeowners to help improve neighborhoods;
Accessibility Modifications Program, which provides funding for accessibility modifications and minor home rehabilitation for eligible senior homeowners or owner-occupied households with one or more individuals having a permanent disability; and
Disaster Relief Program, which may be activated at our discretion in cases of federal or state disaster declarations for rehabilitation or down payment assistance targeted to low- or moderate-income homeowner disaster victims.

In addition, we offer a variety of specialized advance programs to support housing and community development needs. Through our Community Investment Program, we offer advances to our members involved in community economic development activities benefiting low- or moderate-income families or neighborhoods. These funds can be used for the development of housing, infrastructure improvements, or assistance to small businesses or businesses that are creating or retaining jobs in the member's community for low- and moderate-income families. These advances have maturities ranging from overnight to 20 yearsand are priced at our cost of funds plus reasonable administrative expenses.






Use of Derivatives


Derivatives are an integral part of our financial management strategies to manage identified risks inherent in our lending, investing and funding activities and to achieve our risk management objectives. Finance Agency regulations and our Enterprise Risk Management Policyrisk management policies establish guidelines for the use of derivatives. Permissible derivatives include interest-rate swaps, swaptions, interest-rate cap and floor agreements, calls, puts, futures, and forward contracts. We are only permitted to execute derivative transactions to manage interest-rate risk exposure inherent in otherwise unhedged asset or liability positions, hedge embedded options in assets and liabilities including mortgage prepayment risk positions, hedge any foreign currency positions, and act as an intermediary between our members and interest-rate swap counterparties. We are prohibited from trading in or the speculative use of these instruments.


Our use of derivatives is the primary way we align the preferences of investors for the types of debt securities they want to purchase and the preferences of member institutions for the types of advances they want to hold and the types of mortgage loans they want to sell. See Consistent with our risk management philosophy, we use interest-rate exchange agreements (i.e., interest-rate swaps) to convert many of the fixed-rate CO bonds that we issue to variable-rate instruments that periodically reset based on an index such as SOFR. Generally, we receive a coupon on the interest-rate swap that is identical to the coupon we pay on the CO bond while paying variable-rate coupon on the interest-rate swap that resets based on the applicable index. Typically, the formula for the variable-rate coupon also includes a spread to the index. For more information, see Notes to Financial Statements - Note 118 - Derivatives and Hedging Activitiesand Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk - Use of Derivative Hedges.

Competition

We operate in a highly competitive environment. Demand for advances is affected by, among other factors, the cost and availability of other sources of liquidity for our members, including customer deposits, brokered deposits, reciprocal deposits and public funds. We compete with other suppliers of wholesale funding, both secured and unsecured. Such other suppliers may include the United States government, the Federal Reserve Banks, corporate credit unions, the Central Liquidity Facility, investment banks, commercial banks, and in certain circumstances other FHLBanks. Large institutions may also have independent access to the national and global credit markets. Also, the availability of alternative funding sources to members, such as growth in deposits from members' banking customers, can significantly influence the demand for advances and can vary as a result of several factors, including legislative or regulatory changes, market conditions, members' creditworthiness, and availability of collateral.

Likewise, our MPP is subject to significant competition. Direct competition for purchases of mortgages comes from other buyers of conventional, conforming, fixed-rate mortgage loans, such as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. In addition, PFIs face increased origination competition from originators that are not our members.

We also compete with Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and other GSEs as well as corporate, sovereign, and supranational entities for funds raised through the issuance of CO bonds and discount notes. Increases in the supply of competing debt products may, in the absence of increases in demand, result in higher debt costs to us or lesser amounts of debt issued at the same cost than otherwise would be the case.

Each FHLBank is required to set aside 10% of its annual net earnings before interest expense on MRCS to fund its AHP. Through our AHP, we may provide cash grants or interest subsidies on advances to our members, which are, in turn, provided to awarded projects or qualified individuals to finance the purchase, construction, or rehabilitation of very low- to moderate-income owner-occupied or rental housing. Our AHP includes the following:

Competitive Program, which is the primary grant program to finance the purchase, construction or rehabilitation of housing for individuals with incomes at or below 80% of the median income for the area, and to finance the purchase, construction, or rehabilitation of rental housing, with at least 20% of the units occupied by, and affordable for, very low-income households. Each year, 65% of our annual available AHP funds are granted through this program. AHP-related advances, of which none were outstanding at December 31, 2022, are also part of this program.
Set-Aside Programs, which include 35% of our annual available AHP funds, are administered through the following:

Homeownership Opportunities Program, which provides assistance with down payments and closing costs to first-time homebuyers;
Neighborhood Impact Program, which provides rehabilitation assistance to homeowners to help improve neighborhoods;
Accessibility Modifications Program, which provides funding for accessibility modifications and minor home rehabilitation for eligible senior homeowners or owner-occupied households with one or more information.individuals having a permanent disability; and

Disaster Relief Program, which may be activated at our discretion in cases of federal or state disaster declarations for rehabilitation or down payment assistance targeted to low- or moderate-income homeowner disaster victims. The disaster relief program was not activated in 2022.

In addition to our required allocation, which totaled $20 million in 2022, we support and provide voluntary funding to our AHP and various affordable housing, small business and community investment programs. In 2022, such voluntary funding included an additional 2.5% of net earnings.

Under our Elevate program, we support the growth and development of small businesses in Michigan and Indiana by providing grant funding for capital expenditures, workforce training, or other business-related needs. The total amounts awarded in 2022 were $0.5 million.

Community Mentors is an annual community engagement and economic development leadership program which includes a workshop and accompanying implementation grant of $10 thousand to one Michigan and one Indiana community which is awarded following an application process.

Our voluntary allocation in 2022 totaled $6 million. As a result, our combined required and voluntary allocation in 2022 totaled $26 million.

In addition, we offer a variety of specialized advance programs to support housing and community development needs. Through our Community Investment Program, we offer advances to our members involved in community economic development activities benefiting low- or moderate-income families or neighborhoods. These funds can be used for the development of housing, infrastructure improvements, or assistance to small businesses or businesses that are creating or retaining jobs in the member's community for low- and moderate-income families. These advances typically have maturities ranging from overnight to 20 yearsand are priced at our cost of funds plus reasonable administrative expenses. At December 31, 2022, we had $1.0 billion of outstanding principal on Community Investment Program-related advances.


Human Capital Resources

The Bank’s human capital is a significant contributor to the successful achievement of our strategic business objectives. In managing the Bank’s human capital, we focus on our workforce profile and the various associated programs and philosophies.

Workforce Profile.

Our workforce is substantially comprised of corporate office-based employees, with our operations in Indianapolis, Indiana and limited activities in a newly-established hub in Detroit, Michigan. As of December 31, 2022, the Bank had 257 full-time and 1 part-time employee, of which 58% were male and 42% were female, while 73% were non-minority and 27% were minority.

Our workforce historically has included a large number of longer-tenured employees. As of December 31, 2022, the average tenure of the Bank’s employees was 7.9 years. There are no collective bargaining agreements with our employees.

We seek to attract, develop, and retain talented employees to achieve our strategic business objectives, enhance business performance and provide a reasonable risk-return balance for our cooperative members, both as users of our products and as shareholders, tailored to our status and risk appetite as a housing GSE. We strive to both develop talent from within and hire externally, as needed. We believe that developing talent internally results in building bench strength, retaining institutional knowledge, increasing workforce continuity and promoting loyalty and commitment in our employee base, while adding new employees contributes to new ideas, continuous improvement, and our goals of a diverse and inclusive workforce.

Performance Management.

Our performance management framework includes establishing individual performance goals tailored to reflect business and development objectives while also reflecting our guiding principles for our corporate culture, periodic performance check-ins, and annual performance reviews. Overall annual performance ratings are calibrated and salary adjustments are differentiated for our highest performers.

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Program.

Our Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion program is a strategic business priority. Our Senior Vice President – Chief Human Resources and Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion Officer is a member of our executive management team, reports directly to our President-CEO, and serves as a liaison to the board of directors. We recognize that diversity increases capacity for innovation and creativity, that equity recognizes the essential contributions of all of our employees, and that inclusion allows us to leverage the unique perspectives of all employees and strengthens our retention efforts. We evaluate inclusive behaviors as part of our annual performance management process.

Our commitment is demonstrated through the development and execution of a three-year Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Strategic Plan ("DEI Strategic Plan"). The DEI Strategic Plan focuses on Workforce, Workplace, Community, Supplier Diversity, and Capital Markets and includes quantifiable metrics to measure the program's success, which are reported regularly to senior management and the board of directors. We consider learning an important component of our DEI Strategic Plan, so we offer a range of opportunities for our employees to connect and grow personally and professionally through our Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Council, Cultural Ambassadors, FHLBI Cares, cultural awareness events, and employee resource groups.

Supervision and Regulation


Our business is subject to extensive regulation and supervision. The Bank Act. laws and regulations to which we are subject cover all key aspects of our business, and directly and indirectly affect our product and service offerings, pricing, competitive position, strategic plan, relationships with members and third parties, capital structure, cash needs and uses, and information security. As discussed throughout this Form 10-K, such regulations can have a significant effect on key drivers of our results of operations.

We are supervised and regulated by the Finance Agency, an independent agency in the executive branch of the United States government, established by HERA.the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008.


Under theThe Bank Act, theAct. The Finance Agency's responsibility is to ensure that, pursuant to the Bank Act and regulations promulgated by the Finance Agency, each FHLBank:


carries out its housing finance mission;
remains adequately capitalized and able to raise funds in the capital markets; and
operates in a safe and sound manner.


The Finance Agency is headed by a Director, who is appointed to a five-year term by the President of the United States, with the advice and consent of the Senate. The Director appoints a Deputy Director for the Division of Enterprise Regulation, a Deputy Director for the Division of FHLBank Regulation, and a Deputy Director for Housing Mission and Goals, who oversees the housing mission and goals of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, as well as the housing finance and community and economic development mission of the FHLBanks. HERA

The Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008 also established the Federal Housing Finance Oversight Board, comprised of the Secretaries of the Treasury and HUD,the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development, the Chair of the SEC, and the Finance Agency Director. The Federal Housing Finance Oversight Board functions as an advisory body to the Finance Agency Director.

The Finance Agency's operating expenses are funded by assessments on the FHLBanks, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. As such, no tax dollars or other appropriations support the operations of the Finance Agency or the FHLBanks. In addition to reviewing our submissions of monthly and quarterly information on our financial condition and results of operations, the Finance Agency conducts annual on-site examinations and performs periodic on- and off-site reviews in order to assess our safety and soundness.





The United States Treasury receives a copy of the Finance Agency's annual report to Congress, monthly reports reflecting the FHLBank System's securities transactions, and other reports reflecting the FHLBank System's operations. Our annual financial statements are audited by an independent registered public accounting firm in accordance with standards issued by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, as well as the government auditing standards issued by the United States Comptroller General. The Comptroller General has authority under the Bank Act to audit or examine the Finance Agency and the FHLBank System and to decide the extent to which they fairly and effectively fulfill the purposes of the Bank Act. The Finance Agency's Office of Inspector General also has investigation authority over the Finance Agency and the FHLBank System.


GLB Act AmendmentsEach FHLBank is required to the Bank Act. The GLB Act amended the Bank Act to require that each FHLBank maintain a capital structure comprised of Class A stock, Class B stock, or both. A member can redeem Class A stock upon six months' prior written notice to its FHLBank. A member can redeem Class B stock upon five years' prior written notice to its FHLBank. Class B stock has a higher weighting than Class A stock for purposes of calculating the minimum leverage requirement applicable to each FHLBank.





The Bank Act requires that each FHLBank maintain permanent capital and total capital in sufficient amounts to comply with specified, minimum risk-based capital and leverage capital requirements. From time to time, for reasons of safety and soundness, the Finance Agency may require one or more individual FHLBanks to maintain more permanent capital or total capital than is required by the regulations. Failure to comply with these requirements or the minimum capital requirements could result in the imposition of operating agreements, cease and desist orders, civil money penalties, and other regulatory action, including involuntary merger, liquidation, or reorganization as authorized by the Bank Act.


HERA Amendments to the Bank Act. In addition to establishing the Finance Agency, HERA eliminated regulatory authority to appoint directors to our board. HERA also eliminated regulatory authority to cap director fees (subject to the Finance Agency's review of reasonableness of such compensation), but placed additional controls over executive compensation.

Government Corporations Control Act. We are subject to the Government Corporations Control Act, which provides that, before we can issue and offer consolidated obligations to the public, the Secretary of the United States Treasury must prescribe the form, denomination, maturity, interest rate, and conditions of the obligations; the way and time issued; and the selling price.


Furthermore, this Act provides that the United States Comptroller General may review any audit of the financial statements of an FHLBank conducted by an independent registered public accounting firm. If the Comptroller General undertakes such a review, the results and any recommendations must be reported to Congress, the Office of Management and Budget, and the FHLBank in question. The Comptroller General may also conduct a separate audit of any of our financial statements.


Federal Securities Laws. Our shares of Class B stock are registered with the SEC under the Exchange Act, and we are generally subject to the information, disclosure, insider trading restrictions, and other requirements under the Exchange Act, with certain exceptions. Our capital plan authorizes us to also issue Class A stock, but we have not issued any such stock. We are not subject to the registration provisions of the Securities Act. We have been, and continue to be, subject to all relevant liability provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act.


Federal and State Banking Laws. We are generally not subject to the state and federal banking laws affecting United States retail depository financial institutions. However, the Bank Act requires the FHLBanks to submit reports to the Finance Agency concerning transactions involving loans and other financial instruments that involve fraud or possible fraud. In addition, we are required to maintain an anti-money laundering program, under which we are required to report suspicious transactions to the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network pursuant to the Bank Secrecy Act and the USA Patriot Act.


We contract with third-party compliance firms to perform certain services on our behalf to assist us with our compliance with these regulations as they are applicable to us. Finance Agency regulations require that we monitor and assess our third-party firms' performance of the services. As we identify deficiencies in our third-party firms' performance, we seek to remediate the deficiencies. Under certain circumstances, we are required to notify the Finance Agency about the deficiencies and our response to assure our compliance with these regulations.

As a wholesale secured lender and a secondary market purchaser of mortgage loans, we are not, in general, directly subject to the various federal and state laws regarding consumer credit protection, such as anti-predatory lending laws. However, as non-compliance with these laws could affect the value of these loans as collateral or acquired assets, we require our members to warrant that all of the loans pledged or sold to us are in compliance with all applicable laws. Federal law requires that, when a mortgage loan (defined to include any consumer credit transaction secured by the principal dwelling of the consumer) is sold or transferred, the new creditor shall, within 30 days of the sale or transfer, notify the borrower of the following: the identity, address and telephone number of the new creditor; the date of transfer; how to contact an agent or party with the authority to act on behalf of the new creditor; the location of the place where the transfer is recorded; and any other relevant information regarding the new creditor. In accordance with this statute, we provide the appropriate notice to borrowers whose mortgage loans we purchase under our MPP and have established procedures to ensure compliance with this notice requirement. In the case of the participating interests in mortgage loans we purchased from the FHLBank of Topeka under the MPF Program, the FHLBank of Chicago (as the MPF Provider) issued the appropriate notice to the affected borrowers and established its own procedures to ensure compliance with the notice requirement.


Regulatory Enforcement Actions. While examination reports are confidential between the Finance Agency and an FHLBank, the Finance Agency may publicly disclose supervisory actions or agreements that the Finance Agency has entered into with an FHLBank. We are not subject to any such Finance Agency actions, and we are not aware of any current Finance Agency actions with respect to other FHLBanks that willcould have a material adverse effect on our financial results.





Membership

Our membership territory is comprised of the states of Michigan and Indiana. In 2017, we gained 4 new members and lost 16 members (10 depositories as a result of in-district mergers and consolidations as well as 6 captive insurance companies), for a net loss of 12 members.

Competition

We operate in a highly competitive environment. Member demand for advances is affected by, among other factors, the cost and availability of other sources of funds, including deposits. We compete with other suppliers of wholesale funding, both secured and unsecured. Other suppliers may include the United States government, the Federal Reserve Banks, corporate credit unions, the Central Liquidity Facility, investment banks, commercial banks, and in certain circumstances other FHLBanks. An example of this occurs when a financial holding company has subsidiary banks that are members of different FHLBanks and can, therefore, choose to take advances from the FHLBank with the best terms. Larger institutions may have access to all of these alternatives as well as independent access to the national and global credit markets. The availability of alternative funding sources can be affected by a variety of factors, including market conditions, member creditworthiness, regulatory restrictions, and collateral availability and valuation.

Likewise, our MPP is subject to significant competition. The most direct competition for mortgage purchases comes from other buyers or guarantors of government-guaranteed or conventional, conforming fixed-rate mortgage loans, such as Ginnie Mae, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

We also compete with Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and other GSEs as well as corporate, sovereign, and supranational entities for funds raised through the issuance of debt instruments. Increases in the supply of competing debt products, in the absence of increases in demand, typically result in higher debt costs to us or lesser amounts of debt issued on our behalf at the same cost than otherwise would be the case.

Employees

As of December 31, 2017, we had 238 full-time employees and 3 part-time employees. Employees are not represented by a collective bargaining unit.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
 
We use acronyms and terms throughout this Item that are defined herein or in the Glossary ofDefined Terms.


We have identified the following risk factors that could have a material adverse effect on our Bank. There may be other risks and uncertainties, including those discussed elsewhere in this Form 10-K, that are not described in these risk factors.


Business Risk - Economic

Economic Conditions and Policy, Global Political or Economic Events Could Have an Adverse Effect on Our Business, Liquidity, Financial Condition, and Results of Operations.

Our business, liquidity, financial condition, and results of operations are sensitive to general domestic and international business and economic conditions, and the strength of the local economies in which we conduct business.

Our business and results of operations are significantly affected by the monetary and fiscal policies of the United States government and its agencies, including the Federal Reserve through its regulation of the supply of money and credit in the United States. These policies are directly impacted by prevailing economic conditions in the United States. For example, the FOMC's policy statements in 2022 and into 2023 provide that inflation continues to exceed the Federal Reserve's target. As a result, the FOMC has continued a series of rapid increases in the federal funds target rate throughout 2022. Such increases either directly or indirectly influence the yield on interest-earning assets, volatility of interest rates, prepayment speeds, the cost of interest-bearing liabilities and the demand for advances and for our debt. This, in turn, directly impacts our liquidity, financial condition and results of operations.

As another example, a breach or near-breach of the federal debt limit could affect us. The U.S. Treasury has advised that the debt limit has been reached and that it is taking certain cash management measures to avoid breaching the limit. The U.S. Treasury has also advised that it believes it can continue such cash management measures until some time in June 2023. If Congress does not increase the debt limit prior to the time that such measures are exhausted, the U.S. Treasury would lose its borrowing authority at such time and a broad range of government payments could not be satisfied. Such an occurrence or near occurrence is likely to cause disruptions in the capital markets and could result in higher interest rates and borrowing costs for the FHLBanks. To the extent that we cannot access funding when needed on acceptable terms to effectively manage our cost of funds, our liquidity, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

Further, a breach of the federal debt limit could trigger an economic recession resulting from the federal government's failure to make its payments and the resulting loss of market confidence. Such a recession could be severe. Any recession could adversely affect our members and, in turn, could adversely affect their demand for advances and other products and services, thereby adversely affecting our results of operations.

Additionally, we are affected by the global economy through member ownership and investments, and through capital markets exposures. Global political, economic, and business uncertainty can lead to increased volatility in capital markets. One example of this has been realized through the COVID-19 pandemic and related developments, which resulted in market uncertainty causing substantial disruptions in the financial markets and increased volatility. While the disruptions have been short-lived, the pandemic continues and a resurgence could result in further disruptions and increased volatility that could be more severe or long-lasting than prior disruptions. Disruptions could adversely affect us in many ways, including reduced market access to funding and increased costs of funding. Prolonged disruptions may also result in decreased valuations of, and reduced market and book yields on, our assets.

Another example has been realized through the geopolitical instability brought about by ongoing hostilities between Russia and Ukraine, which have led to economic and trade disruptions as well as sanctions. These and related developments have created uncertainty leading to increased volatility in certain capital markets from time to time. They have also been cited by the FOMC as contributing to upward pressure on inflation and weighing on global economic activity.




We Are Directly Impacted by the Condition of the Housing and Mortgage Markets Especially Those Markets' Conditions in Our District.

Of particular note among business and economic conditions, our business and results of operations are sensitive to the condition of the housing and mortgage markets. Adverse trends in the mortgage lending sector, including declines in home prices or loan performance, could reduce the value of collateral securing our advances and the fair value of our MBS. Such reductions in value would increase the possibility of under-collateralization, thereby increasing the risk of loss in case of a member's failure. Also, deterioration in the residential mortgage markets could negatively affect the value of our MPP portfolio, resulting in an increase in the allowance for credit losses on mortgage loans.

Our district is comprised of the states of Michigan and Indiana. Increases in unemployment and foreclosure rates or decreases in job or income growth rates in either state could result in less demand for mission-related assets and in turn, adversely affect our profitability and results of operations.

Business Risk - Legislative and Regulatory

Changes in the LegalLegislative and Regulatory Environment for FHLBanks, Our Members, Our Debt Underwriters and Investors, or Other Housing GSEs or Our Members May Adversely Affect Our Business, Demand for Products, the Cost of Debt Issuance, and the Value of FHLBank MembershipMembership.


We could be materially adversely affected by: the adoption of new or revised laws, policies, regulations or accounting guidance; new or revised interpretations or applications of laws, policies, or regulations by the Finance Agency, its Office of Inspector General, the SEC, the CFTC,United States Commodity Futures Trading Commission, the CFPB, the Financial Stability Oversight Council, the Comptroller General, the FASB or other federal or state financial regulatory bodies; or judicial decisions that alter the present regulatory environment. Likewise, whenever federal elections result in changes in the executive branch or in the balance of political parties’ representation in Congress, there is increased uncertainty as to potential administrative, regulatory and legislative actions that may materially adversely affect our business.


As an example of one source of potential regulatory change, the Director of the Finance Agency has stated that the Finance Agency is engaged in a comprehensive review of the FHLBank System. The Director of the Finance Agency has also stated that this review includes the FHLBanks' mission, purpose, organization, operational efficiency, products, services, collateral requirements, and membership eligibility, among other aspects subject to the review. Following the conclusion of the review in the coming months, the Finance Agency is expected to release a report of its findings that could include statutory and regulatory recommendations that, if accepted, could significantly alter one or more aspects of the way we do business, demand for our products and services, and the value of Bank membership. Any such regulatory change could adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition, liquidity and capital resources.

Environmental, Social and Governance, or ESG, matters could also lead to enhanced governmental, regulatory or societal attention on us or the FHLBank System in general. Such attention could lead to additional legislation or regulations increasing our compliance costs and operational burdens. For example, the SEC has proposed a rule on climate change disclosures which, if adopted as proposed, would result in significant additional climate-related disclosure requirements. Further, we could become subject to obligations to monitor the use of the proceeds of advances to avoid their deployment to societally-disfavored industries. Such impacts could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

Members.Changes impacting the environment in which our members provide financial products and services could negatively impact their ability to take full advantage of our products and services, their desire to maintain membership in our Bank, or our ability to rely on their pledged collateral. For example, recent increases in interest rates and the corresponding declines in the values of certain assets could cause one or more of our members to not have positive tangible capital. We are generally prohibited from making advances to members that do not have positive tangible capital. Thus, further rises in market interest rates could prevent us from making advances to certain members and, in turn, adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.




Products and Services.Changes that restrict the growth or alter the risk profile of our current businesslimit or prohibit the creation of new products or services could negatively impact our earnings.earnings and reduce the value of FHLBank membership. For example, our earnings could be negatively impacted by legislative or regulatory changes that (i) reduce demand for advances or limit advances we make to our members, (ii) further restrict the products and services we are able to provide to our members or how we do business with our members and counterparties, (iii) further restrict the types, characteristics or volume of mortgages that we may purchase through our MPP or otherwise reduce the economic value of MPP to our members, or (ii)(iv) otherwise require us to change the composition of our assets and liabilities. In addition, the regulatory environment affecting our members could be changed in a manner that would negatively impact their abilityAny resulting inability to take full advantage of ouradapt products and services to evolving industry standards and member preferences in a highly competitive and regulated environment, while managing our expenses, could harm our business.

Assets and Collateral.Changes that impact the types or values of assets we own or the collateral we hold could increase our risk of credit loss. For example, the CFPB has issued rules that include standards for mortgage lenders to follow during the loan approval process to determine whether a borrower has the ability to repay. Failure to satisfy those standards provides the borrower with certain rights that could impede or prevent the lender from foreclosing in the event of the borrower’s default. Any party that acquires the loan from the lender could be similarly impeded or prevented from foreclosing. We accept mortgage loans as collateral and purchase mortgage loans under AMA programs, particularly MPP. Our risk of credit loss would tend to be higher on mortgage loans that did not comply with the CFPB’s standards given the possibility of the related borrower to impede or prevent us from realizing upon the mortgage loan in the event of default. Accordingly, the CFPB’s rules could increase our risk of credit loss. The possible impacts of the realization of an increased risk of credit loss are discussed under "An Increase in Our Exposure to Credit Losses Could Adversely Affect Our Financial Condition and Results of Operations."

Liquidity and Capital.Changes impacting liquidity or capital could adversely affect our results of operations. For example, we are subject to various liquidity requirements, which may constrain our ability to rely on their pledged collateral,invest excess cash flow in higher yielding assets from time to time. If liquidity requirements are increased, we could be further restrained from otherwise investing in higher yielding assets thereby adversely affecting our earnings. Similarly, we are subject to various capital requirements. If such requirements are increased, it could result in the realization of the risks discussed under "A Failure to Meet Minimum Regulatory Capital Requirements Could Affect Our Ability to Pay Dividends, Redeem or their desire to maintain membershipRepurchase Capital Stock, Retain Existing Members and Attract New Members." By way of further example, we, together with the other FHLBanks, currently play a predominant role as lenders in our Bank. Changes to the federal funds markets. Accordingly, any disruptions in the federal funds market or any related regulatory environment thator policy change may adversely affect our cash management activities, results of operations and reputation.

Growth.Changes may either directly or indirectly restrict our growth. For example, the Finance Agency could issue an order requiring us to further constrain our growth in acquisition of assets via MPP.

Underwriters and Investors.Changes affecting our debt underwriters and investors, particularly revised capital and liquidity requirements, could also adversely affect our cost of issuing debt in the capital markets. Similarly,For example, a significant number of investors in FHLBank short-term consolidated obligations are money market funds. However, if these investors risk and return preferences or regulatory actions or public policy changes,requirements shift, their demand for this debt could decrease. Such a decrease could, due to the FHLBanks’ concentration in money market investors, lead to an inability to access funding on acceptable terms.

Other Housing GSEs.Changes impacting other housing GSEs, including those that give preference to certain sectors, business models, regulated entities, assets, or activities, could negatively impact us. For example, changes in the statusstatuses of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac during the next phases of their conservatorship or as a result of legislative or regulatory changes, may impact funding costs for the FHLBanks, which could negatively affect our business and results of operations.In addition, negative news articles, industry reports, and other announcements pertaining to GSEs, including Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac or any of the FHLBanks, could cause an increase in interest rates on all GSE debt, as investors may perceive these issuers or their debt instruments as bearing increased risk.


The Finance Agency requiresFHLBank Membership.Changes that reduce the FHLBanksbenefits of FHLBank membership or restrict the eligibility for FHLBank membership could negatively impact our results of operations.




A Failure to maintain sufficient liquidity through short-term investments in an amount at least equalMeet Minimum Regulatory Capital Requirements Could Affect Our Ability to an FHLBank's cash outflows under two hypothetical scenarios for the treatment of maturing advances. This regulatory guidance is designed to provide sufficient liquidity to protect against temporary disruptions in the capital markets that affect the FHLBanks' access to funding. To satisfy these two scenarios, we maintain balances in shorter-term investments, which may earn lower interest rates than alternate investment options. In certain circumstances we may also need to fund shorter-term advances with short-term discount notes that have maturities beyond those of the related advances, thus increasing our short-term advance pricingPay Dividends, Redeem or reducing net income through lower net interest spreads. To the extent these increased prices make our advances less competitive, advance levelsRepurchase Capital Stock, Retain Existing Members and net interest income may be negatively affected. In addition, issuance of new regulatory liquidity requirements or guidance in the future could substantially change the amount and characteristics of liquidity that weAttract New Members.

We are required to maintain whichsufficient capital to meet specific minimum requirements established by the Finance Agency. If we violate any of these requirements or if our board or the Finance Agency determines that we have incurred, or are likely to incur, losses resulting, or expected to result, in a charge against capital, we would not be able to redeem or repurchase any capital stock while such charges are continuing or expected to continue, even if the statutory redemption period had expired for some or all of such stock. Violations of, or regulator-mandated adjustments to, our capital requirements could also restrict our ability to pay dividends, lend, invest, or purchase mortgage loans or participating interests in mortgage loans, or other business activities. Moreover, the Finance Agency could set varying expectations for FHLBanks’ capital levels in ways that have potentially negative impacts on FHLBanks’ business activities. Additionally, the Finance Agency could direct us to call upon our members to purchase additional capital stock to meet our minimum regulatory capital requirements. Members may be unable or unwilling to satisfy such calls for additional capital, thereby adversely affecting their ability to continue doing business with us and their desire to remain as members. Moreover, failure to pay dividends or redeem or repurchase stock at par, or a call upon our members to purchase additional stock to restore capital, could make it more difficult for us to attract new members.

The formula for calculating risk-based capital includes factors that depend on interest rates and other market metrics outside our control and could cause our minimum requirement to increase to a point exceeding our capital level. Further, if our retained earnings were to become inadequate, the Finance Agency could initiate restrictions consistent with those associated with a failure of a minimum capital requirement.

Restrictions on the Redemption, Repurchase, or Transfer of the Bank's Capital Stock Could Result in an Illiquid Investment for the Holder, Which Could Affect Member Interest in Our Products with Capital Stock Purchase Requirements and Our Ability to Retain Existing Members and Attract New Members.

Under the Gramm-Leach Bliley Act of 1999, as amended, Finance Agency regulations, and our capital plan, our capital stock may be redeemed upon the expiration of a five-year redemption period, subject to certain conditions. In addition, subject to applicable law, we may elect to repurchase some or all of the excess capital stock of a shareholder at any time at our sole discretion.

There is no guarantee, however, that we will be able to redeem shareholders' capital stock, even at the end of the prescribed redemption period, or to repurchase their excess capital stock. If a redemption or repurchase of capital stock would cause us to fail to meet our minimum regulatory capital requirements, Finance Agency regulations and our capital plan would prohibit the redemption or repurchase. Restrictions on the redemption or repurchase of our capital stock could result in an illiquid investment for holders of our stock. In addition, because our capital stock may only be owned by our members (or, under certain circumstances, former members and certain successor institutions), and our capital plan requires our approval before a member or nonmember shareholder may transfer any of its capital stock to another member or nonmember shareholder, we cannot provide assurance that we would allow a member or nonmember shareholder to transfer any excess capital stock to another member or nonmember shareholder at any time.

Any such illiquidity could negatively affect member interest in conducting business with us when such business includes a requirement to purchase capital stock. Further, it could cause existing members to take steps to withdraw from membership and disincentivize prospective members from joining us. Any resulting loss of business could then negatively affect our results of operations and financial condition.


Business Risk - Strategic

A Loss of Significant Borrowers, PFIs, Acceptable Loan Servicers or Other Financial Counterparties Could Adversely Impact Our Profitability, Our Ability to Achieve Business Objectives, Our Ability to Pay Dividends or Redeem or Repurchase Capital Stock, and Our Risk Concentration.

Significant Borrowers. The loss of any significant borrower or PFI could adversely impact our profitability and our ability to achieve business objectives. This could result from a variety of factors, including acquisition, consolidation of charters within a bank holding company, a member's loss of market share, resolution of a financially distressed member, or regulatory changes relating to FHLBank membership. As the financial industry continues to consolidate into a smaller number of institutions, this could lead to a further loss of large members and a related decrease in advances outstanding.

For example, in December 2022, Flagstar Bancorp, Inc., the parent company of Flagstar Bank, FSB ("Flagstar"), completed its merger with a non-member depository institution. At December 31, 2022, Flagstar was our largest borrower with advances outstanding totaling $4.6 billion, or 12% of our total advances outstanding, at par. As a result of the merger, Flagstar became ineligible for Bank membership and is no longer eligible to renew its advances or use any additional Bank products and services. Loss of other large advance borrowers, without replacement of such advances by existing or new members, would be expected to reduce our interest income and profitability accordingly.

Significant PFIs.During the year ended December 31, 2022, our top-selling PFI sold us mortgage loans totaling $272 million, or 24% of the total mortgage loans purchased by the Bank in 2022. Our larger PFIs originate mortgages on properties in several states. We also purchase mortgage loans from many smaller PFIs that predominantly originate mortgage loans on properties in Michigan and Indiana. Our concentration of MPP loans on properties in Michigan and Indiana could continue to increase over time, as we do not currently limit such concentration.

Loan Servicers.We do not service the mortgage loans we purchase. PFIs may elect to retain servicing rights for the loans sold to us, or they may elect to sell servicing rights to an MPP-approved servicer. A scarcity of qualified mortgage servicers could adversely affect our business, profitability and results of operations.


Financial Counterparties.The CFPB rules includenumber of counterparties that meet our internal and regulatory standards for mortgage lenders to follow duringderivative, repurchase, federal funds sold, TBA, and other financial transactions, such as broker-dealers and their affiliates, has decreased over time. In addition, since the loan approval process to determine whether a borrower has the ability to repay the mortgage loan. The Dodd-Frank Act, provides defensesthe requirements for posting margin or other collateral to foreclosure and causes of action for damages if the mortgage lender does not meet the standards in the CFPB rules. A mortgage borrower can assert these defenses and causes of action against the original mortgage lender and against purchasers and other assignees of the mortgage loan, which would include us if we were to purchase a loan under our AMA programs or if we were to direct a servicer to foreclose on mortgage loan collateral. In addition, mortgage lenders unable to sell mortgage loans (whether because they are not qualified mortgages or otherwise) would be expected to retain such loans as assets. If we were to make advances secured, in part, by non-safe harbor qualified mortgages and subsequently liquidate such collateral, we could be subject to these defenses to foreclosure or causes of action for damages by mortgage borrowers.This risk, in turn, could reduce the value of our advances collateral, potentially reducing our likelihood of full repayment on our advances if we were required to sell such collateral.




Regulatory reform since the most recent financial crisiscounterparties has tended to increase, both in terms of the amount of margin collateral that we must provide to collateralize certain kinds of financial transactions,be posted and has broadened the categoriestypes of transactions for which we are required to post margin.margin is now required. For example, the Dodd-Frank Act and related regulatory reform has increased the margin we must provide for cleared and uncleared derivative transactions, and Financial Industry Regulatory Authority Rule 4210, willwhich is currently proposed to take effect on October 25, 2023, would require us to exchange margin on certain MBS transactions beginning in June 2018.transactions. Materially greater margin requirements - due to Dodd-Frank Act derivatives regulatory reform, Financial Industry Regulatory Authority Rule 4210,this rule, or otherwise - could adversely affect the availability and pricing of our derivative transactions, making such trades more costly and less attractive as risk management tools. New and expanded margin requirements on derivatives and MBS could also change our risk exposure to our counterparties and may require us to further enhance further our systems and processes.
Provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act may indirectly affect us due to its effects on our members. For example, this law establishes a solvency framework to address the failure of a financial institution, which could include one or more of our members or financial counterparties. Because the Dodd-Frank Act requires several regulatory bodies to carry out its provisions, its full effect remains uncertain until after the required reports to Congress are issued and implementing regulations are adopted.

Solvency frameworks comparable to the Dodd-Frank Act have been enacted by several members of the European Union pursuant to the European Bank Recovery and Resolution Directive ("BRRD") developed by the Financial Stability Board. We engage in financial transactions with counterparties which are domiciled in countries that have adopted the BRRD. The failure of any such counterparty could subject our transactions with such party to the BRRD solvency framework, the results of which may not be wholly predictable.

In addition, the federal banking regulators are undertaking rulemaking from the Basel Committee on Bank Supervision. The FDIC, OCC, and FRB have established new minimum capital standards for financial institutions that incorporate (which in some cases may further strengthen) the Basel III regulatory capital reforms. Similarly, in 2014, the FRB, OCC and FDIC jointly adopted a rule that incorporates (and in some cases increases) Basel III liquidity requirements. The liquidity coverage ratio ("LCR") rule requires certain non-banking financial organizations ("Covered Organizations") to maintain sufficient amounts of high quality liquid assets ("HQLA") to withstand a 30-day run on the Covered Organization following severe economic stress, based on certain assumptions about outflow rates for HQLAs. If the Covered Organization qualifies as an "advanced approaches" banking organization, the HQLA requirements are also applied on a consolidated basis to each United States-based banking subsidiary of such Covered Organization with more than $10.0 billion in assets. HQLAs must be unencumbered, although they may be pledged as part of a blanket lien to a U.S. central bank or GSE, as long as they do not currently support credit or access to payment services extended to the Covered Organization by such central bank or GSE. HQLAs are divided into three classes or levels. FHLBank consolidated obligations are considered "Level 2A" liquidity assets; as such they can be counted for liquidity purposes, but are subject to a 15% haircut and are capped at 40% of the liquidity requirement. This haircut could make it more costly for any Covered Organization to hold consolidated obligations, which could reduce demand for them. On the other hand, these changes appear to have increased demand for FHLBank advances from the largest depository institution members of the FHLBank System, but do not appear to have affected our members. The LCR rule provisions became fully effective as of January 1, 2017.

The combined effect of these new and amended rules may create unanticipated risks as well. For example, it is thought that the largest members of the FHLBank System have increased their advances levels to meet new Basel III regulatory requirements. At the same time, changes to SEC guidance pertaining to prime money market funds appears to have resulted in a significant increase in demand for government funds and agency debt, as well as FHLBank discount notes. These developments could influence regulatory guidance, particularly with respect to liquidity. We cannot predict what effects, if any, these developments will have on the FHLBank System as a whole or upon our Bank, nor can we predict what additional regulatory actions may be taken as a result.

Economic Conditions and Policy Could Have an Adverse Effect on Our Business, Liquidity, Financial Condition, and Results of Operations

Our business, liquidity, financial condition, and results of operations are sensitive to general domestic and international business and economic conditions, such as changes in the money supply, inflation, volatility in both debt and equity capital markets, and the strength of the local economies in which we conduct business.

Our business and results of operations are significantly affected by the fiscal and monetary policies of the United States government and its agencies, including the FRB through its regulation of the supply of money and credit in the United States. The FRB's policies either directly or indirectly influence the yield on interest-earning assets, volatility of interest rates, prepayment speeds, the cost of interest-bearing liabilities and the demand for our debt. 

The FOMC continues to maintain its policy of reinvesting principal payments from its holdings of agency debt and agency MBS in agency MBS and of rolling over maturing United States Treasury securities at auction. These policies are intended to help maintain accommodative financial conditions. However, the FRB's continuing substantial participation in both short-term and MBS markets could adversely affect us through lower yields on our investments, higher costs of debt, and disruption of member demand for our products.

Additionally, we are affected by the global economy through member ownership and investments, and through capital markets exposures. Global political, economic, and business uncertainty has led to increased volatility in capital markets and has the potential to drive volatility in the future. Continued economic uncertainties could lead to further global capital market volatility, lower credit availability, and weaker economic growth. As a result, our business could be exposed to unfavorable market conditions, lower demand for mission-related assets, lower earnings, or reduced ability to pay dividends or redeem or repurchase capital stock. 

Our business and results of operations are sensitive to the condition of the housing and mortgage markets, as well as general business and economic conditions. Adverse trends in the mortgage lending sector, including declines in home prices or loan performance trends, could reduce the value of collateral securing member credit and the fair value of our MBS. This change could increase the possibility of under-collateralization, increasing the risk of loss in case of a member's failure, or could increase the risk of loss on our MBS because of additional credit impairment charges. Also, deterioration in the residential mortgage markets could negatively affect the value of our MPP portfolio, resulting in an increase in the allowance for credit losses on mortgage loans and possible additional realized losses if we were forced to liquidate our MPP portfolio.

Our district is comprised of the states of Michigan and Indiana. Increases in unemployment and foreclosure rates or decreases in job or income growth rates in either state could result in less demand for mission-related assets and therefore lower earnings. See Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Executive Summary -Economic Environment for more information.

A Failure or Interruption in Our Information Systems, Information Systems of Third-Party Vendors or Service Providers; Unavailability of, or an Interruption of Service at, Our Main Office or Our Backup Facilities; or a Cybersecurity Event Could Adversely Affect Our Business, Risk Management, Financial Condition, Results of Operations, and Reputation

We rely heavily on our information systems and other technology to conduct and manage our business, which inherently involves large financial transactions with our members and other counterparties. Our operations rely on the secure processing, storage and transmission of confidential and other information in our computer systems and networks. These computer systems, software and networks are vulnerable to breaches, unauthorized access, damage, misuse, computer viruses or other malicious code and other events that could potentially jeopardize the confidentiality of such information or otherwise cause interruptions or malfunctions in our operations. In addition, our operations rely on the availability and functioning of our main office, our business resumption center and other facilities. There is no assurance that our business continuity plans, including our security measures, will provide fully effective security or prevent a failure or interruption in our operations. If we experience a significant failure or interruption in our business continuity, disaster recovery or certain information systems, or a significant cybersecurity event, we may be unable to conduct and manage our business functions effectively, we may incur significant expenses in remediating such incidents, and we may suffer reputational harm. Moreover, any of these occurrences could result in increased regulatory scrutiny of our operations.




Despite our policies, procedures, controls and initiatives, some operational risks are beyond our control, and the failure of other parties to adequately address their operational risks could adversely affect us. In addition to internal computer systems, we outsource certain communication and information systems and other critical services to third-party vendors and service providers, including the Office of Finance, derivatives clearing organizations, and loan servicers. Compromised security at any of those third parties could expose us to cyber attacks or other breaches. If one or more of these key external parties were not able to perform their functions for a period of time, at an acceptable service level, or with increased volumes, our business operations could be constrained, disrupted, or otherwise negatively affected. In addition, any failure, interruption or breach in security of these systems, or any disruption of service, could result in failures or interruptions in our ability to conduct and manage our business effectively, including, without limitation, our advances, MPP, funding and hedging activities. There is no assurance that such failures or interruptions will not occur or, if they do occur, that they will be adequately addressed by us or the third parties on which we rely. Any failure, interruption, or breach could significantly harm our customer relations and business operations, which could negatively affect our financial condition, results of operations, or ability to pay dividends or redeem or repurchase capital stock.

We have purchased participating interests in MPF Program mortgage loans that the FHLBank of Topeka acquired from its PFIs. In its role as MPF Provider, the FHLBank of Chicago provides the infrastructure and operational support for the MPF Program and is responsible for publishing and maintaining the MPF Origination, Underwriting and Servicing Guides, which detail the requirements PFIs must follow in originating or selling and servicing MPF Program mortgage loans. If the FHLBank of Chicago changes or ceases to operate the MPF Program or experiences a failure or interruption in its information systems and other technology in its operation of the MPF Program, our MPF business could be adversely impacted, which could negatively affect our financial condition, profitability and cash flows. In the same way, we could be adversely affected if any of the FHLBank of Chicago's third-party vendors that are engaged in the operation of the MPF Program were to experience operational or technical difficulties.

The Inability to Access Capital Markets on Acceptable Terms Could Adversely Affect Our Liquidity, Operations, Financial Condition and Results of Operations, and the Value of Membership in Our Bank

Our primary source of funds is the sale of consolidated obligations in the capital markets. Our ability to obtain funds through the sale of consolidated obligations depends in part on prevailing conditions in the capital markets, such as investor demand and liquidity, and on dealer commitment to inventory and support our debt. Severe financial and economic disruptions in the past, and the United States government's measures to mitigate their effects, including increased capital requirements on dealers' inventory and other regulatory changes affecting dealers, have changed the traditional bases on which market participants value GSE debt securities and consequently could affect our funding costs and practices, which could make it more difficult and more expensive to issue our debt. Any further disruption in the debt market could have an adverse impact on our interest spreads, opportunities to call and reissue existing debt or roll over maturing debt, or ability to meet the Finance Agency's mandates on FHLBank liquidity.

A Loss of Significant Borrowers, PFIs, Acceptable Loan Servicers or Other Financial Counterparties Could Adversely Impact Our Profitability, Our Ability to Achieve Business Objectives, Our Ability to Pay Dividends or Redeem or Repurchase Capital Stock, and Our Risk Concentration
The loss of any large borrower or PFI could adversely impact our profitability and our ability to achieve business objectives. The loss of a large borrower or PFI could result from a variety of factors, including acquisition, consolidation of charters within a bank holding company, loss of market share to non-depository institutions, resolution of a financially distressed member, or regulatory changes. As of December 31, 2017, our top two borrowers, Flagstar Bank, FSB and Lincoln National Life Insurance Company, held $5.7 billion and $2.9 billion, respectively, or a total of 25% of total advances outstanding, at par.

At December 31, 2017, 28% of our outstanding par value of MPP loans had been purchased from two PFIs. One of these PFIs originates mortgages on properties in several states, while the other PFI originates mortgages on properties principally in Michigan. We also purchase mortgage loans from many smaller PFIs that predominantly originate mortgage loans on properties in Michigan and Indiana. Therefore, our concentration of MPP loans on properties in Michigan and Indiana could continue to increase over time, as we do not currently limit such concentration.

We do not service the mortgage loans we purchase. PFIs may elect to retain servicing rights for the loans sold to us, or they may elect to sell servicing rights to an MPP-approved servicer. Federal banking regulations and Dodd-Frank Act capital requirements are causing mortgage servicing rights to be transitioned to non-depository institutions, which may reduce the availability of buyers of mortgage servicing rights. A scarcity of mortgage servicers could adversely affect our results of operations.




The number of counterparties that meet our internal and regulatory standards for derivative, repurchase, federal funds sold, TBA, and other financial transactions, such as broker-dealers and their affiliates, has decreased over time. Since the Dodd-Frank Act, however, the requirements for posting margin or other collateral to financial counterparties has tended to increase both in terms of the amount of collateral to be posted and the types of transactions for which margin is now required. Continuing consolidation in the financial services industry has also reduced the number of high-quality counterparties available to us. These factors tend to increase the risk exposure that we have to any one counterparty, and as such may tend to increase our reliance upon each of our existing counterparties. A failure of any one of our major financial counterparties, or continuing market consolidation, could affect our profitability, results of operations, and ability to enter into additional transactions with existing counterparties without exceeding internal or regulatory risk limits.





Competition Could Negatively Impact Advances, the Supply of Mortgage Loans for our MPP, Our Access to Funding and Our Earnings.

We operate in a highly competitive environment. Demand for advances is affected by, among other factors, the cost and availability of other sources of liquidity for our members, including customer deposits, brokered deposits, reciprocal deposits and public funds. We compete with other suppliers of wholesale funding, both secured and unsecured. Such other suppliers may include the United States government, the Federal Reserve Banks, corporate credit unions, the Central Liquidity Facility, investment banks, commercial banks, and in certain circumstances other FHLBanks. Large institutions may also have independent access to the national and global credit markets. Also, the availability of alternative funding sources to members, such as growth in deposits from members' banking customers, can significantly influence the demand for advances and can vary as a result of several factors, including legislative or regulatory changes, market conditions, members' creditworthiness, and availability of collateral. By way of example, on March 12, 2023, the Federal Reserve implemented a bank term funding program to support federally-insured depository institutions in response to prevailing market uncertainty about the banking industry resulting from the insolvencies of certain regional depository institutions. Loans under the program are generally made on very favorable terms, and our depository institution members may determine to request loans under that program rather than requesting advances from us. For additional information, see Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Recent Accounting and Regulatory Developments - Legislative and Regulatory Developments.

Likewise, our MPP is subject to significant competition. Direct competition for purchases of mortgages comes from other buyers of conventional, conforming, fixed-rate mortgage loans, such as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

In addition, PFIs face increased origination competition from originators that are not our members. Increased competition can result in a smaller share of the mortgages available for purchase through our MPP and, therefore, lower earnings.

We also compete with Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and other GSEs as well as corporate, sovereign, and supranational entities for funds raised through the issuance of CO bonds and discount notes. Increases in the supply of competing debt products may, in the absence of increases in demand, result in higher debt costs to us or lesser amounts of debt issued at the same cost than otherwise would be the case. There can be no assurance that our supply of funds through issuance of consolidated obligations will be sufficient to meet our future operational needs.

Downgrades of Our Credit Rating, the Credit Rating of One or More of the Other FHLBanks, or the Credit Rating of the Consolidated Obligations Could Adversely Impact Our Cost of Funds, Our Ability to Access the Capital Markets, and/or Our Ability to Enter Into Derivative Instrument Transactions on Acceptable TermsTerms.


The FHLBanks' consolidated obligations are rated Aaa/P-1 with a stable outlook by Moody's and AA+/A-1+ with a stable outlook by S&P. Rating agencies may from time to time changelower a rating or issue negative reports. Because each FHLBank has joint and several liability for all FHLBank consolidated obligations, negative developments at any FHLBank may affect these credit ratings or result in the issuance of a negative report regardless of an individual FHLBank's financial condition and results of operations. In addition, because of the FHLBanks' GSE status, the credit ratings of the respective FHLBanks are generally influenced by the sovereign credit rating of the United States.


Based on the credit rating agencies' criteria, downgrades to the United States' sovereign credit rating and outlook may occur. As a result, similar downgrades in the credit ratings and outlook on the FHLBanks and the FHLBanks' consolidated obligations may also occur, even though they are not obligations of the United States. S&P downgraded the United States' sovereign credit rating in 2011, which corresponded with a near breach of the federal debt limit. It is possible that a credit rating agency could again downgrade the United States' sovereign credit rating in connection with the current debate in U.S. Congress concerning whether or not the federal debt limit will be raised. If the sovereign credit rating is downgraded, the credit rating of each FHLBank and the FHLBanks' consolidated obligations and outlooks may also be downgraded.


Uncertainty remains regarding possible longer-term effects resulting from rating actions. Any future downgradesDowngrades in ourthe credit ratings and outlook,outlooks, especially a downgrade to an S&P AA rating or equivalent, could result in higher funding costs, additional collateral posting requirements for certain derivative instrument transactions, or disruptions in our access to capital markets. To the extent that we cannot access funding when needed on acceptable terms to effectively manage our cost of funds, our financial condition and results of operations and the value of membership in our Bank may be negatively affected.





The Inability to Identify Eligible Nominees for our Board of Directors and to Attract and Retain Key Personnel Could Adversely Affect Our Operations, Our Results of Operations, and Our Ability to Satisfy our Mission.

Board of Directors.The talent and experience of our board of directors is critical to our ability to satisfy our mission given the global nature and resulting, ever-growing complexities of the finance industry. However, our directors are subject to legal requirements that could disqualify prospective nominees that would otherwise have the talent and experience necessary for the role. For example, at least 40% of our board of directors' seats must be held by independent directors, who must meet certain specialized and narrow eligibility requirements (including citizenship, residency and expertise) but are subject to specific term limits. Seven of the directorships are designated for independent directors, but two of these directorships are held by directors who will be term-limited as of December 31, 2023. Each has served as a director of the Bank for 15 or more years. Thus, the term limits will result in our inability to re-nominate those directors resulting in the board's loss of their talent and experience. While our board's Human Resources Committee engages in succession planning for directorships, such legal requirements may challenge our ability to find prospective nominees who have specific expertise and specialized skills that meet the eligibility requirements.

Key Personnel.We rely on key personnel for many of our functions and have a relatively small workforce, given the size and complexity of our business. Our ability to attract and retain personnel with the required technical expertise and specialized skills is important for us to manage our business and conduct our operations successfully. However, competition for such personnel from within the financial services industry, including for risk management professionals, and from businesses outside the financial services industry, including the technology industry, have challenged and may continue to challenge our ability to recruit and retain such personnel. For example, we have experienced and continue to experience higher employee turnover and increased competition in hiring and retaining skilled key personnel due to the significant disruptions and changes to the U.S. labor market that have resulted from the COVID-19 pandemic. Increased remote-working opportunities have also increased competition in hiring and retaining skilled key personnel. Failure to attract and retain skilled key personnel, or failure to develop and implement an effective succession plan for key personnel, could adversely affect our business and operations and, in turn, our results of operations.

Credit Risk

An Increase in Our Exposure to Credit Losses Could Adversely Affect Our Financial Condition and Results of OperationsOperations.


We are exposed to credit losses fromrisk as part of our normal business operations through member products, mortgage servicers, investment securities and unsecured counterparties.counterparty obligations. Periods of economic downturn, and periods of economic and financial disruptions and uncertainties, may increase credit risk.


Member Products.


Advances.If a member fails and the appointed receiver or rehabilitator (or another applicable entity) does not either (i) promptly repay all of the failed institution's obligations to our Bankus or (ii) properly assign or assume the outstanding advances, we may be required to liquidate the collateral pledged by the failed institution. The proceeds realized from the liquidation may not be sufficient to fully satisfy the amount of the failed institution's obligations plus the operational cost of liquidation, particularly if market price and interest-rate volatility adversely affect the value of the collateral. Price volatility could also adversely impact our determination of over-collateralization requirements, which could ultimately cause a collateral deficiency in a liquidation scenario. In some cases, we may not be able to liquidate the collateral for the value assigned to it or in a timely manner. Any of these scenarios could cause us to experience a credit loss, which in turn could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.


A deterioration of residential or commercial real estate property values could further affect the mortgages or MBS pledged as collateral for advances.In order to remain fully collateralized, we may require members to pledge additional collateral when deemedwe deem it necessary. If members are unable to fully collateralize their obligations with us, our advances could decrease further, negatively affecting our results of operations or ability to pay dividends or redeem or repurchase capital stock.


Mortgage Loans.Since the inception of the MPP, we have acquired only traditional fixed-rate loans with fixed terms of up to 30 years. If delinquencies in our fixed-rate mortgages increase and residential property values decline, we could experience reduced yields or losses exceeding the protection provided by the LRA and SMI credit enhancement, and CE obligations, as applicable, on mortgage loans purchased through our MPP or the participating interests in MPF Program loans acquired from the FHLBank of Topeka or another MPF FHLBank.that we have purchased.







We are the beneficiary of third-party PMI and SMI (where applicable)coverage on conventional mortgage loans that we acquire through our MPP, upon whichand we rely in part on such coverage to reduce the risk of losses on those loans. As a result of actions by their respective state insurance regulators, however, certain of our PMI providers are payingmay pay less than 100% of the claim amounts. The remaining amounts are deferred until the funds are available or the PMI provider is liquidated. It is possible that insurance regulators may impose restrictions on the ability of our other PMI/SMI providers to pay claims. If our PMI/SMI providers further reduce the portion of mortgage insurance claims they will pay to us or further delay or condition the payment of mortgage insurance claims, or if additional adverse actions are taken by their state insurance regulators, we could experience higher losses on mortgage loans.


Mortgage Servicers.We are also exposed to credit losses from servicers forof mortgage loans that we have purchased under our MPP or through participating interests in mortgage loans purchased from other FHLBanks under the MPF Program if they fail to perform their contractual obligations.


Investment Securities. Securities. The MBS market continues to face uncertainty over the potential changes in the Federal ReserveReserve's holdings of MBS and the effect of existing,any new or proposed governmental actions. FutureAdditionally, future declines in the housing price forecast,prices, as well as other factors, such as increased loan default rates and loss severities and decreased prepayment speeds, may result in additional OTTI charges or unrealized losses, on private-label RMBS, which could adversely affect our operating results, or ability to pay dividends or redeem or repurchase capital stock.financial condition.


We are also exposed to credit losses from third-party providers of credit enhancements on the MBS investments that we hold in our investment portfolios, including mortgage insurers, bond insurers and financial guarantors. Our results of operations could be adversely impacted if one or more of these providers fails to fulfill its contractual obligations to us.

Unsecured Counterparties. Counterparty Obligations.We assume unsecured credit risk when entering into money market transactions and financial derivatives transactions with domestic and foreign counterparties or through derivatives clearing organizations. A counterparty default could result in losses if our credit exposure to that counterparty is not fully collateralized or if our credit obligations associated with derivative positions are over-collateralized. The insolvency or other inability of a significant counterparty, including a clearing organization, to perform its obligations under such transactions or other agreements could have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations, as well as our ability to engage in routine derivative transactions. If we are unable to transact additional business with those counterparties, our ability to effectively use derivatives could be adversely affected, which could impair our ability to manage some aspects of our interest-rate risk.


OurMoreover, our ability to engage in routine derivatives, funding and other transactions could be adversely affected by the actions and commercial soundness of financial institutions that transact business with our counterparties. Financial services institutions are interrelated as a result of trading, clearing, counterparty and/or other relationships. Consequently, financial difficulties experienced by one or more financial services institutions could lead to market-wide disruptions that may impair our ability to find suitable counterparties for routine business transactions.


Providing Financial Support to Other FHLBanks Could Negatively Impact the Bank's Liquidity, Earnings and Capital and Our Members.

We are jointly and severally liable with the other FHLBanks for the consolidated obligations issued on behalf of the FHLBanks through the Office of Finance. If another FHLBank were to default on its obligation to pay principal and interest on any consolidated obligations, the Finance Agency may allocate the outstanding liability among one or more of the remaining FHLBanks on a pro-rata basis or on any other basis the Finance Agency may determine. In addition to possibly making payments due on consolidated obligations under our joint and several liability, we may voluntarily or involuntarily provide financial assistance to another FHLBank in order to resolve a condition of financial distress. Such assistance could negatively affect our financial condition, our results of operations and the value of membership in our Bank. Moreover, a Finance Agency regulation provides each FHLBank to contribute at least 10% of its annual net earnings before interest expense on MRCS subject to an FHLBank System-wide annual minimum contribution to AHP of $100 million. If the required contribution is increased or we become liable for a pro-rata share of the System's annual minimum contribution, our net earnings could be reduced or eliminated. Thus, these requirements could adversely affect our ability to pay dividends to our members or to redeem or repurchase capital stock.




Market Risk

Changes in Response to the Replacement of the LIBOR Benchmark Interest Rate Could Adversely Affect Our Business, Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Cessation of the Use of LIBOR. A portion of our assets and liabilities remain directly or indirectly indexed to LIBOR. The one-week and two-month U.S. dollar LIBOR settings and all non-U.S. dollar LIBOR settings ceased to be provided by any administrator and were no longer representative as of January 1, 2022. The remaining U.S. dollar LIBOR settings will either cease to be provided by any administrator or no longer be representative immediately after June 30, 2023. Although the United Kingdom Financial Conduct Authority has indicated that it does not expect the remaining U.S. dollar LIBOR settings to become unrepresentative before the cessation date, there is no assurance that any of them will continue to be published or be representative through any particular date.

We have endeavored to identify and amend our agreements that may require adding or adjusting fallback language, including advances, investments and derivatives. Despite these efforts, the contractual consequences of LIBOR cessation for some existing LIBOR-indexed instruments may still lack clarity in some instances. Further, as LIBOR has been a principal floating-rate benchmark in the financial markets, its cessation has affected, and may continue to affect, the financial markets generally and our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Adoption of SOFR. We continue to take steps to adopt SOFR, the alternative to U.S. dollar LIBOR recommended by the Alternative Reference Rates Committee for our relevant products, services and financial instruments. The market transition from LIBOR to SOFR or another alternate reference rate has been and is expected to continue to be complicated, including the development of term and credit adjustments to accommodate differences between LIBOR and SOFR or any other alternate reference rate as well as other market conventions. In addition, the overnight Treasury repurchase market underlying SOFR has experienced and could continue to experience disruptions from time to time, which has resulted and may continue to result in unexpected fluctuations in SOFR. The introduction of alternate reference rates also creates challenges in hedging and asset-liability management and may result in additional basis risk and increased volatility. While market activity in SOFR- linked financial instruments continues to develop, the progress has been uneven in the commercial loan market, and there can be no guarantee that SOFR will become widely accepted and used across market segments and financial products in a timely manner and any other alternative reference rate may or may not be developed. Any disruption in the market transition towards SOFR or another alternate reference rate could result in increased financial, operational, legal or reputational risks to us.

Changes in Interest Rates or Changes in the Differences Between Short-Term Rates and Long-Term Rates Could Have an Adverse Effect on Our EarningsEarnings.


Our ability to prepare for changes in interest rates, or to hedge related exposures such as volatility or basis risk, significantly affects the success of our asset and liability management activities and our level of net interest income.


The effect of interest rate changes can be exacerbated by prepayment and extension risk,risks, which isare the riskrisks that mortgage-based investments will be refinanced by borrowers in low interest-rate environments or will remain outstanding longer than expected at below-market yields when interest rates increase. Decreases in interest rates typically cause mortgage prepayments to increase, which may result in increased premium amortization expense and a decrease in the yield of our mortgage assets as we experience a return of principal that we must re-invest in a lower rate environment. While these prepayments would reduce the asset balance, our balance of consolidated obligations may remain outstanding. Conversely, increases in interest rates typically cause mortgage prepayments to decrease or mortgage cash flows to slow, possibly resulting in the debt funding the portfolio to mature and the replacement debt to be issued at a higher cost, thus reducing our interest spread.

A flattening or inverted yield curve, in which the difference between short-term interest rates and long-term interest rates is lower or negative, respectively, relative to prior market conditions, will tend to reduce, and has reduced, the net interest margin on new loans added to the MPP portfolio. Until such time as the yield curve becomes steeper, we may continue to earn lower spread income from that portfolio.









In prior years, adverseLiquidity Risk

The Inability to Access Capital Markets on Acceptable Terms Could Adversely Affect Our Liquidity, Operations, Financial Condition and Results of Operations, and the Value of Membership in Our Bank.

Our primary source of funds is the sale of consolidated obligations in the capital markets. Our ability to obtain funds through the sale of consolidated obligations depends in part on prevailing conditions in the housingcapital markets, such as investor demand and mortgage markets, along with a large dropliquidity, and on dealer commitment to inventory and support our debt. Any disruption in the debt market could have an adverse impact on our interest rates, allowed usspreads, opportunities to call a portion of our debt and reissue itexisting debt or roll over maturing debt, or our ability to satisfy the Finance Agency's liquidity requirements.

More recently, however, we have had fewer opportunities to achieve those wider spreads in that manner. In addition, the outstanding balanceInformation Systems of the investment securities that were purchased at higher spreads, as well as the earnings from those investments, have been decreasing. Going forward, we expect these trends to continue to have a moderating effect on our earnings.

Changes toThird-Party Vendors or Replacement of the LIBOR Benchmark Interest RateService Providers Could Adversely Affect Our Business, Risk Management, Financial Condition, and Results of Operations, and Reputation.


ManyCybersecurity.We rely heavily on our information systems and other technology to conduct and manage our business, which inherently involves large financial transactions with our members and other counterparties. Our operations rely on the secure processing, storage and transmission of confidential and other information, both in our and third parties' computer systems and networks, including those of backup service providers. These computer systems, software and networks are vulnerable to breaches, unauthorized access, damage, misuse, computer viruses or other malicious code and other events that could potentially jeopardize the confidentiality of such information or otherwise cause interruptions or malfunctions in our operations, either directly or through a third party. Similarly, work-from-home arrangements that we have used and that have been and are used by third party vendors present additional risks of cybersecurity events. We have not experienced a disruption in our information systems that has had a material adverse effect on us.

However, as malicious threat tactics continue to become more pervasive and more sophisticated, and as regulatory scrutiny of cybersecurity risk management increases, we are required to implement more advanced mitigating controls, which increases our costs. Moreover, if we experience a significant cybersecurity event, either directly or through a third party, we may suffer significant financial or data loss; be unable to conduct and manage our business functions effectively; incur significant expenses in remediating such incidents; and suffer reputational harm. Any such occurrence could result in increased regulatory scrutiny of our assets and liabilities are indexed to LIBOR. On July 27, 2017, the Financial Conduct Authority ("FCA"), a regulator of financial services firms and financial markets in the United Kingdom, announced that it intends to stop persuading or compelling banks to submit LIBOR rates after 2021. The FCA has indicated it will support the LIBOR indices through 2021 to allow for an orderly transition to an alternative reference rate. Further, in the United States, efforts to identify a set of alternative U.S. dollar reference interest rates include proposals by the Alternative Reference Rates Committee of the FRB and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. Other financial services regulators and industry groups are evaluating the possible phase-out of LIBOR and the development of alternate interest rate indices or reference rates.

The transition from LIBOR-referenced assets and liabilities to assets and liabilities indexed to a new reference rate also carries risks. The infrastructure necessary to manage hedging in the alternative reference rate still needs to be built out, and the transition in the markets, and adjustments in our systems, could be disruptive, with disruptions potentially beginning before the currently-planned phase-out of FCA's support of LIBOR. A mechanism does not yet exist to convert the credit and tenor features of LIBOR into any proposed replacement rate, nor has a market been established which could facilitate such conversion. Moreover, there is no guarantee that, if such a market were created and functioning at the time of the transition, the transition will be successful. Similarly, the transition from one reference rate to another could have accounting effects. For example, such transition could have an effect on our hedge effectiveness, which could affect our results of operations. Additionally, our risk management measuring, monitoring and valuation tools factor in LIBOR as a reference rate. Disruptions in the market for LIBOR, and its regulatory framework, could have unanticipated effects on our risk management activities as well.

Given the large volume of LIBOR-based mortgages and financial instruments, the basis adjustment to the replacement floating rate will receive extraordinary scrutiny, but whether the net impact is positive or negative cannot yet be ascertained. We expect that other market participants, including our member institutions, derivatives clearing organizations, and other financial counterparties are also monitoring the LIBOR transition, but we cannot predict how such institutions will react to the transition, or what effects such reactions will have on us. We are not able to predict at this time whether LIBOR will cease to be available after 2021, whether the alternative rates the FRB proposes to publish will become market benchmarks in place of LIBOR, whether the transitions to the new reference rates will be successful, or what the impact of such a transition will be on the Bank's business, financial condition or results of operations.

Competition Could Negatively Impact Advances, the Supply of Mortgage Loans for our MPP, Our Access to Funding and Our Earnings

We operate in a highly competitive environment. Demand for advances is affected by, among other factors, the cost and availability of other sources of liquidity for our members, including deposits. We compete with other suppliers of wholesale funding, both secured and unsecured. Such other suppliers may include the United States government, the Federal Reserve Banks, corporate credit unions, the Central Liquidity Facility, investment banks, commercial banks, and in certain circumstances other FHLBanks. Large institutions may also have independent access to the national and global credit markets. The availability of alternative funding sources to members can significantly influence the demand for advances and can vary as a result of several factors, including market conditions, members' creditworthiness, and availability of collateral. Lower demand for advances could negatively impact our earnings.

Likewise, our MPP is subject to significant competition. The most direct competition for purchases of mortgages comes from other buyers of conventional, conforming, fixed-rate mortgage loans, such as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. In addition, PFIs face increased origination competition from originators that are not members of our Bank. Increased competition can result in a smaller share of the mortgages available for purchase through our MPP and, therefore, lower earnings.




We also compete with Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and other GSEs as well as corporate, sovereign, and supranational entities for funds raised through the issuance of CO bonds and discount notes. Increases in the supply of competing debt products may, in the absence of increases in demand, result in higher debt costs to us or lesser amounts of debt issued at the same cost than otherwise would be the case. There can be no assurance that our supplyor any third parties' cybersecurity controls will timely detect or prevent all cybersecurity incidents. Although we carry cybersecurity insurance, its coverage may not be broad enough or adequate to cover losses we may incur if a significant cybersecurity event occurs.

Information Systems; Facilities; Unavailability or Interruption of funds throughService.In addition, our operations rely on the availability and functioning of our main office, our business resumption center and other facilities. If we experience a significant failure or interruption in our business continuity, disaster recovery or certain information systems, we may be unable to conduct and manage our business functions effectively; incur significant expenses in remediating such incidents; and suffer reputational harm. Moreover, any of these occurrences could result in increased regulatory scrutiny of our operations.

Office of Finance.The Office of Finance is a joint office of the FHLBanks established to facilitate the issuance and servicing of consolidated obligations, among other activities. A failure or interruption of the Office of Finance's services as a result of breaches, cyber attacks, or technological outages (either in the Office of Finance or certain of its third party service providers, including those of backup service providers) could constrain or otherwise negatively affect our business operations, including disruptions to our access to funding through the sale of consolidated obligations. Moreover, any operational failure of the Office of Finance or of its third party providers could expose us to the risk of loss of data or confidential information, or other harm, including reputational damage.




Other Third Parties.Despite our policies, procedures, controls and initiatives, some operational risks are beyond our control, and the failure of other parties to adequately address their performance standards and operational risks could adversely affect us. In addition to internal computer systems, we outsource certain communication and information systems and other services critical to our business infrastructure, and regulatory compliance to third-party vendors and service providers, including derivatives clearing organizations, loan servicers, and the Federal Reserve as to funds transfers.

Compromised security or operational errors at any third party with whom we conduct business, or at any third party's contractors, could expose us to cyber attacks, other breaches or service failures or interruptions. If one or more of these external parties were not able to perform their functions for a period of time, at an acceptable service level, or with increased volumes, our business operations could be constrained, disrupted, or otherwise negatively affected. In addition, any failure, interruption or breach in security of these systems, any disruption of service, or any external party's failure to perform its contractual obligations could result in failures or interruptions in our ability to conduct and manage our business effectively, including, without limitation, our advances, MPP, funding, hedging activities and regulatory compliance. There is no assurance that such failures or interruptions will not occur or, if they do occur, that they will be sufficienttimely detected or adequately addressed by us or the third parties on which we rely. Any failure, interruption, or breach could significantly harm our customer relations and business operations, which could negatively affect our financial condition, results of operations, or ability to meet our future operational needs.pay dividends or redeem or repurchase capital stock.


A Failure of the Business and Financial Models and Related Processes Used to Evaluate Various Financial Risks and Derive Certain Estimates in Our Financial Statements Could Produce Unreliable Projections or Valuations, which Could Adversely Affect Our Business, Financial Condition, Results of Operations and Risk ManagementManagement.


We are exposed to market, business and operational risk, in part due to the significant use of business and financial models when evaluating various financial risks and deriving certain estimates in our financial statements. Our business could be adversely affected if these models fail to produce reliable projections or valuations. These models, which rely on various inputs including, but not limited to, loan volumes and pricing, market conditions for our consolidated obligations, interest-rate spreads and prepayment speeds, implied volatility of options contracts, and cash flows on mortgage-related assets, require management to make critical judgments about the appropriate assumptions that are used in the determinations of such risks and estimates and may overstate or understate the value of certain financial instruments, future performance expectations, or our level of risk exposure. Our models could produce unreliable results for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to, invalid or incorrect assumptions underlying the models, the need for manual adjustments in response to rapid changes in economic conditions, incorrect coding of the models, incorrect data being used by the models or inappropriate application of a model to products or events outside the model's intended use. In particular, models arecan be less dependable when the economic environment is outside of historical experience, as has been the case in recent years. See Item 7. Management's DiscussionWhile we take steps to review and Analysis of Financial Conditionvalidate our models to minimize inaccuracies, there can be no assurance that all inaccuracies will be identified timely. The reliance on inaccurate models could result in unreliable projections or valuations, which could result in sub-optimal strategies and, Results of Operations - Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates and Risk Management -Operational Risk Management for more information.

A Prolonged Delay in the Initiation or Completion of Foreclosure Proceedings on Mortgage Loans May Have an Adverse Effect on Our Business, Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The processing of foreclosures continues to be slow in certain states due to prolonged foreclosure proceedings resulting from changes in state foreclosure laws, court procedures, post-foreclosure application of state eviction laws and the pipeline of foreclosures resulting from these delays. In addition, inadequate court budgets in certain states could further delay the processing of foreclosures. The foregoing factors continue to have a noticeable effect on the scheduling and enforcement of court-ordered foreclosure sales.

A prolonged delay of mortgage foreclosure proceedings may have adverse effects on our mortgage investments' income and expenses and the market value of the underlying collateral, which couldturn, adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and risk management.

General Risks

Natural Disasters, Including those Resulting from Significant Climate Change, and Similar Catastrophic Events Could Adversely Affect Our Business and Our Members.

Regions in which we operate are subject to natural disasters, including risks from hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, wild fires, drought and other natural disasters. Climate change is increasing the frequency, intensity and duration of these weather events. Likewise, similar catastrophic events, such as epidemics or pandemics (as was realized in the COVID-19 pandemic), acts of war or terrorism, and/or disruptions in the availability of critical infrastructure on which we rely due to a cyber incident or otherwise could occur. Any such natural disasters or similar catastrophic events could destroy or damage our assets or collateral that members have pledged to us; disrupt our business; increase the probability of power or other outages; negatively affect the livelihood of borrowers of our members; or otherwise cause significant economic dislocation in the affected regions. Any of these situations may adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.


A Failure to Meet Minimum Regulatory Capital Requirements Could Affect Our Ability to Pay Dividends, Redeem or Repurchase Capital Stock, and Attract New Members


We are required to maintain sufficient capital to meet specific minimum requirements established by the Finance Agency. If we violate any of these requirements or if our board or the Finance Agency determines that we have incurred, or are likely to incur, losses resulting, or expected to result, in a charge against capital, we would not be able to redeem or repurchase any capital stock while such charges are continuing or expected to continue, even if the statutory redemption period had expired for some or all of such stock. Violations of our capital requirements could also restrict our ability to pay dividends, lend, invest, or purchase mortgage loans or participating interests in mortgage loans, or other business activities. Additionally, the Finance Agency could direct us to call upon our members to purchase additional capital stock to meet our minimum regulatory capital requirements. Members may be unable or unwilling to satisfy such calls for additional capital, thereby adversely affecting their ability to continue doing business with us.

The formula for calculating risk-based capital includes factors that depend on interest rates and other market metrics outside our control and could cause our minimum requirement to increase to a point exceeding our capital level. Further, if our retained earnings were to become inadequate, the Finance Agency could initiate restrictions consistent with those associated with a failure of a minimum capital requirement.






The Dodd-Frank Act requires certain financial companies with total consolidated assets of more than $10.0 billion and that are regulated by a primary federal financial regulatory agency to conduct annual stress tests to determine whether the companies have the capital necessary to absorb losses under adverse economic conditions. The Finance Agency has implemented annual stress testing for the FHLBanks. We must report the results of our stress tests to the Finance Agency and the FRB on an annual basis, and we must also publicly disclose a summary of stress test results for the "severely adverse" scenario on an annual basis.ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS


The severity of the hypothetical scenarios devised by the Finance Agency and the FRB and employed in these stress tests is not defined by law or regulation, and is thus subject to the regulators' discretion. Nonetheless, the results of the stress testing process may affect our approach to managing and deploying capital. The stress testing and capital planning processes may, among other things, require us to increase our capital levels, modify our business strategies, or decrease our exposure to various asset classes.None.


The stability of our capital is also important in maintaining the value of membership in our Bank. Failure to pay dividends or redeem or repurchase stock at par, or a call upon our members to purchase additional stock to restore capital, could make it more difficult for us to attract new members or retain existing members.

Restrictions on the Redemption, Repurchase, or Transfer of the Bank's Capital Stock Could Result in an Illiquid Investment for the Holder

Under the GLB Act, Finance Agency regulations, and our capital plan, our capital stock may be redeemed upon the expiration of a five-year redemption period, subject to certain conditions. Capital stock may become subject to redemption following the redemption period after a member (i) provides a written redemption notice to the Bank; (ii) gives notice of intention to withdraw from membership; (iii) attains nonmember status by merger or acquisition, charter termination, or other involuntary membership termination; or (iv) has its Bank capital stock transferred by a receiver or other liquidating agent for that member to a nonmember entity. In addition, we may elect to repurchase some or all of the excess capital stock of a shareholder at any time at our sole discretion.

There is no guarantee, however, that we will be able to redeem shareholders' capital stock, even at the end of the prescribed redemption period, or to repurchase their excess capital stock. If a redemption or repurchase of capital stock would cause us to fail to meet our minimum regulatory capital requirements, Finance Agency regulations and our capital plan would prohibit the redemption or repurchase. Moreover, only capital stock that is not required to meet a member's membership capital stock requirement or to support a member or nonmember shareholder's outstanding activity with the Bank (excess capital stock) may be redeemed at the end of the redemption period. Restrictions on the redemption or repurchase of our capital stock could result in an illiquid investment for holders of our stock. In addition, because our capital stock may only be owned by our members (or, under certain circumstances, former members and certain successor institutions), and our capital plan requires our approval before a member or nonmember shareholder may transfer any of its capital stock to another member or nonmember shareholder, we cannot provide assurance that we would allow a member or nonmember shareholder to transfer any excess capital stock to another member or nonmember shareholder at any time.

Providing Financial Support to Other FHLBanks Could Negatively Impact the Bank's Liquidity, Earnings and Capital and Our Members

We are jointly and severally liable with the other FHLBanks for the consolidated obligations issued on behalf of the FHLBanks through the Office of Finance. If another FHLBank were to default on its obligation to pay principal and interest on any consolidated obligations, the Finance Agency may allocate the outstanding liability among one or more of the remaining FHLBanks on a pro rata basis or on any other basis the Finance Agency may determine. In addition to possibly making payments due on consolidated obligations under our joint and several liability, we may voluntarily or involuntarily provide financial assistance to another FHLBank in order to resolve a condition of financial distress. Such assistance could negatively affect our financial condition, our results of operation and the value of membership in our Bank. Moreover, a Finance Agency regulation provides for an FHLBank System-wide annual minimum contribution to AHP of $100 million, and we could be liable for a pro rata share of that amount (based on the FHLBanks' combined net earnings for the previous year), up to 100% of our net earnings for the previous year. Thus, our ability to pay dividends to our members or to redeem or repurchase capital stock could be affected by the financial condition of one or more of the other FHLBanks.




ITEM 2. PROPERTIES


We own an office building containing approximately 117,000 square feet of office and storage space at 8250 Woodfield Crossing Boulevard, Indianapolis, IN, of which we use approximately 65,000lease 8,800 square feet. Wefeet to a single tenant. In addition, we lease office space in Detroit, MI, which is used for community and member engagement, and in Anderson, IN, which is used for business resumption activities in the event of a loss of or hold for leasea disruption to various tenants the remaining 52,000 square feet. primary facility.

We also maintain two leased off-site backup facilities of approximately 6,800 square feet and 200 square feet, respectively, thatgeographically dispersed, co-located data centers which are on electrical distribution grids that are separate from each other and from our office building. In addition, we maintain a third leased off-site backup facility that we plan to begin using as our business resumption center in 2018. See Itembuildings. For more information, see Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Risk Management - Operational Risk Management for additional information..


In the opinion of management, our physical properties are suitable and adequate. All of our properties are insured to approximately replacement cost. In the event we were to need more space, our lease terms with tenants generally provide the ability to move tenants to comparable space at other locations at our cost for moving and outfitting any replacement space to meet our tenants' needs.


ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS


In the ordinary course of business, we may from time to time become a party to lawsuits involving various business matters. We are unaware of any lawsuits presently pending which, individually or in the aggregate, could have a material effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

None.



ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES


We use acronyms and terms throughout this Item that are defined herein or in the Glossary of Terms.Defined Terms.


No Trading Market


Our Class B capital stock is not publicly traded, and there is no established market for such stock. Members may be required to purchase additional shares of Class B stock from time to time in order to meet minimum stock purchase requirements under our capital plan. Our Class B stock may be redeemed, at a par value of $100 per share, up to five years after we receive a written redemption request by a member, subject to regulatory limits and the satisfaction of any ongoing stock purchase requirements applicable to the member. We may repurchase shares held by members in excess of their required holdings at our discretion at any time in accordance with our capital plan.

Our Class B common stock is registered under the Exchange Act.Act and may be purchased, sold, redeemed and repurchased only at par. Because our shares of capital stock are "exempt securities" under the Securities Act, purchases and sales of stock by our members are not subject to registration under the Securities Act.


Depending on the class of capital stock, it may be redeemed either six months (Class A Common Stock) or five years (Class B Common Stock) after we receive a written request by a member, subject to regulatory limits and to the satisfaction of any ongoing stock investment requirements applying to the member under our capital plan. We may repurchase shares held by members in excess of their required holdings at our discretion at any time in accordance with our capital plan.
Capital Structure

Our capital plan provides for two sub-series of Class B capital stock: Class B-1 and Class B-2. Class B-1 stock is held by our members to satisfy their membership stock requirements, while Class B-2 stock is held to satisfy members’ activity-based stock requirements. Class B-1 stock is automatically reclassified as Class B-2 as needed to help fulfill a member’s activity-based stock requirement and before the member is required to purchase additional Class B-2 stock to fully meet its capital stock requirement. Excess Class B-2 stock is automatically reclassified as Class B-1.

Under our capital plan, PFIs may opt in to an activity-based stock requirement in connection with their sales of mortgage loans to us under Advantage MPP. PFIs may elect this stock requirement each time they enter into an MCC with us based on the outstanding principal balance of loans purchased. As of December 31, 2022, such Class B-2 stock issued and outstanding totaled $85 million.

Our capital plan also permits the board of directors to authorize the issuance of Class A stock. Under the plan, Class A stock may be used at the member’s election, in lieu of Class B-2 stock, to satisfy the member’s activity-based stock requirement. Class A stock is subject to the same redemption requirements and limitations as Class B stock, except the applicable redemption period for Class A stock is six months. As of December 31, 2022, the board of directors had not authorized the issuance of Class A stock.

Number of Shareholders


As of February 28, 2018,2023, we had 392359 shareholders and $2.0$2.5 billion par value of regulatory capital stock, which includes Class B common stock and MRCS issued and outstanding. As of February 28, 2023, we had no Class A stock outstanding.


Dividends


A cooperative enterprise enjoys the benefits of an integrated customer/shareholder base; however, there are certain tensions inherent in our membership structure that are unusual and unique to the FHLBanks. Because only member institutions and certain former members can own shares of our capital stock and, by statute and regulation, stock can be issued and repurchased only at par, there is no open market for our stock and no opportunity for stock price appreciation. As a result, return on equity can be received only in the form of dividends. 

DividendsWe may, but are not required to, be paidpay dividends on our Class B capital stock. OurDividends are authorized by our board of directors may declare and pay dividends in either cash or capital stock or a combination thereof, subject to Finance Agency regulations. Dividends are non-cumulative and may be paid in cash or capital stock out of current net earnings, or from unrestricted retained earnings, or from restricted retained earnings after that balance exceeds 1.5% of the average balance of our outstanding consolidated obligations for the previous quarter. No dividend may be declared or paid if we are or would be, as a result of such payment, in violation of our minimum capital requirements. Moreover, we may not pay dividends if any principal or interest due on any consolidated obligation issued on behalf of any of the FHLBanks has not been paid in full or, under certain circumstances, if we fail to satisfy liquidity requirements under applicable Finance Agency regulations.

Under theseFinance Agency regulations, stock dividends cannot be paid if our excess stock is greater than 1% of our total assets. At December 31, 2017,2022, our excess stock was 0.54%0.82% of our total assets.assets.







Our board of directors' decisions to declare dividends are influenced byUnder our financial condition, overall financial performance and retained earnings, as well as actual and anticipated developments incapital plan, the overall economic and financial environment including the level of interest rates and conditions in the mortgage and credit markets. In addition, our board of directors considers several other factors, including our risk profile, regulatory requirements, our relationship with our members andmay declare a dividend rate on Class B-2 stock that equals or exceeds the stability of our current capital stock position and membership.

Our capital plan provides for two sub-series of Class B capital stock:rate on Class B-1 andstock. Similarly, the board of directors may declare a dividend rate on Class B-2.A stock that equals or exceeds the rate on Class B-1 is stock held by our members that is not subject to a redemption request, while Class B-2 is required stock that is subject to a redemption request. Class B-1 shareholders receive a higher dividend than Class B-2 shareholders. The Class B-2 dividend is presently equal to 80% of the amount of the Class B-1 dividend and can only be changed by an amendment to our capital plan with approval of the Finance Agency. stock.

The amount of the dividend to be paid is based on the average number of shares of each sub-series held by a member during the dividend payment period (applicable quarter).

We are exempt from federal, state, and local taxation, except for employment and real estate taxes. Despite our tax-exempt status, any cash dividends paid by us to our members are taxable dividends to the members, and our members do not benefit from the exclusion for corporate dividends received. The preceding statement is for general information only; it is not tax advice. Members should consult their own tax advisors regarding particular federal, state, and local tax consequences of purchasing, holding, and disposing of our Class B stock, including the consequences of any proposed change in applicable law.

ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA[Reserved]

We use acronyms and terms throughout this Item that are defined herein or in the Glossary of Terms. The following table should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes and the discussion set forth in Item 7.

Executive Summary
 
Overview. WeAs an FHLBank, we are a regional wholesale bank that serves as a financial intermediary between the capital markets and our members. The Bank is structured as a financial cooperative, which allows our business to be scalable and self-capitalizing without taking undue risks, diminishing capital adequacy or jeopardizing profitability. Therefore, the Bank is generally designed to expand and contract in asset size as the needs of our members and their communities change.

We primarily make secured loans in the form of advances to our members and purchase whole mortgage loans from our members. Additionally, we purchase other investments and provide other financial services to our members. 

Our principal source of funding is the proceeds from the sale to the public of FHLBank debt instruments, called consolidated obligations, which are the joint and several obligation of all FHLBanks. We obtain additional funds from deposits, other borrowings, and the sale ofby issuing capital stock to our members. As an FHLBank, we are generally designed to expand and contract in asset size as the needs of our members and their communities change over time.


Our primary source of revenue is interest earned on advances,advances, mortgage loans, and long- and short-term investments.investments, including MBS.
 
Our net interest income is primarily determined by the size of our balance sheet and the spread between the interest rate earned on our assets and the interest rate paid on our share of the consolidated obligations. A substantial portion of net interest income may also be derived from deploying our capital which has no associated interest cost, i.e., interest-free capital. We use funding and hedging strategies to manage the related interest-rate risk.


Due to our cooperative ownership structure and wholesale nature, we typically earn a narrow net interest spread. Accordingly, our net income is relatively low compared to our total assets and capital.


In addition, as a cooperative, some members utilize our products more heavily and own more capital stock than others. As a result, we must achieve a balance in generating membership value from rates we charge on advances or prices we pay to purchase mortgage loans and paying a competitive dividend rate.

We group our products and services within two operating segments: traditional and mortgage loans.loans.

Business Environment. The Bank’sBank's financial performance is influenced by a number ofseveral key national and regional economic and market factors, including fiscal and monetary policies, the conditions in the housing markets and the level and volatility of market interest rates, inflation or deflation, monetary policies,rates.

Economy and the strength of housing markets.

In the December 2017 FOMC meeting, the FOMC increased the federal funds target range by 0.25% as expected. This was the third increase in 2017, for a total of 1.25% since the tightening cycle began. Several more rate increases are expected by the market during 2018. The FOMC has been able to take a slow and consistent approach to increasing short-term rates as expanding economic activity and a strong labor market have been accompanied by low inflation. The FOMC is still maintaining an accommodative monetary policy, but has begun to reduce its portfolio holdings accumulated during its long quantitative easing cycle. Since 2009, the Federal Reserve has purchased and accumulated over $4 trillion of securities, primarily U.S. Treasury and MBS. The Federal Reserve will continue to reinvest some of the cash flow generated, but intends to reduce its holdings over time. Subsequent to the federal funds target and short-term rate increases, interest rates on longer-maturity U.S. treasuries have increased less than short-term interest rates, resulting in a higher and flattening yield curve.





Real U.S. Gross Domestic Product ("GDP") increased by an annualized rate of 2.5% in the fourth quarter of 2017, moderately lower than the 3.2% increase during the 3rd quarter. The growth deceleration for the quarter has been attributed to a downturn in private inventory investment and increased imports, which is a subtraction in the calculation of GDP. However, this growth marks the current economic expansion at 102 months, compared to a long-term average of 47 months. On an annual basis, real GDP was up 2.3% for all of 2017, according to the advance estimate by the Bureau of Economic Analysis, compared to 1.5% in 2016. Personal consumption expenditures, non-residential fixed investment, and government spending have led GDP growth throughout the year. Strong consumer spending, led by a rebound in the retail sector in the fourth quarter, has been a primary growth factor. The energy sector has experienced a rebound and construction spending remains strong. Manufacturing growth, particularly in light vehicles, has begun to slow in the last quarter of 2017.

Indiana and Michigan’s preliminary unemployment rates for December 2017 improved to 3.4% and 4.7%, respectively. The strong labor market, marked by a 4.1% national unemployment rate in January 2018, has shown regular improvements since the peak unemployment rate of 10% in October 2009. Despite strong continued job growth, wage growth has remained muted throughout most of this expansion cycle.Financial Markets. The U.S. economy has produced over two million jobs annually for each of the past five years; however, many of those jobs are part-time or seasonal positions offering lower wages and low or no benefits. This is the likely cause of muted inflation levels despite strong employment and GDP figures through most of the economic cycle. However, markets were surprisedclosed out an uneven 2022 with the release of the January 2018 Employment Situation report. The unemployment rate remained unchanged, but wages were up 2.9% from a year earlier, marking the fastest rate of wage growth since 2009.

The housing market has remained strong, showing continued strong price growth, particularly in the starter-home market. Researchers from Zillow, Mortgage Bankers Association, National Association of Realtors and Redfin all forecast that inventories of entry-level homes will remain tight and prices will continue to rise throughout 2018. They all also projectfourth quarter U.S. real gross domestic product rising mortgage rates, contributing to overall less affordable housing than we have enjoyed in recent years.

Indiana University’s Business Research Center projects the average economic growth rate for Indiana to virtually match the rate of national growth through 2020. Personal income growth in the state has lagged national growth levels, though the unemployment rate has been better. Personal income growth through 2020 is forecast to grow at an annual rate of 4.4%2.7%. The University of Michigan Research Seminar in Quantitative Economics has reported continued growth in personal income and real disposable income forrate was down slightly from the state in the past three years and projects continuing improvement in 2018. Michigan is entering its ninth year of economic expansion. Job growth has outpaced the national level through 2016, slowing to anthird quarter annual rate of +0.9%3.2%, as economic activity slightly cooled in the fourth quarter. Consumer spending helped drive the fourth quarter gain, while the housing market weakened and businesses cut back their spending on equipment, according to the U.S Commerce Department. U.S. real gross domestic product increased by 2.1% for the year 2022.

Workers' wage gains in 2022 helped consumer spending, the economy's main engine, grow at an annual pace of 2.1% in the fourth quarter, compared to the third quarter, and 1.9% compared to the fourth quarter of 2021.

High inflation has clearly cut into households' purchasing power. However, inflation eased in December 2022 for the sixth straight month following a mid-2022 peak.

Easing inflation follows several signs that U.S economic activity cooled in the fourth quarter. Job and wage growth slowed in December, though the labor market remained tight with historically low unemployment continuing at 3.5% in December 2022. Improving supply chains and reduced demand have relieved price pressures on goods, but services prices continued to climb in part because of wage gains in a tight labor market. Federal Reserve officials are concerned that tight U.S. labor markets could sustain higher prices in the years to come.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the overall consumer price index increased 6.5% in December from a year ago. Consumer inflation, excluding volatile energy and food prices, the so-called core consumer-price-index, rose 5.7% in December from a year earlier. The index had accelerated to a new four-decade high in September of 6.6%, compared to a year earlier.

Many economists are worried about the possibility of a recession within the next 12 months. They expect the Federal Reserve's efforts to combat high inflation by raising interest rates to further weigh on the economy by triggering spending cutbacks and job losses.

Conditions in U.S. Housing Markets. Home sales slipped to cap their worst year since 2014, primarily driven by higher home prices and higher mortgage interest rates. According to the National Association of Realtors ("NAR"), existing-home sales fell for the eleventh straight month in December 2022, the slowest sales pace since November 2010, as the once-booming housing market has become a bigger drag on the U.S. economy. Sales in December were down 34% from a year earlier. Sales in 2022 fell 17.8% from the prior year.

Despite the sharp decline in sales, home prices have risen on a year-over-year basis, in part because supply remained tight. But price growth has slowed from its red-hot pace earlier in the year. According to the NAR, the median sales price of an existing home climbed in December by only 2.3% from a year earlier. Prices fell for the sixth straight month.

Total housing inventory at the end of December was enough to cover 2.9 months of sales, still historically low.

The Federal Reserve's rate increases have fueled higher mortgage rates. In late October, the average rate on a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage, according to Freddie Mac, reached its highest level in two decades at 7.08%. However, it had declined by the end of the year to 6.42%

With sustained price appreciation and higher mortgage rates, affordability continues to be a challenge for potential home buyers.

Interest Rate Levels and Volatility.The Federal Reserve seeks to achieve maximum employment and inflation at the rate of 2% over the longer run. In support of these goals, at its meeting in November 2022, the FOMC raised the target range for the federal funds rate by another 75 bps to 3.75% to 4.0% and, at its meeting in December 2022, it raised the target range by another 50 bps to 4.25% to 4.50%.

The level and volatility of interest rates, including the shape of the yield curve during the three and twelve months ended 2022 were affected by several factors, principally efforts by the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates and tighten monetary policy to combat high inflation.

In 2022, as the FOMC raised short-term rates, portions of the Treasury yield curve became inverted. Investors use the 10-year Treasury yield as an indicator of investor confidence. In recent months, the 2-year rate has been consistently higher than the 10-year rate, and the 3-month rate nudged above the 10-year rate for the first three quarters of 2017. Projected job growth through 2019 is expectedtime since before the Covid-19 pandemic. That change inverted what many regard as a critical relationship in the U.S. yield curve, signaling a coming recession.

At its meeting on February 1, 2023, the FOMC decided to increaseraise the target range for the federal funds rate by 1.2%another 25 bps to 4.50% to 4.75%.


The FOMC stated that "recent indicators point to modest growth in spending and production. Job gains have been robust in recent months, and the unemployment rate has remained low. Inflation has eased somewhat but remains elevated. The Committee is highly attentive to inflation risks. The Committee seeks to achieve maximum employment and inflation at the rate of 2 percent over the longer run."

"The Committee anticipates that ongoing increases in the target range will be appropriate in order to attain a stance of monetary policy that is sufficiently restrictive to return inflation to 2 percent over time."

"In addition, the Committee will continue reducing its holdings of Treasury securities and agency debt and agency mortgage-backed securities, as described in its previously announced plans."

Impact on Operating Results. Market interest rates and trends affect yields and margins on earning assets, including advances, purchased mortgage loans, and our investment portfolio, which contribute to our overall profitability. Additionally, market interest rates drive mortgage origination and prepayment activity, which can lead to both favorable and unfavorablenet interest margin volatility in our MPP and MBS portfolios. A flat or inverted yield curve, in which the difference between short-term interest rates and long-term interest rates is low, canor negative, respectively, may have an unfavorable impact on our net interest margins. A steep yield curve, in which the difference between short-term and long-term interest rates is high, may have a favorable impact on our net interest margins. The level of interest rates also directly affects our earnings on assets funded by our interest-free capital.


Lending and investing activity by our member institutions is a key driver for our balance sheet and income growth. Such activity is a function of both prevailing interest rates and economic activity.activity, including local economic factors, particularly relating to the housing and mortgage markets. Positive economic trends couldcan drive interest rates higher, which couldcan impair growth of the mortgage market. A less active mortgage market couldcan affect demand for advances and activity levels in our mortgage program.Advantage MPP. However, borrowing patterns between our insurance company and depository members tend tocan differ during various economic and market conditions, thereby easing the potential magnitude of core business fluctuations during business cycles. Member demand for liquidity during stressed market conditions can lead to advances growth.

Local economic factors, particularly relating to the housing and mortgage markets, influence demand for advances and MPP sales activity by our member institutions.

Cash and short-term investments increased by $1.5 billion, or 22%, to fund our asset growth.

The increase in total capital was primarily as a result of additional capital stock issued$8.6 billion to members in connection withsupport the increase in advances. U.S. Treasury obligations, classified as trading securities, decreased by $1.7 billion, or 43%, to $2.2 billion, as substantially all of the Bank's purchases of U.S. Treasury obligations in 2022 were classified as available-for-sale. As a result, cash and short-term investments represented 79% of the total liquidity investments at December 31, 2022, while U.S. Treasury obligations represented 21%.

Other investment securities, which consist substantially of mortgage-backed securities and U.S. Treasury obligations classified as held-to-maturity or available-for-sale, at December 31, 2022 totaled $16.4 billion, a net increase of $2.9 billion, or 22%, from December 31, 2021, due to purchases of U.S. Treasury obligations.

The growthBank's consolidated obligations outstanding at December 31, 2022 totaled $67.3 billion, a net increase of $12.8 billion, or 23%, from December 31, 2021, which reflected increased funding needs associated with the net increase in the Bank's total assets.


Total capitalat December 31, 2022 was $3.4 billion, a net decrease of $172 million, or 4.8%, from December 31, 2021. The net decrease primarily resulted from a transfer of capital stock to MRCS upon a member's merger into a non-member, repurchases of capital stock, and unrealized losses on investments in MBS driven by the increase in market interest rates, partially offset by capital stock issuances to support the increase in advances and a net increase in retained earnings also contributed to the increase.earnings.


The Bank's regulatory capital-to-assets ratio at December 31, 2022 was 5.23%, which exceeds all applicable regulatory capital requirements.

Outlook. We believe that our financial performance will continue to provide reasonable,sufficient, risk-adjusted returns for our members across a wide range of business, financial, and economic environments.


EventsDuring 2022, demand by our members for advances was strong, primarily due to our depository members' loan growth outpacing their deposit growth, the rapid rise in market interest rates, including the adverse impact on their investment portfolios, and the availability of suitable products to assist our members in managing their balance sheets in the capital and housing marketsuncertain economic environment. We expect these factors to continue to favorably impact demand for advances in the last several years have provided opportunities for us to generate spreads well above historical levels on certain types of transactions. Lower-cost debt issuances have allowed us to enjoy higher spreads on advances, MPP, MBS and other investments over the past three years, in particular.2023. However, we anticipate spreads normalizing across the balance sheet in coming quarters.

During recent years, our advances business has experienced solid growth in both depository and insurance sectors. However, continued consolidation among our depository members and the run-off from our captive insurance company advances will continue to pressure overall advances levels. Although we believe thatexpect total advances outstanding to our member institutions could continuemoderately decline in 2023, based on a slowing economy resulting from the Federal Reserve's actions to increase, we anticipate more modest growth in our total advances balance in coming quarters.

The steady growthcombat persistent inflation, a resurgence of brokered deposits and the Federal Reserve's new bank term funding program as competitive wholesale funding alternatives, and the inability of Flagstar Bank, FSB ("Flagstar"), historically one of our mortgage loans held for portfolio over the past several years reflects MPP Advantage purchases outpacing mortgage repayments. Factors that impact the volume of mortgage loans purchased include interest rates, competition, the general level of housing activity in the United States, the level of mortgage refinancing activity,largest and consumer product preferences. Interest rates are expectedmost active borrowers, to continue to trend upward, which may lead to slowing mortgage market activity, particularly refinancing activity, and a resulting decline in mortgage purchase volume. However, the impact of a decline in purchase volume would be eased by a slower pace of portfolio attrition. We anticipate modest growth in our purchased mortgage portfolio in 2018.





Our investment securities portfolio continued to increase through 2017renew its advances outstanding as a result of purchasesthe consummation of GSE debenturesthe merger of its parent company into a non-member depository institution in late 2022.

Despite rising mortgage interest rates, we expect our mortgage loan balance outstanding to slightly increase in 2023 due to continuing strong demand by our members to participate in our Advantage MPP and agencylower levels of prepayments by our borrowers.

The loss of Flagstar as a member is expected to reduce the level of liquidity we regularly need to maintain. However, we expect to continue to maintain relatively high levels of liquidity to be able to timely support our members' needs.

We continue to seek to maintain investments in MBS while our private-label RMBS portfolio continuesup to run off.300% of total regulatory capital. We expect to continue purchasing U.S. Treasury obligations as AFS while other long-term investments, such as Agency debentures, are expected to increase our MBS holdings in 2018, along with an increasing level of non-MBS short-term liquid investments. The Finance Agency has announced that it intends to issue new minimum regulatory liquidity requirements for the FHLBanks in a separate rulemaking or guidance that may increase the Bank's liquidity requirements in the near future. A significant increase in required liquidity could cause a change in the mix of our investment portfolio and have an adverse impact on our earnings and capital adequacy.decline.


Access to debt markets has been reliable. Institutional investors, driven by increased liquidity preferences, risk aversion, andreliable, while the effects of money market fund reform, increased the market demand for FHLBank debt, which led to advantageous funding opportunities in 2017. The cost of our consolidated obligations increased significantly in 2018 will depend on2022. Going forward, we expect the cost to further increase, with the extent of the increase dependent upon several factors, including the direction and level of market interest rates, competition from other issuers of agencyAgency debt, changes in the investment preferences of potential buyers of agencyAgency debt securities, global demand, pricing in the interest-rate swap market, and other technical market factors. As LIBOR continues to be phased out, our adjustable-rate funding continues to be replaced by SOFR-indexed instruments.


In additionDespite the expected increase in funding costs, our overall interest spreads are expected to having embedded prepayment optionsincrease in 2023 as the ongoing rise in market interest rates drives asset yields higher and basis risk exposure, which increase both our market risk andresults in higher earnings volatility,on the amortization of purchased premiums on mortgage assets could also cause volatility in our earnings. However, we do not anticipate any major changes in the compositionportion of our statement of condition that would increase earnings sensitivity to changes in the market environment. assets funded by our capital.


We will continue to engage in various hedging strategies and use derivatives to assist in mitigating the volatility of earnings and the MVE that arises from the maturity structure of our financial assets and liabilities. Although derivatives are used to mitigate market risk, they also introduce the potential for short-term earnings volatility, in part due to basis risk sincerisk.

In the first quarter of 2023, we must use the OIS curveretired two swapped CO bonds prior to their contractual maturity dates and recognized net gains on debt extinguishment in placeother income of the LIBOR rate curve$19.8 million.

Considering our inherent relatively low margins as the discount ratea cooperative, we continue to estimate the fair values of collateralized LIBOR-based interest-rate-related derivatives while the hedged items are still valued using the LIBOR rate curve.

We strive to keep our operating expense ratios relatively low while maintaining adequate systems, supportlow. However, in 2023, we must absorb significant cost increases resulting from inflation and staffing. We expect operating expenseswe plan to continue to increase modestly through 2019 as we continue to strategically invest in technology to enhance our operating and risk management systems and member service capabilities. As a result, we expect a moderate increase in our operating expenses in 2023.


As a result of all of the foregoing factors, we have forecasted net income in 2023 to be significantly higher than net income in 2022.




Our board of directors' decisionsdirectors seeks to reward our members with a sufficient, risk-adjusted return on their investment, particularly those who actively utilize our products and services. On February 23, 2023, our board of directors declared a cash dividend on Class B-2 activity-based stock at an annualized rate of 6.0% and on Class B-1 non-activity-based stock at an annualized rate of 2.0%, resulting in a spread between the rates of 4.0 percentage points. The overall weighted-average annualized rate paid was 4.84%. While the overall dividend rate in 2023 will depend on many factors, we expect the board to continue to declare dividends are influenced by oura competitive dividend and maintain a meaningful spread between the rates on activity-based stock and non-activity-based stock.

The ultimate effects of economic and financial condition, overall financial performancemarkets activity, including fiscal and retained earnings,monetary policies, the conditions in the housing markets and the level and volatility of market interest rates, as well as actuallegislative and anticipated developments inregulatory actions, continue to evolve and are highly uncertain and, therefore, the overall economic and financial environment including the level of interest rates and conditions in the mortgage and credit markets. In addition,future impact on our board considers several other factors, including our risk profile, regulatory requirements, our relationship with our members and the stability of our current capital stock position and membership.business is difficult to predict.






Analysis of Results of Operations for the Years Ended December 31, 2017, 20162022 and 2015.2021.


Net Interest Income.Net interest income, which is primarily the interestIncome. Interest income on advances, mortgage loans held for portfolio, short-term investments, and investment securities lessis our primary source of revenue. Interest income for the year ended December 31, 2022 totaled $1.4 billion, an increase of $921 million compared to the prior year, primarily driven by an increase in yields resulting from the increase in market interest rates.

Interest Expense. Interest expense on consolidated obligations and interest-bearing deposits,is our primary expense. Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2022 totaled $1.1 billion, an increase of $882 million compared to the prior year, primarily driven by an increase in our cost of funds resulting from the increase in market interest rates.

Net Interest Income.As a result, net interest income is our primary source of earnings. The increase in net interest income for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to the prior year was primarily due to higher earnings on the portion of the Bank's assets funded by its capital, and lower accelerated amortization of mortgage purchase premiums resulting from lower prepayments on mortgage loans, each driven by the increase in market interest rates.

For the hedging relationships that qualified for hedge accounting, the differences between those changes in fair value (i.e. hedge ineffectiveness) are recorded in net interest income and resulted in net hedging gains of $3 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, compared to net hedging gains of $8 million for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Our net gains (losses) on derivatives fluctuate due tovolatility in the overall interest-rate environment as we hedge our asset or liability risk exposures. In general, we hold derivatives and associated hedged items to the maturity, call, or put date. Therefore, due to timing, nearly all of the cumulative net gains and losses for these financial instruments will generally reverse over the remaining contractual terms of the hedged item. However, there may be instances when we terminate these instruments prior to the maturity, call or put date, which may result in a realized gain or loss. For more information, see Notes to Financial Statements - Note 8 - Derivatives and Hedging Activities.

Average Balances. The average balances outstanding of interest-earning assets for the year ended December 31, 2022 increased by 2% compared to the prior year. The average balances of advances outstanding increased by 5%, reflecting higher member utilization of advances. However, the average balances of MBS outstanding decreased by 8%, reflecting the reduced capacity to purchase MBS during part of 2022 due to the negative impact of a capital stock repurchase on total regulatory capital. Such decrease in this higher-yielding asset resulted in an overall decrease in interest income due to changes in volume. The average balances outstanding of interest-bearing liabilities for the year ended December 31, 2022 increased by 0.3% compared to the prior year. The average balances of discount notes outstanding increased by 29%, reflecting a change in mix of funding. The average balances of CO bonds decreased by 8%. Such decrease in this previously higher-costing liability resulted in an overall decrease in interest expense due to changes in volume. As a result, the average balances of total interest-earning assets, net of interest-bearing liabilities, increased by 28%. Such increase contributed to the increase in interest income on the portion of the Bank's assets funded by its interest-free capital.

Yields.Yields/Cost of Funds. The average yield on total interest-earning assets for the year ended December 31, 20172022, including the impact of net hedging gains/losses but excluding certain impacts of trading securities, was 1.72%2.15%, an increase of 36141 bps compared to 2016,2021, resulting primarily from increases in market interest rates that led to higher yields on advances and investment securities.all of our interest-earning assets. Such increase contributed to the increase in interest income on the portion of the Bank's assets funded by its interest-free capital. The average cost of funds of total interest-bearing liabilities for the year ended December 31, 20172022, including the impact of net hedging gains/losses but excluding certain impacts of funding trading securities, was 1.34%1.83%, an increase of 32147 bps from the prior year due to higher funding costs on consolidated obligations.all of our interest-bearing liabilities. The net effect was an increasea decrease in the net interest spread of 6 bps to 0.32% for the year ended December 31, 2022 from 0.38% for the year ended December 31, 2017 from 0.34% for the year ended December 31, 2016.2021.


The average yield on total interest-earning assets for the year ended December 31, 2016 was 1.36%, an increase of 14 bps compared to 2015, resulting primarily from increases in market interest rates that led to higher yields on advances and investment securities, partially offset by lower yields on mortgage loans. The decrease in the yields on mortgage loans was due to an increase in prepayments of our higher-yielding MPP loans, resulting in accelerated amortization of purchase premiums on our newer loans. The cost of total interest-bearing liabilities for the year ended December 31, 2016 was 1.02%, an increase of 19 bps from the prior year due to higher funding costs on consolidated obligations and accelerated amortization of concession fees associated with the exercise of our call option on certain CO bonds that funded our mortgage portfolios and which were reissued at a lower cost. The net effect was a reduction in the net interest spread to 0.34% for the year ended December 31, 2016 from 0.39% for the year ended December 31, 2015.


Average Balances. The average balances of interest-earning assets for the year ended December 31, 2017 increased compared to 2016, largely due to advances and, to a lesser extent, mortgage loans and investment securities. The average amount of advances outstanding increased by 20%, generally due to members' higher funding needs. The average amount of mortgage loans held for portfolio outstanding increased by 13% due to higher purchases from members under MPP Advantage. Additionally, the increase in the average balances of investment securities was due primarily to purchases of agency MBS. The increase in average interest-bearing liabilities for the year ended December 31, 2017, compared to 2016, was due to an increase in consolidated obligations to fund the increases in the average balances of all interest-earning assets.

The average balances of interest-earning assets for the year ended December 31, 2016 increased compared to 2015, largely due to advances, investment securities and mortgage loans. The average amount of advances outstanding increased by 13%, generally due to members' higher funding needs. The increase in the average balances of investment securities was due primarily to purchases of GSE debentures and agency MBS. Additionally, the average amount of mortgage loans held for portfolio outstanding increased by 14% due to higher purchases from members under MPP Advantage. The increase in average interest-bearing liabilities for the year ended December 31, 2016, compared to 2015, was due to an increase in consolidated obligations to fund the increases in the average balances of all interest-earning assets.




Provision for (Reversal of) Credit Losses. The change in the provision for (reversal of) credit losses for the year ended December 31, 2017 compared to 2016 was insignificant.
The change in the provision for (reversal of) credit losses for the year ended December 31, 2016 compared to 2015 was due to a lower reversal of estimated MPP losses resulting from modeling updates.

The net decreaseincrease in total other income for the year ended December 31, 20172022 compared to 20162021 was due primarily due to higher net interest settlements received on economic derivatives, particularly on swaps hedging trading securities, and lower net losses on derivatives and hedging activities.

The decreasetrading securities, partially offset by declines in total other income for the year ended December 31, 2016 compared to 2015 was primarily due to lower net proceeds from litigation settlements related to certain of our private-label RMBS.

OTTI Losses.As described in detail in Notes to Financial Statements - Note 6 - Other-Than-Temporary Impairment, OTTI credit losses recorded on private-label RMBS are derived from projectionsfair values of the future cash flowsinvestments indirectly funding the liabilities under the SERP. The assets are held in a grantor trust and consist of the individual securities. These projectionsa diversified portfolio of mutual funds that are based oninvested in equity securities, bonds and alternative investments which declined in value in 2022 as a numberresult of assumptionschanges in economic conditions and expectations, which are updated on a quarterly basis. OTTI losses over the past several years have been insignificant due to the continuing economic recovery, particularlyincreases in the housing market and its favorable impact on housing prices.interest rates.


Net Gains (Losses) on DerivativesTrading Securities. We purchase fixed-rate U.S. Treasury obligations to enhance our liquidity. The shorter-term securities are classified as trading securities and Hedging Activities. Our netare recorded at fair value, with changes in fair value reported in other income. Such changes include the impact of purchase discount (premium) recorded through mark-to-market gains (losses) on derivatives and hedging activities fluctuate due tovolatility in the overall interest-rate environment as we hedge our asset or liability risk exposures. In general, we hold derivatives and associated hedged items to the maturity, call, or put date. Therefore, due to timing, nearly allthese securities. There are a number of the cumulative net gains and losses for these financial instruments will generally reverse over the remaining contractual terms of the hedged item. However, there may be instances when we terminate these instruments prior to the maturity, call or put date. Terminating the financial instrument or hedging relationship may result in a realized gain or loss. See Notes to Financial Statements - Note 11 - Derivatives and Hedging Activities for more information.

The Bank uses interest-rate swaps to hedge the risk of changes infactors that affect the fair value of certain of its advances, consolidated obligations and AFSthese securities, due toincluding changes in market interest rates. These hedging relationships are designated as fair value hedges. Changes in the estimated fair value of the derivative and, to the extent these relationships qualify for hedge accounting, changes in the fair value of the hedged item that are attributable to the hedged risk are recorded in earnings. The estimated fair values are based on a wide range of factors, including current and projected levels of interest rates, credit spreadsthe passage of time, and volatility.





For those hedging relationships These trading securities are economically hedged, so that qualified for hedge accounting,over time the differences betweengains (losses) on these securities will be generally offset by the change in the estimated fair value of the hedged items and the change in the estimated fair value of the associated interest-rate swaps, i.e., hedge ineffectiveness, resulted in a net loss of $7 millionderivatives, except for the year ended December 31, 2017 compared to a net gain of $4 million for each of the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015. The losses for the year ended December 31, 2017 were primarily due to marginal mismatches in durations on, and the increase in volume of, swapped GSE MBS, particularly Fannie Mae Delegated Underwriting and Servicing (DUS) MBS. There is less offsetting hedge ineffectiveness on the related funding due to the increased issuance of floating rate notes.any purchase discount/premium.


To the extent these hedges do not qualify for hedge accounting, or cease to qualify because they are determined to be ineffective, only the change in the fair value of the derivative is recorded in earnings with no offsetting change in the fair value of the hedged item.

For derivatives not qualifying for hedge accounting (economic hedges), the net interest settlements and the changes in the estimated fair value of the derivatives are recorded in net gains (losses) on derivatives and hedging activities. For economic hedges, the Bank recorded a net loss of $2 million for each of the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively and a net loss of $1 million for the year ended December 31, 2015.

The slight increase in total other expenses for the year ended December 31, 20172022 compared to 20162021 was due primarily to increasesvoluntary contributions to our AHP and related programs, substantially offset by a decrease in compensation and benefits, primarily driven by salary increases and higher head count. The increase in headcount was primarilyother expenses due to strengthening our information security, business continuity and risk management capabilities and reducing our reliance on contractual resources.

The increase in total other expenses for the year ended December 31, 2016 compared to 2015 was driven primarily by increases in compensation and benefits and other operating expenses. The increase in compensation and benefits wasaccelerated amortization of net actuarial loss due to merit increases, higher head count, and higher incentive compensation achievement. The increasesettlements in other operating expenses was primarily due to higher professional fees and services.2021 under our SERP.


Office of Finance Expenses.The FHLBanks fund the costs of the Office of Finance as a joint office that facilitates issuing and servicing consolidated obligations, preparation of the FHLBanks' combined quarterly and annual financial reports, and certain other functions. For each of the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, our assessments to fund the Office of Finance totaled approximately $4 million, $3 million, and $3 million, respectively.

Finance Agency Expenses.EachFHLBank is assessed a portion of the operating costs of our regulator, the Finance Agency. We have no direct control over these costs.The portion of the Finance Agency's expenses and working capital fund not allocated to Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae is allocated among the FHLBanks as assessments, which are based on the ratio of each FHLBank's minimum required regulatory capital to the aggregate minimum required regulatory capital of every FHLBank. For each of the years ended December 31, 20172022 and 2021, our portion totaled $7 million and $6 million, 2016respectively.

Our proportionate share of the Office of Finance's operating and 2015,capital expenditures is calculated based upon two components as follows: (i) two-thirds based on our share of total consolidated obligations outstanding and (ii) one-third based on equal pro-rata allocation. For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, our assessments to fund the Office of Finance Agency assessments totaled approximately $3 million.$5 million and $6 million, respectively.


In 2022, other expenses include an additional 2.5% of net earnings accrued for voluntary contributions to our AHP of $4 million and voluntary allocations to various affordable housing, small business and community investment programs totaling $2 million, both to be available in 2023. The combined required and voluntary contributions and allocations in 2022 totaled $26 million and further demonstrate our commitment to promoting affordable, sustainable and equitable housing in Michigan and Indiana.

AHP Assessments. The FHLBanks are required to set aside annually, in the aggregate, the greater of $100 million or 10% of their net earnings to fund the AHP. For purposes of the AHP calculation, net earnings is defined as income before assessments, plus interest expense related to MRCS, if applicable. For each of the years ended December 31, 2017, 20162022 and 2015,2021, our AHP expenseassessment was approximately $18 million, $13$20 million and $13$11 million, respectively. Our AHP expenseassessment fluctuates in accordance with our net earnings.


If we experienced a net loss during a quarter but still had net earnings for the yearOur voluntary contributions to date, our obligation to the AHP would be calculated based on our year-to-date net earnings. If we experienced a net loss for a full year, we would have no obligation to the AHP for the year, since our required annual contribution is limited to annual net earnings.and other related programs are reported in other expenses.


If the FHLBanks' aggregate 10% contribution were less than $100 million, each FHLBank would be required to contribute an additional pro rata amount. The proration would be based on the net earnings of each FHLBank in relation to the net earnings of all FHLBanks for the previous year, up to the Bank's annual net earnings. There was no shortfall in 2017, 2016 or 2015.

If we determine that our required AHP contributions are adversely affecting our financial stability, we may apply to the Finance Agency for a temporary suspension of our contributions. We did not make such an application in 2017, 2016 or 2015.

Total Other Comprehensive Income (Loss).Total other comprehensive income (loss) for the years ended 2017, 2016 and 2015 was $55 million, $33 million and $(24) million, respectively. Total other comprehensive income for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 consisted substantially of unrealized gains on non-OTTI AFS securities. Total other comprehensive lossOCI for the year ended December 31, 20152022 consisted primarily of decreases in the fair value ofnet unrealized losses on AFS securities, primarily agencycompared to net unrealized gains on AFS securities for 2021. These amounts were primarily impacted by changes in interest rates, credit spreads and to a lesser extent, an increase in the amortized cost basis of OTTI AFS MBS not offset by an increase in the fair value.volatility.







Operating Segments
 
Our products and services are grouped within two operating segments:traditional and mortgage loans.
 
Traditional. The traditional segment consists of (i) credit products (including advances, standby letters of credit, and lines of credit), (ii) investments (including federal funds sold, securities purchased under agreements to resell, AFS securitiesinterest-bearing demand deposit accounts, and HTMinvestment securities), and (iii) and correspondent services and deposits.

The increase in net income for the mortgage loans segment for the year ended December 31, 20172022 compared to 2016the prior year was substantially due to higher net interest income resulting from an increase in the average outstanding balancelower accelerated amortization of mortgage loans held for portfolio, a decrease in amortization of concession fees on called consolidated obligations, and a decrease in amortization of purchasedpurchase premiums resulting from lower prepayments.

The decrease in net income forprincipal prepayments, driven by the mortgage loans segment for the year ended December 31, 2016 compared to 2015 was primarily due to a decrease in net interest income resulting from higher prepayments of MPP loans, which caused accelerated amortization of purchased premiums on our newer loans. The decrease also resulted from higher funding costs and the accelerated amortization of concession fees associated with the exercise of our call option on certain CO bonds funding our mortgage loan portfolio which were reissued at a lower cost. Partially offsetting this decrease was an increase in the average outstanding balance of mortgage loans held for portfolio.market interest rates.

Total assets were $62.3 billion as of December 31, 2017,2022 were $72.3 billion, an increase of 16%$12.3 billion, or 20%, compared to December 31, 2016. This increase of $8.4 billion was2021, primarily duedriven by net increases in advances outstanding to an increase in advances.members. The mix of our assets at December 31, 2022 changed compared to December 31, 2021 in that advances as a percent of total assets changedincreased from 46% to 51%. In addition, substantially all of our purchases of U.S. Treasury obligations in 2022 were classified as AFS securities.

Advances. In general, advances fluctuate in accordance with our members' funding needs, primarily determined by their deposit levels, mortgage pipelines, loan growth, investment opportunities, available collateral, other balance sheet strategies, and the cost of alternative funding options.

Advances at December 31, 2022 at carrying value totaled $36.7 billion, a net increase of $9.2 billion, or 33%, compared to December 31, 2021. This increase reflects higher demand by our members for advances primarily in response to our depository members' loan growth outpacing their deposit growth, rising market interest rates, including the adverse impact on their investment portfolios, and the availability of suitable products to assist our members in managing their balance sheets in the current economic environment.

Our advances portfolio is well-diversified with advances to commercial banks and savings institutions, credit unions, and insurance companies. As a percent of total advances outstanding at par value, at December 31, 2022, advances to depository institutions were 64%, while advances to insurance companies were 36%.

The outstanding advances to one captive insurer are not required to be repaid prior to their various maturity dates through 2024.

Our advances portfolio includes fixed- and variable-rate advances, as well as callable or prepayable and putable advances. Prepayable advances may be prepaid on specified dates without incurring repayment or termination fees. All other advances may only be prepaid by the borrower paying a fee that is sufficient to make us financially indifferent to the prepayment.

During the year ended December 31, 2022, the par value of advances due in one year or less increased by 85%, while advances due after one year increased by 17%. As a result, advances due in one year or less, as a percentage of the total outstanding at par, totaled 39% at December 31, 2022, an increase from 29% at December 31, 2021. However, during the year ended December 31, 2022, in response to our exercise of an option on certain long-term putable advances, several members replaced that funding with short-term advances without put options. Based on the earlier of the redemption or the next put date, advances due in one year or less increased by 50%, while advances due after one year increased by 23%. As a result, advances due in one year or less on that basis, as a percentage of the total outstanding at par, totaled 54% and 49% at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Mortgage Loans Held for Portfolio.We purchase fixed-rate mortgage loans from our members to support our housing mission, provide an additional source of liquidity to our members, diversify our assets, and generate additional earnings. In general, our volume of mortgage loans purchased is affected by several factors, including interest rates, competition, the general level of housing and refinancing activity in the United States, consumer product preferences, our balance sheet capacity and risk appetite, and regulatory considerations.

Mortgage loans held for portfolio at December 31, 2022, at carrying value, totaled $7.7 billion, a net increase of $71 million, or 1%, from December 31, 2021, as the Bank's purchases from its members slightly during 2017,exceeded principal repayments by borrowers.

We maintain an allowance for credit losses based on our best estimate of expected losses over the remaining life of each loan. The following table presents the components of the allowance for credit losses, including the credit enhancement waterfall for MPP ($ amounts in millions).

Components of AllowanceDecember 31, 2022December 31, 2021
MPP expected losses remaining after borrower's equity, before credit enhancements$4.7 $2.4 
Portion of expected losses recoverable from credit enhancements:
PMI(1.4)(0.5)

SMI(0.2)(0.4)

Allowance for unrecoverable PMI/SMI— — 
Allowance for MPP credit losses0.1 0.2 
Allowance for Mortgage Partnership Finance® Program credit losses0.1 0.1 
Allowance for credit losses$0.2 $0.3 

(1)    Amounts recoverable are limited to (i) the expected losses remaining after borrower's equity and PMI and (ii) the remaining balance in each pool's portion of the LRA. The remainder of the total LRA balance is available to cover any losses not yet expected and to distribute any excess funds to the PFIs.

Our MPP was designed to require loan servicers to foreclose loans and liquidate properties in the servicer's name rather than in the Bank's name. Therefore, we do not take title to any foreclosed property or enter into any other legal agreement under which the borrower conveys all interest in the property to the Bank to satisfy the loan. Upon completion of a triggering event (short sale, deed in lieu of foreclosure, foreclosure sale or post-sale confirmation or ratification, as applicable), the servicer is required to remit to us the full UPB and accrued interest at the next feasible remittance. Upon receipt of the full UPB and accrued interest, the mortgage loan is derecognized from the statement of condition. As a result of these factors, we do not classify as Real Estate Owned any foreclosed properties collateralizing MPP loans that were previously recorded on the statement of condition.

As the servicer progresses through the process from foreclosure to liquidation, the Bank is paid in full and the servicer files a claim against the various credit enhancements for reimbursement of losses incurred. The claim is then reviewed and paid as appropriate under the various credit enhancement policies or guidelines. At December 31, 2022, principal previously paid in full by our MPP servicers totaling $0.4 million remains subject to potential claims by those servicers for any losses resulting from past or future liquidations of the underlying properties. An estimate of the losses is included in the MPP allowance for credit losses.

In the case of a delay in receiving final payoff from the servicer beyond the second remittance cycle after a triggering event, we reclassify the amount owed from mortgage loans to a separate amount receivable from the servicer. The receivable is then evaluated for the amount expected to be recovered.

Liquidity Investments.

Cash and Short-Term Investments.Cash andshort-term investments at December 31, 2022 totaled $8.6 billion, an increase of $1.5 billion, or 22%, from December 31, 2021 to support the increase in advances. Cash and short-term investments as a percent of total assets at December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 each totaled 12%.

Trading Securities. The Bank has purchased fixed-rate U.S. Treasury obligations as trading securities to enhance its liquidity. Such securities outstanding at December 31, 2022 totaled $2.2 billion, a decrease of $1.7 billion, or 43%, from December 31, 2021, as substantially all of the Bank's purchases of U.S. Treasury obligations in 2022 were classified as AFS.

Liquidity investments at December 31, 2022 totaled $10.8 billion, a decrease of $190 million, or 2%, from December 31, 2021. The total outstanding balance and composition of our liquidity investments are influenced by our liquidity needs, regulatory requirements, actual and anticipated member advance activity, market conditions, and the availability of short-term investments at attractive interest rates, relative to our cost of funds.




Other Investment Securities.AFS securities at December 31, 2022 totaled $12.2 billion, a net increase of $3.0 billion, or 33%, from December 31, 2021. The increase resulted primarily from purchases of U.S. Treasury obligations classified as AFS.

Net unrealized losses on AFS securities at December 31, 2022 totaled $(10) million, a net decrease of $162 million compared to December 31, 2021, primarily due to changes in interest rates, credit spreads and volatility.

HTM securities at December 31, 2022 totaled $4.2 billion, a net decrease of $74 million, or 2%, from December 31, 2021. The decrease was due to repayments of HTM securities exceeding purchases.

The mix of fixed- vs. variable-rate AFS and HTM securities at December 31, 2022 changed slightly from December 31, 2021, primarily due to purchases of fixed-rate U.S. Treasury obligations. However, all of the growthfixed-rate AFS securities are swapped to effectively create variable-rate securities, consistent with our balance sheet strategies to manage interest-rate risk.

(1)    Year of redemption on our MBS is based on contractual maturity. Their actual maturities will likely differ from contractual maturities as borrowers have the right to prepay their obligations with or without prepayment fees.
(2)    The weighted average yields on AFS and HTM securities are calculated as the sum of each debt security using the period end balances multiplied by the coupon rate adjusted by the impact of amortization and accretion of premiums and discounts, divided by the total debt securities in the applicable AFS or HTM portfolio. The result is then multiplied by 100 to express it as a percentage.

At December 31, 2022, based on contractual maturities, as a percentage of total carrying value, AFS and HTM securities due in one year or less were 1%, due after one year through five years were 23%, due after 5 years through 10 years were 50%, and due after 10 years were 26%.

The following table presents our variable-rate MBS outstanding by the associated interest-rate index ($ amounts in millions).

LIBOR2,018 2,669 
Total variable-rate MBS, at principal amount$4,012 $4,069 

The shift from LIBOR-indexed MBS to SOFR-indexed MBS is due to our continued steps to transition our LIBOR-linked financial instruments and contracts to SOFR. See Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk - Replacement of the LIBOR Benchmark Interest Rate.

Under the Finance Agency's Prudential Management and Operations Standards, if our non-advance assets were to grow by more than 30% over the six calendar quarters preceding a Finance Agency determination that we have failed to meet any of these standards, the Finance Agency would be required to impose one or more sanctions on us, which could include, among others, a limit on asset growth, an increase in the level of retained earnings, and a prohibition on dividends or the redemption or repurchase of capitalcapital stock. Through the six-quarter period ended December 31, 2017,2022, our growth in non-advance assets did not exceed 30%.


Advances. In general, advances fluctuate in accordance with our members' funding needs, primarily determined by their deposit levels, mortgage pipelines, loan growth, investment opportunities, available collateral, other balance sheet strategies, and the cost



AdvancesTotal Liabilities. Total liabilities at carrying value totaled $34.1 billion at December 31, 2017,2022 were $68.9 billion, a net increase of 21% compared to December 31, 2016, in spite of the 10% decline in advances outstanding to captive insurers. In accordance with the Final Membership Rule, by February 19, 2017, the memberships of the six captive insurers that were admitted as members on or after September 12, 2014 were terminated and all of their outstanding advances were fully repaid.

Advances to depository members - comprising commercial banks, savings institutions and credit unions - increased by 42%. Advances to insurance company members (excluding captive insurance companies) increased by 8%. The significant increase in advances to depository members resulted in a change in the mix of advances by member type during the year. Advances to depository institutions, as a percent of total advances outstanding, increased from 47% at December 31, 2016 to 55% at December 31, 2017, while advances to all insurance companies decreased from 53% to 45% at those dates.

Our advance portfolio includes fixed- and variable-rate advances, as well as callable or prepayable and putable advances. For prepayable advances, the advance can be prepaid on specified dates without incurring repayment or termination fees. All other advances may only be prepaid by the borrower paying a fee that is sufficient to make us financially indifferent to the prepayment of the advance.

Callable advances with lockout dates that have not yet passed have not been classified as callable or prepayable, but instead as either fixed- or variable-rate. If the lockout dates were ignored, total callable or prepayable advances would total $8.9$12.5 billion, or 26%22%, and $7.8 billion or 28%, of advances outstanding, at par, at December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Advances due in one year or less increased from 45% of the total outstanding, at par, at December 31, 2016 to 50% of the total outstanding, at par, at December 31, 2017, reflecting members' increased demand for short-term funding. However, longer-term advances also grew during the year. See Notes to Financial Statements - Note 7 - Advances for more information.





Mortgage Loans Held for Portfolio.We purchase mortgage loans from our members to support our housing mission, provide an additional source of liquidity to our members, diversify our assets, and generate additional earnings. In general, our volume of mortgage loans purchased is affected by several factors, including interest rates, competition, the general level of housing and refinancing activity in the United States, consumer product preferences and regulatory considerations.

In 2010, we began offering MPP Advantage for new conventional MPP loans, which utilizes an enhanced fixed LRA account for credit enhancement consistent with Finance Agency regulations, instead of utilizing coverage from SMI providers. The only substantive difference between our original MPP and MPP Advantage for conventional mortgage loans is the credit enhancement structure. Upon implementation of MPP Advantage, the original MPP was phased out and is no longer being used for acquisitions of new conventional loans. See Item 1. Business - Operating Segments - Mortgage Loans for more detailed information about the credit enhancement structures for our original MPP and MPP Advantage.

In 2012 - 2014, we purchased participating interests from the FHLBank of Topeka in mortgage loans originated by certain of its PFIs through their participation in the MPF Program.

To continue to meet the needs of our members and maintain an appropriate level of mortgage loans held for portfolio on our statement of condition, in December 2016, we agreed to sell a 90% participating interest in a $100 million MCC of certain newly acquired MPP loans to the FHLBank of Atlanta. Principal settled in December 2016 totaled $72 million, and the remaining $18 million settled in January 2017.

The increase in the UPB of mortgage loans held for portfolio was due to purchases under MPP Advantage exceeding repayments of outstanding MPP and MPF Program loans. Over time, the aggregate outstanding balance of mortgage loans purchased under our original MPP and MPF Program will continue to decrease.

We have established and maintain an allowance for loan losses based on our best estimate of probable losses over the loss emergence period, which we have estimated to be 24 months. Our estimate of MPP losses remaining after borrowers' equity, but before credit enhancements, was $5 million at December 31, 2017 and $9 million at December 31, 2016. The decrease from December 31, 2016 to December 31, 2017 was primarily the result of a smaller delinquent loan population and improvements in third-party modeled values. After consideration of the portion recoverable under the associated credit enhancements, the resulting allowance for MPP loan losses was $750 thousand at December 31, 2017 and 2016. See Notes to Financial Statements - Note 9 - Allowance for Credit Losses, Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates, and Risk Management - Credit Risk Management - Mortgage Loans Held for Portfolio - MPP for more information.

During the third quarter of 2017, major hurricanes caused substantial damage to property in several states on the southeastern coasts of the United States. In response to those hurricanes, the Bank communicated to its mortgage loan servicers that special relief would be available for borrowers in Federal Emergency Management Agency ("FEMA") designated disaster areas. Under this relief, mortgage loan servicers are authorized to grant forbearance or temporarily suspend mortgage payments for up to 90 days for borrowers whose income is adversely affected by the disaster or for borrowers whose property is located in a FEMA designated disaster area. Mortgage loan servicers were also directed to suspend collections and foreclosure proceedings in these areas for 90 days. Based on the circumstances of individual borrowers, additional forbearance time may be granted.





The Bank has sought to analyze the potential impact of the hurricanes on the Bank’s mortgage loans held for portfolio. Because all or a portion of any incurred losses would be covered by the credit enhancements in place and because there is no concentration of the Bank's loans in the affected states, we do not expect that any net losses resulting from the hurricanes will have a material effect on the Bank’s financial condition or results of operations. Based on the limited information currently available, we did not record any additional allowance for loan losses as of December 31, 2017. If additional information becomes available indicating that any losses are probable and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated, we will record an appropriate addition to the allowance at that time.

Cash and Short-Term Investments.The total outstanding balance and composition of our short-term investment portfolio is influenced by our liquidity needs, regulatory requirements, member advance activity, market conditions and the availability of short-term investments at attractive interest rates, relative to our cost of funds. See Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Liquidity and Capital Resources for more information.

Cash andshort-term investments totaled $4.6 billion at December 31, 2017, an increase of 11% compared to December 31, 2016. However, cash and short-term investments as a percent of total assets were 7% at December 31, 2017 compared to 8% at December 31, 2016.

Cash and short-term investments totaled $4.1 billion at December 31, 2016, a decrease of 16% compared to December 31, 2015. Cash and short-term investments as a percent of total assets were 8% at December 31, 2016 compared to 10% at December 31, 2015. The concentration of cash at December 31, 2015 was due to a lack of short-term investments that met our minimum return thresholds on that date.

Investment Securities.AFS securities totaled $7.1 billion at December 31, 2017, a net increase of 18% compared to $6.1 billion at December 31, 2016. Because regulatory capital increased during 2017 as a result of additional capital stock issued to support advance growth, we purchased additional GSE MBS to maintain a ratio of MBS and ABS to total regulatory capital of up to 300%.

Net unrealized gains on AFS securities totaled $122 million at December 31, 2017, an increase of $55 million compared to December 31, 2016, primarily due to changes in interest rates, credit spreads and volatility, and higher volume.




AFS securities totaled $6.1 billion at December 31, 2016, a net increase of 49% compared to $4.1 billion at December 31, 2015. The increase resulted from purchases of GSE debentures and MBS, partially offset by principal paydowns of private-label RMBS. See Notes to Financial Statements - Note 4 - Available-for-Sale Securities for more information.

HTM securities totaled $5.9 billion at December 31, 2017, relatively unchanged from December 31, 2016. At December 31, 2017, the estimated fair value of our HTM securities in an unrealized loss position totaled $2.8 billion, a decrease of 19% from $3.4 billion at December 31, 2016, primarily due to changes in interest rates, credit spreads and volatility. The associated unrealized losses decreased from $23 million at December 31, 2016 to $12 million at December 31, 2017.

HTM securities totaled $5.8 billion at December 31, 2016, a decrease of 8% compared to $6.3 billion at December 31, 2015, primarily due to principal paydowns. See Notes to Financial Statements - Note 5 - Held-to-Maturity Securities for more information.

Year of redemption on our MBS and ABS is based on contractual maturity. Their actual maturities will likely differ from contractual maturities as borrowers have the right to prepay their obligations with or without prepayment fees.

The percentage of non-MBS AFS securities due in one year or less decreased to 2% at December 31, 2017 from 21% at December 31, 2016, and the percentage due after one year through five years increased to 53% at December 31, 2017 from 39% at December 31, 2016. The percentage due after 5 years through 10 years increased to 41% at December 31, 2017 from 37% at December 31, 2016. The changes were due to reinvestments in longer-term securities during 2017.

Total Liabilities. Total liabilities were $59.4 billion at December 31, 2017, an increase of 15% compared to December 31, 2016,2021, substantially due to an increase in consolidated obligations.


Deposits (Liabilities).Total deposits were $565 million at December 31, 2017, an increase2022 were $596 million, a net decrease of 8% compared to $770 million, or 56%, from December 31, 2016.2021. These deposits representprovide a relatively small portion of our funding. The balances of these accounts can fluctuate from period to period and vary depending upon such factors as the attractiveness of our deposit pricing relative to the rates available on alternative money market instruments, members' preferences with respect to the maturity of their investments, and members' liquidity.


At December 31, 2022, we had uninsured deposits totaling $24 million. The following table presents the average amountmaturities of these deposits are $12 million in three months or less, $3 million in three months to six months and the average rate paid on, each category of deposits that exceeds 10% of average total deposits ($ amounts$9 million in millions).

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Results of Operations and Changes in Financial Condition - Analysis of Results of Operations for the Years Ended December 31, 2022 and 2021.

Consolidated Obligations.The overall balance of our consolidated obligations fluctuates in relation to our total assets and the availability of alternative sources of funds. The carrying value of consolidated obligations outstanding at December 31, 2022 totaled $67.3 billion, a net increase of $12.8 billion, or 23%, from December 31, 2021, which reflected increased funding needs associated with the net increase in the Bank's total assets.

The composition of our consolidated obligations can fluctuate significantly based on comparative changes in their cost levels, supply and demand conditions, demand for various types and maturities of advances, and our overall balance sheet management strategy. Discount notes are issued to provide short-term funds, while CO bonds are generally issued to provide a longer-term mix of funding.

The carrying value Some CO bonds are issued with terms which permit us to repay them when more favorable funding opportunities emerge. We apply a variety of strategies to effectively manage the balance and structure of our consolidated obligations outstanding at December 31, 2017 totaled $58.3 billion, a net increase of $8.0 billion or 16% from December 31, 2016, which included an increase in discount notesas market conditions and CO bonds to fund our asset growth.levels change.

Derivatives.We classify interest-rate swaps as derivative assets or liabilities according to the net estimated fair value of the interest-rate swaps with each counterparty. Asof December 31, 20172022 and 2016,2021, we had derivative assets, net of collateral held or posted, including accrued interest, with estimated fair values of $128$434 million and $135$220 million, respectively, and derivative liabilities, net of collateral held or posted, including accrued interest, with estimated fair values of $3 $19 million and $25$12 million, respectively. The estimated fair values are based on a wide range of factors, including current and projected levels of interest rates, credit spreads and volatility. Increases and decreases in the fair value of derivatives are primarily caused by changes in the derivatives' respective underlying interest-rate indices.



The volume of derivative hedges is often expressed in terms of notional amounts, which is the amount upon which interest payments are calculated. The following table presents the notional amounts by type of hedged item regardless of whether or not it is in a qualifying hedge relationship ($ amounts in millions).

The increase in the total notional amount during the year-ended December 31, 2022 of $17.2 billion, or 31%, was substantially due to an increase in derivatives hedging CO bonds, driven primarily by an increase in long-term callable CO bonds, and an increase in fixed-rate AFS securities, driven primarily by the purchases of U.S. Treasury obligations.

The following table presents the notional amounts of derivatives (cleared and uncleared) indexed to a variable interest rate ($ amounts in millions).

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity.We endeavor to manage our liquidity in order to be able at all times to satisfy our members' needs for short- and long-term funds, repay maturing consolidated obligations, redeem or repurchase excess stock and meet other financial obligations. We are required to maintain liquidity in accordance with the Bank Act, certain Finance Agency regulations and related policies established by our management and board of directors.


Our primary sources of liquidity are holdings of liquid assets, comprised of cash, and short-term investments, and trading securities, as well as the issuance of consolidated obligations. Our cash and short-term investments portfolio totaled $4.6 billion at December 31, 2017. Our short-term investments generally consist of high-quality financial instruments, many of which mature overnight. We manage our short-term investment portfolio in response to economic conditions and market events and uncertainties. As a result, the overall level of our short-term investment portfolio may fluctuate accordingly.


Historically, our status as a GSE and favorable credit ratings have provided us with excellent access to capital markets. Our ability to obtain funds through the issuance of consolidated obligations at acceptable interest costs depends on prevailing conditions in the capital markets, particularly the short-term capital markets, and the capital markets' perception of the riskiness of those obligations. Our consolidated obligations are not obligations of, and they are not guaranteed by, the United States government, although they have historically received the same credit rating as the United States government bond credit rating. The rating has not been affected by rating actions taken with respect to individual FHLBanks. During the year ended December 31, 2017,2022, we maintained sufficient access to funding; our net proceeds from the issuance of consolidated obligations totaled $239.9 billion.$853.6 billion.


In addition, by statute, the United States Secretary of the Treasury may acquire our consolidated obligations up to an aggregate principal amount outstanding of $4.0 billion. TheThis statutory authority provided by this statute may be exercised only if alternative means cannot be effectively employed to permit us 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 would be repaid at the earliest practicable date. As of this date, this authority has notnever been exercised.


ToHowever, to protect us against temporary disruptions in access to the debt markets, in response to increased capital market volatility, the Finance Agency currently requires us to: (i) maintain contingent liquidity sufficient to meet liquidity needs that shall,cover, at a minimum, cover five20 calendar days of inability to accessissue consolidated obligations in the debt markets;obligations; (ii) have available at all times an amount greater than or equal to our members' current deposits invested in specific assets; (iii) maintain, in the aggregate, unpledged qualifying assets in an amount at least equal to our participation in total consolidated obligations outstanding; and (iv) maintain, through short-term investments, an amount at least equal to our anticipated cash outflows under two hypothetical adverse scenarios.We anticipate our liquidity will continue to meet or exceed the Finance Agency's standards going forward.


The Finance Agency also provides guidance related to asset/liability maturity funding gap limits. Funding gap metrics measure the difference between assets and liabilities that are scheduled to mature during a specified period of time and are expressed as a percentage of total assets. As of December 31, 2022, we were operating within those limits.

To support member deposits, the Bank Act requires us to have at all times a liquidity deposit reserve in an amount equal to the current deposits received from our members invested in (i) obligations of the United States, (ii) deposits in eligible banks or trust companies, or (iii) advances with a maturity not exceeding five years. The following table presents our excess liquidity deposit reserves ($ amounts in millions).

The increase in liquidity deposit reserves is primarily due to an increase in advances maturing in five years or less as well as purchases of U.S. Treasury obligations.

We must maintain assets that are free from any lien or pledge in an amount at least equal to the amount of our consolidated obligations outstanding from among the following types of qualifying assets:


cash;
obligations of, or fully guaranteed by, the United States;
advances;
mortgages that have any guaranty, insurance, or commitment from the United States or any agency of the United States; and
investments described in Section 16(a) of the Bank Act, which include, among others, securities that a fiduciary or trustee may purchase under the laws of the state in which the FHLBank is located.

We also maintain a contingency liquidity plan designed to enable us to meet our obligations and the liquidity needs of our members in the event of short-term capital market disruptions, or operational disruptions at our Bank and/or the Office of Finance.


New or revised regulatory guidance from the Finance Agency could continue to increase the amount and change the characteristics of liquidity that we are required to maintain. We have not identified any other trends, demands, commitments, or events that are likely to materially increase or decrease our liquidity. However, as discussed in our Outlook, the Finance Agency has announced that it intends to issue new minimum regulatory liquidity requirements for the FHLBanks in a separate rulemaking or guidance that may increase the Bank's liquidity requirements in the near future.


Changes in Cash Flow.The cash flows fromour assets and liabilities support our mission to provide our members with competitively priced funding, a reasonable return on their investment in our capital stock, and support for community investmentinvestment activities. The balances of our assets and liabilities can vary significantly in the normal course of business due to the amount and timing of cash flows, which are affected by member-driven activities and market conditions. However, our net cash flows from operations have been stable. Net cash provided by operating activities was $264 million for the year ended December 31, 2017,2022 was $1.5 billion, compared to $239 millionnet cash provided by operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2016 and $251 million for2021 of $444 million. The net increase in cash provided of $1.0 billion was substantially due to the year ended December 31, 2015.fluctuation in variation margin payments on cleared derivatives. Such payments are treated by the Clearinghouses as daily settled contracts.

Capital Resources.Resources


Our financial strategies are generally designed to enable us to safely expand and contract our assets, liabilities, and capital in response to changes in our member base and in our members' credit needs. Our capital generally grows when members are required to purchase additional capital stock as they increase their advances borrowings or other business activities with us and from the consistent accumulation of retained earnings. We may also repurchase excess capital stock from our members as business activities with them decline. In addition, in order to meet internally established thresholds or to meet our regulatory capital requirement, we, at the discretion of our board of directors, could undertake capital preservation initiatives such as: (i) voluntarily reducing or eliminating dividend payments; (ii) suspending excess capital stock repurchases; or (iii) raising capital stock holding requirements for our members.

Finance Agency rules limit the ability of an FHLBank to issue excess stock under certain circumstances, including when its total excess stock exceeds 1% of total assets or if the issuance of excess stock would cause total excess stock to exceed 1% of total assets. Our excessThe increase in required capital stock at December 31, 20172022 was 0.5%due to the increase in advances outstanding. The decrease in total excess stock during the year ended December 31, 2022 resulted primarily from repurchases totaling $167 million to comply with our capital plan as a result of our total assets. Therefore, we are currently permitted to issue new excess stock to members and distribute stock dividends, should we choose to do so, subject to these regulatory limitations.capital ratio exceeding 6.0% at January 31, 2022.


Under our capital plan, the Bank is required to repurchase excess stock if its regulatory capital ratio as of the last day of any month exceeds a specific ratio established by the board of directors from time to time, currently 5.75%, by at least 25 bps. As a result, the current threshold for repurchase is a regulatory capital ratio of 6.0%. Our regulatory capital ratio at December 31, 2022 was 5.23%. Excess stock must be repurchased under these circumstances only to the extent required to reduce the Bank's regulatory capital ratio to such specified ratio. Otherwise, we are not required to redeem or repurchase excess stock from a member until five years (or, in the case of Class A stock, six months) after the earliest of (i) termination of the membership, (ii) our receipt of notice of voluntary withdrawal from membership, or (iii) the member's request for redemption of its excess stock. At our discretion, we may also voluntarily repurchase, and have repurchased from time to time, excess stock without a member request, upon approval of our board of directors and with 15 days' notice to the member in accordance with our capital plan.


Statutory and Regulatory Restrictions on Capital Stock Redemption.In accordance with the Bank Act, each class of FHLBank stock is considered putable by the member. However, there are significant statutory and regulatory restrictions on our obligation to redeem, or right to repurchase, the outstanding stock, including the following:


We may not redeem or repurchase any capital stock if, following such action, we would fail to satisfy any of our minimum capital requirements. By law, no FHLBankcapital stock may be redeemed or repurchased at any time at which we are undercapitalized.
We may not redeem or repurchase any capital stock without approval of the Finance Agency if either our board of directors or the Finance Agency determines that we have incurred, or are likely to incur, losses resulting, or expected to result, in a charge against capital while such charges are continuing or expected to continue.


Additionally, we may not redeem or repurchase shares of capital stock from any member if (i) the principal or interest due on any consolidated obligation has not been paid in full when due; (ii) we fail to certify in writing to the Finance Agency that we will remain in compliance with our liquidity requirements and will remain capable of making full and timely payment of all of our current obligations; (iii) we notify the Finance Agency that we cannot provide the foregoing certification, project that we will fail to comply with statutory or regulatory liquidity requirements or will be unable to timely and fully meet all of our obligations; (iv) we actually fail to comply with statutory or regulatory liquidity requirements or to timely and fully meet all of our current obligations; or (v) we enter or negotiate to enter into an agreement with one or more FHLBanks to obtain financial assistance to meet our current obligations.

If, during the period between receipt of a stock redemption notification from a member and the actual redemption (which may last indefinitely if any of the restrictions on capital stock redemption discussed above have occurred), the Bank is liquidated, merged involuntarily, or mergesmerged upon our board of directors' approval or consent with one or more other FHLBanks, the consideration for the stock or the redemption value of the stock will be established after the settlement of all senior claims. Generally, no claims would be subordinated to the rights of our shareholders.

If the Bank were to be liquidated, after payment in full to our creditors, our shareholders would be entitled to receive the par value of their capital stock as well as retained earnings, if any, in an amount proportional to the shareholder's allocation of total shares of capitalClass B stock at the time of liquidation. In the event of a merger or consolidation, our board of directors must determine the rights and preferences of our shareholders, subject to any terms and conditions imposed by the Finance Agency.

In addition, our board of directors declaredmakes stock ownership a supplemental cash dividend of 2.50% (annualized) on our Class B-1 capital stock and 2.00% (annualized) on our Class B-2 capital stock.desirable investment alternative.


Restricted Retained Earnings.WeIn accordance with the Joint Capital Enhancement Agreement, we allocate 20% of our net income each quarter to a restricted retained earnings account until the balance of that account equals at least 1% of the average balance of outstanding consolidated obligations for the previous quarter. These restricted retained earnings will not be available from which to pay dividends except to the extent the restricted retained earnings balance exceeds 1.5% of our average balance of outstanding consolidated obligations for the previous quarter. We do not expect either level to be reached for several years.


Adequacy of Capital.In addition to possessing the authority to prohibit stock redemptions, our board of directors has the right to require our members to make additional capital stock purchases as needed to satisfy statutory and regulatory capital requirements.

Our board of directors has a statutory obligation to review and adjust member capital stock requirements in order to comply with our minimum capital requirements, and each member must comply promptly with any such requirement. However, a member could reduce its outstanding business with us as an alternative to purchasing stock.


We are required to maintain a ratio of total regulatory capital stock to total assets, measured on a daily average basis at month end, of at least two percent.

Our board of directors assesses the adequacy of our capital every quarter, prior to the declaration of our quarterly dividend, by reviewing various measures set forth in our capital policy.Capital Markets Policy. We developed our capital policyCapital Markets Policy based on guidance from the Finance Agency.


We must maintain sufficient permanent capital to meet the combined credit risk, market risk and operationsoperational risk components of the risk-based capital requirement.


Permanent capital is defined as the amount of our Class B stock (including MRCS) plus our retained earnings. We are required to maintain permanent capital at all times in an amount equal to our risk-based capital requirement, which includes the following components:


Credit risk
Credit risk, which represents the sum of our credit risk charges for all assets, off-balance sheet items and derivative contracts, calculated using the methodologies and risk weights assigned to each classification in the regulations;
Market risk, which represents the sum of the market value of our portfolio at risk from movements in interest rates, foreign exchange rates, commodity prices, and equity prices that could occur during periods of market stress, and the amount by which the market value of total capital is less than 85% of the book value of total capital; and
Operations risk, which represents 30% of the sum of our credit risk and market risk capital requirements.

Operational risk, which represents 30% of the sum of our credit risk and market risk capital requirements.

The increasedecrease in our total risk-based capital requirement was primarily caused by an increasea decrease in both the credit risk and market risk components. The increase in credit risk was mainly the result of longer maturities of our GSE debentures while the increase in market risk wascomponent due primarily to model updates incorporating LIBOR's cessation, changes in portfolio composition andthe market environment, including changes in interest rates, CO bond-swap basis, volatility, and option-adjusted spreads, and volatility, and an update of the vendor prepayment model used in market risk modeling.balance sheet composition. The operationsoperational risk component is calculated as 30% of the credit and market risk components. Our permanent capital components.at December 31, 2022 remained well in excess of our total risk-based capital requirement.


By regulation, the Finance Agency may mandate us to maintain a greater amount of permanent capital than is generally required by the risk-based capital requirements as defined, in order to promote safe and sound operations. In addition, a Finance Agency rule authorizes the Director to issue an order temporarily increasing the minimum capital level for an FHLBank if the Director determines that the current level is insufficient to address such FHLBank's risks. The rule sets forth several factors that the Director may consider in making this determination.


Under the Dodd-Frank Act, as implemented by the Finance Agency, each FHLBank is required to perform an annual stress test to assess the potential impact of various financial and economic conditions on capital adequacy. Our annual stress test was completed and published in November 2017, based on our financial condition as of December 31, 2016, using the methodology prescribed by the Finance Agency. Our stress test results demonstrated our capital adequacy under the severely adverse economic scenario defined by the Finance Agency.

The Finance Agency has established four capital classifications for the FHLBanks - adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized, and critically undercapitalized - and implemented the prompt corrective action provisions of HERA that apply to FHLBanks that are not deemed to be adequately capitalized.undercapitalized. The Finance Agency determines our capital classification on at least a quarterly basis. If we are determined to be other than adequately capitalized, we would become subject to additional supervisory authority by the Finance Agency. Before implementing a reclassification, the Finance Agency Director would be required to provide us with written notice of the proposed action and an opportunity to respond. The Finance Agency's most recent determination is that we hold sufficient capital to be adequately capitalized and meet both our minimum capital and risk-based capital requirements.

A standby letter of credit is a financing arrangement between us and one of our members for which we charge a fee. If we are required to make payment on a beneficiary's draw, the payment amount is converted into a collateralized advance to the member. The original terms of these standby letters of credit, including related commitments, range from 3 months to 20 years. Lines of credit allow members to fund short-term cash needs (up to one year) without submitting a new application for each request for funds.

Our MPP was designed to require loan servicers to foreclose and liquidate in the servicer's name rather than in our name. As the servicer progresses through the process from foreclosure to liquidation, we are paid in full for all unpaid principal and accrued interest on the loan through the normal remittance process and the servicer files a claim against the various credit enhancements for reimbursement of losses incurred. The claim is then reviewed and paid as appropriate under the various credit enhancement policies or guidelines. Subsequently, the servicer may submit claims to us for any remaining losses. At December 31, 2017, principal previously paid in full by our MPP servicers totaling $2 million remains subject to potential claims by those servicers for any losses resulting from past or future liquidations of the underlying properties. An estimate of the losses is included in the MPP allowance for loan losses.

Critical Accounting Policies and 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 reporting period.expenses. We review these estimates and assumptions based on historical experience, changes in business conditions and other relevant factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Changes in estimates and assumptions have the potential to significantly affect our financial position and results of operations. Inoperations and, in any given reporting period, our actual results may differ from the estimates and assumptions used in preparing our financial statements.


We determined that fourconsider two of our accounting policies and estimates areto be critical because they require management to make particularly difficult, subjective, and/or complex judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain and because of theresulting in an increased likelihood that materially different amounts could be reported under different conditions or when using different assumptions. These accounting policiesestimates pertain to:


Derivatives and hedging activities (see (for more information, see Notes to Financial Statements - Note 118 - Derivatives and Hedging Activitiesfor more detail));
and
Fair value estimates (see (for more information, see Notes to Financial Statements - Note 1916 - Estimated Fair Valuesfor more detail);
).
Provision for credit losses (see Notes to Financial Statements - Note 9 - Allowance for Credit Lossesfor more detail); and

OTTI (see Notes to Financial Statements - Note 6 - Other-Than-Temporary Impairmentfor more detail).

We believe the application of our accounting policies on a consistent basis enables us to provide financial statement users with useful, reliable and timely information about our results of operations, financial position and cash flows.

Accounting for Derivatives and Hedging Activities. All derivatives are recorded inon the statement of condition at their estimated fair values.values. Changes in the estimated fair value of our derivatives are recorded in current period earnings regardless of how changes in the estimated fair value of the assets or liabilities being hedged may be treated. Therefore,earnings. Therefore, even though derivatives are used to mitigate market risk, derivatives introduce the potential for earnings volatility. Specifically, a mismatch can exist between the timing of income and expense recognition from assets or liabilities and the income effects of derivative instruments positioned to mitigate the market risk associated with those assets or liabilities. Therefore, during periods of significant changes in interest rates and other market factors, our earnings may experience greater volatility.


Generally, we striveendeavor to use derivatives that effectively hedge specific assets or liabilities and qualify for fair-value hedge accounting. Fair-value hedge accounting allows forTo qualify, a hedging instrument must be expected to be "highly effective" in offsetting changes in the estimated fair value of the associated hedged item attributable to the hedged risk. A fair-value hedge relationship is considered highly effective only if certain specified criteria are met. In addition, at inception of a fair-value hedge relationship, we must formally document our risk management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge, including the identification of the hedging instrument, hedged item, nature of the risk being hedged, and the method being used to measure hedge ineffectiveness. In all cases involving a fair-value hedge of a recognized asset, liability or firm commitment, the designated risk being hedged is the risk of changes in the fair value of the hedged item attributable to changes in the designated benchmark interest rate.

For hedging relationships that qualify for hedge accounting and are designated as fair-value hedges, the change in the fair value of the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk in the hedged item to also beis recorded in current period earnings, thereby providing an offset to the change in fair value of the derivative. Any difference in the change in fair value of the derivative and the change in the fair value of the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk represents "hedge ineffectiveness". If a fair-value hedging relationship qualifies for the shortcut method of hedge accounting, the change in the fair value of the derivative is considered perfectly effective in offsetting the change in the fair value of the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk and, as a result, no ineffectiveness is recorded in earnings. To qualify for shortcut accounting treatment, a number of strict conditions must be met.


When applying the shortcut method, we document at hedge inception a quantitative method to assess hedge effectiveness if we would later determine its application was not or is no longer appropriate. By documenting a quantitative method at inception, the risk associated with inappropriately applying the shortcut method is reduced as the quantitative method can be applied, if certain qualifying criteria are met, without having to dedesignate the hedge relationship as of the date it was determined the hedge no longer qualified for the shortcut method.

Derivatives that are in fair-value hedging relationships but do not qualify for the shortcut method are accounted for using a long-haul method, either the total contractual coupon or benchmark component method. For more information on our long-haul methods and techniques, see Notes to Financial Statements - Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.

Table of Contents


If a long-haul hedge relationship fails the effectiveness test at inception, we do not apply hedge accounting. If a long-haul hedge relationship fails the effectiveness test during the life of the relationship (assessed monthly), we discontinue hedge accounting prospectively.

Although substantially all of our derivatives qualify for fair-value hedge accounting, we treat all derivatives that do not qualify for fair-value hedge accounting as economic hedges for asset/liability management purposes.

The changes infair values of our interest-rate related derivatives and hedged items are determined using standard valuation techniques such as discounted cash-flow analysis, which utilizes market estimates of interest rates and volatility, and comparisons to similar instruments. As such, the estimated fair valueuse of these economic hedges are recorded in other income (loss) as net gains (losses) on derivatives and hedging activities with no offsetting fair value adjustments for the hedged assets, liabilities, or firm commitments.

The use of estimates based on market prices to determine the derivative's estimated fair value can have a significant impact on current period earnings for all hedges, both thoseearnings. Although changes in fair-value hedging relationships and those in economic hedging relationships. Although this estimation and valuation processestimated fair value can cause earnings volatility during the periods the derivative instruments are held, the estimation and valuation process for hedges that qualify for fair-value hedge accounting, doessuch changes do not have any net long-term economic effect or result in any net cash flows if the derivative and the hedged item are held to maturity. Since these estimated fair values eventually return to zero (or par value) on the maturity date, the effect of such fluctuations throughout the hedge periodlife of the hedging relationship is usually only a timing issue.



As of December 31, 2022, the Bank’s derivatives portfolio included $50.0 billion (notional amount) that was accounted for using a long-haul method, substantially the total contractual coupon method, $16.1 billion (notional amount) that was accounted for using the shortcut method, and $6.8 billion (notional amount) that did not qualify for hedge accounting. By comparison, at December 31, 2021, the Bank’s derivatives portfolio included $37.6 billion (notional amount) that was accounted for using the long-haul method, $8.8 billion (notional amount) that was accounted for using the shortcut method, and $9.2 billion (notional amount) that did not qualify for hedge accounting.

Fair Value Estimates. We report certain assets and liabilities on the statement of condition at estimated fair value, including investments classified as trading and AFS, grantor trust assets, and all derivatives. "Fair value" is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset, or paid to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (i.e., an exit price).date. We are required to consider factors specific to the asset or liability, the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability, and the participants with whom we would transact in that market. In general, the transaction price will equal the exit price and, therefore, represents the fair value of the asset or liability at initial recognition.


Estimated fair values are based on quoted market prices or market-based prices, if such prices are available. If quoted market prices or market-based prices are not available, estimated fair values are determined based on valuation models that use either:
 
discounted cash flows, using market estimates of interest rates and volatility; or 
dealer prices on similar instruments.


For external pricingvaluation models, we review the vendors' pricingvaluation processes, methodologies, and control procedures for reasonableness. For internal pricingvaluation models, the underlying assumptions are based on management's best estimates for:
 
discount rates;
prepayments;
market volatility; and
other factors.


The assumptions used in both external and internal pricingvaluation models could have a significant effect on the reported fair values of assets and liabilities, including the related income and expense. The use of different assumptions, as well as changes in market conditions, could result in materially different values. We continue to refine our valuation methodologies as markets and products develop and the pricing for certain products becomes more or less transparent.


We categorize our financial instruments reported at estimated fair value into a three-level hierarchy. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency (observable or unobservable) of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect our market assumptions. Level 1 instruments are those for which inputs to the valuation methodology are observable and are derived from quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that we can access on the measurement date. Level 2 instruments are those for which inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly, and include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities. Finally, level 3 instruments are those for which inputs are unobservable or are unable to be corroborated by external market data.

To the extent possible, we use observable inputs in our valuation models. However, as certain markets continue to remain illiquid, we may utilize more unobservable inputs if they better reflect market values. With respect to our private-label RMBS, we concluded that, overall, the inputs used to determine fair value are unobservable (i.e., level 3). We have sufficient information to conclude that level 3 is appropriate based on our knowledge of the dislocation of the private-label RMBS market and the distribution of prices received from multiple third-party pricing services, which is generally wider than would be expected if observable inputs were used.

Provision for Credit Losses.

Mortgage Loans Acquired under the MPP. Our loan loss allowance policy requires management to determine if it is probable that impairment has occurred in the mortgage loan portfolio as of the statement of condition date and whether the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. Losses shall not be recognized before it is probable that they have been incurred, even though it may be probable based on past experience that losses will be incurred in the future. Probable impairment occurs when management determines, using current and historical information and events, that it is likely that not all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement will be collected by the Bank.

We have developed a systematic approach for reviewing the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. Using this methodology, we perform a review designed to identify probable impairment as well as determine a reasonable estimate of loss, if any. This review consists of a separate review of (i) performing conventional loans collectively evaluated for impairment, (ii) delinquent conventional loans collectively evaluated for impairment, and (iii) certain other conventional loans individually evaluated for impairment. FHA loans are government-guaranteed and, consequently, we have determined that no allowance for losses is necessary for such loans.

Table of Contents




For performing conventional loans current to 179 days past due and collectively evaluated for impairment, our analysis incorporates the use of a recognized third-party credit and prepayment model to estimate potential ranges of credit loss exposure. The loss projection is based upon distinct underlying loan characteristics, including loan vintage (year of origination), geographic location, credit support features and other factors, and a projected migration of loans through the various stages of delinquency.

For delinquent conventional loans past due 180 days or more and collectively evaluated for impairment, we evaluate the pools based on current and historical information and events.

Certain conventional mortgage loans that are impaired, primarily TDRs, are specifically identified for purposes of calculating the allowance for loan losses. The measurement of the allowance for individually evaluated loans considers loan-specific attribute data similar to loans evaluated on a collective basis.

Our allowance for loan losses also includes specifically identified probable claims by servicers for any remaining losses of principal on delinquent loans that were previously paid in full by the servicers, and thus no longer included in the UPB on the statement of condition. We individually evaluate the properties included in this balance and obtain HUD statements, sales listings or other evidence of current expected liquidation amounts.

Our allowance for loan losses also compares, or benchmarks, our estimated losses on conventional mortgage loans, after credit enhancements, to actual losses occurring in the portfolio. Further, the third-party credit and prepayment model serves as a secondary review of the allowance for loan losses determined using the systematic approach. The projected losses from the model have historically been lower than our estimate of loan losses under the systematic approach.

These estimates require significant judgments, especially considering the inability to readily determine the fair value of all underlying properties and the uncertainty in other macroeconomic factors that make estimating defaults and severity imprecise. Because of variability in the data underlying the assumptions made in the process of determining the allowance for loan losses, estimates of the portfolio's inherent risks will change as warranted by changes in the economy. The degree to which any particular change would affect the allowance for loan losses would depend on the severity of the change.

We considered an adverse scenario whereby we used a haircut on our underlying collateral values of 20% for delinquent conventional loans, including individually evaluated loans. We consider such a haircut to represent the most distressed scenario that is reasonably possible to occur over the loss emergence period of 24 months. In this distressed scenario, while holding all other assumptions constant, our estimated incurred losses remaining after borrowers' equity, but before credit enhancements, would increase by approximately $3.1 million. However, such increase would be substantially offset by credit enhancements. Therefore, the allowance for loan losses continues to be based upon our best estimate of the probable losses over the loss emergence period that would not be recovered from the credit enhancements.

Other-Than-Temporary Impairment. We evaluate our AFS and HTM investment securities on a quarterly basis to determine if any unrealized losses are other-than-temporary. Our evaluation is based in part on the creditworthiness of the issuers, and in part on the security's underlying collateral and expected cash flows. An OTTI has occurred if our cash flow analysis determines that a credit loss exists, i.e., the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected is less than the security’s amortized cost, irrespective of whether management will be required to sell such security.

The following table presents the significant modeling assumptions used to determine whether any of our private-label RMBS and ABS was OTTI during the year ended December 31, 2017, as well as the related current credit enhancement ($ amounts in millions).

Weighted average based on UPB.
(2)
The classification (prime, Alt-A or subprime) is based on the model used to project the cash flows for the security, which may not be the same as the rating agency's classification at the time of origination.
(3)
Credit enhancement is defined as the percentage of subordinated tranches, excess spread, and over-collateralization, if any, in a security structure that will generally absorb losses before we will experience a loss on the security. A credit enhancement percentage of zero reflects a security that has no remaining credit support and is likely to have experienced an actual principal loss.
(4)
Modeling assumptions assume no payout from monoline bond insurers.

In addition to evaluating our private-label RMBS under a best estimate scenario, we perform a cash flow analysis for each of these securities under a more stressful housing price scenario. This more stressful scenario is primarily based on a short-term housing price forecast that is 5% lower than the best estimate scenario, followed by a recovery path with annual rates of housing price growth that are 33% lower than the best estimate.

The actual OTTI-related credit losses recognized in earnings for the three months ended December 31, 2017 totaled $0. Under the more stressful scenario, the estimated OTTI-related credit losses for the same period totaled $0. The adverse scenario and associated results do not represent our current expectations and, therefore, should not be construed as a prediction of our future results, market conditions or the performance of these securities. Rather, the results from this hypothetical adverse scenario provide a measure of the credit losses that we might incur if home price declines (and subsequent recoveries) are more adverse than those projected in our OTTI evaluation.

Additional information regarding OTTI of our private-label RMBS and ABS is provided in Notes to Financial Statements - Note 6 - Other-Than-Temporary Impairment herein.

Legislative and Regulatory Developments.The following is a summary of significant regulatory actions and developments for the period covered by this report.


Finance Agency Proposed SEC Rule on Capital Requirements.Climate-Related Disclosures. On July 3, 2017,March 21, 2022, the Finance Agency publishedSEC proposed a proposednew rule that would require us to adopt, with amendments, the Finance Board regulations pertaining to the capital requirements for the FHLBanks.make specific climate-related disclosures in our periodic reports. The proposed rule would carry over mostrequire us to account for and disclose certain direct, indirect and third-party greenhouse gas emissions, provide additional disclosures of material impact of climate-change risks on our strategy, business model and outlook, disclose climate-event impacts, discuss board and management governance and oversight of climate-related risks, climate-change risk management framework considering both physical and transitional risks, and plans to reduce such risks, and provide and discuss climate-related financial impact metrics and expenditure metrics. We are unable to predict when a rule will be finalized and the extent to which a final rule will apply or deviate from the proposal. Should the rule become final in its current form, we anticipate a significant increase in our compliance costs given the complexity of these prospective obligations.

Finance Agency’s Review and Analysis 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 and derivative exposure. The main revisions would remove requirements that the FHLBanks calculate credit-risk capital charges and unsecured credit limits based on ratings issued by an NRSRO, and instead would require that the FHLBanks establish and use their own internal rating methodology. With respect to derivatives, the proposed rule would impose a new capital charge for cleared derivatives, which under the existing rule do not carry a capital charge, and would change the way that the capital charge and risk limits are calculated for uncleared derivatives, in both cases to align with the Dodd-Frank Act’s clearing mandate and derivatives reforms. 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. TheFederal Home Loan Bank System. On July 20, 2022, Finance Agency proposesDirector Sandra L. Thompson provided testimony to retain for now the percentages used in the tables to calculate capital charges for mortgage-related assets, and to address at a later date the methodology for residential mortgage assets. While a March 2009 regulatory directive pertaining to certain liquidity matters would remain in place,U.S. House Committee on Financial Services, indicating that the Finance Agency also proposes to rescind certain minimum regulatory liquidity requirementswould conduct a review and address these liquidity requirements in a new regulatory directive.

We submitted a joint comment letter withanalysis of the other FHLBanks on August 31, 2017. We continue to evaluate the proposed ruleFHLBank System. As part of its review and to evaluate the process of converting from the current rule on capital requirements to a new final rule. At this time, we do not expect this rule, if adopted as proposed, to materially affect our financial condition or results of operations. However, we expect that any final rule could require us to make changes to our systems, which could carry operational and other risks.

Information Security Management Advisory Bulletin. On September 28, 2017,analysis, the Finance Agency issued Advisory Bulletin 2017-02, which supersedes previous guidance on an FHLBank’s information security program.has held a series of public listening sessions and regional roundtable discussions, and has requested written comments from stakeholders. The advisory bulletin describes three main componentsreview has been examining matters covering such areas as the FHLBanks’ adequate fulfillment of an information security programtheir mission and reflectspurpose in a changing marketplace; their organization, operational efficiency and effectiveness; their role in promoting affordable, sustainable, equitable, and resilient housing and community investment; their role in addressing the expectationunique needs of rural and financially vulnerable communities; member products, services, and collateral requirements; and membership eligibility and requirements. We anticipate that each FHLBankthe Finance Agency’s review and analysis will useculminate in a risk-based approach to implement its information security program.written report. The advisory bulletin contains expectationsreport may involve recommendations for changes related to (i) governance, includinga number of areas such as the FHLBanks’ fulfillment of their mission, membership requirements, contributions to affordable housing and support to community investment and may lead to recommendations for statutory revisions, proposals for new or modified regulations, regulatory guidance relatedunder existing regulations, and/or other regulatory or supervisory actions consistent with the Finance Agency’s statutory authority.

Federal Reserve Bank Term Funding Program. Effective March 12, 2023, the Federal Reserve implemented a bank term funding program, which offers loans for a term of up to rolesone year to eligible borrowers, secured by eligible collateral owned as of March 12, 2023. Eligible borrowers include any federally-insured depository institution or U.S. branch or agency of a foreign bank that is eligible for primary credit with the Federal Reserve. Eligible collateral is any collateral eligible for purchase by the FOMC, which includes U.S. Treasury obligations, agency debt and responsibilities, risk assessments, industry standards,MBS, among other assets. Eligible collateral will be valued at par, and cyber-insurance; (ii) engineering and architecture, including guidanceloans will be made at a fixed rate equal to the one-year overnight index swap rate plus 10 basis points. Loans can be requested under the program until at least March 11, 2024. The program is backstopped by the U.S. Department of Treasury, which will provide up to $25 billion in credit protection to the Federal Reserve in connection with the program. While it is difficult to predict the impact of this new program 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 business, financial condition orand results of operations but we anticipate that it may result in increased costs relatingat this time, the program is likely to enhancements toprovide an alternative funding source for our information security program.

FRB, FDICmembers and OCC Final Rules on Mandatory Contractual Stay Requirementscould reduce their demand for Qualified Financial Contracts ("QFCs").On September 12, 2017,advances during the FRB published a final rule, effective November 13, 2017, requiring certain global systemically important banking institutions ("GSIB") regulated by the FRB to amend their covered QFCs to limit a counterparty’s immediate termination or exercise of default rights under the QFCs in the event of bankruptcy or receivershipterm of the GSIB or an affiliateprogram.

Amendment to Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA") Rule 4210: Margining of Covered Agency Transactions. On February 24, 2023, FINRA filed a proposed rule change with the SEC, with immediate effect, further extending the implementation date from April 24, 2023 to October 25, 2023 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, and Novembermargining requirements set by FINRA Rule 4210 dated July 29, 2017,2022, for covered agency transactions. Once the FDIC and OCC respectively adopted final rules thatmargining requirements are both substantively identical to the FRB rule, both effective, January 1, 2018, with respect to QFCs entered into with certain FDIC- and OCC-supervised institutions.

These rules may impactcollateralization requirements could have the effect of reducing the overall profitability of engaging in covered agency transactions, including TBAs. Further, the collateralization requirements could expose us to credit risk from 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. However, we do not expect these final rules to materially affect our financial condition or results of operations.counterparties for such transactions.

OCC, FRB, FDIC, Farm Credit Administration, and Finance Agency ProposedFinal Rule on Margin and Capital Requirements for Covered Swap EntitiesImplementing the Adjustable Interest Rate (LIBOR) Act. On February 21, 2018, OCC, FRB, FDIC, Farm Credit Administration, andDecember 16, 2022, the Finance Agency publishedFederal Reserve Board of Governors adopted a joint proposed amendment to each agency’s final rule that implements the Adjustable Interest Rate (LIBOR) Act, enacted in March 2022. The rule, which went into effect on Margin and Capital RequirementsFebruary 27, 2023, establishes benchmark replacement rates based on SOFR for Covered Swap Entities ("Swap Margin Rules")certain contracts, to conformapply following the definitionfirst London banking day after June 30, 2023 (the "LIBOR replacement date"). Generally, the rule provides that Federal Reserve Board-selected benchmark replacements will apply by operation of "eligible master netting agreement" in such ruleslaw to contracts governed by U.S. law which have the following characteristics: (a) contain no fallback provisions; (b) contain fallback provisions but fail to specify either the fallback rate or the party that can determine the fallback rate; or (c) contain a fallback provision that identifies the party that can determine the fallback rate, but the determining party has failed to do so before (i) the LIBOR replacement date or (ii) the latest date to select a benchmark replacement according to the FRB’s, OCC’s,contract terms. For advances that have any of the above characteristics, the final rule sets the replacement benchmark rate as the Fallback Rate (SOFR) in the International Swaps and FDIC’s final QFC rules,Derivatives Association 2020 IBOR Fallbacks Protocol. For any other FHLBank contract with the above characteristics, references to overnight LIBOR would be replaced with SOFR and to clarify that a legacy swapone-, three-, six, or 12-month LIBOR will not be deemed to be a covered swap underreplaced with 30-day Average SOFR, in each case plus the Swap Margin Rules if it is amended to conform toapplicable tenor spread adjustment specified in the QFC Rules.Adjustable Interest Rate (LIBOR) Act.


Comments on the proposed rule are due by April 23, 2018. We continue to monitor these developments as they evolve and to evaluate the proposed rule, but we do not expect this rule, if adopted substantially as proposed, to materially affect our financial condition or resultstheir potential impact on us.

Risk Management


We have exposure to a number of risks in pursuing our business objectives. These risks may be broadly classified as market, credit, liquidity, operational, and business. Market risk is discussed in detail in Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.


Active risk management is an integral part of our operations because these risks are an inherent part of our business activities. We manage these risks by, among other actions, setting and enforcing appropriate limits and developing and maintaining internal policies and processes to ensure an appropriate risk profile. In order to enhance our ability to manage Bank-wide risk, our enterprise risk management function is alignedstructured to segregate risk measurement, monitoring, and evaluation from our business units where risk-taking occurs through financial transactions and positions.


The Finance Agency establishesEffective risk management programs include not only conformance of specific risk management practices to certain risk-related compliance requirements. In addition,requirements established by the Finance Agency, but also the active involvement of our board of directors. Our board of directors has established a Risk Appetite Statement that summarizes the amounts, levels and types of enterprise-wide risk that our management is authorized to undertake in pursuit of achieving our mission and executing our strategic plans. The Risk Appetite Statement incorporatesincludes high level qualitative and quantitative risk limits and tolerances fromtolerances.

Our board of directors has also established a Risk Oversight Committee that provides focus, direction and accountability for our risk management process. Further, our Enterprise Risk Management Policy which serves as a key policy to address our exposures to market, credit, liquidity, operational and business risks, and various other key risk-related policies approved by our board of directors including the Operational Risk Management Policy, the Model Risk Management Policy, the Credit Policy, the Capital Markets Policy, and the Enterprise Information Security Policy.

Effectiveaddress operational risk management, programs include not only conformance of specificmodel risk management, practices to the Enterprisecredit, capital markets, and enterprise information security.

Our internal Risk Management Policy and other key risk-related policy requirements, but also the active involvement of our board of directors. Our board of directors has established a Risk Oversight Committee that provides focus, direction and accountability for our risk management process. Further, pursuant to the Enterprise Risk Management Policy, the following internal management committees focusfocuses exclusively on risk management, among other duties:as it:


Executive Management Committee
Facilitates planning, coordination and communication among our operating divisions and the other committees;
Focuses on leadership, teamwork and our resources to best serve organizational priorities; and
Generally oversees the following committees' activities.identification, monitoring, measurement, evaluation and reporting of risks;
Member Services Committee
Focuses on new and existing member services and products and oversees the effectiveness of the risk mitigation framework for member services and products; and
Promotespromotes cross-functional communication and exchange of ideas pertaining to member products offered to achieve financialoversight of our risk profile in accordance with guidelines and objectives established by theour board of directors and senior management while remaining within prescribed risk parameters.management; and
Capital Markets Committee
Focuses onoversees the Bank's investment and funding activities as they relate to financial performance, risk profile andactions of the Bank's strategic direction; and

Strategy Risk Management Committee
Provides strategic direction in the management of key risk exposures and risk policies, and adjudicates strategic risk issues as they arise (credit, market, liquidity, advance lending, AMA, investment portfolio, treasury, operations, regulatory and reputation); and
Identifies and understands current and emerging risks and opportunities - makescourse corrections as circumstances and events dictate.


Each of theour other internal management committees is responsible for overseeing its respective business activities in accordance with specified policies, in addition to ongoing consideration of pertinent risk-related issues.


Broadly, our enterprise risk management team leads the implementation of our enterprise risk management program and assists the board of directors by establishing, monitoring, and maintaining the program and seeking amendments and approvals of the risk management policies from time to time. Our Enterprise Risk Management Policy specifies that breaches of material risk limits from the risk management policies and program policies will be reported to the board of directors or a designated committee of the board, which committee is typically the board's Risk Oversight Committee.

Our chief risk officer leads our enterprise risk management team, reports directly to our chief executive officer and provides reports directly to the board of directors or the Risk Oversight Committee. Our Enterprise Risk Management Policy specifies that the chief risk officer:

is independent while remaining a part of the management team;
has unfettered access to the board of directors, including the Risk Oversight Committee, and senior management on key risk issues; and
is empowered to obtain information deemed necessary to fulfill the responsibilities of the role.

We have a formal process for the assessment of Bank-wide risk and risk-related issues. Our risk assessment process is designed to identify and evaluate material risks, including both quantitative and qualitative aspects, which could adversely affect achievement of our financial performance objectives and compliance with applicable requirements. Business unit managers play a significant role in this process, as they are best positioned to understandidentify and identifyunderstand the risks inherent in their respective operations. These assessments evaluate the inherent risks within each of the key processes as well as the controls and strategies in place to manage those risks, identify primary weaknesses, and recommend actions that should be undertaken to address the identified weaknesses. The results of these assessments are summarized in an annual risk assessment report, which is reviewed by senior management and our board of directors. 




Credit Risk Management. Credit risk is the risk that members or other counterparties may be unable to meet their contractual obligations to us, or that the values of those obligations will decline as a result of deterioration in the members' or other counterparties' creditworthiness. Credit risk arises when our funds are extended, committed, invested or otherwise exposed through actual or implied contractual agreements.to risk of non-repayment. We face credit risk on advances and other credit products, investments, mortgage loans, derivative financial instruments, and AHP grants. 


The most important step in the management of credit risk is the initial decision to extend credit. We also manage credit risk by following established policies, evaluating the creditworthiness of our members and counterparties, and utilizing collateral agreements and settlement netting. Periodic monitoring of members and other counterparties is performed whenever we are exposed to credit risk.
Advances and Other Credit Products.We manage our exposure to credit risk on advances primarily through a combination of our security interests in assets pledged by our borrowers and ongoing reviews of our borrowers' financial strength. Credit analyses are performed on existing borrowers, with the frequency and scope determined by the financial strength of the borrower and/or the amount of our credit products outstanding to that borrower. We establish limits and other requirements for advances and other credit products.


Section 10(a) of the Bank Act prohibits us from making an advance without sufficient collateral to fully secure the advance. Security is provided via thorough underwriting and establishing a perfectedperfecting our position in eligible assets pledged by the borrower as collateral before an advance is made by filing Uniform Commercial Code financing statements in the appropriate jurisdictions.made. Each member's collateral reporting requirement is based on its collateral status, which reflects its financial condition and type of institution, and our review of conflicting liens, with our level of control over the collateral increasing when a borrower'smember's financial performance deteriorates. We continually evaluate the quality and value of collateral pledged to support advances and work with members to improve the accuracy of valuations.


As ofAt December 31, 2017 and 2016, advances to our insurance company members represented 45% and 53%, respectively, of our total advances, at par. We believe that2022, advances outstanding to our insurance company members and the relative percentage represented 36% of theirour total advances outstanding, at par. The significant level of advances to the total could increase, based uponinsurance company members reflect the significant portion of total financial assets held by insurance companies in our district. Although insuranceInsurance companies represent significant growth opportunities for our credit products, they have different risk characteristics than our depository members. Some of the ways we mitigate this risk include requiring insurance companies to deliver collateral to us or our custodian and using industry-specific underwriting approaches as part of our ongoing evaluation of our insurance company members' financial strength.


A captive insurance company insures risks of its parent, affiliated companies and/or other entities under common control. We generally require captive insurance company members to, among other requirements: (i) pledge the collateral free of other encumbrances, (ii) collateralize all obligations to us, including prepayment fees, accrued interest and any outstanding AHP or MPP obligations, (iii) obtain our prior approval before pledging whole loan collateral, and (iv) provide annual audit reports of the member entity and its ultimate parent, as well as quarterly unaudited financial statements.

Borrowing Limits. Generally, we maintain a credit productsproducts borrowing limit of 50%40% of a depository member's adjusted assets, defined as total assets less borrowings from all sources.assets. As of December 31, 2017,2022, we had no advances outstanding to a depository member whose total credit products exceeded 50%40% of its adjustedtotal assets.


On March 18, 2016, our board of directors modified the initialThe borrowing limit for our insurance company members (excluding captive insurance companies) tois 25% of their total general account assets less money borrowed. Creditassets. As of December 31, 2022, we had no advances outstanding to an insurance company member whose total credit products exceeded 25% of their general account assets.

The credit products borrowing limit for our non-depository CDFI members is 25% of their total restricted assets. As of December 31, 2022, we had no advances outstanding to a non-depository CDFI member whose total credit products exceeded 25% of their total unrestricted assets.

Any credit extensions to insurance company membersa member whose total credit products exceed thisthe applicable threshold require an additional approval by our Bank as provided in our credit policy. The approval is based upon a number of factors that may include the member's financial condition,condition, collateral quality, business plan and earnings stability. We also monitor these members more closely on an ongoing basis. As of December 31, 2017, we had advances outstanding, at par, of $325 million to one of our insurance company members whose total credit products exceeded 25% of their general account assets, net of money borrowed.

Effective February 19, 2016, new or renewed credit extensions to captive insurance companies that became members prior to September 12, 2014 are subject to certain restrictions relating to maturity dates and cannot exceed 40% of the member's total assets. As of December 31, 2017, one such captive insurance company member's total credit products exceeded the percentage limit. Therefore, no new or renewed credit extensions have been extended to this member. We may impose additional restrictions on extensions of credit to our members including captive insurance companies, at our discretion.

Concentration. Our credit risk is magnified due to the concentration of advances in a few borrowers. As of December 31, 2017,2022, our top borrower held 17%12% of total advances outstanding, at par, and our top five borrowers held 45%41% of total advances outstanding, at par. As a resultThe following tables present the par value of advances outstanding to our largest borrowers ($ amounts in millions).
December 31, 2022
BorrowerAmount% of Total
Flagstar Bank, FSB$4,550 12 %
Old National Bank3,850 10 %

Next five largest borrowers5,906 16 %
Others16,199 43 %
Total advances, par value$37,291 100 %

Because of this concentration in advances, we perform frequent credit and collateral reviews on our largest borrowers. In addition, we regularly analyze the implications to our financial management and profitability if we were to lose the business of one or more of these borrowers.

At our discretion, and provided the borrower meets our contractual requirements, advances to borrowers that are no longer members may remain outstanding until maturity, subject to certain regulatory requirements.

For the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, we did not have gross interest income on advances, excluding the effects of interest-rate swaps, from any one borrower that exceeded 10% of our total interest income.
 
Collateral Requirements. We generally require all borrowers to execute a security agreement that grants us a blanket lien on substantially all assets of the member. Our agreements with borrowers require each borrowing entity to fully secure all outstanding extensions of credit at all times, including advances, accrued interest receivable, standby letters of credit, correspondent services, certain AHP transactions, and all indebtedness, liabilities or obligations arising or incurred as a result of a member transacting business with our Bank.us. We may also require a member to pledge additional collateral to cover exposure resulting from any applicable prepayment fees on advances.


The assets that constitute eligible collateral to secure extensions of credit are set forth in Section 10(a) of the Bank Act. In accordance with the Bank Act, we accept the following assets as collateral:


fully disbursed, whole first mortgages on improved residential property, or securities representing a whole interest in such mortgages;
securities issued, insured, or guaranteed by the United States government or any agencyAgency thereof (including, without limitation, MBS issued or guaranteed by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, or Ginnie Mae);
cash or deposits in an FHLBank; and
ORERCother real estate-related collateral acceptable to us if such collateral has a readily ascertainable value and we can perfect our interest in the collateral.


Additionally, for any CFI, as defined in accordance with the Bank Act, we may also accept secured loans for small business, agricultural and community development activities.

In addition to our internal credit risk management policies and procedures, Section 10(e) of the Bank Act affords priority of any security interest granted to us, by a member or such member's affiliate, over the claims or rights of any other party, including any receiver, conservator, trustee, or similar entity that has the rights of a lien creditor, except for claims held by bona fide purchasers for value or by parties that are secured by prior perfected security interests, provided that such claims would otherwise be entitled to priority under applicable law. Moreover, with respect to federally-insured depository institution borrowers, our claims are given certain preferences pursuant to the receivership provisions of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act. With respect to insurance company members, however, Congress provided in the McCarran-Ferguson Act of 1945 that state law generally governs the regulation of insurance and shall not be preempted by federal law unless the federal law expressly regulates the business of insurance. Thus, if a court were to determine that the priority provision of Section 10(e) of the Bank Act conflicts with state insurance law applicable to our insurance company members, the court might then determine that the priority of our security interest would be governed by state law, not Section 10(e). Under these circumstances, the "super lien" priority protection afforded to our security interest under Section 10(e) may not fully apply when we lend to such insurance company members.However, we monitor applicable states' laws, and our security interests in collateral posted by insurance company members have express statutory protections in the jurisdictions where our members are domiciled. In addition, we take all necessary action under applicable state law to obtain and maintain a prior perfected security interest in the collateral, including by taking possession or control of the collateral as appropriate.


Collateral Status. When an institution becomes a member, of our Bank, we assign the member to a collateral status after the initial underwriting review. The assignment of a member to a collateral status category reflects, in part, our philosophy of increasing our level of control over the collateral pledged by the member, when warranted, based on our underwriting conclusions and a review of our lien priority. Some members pledge and report collateral under a blanket lien established through the security agreement, while others are placed on specific listings or possession status or a combination of the three via a hybrid status. We take possession of all collateral posted by insurance companies to further ensure our position as a first-priority secured creditor. MembersA depository institution member may elect a more restrictive collateral status to receive a higher lendable value for their collateral.


The primary features of these three collateral status categories are:


Blanket:


only certain financially sound depository institutions are eligible;
institutions that have granted a blanket lien to another creditor are ineligible;may be eligible if an inter-creditor or subordination agreement is executed;
review and approval by credit servicesunderwriting and collateral operations management is required;
member retains possession of eligible whole loan collateral pledged to us;
member executes a written security agreement and agrees to hold such collateral for our benefit; and
member provides periodic reports of all eligible collateral.


Specific Listings:


applicable to depository institutions that demonstrate potential weakness in their financial condition or seek lower over-collateralization requirements;
may be available to institutions that have granted a blanket lien to another creditor if an inter-creditor or subordination agreement is executed;
member retains possession of eligible whole loan collateral pledged to us;
member executes a written security agreement and agrees to hold such collateral for our benefit; and
member provides loan level detail on the pledged collateral on at least a monthly basis.


Possession:


applicable to all insurance companies, non-depository CDFI's, Housing Associates, and those depository institutions demonstrating less financial strength than those approved for specific listings;
required for all de novo institutions and institutions that have granted a blanket lien to another creditor but have not executed an inter-creditor or subordination agreement;
safekeeping for securities pledged as collateral can be with us or a third-party custodian that we have pre-approved;
original notes and other documents related to whole loans pledged as collateral are held with a third-party custodian that we have pre-approved;
member executes a written security agreement; and
member provides loan level detail on the pledged collateral on at least a monthly basis.

Collateral Valuation. In order to mitigate the market, credit, liquidity, operational and business risk associated with collateral, we apply an over-collateralization requirement to the book value or market value of pledged collateral to establish its lendable value. Collateral that we have determined to contain a low level of risk, such as United States government obligations, is over-collateralized at a lower rate than collateral that carries a higher level of risk, such as small business loans. The over-collateralization requirement applied to asset classes may vary depending on collateral status, sincebecause lower requirements are applied as our levels of information and control over the assets increase.


We have made changes to, and continue to update, our internal valuation model to gain greater consistency between model-generated valuations and observed market prices, resulting in adjustments to lendable values on whole loan collateral.

Collateral Review and Monitoring. Our agreements with borrowers allow us, at any time and in our sole discretion, to require substitution of collateral, adjust the over-collateralization requirements applied to collateral, or refuse to make extensions of credit against any collateral, require substitution of collateral, or adjust the over-collateralization requirements applied to collateral. We also may require borrowers to pledge additional collateral regardless of whether the collateral would be eligible to originate a new extension of credit. Our agreements with our borrowers also afford us the right, in our sole discretion, to declare any borrower to be in default if we deem ourthe Bank to be inadequately secured.


Credit servicesUnderwriting and collateral operations management continually monitors members' collateral status and may require a member to change its collateral status based upon deteriorating financial performance, results of on-site collateral verification reviews, or a high level of borrowings as a percentage of its assets. The blanket lien created by the security agreement remains in place regardless of a member's collateral status.


The Bank conductsWe conduct regular on-sitecollateral verification reviews of loan collateral pledged by members to confirm the existence of the pledged collateral, confirm that the collateral conforms to our eligibility requirements, and score the collateral for concentration and credit risk. Based on the results of such on-sitecollateral verification reviews, a member may have its over-collateralization requirements adjusted, limitations may be placed on the amount of certain asset types accepted as collateral or, in some cases, the member may be changed to a more stringent collateral status. We may conduct a review of any borrower's collateral at any time.


Credit Review and Monitoring. We monitor the financial condition of all member and non-member borrowers by reviewing certain available financial data, such as regulatory call reports filed by depository institution borrowers, regulatory financial statements filed with the appropriate state insurance department by insurance company borrowers, SEC filings, and rating agency reports, to ensure that potentially troubled institutions are identified as soon as possible. In addition, we have the ability to obtain borrowers' regulatory examination reports and, when appropriate, may contact borrowers' management teams to discuss performance and business strategies. We analyze this information on a regular basis and use it to determine the appropriate collateral status for a borrower.our borrowers.

We monitor counterparty creditworthiness, ratings, performance, and capital adequacy in an effort to mitigate unsecured credit risk on the short-term investments, with an emphasis on the potential impacts of changes in global economic conditions. As a result, we may limit or suspend exposure to certain counterparties.


Finance Agency regulations include limits on the amount of unsecured credit we may extend to a private counterparty or to a group of affiliated counterparties. This limit isThese regulations require, among other things, that we calculate credit risk capital charges and unsecured credit limits based on a percentage of eligible regulatory capital and the counterparty's long-term NRSRO credit rating. Under these regulations, (i) the level of eligible regulatory capital is determined as the lesser of our total regulatory capital or the eligible amount of regulatory capital of the counterparty; (ii) the eligible amount of regulatory capital is then multiplied by a stated percentage; and (iii) the percentage that we may offer for term extensions of unsecured credit ranges from 1% to 15% based on the counterparty's NRSRO credit rating. The calculation of term extensions of unsecured credit includes on-balance sheet transactions, off-balance sheet commitments and derivative transactions.own internal rating methodology.

Additionally, we are prohibited by Finance Agency regulation from investing in financial instruments issued by non-United States entities other than those issued by United States branches and agency offices of foreign commercial banks. Our unsecured credit exposures to United States branches and agency offices of foreign commercial banks include the risk that, as a result of political or economic conditions in a country, the counterparty may be unable to meet its contractual repayment obligations.obligations. During the year ended December 31, 2017,2022, our unsecured investment credit exposure to United States branches and agency offices of foreign commercial banks was limited to federal funds sold. Our unsecured credit exposures to domestic counterparties and United States subsidiaries of foreign commercial banks include the risk that these counterparties have extended credit to foreign counterparties.

Long-Term InvestmentsOther Investment Securities. Our long-term investments include MBS guaranteed by the housing GSEs (Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac), other U.S. obligations - guaranteed MBS (Ginnie Mae), and debentures issued by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, the TVA and the Federal Farm Credit Banks.


Our long-term investments also include private-label RMBS and ABS, which are directly or indirectly secured by underlying mortgage loans. Investments in private-label RMBS and ABS may be purchased as long as the investments are rated with an S&P equivalent rating of AAA at the time of purchase. However, we are subject to credit risk on these investments. To mitigate that risk, each of the private-label RMBS and ABS contains one or more of the following forms of credit protection:

Subordination - represents the structure of classes of the security, where subordinated classes absorb any credit losses before senior classes;
Excess spread - the average coupon rate of the underlying mortgage loans in the pool is higher than the coupon rate on the MBS and the spread differential may be used to offset any losses that may be realized;
Over-collateralization - the total outstanding balance of the underlying mortgage loans in the pool is greater than the outstanding MBS balance and the excess collateral is available to offset any losses that may be realized; and
Insurance wrap - a third-party bond insurance company guarantees timely payment of principal and interest to certain classes of the security.

Our private-label RMBS and ABS are backed by collateral located only in the United States and the District of Columbia. The top five states, by percentage of collateral located in those states as of December 31, 2017, were California (65%), New York (7%), Florida (4%), Connecticut (3%), and Virginia (2%).

A Finance Agency regulation provides that the total amount of our investments in MBS and ABS, calculated using amortized historical cost, must not exceed 300% of our total regulatory capital, as of the day we purchase the securities, based on the capital amount most recently reported to the Finance Agency. These investments totaled 288% of total regulatory capital at December 31, 2017. Generally, our goal is to maintain these investments in MBS near the 300% regulatory limit in order to enhance earnings and capital for our members and diversify our revenue stream. At December 31, 2022, these investments totaled 292% of total regulatory capital.

Private-label RMBS and ABS. Private-label RMBS and ABS(1)    Although the counterparty is unrated, the underlying collateral supporting these investments are classified as prime, Alt-A or subprime based on the originator's classification at the time of origination or based on classification by an NRSRO upon issuance. Because there is no universally accepted definition of prime, Alt-A or subprime underwriting standards, such classifications are subjective. All private-label RMBS and ABS were ratedU.S. Treasury obligations with an S&P equivalenta rating of AAA at the date of purchase.

Mortgage Loans Held for Portfolio.

MPP. We are exposed to credit risk on the loans purchased from our PFIs through the MPP. Each loan we purchase must meet the guidelines for our MPP or be specifically approved as an exception based on compensating factors. For example, the maximum LTV ratio for any conventional mortgage loan purchased is 95%, and the borrowers must meet certain minimum credit scores depending upon the type of loan or property.
 
Credit Enhancements.Credit enhancements for conventional loans include (in order of priority):


PMI (when applicable);
LRA; and
SMI (as applicable) purchased by the seller from a third-party provider naming us as the beneficiary.

PMI.For a conventional loan, PMI, if applicable, covers losses or exposure down to approximately an LTV ratio between 65%65% and 80% based upon the original appraisal, original LTV ratio, term, and amount of PMI coverage. As of December 31, 2017,2022, we had PMI coverage on $1.6 billion$781 million or 17%11% of our conventional MPP mortgage loans, which included coverage of $1.2$0.6 million on seriously delinquent loans, i.e., 90 days or more past due or in the process of foreclosure, of $1.9 million.
of $3.9 million.

LRA. We use either a "spread LRA" or a "fixed LRA" for credit enhancement. The spread LRA was used in combination with SMI for credit enhancement of conventional mortgage loans purchased under our original MPP, and the fixed LRA is used for credit enhancement of conventional mortgage loans purchased under MPP Advantage.Advantage MPP. At this time, substantially all of the additions are from Advantage MPP, Advantage, and substantially all of the claims paid and distributions are from the original MPP.

SMI. Losses that exceed available LRA funds are covered by SMI (for original MPP loans) up to a severity of approximately 50% of the original property value of the loan, depending on the SMI contract terms. We absorb any losses in excess of available LRA funds and SMI.


Our current SMI providers are Mortgage Guaranty Insurance Corporation and Enact Mortgage Insurance (formerly known as Genworth Mortgage Insurance Corporation.Corporation). For pools of loans acquired under the original MPP, we entered into the insurance contracts directly with the SMI providers, including a contract for each pool or aggregate pool. Pursuant to Finance Agency regulation, the PFI must be responsible for all expected creditlosses on the mortgages sold to us. Therefore, the PFI was the purchaser of the SMI policy, and we are designated as the beneficiary. The premiums are the PFI's obligation. As an administrative convenience, we collect the SMI premiums from the monthly mortgage remittances received from the PFIs or their designated servicer and remit them to the SMI provider.

Credit Risk Exposure to SMI Providers.As of December 31, 2017,2022, we were the beneficiary of SMI coverage, under our original MPP, on conventional mortgage pools with a total UPB of $851$237 million.

The lowest credit rating from S&P and Moody's stated in terms of the S&P equivalent, for each of our SMI companies is BBB+ for Mortgage Guaranty Insurance Corporation and BBB for Enact Mortgage Insurance. We evaluate the recoverability related to PMI and SMI for mortgage loans that we hold, including insurance companies placed under enhanced supervision of state regulators. We also evaluate the recoverability of outstanding receivables from our PMI and SMI providers related to outstanding and unpaid claims.

See Notes to Financial Statements - Note 9 - Allowance for Credit Losses for our estimates of recovery associated with the expected amount of our claims for all providers of these policies in determining our allowance for loan losses.

MPF Program. Credit risk arising from AMA activities under our participation in mortgage loans originated under the MPF Program falls into three categories: (i) the risk of credit losses arising from our FLA and last loss positions; (ii) the risk that a PFI will not perform as promised with respect to its loss position provided through its CE Obligations on mortgage loan pools; and (iii) the risk that a third-party insurer (obligated under PMI arrangements) will fail to perform as expected. Should a PMI third-party insurer fail to perform, our credit risk exposure would increase because our FLA is the next layer to absorb credit losses on mortgage loan pools.

Credit Enhancements. Our management of credit risk in the MPF Program considers the several layers of loss protection that are defined in agreements among the FHLBank of Topeka and its PFIs. The availability of loss protection may differ slightly among MPF products. Our loss protection consists of the following loss layers, in order of priority:

(i) Borrower equity;
(ii) PMI (when applicable);
(iii) FLA, which functions as a tracking mechanism for determining our potential loss exposure under each pool prior to the PFI’s CE Obligation; and
(iv) CE Obligation, which absorbs losses in excess of the FLA in order to limit our loss exposure to that of an investor in an MBS deemed to be investment-grade.

PMI.For a conventional loan, PMI, if applicable, covers losses or exposure down to approximately an LTV ratio between 65% and 80%based upon the original appraisal, original LTV ratio, term, and amount of PMI coverage. As of December 31, 2017, we had PMI coverage on $28 million or 11% of our conventional MPF Program mortgage loans. 
FLA and CE Obligation. If losses occur in a pool, these losses will either be: (i) recovered through the withholding of future performance-based CE fees from the PFI or (ii) absorbed by us in the FLA. As of December 31, 2017, our exposure under the FLA was $4 million, and CE obligations available to cover losses in excess of the FLA were $2 million. PFIs must fully collateralize their CE Obligation with assets considered acceptable by the FHLBank of Topeka.

MPP and MPF ProgramMortgage Loan Characteristics. Two indicators of credit quality at origination are LTV ratios and credit scores provided by FICO®. FICO® provides a commonly used measure to assess a borrower’s credit quality, with scores ranging from a low of 300 to a high of 850.The combination of a lower FICO® score and a higher LTV ratio is a key driver of potential mortgage delinquencies and defaults.

We do not knowingly purchaseMortgage Loan Concentration. During 2022, our top-selling PFI sold us mortgage loans totaling $272 million, or 24% of the total mortgage loans that we purchased in 2022. Our five top-selling PFIs sold us 50% of the total. Because of this concentration, we regularly analyze the implications to our financial management and profitability if we were to lose the business of one or more of these sellers.

Non-accrual loans are defined as conventional mortgage loans where either (i) the collection of interest or principal is doubtful, or (ii) interest or principal is past due for 90 days or more, except when the loan is well secured and in the process of collection (e.g., through credit enhancements and monthly servicer remittances on a scheduled/scheduled basis).
(2)
The interest income shortfall on non-accrual loans was less than $1 million for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016, 2015, 2014, and 2013.
(3)
Represents TDRs that are still performing. TDRs related to mortgage loans are considered to have occurred when a concession is granted to the debtor related to the debtor's financial difficulties that would not otherwise be considered for economic or legal reasons. We do not participate in government-sponsored loan modification programs. See Notes to Financial Statements - Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Note 9 - Allowance for Credit Losses for more information on modifications and TDRs.
(4)
Our allowance for loan losses also included $2 million, $3 million, $5 million, $6 million, and $14 million of principal previously paid in full by the servicers that remained subject to potential claims by those servicers for any losses resulting from past or future liquidations of the underlying properties at December 31, 2017, 2016, 2015, 2014, and 2013, respectively.

(1)     Non-accrual loans are defined as conventional mortgage loans where either (i) the collection of interest or principal is doubtful, or (ii) interest or principal is past due for 90 days or more, except when the loan is well secured and in the process of collection (e.g., through credit enhancements and monthly servicer remittances on a scheduled/scheduled basis).
(2)     Ratios of —% represent results less than 0.1%.

The serious delinquency rate for conventional mortgages was 0.16% at December 31, 2022, compared to 0.40% at December 31, 2021. The serious delinquency rate for government-guaranteed or -insured mortgages was 0.59% and 0.46%1.07% at December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.2022, compared to 0.86% at December 31, 2021. We rely on insurance provided by the FHA, which generally provides coverage for 100% of the principal balance of the underlying mortgage loan and defaulted interestinterest at the debenture rate. However, we would receive defaulted interest at the contractual rate from the servicer. The serious delinquency rate for conventional mortgages was 0.20% at December 31, 2017, compared to 0.32% at December 31, 2016. Both rates were below the national serious delinquency rate.
Although weWe establish credit enhancements in each mortgage pool purchased under our original MPP at thethe time of the pool's origination that are sufficient to absorb loan losses up to approximately 50% of the property's original value (subject, in certain cases, to an aggregate stop-loss provision in the SMI policy), the magnitude of the declines in home prices and increases in the time to complete foreclosures in past years resulted in losses in some of the mortgage pools that have exhausted the LRA; however, credit enhancement support is still available through the SMI coverage. Some of our mortgage pools have loans originated in states and localities (e.g., Florida, Illinois, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and New York) that have had the most lengthy foreclosure processes. We purchased most of these loan pools from institutions that are no longer members of our Bank and, thus, have stopped selling mortgage loans to us. When a mortgage pool's credit enhancements are exhausted, we will incur any additional loan losses in that pool..


Overall, the trends in the credit performance of our mortgage loans held for portfolio over the last five years have been positive.

Derivatives.The Dodd-Frank Act provides statutory and regulatory requirements for derivatives transactions, including those we use to hedge our interest rate and other risks. Since June 2013, we have been required to clear certain interest-rate swaps that fall within the scope of the first mandatory clearing determination. Beginning in February 2014, certain derivatives designated by the CFTC as "made available to trade" were required to be executed on a swap execution facility.

Our over-the-counter derivative transactions are either (i) heldentered into directly with a counterparty (uncleared derivatives) or (ii) cleared through a Futures Commission Merchant (i.e., clearing agent) with a clearinghouseClearinghouse (cleared derivatives).

Uncleared Derivatives. We are subject to credit risk due to the potential non-performance by the counterparties to our uncleared derivative transactions. We require collateral agreements with our uncleared derivative counterparties. The exposure thresholds above which collateral must be delivered vary; the threshold is zero in somemost cases.
Cleared Derivatives. We are subject to credit risk due to the potential non-performance by the clearinghouseClearinghouse and clearing agent because we are required to post initial and variation margin through the clearing agent, on behalf of the clearinghouse,Clearinghouse, which exposes us to institutional credit risk if either the clearing agent or the clearinghouseClearinghouse fails to meet its obligations. Collateral is required to be posted daily for changes in the value of cleared derivatives to mitigate each counterparty's credit risk. In addition, all derivative transactions are subject to mandatory reporting and record-keeping requirements.
The contractual or notional amount of derivative transactions reflects the extent of our participation in the various classes of financial instruments. Our credit risk with respect to derivative transactions is the estimated cost of replacing the derivative positions if there is a default, minus the value of any related collateral. In determining credit risk, we consider accrued interest receivables and payables as well as the requirements to net assets and liabilities. See For more information, see Notes to Financial Statements - Note 118 - Derivatives and Hedging Activitiesfor more information..

AHP.Our AHP requires members and project sponsors to make commitments with respect to the usage of the AHP grants to assist very low-, low-, and moderate-income families, as defined by regulation. If these commitments are not met, we may have an obligation to recapture these funds from the member or project sponsor to replenish the AHP fund. This credit exposure is addressed in part by evaluating project feasibility at the time of an award and the member’s ongoing monitoring of AHP projects.

Liquidity Risk Management. The primary objectives of liquidity risk management are to maintain the ability to meet obligations as they come due and to meet the credit needs of our member borrowers in a timely and cost-efficient manner. We routinely monitor the sources of cash available to meet liquidity needs and use various tests and guidelines to manage our liquidity risk.


Daily projections of required liquidity are prepared to help us maintain adequate funding for our operations. Operational liquidity levels are determined assuming sources of cash from both the FHLBank System's ongoing access to the capital markets and our holding of liquid assets to meet operational requirements in the normal course of business. Contingent liquidity levels are determined based upon the assumption of an inability to readily access the capital markets for a period of five business20 calendar days. These analyses include projections of cash flows and funding needs, targeted funding terms, and various funding alternatives for achieving those terms. A contingency plan allows us to maintain sufficient liquidity in the event of operational disruptions at our Bank, at the Office of Finance, or in the capital markets.


For more information on liquidity management, see Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Liquidity.

Operational Risk Management. Operational risk is the risk of loss resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes, people, and systems, or from external events. Our management has established policies, procedures, and controls and acquired insurance coverage to mitigate operational risk. Our Internal Audit department, which reports directly to the Audit Committee of the board of directors, regularly monitors our adherence to established policies, procedures, applicable regulatory requirements and best practices.


Our enterprise risk management function and business units complete a comprehensive annual risk and control assessmentself-assessment that serves to reinforcereinforces our focus on maintaining strong internal controls by identifying significant inherent risks and the mitigating internal controls in order for the residual risks to be assessed and the appropriate strategy designed to accept, transfer, avoid or mitigate such risks. The risk assessment process provides management and the board of directors with a detailed and transparent view of our identified risks and related internal control structure.


We use various financial models to quantify financial risks and analyze potential strategies. We maintain a model risk management program that includes a validation programprocess intended to mitigate the risk of loss resulting from model errors or the incorrect use or application of model output, which could potentially lead to inappropriate business or operational decisions.


Our operations rely on the secure processing, storage and transmission of sensitive/confidential and other information in our computer systems, software and networks. As a result, our Cyber Risk ManagementInformation Security Program is designed to protect our information assets, information systems and sensitive data from internal, external, vendor and third party cyber risks, including due diligence, risk assessments, and ongoing monitoring of critical vendors by our Vendor Management Office. The Cyber Risk ManagementInformation Security Program includes processes for monitoring existing, emerging and imminent threats as well as cyber attacks impacting our industry in order to develop appropriate risk management strategies. Protective securityInformation Security controls detective controls,designed to protect and responsive controlsdetect are in place, for critical infrastructure, systemsincluding procedures to respond to and services. Periodically, we engage external third parties to assess our Cyber Risk Management Program and perform testing to validatemitigate the effectivenessimpacts of the program.security incidents.


In order to ensure our ongoing ability to provide liquidity and service to our members, we have business continuity plans designed to restore critical business processes and systems in the event of a business interruption. We operate both a business resumption center and a disaster recovery data center, at separate locations, with the objective of being able to fully recover all critical activities in a timely manner. Both facilities are subject to periodic testing to demonstrate the Bank can recover operationsBank's resiliency in the event of a disaster. In addition, all Bank staff have the capabilities to work remotely. We also have a back-up agreement in place with the FHLBank of Cincinnati in the event the Bank'scritical business operations at our primary and back-up facilities are inoperable.


We have insurance coverage for cybersecurity, employee fraud, forgery and wrongdoing, as well as Directors' and Officers' liability coverage that provides protection for claims alleging breach of duty, misappropriation of funds, neglect, acts of omission, employment practices, and fiduciary liability. We also have property, casualty, computer equipment, automobile, and other various types of insurance coverage. We complete periodic reviews to ensure the Bank maintains all insurance coverages at commercially appropriate levels.

Business Risk Management. Business risk is the risk of an adverse impact on our profitability and financial condition resulting from external factors that may occur in both the short and long term. Business risk includes economic, political, strategic, reputation, and/legislative and regulatory developments or regulatory events that are beyond our control. Examples of external factors may include, but are not limited to: continued financial services industry consolidation, a declining membership base, changes in the mix and/or concentration of borrowing among members, the introduction of new competing products and services, increased non-bank competition, enhanced liquidity at member institutions due to governmental programs, weakening of the FHLBank System's GSE status, changes in the deposit and mortgage markets for the Bank's members, changes that could occur as a result of new legislation, and other factors that may have a significant direct or indirect impact on our ability to achieve our mission and strategic objectives. Our board of directors and management seek to mitigate these risks by, among other actions, maintaining an open and constructive dialogue with regulators, providing input on potential legislation, conducting long-term strategic planning and continually monitoring general economic conditions and the external environment.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

As used in this Item, unless the context otherwise requires, the terms "Bank," "we," "us," and "our" refer to the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis or its management. We use acronyms and terms throughout this Item that are defined herein or in the Glossary of Terms.


Market risk is the risk that the market value or estimated fair value of our overall portfolio of assets and liabilities, including derivatives, or our net earnings will decline as a result of changes in interest rates or financial market volatility. Market risk includes the risks related to:


movements in interest rates over time;
changes in mortgage prepayment speeds over time;
advance prepayments;
actual and implied interest-rate volatility;
the change in the relationship between short-term and long-term interest rates (i.e., the slope of the consolidated obligation and LIBOR yield curves)curve);
the change in the relationship of FHLBank System debt spreads to relevant indices primarily LIBOR (commonly referred to as "basis" risk); and
the change in the relationship between fixed rates and variable rates.


The goal of market risk management is to preserve our financial strength at all times, including during periods of significant market volatility and across a wide range of possible interest-rate scenarios. We regularly assess our exposure to changes in interest rates using a diverse set of analyses and measures. As appropriate, we may rebalance our portfolio to help attain our risk management objectives.


Our general approach toward managing interest-rate risk is to acquire and maintain a portfolio of assets and liabilities that, together with their associated hedges, limit our expected interest-rate sensitivity to within our specified tolerances. Additionally, in order to manage the exposure to mortgage contraction (prepayment) and extension risk, the outstanding balance of mortgage loans is limited to a proportion of total assets and the total amount of our investments in MBS must not exceed 300% of our total regulatory capital on the day of purchase. Derivative financial instruments, primarily interest-rate swaps, are frequently employed to hedge the interest-rate risk and/or embedded option risk on advances, debt, GSE debentures and agencyAgency MBS held as investments.


The prepayment option on an advance can create interest-rate risk. If a member prepays an advance, we could suffer lower future income if the principal portion of the prepaid advance is reinvested in lower yielding assets that continue to be funded by higher cost debt. To protect against this risk, we charge a prepayment fee, thereby substantially reducing market risk. See Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysisrisk associated with the prepayment of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Analysis of Financial Condition - Total Assets - Advances for more information on prepayment fees and their impact on our financial results.an advance.


We have significant investments in mortgage loans and MBS. The prepayment options embedded in mortgages can result in extensions or contractions in the expected weighted average life of these investments, depending on changes in interest rates and other economic factors. We primarily manage the interest-rate and prepayment risk associated with mortgages through debt issuance, which includes both callable and non-callable debt, to achieve cash-flow patterns and liability durations similar to those expected on the mortgage portfolios. Due to the use of call options and lockouts, and by selecting appropriate maturity sectors, callable debt provides an element of protection for the prepayment risk in the mortgage portfolios. The durationaverage life of callable debt, like that of a mortgage, shortens when interest rates decrease and lengthens when interest rates increase.

Significant resources, including analytical computer models and an experienced professional staff, are devoted to assuring thatproperly measuring the level of interest-rate risk in the balance sheet, is properly measured, thus allowing us to monitor the risk against policy and regulatory limits. We use asset and liability models to calculate market values under alternative interest-rate scenarios. The models analyze our financial instruments, including derivatives, using broadly accepted algorithmswith consistent and appropriate behavioral assumptions, market prices, market data (such as rates, volatility, etc.) and current position data. On at least an annual basis, we review the major assumptions and methodologies used in the models, including discounting curves, spreads for discounting, and prepayment assumptions.

Types of Key Market Risks


Our market risk results from various factors, such as:


Interest Rates - level of interest rates and parallel and non-parallel shifts in the yield curve;
Basis Risk - the risk that changes to one interest-rate index will not perfectly offset changes to another interest-rate index;
Volatility - varying values of assets or liabilities with embedded options, such as mortgages and callable bonds, created by the changing expectations of the magnitude or frequency of changes in interest rates;
Option-Adjusted SpreadEmbedded Options - an estimate of the incremental yield spread between a particular financial instrument (i.e., an advance, investment or derivative contract) and a benchmark yield (e,g,, LIBOR). This includes consideration of potential variability in the instrument's cash flows of financial instruments (i.e., advances, investments or derivatives) resulting from any options embedded in the instrument,instruments, such as prepayment options;options in mortgages and
callable bonds; and
Prepayment Speeds - expected levels of principal payments on mortgage loans held in a portfolio or supporting an MBS, variations from which alter their cash flows, yields, and values, particularly in cases where the loans or MBS are acquired at a premium or discount.


Measuring Market Risks
 
To evaluate market risk, we utilize multiple risk measurements, including Value-at-Risk ("VaR"), duration of equity, convexity, changes in MVE, duration gap, convexity, VaR,and earnings at risk, and changes in MVE.risk. Periodically, we conduct stress tests to measure and analyze the effects that extreme movements in the level of interest rates and the shape of the yield curve would have on our risk position.


Market Risk-Based Capital Requirement. We are subject to the Finance Agency's risk-based capital regulations. This regulatory framework requires the maintenance of sufficient permanent capital to meet the combined credit risk, market risk, and operations risk components. The market risk-based capital componentrequirement is the suman estimate of two factors. The first factor is the market value decline of the portfolio at risk from movements in interest rates and other factors that could occur during times of market stress. This estimation is accomplished throughWe use an internal, VaR-based modeling approachmodel to make the estimate. The model:

is intended to result in an estimate such that was approved by the Finance Board beforeprobability of loss greater than the implementation of our capital plan. The second factorestimate is the amount, if any, by which the current market value of total regulatory capital is lessno more than 85% of the book value of total regulatory capital.one percent; and

The VaR approach used for calculating the first factor is primarily based upon historical simulation methodology. The estimation incorporates scenarios that reflectuses certain interest-rate shifts, interest-rate volatility, and changes in the shape of the yield curve. These observations are based on historical information from 1978 to the present. When calculating the risk-based capital requirement, the VaR comprising the first factor of the market risk component is defined as the potential dollar loss from adverse market movements, for a holding period of 120 business days, with a 99% confidence interval, based on those historical prices and market rates. price scenarios we develop in accordance with Finance Agency guidance.

Duration of Equity. Duration of equity is a measure of interest-rate risk and is aone of the primary metricmetrics used to manage our market risk exposure. It is ana linear estimate of the percentage change in our MVE that could be caused by a 100 bps parallel upward or downward shift in the interest-rate curves. We value our portfolios using a mix of the LIBOREFFR/SOFR curve, the OISAgency curve, the consolidated obligationU.S. Treasury curve orand external prices. The market value and interest-rate sensitivity of each asset, liability, and off-balance sheet position is determined to compute our duration of equity. We calculate duration of equity using the interest-rate curve as of the date of calculation and for defined interest rate shock scenarios, including scenarios for which the interest-rate curve is 100 bps and 200 bps higher or lower than the base level. Our board of directors determines acceptable ranges for duration of equity.equity for the base scenario. A negative duration of equity suggests adverse exposure to falling rates and a favorable response to rising rates, while a positive duration suggests adverse exposure to rising rates and a favorable response to falling rates.


As part of our overall interest-rate risk management process, we continue to evaluate strategies to manage interest-rate risk. Certain strategies, if implemented, could have an adverse impact on future earnings.

We measure potential changes inis impacted by the market value to book valueconvexity of equity based on the current month-end level of rates versus large parallel rate shifts. This measurement provides information related to the sensitivity of our interest-rate position. The following table presents certain market and interest-rate metrics under different interest-rate scenarios ($ amounts in millions).

(1)
Given the current low interest-rate environment, we adjusted the downward rate shocks to prevent the assumed interest rate from becoming negative.
(2)
The change in the base MVE/book value of equity from December 31, 2016 resulted primarily from the change in market value of the assets and liabilities in response to changes in the market environment and changes in portfolio composition. The changes in the MVE sensitivity from December 31, 2016 was primarily due to an update of the vendor prepayment model used in market risk modeling.
(3)
We use interest-rate shocks in 50 bps increments to determine duration of equity.

Convexity.its financial instruments. Convexity measures the rate of change of duration, or curvature, as a function of interest-rate changes. Measurement of convexity is important because of the optionality embedded in the mortgage assets and callable debt liabilities. The mortgage assets exhibit negative convexity due to embedded prepayment options. Callable debt liabilities exhibit positive convexity due to embedded options that we can exercise to redeem the debt prior to maturity. Management routinely reviews the net convexity exposure and considers it when developing funding and hedging strategies for the acquisition of mortgage-based assets. A primary strategy for managing convexity risk arising from our mortgage portfolio is the issuance of callable debt. The negative convexity of the mortgage assets tends to be partially offset by the positive convexity contributed by underlying callable debt liabilities.


Market Value of Equity. MVE represents the difference between the estimated market value of total assets and the estimated market value of total liabilities, including any off-balance sheet positions. It measures, in present value terms, the long-term economic value of current capital and the long-term level and volatility of net interest income.

We also monitor the sensitivities of MVE to potential interest-rate scenarios. We measure potential changes in the market value to book value of equity based on the current month-end level of rates versus various large parallel and non-parallel shifts in rates. Our board of directors determines acceptable ranges for the change in MVE for 200 bps parallel upward or downward shift in the interest-rate curves as well as certain flattening and steepening scenarios.

Key Metrics. The following table presents certain market and interest-rate metrics under different interest-rate scenarios ($ amounts in millions).

The changes in those key metrics from December 31, 2021 resulted primarily from the change in market value of the Bank's assets and liabilities in response to changes in the market environment, changes in portfolio composition and our hedging strategies.

Duration Gap. A related measure of interest-rate risk is duration gap, which is the difference between the estimated durations (market value sensitivity) of assets and liabilities. Duration gap measures the sensitivity of assets and liabilities to interest-rate changes. Duration generally indicates the expected change in an instrument's market value resulting from an increase or a decrease in interest rates. Higher duration numbers, whether positive or negative, indicate greater volatility of market value in response to changing interest rates. The base case duration gap was 0.10% at December 31, 2017, compared2022 and 2021 was (0.03)% and (0.11)% , respectively.

As part of our overall interest-rate risk management process, we continue to 0.03% at December 31, 2016.evaluate strategies to manage interest-rate risk.

Use of Derivative Hedges
 
We use derivatives to hedge our market risk exposures. The primary types of derivatives used are interest-rate swaps, forward contracts and caps. Interest-rate swaps and capsDerivatives increase the flexibility of our funding alternatives by providing specific cash flows or characteristics that might not be as readily available or cost effective if obtained in the cash debt market. We do not speculate using derivatives and do not engage in derivatives trading. 


Hedging Debt Issuance. When CO bonds are issued, we often use the derivatives market to create funding that is more attractively priced than the funding available in the consolidated obligations market. To reduce funding costs, we may enter into interest-rate swaps concurrently with the issuance of consolidated obligations. A typical hedge of this type occurs when a CO bond is issued, while we simultaneously execute a matching interest rate swap. The counterparty pays a rate on the swap to us, which is designed to mirror the interest rate we pay on the CO bond. In this transaction we typically pay a variable interest rate generally LIBOR, which closely matches the interest payments we receive on short-term or variable-rate advances or investments. This intermediation between the capitalbond and swap markets permits the acquisition of funds by us at lower all-in costs than would otherwise be available through the issuance of simple fixed- or floating-rate consolidated obligations in the capitalbond markets. The continued attractiveness of such debt depends on yield relationships between the debt and derivative markets. If conditions in these markets change, we may alter the types or terms of the CO bonds that we issue. Occasionally, interest rate swaps are executed to hedge discount notes.


Hedging Advances. Interest-rate swaps are also used to increase the flexibility of advance offerings by effectively converting the specific cash flows or characteristics that the borrower prefers into cash flows or characteristics that may be more readily or cost effectively funded in the debt markets.


Hedging Mortgage Loans. We use agencyAgency TBAs to hedge MDC positions. 


Hedging Investments. Some interest-rate swaps are executed to hedge investments. In addition, interest-rate caps are purchased to reduce the risk inherent in floating-rate instruments that include caps as part of the structure.


Other Hedges. We occasionally use derivatives, such as swaptions, to maintain our risk profile within the approved risk limits set forth in our Enterprise Risk Management Policy. On an infrequent basis, we mayrisk management policies. We are permitted to act as an intermediary between certain smaller member institutions and the capital markets by executing interest-rate swaps with members.members, but have not done so.

See The change in the percentage of swapped advances at December 31, 2022 compared to December 31, 2021, is due to the shift in the relative amount of shorter-term fixed-rate advances funded primarily by discount notes. The general decline in LIBOR floating-rate advances formerly hedged with LIBOR basis swaps drove the reduced amount of variable-rate advances as members shifted those advances to other indices.

The increase in the percentage of swapped fixed-rate CO bonds is due to increases in short-term assets, as well as liquidity assets and fixed-rate advances requiring swapped funding. The variable-rate CO bonds at December 31, 2022 were SOFR floating-rate liabilities with no requirements for swaps.

Replacement of the LIBOR Benchmark Interest Rate

In March 2021, the United Kingdom Financial Conduct Authority ("FCA") confirmed that the publication of the principal tenors of U.S. dollar LIBOR (i.e., overnight, one-month, three-month, six-month and 12-month LIBOR) will cease immediately following a final publication on credit riskJune 30, 2023. As of January 1, 2022, the one-week and two-month U.S. dollar LIBOR settings and all non-U.S. dollar LIBOR settings ceased to be provided by any administrator. The FCA has indicated that it does not expect the remaining U.S. dollar LIBOR settings to become unrepresentative before the cessation date.

A portion of our advances, investments, derivative assets, derivative liabilities, and related collateral remain directly or indirectly indexed to derivatives.U.S. dollar LIBOR with maturity dates that extend beyond June 30, 2023. As a result, we have taken and will continue to take steps to transition our LIBOR-linked financial instruments and contracts. To that end, and consistent with a Finance Agency supervisory letter sent to the FHLBanks in September 2019, we ceased purchasing investments that reference LIBOR and mature after December 31, 2021. Effective March 31, 2020, we ceased to enter into LIBOR-linked structured advances and, effective June 30, 2020, we ceased to enter into all other LIBOR-linked transactions, with maturities that extend beyond December 31, 2021. Further, we have endeavored to identify and amend our financial instruments and contracts including advances, investments and derivatives that may require adding or adjusting fallback language.

Table of Contents


We continue to take steps to adopt SOFR, the alternative to U.S. dollar LIBOR recommended by the Alternative Reference Rates Committee, for our relevant products, services and financial instruments. In October 2020, the clearinghouses transitioned the rate for discounting all U.S. dollar interest-rate cleared swaps to SOFR and SOFR is now the dominant index in the market for any new financial transactions. We have fully transitioned to utilize interest-rate swaps based on SOFR or the EFFR as alternative interest-rate hedging strategies.

We have also adhered to the International Swaps and Derivatives Association 2020 Interbank Offered Rate Fallbacks Protocol and will work with its counterparties, as necessary, to address its over-the-counter derivative agreements referencing U.S. dollar LIBOR as a part of its LIBOR transition efforts. We continue to monitor the market-wide efforts to address fallback language related to derivatives and investment securities, as well as fallback language for new activities and issuances of financial instruments.

Further, each clearinghouse announced its own proposal for the conversion process of LIBOR-linked cleared derivatives to risk-free rates. The conversions are scheduled to occur in several tranches based on product type and are generally expected to be completed before the effective date of LIBOR cessation for all covered products that are utilized by the Bank.

We continue to implement our transition plan that has reduced our exposure to the transition arising from the cessation of the publication of LIBOR and has the flexibility to evolve with market developments and standards, member needs, and guidance provided by the issuers of Agency securities. As a result, we do not expect the replacement of LIBOR by June 30, 2023 to have a material adverse impact on the Bank's business, results of operations or financial condition.

For more information, see Item 1A. Risk Factors - Changes in Response to the Replacement of the LIBOR Benchmark Interest Rate Could Adversely Affect Our Business, Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting


Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over our financial reporting ("ICFR"), as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act. Our ICFR is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:
 
pertain to the maintenance of our records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect our transactions and asset dispositions; 
provide reasonable assurance that our transactions are recorded as necessary to permit the preparation of our financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and board of directors; and
provide reasonable assurance regarding the prevention or timely detection of any unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements.


Reasonable assurance, as defined in Section 13(b)(7) of the Exchange Act, is the level of detail and degree of assurance that would satisfy prudent officials in the conduct of their own affairs in devising and maintaining a system of internal accounting controls.


Because of its inherent limitations, ICFR may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.


Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer, we assessed the effectiveness of our ICFR as of December 31, 2017.2022. Our assessment included extensive documentation, evaluation, and testing of the design and operating effectiveness of our ICFR. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework(2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. These criteria include the areas of control environment, risk assessment, control activities, information and communication, and monitoring. Based on our assessment using these criteria, our management concluded that we maintained effective ICFR as of December 31, 2017.2022.






Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm


To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of the
Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis


Opinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial Reporting


We have audited the accompanying statements of condition of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis (the "FHLBank""Bank") as of December 31, 20172022 and 2016,2021, and the related statements of income, of comprehensive income, of capital and of cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2017,2022, including the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). We also have audited the FHLBank'sBank's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2017,2022, based on criteria established in Internal Control —Integrated- Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).


In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the FHLBankBank as of December 31, 20172022 and 2016,2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 20172022 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the FHLBankBank maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2017,2022, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the COSO.


Basis for Opinions


The FHLBank'sBank's management is responsible for these financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting.Reporting appearing under Item 8. Our responsibility is to express opinions on the FHLBank'sBank's financial statements and on the FHLBank'sBank's internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB")(PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the FHLBankBank in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.


We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.


Our audits of the financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.


Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting


A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.







Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.


Critical Audit Matters

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (i) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (ii) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

Valuation of Interest-Rate Related Derivatives and Hedged Items

As described in Notes 8 and 16 to the financial statements, the Bank uses derivatives to reduce funding costs and to manage its exposure to interest-rate risks, among other objectives. The total notional amount of derivatives as of December 31, 2022 was $73 billion, of which 91% were designated as hedging instruments, and the net fair value of derivative assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2022 was $434 million and $19 million, respectively. The fair values of interest-rate related derivatives and hedged items are generally estimated using standard valuation techniques such as discounted cash-flow analysis and comparisons to similar instruments. The discounted cash-flow analysis uses market-observable inputs, such as interest rate curves and volatility assumptions.

The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the valuation of interest-rate related derivatives and hedged items is a critical audit matter are the significant audit effort in evaluating the interest rate curves and volatility assumptions used to fair value these derivatives and hedged items, and the audit effort involved the use of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge.

Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the financial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to the valuation of interest-rate related derivatives and hedged items, including controls over the method, data and assumptions. These procedures also included, among others, the involvement of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge to assist in developing an independent range of prices for a sample of interest-rate related derivatives and hedged items and comparison of management’s estimate to the independently developed ranges. Developing the independent range of prices involved testing the completeness and accuracy of data provided by management and independently developing the interest rate curves and volatility assumptions.

We use acronyms2020. Acronyms and terms used throughout these Notes to Financial Statements that are defined herein or in the Glossary ofDefined Terms. Unless the context otherwise requires, the terms "Bank," "we," "us," and "our" refer to the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis or its management.


Background Information


The Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis, a federally chartered corporation, is one of 11 regional wholesale FHLBanks in the United States. The FHLBanks are GSEs that were organized under the Bank Act to serve the public by enhancing the availability of credit for residential mortgages and targeted community development. Even though we arethe Bank is part of the FHLBank System, we operate as a separate entity with our own management, employees, shareholders and board of directors.


Each FHLBank is a financial cooperative that provides a readily available, competitively-priced source of funds to its member institutions. Regulated financial depositories and non-captive insurance companies engaged in residential housing finance that have their principal place of business located in, or are domiciled in, our district states of Michigan or Indiana are eligible for membership in our Bank.membership. Additionally, qualified CDFIs are eligible to be members. Housing Associates, including state and local housing authorities, that meet certain statutory and regulatory criteria may also borrow from us. While eligible to borrow, Housing Associatesus, but are not members and, as such, are not allowed to hold our capital stock.


Each member must purchase a minimum amount of our capital stock based on the amount of its total mortgage assets. A member may be required to purchase additional activity-based capital stock as it engages in certain business activities with us. Members and former members own all of our capital stock. Former members (including certain non-member institutions that own our capital stock as a result of a merger with or acquisition of a member) hold our capital stock beyond the redemption period solely to support credit products or mortgage loans still outstanding on our statement of condition. All owners of our capital stock, to the extent declared by our board of directors, receive dividends on their capital stock, subject to the applicable regulations as discussed in Note 15 - Capital. See Note 21 - Related Party and Other Transactionsfor more information about transactions with related parties.regulations.


The FHLBanks' Office of Finance was established to facilitatefacilitates the issuance and servicing of the debt instruments of the FHLBanks, known as consolidated obligations, consisting of bonds and discount notes, and to prepareprepares and publishpublishes the FHLBanks' combined quarterly and annual financial reports.


ConsolidatedProceeds from the issuance of consolidated obligations are the primary source of funds for the FHLBanks. Deposits, other borrowings and capital stock soldissued to members provide additional funds. We primarily use these funds to:

disburse advances to members;
acquire mortgage loans from PFIs through our MPP;
maintain liquidity; and
invest in other opportunities to support the residential housing market.


We also provide correspondent services, such as wire transfer, security safekeeping, and settlement services, to our members.


The Finance Agency is the independent federal regulator of the FHLBanks, Freddie Mac, and Fannie Mae. The Finance Agency's stated mission is to ensure that the housing GSEs operate in a safe and sound manner so that they serve as a reliable source of liquidity and funding for housing finance and community investment.

Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies


Basis of Presentation. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and SEC requirements.


The financial statements contain all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of ourthe Bank's financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. All such adjustments were of a normal recurring nature.


Use of Estimates.When preparing financial statements in accordance with GAAP, we are required to make subjective assumptions and estimates that may affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of income and expense. The most significant estimates pertain to derivatives and hedging activity, fair value, the provision for credit losses, and OTTI. Although the reported amounts and disclosures reflect our best estimates, actual results could differ significantly from these estimates. The most significant estimates pertain to the fair values of financial instruments.


Estimated Fair Value.The estimated fair value amounts, recorded on the statement of condition and presented in the accompanying disclosures, have beenreflect appropriate valuation methods and were determined based on the assumptions that we believe market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability and reflect our best judgment of appropriate valuation methods.liability. Although we use our best judgment in estimating fair value, there are inherent limitations in any valuation technique. Therefore, these estimated fair values may not be indicative of the amounts that would have been realized in market transactions on the reporting dates. See For more information, see Note 1916 - Estimated Fair Values.

Changes in Estimates.Changes in estimates are accounted for more information.prospectively, i.e. in the period of change, and do not result in a revision or restatement of prior period amounts.


Reclassifications.We have reclassified certain amounts from thereported in prior periodperiods to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on total assets, total liabilities, total capital, net income, total comprehensive income or net cash flows.


Interest-Bearing Deposits, Securities Purchased under Agreements to Resell, and Federal Funds Sold. These investments provide short-term liquidity and are carried at cost. Interest-bearing deposits may include certificates of deposit and bank notes not meeting the definition of a security. Securities purchased under agreements to resell are consideredtreated as short-term, collateralized financings.financings and are generally transacted with an overnight term. These securities are held in safekeeping in ourthe Bank's name by third-party custodians approved by us. IfFor securities outstanding longer than overnight, if the market value of the underlying assets declines below the market value required as collateral, the counterparty must (i) place an equivalent amount of additional securities in safekeeping in ourthe Bank's name, and/or (ii) remit an equivalent amount of cash, or the dollar value of the resale agreement will be reduced accordingly.cash. Federal funds sold consist ofare short-term, unsecured loans madethat are generally transacted with an overnight term. Finance Agency regulations include a limit on the amount of unsecured credit an individual FHLBank may extend to investment-grade counterparties.a counterparty.


Investment Securities.Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade date basis. We classify investments as trading, HTM or AFS at the date of acquisition. We did not have any investments

Trading Securities. Securities classified as trading duringare held for liquidity purposes and carried at fair value. Changes in the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 or 2015.fair value of these securities are recorded through other income as net gains (losses) on trading securities. Finance Agency regulation and our risk management policies prohibit the speculative use of these instruments and limit the credit risk arising from these securities.


HTM Securities. Securities for which we have both the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as HTM.HTM and carried at amortized cost. The carrying value includes adjustments made to the cost basis of the security for purchase discount and related accretion, purchase premium and related amortization, and collection of principal, and, if applicable, OTTI recognized in earnings (credit losses) and OCI (non-credit losses).principal.


Certain changes in circumstances may cause us to change our intent to hold a particular security to maturity without necessarily calling into question our intent to hold other debt securities to maturity. Thus, the sale or transfer of an HTM security due to certain changes in circumstances, such as evidence of significant deterioration in the issuer's creditworthiness or changes in regulatory requirements, is not considered to be inconsistent with its original classification. Other isolated, non-recurring, and unusual events, which could not have been reasonably anticipated, may also cause us to sell or transfer an HTM security without necessarily calling into question our intent to hold other debt securities to maturity.








Notes to Financial Statements, continued
($ amounts in thousands unless otherwise indicated)



In addition, sales of HTM debt securities that meet either of the following two conditions may be considered as maturities for purposes of the classification of securities: (i) the sale occurs near enough to its maturity date (or call date, if exercise of the call is probable) that interest-rate risk is substantially eliminated as a pricing factor and any changes in market interest rates would not have a significant effect on the security's fair value, or (ii) the sale occurs after we have already collected a substantial portion (at least 85%) of the principal outstanding at acquisition due either to prepayments or to scheduled payments payable in equal installments (both principal and interest) over its term.

AFS Securities. Securities that have readily determinable fair values and are not classified as trading or HTM are classified as AFS and carried at estimated fair value. We record changesChanges in the fair value of these securities are recorded in OCI as net change in unrealized gains (losses) on AFS securities, except for AFS securities in hedging relationships that have been hedged and for which the hedging relationship qualifiesqualify as a fair-value hedge.hedges. For thesethose securities, we record the portion of the change in fair value attributable to the risk being hedged is recorded in otherinterest income (loss) as net gains (losses) on derivatives and hedging activities together with the related change in the fair value of the derivative, and record the remainder of the change in the fair value of the securities in OCI. For AFS securities that are OTTI, changes in fair value, net of any credit loss, aresecurity is recorded in OCI as the non-credit portion.net change in unrealized gains (losses) on AFS securities. In general, securities classified as AFS may be sold at any time, although specific consideration is given to securities in an unrealized loss position.


Amortization of Purchase Premiums and Discounts.WeSince we hold a large number of similar loans underlying our MBS, for which prepayments are probable and the timing and amount of prepayments can be reasonably estimated, we amortize purchasedor accrete premiums, discounts, and accrete purchased discountscumulative fair-value hedging basis adjustments on MBS and ABS at an individual security levelto interest income using a level-yield under the retrospective level-yield method (retrospective interest method) over the estimated remaining cash flows of each security.method. This method requires that we estimate prepayments over the estimated life of the securitieseach security and make a retrospective adjustment ofretrospectively adjust the effective yield each time we change the estimated remaining cash flows of the securitieschange as if the new estimatesestimate had been used since the original acquisition date. Changes in interest rates are a significant assumption used in prepayment speed estimates.estimating the timing and amount of prepayments.


WeFor all non-MBS securities, we amortize purchasedor accrete premiums, discounts, and accrete purchased discounts on all other investment securities at an individual security level cumulative fair-value hedging basis adjustments using a contractual level-yield methodology underover the contractual life of each security, with the exception of our callable non-MBS securities, on which the purchase premium is amortized to the next call date. For all non-MBS securities, prepayments are not estimated but only taken into account as they actually occur.


Gains and Losses on Sales. We compute gains and losses on sales of investment securities using the specific identification method and include these gains and losses in other income (loss) as net realized gains (losses) from sale of securities.


Investment Securities - Other-Than-Temporary Impairment. On a quarterly basis, we evaluate our individual AFS and HTM securities that have been previously OTTI or are in an unrealized loss position to determine if any such securities are OTTI. A security is in an unrealized loss position (i.e., impaired) when its estimated fair value is less than its amortized cost. We consider an impaired debt security to be OTTI under any of the following conditions:
we intend to sell the debt security; 
based on available evidence, we believe it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell the debt security before the anticipated recovery of its remaining amortized cost; or 
we do not expect to recover the entire amortized cost of the debt security.

Recognition of OTTI.If either of the first two conditions above is met, we recognize an OTTI loss in earnings equal to the entire difference between the debt security's amortized cost and its estimated fair value as of the statement of condition date. For those impaired securities that meet neither of these two conditions, we perform a cash flow analysis to determine whether we expect to recover the entire amortized cost of each security.

If the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected is less than the amortized cost of the debt security, a credit loss equal to that difference is recorded, and the carrying value of the debt security is adjusted to its estimated fair value. However, rather than recognizing the entire difference between the amortized cost and estimated fair value in earnings, only the amount of the impairment representing the credit loss (i.e., the credit component) is recognized in earnings, while the remaining amount, if any, related to all other factors (i.e., the non-credit component) is recognized in OCI. The credit loss on a debt security is capped at the amount of that security's unrealized loss. The new amortized cost basis of the OTTI security, which reflects the credit loss, will not be adjusted for any subsequent recoveries of fair value.

The total OTTI loss is presented in other income (loss) with an offset for the portion recognized in OCI. The remaining amount represents the credit loss.





Notes to Financial Statements, continued
($ amounts in thousands unless otherwise indicated)


Additional OTTI.Subsequent to any recognition of OTTI, if the present value of cash flows expected to be collected is less than the amortized cost basis (which reflects previous credit losses), we record an additional credit loss equal to that difference as additional OTTI. The total amount of additional OTTI (both credit and non-credit component, if any) is determined as the difference between the security's amortized cost, less the amount of OTTI recognized in AOCI prior to the determination of this additional OTTI, and its fair value. For certain AFS or HTM securities that were previously impaired and have subsequently incurred additional credit losses, an amount equal to the additional credit losses, up to the amount of non-credit losses remaining in AOCI, is reclassified out of AOCI and into other income (loss).

Subsequent increases and decreases (if not an additional OTTI) in the estimated fair value of OTTI AFS securities are netted against the non-credit component of OTTI recognized previously in AOCI. For HTM securities, the OTTI in AOCI is accreted to the carrying value of each security on a prospective basis, based on the amount and timing of future projected cash flows (with no effect on earnings unless the security is subsequently sold, matures or additional OTTI is recognized). For debt securities classified as AFS, we do not accrete the OTTI in AOCI to the carrying value because the subsequent measurement basis for these securities is estimated fair value.

Interest Income Recognition. As of the initial OTTI measurement date, a new accretable yield is calculated for the OTTI debt security. This yield is then used to calculate the portion of the credit losses included in the amortized cost of the security to be recognized into interest income each period over the remaining life of the security so as to match the amount and timing of future cash flows expected to be collected.

On a quarterly basis, we re-evaluate the estimated cash flows and accretable yield. If there is no additional OTTI and there is either (i) a significant increase in the security's expected cash flows or (ii) a favorable change in the timing and amount of the security's expected cash flows, we adjust the accretable yield on a prospective basis.

Variable Interest Entities. We do not have any special purpose entities or any other type of off-balance sheet conduits. We have investments in VIEs that consist of senior interests in private-label RMBS and ABS. The carrying amounts of the investments are included in HTM or AFS securities. We have no liabilities related to these VIEs. The maximum loss exposure on these VIEs is limited to our carrying value.

On an annual basis, or more frequently as needed, we conduct an evaluation to determine whether we are the primary beneficiary of any VIE. To make this determination, we consider whether we possess both of the following characteristics:

the power to direct the VIE's activities that most significantly affect the VIE's economic performance; and
the obligation to absorb the VIE's losses, or the right to receive benefits from the VIE, that could potentially be significant to the VIE.

Based on an evaluation of the above characteristics, we have determined that we are not the primary beneficiary of a VIE and, therefore, consolidation is not required for our investments in VIEs as of December 31, 2017 or 2016. In addition, we have not provided financial or other support (explicitly or implicitly) to any VIE during the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016, or 2015. Furthermore, we were not previously contractually required to provide, nor do we intend to provide, that support to any VIE in the future.

Advances.We record advances at amortized cost, adjusted for unamortized premiums, discounts, prepayment fees andto include deferred swap termination fees unearned commitment fees, and fair-value hedging adjustments. We amortize/accrete premiums, discounts, hedging basis adjustments,associated with modified advances, net of deferred prepayment fees, and deferred swap terminationcumulative fair-value hedging basis adjustments. We amortize such fees and recognize unearned commitment fees on advances, tohedging basis adjustments to interest income using a level-yield methodology.methodology over the contractual life of the advance. When an advance is prepaid, any remaining premium or discount is amortized at the time of prepayment. We record interest on advanceswe amortize to interest income as earned.a proportionate share of the remaining balance of those adjustments.


Prepayment Fees. We charge a borrower a prepayment fee when thea borrower repays certain advances prior to the original maturity. We report prepayment fees, net of any associated swap termination fees and hedge accountingcumulative fair-value hedging basis adjustments.adjustments, in interest income on advances.


Advance Modifications. When we fund a new advance concurrent with, or within a short period of time after, the prepayment of an original advance, we determine whether the transaction is effectively either (i) two separate transactions (the prepayment of anthe original advance and the disbursement of a new advance), defined as an advance extinguishment, or (ii) the continuation of the original advance as modified, defined as an advance modification.





Notes to Financial Statements, continued
($ amounts in thousands unless otherwise indicated)


We account for the transaction as an extinguishment if both of the following criteria are met: (i) the effective yield of the new advance is at least equal to the effective yield for a comparable advance to a member with similar collection risks who is not prepaying, and (ii) modifications of the original advance are determined to be more than minor, i.e., if the present value of the cash flows under the terms of the new advance is at least 10% different from the present value of the remaining cash flows under the terms of the original advance or through an evaluation of qualitative factors, which may include changes in the interest-rate exposure to the member by moving from a fixed to an adjustable rateadjustable-rate advance. In all other instances, the transaction is accounted for as an advance modification.


If the transaction is determined to be an advance extinguishment, we recognize income from nonrefundable prepayment fees, net of associated swap termination fees, in the period that the extinguishment occurs. Alternatively, if no prepayment fees are received (e.g., the member requests that we embed the prepayment fee into the rate of the new advance), the difference betweenexcess of the present value of the cash flows of the new advance and thatover those of an advance with a current market rate advance ofand otherwise comparable terms is immediately recognized in current income, and the basis of the new advance is adjusted accordingly.






Notes to Financial Statements, continued
($ amounts in thousands unless otherwise indicated)

If the transaction is determined to be an advance modification, the income from nonrefundable prepayment fees, net of associated swap termination fees, associated with the modification of the original advance isare not immediately recognized in current income but isare (i) included in the carrying value of the modified advance and amortized into interest income over the life of the new advance using a level-yield methodology when the prepayment fee is received up front or (ii) embedded into the rate of the modified advance and recorded as an adjustment to the interest accrual. If the modified advance is hedged in a qualifying hedge relationship, the modified advance is marked to fair value, and subsequent fair value changes attributable to the hedged risk are recorded in other income (loss).


Mortgage Loans Held for Portfolio.We classify mortgage loans, for which we have the positive intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff, as held for portfolio. Accordingly, these mortgage loans are reported at amortized cost, adjusted forto include premiums paid to and discounts received from PFIs, deferred loan fees or costs, hedging basis adjustments, and the allowance for loancredit losses.


Amortization of Purchase Premiums and Discounts.We defer and amortize/amortize or accrete premiums and discounts certain loan fees or costs, and hedging basis adjustments to interest income using a level-yield methodology over the contractual level-yield interest method.life of each loan. When a loan is prepaid, any remaining premium or discount is amortizedwe amortize to interest income in the period in which the loan is prepaid and derecognized. For partial prepayments, a proportionate share of anythe remaining premium or discount is amortized to interest income in the period in which the prepayment occurs.balance of those adjustments.


Non-accrual Loans. We place a conventional mortgage loan on non-accrual status if it is determined that either (i) the collection of interest or principal is doubtful, or (ii) interest or principal is past due for 90 days or more, except when the loan is well secured and in the process of collection (e.g., through credit enhancements and monthly servicer remittances on a scheduled/scheduled basis)basis in which we receive monthly principal and interest payments from the servicer regardless of whether the borrower has made payments to the servicer). Monthly servicer remittances on MPPfor loans on an actual/actual basis may also be well secured; however, servicers on actual/actual remittance do not advance principal and interest due, regardless of borrower creditworthiness, until the payments are received from the borrower or when the loan is repaid. As a result, these loans are placed on non-accrual status once they become 90 days delinquent.


A government-guaranteed or -insured mortgage loan is not placed on non-accrual status when the collection of the contractual principal or interest is 90 days or more past due because of the contractual obligation of the loan servicer to pay defaulted interest at the contractual rate.


For those mortgage loans placed on non-accrual status, accrued but uncollected interest is reversed against interest income (for any interest accrued in the current year) and/or the allowance for loancredit losses (for any interest accrued in the previous year). We record cash payments received on non-accrual loans as a direct reduction of the recorded investment inamortized cost of the loan. When the recorded investmentamortized cost has been fully collected, any additional amounts collected are recognized as interest income. A loan on non-accrual status may be restored to accrual status when it becomes current (zero days past due) and three consecutive and timely monthly payments have been made.received.






Notes to Financial Statements, continued
($ amounts in thousands unless otherwise indicated)


REO. Our MPP was designed to require loan servicers to foreclose and liquidate in the servicer's name rather than in our name. Therefore, we do not take title to any foreclosed property or enter into any other legal agreement under which the borrower conveys all interest in the property to us to satisfy the loan. As the servicer progresses through the process from foreclosure to liquidation, we are paid in full for all unpaid principal and accrued interest on the loan through the normal remittance process. Upon full receipt, the mortgage loan is removed from our statement of condition. As a result of these factors, we do not classify as REO any foreclosed properties collateralizing MPP loans that were previously recorded on our statement of condition. 

Under the MPF Program, REO is recorded in other assets and includes assets that have been received in satisfaction of debt through foreclosures. REO is recorded at the lower of cost or fair value less estimated selling costs. We recognize a charge-off to the allowance for credit losses if the fair value of the REO less estimated selling costs is less than the recorded investment in the loan at the date of the transfer from mortgage loans to REO. Any subsequent gains, losses, and carrying costs are included in other expense.

Loan Participations. We may sellAll participating interests in MPP loans acquired from our PFIs that are sold to other FHLBanks. The terms of the sale of these participating interestsFHLBanks meet the accounting requirements for a sale and, therefore, the participating interests are de-recognizedderecognized from our reported mortgage loan balances and a pro-rata portion of the fixed LRA is assumed by the participating FHLBank for its use in loss mitigation. As a result, available funds remaining in our LRA includeare limited to our pro-rata portion only of the fixed LRA that is associated with the participating interests retained by us. The portion of the participation fees received related to our upfront costs is recognized immediately into income, while the remaining portion related to our ongoing costs is deferred and amortized to income over the remaining life of the participated loans.


Allowance for Credit Losses. An allowance for credit losses is separately established for each identified portfolio segment if it is probable that impairment has occurred as of the statement of condition date and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. See Note 9 - Allowance for Credit Losses for details on each allowance methodology.

Portfolio Segments. A portfolio segment is defined as the level at which an entity develops and documents a systematic methodology for determining its allowance for credit losses. We have developed and documented a systematic methodology for determining an allowance for credit losses, where applicable, for (i) credit products (advances, letters of credit, and other extensions of credit to members); (ii) term securities purchased under agreements to resell and term federal funds sold; (iii) government-guaranteed or -insured mortgage loans held for portfolio; and (iv) conventional mortgage loans held for portfolio.

Classes of Financing Receivables. Classes of financing receivables generally are a disaggregation of a portfolio segment to the extent that they are needed to understand the exposure to credit risk arising from these financing receivables. We determined that no further disaggregation of our portfolio segments is needed, as the credit risk arising from these financing receivables is adequately assessed and measured at the portfolio segment level.

Troubled Debt Restructuring. TDRsRestructuring ("TDR"). A TDR related to MPP loans occurtypically occurs when a concession is granted to a borrower for economic or legal reasons related to the borrower's financial difficulties that would not have been otherwise considered. Although we do not participate in government-sponsored loan modification programs, we do consider certain conventional loan modifications to be TDRs when the modification agreement permits the recapitalization of past due amounts, generally up to the original loan amount. If a borrower is having financial difficulty and a significant concession has been granted by the PFI with our approval, the loan modification is considered a TDR. No other terms of the original loan are modified, except for the possible extension of the contractual maturity date on a case-by-case basis. In no event does the borrower's original interest rate change.


MPP loans discharged in Chapter 7 bankruptcy proceedings without a reaffirmation of the debt are considered TDRs unless they are covered by SMI policies. Loans discharged in Chapter 7 bankruptcy proceedings with SMI policies are also considered to be TDRs unless (i) we will not suffer more than an insignificant delay in receiving all principal and interest due or (ii) we are not relinquishing a legal right to pursue the borrower for deficiencies for those loans not affirmed.

TDRs related to MPF Program loans occur when a concession is granted to a borrower for economic or legal reasons related to the borrower's financial difficulties that would not have been otherwise considered. Such TDRs generally involve modifying the borrower's monthly payment for a period of up to 36 months. MPF Program loans discharged in Chapter 7 bankruptcy proceedings without a reaffirmation of the debt are also considered TDRs.

For both the MPP and the MPF Program, modificationsModifications of government loans are not considered or accounted for as TDRs because we anticipate no loss of principal or interest accrued at the original contract rate, withoutor significant delay, due to the government-guaranteegovernment guarantee or insurance.


Impairment Methodology. A loan is considered impaired when, based on current and historical information and events, it is probable that not all

Loans that are considered collateral dependent are subject to individual evaluation for impairment instead of collective evaluation. Loans are considered collateral dependent if repayment is expected to be provided solely by the sale of the underlying property, i.e., there is no other available and reliable source of repayment (including LRA and SMI). We consider all impaired loans to be collateral dependent and, therefore, measure impairment based on the fair value of the underlying collateral less costs to sell.

Interest income on impaired loans is recognized in the same manner as non-accrual loans.

Charge-Off Policy.Charge-Offs. A charge-off is recorded to the extent that the recorded investmentamortized cost (including UPB, accrued interest, unamortized premiums or discounts, and hedging basis adjustments) inof a loan will not be fully recovered. We record a charge-off on a conventional mortgage loan against the loancredit loss allowance upon the occurrence of a confirming event. Confirming events include, but are not limited to, the settlement of a claim against any of the credit enhancements, delinquency in excess of 180 days unless we determine that the delinquent loan is well-secured and in-process of collection, and filing for bankruptcy protection. We charge-offcharge off the portion of the outstanding conventional mortgage loan balance in excess of the fair value of the underlying property, less costcosts to sell and adjusted for any available credit enhancements.


Derivatives.Allowance for Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.Our financial instruments, i.e. interest-bearing deposits, securities purchased under agreements to resell, federal funds sold, investment securities, advances (including off-balance sheet credit exposures), and mortgage loans held for portfolio, are evaluated quarterly for expected credit losses. If necessary, an allowance for credit losses is recorded with a corresponding adjustment to the provision for credit losses. The allowance for credit losses excludes uncollectible accrued interest receivable for all instruments, which is measured separately. Any uncollectible accrued interest is written off by a reversal of interest income.

For more information on the allowance methodology related to our financial instruments, see Note 4 - Investments, Note 5 - Advances, Note 6 - Mortgage Loans Held for Portfolio, and Note 17 - Commitments and Contingencies.

Financial Instruments Meeting Netting Requirements.We present certain financial instruments on a net basis when we have a legal right of offset and all other requirements for netting are met (collectively referred to as the netting requirements).

Derivatives and Hedging Activities.We record derivative instruments, including related cash collateral (including initial and variation margin received or pledged/posted) and associated accrued interest, on a net basis, by clearing agent and/or by counterparty, when the netting requirements have been met, as either derivative assets or derivative liabilities at their estimated fair values. Changes in the estimated fair value of derivatives are recorded in current period earnings.

For derivative instruments that meet the netting requirements, any excess cash collateral received or pledged is recognized as a derivative liability or derivative asset, respectively.

Cash flows associated with derivatives are reported as cash flows from operating activities in the statement of cash flows unless the derivatives contain financing elements, in which case they are reflected as cash flows from financing activities. Derivative For derivative instruments that include non-standard terms,do not meet the netting requirements, cash collateral is recognized as an interest-bearing asset or require an upfront cash payment, or both, often contain a financing element.liability, as appropriate.Additional information regarding these transactions is provided in Note 8 - Derivatives and Hedging Activities.


Changes in the estimated fair value of derivatives are recorded in earnings regardless of how changes in the estimated fair value of the assets or liabilities being hedged may be recorded.

Designations. Each derivative is designated as one of the following:

(i)a qualifying fair-value hedge of the change in fair value of a recognized asset or liability, an unrecognized firm commitment, or a forecasted transaction (a fair-value hedge); or
(ii)a non-qualifying hedge (economic hedge) for asset/liability management purposes.

Derivatives are recorded beginning on the trade date and typically executed and designated in a qualifying hedging relationship at the same time as the acquisition of the associated hedged item. We may also designate the hedging relationship upon the Bank's commitment to disburse an advance, purchase mortgage loans,financial instruments, or trade a consolidated obligation in which settlement occurs within the shortest period of time possible for the type of instrument based on market settlement conventions. Each derivative is designated as one of the following:



(i)a qualifying hedge of the change in fair value of a recognized asset or liability (e.g., advances, AFS investments, and CO bonds) or an unrecognized firm commitment (fair-value hedge); or

a recognized asset, liability or firm commitment, the designated risk being hedged is the risk of changes in the fair value of the hedged item attributable to changes in the designated benchmark interest rate.

Accounting for Qualifying Hedges. Hedging relationships must meet certain criteria to qualify for hedge accounting including, but not limited to, formal documentation of the hedging relationship and an expectation to be highly effective.effective to qualify for hedge accounting. Two approaches to account for qualifying fair-value hedge relationships include:

(i)Shortcut hedge accounting include:- Hedging relationships that meet certain criteria qualify for the shortcut method of hedge accounting. Under the shortcut method, an assumption can be made that the entire change in fair value of a hedged item, due to changes in the benchmark interest rate, equates to the entire change in fair value of the related derivative. As a result, the derivative is considered to be perfectly effective in achieving offsetting changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability attributable to the hedged risk. When applying the shortcut method, we document, at inception of the hedging relationship, a quantitative long-haul method that we can apply should we subsequently determine a hedging relationship no longer qualifies for shortcut hedge accounting; or

100
(i)Long-haul hedge accounting - The application of long-haul hedge accounting requires us to formally assess (both at the hedge's inception and at least quarterly) whether the derivatives used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in the fair value of hedged items or forecasted transactions and whether those derivatives may be expected to remain highly effective in future periods. 
(ii)Short-cut hedge accounting - Transactions that meet certain criteria qualify for the short-cut method of hedge accounting in which an assumption can be made that the entire change in fair value of a hedged item, due to changes in the benchmark rate, exactly offsets the entire change in fair value of the related derivative. Therefore, the derivative is considered to be highly effective at achieving offsetting changes in fair values of the hedged asset or liability. For all existing hedging relationships entered into prior to April 1, 2008, we continue to use the short-cut method of accounting provided they still meet the assumption of "no ineffectiveness." We no longer apply this method to any other hedging relationships.

(ii)Long-haul hedge accounting - The application of long-haul hedge accounting requires us to assess whether the derivatives used in hedging relationships are highly effective in achieving offsetting changes in the fair value of hedged items or forecasted transactions attributable to the hedged risk and whether those derivatives may be expected to remain highly effective in future periods. As part of the assessment, a regression analysis is performed at the inception of each hedging relationship and at each month-end thereafter.

While a number of long-haul methods and techniques are permissible, we utilize the following:

Total Contractual Coupon Method -In calculating the change in fair value of the hedged item attributable to changes in the benchmark interest rate, the estimated coupon cash flows are based on the full contractual coupon.
Benchmark Component Method - In calculating the change in fair value of the hedged item attributable to changes in the benchmark interest rate, the credit and any other risks embedded in the contractual coupon rate are excluded from the estimated cash flows by aligning the interest component of the derivative with the hedged item. Given this alignment, the application of the benchmark component method generally results in less hedge ineffectiveness in comparison to the total contractual coupon method.

Changes in the fair value of a derivative that is designated and qualifies as a fair-value hedge, along with changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk, (including changes that reflect losses or firm commitments), are recorded in othernet interest income (loss) as net gains (losses) on derivatives and hedging activities. As a result, for fair-value hedges, any hedge ineffectiveness (which represents the amount by which the change in the fair value ofsame line as the derivative differs from the change in the fair valueearnings effect of the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk) is recorded in other income (loss) as net gains (losses) on derivatives and hedging activities.item.


Accounting for Non-Qualifying Hedges.An economic hedge is defined as a derivative that hedges specific or non-specific underlying assets, liabilities, or firm commitments and does not qualify, or was not designated, for hedge accounting. As a result, we recognize only the net interest settlementsettlements and the change in fair value of these derivatives in other income (loss) as net gains (losses) on derivatives and hedging activities with no offsetting fair valuefair-value adjustments in earnings for the hedged assets, liabilities, or firm commitments. An economic hedge by definition, therefore, introduces the potential for earnings variability.


Accrued Interest Receivables and Payables. The difference between the interest receivable and payable on a derivative designated as a qualifying hedge is recognized as ana net adjustment to the interest income or expense of the designated hedged item. The difference between the interest receivable and payable on an economic hedge is recognized in other income as net gains (losses) on derivatives.


Discontinuance of Hedge Accounting. We discontinue hedge accounting prospectively when: (i) the hedging relationship ceases to be highly effective;effective or is otherwise discontinued; (ii) the derivative and/or the hedged item expires or matures, is sold, terminated, transferred or exercised; or (iii) a hedged firm commitment no longer meets the definition of a firm commitment; or (iv) we elect to discontinue hedge accounting.commitment.


When hedge accounting is discontinued we either terminateand the derivative orand hedged item remain, we: (i) continue to carry the derivative on the statement of condition at its fair value as an economic hedge; (ii) cease to adjustadjusting the hedged asset or liability for changes in fair valuevalue; and (iii) amortize the cumulative basis adjustment on the hedged item into interest income over the remaining life of the hedged item using a level-yield methodology.



When we discontinue a qualifying hedge relationship by terminating the derivative and subsequently designating the associated hedged item into a new qualifying hedge relationship, we: (i) recognize the cumulative gain (loss) on the derivative in current period earnings; (ii) pay or receive a termination fee with the counterparty, substantially offsetting the recognized gain (loss) on the derivative; (iii) cease adjusting the hedged asset or liability for changes in fair value; and (iv) amortize the cumulative basis adjustment on the hedged item into interest income over the remaining life of the hedged item using a level-yield methodology.

Embedded Derivatives. We may issue consolidated obligations, disburse advances, or purchase financial instruments in which a derivative instrument is embedded. In order to determine whether an embedded derivative must be bifurcated from the host instrument and separately valued, we must assess, upon execution of the transaction, whether the economic characteristics of the embedded derivative are clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics of the remaining component of the consolidated obligation, advance or purchased financial instrument (the host contract) and whether a separate, non-embedded instrument with the same terms as the embedded instrument would meet the definition of a derivative instrument.




Notes to Financial Statements, continued
($ amounts in thousands unless otherwise indicated)

If we determine that (i) the embedded derivative has economic characteristics that are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics of the host contract and (ii) a separate, stand-alone instrument with the same terms would qualify as a derivative instrument, the embedded derivative is separated from the host contract, carried at fair value, and designated as a stand-alone derivative instrument pursuant to an economic hedge, and thehedge. The host contract is accounted for based on the guidance applicable to instruments of that type that are not hedged. However, if (i) the entire contract (the host contract and the embedded derivative) is required to be measured at fair value, with changes in fair value reported in earnings (such as an investment security classified as trading), or (ii) we cannot reliably identify and measure the embedded derivative for purposes of separating that derivative from its host contract, the entire contract is carried at fair value, and no portion of the contract is designated as a hedging instrument.


Financial Instruments Meeting Netting Requirements.We present certain financial instruments, including our derivative asset and liability positions as well as cash collateral received or pledged, on a net basis when we have a legal right of offset and all other requirements for netting are met (collectively referred to as the netting requirements).

The net exposure for these financial instruments can change on a daily basis; therefore, there may be a delay between the time a change in the exposure is identified and additional collateral is requested, and the time the additional collateral is received or pledged. Likewise, there may be a delay before excess collateral is returned. For derivative instruments that meet the netting requirements, any excess cash collateral received or pledged is recognized as a derivative liability or derivative asset, respectively.Additional information regarding these transactions is provided in Note 11 - Derivatives and Hedging Activities.

Premises, Software, and Equipment. We record premises, software, and equipment at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization,amortization, in other assets, and compute depreciation and amortization using the straight-line method over their respective estimated useful lives, which range from 13 to 40 years. WeWe capitalize improvements and major renewals, but expense maintenance and repairs when incurred. We depreciate building improvements using the straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the improvement or the remaining life of the building.improvement. In addition, we capitalize software development costs for internal use software with an estimated economic useful life of at least one year. If capitalized, we use the straight-line method for computing amortization. We include any gain or loss on disposal (other than abandonment) of premises, software, and equipment in other income (loss).income. Any loss on abandonment of premises, software, and equipment is included in other operating expenses.


Consolidated Obligations. Consolidated obligations are recorded at amortized cost, adjusted forto include concessions, accretion of discounts, amortization of premiums, principal payments, and cumulative fair-value hedging basis adjustments.


Discounts and Premiums. We accrete/amortize the discounts and premiums as well as hedging basis adjustments on CO bonds to interest expense using the level-yield interest method over the term to contractual maturity of the corresponding CO bonds. Any remaining unamortized premium or discount is recognized upon prepayment.

Concessions. Concessions are paid to dealers in connection with the issuance of certain consolidated obligations. The Office of Finance prorates the amount of our concession based upon the percentage of the debt issued on ourthe Bank's behalf. We record concessions paid on consolidated obligations as a direct deduction from their carrying amounts, consistent with the presentation of discounts on consolidated obligations. The concessions are deferred and amortized, using thea level-yield interest method,methodology, to interest expense over the term to contractual maturity of the corresponding consolidated obligations. Anyobligation. When we prepay a CO bond, a proportionate share of any remaining unamortizedbalance of concessions areis recognized upon prepayment.as interest expense.



Discounts and Premiums. We accrete or amortize the discounts and premiums as well as cumulative fair-value hedging basis adjustments to interest expense using a level-yield methodology over the term to contractual maturity of the corresponding CO bond. When we prepay a CO bond, a proportionate share of the remaining balance of those adjustments is recognized as interest income.

Debt Extinguishments.When we extinguish a CO prior to the contractual maturity date on other than a call date, any gain or loss resulting from the extinguishment is recorded in other income (loss) as the difference between the cash paid (market price) and the current carrying value. We do not consider these gains or losses to be extraordinary.

When a member withdraws or attains non-member status by merger or acquisition, charter termination, relocation or other involuntary termination from membership, the member's shares are then subject to redemption, at which time a five-year redemption period commences.commences for Class B stock. Since the shares meet the definition of a mandatorily redeemable financial instrument, the shares are reclassified from capital to liabilities as MRCS at estimated fair value, which is equal to par value. Dividends declared on shares classified as a liability are accrued at the expected dividend rate and reported as interest expense.


We reclassify MRCS from liabilities to capital when non-members subsequently become members through either acquisition, merger, or election. After the reclassification, dividends declared on that capital stock are no longer classified as interest expense.


Restricted Retained Earnings. In accordance with our Joint Capital Enhancement Agreement, as amended, among the 11 FHLBanks, we allocate 20% of the Bank's net income each quarter to a separate restricted retained earnings account until the balance of that account, calculated as of the last day of each calendar quarter, equals at least 1% of the average balance of the Bank's outstanding consolidated obligations for the current quarter.

Gains on Litigation Settlements. Litigation settlement gains, net of related legal fees and litigation expenses, are recorded in other income when realized. A litigation settlement gain is considered realized when we receive cash or assets that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash or claims to cash. In addition, a settlement gain is considered realized when we enter into a signed agreement not subject to appeal, the counterparty has the ability to pay, and the amount to be received can be reasonably estimated. Prior to being realized, we consider potential litigation settlement gains to be gain contingencies and, therefore, they are not recorded in the statement of income.

Finance Agency Expenses. The portion of the Finance Agency's expenses and working capital fund not allocated to Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae is allocated among the FHLBanks as assessments, which are based on the ratio of each FHLBank's minimum required regulatory capital to the aggregate minimum required regulatory capital of every FHLBank. We record our share of these assessments in other expenses.
 
OfficeOffice of Finance Expenses. Our proportionate share of the Office of Finance's operating and capital expenditures is calculated based upon two components as follows: (i) two-thirds based on our share of total consolidated obligations outstanding and (ii) one-third based based on equal pro ratapro-rata allocation. We record our share of these expenditures in other expenses.


Affordable Housing Program Assessments. The Bank Act requires each FHLBank to establish and fund an AHP, which provides subsidies to members to assist in the purchase, construction, or rehabilitation of housing for very low- to moderate-income households. Each period, we charge/(credit) the required funding for AHP to earnings and increase/(decrease) the associated liability. We typically make the AHP subsidy available to members as a grant. As an alternative, we can issue AHP advances at interest rates below the customary interest rate for non-subsidized advances.

Cash Flows.We consider cash and due from banks on the statement of condition as cash and cash equivalents within the statement of cash flows because of their highly liquid nature. Federal funds sold, securities purchased under agreements to resell, and interest-bearing deposits are not treated as cash and cash equivalents, but instead are treated as short-term investments. Accordingly, their associated cash flows are reported in the investing activities section of the statement of cash flows.



Cash flows associated with derivatives are reported as cash flows from operating activities in the statement of cash flows unless the derivatives contain financing elements, in which case they are reflected as cash flows from financing activities. Derivative instruments that include non-standard terms, or require an upfront cash payment, or both, often contain a financing element.

Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Deferral of the Sunset Date (ASU 2022-06). On December 21, 2022, the FASB issued guidance to extend the sunset (or expiration) date of ASU 2020-04 (Topic 848) to December 31, 2024. This change takes into account the United Kingdom Financial Conduct Authority's extension of the cessation date of the overnight 1-, 3-, 6-, and 12-month LIBOR tenors to June 30, 2023, which is beyond the original expiration date of the guidance.

Recently Issued Accounting Guidance.


Revenue from Contracts with CustomersFair-Value Hedging - Portfolio Layer Method (ASU 2014-09)2022-01).On MayMarch 28, 2014,2022, the FASB issued new guidance on revenue from contracts with customers. This guidance outlines a comprehensive model for recognizing revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry specific guidance. In addition, this guidance amendsexpanding the existing requirements for the recognitionlast-of-layer fair-value hedging method by allowing entities to hedge multiple layers of a gain or loss onsingle closed portfolio of prepayable financial assets rather than a single (or last) layer only. To reflect the transfer of nonfinancial assets that are not in a contract with a customer. This guidance applies to all contracts with customers except those that are within the scope of certain other standards, such as financial instruments, certain guarantees, insurance contracts, or lease contracts.

On August 12, 2015, the FASB issued an amendment to defer the effective date of the guidance by one year. In 2016, the FASB issued additional amendments to clarify certain aspects of the guidance; however, the amendments do not change, the core principle inlast-of-layer method was renamed the guidance.portfolio layer method.


The guidance became effective for interim and annual periods beginning on January 1, 2018. The guidance provides entities with the option of using either of the following two methods upon adoption: (i) a full retrospective method, applied to each prior reporting period presented; or (ii) a modified retrospective method, with the cumulative effect of initially applying this guidance recognized at the date of initial adoption. The adoption of this guidance will have no effect on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (ASU 2016-01). On January 5, 2016, the FASB issued amended guidance on certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial instruments. This guidance includes, but is not limited to, the following provisions:

equity investments (with certain exceptions) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income;
separate presentation in other comprehensive income of 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;
separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset (i.e., securities or loans and receivables) on the statement of condition or in the accompanying notes to the financial statements; and
elimination of 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 balance sheet.

The guidance became effective for the interim and annual periods beginning on January 1, 2018. The amendments, in general, should be applied by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to the statement of condition as of the beginning of the period of adoption. The2023. Upon adoption, of this guidance will havehad no effectimpact on ourthe Bank's financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.flows.

Classification of Certain Cash ReceiptsTroubled Debt Restructurings ("TDR") and Cash PaymentsVintage Disclosures (ASU 2016-15)2022-02). On August 26, 2016, the FASB issued amendments to clarify existing guidance on the classification of certain cash receipts and payments on the statement of cash flows to reduce current and potential future diversity in practice regarding eight specific cash flow issues.

These amendments became effective for interim and annual periods beginning on January 1, 2018. These amendments should be applied using a retrospective transition method to each period presented. The adoption of these amendments will have no 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 (ASU 2017-07).On March 10, 2017, the FASB issued amendments to improve the presentation of net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit cost. The amendments require that an employer disaggregate the service cost component from the other components of net pension and 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.

These amendments became effective for interim and annual periods beginning on January 1, 2018. The amendments 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 cost. The adoption of these amendments will have no effect on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. However, the adoption will result in a reclassification within other expenses on the income statement of the non-service components of our net periodic pension cost.

Leases (ASU 2016-02). On February 25, 2016,31, 2022, the FASB issued guidance whicheliminating the accounting guidance for TDRs by creditors that have adopted the current expected credit losses methodology while enhancing disclosure requirements for certain loan refinancings and restructurings made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. Additionally, the guidance requires recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities on the statement of condition and disclosure of key information about leasing arrangements. In particular, thiscurrent-period gross write-offs by year of origination.

The guidance requires a lessee, in an operating or finance lease, to recognize on the statement of condition a liability to make lease payments and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. However, for a lease with a term of 12 months or less, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election not to recognize a lease asset and lease liability. Under previous guidance, a lessee was not required to recognize a lease asset and lease liability arising from an operating lease on the statement of condition. While this guidance does not fundamentally change lessor accounting, some changes have been made to align that guidance with the lessee guidance and other areas within GAAP.

This guidance isbecame effective for the interim and annual periods beginning on January 1, 2019, and early2023. Upon adoption, is permitted. However, we plan to adopt this guidance did not have a material impact on the effective date. The guidance requires lessors and lessees to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented in the financial statements using a modified retrospective approach. Upon adoption, we expect to report higher assets and liabilities as a result of including right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on the statement of condition, but we do not expect its effect on our Bank's financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows, to be material.

Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities (ASU 2017-08).On March 30, 2017, the FASB issued amendments to shorten the amortization period for certain callable debt securities purchased at a premium. Specifically, the amendments require the premium to be amortized to the earliest call date. No change is required for securities purchased at a discount.

These amendments are effective beginning on January 1, 2019. Early adoption is permitted; however,nor do we plan to adopt the amendments on the effective date. The amendments 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. The adoption of this guidance will have no effect on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

On August 28, 2017, the FASB issued amended guidance to improve the financial reporting of hedging relationships to better portray the economic results of an entity's risk management activities in its financial statements. This guidance requires 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 OCI. 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.

This guidance is effective beginning January 1, 2019. Early adoption is permitted; however, we plan to adopt the guidance on the effective date. We are in the process of evaluating this guidance; but we currently expect its adoptionit to have no effect on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. However, the amended presentation and disclosure guidance will result in a prospective reclassification on the income statement of the change in fair value of hedging instruments and related hedged items in fair value hedging relationships from other income to interest income.

Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (ASU 2016-13). On June 16, 2016, the FASB issued amended guidance for the measurement of credit losses on financial instruments. The amendments require entities to measure expected losses over the entire estimated life of a financial instrument instead of incurred losses. Such measurement must be 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 amended guidance requires a financial asset, or a group of financial assets, measured at amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected over the contractual term of the financial asset. The guidance also requires, among other provisions, the following:

The statement of income must reflect the measurement of credit losses for newly recognized financial assets, as well as the increases or decreases in expected credit losses that have taken place during the period.    
Entities must determine the allowance for credit losses for purchased financial assets with a more-than-insignificant amount of credit deterioration since origination in a manner similar to other financial assets measured at amortized cost. The initial allowance for credit losses is required to be added to the purchase price.
Entities must record credit losses relating to AFS 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 must further disaggregate the current disclosure of credit quality indicators in relation to the amortized cost of financing receivables by the year of origination (i.e., vintage).

This guidance is effective for the interim and annual periods beginning on January 1, 2020. Early adoption is permitted as of the interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018; however, we plan to adopt this guidance on the effective date. This guidance should be applied using a modified-retrospective approach whereby a cumulative-effect adjustment is recorded to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is adopted. In addition, the guidance requires the use of 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 OTTI had been recognized before the effective date. We are in the process of evaluating this guidance, but expect the adoption to result in an increase to the allowance for credit losses, including an allowance for debt securities, primarily due to the requirement to measure losses for the entire estimated life of the financial asset. Thematerial impact on our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows will depend upon the composition of financial assets held at the adoption date as well as the economic conditions and forecasts at that time.future disclosures.

Note 4 - Investments

Short-term Investments. We act asinvest 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 maintain a pass-through correspondentcredit rating of triple-B or higher (investment grade) by an NRSRO. At December 31, 2022 and 2021, none of these investments were with counterparties rated below triple-B. The NRSRO ratings may differ from any internal ratings of the investments, if applicable.

Allowance for member institutions requiredCredit Losses.

Interest-Bearing Deposits. Interest-bearing deposits are considered overnight investments given our ability to deposit reserves with the Federal Reserve Banks. The amount reported as cash and duewithdraw funds from banks includes pass-through reserves deposited with the Federal Reserve Banks of $51,576 and $29,118these accounts at any time. As such, no allowance for credit losses was recorded for these investments at December 31, 20172022 and 2016, respectively.2021.


Securities Purchased Under Agreements to Resell.We use the collateral maintenance provision with our counterparties as a practical expedient for securities purchased under agreements to resell whereby a credit loss is recognized only if there is a collateral shortfall which we do not believe the counterparty is willing or able to replenish in accordance with the contractual terms. The credit loss would be limited to the difference between the estimated fair value of the collateral and the investment’s amortized cost. Based upon the collateral held as security and collateral maintenance provisions with our counterparties, no allowance for credit losses was recorded for securities purchased under agreements to resell at December 31, 2022 and 2021.
Note 4 - Available-for-Sale Securities

Federal Funds Sold. As our investments in federal funds sold are typically transacted on an overnight term, we would only evaluate these instruments for expected credit losses if they were not repaid according to their contractual terms at maturity. At December 31, 2022 and 2021, all investments in federal funds sold were repaid according to their contractual terms and, therefore, no allowance for credit losses was recorded.

Realized Gains and Losses. During the year ended December 31, 2020, for strategic, economic and operational reasons, we sold certain of our GSE multifamily MBS. Proceeds from the sales totaled $96,779, resulting in net realized gains from the sale of AFS securities of $504, comprised of realized gains of $715 and realized losses of $(211) determined by the specific identification method.

Contractual Maturity.The amortized cost and estimated fair value of non-MBS AFS securities are presented below by contractual maturity. MBS are not presented by contractual maturity because their actual maturities will likely differ from their contractual maturities as borrowers have the right to prepay their obligations with or without prepayment fees.

Realized GainsAllowance for Credit Losses. At December 31, 2022 and Losses. There were no sales2021, 100% of our AFS securities duringwere rated single-A, or above, by an NRSRO, based on the years endedlowest long-term credit rating for each security. The NRSRO ratings may differ from any internal ratings of the securities, if applicable.

We individually evaluate our AFS securities for impairment. Impairment exists when the estimated fair value of the investment is less than its amortized cost (i.e., in an unrealized loss position). In assessing whether a credit loss exists on an impaired security, we consider whether there could be a shortfall in receiving all cash flows that are contractually due by evaluating several qualitative factors. In those instances where we determine a shortfall could exist, we compare the present value of cash flows to be collected from the security to its amortized cost. If the present value of cash flows is less than amortized cost, an allowance for credit losses is recorded, but the allowance is limited to the amount of the unrealized loss.

If we do not intend to sell an impaired AFS security and it is not more likely than not that we will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, net of the allowance for credit losses, any difference between the security’s estimated fair value and net amortized cost is recorded to net unrealized gains (losses) on AFS securities within OCI. If we intend to sell an impaired AFS security, or more likely than not we will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, any allowance for credit losses is reversed and the amortized cost is written down to the security’s estimated fair value at the reporting date with any such impairment reported in earnings.

At December 31, 2017, 2016,2022 and 2021, certain of our AFS securities were in an unrealized loss position; however, we did not record an allowance for credit losses because those losses were considered temporary and we expected to recover the entire amortized cost basis on these securities at maturity based upon the following qualitative factors: (i) all securities were highly-rated, (ii) we have not experienced, nor do we expect, any payment defaults on the securities, (iii) the U.S., GSE, and other Agency obligations carry an explicit or 2015. Asimplicit government guarantee such that we consider the risk of December 31, 2017,nonpayment to be zero, and (iv) we had no intention of selling the AFSany of these securities in an unrealized loss position nor did we consider it more likely than not that we will be required to sell any of these securities before our anticipated recovery of each security's remaining amortized cost basis.

OTTI Evaluation ProcessRealized Gains and Results - Private-label RMBS and ABS. Losses. During the year ended December 31, 2022, for operational reasons, we sold a portion of our HTM MBS. Proceeds from the sales totaled $69,919, resulting in net realized losses of $(1,059) determined by the specific identification method. For each of these HTM securities, we had previously collected at least 85% of the principal outstanding at the time of acquisition. As described in Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, on a quarterly basis we evaluate our individual AFS and HTM investment securities for OTTI.

To ensure consistency insuch, the determination of OTTI for private-label RMBS and ABS, all FHLBanks use a common framework and formal governance process to determine and approve the key OTTI modeling assumptions usedsales were considered maturities for purposes of security classification.

Allowance for Credit Losses. At December 31, 2022 and 2021, 100% of our cash flow analysisHTM securities were rated single-A, or above, by an NRSRO, based on the lowest long-term credit rating for substantially alleach security. The NRSRO ratings may differ from any internal ratings of these securities.the securities, if applicable.


Our evaluation includesHTM securities are evaluated for expected credit losses on a projectioncollective, or pooled, basis unless an individual assessment is deemed necessary, e.g. the securities do not possess similar risk characteristics. We consider several qualitative factors when evaluating the potential for credit losses on our HTM securities and, if deemed necessary, an allowance for credit losses is recorded.

At December 31, 2022 and 2021, we did not record an allowance for credit losses on any of future cash flowsour HTM securities based on the following qualitative factors: (i) all securities were highly-rated, (ii) we have not experienced, nor do we expect, any payment defaults on the securities, and (iii) the U.S., GSE, and other Agency obligations carry an assessmentexplicit or implicit government guarantee such that we consider the risk of the structure of each security and certain assumptions (some of which are determined based upon other assumptions) such as:nonpayment to be zero.

market interest rates;
expected housing price changes; and
based on underlying loan-level borrower and loan characteristics:
prepayment speed;
default rate; and
loss severity on the collateral supporting our security.

A significant modeling assumption is the forecast of future housing price changes for the relevant states and CBSAs, which are based upon an assessment of the individual housing markets. As currently defined, a CBSA must contain at least one urban area with a population of 10,000 or more people. The FHLBanks developed a short-term housing price forecast with projected changes ranging from a decrease of 5.0% to an increase of 12.0% over a twelve-month period. For the vast majority of markets, the changes range from an increase of 2.0% to an increase of 6.0%. Thereafter, a unique path is projected for each geographic area based on an internally developed framework derived from historical data.

The following table presents the other significant modeling assumptions used to determine the amount of credit loss recognized in earnings during the year ended December 31, 2017 on the two private-label RMBS for which an OTTI was determined to have occurred, as well as the related current credit enhancement.
  
Significant Modeling Assumptions

 Current Credit
Classification (1)
 Prepayment Rates Default Rates Loss Severities 
Enhancement (2)
Prime 9% 11% 26% %
Subprime (3)
 8% 40% 42% %

(1)
The classification (prime, Alt-A or subprime) is based on the model used to project the cash flows for the security, which may not be the same as the rating agency's classification at the time of origination.
(2)
Credit enhancement is defined as the percentage of subordinated tranches, excess spread, and over-collateralization, if any, in a security structure that will generally absorb losses before we will experience a loss on the security. A credit enhancement percentage of zero reflects a security that has no remaining credit support and is likely to have experienced an actual principal loss.
(3)
Modeling assumptions assume no payout from monoline bond insurers.

Our cash flow analysis uses two third-party models to assess whether the entire amortized cost basis of each of our private-label RMBS and ABS will be recovered. Since the projected cash flows are based on a number of assumptions and expectations, the results of these models can vary significantly with changes in those assumptions and expectations. The scenario of cash flows determined based on the model approach reflects a best estimate scenario.

The first third-party model considers borrower characteristics, collateral characteristics and the particular attributes of the loans underlying our securities, in conjunction with the assumptions.

The month-by-month projections of future loan performance derived from the first model are then input into a second model that allocates the projected loan level cash flows and losses to the various security classes in the securitization structure in accordance with its prescribed cash flow and loss allocation rules. In a securitization in which the credit enhancement for the senior securities is derived from the presence of subordinate securities, losses are generally allocated first to the subordinate securities until their principal balances are reduced to zero.

In performing the detailed cash flow analysis, we determine the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected, discounted at the security's effective yield. For variable-rate and hybrid private-label RMBS, we use the effective interest rate derived from a variable-rate index (e.g., 12-month LIBOR) plus the contractual spread, plus or minus a fixed spread adjustment. As the implied forward curve of the index changes over time, the effective interest rates derived from that index will also change over time.

Results of OTTI Evaluation Process - Private-label RMBS and ABS. As part of our evaluation as described in Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, we did not have any change in intent to sell, nor were we required to sell, any OTTI security during the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016, or 2015. Therefore, we performed a cash flow analysis to determine whether we expect to recover the entire amortized cost of each security. As a result of our cash flow analysis, we recognized credit losses of $207, $197, and $61 during the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016, and 2015, respectively. We determined that the unrealized losses on the remaining private-label RMBS and ABS were temporary as we expect to recover the entire amortized cost.

Securities are classified based on the originator's classification at the time of origination or based on the classification by the NRSROs upon issuance. Because there is no universally accepted definition of prime, Alt-A or subprime underwriting standards, such classifications are subjective.

Evaluation Process and Results - All Other AFS and HTM Securities.

Other U.S. and GSE Obligations and TVA Debentures. For other U.S. obligations, GSE obligations, and TVA debentures, we determined that, based on current expectations, the strength of the issuers' guarantees through direct obligations of or support from the United States government is sufficient to protect us from any losses. As a result, all of the gross unrealized losses as of December 31, 2017 are considered temporary.

Note 75 - Advances


We offer a wide range of fixed- and adjustable-rate advance products with differentvarious maturities, interest rates, payment characteristics and optionality. Adjustable-rate advances have interest rates that reset periodically at a fixed spread to SOFR, LIBOR or another specified index. Longer-term advances may be available subject to market conditions for both fixed-rate and adjustable-rate products.

We offer our members certain advances that provide them the right, at predetermined future dates, to call (i.e., prepay) the advance prior to maturity without incurring prepayment or termination fees. Borrowers typically exercise their call options for fixed-rate advances when interest rates decline. We also offer certain adjustable-rate advances that may be contractually prepaid by the borrower at the interest-rate reset date without incurring prepayment or termination fees. All other advances may only be prepaid by paying a fee that is sufficient to make us financially indifferent to the prepayment of the advance.

We also offer putable advances. Under the terms of a putable advance, we retain the right to extinguish or put the fixed-rate advance to the member on predetermined future dates and offer replacement funding at prevailingcurrent market rates, subject to certain conditions.

Credit Risk Exposure and Security TermsAdvance Concentrations. We lend to members according to Federal statutes, including the Bank Act. The Bank Act requires each FHLBank to hold, or have access to, collateral to fully secure its advances. At December 31, 20172022 and 2016,2021, our top five borrowers held 45%41% and 43%, respectively, of total advances outstanding at par. As securityOur top borrower at December 31, 2022 and 2021 held 12%.

Allowance for Credit Losses. Advances are evaluated for expected credit losses on a collective, or pooled, basis unless an individual assessment is deemed necessary, e.g. the advances do not possess similar risk characteristics.

Using a risk-based approach, we consider the amount and quality of the collateral pledged and the borrower's financial condition to thesebe the primary indicators of an advance's credit quality. We manage our exposure to advances outstanding through an integrated approach that generally includes establishing a credit limit for each borrower, and an ongoing review of each borrower's financial condition, coupled with conservative collateral/lending policies intended to limit the risk of loss while balancing the borrower's needs for a reliable source of funding. In addition, we lend to eligible borrowers in accordance with federal statutes and Finance Agency regulations. Specifically, we comply with the Bank Act, which requires us to obtain sufficient collateral to fully secure credit products. We evaluate and update our collateral guidelines, as necessary, based on current market conditions.

We accept certain investment securities, residential mortgage loans, deposits, and other real estate-related assets as collateral. In addition, certain members that qualify as CFIs are eligible to utilize expanded statutory collateral provisions for small business and agriculture loans. Under the Bank Act, our capital stock owned by our members serves as additional security. Collateral arrangements may vary depending upon borrower credit quality, financial condition and performance; borrowing capacity; and overall credit exposure to the borrower. As part of our risk-based approach, we also evaluate and determine whether a borrower may retain physical possession of the collateral pledged to us or must specifically deliver the collateral to us or our document custody agent.

Our evaluation of credit losses on advances utilizes a framework that considers the adequacy of the advances' associated collateral and the associated member's willingness and ability to pledge additional collateral to satisfy any current or anticipated future deficiency. Our agreements with borrowers we held, or had accessallow us, at any time and in our sole discretion, to require substitution of collateral, adjust the over-collateralization requirements applied to collateral, or refuse to make extensions of credit against any collateral. We also may require borrowers to pledge additional collateral regardless of whether the collateral would be eligible to originate a new extension of credit. Our agreements with our borrowers also afford us the right, in our sole discretion, to declare any borrower to be in default if we deem the Bank to be inadequately secured.

We determine the estimated value of the collateral required to secure each member's advances by applying collateral discounts, or haircuts, to the market value or UPB of the collateral, as applicable. At December 31, 2022 and 2021, we had rights to collateral on a borrower-by-borrower basis with an estimated fairlendable value at December 31, 2017 and 2016 that was wellequal to or in excess of theour advances outstandingoutstanding.

At December 31, 2022 and 2021, we did not have any advances that were past due, on those dates, respectively. See Note 9 - Allowance for Credit Lossesfor informationnon-accrual status, or considered impaired. In addition, there were no troubled debt restructurings related to advances during the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, or 2020.

Conventional MPP.Our management of credit risk considers the several layers of loss protection that are defined in our agreements with the PFIs. Our loss protection consists of the following loss layers, in order of priority, (i) borrower equity; (ii) PMI up to sellcoverage limits (when applicable for the acquisition of mortgages with an initial LTV ratio of over 80% at the time of purchase); (iii) available funds remaining in the LRA; and (iv) SMI coverage (as applicable) purchased by the seller from a 90% participating interest in a $100 million MCC of certain newly acquired MPP loansthird-party provider naming the Bank as the beneficiary, up to the FHLBank of Atlanta. Principal amounts settled in December 2016 totaled $72 million, andpolicy limits. Any losses not absorbed by the remaining $18 million settled in January 2017.loss protection are borne by the Bank.


See Note 9 - Allowance for Credit Losses for information related to our credit risk on mortgage loans and allowance methodology for loan losses.

Note 9 - Allowance for Credit Losses

We have established a methodology to determine the allowance for credit losses for each of our portfolio segments: credit products (advances, letters of credit, and other extensions of credit to members); term securities purchased under agreements to resell and term federal funds sold; government-guaranteed or -insured mortgage loans held for portfolio; and conventional mortgage loans held for portfolio.

Credit Products. We manage our exposure to credit products through an integrated approach that generally includes establishing a credit limit for each borrower, and an ongoing review of each borrower's financial condition, coupled with conservative collateral/lending policies to limit the risk of loss while balancing the borrower's needs for a reliable source of funding. In addition, we lend to eligible borrowers in accordance with federal statutes and Finance Agency regulations. Specifically, we comply with the Bank Act, which requires us to obtain sufficient collateral to fully secure credit products. We evaluate and update our collateral guidelines, as necessary, based on current market conditions.

We accept certain investment securities, residential mortgage loans, deposits, and other real estate-related assets as collateral. In addition, certain members that qualify as CFIs are eligible to utilize expanded statutory collateral provisions for small business and agriculture loans. Under the Bank Act, our members' capital stock in our Bank serves as additional security. Collateral arrangements may vary depending upon borrower credit quality, financial condition and performance; borrowing capacity; and overall credit exposure to the borrower. To ensure that we are sufficiently protected, we evaluate and determine whether a member may retain physical possession of its collateral that is pledged to us or must specifically deliver the collateral to us or our safekeeping agent. We perfect our security interest in all pledged collateral and we can also require additional or substitute collateral to protect our security interest.

We determine the estimated value of the collateral required to secure each member's credit products by applying collateral discounts, or haircuts, to the market value or UPB of the collateral, as applicable. Using a risk-based approach, we consider the amount and quality of the collateral pledged and the borrower's financial condition to be the primary indicators of credit quality on the borrower's credit products. At December 31, 2017 and 2016, we had rights to collateral on a borrower-by-borrower basis with an estimated value in excess of our outstanding extensions of credit.

At December 31, 2017 and 2016, we did not have any credit products that were past due, on non-accrual status, or considered impaired. In addition, there were no TDRs related to credit products during the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016, or 2015.

Based upon the collateral held as security, our credit extension and collateral policies, our credit analysis and the repayment history on credit products, we have not recorded any allowance for credit losses on credit products, and no liability was recorded to reflect an allowance for credit losses for off-balance sheet credit exposures. For additional information about off-balance sheet credit exposure, see Note 20 - Commitments and Contingencies.

Term Securities Purchased Under Agreements to Resell and Term Federal Funds Sold. These assets generally have maturities ranging from 1 to 270 days. Given their short-term nature and the credit quality of the counterparties, credit risk is minimal and, as such, we have not established an allowance for credit losses for these products.

Government-Guaranteed or -Insured MortgageLoans.We invest inThese fixed-rate mortgage loans that are guaranteed or insured by the FHA, Department of Veterans Affairs, Rural Housing Service of the Department of Agriculture, or HUD.United States Department of Housing and Urban Development. The servicer provides and maintains a guaranty or insurance from the applicable government agency. The servicer is responsible for compliance with all government agency requirements and for obtaining the benefit of the applicable guaranty or insurance with respect to defaulted government-guaranteed or -insured mortgage loans. Any losses incurred on these loans that are not recovered from the insurer or guarantor are absorbed by the servicers. Therefore, we did not establish an allowance for credit losses for government-guaranteed or -insured mortgage loans at December 31, 2017 or 2016.


Conventional Mortgage Loans. We invest in conventional mortgage loans primarily through the MPP. Additionally, we hold participating interests in conventional mortgage loans that were originated by PFIs of the FHLBank of Topeka through the MPF Program.

Conventional MPP.Our management of credit risk considers the several layers of loss protection that are defined in our agreements with the PFIs. Our loss protection consists of the following loss layers, in order of priority, (i) borrower equity; (ii) PMI up to coverage limits (when applicable for the acquisition of mortgages with an initial LTV ratio of over 80% at the time of purchase); (iii) available funds remaining in the LRA; and (iv) SMI coverage (as applicable) purchased by the seller from a third-party provider naming the Bank as the beneficiary, up to the policy limits. Any losses not absorbed by the loss protection are borne by the Bank.

For conventional mortgage loans under our original MPP, credit enhancement is provided through allocating a portion of the periodic interest payments on the loans into an LRA. In addition, the PFI selling conventional loans to us is required to purchase SMI, paid through periodic interest payments, as an enhancement to cover credit losses over and above those covered by the LRA, but the covered losses are limited to the terms of the policy.

Beginning with MPP Advantage, we discontinued the use of SMI for all loan purchases and replaced it with a fixed LRA. The fixed LRA is funded with a portion of each loan's purchase proceeds.

Allowance for Credit Losses. We apply a systematic approach for estimating expected credit losses on our bestconventional mortgage loans over their estimated remaining lives through analyses that include, among other considerations, various loan portfolio and collateral-related characteristics, past loan performance, historical and current economic conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts of expected economic conditions.

We estimate of probableexpected losses overon our conventional mortgage loans on a collective basis, pooling loans with similar risk characteristics. If a mortgage loan no longer shares risk characteristics with other loans, it is removed from the loss emergence period. We use thepool and evaluated for expected losses on an individual basis. In addition, we individually evaluate all troubled debt restructurings, any remaining exposure to delinquent conventional MPP portfolio's delinquency migration (movement of loans paid in full by servicers, and collateral-dependent loans. Loans are considered collateral-dependent when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and repayment is expected to be substantially through the various stagessale of delinquency) to determine whetherthe underlying collateral. We estimate expected losses on collateral-dependent loans by applying a practical expedient that considers the expected loss event is probable. Onceof a loss event is deemedcollateral-dependent loan to be probable, we utilize a systematic methodology that incorporates all credit enhancementsequal to the difference between the amortized cost of the loan and servicer advances to establishthe estimated fair value of the collateral, less estimated selling costs.

When determining the allowance for loan losses. Althoughcredit losses, we do not reserve for any estimatedconsider how credit enhancements are expected to mitigate credit losses that would be recovered fromand then reduce the allowance accordingly because the credit enhancements as part of the estimate of the recoverable credit enhancements, we evaluate the recovery and collectability of amounts under our PMI/SMI policies.

Conventional MPF Program.Our management of credit riskare entered into in the MPF Program considers the several layers of loss protection that are defined in agreements among the FHLBank of Topeka and its PFIs. The availability of loss protection may differ slightly among MPF products. The loss layers, in order of priority, are (i) borrower equity; (ii) PMI, (when applicable forconjunction with the purchase of mortgages with an initial LTV ratioa loan and cannot be both legally detached and separately exercised.

($ amounts in excess of the FLA in order to limit our loss exposure to that of an investor in an MBS deemed to be investment-grade. Any losses not absorbed by the loss protection are shared among the participating FHLBanks based upon the applicable percentage of participation.thousands unless otherwise indicated)


PFIs retain a portion of the credit risk on the loans they sell by providing credit enhancement through a direct liability to pay credit losses up to a specified amount. PFIs are paid a CE fee for assuming credit risk and, in some instances, all or a portion of the CE fee may be performance-based. To the extent the Bank is responsible for losses in a pool, it may be able to recapture CE fees paid to that PFI to offset those losses. All CE fees are paid monthly based on the remaining UPB of the loans in a pool.

The allowance for MPF Program conventional loans is determined by analyzing the portfolio's delinquency migration and charge-offs over a historical period to determine the probability of default and loss severity rates. The analysis of conventional loans evaluated for impairment (i) considers loan pool-specific attribute data; (ii) applies estimated default probabilities and loss severities; and (iii) incorporates the applicable credit enhancements in order to determine our best estimate of probable losses.

Collectively Evaluated Mortgage Loans.

MPP. For performing conventional Conventional loans current to 179 days past due andare collectively evaluated for impairment, we useat the pool level using a recognized third-party credit and prepayment model, which considers both historical and current information and events and reasonable and supportable forecasts that rely upon certain key inputs and assumptions, to estimate potential ranges of credit loss exposure. The loss projectionexposure over the estimated lives of the loans. One such key input is a 3-year forecast of housing prices with a 2-year gradual transition to full reversion to historical inputs after 5 years. Additionally, the evaluation is based upon distinct underlying loan characteristics, including loan vintage (year of origination), geographic location, credit support features and other factors, and a projected migration of loans through the various stages of delinquency.


ForSeriously delinquent conventional loans past due 180 days or more past due and not charged-off are also collectively evaluated for impairment, we evaluateat the poolspool level based on currentloan-specific attribution data, including the use of loan-level property values from a third-party.

Individually Evaluated Mortgage Loans.Certain conventional mortgage loans, primarily troubled debt restructurings, are specifically identified and historical information and events. This loan loss analysis incorporates third-party modeled values and considers MPP pool-specific attribute data, estimated liquidation valuesevaluated for purposes of real estate collateral held, estimated costs associated with maintaining and disposing of the collateral, and credit enhancements.

MPF Program. Our loan loss analysis includes collectively evaluating conventional loans for impairment within each pool. The measurement ofdetermining the allowance for loan losses consists of (i) evaluating homogeneous pools of current and delinquent mortgage loans; and (ii) estimating credit losses in the pool based upon the default probability ratios, loss severity rates, FLAs and CE obligations. Additional analyses include consideration of various data observations such as past performance, current performance, loan portfolio characteristics, collateral-related characteristics, industry data and prevailing economic conditions.

losses. The measurement of our allowance for loans individually evaluated for lossloans considers loan-specific attribution data similar to homogeneous pools of delinquent loans evaluated on a collective basis, including the use of loan-level property values from a third-party.


We also individually evaluate any remaining exposure to delinquent MPP conventional loans paid in full by the servicers. An estimate of the loss, if any, is equal to the estimated cost associated with maintaining and disposing of the property (which includes the UPB, interest owed on the delinquent loan to date, and estimated costs associated with disposing of the collateral) less the estimated fair value of the collateral (net of estimated selling costs) and the amount of credit enhancements including the PMI, LRA and SMI. The estimated fair value of the collateral is obtained from HUDUnited States Department of Housing and Urban Development statements, sales listings or other evidence of current expected liquidation amounts.


Individually Evaluated Impaired Loans. The tables below present the conventional loans individually evaluated for impairment with and without an allowance for loan losses. Due to the minimal change in terms of modified loans (i.e., no principal forgiven), our pre-modification recorded investment in TDRs was not materially different than the post-modification recorded investment.

The recorded investment in a loan is the UPB of the loan, adjusted for accrued interest, net of any deferred loan fees or costs, unamortized premiums or discounts (which may include the basis adjustment related to any gain or loss on a delivery commitment prior to being funded) and direct charge-offs. The recorded investment is not net of any valuation allowance.
(2)
Includes loans for which the decision of foreclosure or similar alternative, such as pursuit of deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, has been reported. Loans in process of foreclosure are included in past due categories depending on their delinquency status, but are not necessarily considered to be on non-accrual status.

Represents loans 90 days or more past due (including loans in process of foreclosure) expressed as a percentage of the total recorded investment in mortgage loans. The percentage excludes principal and interest amounts previously paid in full by the servicers on conventional loans that are pending resolution of potential loss claims. Our servicers repurchase seriously delinquent government loans, including FHA loans, when certain criteria are met.
(4)
Although our past due scheduled/scheduled MPP loans are classified as loans past due 90 days or more based on the mortgagor's payment status, we do not consider these loans to be on non-accrual status.

Government-Guaranteed or -Insured Mortgage Loans. Based on the U.S. government guarantee or insurance on these loans, our assessment of our servicers, and the collateral backing the loans, we did not record an allowance for credit losses for government-guaranteed or -insured mortgage loans at December 31, 2022 or 2021. Furthermore, none of these mortgage loans have been placed on non-accrual status due to the U.S. government guarantee or insurance on these loans and the contractual obligation of the loan servicer to repurchase the loans when certain criteria are met.

Note 118 - Derivatives and Hedging Activities


Nature of Business Activity. We are exposed to interest-rate risk primarily from the effect of changes in market interest rates on our interest-earning assets and on our interest-bearing liabilities that finance those assets. The goal of our interest-rate risk management strategies is not to eliminate interest-rate risk, but to manage it within appropriate limits. To mitigate the risk of loss, we have established policies and procedures, which include guidelines on the amountextent of exposure to changes in interest rate changesrates that we are willing to accept. In addition, we monitor the risk to our interest income, net interest margin and average maturity of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.

Consistent with Finance Agency regulation, we enter into derivatives to (i) manage the interest-rate risk exposures inherent in our otherwise unhedged assets and funding positions, (ii) achieve our risk management objectives, and (iii) act as an intermediary between our members and counterparties. Finance Agency regulation and our Capital Markets Policy prohibit trading in, or the speculative use of, these derivative instruments and limit credit risk arising from these instruments. However, the use of derivatives is an integral part of our financial management strategy.


We use derivative financial instruments when they are considered to be the most cost-effective alternative to achieve our financial and risk management objectives. The most common ways in which we use derivatives are to:


reduce the interest-rate sensitivity and repricing gaps of assets and liabilities;
protect the value of existing asset and liability positions or of commitments and forecasted transactions;
mitigate the adverse earnings effects of the shortening or extension of the duration of certain assets (e.g., advances or mortgage assets) and liabilities;
reduce funding costs by executing a derivative concurrently with the issuance of a consolidated obligation as the cost of a combined funding structure can be lower than the cost of a comparable CO bond;
reduce the interest-rate sensitivity and repricing gaps of assets and liabilities;
preserve a favorable interest-rate spread between the yield of an asset (e.g., an advance) and the cost of the related liability (e.g., CO bond used to fund advance);
mitigate the adverse earnings effects of the shortening or extension of the duration of certain assets (e.g., advances or mortgage assets) and liabilities;
protect the value of existing asset and liability positions or of commitments and forecasted transactions;
manage embedded options in assets and liabilities; and
manage our overall asset/liability structure.


We reevaluate our hedging strategies from time to time and, consequently, we may adopt new strategies or change our hedging techniques. However, Finance Agency regulation and our risk management policies prohibit trading in, or the speculative use of, these derivative instruments and limit credit risk arising from these instruments.

We transact most of our derivatives with large banks and major broker-dealers. Some of these banks and broker-dealers or their affiliates buy, sell, and distribute consolidated obligations. We are not a derivatives dealer and thus do not trade derivatives for short-term profit. Over-the-counter derivativeDerivative transactions may be either executed with a counterparty over-the-counter (uncleared derivatives) or cleared through a Futures Commission Merchant (i.e., clearing agent) with a clearinghouseClearinghouse (cleared derivatives).

Types of Derivatives. We use the following types of derivative instrumentsinstruments.

Interest-Rate Swaps. We use interest-rate swaps to reduce funding costs and to manage our exposure to interest-rate risks inherenthedge the risk of changes in the normal coursefair value of business.

Interest-Rate Swaps. An interest-rate swap is an agreement between two entitiescertain of our assets and liabilities due to exchange cash flowschanges in the future. The agreement sets forth the manner in which the cash flows will be determined and the dates on which they will be paid. One of the simplest forms of interest-rate swap involves the promise by one party to pay cash flows equivalent to themarket interest on a notional amount at a predetermined fixed rate for a given period of time. In return for this promise, the party receives cash flows equivalent to the interest on the same notional amount at a variable-rate index for the same period of time.rates. The variable rate we receive or pay in most interest-rate swaps is currently indexed to LIBOR.LIBOR, EFFR, or SOFR.


Interest-Rate Cap and Floor Agreements. In an interest-rate cap agreement, a cash flow is generated if the price or rate of an underlying variable rises above a certain threshold (or "cap") price. In an interest-rate floor agreement, a cash flow is generated if the price or rate of an underlying variable falls below a certain threshold (or "floor") price. Caps may be used in conjunction with liabilities, We use caps and floors may be used in conjunction with assets. Caps and floors are designed to protect against the interest raterates on a variable-rate assetassets or liabilityliabilities falling below or rising above a certain level.levels.


Interest-Rate Swaptions. A swaption is an option on a swap that gives the buyer the right, but not the obligation, We utilize payer or receiver swaptions to enter into a specified interest-rate swap with the following agreed upon terms with the seller: option premium, time until expiration, fixed vs. floating rates, and notional amount. When used as a hedge, a swaption can protect the buyer against sudden adverse moves in interest rates. To protect against the adverse effects of a sudden decreaseincreases or decreases in interest rates, a receiver swaption may be utilized in which the buyer has the optionrespectively.

Forward Contracts. We normally sell TBA MBS or other derivatives for forward settlement to enter into a swap to receive the fixed rate and pay the floating rate. To protect against changes in the adverse effectsmarket values of a sudden increasefixed-rate MDCs resulting from changes in market interest rates, a payer swaption may be utilized in which the buyer has the option to enter into a swap to pay the fixed rate and receive the floating rate.rates.


Forward Contracts.Forward contracts give the buyer the right to buy or sell a specific type of asset at a specific time at a given price. We may use forward contracts in order to hedge interest-rate risk. For example, certain MDCs entered into by us are considered derivatives. We may hedge these MDCs by selling TBAs for forward settlement.

Types of Hedged Items. We document at inception all relationships between the derivatives designated as hedging instruments and the hedged items, our risk management objectives and strategies for undertaking various hedge transactions, and our method of assessing effectiveness. This process includes linking all derivatives that are designated as fair-value hedges to (i) assets and liabilities on the statements of condition, or (ii) firm commitments. We also formally assess (both at the hedge's inception and at least quarterly), using regression analyses, whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions have been effective in offsetting changes in the fair value of the hedged items attributable to the hedged risk and whether those derivatives may be expected to remain effective in future periods. We have the following types of hedged items:


Investments.We primarily invest in agencyAgency MBS, U.S. Treasury obligations, and GSE and TVA debentures, which may be classified as trading, HTM or AFS securities. The interest-rate, prepayment and prepaymentduration risks associated with these investment securities are managed through a combination of debt issuance and derivatives. We may manage the prepayment, interest-rate and durationthose risks by funding these investment securities with consolidated obligationsCO bonds that contain call features or by hedgingfeatures. We may also hedge the prepayment risk with caps or floors, callable swaps or swaptions. We may also manage the risk and volatility arising from changing market prices of investment securities by matching the cash outflowoutflows on the derivatives with the cash inflowinflows on the investment securities. On occasion, we may holdCertain of these derivatives that are associated with HTM securities andqualify as fair-value hedges while others are designated as economic hedges. Derivatives associated with AFS securities may qualify as a fair-value hedge or be designated as an economic hedge.

Advances.We offer a wide range of fixedfixed- and variable-rateadjustable-rate advance products with differentvarious maturities, interest rates, payment characteristics, and optionality. We may use derivatives to manage the repricing and/or options characteristics of advances in order to more closely match the characteristics of our funding liabilities. In general, whenever a member executes a fixed-rate advance or an adjustable-rate advance with embedded options, we may simultaneously execute a derivative with terms that offset the terms and embedded options in the advance. For example, we may hedge a fixed-rate advance with an interest-rate swap where we pay a fixed-ratefixed rate and receive a variable-ratevariable rate, effectively converting the fixed-rate advance to an adjustable-rate advance. This type of hedge is typically treated as a fair-value hedge. In addition, we may hedge a callable, prepayable or putable advance by entering into a cancellable interest-rate swap.


Mortgage Loans.We invest in fixed-rate mortgage loans. The prepayment options embedded in these mortgage loans can result in extensions or contractions in the expected repayment of these loans, depending on changes in prepayment speeds. We manage the interest-rate and prepayment risks associated with mortgage loans through a combination of debt issuance and derivatives. We issue both callable and noncallable debt and prepayment-linked consolidated obligations to achieve cash flow patterns and liability durations similar to those expected on the mortgage loans. Interest-rate swaps, to the extent the payments on the mortgages loans result in a simultaneous reduction of the notional amount of the swaps, may qualify for fair-value hedge accounting.

We may also purchase interest-rate caps and floors, swaptions, callable swaps, calls, and puts to minimize the prepayment risk embedded in the loans. Although theseThese derivatives are validconsidered economic hedges against the prepayment risk of the loans, but they are not specifically linked to individual loans and, therefore, do not qualify for fair-value hedge accounting. These derivatives are marked to market value through earnings.loans.


Consolidated Obligations.We may enter into derivatives to hedge the interest-rate risk associated with our debt issues.issuances. We manage the risk and volatility arising from changing market prices of a consolidated obligationobligations by matching the cash inflowinflows on the derivativederivatives with the cash outflowoutflows on the consolidated obligation.obligations.


In a typical transaction, we issue a fixed-rate consolidated obligation and simultaneously enter into a matching derivative in which the counterparty pays fixed cash flows to us designed to match in timing and amount the cash outflows we pay on the consolidated obligation. In turn, we pay a variable cash flow to the counterparty that closely matches the interest payments we receive on short-term or variable-rate advances (typically one- or three-month LIBOR).advances. These transactions are typically treated as fair-value hedges. Additionally, we may issue variable-rate CO bonds indexed to LIBOR,SOFR or the United States prime rate, or federal funds rate and simultaneously execute interest-rate swaps to hedge the basis risk of the variable-rate debt.

Firm Commitments.In connection with our purchases of mortgage loans, we enter into MDCs. Certain MDCs entered into by us are considered derivatives. We normally hedge these commitments by selling TBA MBS or other derivatives for forward settlement. The MDC and the TBA used in the firm commitment hedging strategy are treated as an economic hedge and are marked to marketfair value through earnings. When the MDC derivative settles, the current marketfair value of the commitment is included with the basis of the mortgage loan and amortized accordingly.


Managing Credit Risk on Derivatives. We are subject to credit risk due to the risk of nonperformance by the counterparties to our derivative transactions. We manage counterparty credit risk through credit analysis, collateral requirements and adherence to the requirements set forth in our policies, CFTCthe United States Commodity Futures Trading Commission regulations, and Finance Agency regulations. See Note 19 - Estimated Fair Values for discussion regarding our fair value methodology for derivative assets and liabilities, including an evaluation of the potential for the estimated fair value of these instruments to be affected by counterparty credit risk.


Uncleared Derivatives. For uncleared derivatives, the degree of credit risk depends on the extent to which master netting arrangements are included in such contracts to mitigate the risk. We require collateral agreements with our uncleared derivatives. The exposure thresholds above which collateral must be delivered vary; the threshold is zero in somemost cases. Additionally, collateral related to derivatives with member institutions includes collateral assigned to us as evidenced by a written security agreement and held by the member institution for our benefit.

For certain of our uncleared derivatives, we have credit support agreements that contain provisions requiring us to post additional collateral with our counterparties if there is deterioration in our credit rating. If our credit rating is lowered by an NRSRO, we could be required to deliver additional collateral on uncleared derivative instruments in net liability positions. The aggregate estimated fair value of allThere were no uncleared derivative instruments with credit-risk-related contingent features that were in a net liability position (before cash collateral and related accrued interest on cash collateral) at December 31, 2017 was $644, for which we have posted collateral, including accrued interest, with an estimated fair value of $34 in the normal course of business. In addition, we held other derivative instruments in a net liability position of $49 that are not subject to credit support agreements containing credit-risk related contingent features. If our credit rating had been lowered by an NRSRO (from an S&P equivalent of AA+ to AA), we would not have been required to deliver additional collateral to our uncleared derivative counterparties at December 31, 2017.2022.


Cleared Derivatives. For cleared derivatives, the clearinghouseClearinghouse is our counterparty. We use LCHLCH.Clearnet LLC and CME Clearing as clearinghousesClearinghouses for all cleared derivative transactions. Collateral is required to be posted daily for changes in the value of cleared derivatives to mitigate each counterparty's credit risk. The clearinghouseClearinghouse notifies the clearing agent of the required initial and variation margin, and the clearing agent notifies us. The requirement that we post initial and variation margin through the clearing agent for the benefit of the clearinghouseClearinghouse exposes us to institutional credit risk in the event that the clearing agent or clearinghouseClearinghouse fails to meet its obligations.


Effective January 3, 2017, CME made certain amendments to its rulebook, including changing the legal characterization ofAt both Clearinghouses, initial margin is considered cash collateral and variation margin payments to be daily settled contracts, rather than cash collateral. Variation margin payments related to LCH contracts wereis characterized as cash collateral until January 16, 2018, when LCH changed the characterization of variation margin payments to bea daily settled contracts, consistent with CME. Initial margin continues to be considered by both clearinghouses as cash collateral.settlement payment.


The clearinghouseClearinghouse determines margin requirements which are generally not based on credit ratings. However, clearing agents may require additional margin to be posted by us based on credit considerations, including but not limited to any credit rating downgrades. At December 31, 2017,2022, we were not required by our clearing agents to post any additional margin.

Financial Statement Effect and Additional Financial Information.


Derivative Notional Amounts.The notional amount of derivatives serves as a factor in determining periodic interest payments, or cash flows received and paid. The notional amount of derivatives also reflects the extent of our involvement in the various classes of financial instruments but represents neither the actual amounts exchanged nor our overall exposure to credit and market risk; the overall risk is much smaller. The risks of derivatives can be measured meaningfully on a portfolio basis that takes into account the counterparties, the types of derivatives, the items being hedged and any offsets between the derivatives and the items being hedged. hedged items.

We record derivative instruments, related cash collateral received or pledged/posted and associated accrued interest on a net basis, by clearing agent and/or by counterparty when the netting requirements have been met.

The following table presents the notional amount and estimated fair value of derivative assets and liabilities.

Note 129 - DepositsDeposit Liabilities


We offer demand and overnight deposits to members and qualifying non-members. In addition, we offer short-term interest-bearing deposit programs to members. A member that services mortgage loans may deposit funds collected in connection with the mortgage loans, pending disbursement of such funds to the owners of the mortgage loans. We classify these items as other deposits.


Demand, overnight, and other deposits pay interest based on a daily interest rate. Time deposits pay interest based on a fixed rate determined at the origination of the deposit. The WAIR paid on interest-bearing deposits was 0.86%, 0.12% and 0.01% during the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Note 1310 - Consolidated Obligations


Consolidated obligations consist of CO bonds and discount notes. CO bonds may be issued to raise short, intermediateshort-, intermediate- and long-term funds for the FHLBanks and are not subject to any statutory or regulatory limits on maturity. Discount notes are issued primarily to raise short-term funds and have original maturities of up to one year.year. These notes generally sell at less than their face amount and are redeemed at par value when they mature.


The FHLBanks issue consolidated obligations through the Office of Finance as ourtheir agent under the oversight of the Finance Agency and the United States Secretary of the Treasury. In connection with each debt issuance, each FHLBank specifies the amount of debt to be issued on its behalf. Each FHLBank records as a liability the specific portion of consolidated obligations issued on its behalf and for which it is the primary obligor.


In addition to being the primary obligor for all consolidated obligations issued on our behalf, we are jointly and severally liable with each of the other FHLBanks for the payment of the principal and interest on all FHLBank outstandingof the FHLBanks' consolidated obligations.obligations outstanding. The par values of the FHLBanks' outstanding consolidated obligations outstanding at December 31, 20172022 and 20162021 totaled $1.0$1.2 trillionand $989.3$652.9 billion,, respectively. As provided by the Bank Act and applicableFinance Agency regulations, consolidated obligations are backed only by the financial resources of all FHLBanks.


The Finance Agency, in its discretion, may require any FHLBank to make principal or interest payments due on any consolidated obligation whether or not the consolidated obligation represents a primary liability of that FHLBank. Although an FHLBank has never paid the principal or interest payments due on a consolidated obligation on behalf of another FHLBank, if that event should occur, Finance Agency regulations provide that the paying FHLBank is entitled to reimbursement for any payments made on behalf of another FHLBank and other associated costs, including interest to be determined by the Finance Agency. If, however, the Finance Agency determines that such other FHLBank is unable to satisfy its repayment obligations to the paying FHLBank, then the Finance Agency may allocate the outstanding liability of such other FHLBank among the remaining FHLBanks on a pro-rata basis in proportion to their participation in all outstanding consolidated obligations, or in any other manner it may determine to ensure that the FHLBanks operate in a safe and sound manner. We do not believe that it is probable that we will be asked or required to make principal or interest payments on behalf of another FHLBank.

Consolidated obligations are issued with either fixed-rate or variable-rate coupon payment terms that may use a variety of indices for interest-rate resets, such as LIBOR.SOFR or the United States prime rate. To meet the specific needs of certain investors in CO bonds, both fixed-rate and variable-rate CO bonds may contain features that result in complex coupon payment terms and call options. When these CO bonds are issued, we may enter into derivatives containing features that offset the terms and embedded options, if any, of the CO bonds.


CO bonds may also be callable. Such bonds may be redeemed in whole or in part, at our discretion, on predetermined call dates according to the terms of the offerings.

Note 1411 - Affordable Housing Program


The Bank Act requires each FHLBank to establish an AHP, in which the FHLBank provides subsidies in the form of direct grants and below-market-rate advances to members that use the funds to assist in the purchase, construction, or rehabilitation of housing for very low-, low-, and moderate-income households. Annually, the FHLBanks must set aside for the AHP the greater of the aggregate of $100$100 million or 10% of each FHLBank's net earnings. For purposes of the AHP calculation, net earnings is defined in a Finance Agency Advisory Bulletin as income before assessments, plus interest expense related to MRCS.


Our required AHP expense in 2022, 2021, and 2020 was $19,876, $10,720, and $10,717, respectively.

Additionally, in 2022, we voluntarily contributed $4,159 to our AHP, which is reported in other expenses.

The following table summarizes the activity in our AHP funding obligation.

Note 1512 - Capital

We are a financial cooperative whose member and former member institutions (or legal successors) own all of our outstanding capital stock. Former members (including certain non-member institutions that own our capital stock as a result of a merger with or acquisition of a member) own our capital stock solely to support credit products or mortgage loans still outstanding on our statement of condition.

Member shares cannot be purchased or sold except between us and our members or, with our written approval, among our members, at the par value of one hundred dollars per share, as mandated by our capital plan and Finance Agency regulation.


Classes of Capital Stock. Our capital plan divides our Class B stock into two sub-series: Class B-1 and Class B-2. Class B-1 stock is held by our members to satisfy their membership stock requirements, while Class B-2 stock consists solely ofis held to satisfy their activity-based stock requirements. A member's Class B-1 stock is reclassified as B-2 as needed to help fulfill the member's activity-based stock requirement, and the member may be required stock that is subject to a redemption request. Thepurchase additional Class B-2 dividend is presently calculated at 80% ofstock to fully meet that requirement. Any excess stock (i.e., the amount of stock held by a member or former member in excess of the stock ownership requirement for that institution) is automatically classified as Class B-1 dividend; this ratio can only be changedB-1.

The following table presents the capital stock outstanding by amendment of oursub-series.

Capital Stock Sub-SeriesDecember 31, 2022December 31, 2021
Class B-1$535,345 $931,517 
Class B-21,587,780 1,314,684 
Total Class B$2,123,125 $2,246,201 

Our capital plan by ouralso permits the board of directors with approvalto authorize the issuance of Class A stock although, as of December 31, 2022, the Finance Agency.board of directors had not authorized such issuance. If authorized, a member may elect to purchase Class A stock, rather than Class B-2 stock, to satisfy the member’s activity-based stock requirement, subject to certain restrictions.


Dividends. Our board of directors may, but is not required to, declare and pay dividends on our Class B stock in either cash or capital stock or a combination thereof, as long as we are in compliance with Finance Agency rules.regulations. The amount of the dividend to be paid is based on the average number of shares of each sub-series held by the member during the dividend payment period (applicable quarter).



Our capital plan does not mandate a specific difference between Class B-1 and Class B-2 dividend rates. Rather, the board of directors may declare a dividend rate on Class B-2 stock that is equal to or greater than the rate on Class B-1 stock. The plan also authorizes the board of directors to declare a dividend rate on Class A stock (if issued and outstanding) that is equal to or greater than the rate on Class B-1 stock.

Stock Redemption and Repurchase. In accordance with the Bank Act, our Class Bcapital stock is considered putable by the member. Members can redeem Class B stock, subject to certain restrictions, by giving five years' written notice. Members can redeem Class A stock, subject to certain restrictions, by giving six months written notice. Any member that withdraws from membership or otherwise has had its membership terminated may not be readmitted as a member for a period of five years from the divestiture date for all capital stock that was held as a condition of membership, as set forth in our capital plan and Finance Agency regulations, unless the member has canceled or revoked its notice of withdrawal prior to the end of the five-yearapplicable redemption period. This restriction does not apply if the member is transferring its membership from one FHLBank to another on an uninterrupted basis.


We are not required to redeem a member's required capital stock until the expiration of the notice of redemption, or until the activity to which the capital stock relates no longer remains outstanding, whichever is later. However, we may repurchase, at our sole discretion, any member's Class Bcapital stock that exceeds the required minimum amount. However, there areamount, subject to significant statutory and regulatory restrictions on our right to repurchase, or obligation to redeem, the outstanding stock. As a result, whether or not a member may have its Class Bcapital stock repurchased or redeemed will depend, in part, on whether we are in compliance with those restrictions.


Consistent with our capital plan, we are not required



Notes to redeem activity-based stock until the expiration of the notice of redemption, or until the activity to which the capital stock relates no longer remains outstanding, whichever is later. If activity-based stock becomes excess stock (i.e.Financial Statements, the amount of stock held by a member or former membercontinued
($ amounts in excess of our stock ownership requirement for that institution) as a result of an activity no longer remaining outstanding, wemay redeem the excess stock at our discretion, subject to the statutory and regulatory restrictions on capital stock redemption.thousands unless otherwise indicated)


A member may cancel or revoke its written notice of redemption or its notice of withdrawal from membership prior to the five-yearconclusion of the applicable redemption period. However, our capital plan provides that we willmay charge a cancellation fee to a member that cancels or revokes its withdrawal notice. Our board of directors may change the cancellation fee with at least 15 days prior written notice to members.


At December 31, 2017 and 2016, certain members had requested redemptions of their Class B stock, but the related stock totaling $5,144 at December 31, 2017 and 2016 was not considered mandatorily redeemable and reclassified to MRCS because the requesting members may revoke their requests, without substantial penalty, throughout the five-year waiting period. Therefore, these requests are not considered sufficiently substantive in nature. However, we consider redemption requests related to merger, acquisition or charter termination, as well as involuntary terminations from membership, to be sufficiently substantive when made and, therefore, the related stock is considered mandatorily redeemable and reclassified to MRCS.

Mandatorily Redeemable Capital Stock.When a member withdraws or otherwise attains non-member status, the member's shares are then subject to redemption and become mandatorily redeemable, resulting in a reclassification of the member's capital stock to a liability as MRCS at estimated fair value, which is equal to par value. The following table presents the activity in our MRCS.

As a result of, and effective with, the Final Membership Rule in February 2016, we reclassified all of the outstanding Class B stock of our captive insurance company members totaling $178,898 to MRCS.

In accordance with the Final Membership Rule, captive insurance companies that were admitted as FHLBank members on or after September 12, 2014 had their memberships terminated by February 19, 2017. As a result, all of their outstanding Class B stock, totaling $3,021 at December 31, 2016, was repurchased on or before February 19, 2017.

Captive insurance companies that were admitted as FHLBank members prior to September 12, 2014, and do not meet the new definition of "insurance company" or fall within another category of institution that is eligible for FHLBank membership, shall have their memberships terminated no later than February 19, 2021. Upon termination, their outstanding Class B stock will be repurchased or redeemed in accordance with the Final Membership Rule.

If a member's membership status changes to a non-member the member's capital stock is reclassified to MRCS. If such change occurs during a quarterly dividend period, but not at the beginning or the end of a quarterly period, any dividends for that quarterly period are allocated between distributions from retained earnings for the shares held as capital stock during that period and interest expense for the shares held as MRCS during that period. Therefore, the distributions from retained earnings represent dividends to former members for only the portion of the period that they were members. The amounts recorded to interest expense represent dividends to former members for the portion of that period and subsequent periods that they were not members.

Restricted Retained Earnings. In 2011, we entered into a JCE Agreement with all of the other FHLBanks to enhance the capital position of each FHLBank. In accordance with the JCE Agreement, we allocate 20% of our net income to a separate restricted retained earnings account until the balance of that account equals at least 1% of the average balance of our outstanding consolidated obligations for the previous quarter. These restricted retained earnings are not available from which to pay dividends except to the extent the restricted retained earnings balance exceeds 1.5% of the average balance of our outstanding consolidated obligations for the previous quarter.

Capital Requirements. We are subject to three capital requirements under our capital plan and Finance Agency regulations:


(i)Risk-based capital. We must maintain at all times permanent capital, defined as Class B stock (including MRCS) and retained earnings, in an amount at least equal to the sum of our credit risk, market risk, and operations risk capital requirements, all of which are calculated in accordance with Finance Agency regulations. The Finance Agency may require us to maintain a greater amount of permanent capital than is required by the risk-based capital requirements as defined.
(ii)Total regulatory capital. We are required to maintain at all times a total capital-to-assets ratio of at least 4%. Total regulatory capital is the sum of permanent capital, any general loss allowance, if consistent with GAAP and not established for specific assets, and other amounts from sources determined by the Finance Agency as available to absorb losses. For regulatory capital purposes, AOCI is not considered capital.
(iii)Leverage capital. We are required to maintain at all times a leverage capital-to-assets ratio of at least 5%. Leverage capital is defined as the sum of (i) permanent capital weighted 1.5 times and (ii) all other capital without a weighting factor.

(i)Risk-based capital. We must maintain at all times permanent capital, defined as Class B stock (including MRCS) and retained earnings, in an amount at least equal to the sum of our credit risk, market risk, and operational risk capital requirements, all of which are calculated in accordance with Finance Agency regulations. The Finance Agency may require us to maintain a greater amount of permanent capital than is required by the risk-based capital requirements as defined.
(ii)Total regulatory capital. We are required to maintain at all times a total capital-to-assets ratio of at least 4%. Total regulatory capital is the sum of permanent capital, any general loss allowance, if consistent with GAAP and not held against specific assets, and other amounts from sources determined by the Finance Agency as available to absorb losses. For regulatory capital purposes, AOCI is not considered capital.
(iii)Leverage capital. We are required to maintain at all times a leverage capital-to-assets ratio of at least 5%. Leverage capital is defined as the sum of (a) permanent capital weighted 1.5 times and (b) all other components of total capital.

As presented in the following table, we were in compliance with thethese Finance Agency's capital requirements at December 31, 20172022 and 2016.2021.

Partial Recovery of Prior Capital Distribution to Financing Corporation. The Competitive Equality Banking Act of 1987 was enacted in August 1987, which, among other things, provided for the recapitalization of the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation through a newly-chartered entity, FICO. The capitalization of FICO was provided by capital distributions from the FHLBanks to FICO in 1987, 1988 and 1989 that aggregated to $680 million in exchange for FICO nonvoting capital stock. Upon passage of the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989, the Bank's previous investment in capital stock of FICO was determined to be non-redeemable and, therefore, the Bank charged-off its prior capital distributions to FICO directly against retained earnings.

Upon the dissolution of FICO in October 2019, FICO determined that excess funds aggregating to $200 million were available for distribution to its sole stockholders, the FHLBanks. Specifically, the Bank received $10,574 during the year ended December 31, 2020 which was determined based on our proportionate ownership of FICO's nonvoting capital stock. The Bank treated the receipt of these funds as a partial recovery of the prior capital distributions made by the Bank to FICO. These funds were credited to unrestricted retained earnings.

Note 1714 - Employee and Director Retirement and Deferred Compensation Plans


Qualified Defined Contribution Plan.The Bank participated in a tax-qualified multiple-employer retirement savings plan through October 1, 2020. Effective October 2, 2020, the Bank adopted a tax-qualified single-employer plan. The terms of such plans are substantially the same.

This DC plan covers our officers and other employees who meet certain eligibility requirements. The Bank makes a matching contribution equal to a percentage of voluntary employee contributions, subject to certain limitations. In addition, the Bank makes a non-elective contribution to the account of each participant who is not eligible to participate in the Bank's DB plan. During the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, we contributed a total of $2,742, $2,682, and $2,810, respectively.

Qualified Defined Benefit Pension Plan.We participate in a tax-qualified, defined-benefitdefined benefit pension plan for financial institutions administered by Pentegra Retirement Services. This DB planPlan is treated as a multiemployer plan for accounting purposes but operates as a multiple-employer plan under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 and the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, certain multiemployer plan disclosures are not applicable.


Under the DB plan,Plan, contributions made by a participating employer may be used to provide benefits to employees of other participating employers because assets contributed by an employer are not segregated in a separate account or restricted to provide benefits to employees of that employer only. Also, in the event that a participating employer is unable to meet its contribution or funding requirements, the required contributions for the other participating employers (including us) could increase proportionately.


TheOur contributions to the DB Plan for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 were not more than 5% of the total contributions to the DB Plan by all participating employers for the plan years ended June 30, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Our DB Plan covers our officers and other employees who meet certain eligibility requirements, including an employment date prior to February 1, 2010.2010. The DB planPlan operates on a fiscal year from July 1 through June 30 and files one Form 5500 on behalf of all participating employers. The most recent Form 5500 available for the DB Plan is for the plan year ended June 30, 2021. The Employer Identification Number is 13-5645888 and the three digit plan number is 333. There are no collective bargaining agreements in place.


The DB plan'sPlan's annual valuation process includes calculating its funded status and separately calculating the funded status of each participating employer. The funded status is calculated as the market value of plan assets divided by the funding target (100%which is equal to 100% of the present value of all benefit liabilitiesbenefits accrued, at that date utilizing thea discount rate calculation methodology prescribed by statute)the 2012 Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act ("MAP-21"). The calculation of the funding target as of July 1, 2017, 2016 and 2015 incorporated aSuch methodology continued to result in an otherwise higher discount rate in accordance with MAP-21,at the plan valuation dates, which resulted in a lower funding target and a higher funded status.status each year. Over time, the favorable impact of MAP-21 is expected tomay decline. As permitted by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, the DB planPlan accepts contributions for the prior plan year up to eighteight and a half months after the asset valuation date. As a result, the market value of plan assets at the valuation date (July 1) will increase by any subsequent contributions designated for the immediately preceding plan year ended June 30.


The most recent Form 5500 available for the DB plan is for the plan year ended June 30, 2016. Our contributions



Notes to the DB plan for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015 were not more than 5% of the total contributions to the DB plan for the plan years ended June 30, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively.Financial Statements, continued

The discount rate represents a weighted average that was determined by a discounted cash-flow approach, which incorporates the timing of each expected future benefit payment. We estimate future benefit payments based on the census data of the SERP's participants, benefit formulas and provisions, and valuation assumptions reflecting the probability of decrement and survival. We then determine the present value of the future benefit payments by using duration-based interest-rate yields from the CitiFinancial Times Stock Exchange Pension Discount Curve as of the measurement date, and solving for the single discount rate that produces the same present value of the future benefit payments.


The accumulated benefit obligation for the SERP, which excludes projected future salary increases was $16,704 and $13,744 as of December 31, 20172022 and 2016,2021 was $41,457 and $36,545, respectively.


The unfunded benefit obligation is reported in other liabilities. Although there are no plan assets, the assets in the related grantor trust, included as a component of other assets, had a total estimated fair value of $20,071 and $17,536value at December 31, 20172022 and 2016,2021 of $46,688 and $55,008, respectively.

Note 1815 - Segment Information


We report based on two operating segments:


Traditional, which consists of credit products (including advances, standby letters of credit, and lines of credit), investments (including federal funds sold, securities purchased under agreements to resell, AFS securitiesinterest-bearing demand deposit accounts, and HTMinvestment securities), and correspondent services and deposits; and
Mortgage loans, which consists substantially of mortgage loans purchased from our members through our MPP and participating interests purchased in 2012 - 2014 from the FHLBank of Topeka in mortgage loans that were originated by certain of its PFIs under the MPF Program.MPP.


These segments reflect our two primary mission asset activities and the manner in which they are managed from the perspective of development, resource allocation, product delivery, pricing, credit risk and operational administration. The segments identify the principal ways we provide services to members.


We measure the performance of each segment based upon the net interest spread of the underlying portfolio(s). Therefore, each segment's performance begins with net interest income.


Traditional net interest income is derived primarily from the difference, or spread between the interest income earned on advances and investments and the borrowing costs related to those assets, net interest settlements and changes in fair value related to certain interest-rate swaps, and related premium and discount amortization. Traditional also includes the costs related to holding deposits for members and other miscellaneous borrowings as well as all other miscellaneous income and expense not associated with mortgage loans.borrowings. Mortgage loan net interest income is derived primarily from the difference, or spread between the interest income earned on mortgage loans, including the premium and discount amortization, and the borrowing costs related to those loans.


Direct other income and expense also affect each segment's results. The traditional segment includes the direct earnings impact of certain derivatives and hedging activities related to advances, investments and investmentsconsolidated obligations as well as all other miscellaneous income and expense not associated with mortgage loans. The mortgage loans segment includes the direct earnings impact of derivatives and hedging activities as well as direct compensation, benefits and other expenses (including an allocation for indirect overhead) associated with operating the MPP and MPF Program and volume-driven costs associated with master servicing and quality control fees.


The AHP assessments related to AHP have been allocated to each segment based upon its proportionate share of income before assessments.

We have not symmetrically allocated assets to each segment based upon financial results as it is impracticable to measure the performance of our segments from a total assets perspective. As a result, there is asymmetrical information presented in the tables above including, among other items, the allocation of depreciation without an allocation of the depreciable assets, derivatives and hedging earnings adjustments with no corresponding allocation to derivative assets, if any, and the recording of interest income with no allocation to accrued interest receivable.

Note 1916 - Estimated Fair Values


We estimate fair value amounts by using available market and other pertinent information and the most appropriate valuation methods. Although we use our best judgment in estimating the fair values of financial instruments, there are inherent limitations in any valuation technique. Therefore, these estimated fair values may not be indicative of the amounts that would have been realized in market transactions at the reporting dates.


Certain estimates of the fair value of financial assets and liabilities are highly subjective and require judgments regarding significant factors such as the amount and timing of future cash flows, prepayment speeds, interest-rate volatility, and the discount rates that appropriately reflect market and credit risks. The use of different assumptions could have a material effect on the fair value estimates.


Fair Value HierarchyGAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy and requires us to maximize the use of significant observable inputs and minimize the use of significant unobservable inputs when measuring estimated fair value. The inputs are evaluated, and an overall level for the estimated fair value measurement is determined. This overall level is an indication of the extent of the market observability of the estimated fair value measurement for the asset or liability.


The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three broad levels:


Level 1Inputs. Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in an active market that we can access on the measurement date. An active market for the asset or liability is a market in which the transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.


Level 2 Inputs.Inputs other than quoted prices within level 1 that are observable inputs for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. If the asset or liability has a specified or contractual term, a level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. Level 2 inputs include (i) quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; (ii) quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; (iii) inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (e.g., interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals and implied volatilities); and (iv) inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.


Level 3 Inputs.Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. Valuations are derived from techniques that use significant assumptions not observable in the market, which include pricing models, discounted cash flow models, or similar techniques.


We review the fair value hierarchy classifications on a quarterly basis. Changes in the observability of the inputs may result in a reclassification of certain assets or liabilities. Such reclassifications are reported as transfers in/out at estimated fair value as of the beginning of the quarter in which the changes occur. There were no such reclassifications during the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016,2022, 2021, or 2015.2020.

Summary of Valuation Techniques and Significant Inputs.

CashThe valuation techniques and Due from Banks.Thesignificant inputs used to develop our measurement of estimated fair value equals the carrying value.

Interest-Bearing Deposits. The estimatedfor assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value equalson a recurring or non-recurring basis in the carrying value.Statement Condition are listed below.


Securities Purchased Under Agreements to Resell. The estimated fair value of overnight securities purchased under agreements to resell approximates the carrying value. The estimated fair value of term securities purchased under agreements to resell is determined by calculating the present value of the future cash flows. The discount rates used in these calculations are the rates for securities with similar terms.

Federal Funds Sold. The estimated fair value of overnight federal funds sold approximates the carrying value. The estimated fair value of term federal funds sold is determined by calculating the present value of the expected future cash flows. The discount rates used in these calculations are the rates for federal funds with similar terms.

AFS and HTMInvestment Securities - MBS. The estimated fair value incorporates prices from multiple third-party pricing vendors, when available. These pricing vendors use various proprietary models to price MBS. The inputs to those models are derived from various sources, including, but not limited to, benchmark yields, reported trades, dealer estimates, issuer spreads, benchmark securities, bids, offers, and other market-related data. Because many private-label RMBS do not trade on a daily basis, the pricing vendors use other available information, as applicable, such as benchmark curves, benchmarking of like securities, sector groupings and matrix pricing to determine the prices for individual securities.

Notes to Financial Statements, continued
($ amounts in thousands unless otherwise indicated)



We conduct reviews of the pricing vendors' processes, methodologies and control procedures to confirm and further augment our understanding of the vendors' prices for agency and private-label RMBS.our MBS. Each pricing vendor has an established challenge process in place for all MBS valuations, which facilitates resolution of potentially erroneous prices identified by us.


Our valuation technique for estimating the fair values of MBS initially requires the establishment of a "median" price for each security. All prices that are within a specified tolerance threshold of the median price are then included in the "cluster" of prices that are averaged to compute a "default" price. All prices that are outside the threshold (i.e., outliers) are subject to further analysis (including, but not limited to, comparison to prices provided by an additional third-party valuation service, prices for similar securities, and/or non-binding dealer estimates) to determine if an outlier is a better estimate of fair value. If so, then the outlier (or the other price as appropriate) is used as the final price rather than the default price. In all cases, the final price is used to determine the estimated fair value of the security.





Notes to Financial Statements, continued
($ amounts in thousands unless otherwise indicated)

As of December 31, 2017,2022 and 2021, we obtained two or three prices were received for substantially all of our MBS.


Based on the lack of significant market activity and observable inputs for private-label RMBS and home equity loan ABS, the recurring fair value measurements for those securities were classified as level 3 within the fair value hierarchy as of December 31, 2017 and 2016.

AFS and HTMInvestment Securities - non-MBS. The estimated fair value is determined using market-observable price quotes from third-party pricing vendors, such as the Composite Bloomberg Bond Trader screen, thus falling under the market approach. 


Advances. We determine the estimated fair value by calculating the present value of expected future cash flows from the advances (excluding the amount of the accrued interest receivable). The discount rates used in these calculations are equivalent to the replacement advance rates for advances with similar terms. In accordance with the Finance Agency's regulations, advances with a maturity or repricing period greater than six months require a prepayment fee sufficient to make us financially indifferent to the borrower's decision to prepay the advances. Therefore, the estimated fair value of advances appropriately excludes prepayment risk.

The inputs used to determine the estimated fair value of advances are as follows:

LIBOR swap curve - we use the LIBOR swap curve, which represents the fixed rates on which fixed-rate payments are swapped in exchange for payments of three-month LIBOR;
Volatility assumption - to estimate the fair value of advances with optionality, we use market-based expectations of future interest-rate volatility implied from current market prices for certain benchmark options;
Spread adjustment to the LIBOR swap curve - the spreads are calculated for various structures of advances using current internal advance pricing indications; or
CO curve - for cost-of-funds floating-rate advances that do not use the inputs above, we use the CO curve, which represents the fixed rates at which the FHLBanks can currently issue debt of various maturities.

Mortgage Loans Held for Portfolio. The estimated fair value of performing mortgage loans is determined based on quoted market prices for similar mortgage loans, if available, or modeled prices. The modeled pricing starts with prices for new MBS issued by GSEs or similar new mortgage loans, adjusted for underlying assumptions or characteristics. Prices are then interpolated for differences in coupon between our mortgage loans and the referenced MBS or mortgage loans. The prices of the referenced MBS and the mortgage loans are highly dependent upon the underlying prepayment and other assumptions. Changes in the prepayment assumptions can have a material effect on the fair value estimates.

The estimated fair value for certain single-family nonperforming loans represents an estimate of the prices we would receive if we were to sell these loans in the nonperforming whole-loan market. These nonperforming loans are 90 days or greater delinquent. We use pricing indications provided by a third-party vendor that transacts whole loan sales within this market segment as an estimate of fair value for these loans. These nonperforming loans are classified as level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

We record non-recurring fair value adjustments to reflect partial charge-offs on impaired mortgage loans. We estimate the fair value of these assets using a current property value obtained from a third-party.

Accrued interest receivable and payable. The estimated fair value equals the carrying value.

Derivative assets/liabilities. We base the estimated fair values of derivatives with similar terms on market prices when available. However, active markets do not exist for many of our derivatives. Consequently, fair values for these instruments are generally estimated using standard valuation techniques such as discounted cash-flow analysis and comparisons to similar instruments. In limited instances, fair value estimates for derivatives are obtained from dealers and are corroborated by using a pricing model and observable market data (e.g., the LIBOR or OISEFFR/SOFR curves).


A discounted cash flow analysis utilizes market-observable inputs (inputs that are actively quoted and can be validated to external sources). Inputs by class of derivative are as follows:


Interest-rate related:
LIBOR curve or the EFFR/SOFR curve, as applicable, to project but OIS curve to discount, cash flows for collateralized interest-rate swaps;swaps and the EFFR/SOFR curve only to discount those cash flows; and
Volatility assumption - market-based expectations of future interest-rate volatility implied from current market prices for similar options.


TBAs:
TBA securities prices - market-based prices are determined by coupon, maturity and expected term until settlement.


MDCs:
TBA securities prices - prices are then adjusted for differences in coupon, average loan rate and seasoning.


The estimated fair values of our derivative assets and liabilities include accrued interest receivable/payable and related cash collateral, including initial and variation margin, posted to/received from counterparties.collateral. The estimated fair values of the accrued interest receivable/payable and cash collateral equal their carrying values due to their short-term nature.


We adjust the estimated fair values of our derivatives for counterparty nonperformance risk, particularly credit risk, as appropriate. We compute our nonperformance risk adjustment by using observable credit default swap spreads and estimated probability default rates applied to our exposure after considering collateral held or placed.


Grantor Trust Assets. Grantor trust assets, included as a component of other assets, are carried at estimated fair value based on quoted market prices as of the last business day of the reporting period.


Deposits. The estimated fair values are generally equal to their carrying values because the deposits are primarily overnight instruments or due on demand. We determine the estimated fair values of term deposits by calculating the present value of expected future cash flows from the deposits and excluding accrued interest payable. The discount rates used in these calculations are the costs of deposits with similar terms.


Consolidated Obligations. We assume the estimated fair value of discount notes is equal to par value due to their short-term nature.

We determine the estimated fair value of CO bonds by using prices received from up to three designated third-party pricing vendors. These pricing vendors use various proprietary models. The inputs to those models are derived from various sources including, but not limited to, benchmark yields, reported trades, dealer estimates, issuer spreads, benchmark securities, bids, offers, and other market-related data. Since many CO bonds do not trade on a daily basis, the pricing vendors use other available information, as applicable, such as benchmark curves, benchmarking of like securities, sector groupings and matrix pricing to determine the prices for individual CO bonds.

We conduct reviews of the three pricing vendors' processes, methodologies and control procedures to confirm and further augment our understanding of the vendors' prices. Each pricing vendor has an established challenge process in place for all valuations, which facilitates the resolution of potentially erroneous prices identified by us.

As of December 31, 2017, three prices were received for substantially all of our CO bonds, and the final prices for substantially all of those bonds were computed by averaging the three prices.

Mandatorily Redeemable Capital Stock. The estimated fair value of capital stock subject to mandatory redemption is equal to its par value and includes, if applicable, an estimated dividend earned at the time of reclassification from capital to liabilities until that amount is paid. In the ordinary course of business, our stock can only be acquired and redeemed at par value. It is not traded, and no market mechanism exists for the exchange of our stock outside the cooperative structure of our Bank.

Estimated Fair Value Measurements. The following tables present, by level within the fair value hierarchy, the estimated fair value of our financial assets and liabilities that are recorded at estimated fair value on a recurring or non-recurring basis on our statement of condition.

Commitments to Extend Credit.A standby letter of credit is a financing arrangement between us and one of our members for which we charge the member a commitment fee. If we are required to make a payment for a beneficiary's draw, the payment amount is converted into a collateralized advance to the member. Substantially all of these standby letters of credit, including related commitments, range from 3 months to 20 years, although some are renewable at our option. The carrying value of guarantees (commitment fees) related toUnearned fees on standby letters of credit isare recorded in other liabilities and totaled $2,867$12,454 at December 31, 2017.

2022. Lines of credit allow members to fund short-term cash needs (up to one year) without submitting a new application for each request for funds.

We monitor the creditworthiness of our standby letters of credit and lines of credit based on an evaluation of the financial condition of our members. In addition, commitments to extend credit are fully collateralized at the time of issuance. We have established parameters for the measurement, review, classification, and monitoring of credit risk related to these two products. Based on credit analyses performed by us as well as collateral requirements, we have not deemed it necessary to record any additional liability for these commitments. See Note 7 - Advances and Note 9 - Allowance for Credit Losses for more information.

Liability for Credit Losses. We monitor the creditworthiness of our members that have standby letters of credit and lines of credit. As standby letters of credit and lines of credit are subject to the same collateralization and borrowing limits that apply to advances and are fully collateralized at the time of issuance, we have not recorded a liability for credit losses on these credit products.

Commitments to Fund or Purchase Mortgage Loans.Commitments that unconditionally obligate us to fund or purchase mortgage loans are generally for periods not to exceed 91 days.days. Such commitments are reported as derivative assets or derivative liabilities at their estimated fair value and are reported net of participating interests sold to other FHLBanks.


Pledged Collateral.At December 31, 20172022 and 2016,2021, we had pledged cash collateral at par, of $16,437$1,849,797 and $35,421,$515,740, respectively, to counterparties and clearing agents. Additionally, atagents. At December 31, 2017, variation margin for daily settled contracts totaled $24,954. At December 31, 20172022 and 2016,2021, we had not pledged any securities as collateral.


Lease Commitments. Net rental and related costs totaled $287, $212, and $185 for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016, and 2015, respectively. Total future minimum lease payments were $2,253 at December 31, 2017.

Legal Proceedings. We are subject to legal proceedings arising in the normal course of business. We record an accrual for a loss contingency when it is probable that a loss for which we could be liable has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. After consultation with legal counsel, management doesis not anticipate thataware of any such proceedings where the ultimate liability, if any, arising out of these proceedings could have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.


In 2010, we filed a complaint asserting claims against several entities for negligent misrepresentation and violations of state and federal securities law occurring in connection with the sale of private-label RMBS to us. In 2013, 2014 and 2015, we executed confidential settlement agreements with certain defendants in this litigation, pursuant to which we have dismissed pending claims against, and provided legal releases to, certain entities with respect to all applicable securities at issue in the litigation, in consideration of our receipt of cash payments from or on behalf of those defendants. We had previously dismissed the complaint as to the other named defendants. As a result, all proceedings in the RMBS litigation we filed have been concluded. Cash settlement payments, net of legal fees and litigation expenses, totaled $530, $60, and $4,732 for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016, and 2015, respectively, and were recorded in other income.

Note 2118 - Related Party and Other Transactions


Transactions with Related Parties. We are a financial cooperative whose members and former members (or legal successors) own all of our outstanding capital stock. Former members (including certain non-members) are required to maintain their investment in our capital stock until their outstanding business transactions with us have matured or are paid off and their capital stock is redeemed in accordance with our capital plan and regulatory requirements. See For more information, see Note 1512 - Capital for more information..


Under GAAP, transactions with related parties include transactions with principal owners, i.e, owners of more than 10% of the voting interests of the entity. Due to the statutory limits on members' voting rights and the number of members in our Bank,members, no shareholder owned more than 10 percent of the total voting interests as of and for the three-year period ended December 31, 2017.2022. Therefore, the Bank had no transactions with principal owners for any of the periods presented.


Under GAAP, transactions with related parties also include transactions with management. Management is defined as persons who are responsible for achieving the objectives of the entity and who have the authority to establish policies and make decisions by which those objectives are to be pursued. For this purpose, management typically includes those who serve on our board of directors.

Transactions with Directors Financial Institutions. The Bank provides, in the ordinary course of its business, products and services to members whose officers or directors may also serve as directors of the Bank, i.e., directors' financial institutions. However, Finance Agency regulations require that transactions with directors' financial institutions be made on the same terms as those with any other member. Therefore, all of our transactions with directors' financial institutions are subject to the same eligibility and credit criteria, as well as the same conditions, as comparable transactions with all other members.

The composition of directors' financial institutions changed on January 1, 2022, due to changes in board membership resulting from the 2021 director election, and on August 5, 2022 and November 8, 2022 due to director resignations.

Transactions with Members and Former Members. Substantially all advances are made to members, and all whole mortgage loans held for portfolio are purchased from members. We also maintain demand deposit accounts for members, primarily to facilitate settlement activities that are directly related to advances or mortgage loan purchases. Such transactions with members are entered into in the ordinary course of business. In addition, we may purchase investments in federal funds sold, securities purchased under agreements to resell, certificates of deposit, and MBS from members or their affiliates. All purchases are transacted at market prices without preference to the status of the counterparty or the issuer of the security as a member, nonmember, or affiliate thereof.


Under our AHP, we provide subsidies to members, which may be in the form of direct grants or below-market-rate advances. All AHP subsidies are made in the ordinary course of business. Under our Community Investment Program and our Community Investment Cash Advances program, we provide subsidies in the form of below-market-rate advances to members or standby letters of credit to members for community lending and economic development projects. All Community Investment Cash Advances subsidies are made in the ordinary course of business.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

We use acronyms and terms throughout this Item that are defined herein or in the Defined Terms.
 
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
We are responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("Exchange Act"), is: (a) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission'sSEC's rules and forms; and (b) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, and principal accounting officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.


As of December 31, 2017,2022, we conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (the principal executive officer), Chief Financial Officer (the principal financial officer) and Chief Accounting Officer (the principal accounting officer), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 of the Exchange Act. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Accounting Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2017.2022. For Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting and the Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, see Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.
 
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting


Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15(d)-15(f) of the Exchange Act, that occurred during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Table of Contents



Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls.We do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures and other internal controls will prevent all error and fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can only be reasonable assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Additionally, over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

ITEM 10. DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE


We use acronyms and terms throughout this Item that are defined herein or in the Glossary ofDefined Terms.


Board of Directors


The Bank Act divides theFHLBank directorships of the FHLBanks into two categories, "member" directorships and "independent" directorships. Both types of directorships are filled by a vote of the members. Elections for member directors are held on a state-by-state basis. Member directors are elected by a plurality vote of the members in their state. Independent directors are elected at-large by all the members in the FHLBank district without regard to the state. No member of management of an FHLBank may serve as a director of an FHLBank.


Under the Bank Act, member directorships must always make up a majority of the board of directors' seats, andwhile the independent directorships must comprise at least 40% of the entire board. A Finance Agency Orderorder issued June 1, 20172022 provides that we have 1715 seats on our board of directors for 2018,2023, consisting of five Indiana member directors, fourthree Michigan member directors, and eightseven independent directors. The term of office for directors is four years, unless otherwise adjusted by the Director in order to achieve an appropriate staggering of terms, with approximately one-fourth of the directors' terms expiring each year. Directors may not serve more than three consecutive full terms.


Finance Agency regulations permit, but do not require, the board of directors to conduct an annual assessment of the skills and experience possessed by the board as a whole and to determine whether the capabilities of the board would be enhanced through the addition of individuals with particular skills and experience. We may identify those qualifications and inform the voting members as part of our nomination and balloting process; however, by regulation as described below, we may not exclude a member director nominee from the election ballot on the basis of those qualifications. For the 20172022 director elections, our board listed in its request for nominations certain desirable candidate financialattributes and industry experiences, personal characteristics, and other competencies, but no particular qualifications beyond the eligibility criteria were required as part of the nomination, balloting and election process.


Finance Agency regulations require each FHLBank to develop, implement, and maintain policies and procedures to ensure, to the maximum extent possible in balance with financially safe and sound business practices, the consideration of minorities, women, and individuals with disabilities for employment, and consideration of minority-, women-, and disabled-owned businesses to be engaged for all business and activities. In particular, those regulations require our policies and procedures to (among other things) encourage the consideration of diversity in nominating or soliciting nominees for positions on our board of directors.

Nomination of Member Directors. The Bank Act and Finance Agency regulations require that member director nominees meet certain statutory and regulatory criteria in order to be eligible to be elected and serve as directors. To be eligible, an individual must: (i) be an officer or director of a member institution located in the state in which there is an open member director position; (ii) represent a member institution that is in compliance with the minimum capital requirements established by its regulator; and (iii) be a United States citizen. These criteria are the only eligibility and qualifications criteria that member directors must meet, and we are not permitted to establish additional eligibility or qualifications criteria for member directors or nominees.meet.


Each eligible institution may nominate representatives from member institutions in its respective state to serve as member directors. By statute and regulation, onlyOnly our shareholders may nominate and elect member directors. Our board of directors is not permitted to nominate or elect member directors, except to fill a vacancy for the remainder of an unexpired term or to fill a vacancy for which no nominations were received. With respect to member directors, under Finance Agency regulations, noNo director, officer, employee, attorney or agent of our Bank (except in his or her personal capacity) may, directly or indirectly, support the nomination or election of a particular individual for a member directorship. Finance Agency regulations do not require member institutions to communicate to us the reasons for their nominations, and we have no power to require them to do so.

Nomination of Independent Directors. Independent director nominees are also must meetsubject to certain statutory and regulatory eligibility criteria. Each independent director must be a United States citizen and a bona fide resident of Michigan or Indiana. The Bank Act and Finance Agency regulations prohibit an independent director from serving as a director, officer, or employee of a member of the FHLBank on whose board the director sits, or of a recipient of an advance from that FHLBank, or as an officer of any FHLBank, and also prohibit the nomination or election as an independent director of an individual serving in any such capacity.

Table of Contents


Under the Bank Act, there are two types of independent directors:

Public interest directors - We are required to have at least two public interest directors. Each must have more than four years of experience representing consumer or community interests in banking services, credit needs, housing, or consumer financial protections.
Other independent directors - Independent directors must have demonstrated knowledge or experience in auditing or accounting, derivatives, financial management, organizational management, project development or risk management practices, or other expertise established by Finance Agency regulations.

Before nominating an individual for an independent directorship, other than for a public interest directorship, our board must determine that the nominee's knowledge or experience is commensurate with that needed to oversee a financial institution with a size and complexity that is comparable to that of our Bank. The Bank Act prohibits an independent director from serving as an officer of an FHLBank or as a director, officer, or employee of a member of the applicable FHLBank, or of a recipient of an advance from an FHLBank.

Under the Bank Act, there are two types of independent directors:

Public interest directors - We are required to have at least two public interest directors. Each must have more than four years of experience in representing consumer or community interests in banking services, credit needs, housing, or consumer financial protections.
Other independent directors - Independent directors must have demonstrated knowledge or experience in auditing or accounting, derivatives, financial management, organizational management, project development or risk management practices, or other expertise established by Finance Agency regulations.

Pursuant to the Bank Act and Finance Agency regulations, the board of directors, after consultation with our Affordable Housing Advisory Council, nominates candidates for the independent director positions. Individuals interested in serving as independent directors may submit an application for consideration by the Executive/Governance Committee.Committee, which performs certain functions for our board that are similar to those of a board nominating committee with respect to the nomination of candidates for election as independent directors. The application form is available on our website at www.fhlbi.com, by clicking on "Resources,"About," "Corporate Governance" and "Board of Directors.Directors" and "Become a Board Member." Our members may also nominate independent director candidates for the Executive/Governance Committee to consider.candidates. The conclusion that thean independent director nomineesnominee may qualify to serve as our directorsa director is based upon the nominees'nominee's satisfaction of the regulatorily prescribed eligibility criteria listed above and verified through application and eligibility certification forms prescribed by the Finance Agency. The board of directors then submits the slated independent director candidates to the Finance Agency for its review and comment. Once the Finance Agency has accepted candidates for the independent director positions, we hold a district-wide election for those positions.


Under Finance Agency regulations, if the board of directors nominates only one independent director candidate for each open seat, each candidate must receive at least 20% of the votes that are eligible to be cast in order to be elected. If there is more than one candidate for each open independent director seat, then such requirement does not apply.


Nominating Committee. Our board of directors does not have a nominating committee with respect to member director positions because member directors are nominated by our members. As noted, our board, after review by the Executive/Governance Committee and consultation with our Affordable Housing Advisory Council, nominates candidates for independent director positions.

20172022 Member and Independent Director Elections. The Bank Act and Finance Agency regulations set forth the voting rights and processes with respect to the election of member directors and independent directors. The board of directors does not solicit proxies, nor are eligible institutions permitted to solicit or use proxies to cast their votes in an election for directors. For the election of both member directors and independent directors, each eligible institution is entitled to cast one vote for each share of stock that it was required to hold as of the record date (i.e., December 31 of the year prior to the year in which the election is held); however, the number of votes that a member institution may cast for each directorship cannot exceed the average number of shares of stock that were required to be held by all member institutions located in thatthe applicable state on the record date.


The only matter submitted to a vote of our shareholdersshareholders in 20172022 was the fourth quarter election of two independent directors. In addition, because we had only one nominee for two openMichigan member director and one Indiana member directorships, that nominee, Mr. Myers, was deemed by Finance Agency regulation to be elected without a shareholder vote. In 2017 the nomination of member directors was conducted electronically; for independent directors, the 2017 nomination was conducted both electronically and by mail. Although our procedures permit voting electronically or by paper ballot, the 2017 voting by members was conducted electronically.director. No meeting of the members was held with regard to the 2022 election. The board of directors does not solicit proxies, nor are eligible institutions permitted to solicit or use proxies to cast their votes in an election for directors. The 20172022 election was conducted in accordance with the Bank Act andand Finance Agency regulations.

Our board of directors has determined that Mr. Long is an* Ms. Reagin was appointed as Audit Committee Financial Expert under SEC rules, due primarily to his previous experience as an audit partner at a major public accounting firm. Our board has determined thatVice Chair in July 2022 in anticipation of Mr. Long is "independent" underJackson's resignation from the New York Stock Exchange rules definition, and has further determined that no member director may qualify as "independent" under that definition due to the cooperative ownership structure of our Bank by its member institutions. For further discussion about the board's analysis of director independence, see Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions and Director Independence.Board in August 2022. 


The Bank Act requires the FHLBanks to comply with the substantive audit committee director independence rules applicable to issuers of securities under the rules adopted pursuant to the Exchange Act. Those rules provide that, to be considered an independent member of an audit committee, a director may not be an affiliated person of the registrant. The term "affiliated person" means a person that directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls, or is controlled by, or is under common control with, the registrant. The rule provides a "safe harbor," whereby a person will not be deemed an affiliated person if the person is not the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of more than 10% of any class of voting securities of the registrant. All of our Audit Committee member directors' institutions presently meet this safe harbor.

The Bank is one of 11 regional FHLBanks across the United States which, along with the Office of Finance, compose the FHLBank System. Each FHLBank operates as a separate entity with its own management, employees, and board of directors, and shareholders and each is regulated by the Finance Agency. The Office of Finance has responsibility for the issuance of consolidated obligations on behalf of the FHLBanks, and for publishing combined financial reports of the FHLBanks. Accordingly, the FHLBank System has determined that it is optimal to have the same independent audit firmauditor to coordinate and perform the separate audits of the financial statements of each FHLBank and the FHLBanks' combined financial reports. The FHLBanks and the Office of Finance cooperate in selecting, setting the compensation of, and evaluating the performance of the independent auditor, but the responsibility for the appointment of and oversight of the independent auditor remains solely with the audit committeesAudit Committee of each FHLBank and the Office of Finance.

benefits associated with engaging a different firm as independent auditor; and
potential disruption and risks associated with changing the Bank's auditor;

PwC's tenure as the Bank's and the FHLBank System's independent auditor;
benefits associated with engaging a different firm as independent auditor; and

PwC's familiarity with our operations and businesses, accounting policies and practices and internal control over financial reporting;
PwC's historical and recent performance of our audit, including the results of an internal survey offeedback from Bank management as to PwC's service and quality;
an analysis of PwC's known legal risks and significant proceedings;
both engagement and external data relating to audit quality and performance, including recent Public Company Accounting Oversight Board audit quality inspection reports on PwC and its peer firms;firms as well as metrics indicative of audit quality;

The Audit Committee has determined that PwC did not provide any non-audit services that would impair its independence andindependence. To the Audit Committee's knowledge, there are no other matters which cause the Audit Committee to believe PwC is not independent.

Finance Agency Oversight of Executive Compensation.


Bank Act and Finance Agency Executive Compensation Rule.Because we are a GSE, all aspects The Finance Agency provides oversight of our business and operations, including our executiveFHLBank compensation, programs, are subject to regulation bywhich influences compensation decisions impacting the NEOs. Aspects of this oversight include:
the Director of the Finance Agency. The Bank Act and the Finance Agency's rule on executive compensation adopted in 2014 ("Executive Compensation Rule") provide the Director with the authority to prevent the FHLBanks from paying compensation to their executive officers that is not "reasonable and comparable" to compensation for employment paid at institutions of similar size and function for similar duties and responsibilities. While the Safety and Soundness Act and the Executive Compensation Rule prohibit the Director from setting specific levels or ranges of compensation for FHLBank executive officers, the Executive Compensation Rule does authorize the Director to identify relevant factors for determining whetherresponsibilities;
a Finance Agency rule on executive compensation is reasonable and comparable. Under the Executive Compensation Rule, such factors include but are not limited to: (i) the duties and responsibilities of the position; (ii) compensation factors that indicate added or diminished risks, constraints, or aids in carrying out the responsibilities of the position; and (iii) performance of the executive officer's institution, the specific executive officer, or one of the institution's significant components with respect to achievement of goals, consistency with supervisory guidance and internal rules of the entity, and compliance with applicable law and regulation.

Pursuant to the Executive Compensation Rule, the Finance Agencywhich, among other provisions, requires the FHLBanksus to provide information to the Finance Agency for review and non-objection concerning all compensation actions relating to the respective FHLBanks' executive officers. This information,impacting NEOs; and
a Finance Agency rule on golden parachute payments, under which includes studies of comparable compensation, must be provided to the Finance Agency at least 30 daysmay limit or prohibit certain payments to NEOs, particularly if such payments may be made in advanceconnection with the termination of any planned FHLBank action with respect to the payment of compensation to executive officers. In addition, the FHLBanks are required to provide at least 60 days' advance notice of any arrangement that provides for incentive awards to executive officers. Under the supervision of our board of directors, we provide this information to thean NEO.

The Finance Agency onhas also issued an ongoing basis as required.

Finance Agency Advisory Bulletin 2009-AB-02.Finance Agency Advisory Bulletin 2009-AB-02, issued in 2009, setsadvisory bulletin setting forth certain principles for executive compensation practices to which the FHLBanks and the Office of Finance should adhere in settingon executive compensation. These principles consist of the following:

provide that executive compensation must be reasonable andshould be: comparable to that offered to executives in similar positions at other comparable financial institutions;
executive incentive compensation should be consistent with sound risk managementmanagement; and preservation of the par value of the FHLBank's capital stock;
a significant percentage of an executive's incentive-based compensation should be tied to longer-term performance and outcome indicators;
indicators with a significant percentage of an executive's incentive-based compensation shouldto be deferred and made contingent upon performance over several years; and
the FHLBank's board of directors should promote accountability and transparency in the process of setting compensation.

In evaluating compensation at the FHLBanks, the Director will consider the extent to which an executive's compensation is consistent with these advisory bulletin principles. Weaccordingly. These principles have been incorporated these principles andinto the Executive Compensation Rule framework into our development, implementation, and review of compensation policies and practices for executive officers, as described below.the NEOs.


Joint Proposed Rule on Incentive Compensation. Further, in June 2016, six federal financial regulators, including the Finance Agency, published a proposed rule that would prohibit "covered institutions," which include the FHLBanks, from entering into incentive-based compensation arrangements that encourage inappropriate risks or that could lead to a material financial loss. This proposed rule replaces a similar proposed rule published in 2011. As applied to the FHLBanks, covered persons under the 2016 proposed rule include senior management responsible for the oversight of firm-wide activities or material business lines or control functions, as well as non-executive employees: (i) whose annual incentive compensation is at least one-third of their total annual compensation and who are among the top two percent of the highest-compensated persons in the organization; (ii) whose positions give them the authority to commit or expose 0.5 percent or more of the organization's capital; or (iii) who are otherwise identified as "significant risk-takers" by the organization or the applicable regulatory agency. Under the proposed rule, covered financial institutions would be required to comply with three key risk management principles related to the design and governance of incentive-based compensation:

appropriate balance between risk and reward;
effective risk management and controls; and
effective governance.

In addition, the proposed rule would impose requirements with respect to incentive-based compensation arrangements for covered persons related to:

mandatory deferrals of annual and "long-term" incentive-based compensation for senior executive officers and significant risk-takers of 50 percent and 40 percent, respectively, over no less than three years for annual incentive-based compensation and over one additional year for compensation awarded under a long-term incentive plan;
risk of downward adjustment and forfeiture of awards;
clawback of vested compensation; and
limits on the maximum incentive-based compensation opportunity.

The proposed rule would also require boards of directors to obtain: (i) input on the effectiveness of risk measures and adjustments used to balance risk and reward in incentive-based compensation; and (ii) at least annually, from management and from the internal audit or risk management function of the organization, a written assessment of the effectiveness of the organization's incentive-based compensation program and related compliance and control processes in providing risk-taking incentives that are consistent with the organization's risk profile.

Our current compensation policies and practices, among other provisions:

prohibit excessive compensation to covered persons;
prohibit incentive compensation that encourages inappropriate risks, which could lead to material financial loss;
require mandatory deferrals of 50% of incentive compensation over three years for certain executive officers;
require reports to the Finance Agency describing the structure of our incentive-based compensation arrangements for covered persons; and
are designed to help ensure compliance with the requirements and prohibitions of the rules.
Finance Agency Rule on Golden Parachute Payments.The Finance Agency's rule on golden parachute payments ("Golden Parachute Rule") sets forth the standards that the Finance Agency will take into consideration when limiting or prohibiting golden parachute payments by an FHLBank, the Office of Finance, Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. The Golden Parachute Rule generally prohibits golden parachute payments except in limited circumstances with Finance Agency approval. Golden parachute payments may include compensation paid to a director, officer or employee following the termination of such person's employment by a regulated entity that is insolvent, under the appointment of a conservator or receiver or in a troubled condition, or has been assigned a composite examination rating of 4 or 5 by the Finance Agency. Golden parachute payments generally do not include payments made pursuant to a qualified pension or retirement plan, an employee welfare benefit plan, a bona fide deferred compensation plan, a nondiscriminatory severance pay plan, or payments made by reason of the death or disability of the individual.

Compensation PhilosophyPhilosophy and Objectives.In 2017,2022, our board of directors adopted a resolution updating our statement of compensation philosophy. Pursuant to the resolution, our compensation philosophy is to provide a market-competitive compensation and benefits packagepackage that will enable us to effectively recruit, promote, retain and motivate highly qualified employees, management and leadership talent for the benefit of our Bank, its members, and other stakeholders.stakeholders in alignment with the Bank's diversity, equity, and inclusion objectives. We desire to be competitive and forward-thinking while maintaining a prudent risk management culture.the Bank's safety and soundness. Thus, our compensation program encourages operational excellence, superior member service, responsible growth and prudent risk-taking while delivering a competitive pay package.


Specifically, our compensation program is designed to reward:
 
attainment of performance goals;
implementation of short- and long-term business strategies;
accomplishment of our public policy mission;
effective and appropriate management of financial, operational, reputational, regulatory, and human resources risks;
growth and enhancement of senior management leadership and functional competencies; and
accomplishment of goals to maintain an efficient, cooperative system of FHLBanks.


The board of directors regularly reviews these goals and the compensation alternatives available and may make changes in the program from time to time to better achieve these goals or to comply with Finance Agency directives. As a cooperative, we are not able to offer equity-based compensation, and only member institutions (or their legal successors) may own our stock. Without equity incentives to attract, reward and retain NEOs and senior management, we provide alternative compensation and benefits such as cash incentive opportunities, pension (with respect to Ms. Konich, Mr. Teare, and Mr. McGrath) or additional non-elective contributions (with respect to four of the NEOs identified in this Report)Mr. Streitenberger and Mr. Dawson) and other retirement benefits (as to(to all NEOs). This approach generally will lead to a mix of compensation for NEOs that emphasizes base salary, provides meaningful incentive opportunities, and creates a competitive total compensation opportunity relative to the market.

Role of the Executive/Governance and HR Committees in Setting Executive Compensation. The Executive/Governance and HR Committees intend that our executive compensation program be aligned with our Bank-wide short-term and long-term business objectives and focus executives' efforts on fulfilling these Bank-wide objectives. The Executive/Governance Committee reviews the President - CEO's performance and researches and recommends the President - CEO's salary to the board of directors. The President - CEO determines the salaries of the other NEOs, generally after consulting with the HR Committee, as discussed below. The HR Committee recommends, to the Finance/Budget Committee, for approval by the board, the percentage of salary increases that will apply to merit and promotional andor internal pay equity increasesadjustments for each year's budget. The retirement benefit plans that will be offered, and any material changes to those plans from time to time, are approved by the board after review and recommendation by the HR Committee. The HR Committee also recommends the goals, payouts and qualifications for both the annual (short-term) incentive awards and the deferred (long-term) incentive awards for the board's review and approval.

Our Executive/Governance and HR Committees operate under written charters adopted by the board of directors, and most recently reviewed by the board as of March 24, 2017 and January 19, 2018, respectively.20, 2023.

Role of Compensation Consultants in Setting Executive Compensation. For each of the last seven12 years, McLagan Partners, Inc. ("McLagan"), an AONAon plc company, washas been engaged by Bank management to work with the HR Committee to evaluate and update our salary and benefit benchmarksthe Bank's compensation for certain positions, including the NEOs' positions, in our Bank. Many other FHLBanks engage McLagan for the same or similar compensation-related services.

The salary and benefit benchmarksas we useseek to establishmaintain compensation that is reasonable and competitive compensation for our employees arecompetitive.

The evaluation uses the competitor groups identified by McLagan. The competitor groups are comprised of selected firms that elected to participateparticipated in McLagan's Financial Industry Salary Survey. The firms included in the competitor groups can change year-to-year, based on changes in the composition of the McLagan survey participants, changes in financial metrics of firms that elected to participateparticipated in the survey for that year, and McLagan's analysis.

As a guideline, McLagan considers compensation for a role within 15 percent of the correlating positions at the competitor groups to be within the competitive market range. We consider this general range along with our financial performance, stability, prudent risk-taking and conservative operating philosophies, internal pay equity, and our compensation philosophy in setting compensation.

For 2022, McLagan's competitor groups consisted of three peer groups. The primary competitorfirst peer group is comprised of the 10 other 10 FHLBanks and a number of large regional/commercial banks and other financial companies ("Primary Competitor Group").FHLBanks. The benchmark jobspositions used from the other FHLBanks are comprised of their comparable positionto the positions at our Bank (e.g., CEO to CEO).

The benchmark jobssecond peer group consists of a number of large financial institutions and regional commercial banks, as well as the Federal Reserve Banks. There are 85 institutions in the second peer group. The positions used from the other regional/large financial institutions and regional commercial banks include the divisional/functional heads, rather than the overall head of the bank, to account for the difference in scale of activities at a large regional banksuch institutions compared to an FHLBank (e.g., Head of Corporate Banking is used, in the benchmark, rather than a large financial institution's or regional bank's CEO, as the appropriate comparison to the FHLBank's CEO).

The aggregate fees paid to AON or its affiliates during 2017 for recommending the amount or form of executive and director compensation were $36,925. The aggregate fees paid to AON or its affiliates during 2017 for additional services were $286,625. While the HR Committee has concluded that no conflict of interest was created by management's engagement of AON or its affiliates for these additional services, any potential conflicts of interest were mitigated through multiple safeguards and constraints, including: board oversight of the Bank’s management, operations, budget, and compensation arrangements and amounts; comprehensive Finance Agency regulations and monitoring of our compensation, corporate governance, and safety and soundness; and the utilization of McLagan’s compensation expertise throughout much of the FHLBank System.

Role of the Named Executive Officers in the Compensation Process. The NEOs may assist the HR Committee and the board of directors by providing data and background information to any compensation consultants engaged by management, the board or the HR Committee. The Human Resources Directordepartment assists the HR Committee and compensation consultants by gathering research on the Bank's hiring and turnover statistics, compensation trends, peer groups, cost of living, and other market data requested by the President - CEO, the HR Committee, the Finance/Budget Committee, the Audit Committee, the Executive/Governance Committee, or the board. Further, seniorSenior management (including the NEOs) prepares the strategic plan financial forecasts, which are then considered by the Finance/Budget Committee and by the board when establishing the goals and anticipated payout terms for the incentive compensation plans.plan. The CRO oversees the Enterprise Risk Management ("ERM") department's review, from a risk perspective, of the incentive compensation plans'plan's risk-related performance goals and target achievement levels.


Compensation Risk. The HR Committee (as well asand the Executive/Governance Committee with respect to the President - CEO's compensation) routinely reviewsreview our policies and practices of compensating our employees, including non-executive officers, and have determined that none of these policies or practices result in any risk that is reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on ourthe Bank. Further, based on such reviews, the HR Committee and the Executive/Governance Committee believe that our plans and programs contain features that operate to mitigate risk and reduce the likelihood of employees engaging intaking excessive risk-taking behavior with respectrisks relating to the compensation-related aspects of their jobs.duties. In addition, the material plans and programs operate within a strong governance, review and regulatory structure that serves and supports risk mitigation.

Elements of Compensation Used to Achieve Compensation Philosophy and Objectives. The total compensation mix for NEOs in 20172022 consisted of:

(1)base salaries;
(2)annual and deferred incentive opportunities;
(3)retirement benefits;
(4)perquisites and other benefits; and
(5)potential payments upon termination or change in control.

(3)    retirement benefits;

(4)    perquisites and other benefits; and
(5)    potential payments upon termination or change in control.

The board of directors has structured the compensation programs to comply with Internal Revenue Code ("IRC") Section 409A. If an executive is entitled to nonqualified deferred compensation benefits that are subject to IRCInternal Revenue Code Section 409A, and such benefits do not comply with IRCInternal Revenue Code Section 409A, then the benefits are taxable in the first year they are not subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture. In such case, the executive is subject to payment of regular federal income tax, interest and an additional federal income tax of 20% of the benefit includable in income. The Key Employee Severance Agreement ("KESA") between our Bank and our President-CEOCEO contains provisions that "gross-up" certain benefits paid thereunder in the event she should become liable for an excise tax on such benefits. Other elements of our NEOs' compensation may be adjusted to reflect the tax effects of such compensation.


Base Salaries.Unless otherwise described, the term "base salary" as used in this Item 11 refers to an individual's annual salary, including any adjustments, before considering incentive compensation, deferred compensation, perquisites, taxes, or any other adjustments that may be elected or required. We recruit and desire to retain senior management from national markets. Consequently, the cost of living in Indiana is not a direct factor in determining base salary. Merit increases to base salaries are used, in part, to keep our NEO salary levels competitive with those in the Competitor Groups.


The President - CEO's base salary is established annually by the board of directors after review and recommendation by the Executive/Governance Committee. Our board has concluded that the level of scrutiny to which the base salary determination for the President - CEO is subjected is appropriate in light of the nature of the position and the extent to which the President - CEOshe is responsible for the overall performance of our Bank. In setting the President - CEO's base salary, the Executive/Governance Committee and the board have discretion to consider a wide range of factors, including the President - CEO's individual performance, the overall performance of our Bank, the President - CEO's individual performance, her tenure, and the amount of the President - CEO'sher base salary relative to the base salaries of executives in similar positions in companies in our Competitor Groups. Although a policy or a specific formula has not been developed for such purpose, the Executive/Governance Committee and the board also consider the amount and relative percentage of the President - CEO's total compensation that is derived from her base salary. In light of the wide variety of factors that are considered, the Executive/Governance Committee and the board have not attempted to rank or otherwise assign relative weights to the factors they consider. Rather, the Executive/Governance Committee and the board consider all the factors as a whole, in determining the President - CEO's base salary, including data and recommendations from McLagan.


After an advisory consultation with the HR Committee, the base salaries for our other NEOs are set or approved annually by the President - CEO, who has discretion to consider a wide range of factors including competitive benchmark data from McLagan, each NEO's qualifications, responsibilities, assessed performance contribution, tenure, position held, amount of base salary relative to similarly-positioned executives in our Competitor Groups and our overall salary budget. Although a policy or a specific formula has not been developed for such purpose, the President - CEO also considers the amounts and relative percentages of the NEOs' total compensation that are derived by the NEOs from their base salaries, including data and recommendations from McLagan.


Based on the foregoing factors, the NEOs'The NEOs’ base salaries for 20172022 were increased, effective December 26, 2016, as follows.
January 1, 2022 and are presented in the Summary Compensation Table.

Mary M. Kleiman 5.0% 326,222
K. Lowell Short, Jr. 3.0% 313,014


In October 2016, the HR Committee recommended and the board of directors approved for the 2017 salary budget affecting all employees (i) merit and market-based increases averaging 3.0% of annual base salaries and (ii) promotional and equity adjustments averaging an additional 1.5% of annual base salaries. These approved amounts were used in adjusting base salaries for 2017 and were incorporated into our 2017 operating budget as recommended by our Finance/Budget Committee and approved by our board of directors on November 18, 2016. NEO base salary increases above 3% for 2017 were not taken from the pool of merit and market-based increases approved by the board for 2017.

Annual and Deferred Incentive Opportunities.Generally, as an executive's level of responsibility increases, a greater percentagepercentage of total compensation is variable and based on ourthe Bank's overall performance. The board adopts incentive plans to grant this variable element of executive compensation. Our incentive plan hasplans include a measurement framework that rewards achievement of specific goals consistent with our mission. As discussed below, our incentive plan is performance-based and represents a reasonable risk-return balance for our cooperative members both as users of our products and as shareholders.shareholders, and is appropriate to our status and risk appetite as a housing GSE.

Table of directors adopted anContents


The current incentive compensation plan, which was originally adopted by the board effective January 1, 2012 and has been amended and restated from time to time ("Incentive Plan")., provides incentive compensation opportunities for all employees. The Incentive Plan is a cash-based incentive plan that provides cash award opportunities based on achievement of performance goals. The purpose of the Incentive Plan is to attract, retain and motivate employees, including the NEOs, and to focus their efforts on a reasonable level of profitability while maintaining safety and soundness. Employees in the Internal Audit department are excluded from the Incentive Plan but are eligible to participate in a separate incentive compensation plan established by the Audit Committee. With certain exceptions, any eligible employee hired before October 1 of a calendar year becomes a "Participant"participant in the Incentive Plan for that calendar year. A "Level I Participant" is the Bank's President - CEO, an EVP, or a SVP, while a "Level II Participant" is any other participating employee. All NEOs identified as of each December 31 are included among the eligible Level I Participants and must execute an agreement with our Bankus containing certain non-solicitation and non-disclosure provisions.


The HR Committee establishes appropriate performancePerformance goals and the relative weight to be accorded to each goal underare established annually by the Incentive Plan, subject to approvalHR Committee and approved by the board of directors. The Incentive Plan effectively combined short-term and long-term incentive plans that were in place for NEOs for 2011 and prior years into one incentive plan for all employees, except for those in Internal Audit. The full migration to the Incentive Plan occurred from 2012 through 2015. The Incentive Plan, as amended, is on file with the SEC. The following sections describe the incentive compensation arrangements for the NEOs under the Incentive Plan.
In accordance with Incentive Plan guidelines, performance goals are establisheddirectors for each calendar-year period ("Performance Period") and three-calendar-year period ("Deferral Performance Period"). The board definesalso approves the "Threshold," "Target" and "Maximum" achievement levels for each performance goal to determine how much of an award may be earned. The achievement of performance goals determines the value of awards, which for Level I Participants which(including the NEOs) may be Annual Awards (relating to achievement of performance goals over a Performance Period) and Deferred Awards (relating to achievement of performance goals over a Deferral Performance Period), and for other Incentive PlanLevel II Participants (Annualincludes Annual Awards only).only. The board may adjust the performance goals to ensure the purposes of the Incentive Plan are served, but made no such adjustments during 2015, 20162020, 2021 or 2017.

Under the Incentive Plan, the2022. The board establishes a maximum award for eligible Participantsawards under the plan before the beginning of each Performance Period. Each award equals a percentage of the Participant's annual compensation, (generallywhich is generally defined as the Participant's annual earned base salary excluding any bonus, incentive compensation, deferred compensation payments, lump sum payouts for accrued but unused vacation time, long-term disability insurance payments paid for the current or wages fora prior year, overtime, or hours worked).paid under the Bank's paid-time-off policies.


With respect to the NEOs' Annual Awards and Deferred Awards, for the NEOs, the Incentive Plan provides that 50% of an Award to a Level I Participant will become earned and vested on the last day of the Performance Period, subject to the achievement of specified Bank performance goals over such period, the attainment of at least a "Fully Meets Expectations" or "Satisfactory" individual performance rating (or, for 2016 and subsequent years, the numerical equivalent of such rating in our performance measurement structure)over the Performance Period and, subject to certain limited exceptions, active employment on the last day of such period. The remaining 50% of an award to a Level I Participant will become earned and vested on the last day of the Deferral Performance Period (Annual Award), subject to the same conditionsachievement of specified Bank performance goals over such period, the attainment of a specific minimum individual performance rating for such period, and active employment on the last day of such period (subject to certain limited exceptions relating to the circumstances of employment termination before the end of the Performance Period). The remaining 50% will become earned and vested on the last day of the Deferral Performance Period (Deferred Award), subject to the attainment of a specific minimum individual performance rating for each year of such period, and active employment on the last day of such period (subject to certain limited exceptions relating to the circumstances of employment termination before the end of the Deferral Performance Period), and further subject to the Bank's achievement during the Deferral Performance Period of additional performance goals relating to our profitability, retained earnings, prudential management objectivesregulatory capital-to-assets ratio, and certain other conditions described below.distributions in compliance with AHP funding requirements, through which the Level I Participant's compensation is impacted by our performance for a longer term. Depending on our performance during the Deferral Performance Period, the final award (i.e., the amount of the earned and vested Deferred Award ultimately paid to the Level I Participant) will be worth 75% at Threshold, 100% at Target or 125% at Maximum of the original amount of the Deferred Award. The level of achievement of those additional goals could causethereby result in an increase or decrease to the Deferred Awards.

2016 Annual Award (Paid in 2017). Pursuant to the Incentive Plan, the board of directors established the 2016 Annual Award Performance Period Goals, consisting of 4 mission goals, and 10 components within these goals, for all participants, including the NEOs. These goals were tied to profitability, member products, Information Technology performance and risk management performance. Our performance for 2016 resulted in a total weighted average payout of 96%. Although ERM had somewhat different goals for the 2016 Annual Award Performance Period, its 2016 performance also resulted in a total weighted average payout ratio of 96%.

For purposes of this goal, profitability is defined as the Bank’s profitability rate in excess of the Bank’s cost of funds rate. Profitability is the Bank’s adjusted net income reduced by the portion of net income to be added to restricted retained earnings under the JCE Agreement and increased by the Bank’s accruals for incentive compensation. Adjusted net income represents GAAP Net Income adjusted: (i) for the net impact of certain current and prior period Advance prepayments and debt extinguishments, net of the AHP assessment, (ii) to exclude mark-to-market adjustments on derivatives and certain other effects from derivatives and hedging activities, net of the AHP assessment, and (iii) to exclude the effects from interest expense on MRCS. The Bank’s profitability rate is profitability, as defined above, as a percentage of average total regulatory capital stock (B1 weighted at 100% and B2 weighted at 80% to reflect the relative weights of the Bank’s dividend). Assumes no material change in investment authority under the Finance Agency's regulation, policy, directive, guidance, or law.
(3)
Member advances growth is calculated as the growth in the average daily balance of advances outstanding to members at par. Average daily balances are used instead of point-in-time balances to eliminate point-in-time activity that may occur and to reward for the benefit of the income earned on advances balances while outstanding. Members that become non-members during 2017 and all captive insurance company members will be excluded from the calculation. Goal assumes no material change in membership eligibility under the Finance Agency's regulation, policy, directive, guidance, or law.

Member average daily advance balances are calculated for each member individually. This goal compares: (a) the average daily balance of advances outstanding at par to the member during calendar 2016, to (b) the average daily balance of advances outstanding at par to the same member during calendar 2017. Each member for which (b) is greater than (a) is counted as one member for purposes of this goal. Members that become non-members in 2017 will be excluded from the calculation.
(5)
Mortgage Delinquency Rate is the difference between (a) the 90 day MBA National Delinquency rate, expressed as a percentage, minus (b) the Bank's MPP conventional mortgage loan portfolio 90 day delinquency rate, expressed as a percentage. The measure is calculated as the simple average of four quarterly calculations.
(6)
Member participation is calculated by counting each member that delivers a mortgage loan through the Mortgage Purchase Program during 2017.

The Board has established three ERM Objectives for 2017. The first ERM Objective, develop Capital Adequacy and Loss Absorption Analysis, requires ERM to develop a process and perform an analysis of the Bank's capital adequacy and loss absorption capacity. The second ERM Objective, enhance ERM Oversight of Bank Information Security, requires ERM to establish and implement processes and procedures to enhance the Bank's ability to identify, measure, monitor, and evaluate information security risk and cybersecurity risk. The third ERM Objective, Acquired Member Asset Risk Analysis, requires ERM to develop and implement an integrated approach to evaluate the Bank's credit and market risk posed by its AMA portfolio. ERM will demonstrate its achievement of each ERM Objective by reporting on them to the Risk Committee and Risk Oversight Committee.
(9)
The Bank has established three Diversity and Inclusion (D&I) objectives for 2017. The first D&I Objective, Diversity Strategy, requires the Bank to develop a diversity and inclusion strategy for the Bank. The second D&I Objective, Employee Engagement, requires the Bank to host a diversity and inclusion employee engagement event. The third D&I Objective, Training, requires the Bank to hold diversity and inclusion training. Status and reporting on this Goal and its attainment will be provided in writing by the Bank's Minority and Women Inclusion Officer and CFO, and will be confirmed by the President - CEO. If one or more of these designated positions are open at the time any of the foregoing approvals are required, the General Counsel will be substituted.

As noted, 50%under the ERM column.
(2)    For purposes of each NEO's 2017 Award was deferredthis goal, profitability is defined as the Bank’s core net income, as defined below, as a percentage of average total regulatory capital stock, in excess of the Bank's weighted average cost of funds. Core net income is reduced by the portion of net income to be added to restricted retained earnings under the Joint Capital Enhancement Agreement dated August 5, 2011, as amended, by and among the Federal Home Loan Banks and increased by the Bank’s accruals for a three-year period.incentive compensation, net of the AHP assessment. Core net income represents GAAP Net Income adjusted to exclude: (i) debt extinguishment costs and Advance prepayment fees received in cash on unswapped Advances that are not restructured, net of the AHP assessment, (ii) mark-to-market adjustments and other transitory effects from derivatives and trading/hedging activities, net of the AHP assessment, (iii) interest expense on MRCS, (iv) realized gains and losses on sales of investment securities, net of the AHP assessment, (v) accelerated amortization of concession fees on called COs, net of the AHP assessment, and (vi) other non-recurring components of GAAP earnings that do not necessarily reflect the underlying results of the operations of the Bank, net of the AHP assessment. However, certain excluded amounts may require amortization included in other periods to properly state core net income. This goal assumes no material change in investment authority under the FHFA's regulation, policy, directive, guidance, or law.

For purposes of this goal, profitability is defined as the Bank’s profitability rate in excess of the Bank’s cost of funds rate. Profitability is the Bank’s adjusted net income reduced by the portion of net income to be added to restricted retained earnings under the JCE Agreement and increased by the Bank’s accruals for incentive compensation. Adjusted net income represents GAAP Net Income adjusted: (i) for the net impact of certain current and prior period Advance prepayments and debt extinguishments, net of the AHP assessment, (ii) to exclude mark-to-market adjustments on derivatives and certain other effects from derivatives and hedging activities, net of the AHP assessment, and (iii) to exclude the effects from interest expense on MRCS. The Bank’s profitability rate is profitability, as defined above, as a percentage of average total regulatory capital stock (B1 weighted at 100% and B2 weighted at 80% to reflect the relative weights of the Bank’s dividend). Assumes no material change in investment authority under the Finance Agency's regulation, policy, directive, guidance, or law.
(3)
(3)    Member advances growth is calculated as the growth in the average daily balance of advances outstanding to members at par. Average daily balances are used instead of point-in-time balances to eliminate point-in-time activity that may occur and to reward for the benefit of the income earned on advances balances while outstanding. Members that become non-members during 2018 and all captive insurance company members will be excluded from the calculation. Goal assumes no material change in membership eligibility under Finance Agency's regulation, policy, directive, guidance, or law.
(4)
Member education and outreach events are symposia, conferences, workshops, webinars (with a maximum of four webinars towards achievement of this goal), educational events, presentations at trade conferences, and other events educating Bank members about Advances, MPP, the Bank's community investments products and activities, industry trends, and other products and services. To qualify, events must target more than one member. Status and reporting on this Goal and its attainment will be provided in writing by the officer responsible for the event, and will be confirmed by the CFO or by the CBOO.
(5)
Net Growth is calculated as the increase in the size of the Bank's MPP portfolio measured as of December 31, 2017, and December 31, 2018. Net Growth is calculated: (a) excluding the effect of any allowances for loan losses on MPP balances; (b) excluding the effect of any AMA obtained from or through other Federal Home Loan Banks; (c) including both FHA and conventional loans; (d) assuming no capital requirement for MPP; and (e) assuming no material change in AMA authority under the Finance Agency's regulation, policy, directive, guidance, or law.
(6)
CIP Advances are newly-originated Community Investment Cash Advances, including CIP and other qualifying Advances and CIP qualified letters of credit, provided in support of targeted projects as defined in 12 C.F.R. Part 1291 and the Bank Act.

The Board has established three ERM Objectives for 2018. The first ERM Objective, Program Maturity Self-Assessment, requires ERM to perform a comprehensive, enterprise-wide self-assessment of the maturity of the Bank’s Enterprise Risk Management Program, and report on the results of the assessment to the Board. The second ERM Objective, Information Technology Assessment, requires ERM to assess the Bank’s information technology program against the Information Technology risk management framework and report on the results of the assessment to the Board. The third ERM Objective, Business Continuity, requires the Bank to operate under its business continuity / disaster recovery plan for a defined period of time, and to return back to normal operations. ERM will demonstrate its achievement of each ERM Objective by reporting on them to the Risk Committee and Risk Oversight Committee.
(8)
"Qualifying Vendors" are vendors that qualify as minorities, women, individuals with disabilities, and minority-, women-, and disabled-owned businesses.
(9)
Achievement of this goal requires the Bank to have designated a tool as its system of record for its end-user computing applications inventory, and to have performed an inventory of end-user computing applications using the tool. Satisfaction of this goal will be evidenced in one or more reports to the Bank's Risk Committee.

The weights and specific goals for the 2018 Performance Period differ in some respects from those used for the 2017 Performance Period.The threshold, target and/or maximum performance levels for profitability and advances growth were revised for 2018. The threshold and target performance levels for profitability were increased for 2018 compared to 2017 (to 415 bps from 290 bps, and to 571 bps from 480 bps, respectively), while the maximum performance level for profitability was reduced slightly for 2018 compared to 2017 (to 656 bps from 660 bps) to align those performance levels with our 2018 strategic financial forecast.

With respect to advances, the target mission goal for member advances growth was increased for 2018 compared to 2017 (to 1.38% from 1.3%) while the maximum mission goal for advances growth was reduced for 2018 compared to 2017 (to 3.15% from 3.5%), to align those performance levels with our 2018 strategic financial forecast. For 2018, the board of directors established a new mission goal, with specific minimum, target and maximum achievement levels, relating to the number of member education and outreach events conducted duringfor purposes of achievement include symposia, conferences, workshops, webinars, educational events, presentations at trade conferences, presentation to member Boards of Directors or Committees thereof or to management committees, in-person joint presentations to members and other events where Bank outreach staff (Account Managers, Senior Officers, CID Outreach Partners or Subject Matter Experts) educate, present, or engage Bank member representatives about Advances, MPP, the year. The combined weighted value of these two mission goals for 2018 (35%) is greater thanBank’s community investment products and activities, industry trends, and other products and services. Status and reporting on this Goal and its attainment will be supported by the combined weighted value of the 2017 advances-related mission goals (25%). The board of directors also eliminated a missionBank’s Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system. Achievement towards this goal used in 2017 relating towill be calculated by dividing the number of members that participated in one of the above events (defined as a member at the time of participation in the event) during the calendar year by the simple average of the total number of members of the Bank as of the end of each month of 2022.

With respect to OMWI, the board of directors established a new mission goal for 2018 relating to the Bank’s usage of third-party vendors meeting certain criteria, to reflect the importance of this objective to the board and to the Bank as a whole. As a result of regulatory changes, the board also eliminated for 2018 the OMWI-related mission goal used in the 2017 Performance Goals relating to strategy, engagement and training on diversity and inclusion matters. In addition, the board established a new mission goal for 2018, under which the Bank must designate a specific software tool as its system of record for its end-user computing applications and conduct an inventory using the designated tool.

The board of directors established separate weighted values for the 2018 Performance Period goals for ERM, as it did for the 2017 Performance Period.

For purposes of this goal, profitability is defined as the Bank's profitability rate in excess of the Bank's cost of funds rate. Profitability is the Bank's adjusted net income reduced by the portion of net income to be added to restricted retained earnings under the JCE Agreement and increased by the Bank's accruals for incentive compensation. Adjusted net income represents GAAP net income adjusted: (i) for the net impact of certain current and prior period advance prepayments and debt extinguishments, net of the AHP assessment, (ii) to exclude mark-to-market adjustments and certain other effects from derivatives and hedging activities, net of the AHP assessment, and (iii) to exclude the effects from interest expense on MRCS. The Bank's profitability rate, as defined above, as a percentage of average total regulatory capital stock (B1weighted at 100% and B2 weighted at 80% to reflect the relative weights of the Bank's divide). Assumes no material change in investment authority under the Finance Agency's regulation, policy, directive, guidance, or law.

(2)    Attainment of this goal will be computed using the simple average of annual profitability measures over the three-year period.

For purposes of this goal for 2020, profitability is defined as the Bank's profitability rate in excess of the Bank's cost of funds rate. Profitability is the Bank's adjusted net income reduced by the portion of net income to be added to restricted retained earnings under the Joint Capital Enhancement Agreement and increased by the Bank's accruals for incentive compensation. Adjusted net income represents GAAP net income adjusted: (i) for the net impact of certain current and prior period advance prepayments and debt extinguishments, net of the AHP assessment, (ii) to exclude mark-to-market adjustments on derivatives and certain other effects from derivatives and hedging activities, net of the AHP assessment, and (iii) to exclude the effects from interest expense on MRCS. The Bank's profitability rate is profitability, as defined above, as a percentage of average total regulatory capital stock (B1 weighted at 100% and B2 weighted at 80% to reflect the relative weights of the Bank's dividend). This goal assumes no material change in investment authority under the Finance Agency's regulation, policy, directive, guidance, or law.

Beginning in 2021, the definition of profitability was updated to reflect core net income (instead of adjusted net income) to further exclude realized gains and losses on sales of investment securities, accelerated amortization of concession fees on called COs, and other non-recurring components of GAAP earnings that do not necessarily reflect the underlying results of the operations of the Bank. Additionally, certain excluded amounts may require amortization included in other periods to properly state core net income.

For purposes of this goal for 2021 and 2022, profitability is defined as the Bank’s profitability rate in excess of the Bank’s cost of funds rate. Profitability is the Bank’s core net income reduced by the portion of net income to be added to restricted retained earnings under the JCE Agreement and increased by the Bank’s accruals for incentive compensation, net of the AHP assessment. Core net income represents GAAP Net Income adjusted to exclude: (i) debt extinguishment costs and Advance prepayment fees received in cash on unswapped Advances that are not restructured, net of the AHP assessment, (ii) mark-to-market adjustments and other transitory effects from derivatives and trading/hedging activities, net of the AHP assessment, (iii) interest expense on MRCS, (iv) realized gains and losses on sales of investment securities, net of the AHP assessment, (v) accelerated amortization of concession fees on called COs, net of the AHP assessment, and (vi) other non-recurring components of GAAP earnings that do not necessarily reflect the underlying results of the operations of the Bank, net of the AHP assessment. However, certain excluded amounts may require amortization included in other periods to properly state core net income. The Bank’s profitability rate is profitability, as defined above, as a percentage of average total regulatory capital stock. This goal assumes no material change in investment authority under the FHFA's regulation, policy, directive, guidance, or law.
(3)    Total retained earnings divided by the sum of the carrying value of the MBS and AMA portfolios. The calculation is the simple average of 36 month-end calculations.

2018 Deferred Award (Payable in 2022). The board of directors established Deferred Award Performance Goals for Level I Participants (which include all of our NEOs) for the three-year period ending December 31, 2021 ("2019-2021 Deferral Performance Period"), relating to our profitability, retained earnings and prudential management standards. The mission goals, weighted values and performance levels for the 2019-2021 Deferral Performance Period are the same as those previously established by the board for the 2018-2020 Deferral Performance Period and are substantially similar to those previously established by the board for each of the three-year Deferral Performance Periods covering 2015 through 2019.

Other Incentive Plan Provisions. The Incentive Plan provides that a termination of service of a Level I Participant during a Performance Period or Deferral Performance Period may result in the forfeiture of the Participant's award. TheHowever, the Incentive Plan recognizes certain exceptions to this general rule if the termination of service is (i) due to the Level I Participant's death, "Disability," or "Retirement"; (ii) for "Good Reason"; or (iii) without "Cause" due to a "Reduction in Force" (in each case as defined in the Incentive Plan). If one of these exceptions applies, a Level I Participant's Annual Award or Deferred Awards generally will be treated as earned and vested, and will be calculated using certain assumptions with respect to our achievement of applicable performance goals for the applicable Performance Period or Deferral Performance Period. PaymentAdditionally, payment of an award may be accelerated if the Participantparticipant dies or becomes "Disabled" while an employee of the Bank, or if the termination is without "Cause" due to a "Reduction in Force".

If, during a Deferral Performance Period, we realize actual losses or other measures or aspects of performance related to the Performance Period or Deferral Performance Period that would have caused a reduction in the final award for the Performance Period or Deferral Performance Period, the remaining amount of the final award to be paid at the end of the Deferral Performance Period will be reduced to reflect this additional information. In addition, all or a portion of an award may be forfeited at the direction of the board of directors if we have failed to remediate to the satisfaction of the board an unsafe or unsound practice or condition (as identified by the Finance Agency) that is material to our financial operation and within the Level I Participant's area(s) of responsibility. Under such circumstances, the board may also direct the cessation of payments for a vested award. Further, the board may reduce or eliminate an award that is otherwise earned but not yet paid if the board finds that a serious, material safety-soundness problem or a serious, material risk management deficiency exists at our Bank, or in certain other circumstances.


Retirement Benefits.We have established and maintain a comprehensive retirement program for our NEOs. During 2017, we providedemployees, which includes our qualified (DB Plan) and non-qualified (SERP) defined benefit plans and our qualified (DC Plan) and non-qualified (SETP) defined contribution plans to certain of our NEOs.plans. The benefits provided by these plans are components of the total compensation opportunity for NEOs.our employees. The board of directors believes that these plans serve as valuable retention tools and provide significant tax deferral opportunities and resources for the participants' long-range financial planning. These plans are discussed below.


Pension and Thrift Plans - In General. Our retirement program is comprised of two qualified retirement plans: the DB Plan (for eligible employees hired before February 1, 2010) and the DC Plan (for all eligible employees).

Our board of directors established a SERP in 1993 in response to federal legislation that imposes restrictions on the retirement benefits otherwise earned by executives. The SERP was frozen, effective December 31, 2004, and is now referred to as the "Frozen SERP." A separate SERP ("2005 SERP") was established effective January 1, 2005 to conform to the IRC Section 409A regulations. As described below, the SERP restores retirement benefits of NEO participants and certain other employees under the DB Plan that would otherwise be limited by Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") regulations. The DB Plan and SERP provide benefits based on a combination of a participant's length of service, age and annual compensation.

In November 2015, we established the SETP, effective January 1, 2016. As described below, the purpose of the SETP is to permit the NEOs and certain other employees to elect to defer compensation in addition to their DC Plan deferrals. The DC Plan and SETP provide benefits based upon amounts deferred by the participant and employer matching contributions based upon the amount of the participant's deferral and compensation. In addition, as described below, the DC Plan and SETP provide enhanced benefits for qualified employees who do not participate in the DB Plan. The DB Plan, the SERP, the DC Plan and the SETPhave all been amended and restated from time to time to comply with changes in laws and regulations of the IRS and to modify certain benefit features.    
DB Plan and SERP.SERP. All employees who met the eligibility requirements and were hired before February 1, 2010 participate in the DB Plan, a tax-qualified, multiple employer defined benefit pension plan. The plan neither requires nor permits employee contributions. Participants' pensionPension benefits vest upon completion of five years of service. Benefits under the DB Plan are based upon compensationcompensation up to the annual compensation limit established by the IRS,Internal Revenue Service ("IRS"), which was $270,000$305,000 in 2017.2022. In addition, benefits payable to participants in the DB Plan may not exceed a maximum benefit limit established by the IRS, which in 20172022 was $215,000,$245,000, payable as a single life annuity at normal retirement age.


In connection with the DB Plan, the board of directors established a supplemental non-qualified plan in 1993 in response to federal legislation that imposed restrictions on the retirement benefits otherwise earned by certain management or highly-compensated employees. The original supplemental non-qualified plan was frozen effective December 31, 2004, and is now referred to as the "Frozen SERP." A separate SERP ("2005 SERP") was established effective January 1, 2005 to conform to Internal Revenue Code Section 409A requirements. The SERP as a non-qualifiedis an extension of our retirement plan, preservescommitment to the NEO participants and certain highly-compensated employees. The SERP restores the full pension benefits that are not payable fromof NEO participants and certain other employees under the DB Plan due tothat would otherwise be limited by IRS limitationsregulations regarding compensation, years of service or benefits payable. The DB Plan and SERP provide benefits based on a combination of a participant's length of service, age and annual compensation. In determining whether a participant is entitled to a restoration of retirement benefits, the SERP utilizes the identical benefit formula applicable to the DB Plan. In the event that the benefit payable from the DB Plan has been reduced or otherwise limited due to IRS limitations, the participant's lost benefits areBenefits payable under the terms2005 SERP are reduced by (among other things) benefit amounts that would have been payable under the Frozen SERP, calculated as if the participant in the Frozen SERP had terminated employment on December 31, 2004. SERP benefits are funded by a grantor trust we have established as part of the SERP. In this respect,Bank's general assets. The assets of the grantor trust are subject to the claims of our general creditors. Any rights created under the SERP is an extensionare unsecured contractual rights of our retirement commitment to the NEO participants and certain other employees as highly-compensated employees.against the Bank.

Our board of directors amended the DB Plan, effective for all employees hired on or after July 1, 2008, to provide a reduced benefit. All eligible employees hired on or before June 30, 2008 (including two NEOs) were grandfathered under the benefit formula and the terms of the DB Plan in effect as of June 30, 2008 ("Grandfathered DB Plan") and are eligible to continue under the Grandfathered DB Plan, (except as described below in footnote 4 to the Pension Benefits Table), subject to future plan amendments made by the board of directors. All eligible employees hired on or after July 1, 2008 but before February 1, 2010 (including two NEOs) are enrolled in the amended DB Plan ("Amended DB Plan"). Thus, as shown below in the Pension Benefits Table, as of December 31, 2017, four NEOs participate (or have previously accumulated benefits) in either the Grandfathered DB Plan or the Amended DB Plan and three of those four are eligible to participate in the SERP.


During 2010, our board of directors discontinued eligibility in the Amended DB Plan for new employees. As a result, no employee hired on or after February 1, 2010 is enrolled in that plan, while participants in the Grandfathered DB Plan or Amended DB Plan as of January 31, 2010 continue to be eligible for the GrandfatheredGrandfathered DB Plan or Amended DB Plan (and, as applicable, the 2005 SERP) and accrue benefits thereunder until termination of employment.


Effective August 1, 2021, our board of directors amended the 2005 SERP to enhance the retention of participating employees. The amendment provides greater predictability of the dollar amount of benefits payable upon separation of employment or retirement from the Bank. The applicable retirement plan interest rates and mortality tables used to calculate benefits are set as of May 2021 and June 2021, respectively, rather than as of the employee's date of separation of employment or retirement. The amendment included similar provisions for the calculation of death benefits payable, except that the applicable retirement plan interest rates and mortality tables are set as of July 2021 and June 2021, respectively. While the long-term impact of the amendment on employees' pension values is expected to be favorable to the employee, the amendment had a one-time unfavorable impact on employees' pension values in 2021.

Grandfathered DB Plan.The following table shows estimated annual benefits payable upon retirement at age 65 by combining the Grandfathered DB Plan and the SERP. The estimated annual benefits are calculated in accordance with the formula currently in effect for specified years of service and compensation for individuals participating in both plans,the Grandfathered DB Plan and the SERP, and hired prior to July 1, 2008.2008, which includes Ms. Konich and Mr. McGrath.

 962,500
1,200,000 900,000

Formula: The combined Grandfathered DB Plan and SERP benefit equals 2.5% times years of benefit service times the high three-yearthree-consecutive-year average compensation. Benefit service begins one year after employment, and benefits are vested after five years. Benefit payments commencing before age 65 are reduced by applying an early retirement factor based on the participant's age when payments begin. The allowance payable at age 65 would be reduced by 3.0% for each year the employee is under age 65. However, if the sum of age and years of vesting service at termination of employment is at least 70 ("Rule of 70"), the retirement allowance would be reduced by 1.5% for each year the employee is under age 65. Beginning at age 66, retirees are also provided an annual retiree cost of living adjustment of 3.0% per year, which is not reflected in the table.year.

Amended DB Plan.Example: The following table shows estimated annual benefits payable upon retirement at age 65 by combining the AmendedGrandfathered DB Plan and the 2005 SERP. SERP for an eligible employee with 25 years of service and high 3-consecutive-year average compensation of $1,000,000 would be $625,000 ($1,000,000 * 2.5% * 25).

Amended DB Plan.The estimated annual benefits are calculated in accordance with the formula currently in effect for specified years of service and compensation for individuals participating in both plans,the Amended DB Plan and the SERP, hired on or after July 1, 2008 but before February 1, 2010. 2010, which includes Mr. Teare.

Formula: The combined Amended DB Plan and 2005 SERP benefit equals 1.5% times years of benefit service times the high five-yearfive-consecutive-year average compensation. The benefit is not payable under the Frozen SERP because no participant in the Amended DB Plan is an eligible participant in the Frozen SERP. Benefit service begins 1one year after employment, and benefits are vested after five years. The allowance payable at age 65 would be reduced according to the actuarial equivalent based on actual age when early retirement commences. Benefit payments commencing before age 65 are reduced by applying an early retirement factor based on the participant's age when payments begin. If a participant satisfied the Rule of 70 at termination of employment, the retirement allowance would be reduced by 3.0% for each year the participant is under age 65.
Example: The estimated annual benefits payable upon retirement at age 65 by combining the Amended DB Plan and the SERP for an eligible employee with 20 years of service and high 5-consecutive-year average compensation of $1,000,000 would be $300,000 ($1,000,000 * 1.5% * 20).

DC Plans and SETP. The Bank participated in the Pentegra Defined Contribution Retirement Savings Plan for Financial Institutions, as amended, a multiple employer retirement savings plan qualified under Internal Revenue Code Section 401(k), through October 1, 2020. Effective October 2, 2020, the Bank adopted the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis Retirement Savings Plan, which is a single employer retirement savings plan qualified under Internal Revenue Code Section 401(k). The terms of such plans are substantially the same and are collectively referred to as the "DC Plan."
DC Plan and SETP.
All employees including the NEOs, who have met the eligibility requirements may participate in the DC Plan, a retirement savings plan qualified under IRC Section 401(k).Plan. All of the NEOs participate in the DC Plan. The DC Plan generally provides for an immediate (after the first month of hire) fully vested employer match of 100% on the first 6% of base pay thatsalary of the participant contributes. In November 2017, the board of directors approved an amendment to the DC Plan, effective January 1, 2018, to establish an employer-funded non-elective contribution ("NEC") program. This plan amendment ("NEC Amendment") provides an additional employer-funded benefit for certain DC Plan participants, including two of our NEOs, who were hired (or re-hired)participant's biweekly contributions on a pre-tax, post-tax, and/or after February 1, 2010 and therefore do not participate (or do not currently accumulate benefits) in the Grandfathered DB Plan or the Amended DB Plan. Under the NEC Amendment, the Bank will make an additional NEC of 4% of base pay per year to the DC Plan account of each employee who is eligible to participate in the DC Plan and does not participate in the DB Plan. The NEC Amendment further provides for a vesting schedule for NECs based on an employee's years of service at the Bank. Partial vesting begins when an eligible employee has attained at least two years of service. Eligible employees become fully vested in their NECs when they have attained five years of service.Roth basis.


Eligible compensation in the DC Plan is defined as base salary. A participant in the DC Plan may elect to contribute up to 50% of eligible compensation, subject to the following limits. Under IRS regulations, in 20172022 an employee could contribute up to $18,000$20,500 of eligible compensation on a pre-tax basis, and an employee age 50 or over could contribute up to an additional $6,000$6,500 on a pre-tax basis. Participant contributions over that amount may be made on an after-tax basis.basis but are also limited by Section 415 of the IRC. A total of $54,000$61,000 per year ($60,00067,500 per year including catch-up contributions for employees age 50 or over) could have been contributed to a participant's account in 2017,2022, including our matching contribution and the participant's pre-tax and after-tax contributions. In addition, no more than $270,000$305,000 of annual compensation could have been taken into account in computing eligible compensation in 2017.2022. The amount deferred on a pre-tax basis will beis taxed to the participant as ordinary income when distributed from the DC Plan. The plan permits participants to self-direct the investment of their DC Plan accountsaccount into one or more investment funds. All returns are at the market rate of the respective fund(s) selected by the participant.


The DC Plan also permits a participant (in addition to making pre-tax elective deferrals) to fund a separate "Roth Elective Deferral Account" (also known as a "Roth 401(k)") with after-tax contributions. A participant may make both pre-tax and Roth 401(k) contributions, subject to the limitations described in the previouspreceding paragraph. All Bank contributions will beare allocated to the participant's safe-harborDC Plan account, subject to the maximum match amount described above. Under current IRS rules, withdrawals from a Roth 401(k) account (including investment gains) are tax-free after the participant reaches age 59 1/2 and if the withdrawal occurs at least five years after January 1 of the first year in which a contribution to the Roth 401(k) account occurs. In addition, the DC Plan permits in-plan Roth conversions, which allow participants to convert certain vested contributions into Roth contributions, similar to a Roth Individual Retirement Account conversion.


Any Bank employeeEffective January 1, 2018, the board of directors established, within the DC Plan, an employer-funded non-elective contribution ("NEC") program. The NEC provides an additional employer-funded benefit for all employees who is a participanthave met the eligibility requirements to participate in the DC Plan who were hired on or after February 1, 2010 and therefore do not participate in the Grandfathered DB Plan or the Amended DB Plan. The Bank makes this additional NEC of 4% of base salary per year to the DC Plan account of each participant. The NEC is upon approval bysubject to a vesting schedule based on a participant's years of service at the Bank. Partial vesting begins when a participant has attained at least two years of service. Participants become fully vested in their NECs when they have attained five years of service. Mr. Streitenberger and Mr. Dawson receive the NEC and are fully vested.

In November 2015, the board of directors eligibleestablished the SETP, effective January 1, 2016. As described below, the purpose of the SETP is to become apermit the NEOs and certain other employees to elect to defer compensation in addition to compensation deferred under the DC Plan. The DC Plan and SETP provide benefits based upon amounts deferred by the participant in the SETP. and employer-matching contributions.

Each DC Plan participant who is an officer with a title of First Vice President or a higher officer levelmore senior (which includes all NEOs) is automatically eligible to become a SETP participant. We intend thatIn addition, the board of directors in its discretion may designate other DC Plan participants as eligible to participate. The SETP constituteconstitutes a nonqualified deferred compensation arrangement that complies with IRCInternal Revenue Code Section 409A regulations. The SETPregulations and permits a participant to elect to have all or a portion of his or hersuch participant's base salary and/or annual incentive plan payment withheld and credited to the participant's deferral contributionSETP account. The SETP provides that,Under this plan, subject to certain limitations, the Bank will contribute to the participant's account each plan year, up to the contribution that would have been made for the benefit of the participant under the DC Plan, including, if applicable, the NECs described above, as if the participant did not participate in the SETP and without regard to benefit or compensation limits imposed by the IRC.Internal Revenue Code. The plan permits participants to self-direct the investment of their deferred contributionSETP account into one or more investment funds. All returns are at the market rate of the respective fund(s) selected by the participant. ThePlan benefits are paid out of an investment account established for each participant under a grantor trust that we have established outas part of our general assets. The assets of the grantor trust are subject to the claims of our general creditors. The trust will be maintained such that the SETP is at all times considered unfunded and constitutes a mere promise by the Bank to make SETP benefit payments in the future. Any rights created under the SETPthis plan are unsecured contractual rights against the Bank.

Effective January 1, 2022, the board of directors authorized the Bank to begin making an additional NEC of 6% of base salary per year to the SETP ("SETP NEC") for executive officers that do not participate in either the Grandfathered DB Plan or the Amended DB Plan. The SETP NEC is subject to a vesting schedule based on a participant's years of service at the Bank. Partial vesting begins when a participant has attained at least two years of service. Participants become fully vested in their SETP NECs when they have attained five years of service. Mr. Streitenberger and Mr. Dawson are both fully vested in the SETP NEC.

The DB Plan, the 2005 SERP, the DC Plan and the SETP have all been amended from time to time to comply with changes in laws and IRS regulations and to clarify or modify other benefit features.

Perquisites and Other Benefits.We offer the following additional perquisites and other benefits to all employees, including the NEOs, under the same general terms and conditions:
 
medical, dental, and vision insurance (subject to employee expense sharing);
vacation leave, which increases based upon officer title and years of service;
life and long-term disability insurance (the PEOCEO, CFO, and the PFOCBOO are eligible for enhanced monthly benefits under our disability insurance program);
travel and accident insurance, as well as kidnappingspecial crime coverage, which include life insurance benefits;
educational assistance;
employee relocation assistance, where appropriate, for new hires; and
student loan repayment assistance.


In addition, we provide as a taxable benefit to the NEOs and certain other officers limited spouse/guest travel to board of directors meetings and preapproved industry activities (limited to two events per year unless otherwise approved by the President - CEO, or by the Chief Internal Audit Officer in the case of the President - CEO).activities.
 
Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control.


Severance Pay Plan. The board of directors has adopted a Severance Pay Plan that pays each NEO, upon a qualifying termination as described below (or in the Bank's discretion on a case-by-case basis), up to a maximum 52 weeks of base paysalary computed at the rate of 4four weeks of severance pay for each year of service with a minimum of 8eight weeks of base paysalary to be paid. In addition, the plan pays a lump sum amount equal to the NEO's cost to maintain health insurance coverage under thea Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act ("COBRA")-like coverage for the time period applicable under the severance pay schedule. The Severance Pay Plan may be amended or eliminated by the board at any time. Receipt of benefits under the Severance Pay Plan is conditioned on the execution of a binding separation contract.


The Severance Pay Plan does not apply to NEOs who have entered into a KESA with the Bank or who are participants under the Bank's Key Employee Severance Policy ("KESP") if a qualifying event has triggered payment under the terms of the KESA or the KESP. As of the filing date of this Report,Form 10-K, Ms. Konich is the only NEO with whom we have a KESA; all other NEOs are participants under the KESP. If any NEO's employment is terminated, but a qualifying event under the KESA or the KESP, as applicable, has not occurred, the provisions of the Severance Pay Plan apply.


The following qualifying events will trigger an NEO's right to severance benefits under the Severance Pay Plan:
 
the elimination of a job or position;
a reduction in force;
a substantial job modification, to the extent the incumbent NEO is no longer qualified for, or is unable to perform, the restructured job; or
the reassignment of staff requiring the relocation by more than 75 miles of the NEO's primary residence.residence; or

termination of employment in connection with a reorganization, merger or other change of control of the Bank.

In addition, the Bank has discretion under the Severance Pay Plan to provide additional pay or outplacement services to amicably resolve employment separations involving our NEOs and other employees.





The following table listspresents the estimated amounts that would have been payable to the NEOs under the Severance Pay Plan if triggered as of December 31, 2017,2022, absent a qualifying event that would result in payments under Ms. Konich's KESA or the KESP.

Key Employee Severance Agreement and Key Employee Severance Policy. In general, key employee severance arrangements in the form of agreements or a board-approved policy are intended to promote retention of certain officers in the event of discussions concerning a possible reorganization or change in control of the Bank, to ensure that merger or reorganization opportunities are evaluated objectively, and to provide compensation and other benefits to covered employees under certain circumstances in the event of a consolidation, change in control or reorganization of the Bank. As described in the following paragraphs, these arrangements provide for payment and, in some cases, continued and/or increased benefits if the officer's employment terminates under certain circumstances in connection with a reorganization, merger or other change in control of the Bank. If we were not in compliance with all applicable regulatory capital or regulatory leverage requirements at the time payment under the KESA or KESP becomes due, or if the payment would cause our Bank to fall below applicable regulatory requirements, the payment would be deferred until such time as we achieve compliance with such requirements. Moreover, if we were insolvent, have had a receiver or conservator appointed, or were in "troubled condition" at the time payment under an arrangement becomes due, the Finance Agency could deem such a payment to be subject to its rules limiting golden parachute payments.


Key Employee Severance Agreement.Ms. Konich's KESA was entered into during 2007. Under the terms of her agreement, Ms. Konich is entitled to a lump sum payment equal to a multiplier of the average of her three preceding calendar years':


base salary (less salary deferrals), bonus, and other cash compensation;
salary deferrals and employer matching contributions under the DC Plan and SETP; and
taxable portion of automobile allowance, if any.


Ms. Konich is entitled to a multiplier of 2.99, if she terminates for "good reason" or is terminated "without cause" during a period beginning 12 months before and ending 24 months after a reorganization. This agreement also provides that benefits payable to Ms. Konich pursuant to the SERP would be calculated as if she were three years older and had three more years of benefit service. The agreement with Ms. Konich also provides her with coverage for 36 months under our medical and dental insurance plans in effect at the time of termination (subject to her payment of the employee portion of the cost of such coverage).


We do not believe payments to Ms. Konich under the KESA would be subject to the restriction on change-in-control payments under IRCInternal Revenue Code Section 280G or the excise tax applicable to excess change-in-control payments, because we are exempt from these requirements as a tax-exempt instrumentality of the United States government. If it were determined, however, that Ms. Konich is liable for such excise tax payment,payment, the agreement provides for a "gross-up" of the benefits to cover such excise tax payment. This gross-up of approximately $2.8$3.5 million is not shown as a component of the value of the KESA in the table below.

Table of Contents


Further, the agreement with Ms. Konich provides that she will be reimbursed for all reasonable accounting, legal, financial advisory and actuarial fees and expenses she incurs with respect to execution of the agreement or at the time of payment under the agreement. The agreement also provides that Ms. Konich will be reimbursed for all reasonable legal fees and expenses she incurs if we contest the enforceability of the KESA or the calculation of the amounts payable under the agreement, so long as she is wholly or partially successful on the merits or the parties agree to a settlement of the dispute.

Key Employee Severance Policy.On March 9, 2017,We maintain the board of directors adopted the KESP, effective as of that date, which establishes three participation levels for covered employees: (i) Level 1 Participants, which include any Executive Vice President, (ii) Level 2 Participants, which include any Senior Vice President, and (iii) Level 3 Participants, which include any other officer designated by the HR Committee to be a Level 3 Participant from time to time. Thus, covered executives under the KESP (as of the filing date of this Form 10-K) include all NEOs other than Ms. Konich. Mr. Teare, Mr. McGrath, and Mr. MillerStreitenberger are Level 1 Participants, andParticipants. Mr. Short and Ms. Kleiman areDawson is a Level 2 Participants.Participant.


Under the KESP, if the covered employee terminates for "good reason" or is terminated without "cause," in either case within six months before or 24 months after a reorganization, the covered employee is entitled to a lump-sum payment equal to a multiple (2.0 for Level 1 Participants, 1.5 for Level 2 Participants and 1.0 for Level 3 Participants) of the average of his or her three preceding calendar years' base salary (inclusive of amounts deferred under a qualified or nonqualified plan) and gross bonus (inclusive of amounts deferred under a qualified or nonqualified plan); provided that, for any calendar year in which the covered employee received base salary for less than the entire year, the gross amount shall be annualized as if such amount had been payable for the entire calendar year. All amounts payable under the KESP are capped at an amount equal to one dollar ($1) less than the aggregate amount which would otherwise cause any such payments to be considered a “parachute payment”"parachute payment" within the meaning of Section 280G of the IRC.Internal Revenue Code.


In addition, to the extent the covered employee is eligible, he or she will continue after a compensated termination to be covered by the Bank’s medical and dental insurance plans in effect immediately prior to the compensated termination, subject to the covered employee’s payment of the employee’s portion of the cost of such continued coverage. The coverage will continue for Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 Participants for 24 months, 18 months and 12 months, respectively. In the event the covered employee is ineligible under the terms of such plans for continuing coverage or such plans shall have been modified, the Bank will provide through other sources coverage which is substantially equivalent to the coverage provided immediately prior to the compensated termination, subject to the covered employee’s payment of a comparable portion of the cost of such continued coverage as under the Bank’s medical and dental insurance plans. The KESP also provides for outplacement services for all covered employees.

(2)
These amounts represent a change in pension value under the Grandfathered DB Plan, Amended DB Plan and the SERP, as applicable. The change in pension values are determined by calculating the present values of pension benefits accrued through the beginning and ending plan valuation dates. The calculations incorporate various assumptions and changes in compensation, age and service, and utilize discount interest rates based on market interest rates. Therefore, changes in market interest rates can have a significant impact on the change in pension value. The discount rates used as of December 31, 2017 were significantly lower than the discount rates used as of December 31, 2016, which caused a significant increase in the change in pension values for 2017. No NEO received preferential or above-market earnings on deferred compensation.

The calculations incorporate various assumptions and changes in compensation, age and tenure, and utilize discount interest rates based on applicable interest rates. Therefore, changes in applied interest rates can have a significant impact on the aggregate.change in pension value.

(1)    The Incentive Plan - Annual payout is the amount expected to be paid when meeting the respective achievement level for each of the components of the 2022 Annual Award Performance Period Goals. There was no guaranteed payout under the 2022 Annual Award provisions of the Incentive Plan. Therefore, the minimum that could be paid out under this plan is $0 for each NEO.
(2)    The Incentive Plan - Deferred threshold payout is based upon the amount earned under the Incentive Plan - Annual and is further dependent on attaining the threshold over the Deferral Performance Period (2023-2025). The threshold is the amount expected to be paid when meeting the threshold for achievement under the Deferred Award provisions of the Incentive Plan over the three-year period. Depending on our performance during the Deferral Performance Period, the Final Award will be worth 75% at Threshold, 100% at Target or 125% at Maximum of the original amount of the Deferred Award (from the Incentive Plan - Annual Award Performance Period table previously presented). There is no guaranteed payout under the Deferred Award provisions of the Incentive Plan. Therefore, the minimum that could be paid out to an NEO under this plan is $0.

The Incentive Plan - Annual threshold payout is the amount expected to be paid when meeting the threshold for the smallest weighted of the eight components of the 2017 Annual Award Performance Period Goals. If the threshold for the smallest weighted of the eight components was achieved, but the threshold for all of the other components was not reached, the payout would be 5.00% of the maximum Annual Award for Ms. Konich, 3.75% for Mr. Miller, and 5.00% for Mr. Teare, Ms. Kleiman, and Mr. Short (2.50% x earned base salary for Ms. Konich, 1.50% x earned base salary for Miller, 2.00% x earned base salary for Mr. Teare, and 1.75% x earned base salary for Ms. Kleiman and Mr. Short). There was no guaranteed payout under the 2017 Annual Award provisions of the Incentive Plan. Therefore, the minimum that could be paid out under this plan is $0 for each NEO. The Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation - 2017 table previously presented shows the amounts actually earned and paid under the 2017 Annual Award provisions of the Incentive Plan.

The Incentive Plan - Deferred threshold payout is based upon the amount earned under the Incentive Plan - Annual and is further dependent on attaining the threshold over the three-year deferral period (2018-2020). The threshold is the amount expected to be paid when meeting the threshold for achievement under the Deferred Award provisions of the Incentive Plan over the three-year period. Depending on our performance during the Deferral Performance Period, the Final Award will be worth 75% at Threshold, 100% at Target or 125% at Maximum of the original amount of the Deferred Award (from the 2017 Incentive Plan - Annual Award Performance Period table previously presented). There is no guaranteed payout under the Deferred Award provisions of the Incentive Plan. Therefore, the minimum that could be paid out to an NEO under this plan is $0.

Principal Executive Officer Pay Ratio Disclosure


Our President - CEO is our PEO.Principal Executive Officer ("PEO"). As described below,below, for the year ended December 31, 2017,2022, we determined the ratio of the total compensation, as determined in the Summary Compensation Table ("Total Compensation"), of our PEO to the Total Compensation of the Bank's median employee.


Total Compensation includes, among other components, amounts attributable to changessalary, non-equity incentive compensation, and change in pension value. Amounts reported as change in pension value underare attributable to the Bank's Grandfathered DB Plan, Amended DB Plan and the SERP, as applicable. Such change in pension value represents the difference between the present value of pension benefits accrued through the beginning valuation date and the present value of pension benefits accrued through the ending valuation date. The present value calculations incorporate many assumptions and utilize discount rates based on market interest rates. The discountTherefore, changes in market interest rates used as of December 31, 2017 were significantly lower than the discount rates used as of December 31, 2016, which causedcan have a significant increase inimpact on the change in pension values for 2017. Conversely, an increase in discount rates, all else being equal, would have caused a decrease in the pension value. Additionally, the change in pension value varies considerably among employees based upon their tenure at the Bank, their annual compensation and several other factors. Finally, no portion of this change in pension value has been paid or made available towas received by the PEO or median employee; in fact, no portion isof the change in pension value will be realizable or made available to the PEO or median employee until a qualifying event, occurs, such as retirement.retirement, occurs.


For 2017,2022, the Total Compensation of the PEO was $5,624,749.$3,723,303. As of December 31, 2017,2022, our PEO had 3338 years of credited service under the Grandfathered DB Plan and SERP. Her Total Compensation therefore includes the change in the present value of her pension benefits, which amounted to $3,980,000,is reported as $1,713,000, and, as a result, constituted 71%46% of her reported 20172022 Total Compensation. Excluding the 2017 change in pension value, the PEO’s Total Compensation was $1,644,749.


WeAs required by SEC rules, we identified thea new median employee byfor our pay ratio disclosures in 2020. For each of our full-time and part-time employees on the last pay date of 2020, we first determiningdetermined the actual or annualized total of salary, wages, bonuses (if any) and incentive awards (collectively, "cash compensation") for each of the full-time and part-time employees of our Bank on the last pay date of 2017 and annualizing the cash compensation of those who were not employed by the Bank for all of 2017.2020. We then ranked the 20172020 annual cash compensation for all such employees from lowest to highest, excluding the PEO.


There were two employeesThe employee at the median based on cash compensation but neither participatesdoes not participate in aany pension plan. We therefore selected as the median employee the individual who participates in the same plan as our PEO (the Grandfathered DB Plan), and whose 20172020 annual cash compensation was closest to that of the actual median employees.employee and who participates in the same pension plan as our PEO (the Grandfathered DB Plan). We made no other material assumptions or adjustments in identifying the median employee. We then calculated the median employee's Total Compensation in the same manner that we calculated Total Compensation for the PEO. This approach ensures that the median employee's Total Compensation, like the PEO's Total Compensation, includes a change in pension value under the same plan and thereby provides an appropriate comparison. We then calculated

For 2022, the Total Compensation of the median employee was $153,623. As of December 31, 2022, our median employee had 15 years of credited service in the DB Plan. However, the median employee had a decrease in the present value of the employee's pension benefits. Therefore, in accordance with SEC guidance, the change in pension value used in the calculation of the median employee's Total Compensation in the same manner that we calculated Total Compensation for the PEO.

The median employee’s Total Compensation consisted of cash compensation of $120,670 and change in pension value, based on nine years of credited service, of $65,000, for a total of $185,670.is $0. As a result, the ratio of the PEO’s Total Compensation to that of the median employee was 30:24:1. Excluding the 20172022 changes in pension value from the Total Compensation of both the PEO'sPEO and the median employee's Total Compensation,employee, the ratio was 14:13:1.







Director Compensation


Finance Agency regulations provide that each FHLBank may pay its directors reasonable compensation for the time required of them and their necessary expenses in the performance of their duties, as determined by a compensation policy to be adopted annually by the FHLBank's board of directors. The Finance Agency Director annually reviews the compensation and expenses of FHLBank directors and has the authority to determine that the compensation and/or expenses paid to directors are not reasonable. In such case, the Director could order the FHLBank to refrain from making any further payments; however, such an order would only be applied prospectively and would not affect any compensation earned but unpaid or expenses incurred but not yet reimbursed.


20172022 Compensation. In October 2016, after consideration of McLagan's market research data, a director fee comparison among the FHLBanks and our ability to recruit and retain highly-qualified directors, our board adopted a director compensation and travel expense policy for 2017 ("2017 Policy"). Under the 2017 Policy, compensation was comprised of per-day attendance fees for mandatory in-person events, per-call fees for participating in conference calls and quarterly retainer fees, subject to the combined fee cap shown below. The fees were intended to compensate directors for:

time spent reviewing materials sent to them on a periodic basis;
preparing for meetings and teleconference calls;
actual time spent attending meetings and participating in conference calls of our board of directors or its committees; and
participating in any other activities, such as attending new director orientations and director meetings called by the Finance Agency or the Council of FHLBanks.

Member marketing meetings and customer appreciation events were not counted in calculating the in-person meeting fees. Additional compensation was paid for serving as chair or vice chair of the board or as chair of a board committee. Director per-day and per-call fees were subject to forfeiture and penalties in certain circumstances for excessive absences. In addition, the 2017 Policy authorized a reduction of a director's quarterly retainer fee if a majority of disinterested directors determined that such director's performance, ethical conduct or attendance was significantly deficient. Because we are a cooperative and only member institutions can own our stock, no director may receive equity-based compensation. Director fees were paid at the end of each quarter.

The following table summarizes the payment terms of the 2017 Policy as approved by the board of directors.

The amounts listed in this table do not reflect any reduction for 2017 compensation deferred by a director under the DDCP described below, or earnings on such deferred compensation. Eight directors elected to defer all or a portion of their 2017 compensation pursuant to the DDCP.

We provide various travel, accident, and kidnapping insurance coverages for all of our directors, officers and employees. These policies provide a life insurance benefit in the event of death within the scope of the policy. Our total annual premium for these coverages for all directors, officers and employees was $8,118 for 2017.

We also reimburse directors or directly pay for reasonable travel and related expenses in accordance with the director compensation and travel reimbursement policy. Total travel and related meeting expenses reimbursed to or paid for directors, together with other meeting expenses, totaled $252,252 for the year ended December 31, 2017.

2018 Compensation. In September 2017,November 2021, after considering McLagan market data research and a director fee comparison among the FHLBanks, the board of directors adopted a director compensation and expense reimbursement policy for 20182022 ("20182022 Policy"). Under the 20182022 Policy, each director hashad an opportunityopportunity to earn an annual fee (divided into quarterly payments), subject to the combined fee limit shown below. The fees arewere intended to reflect the time required of directors in the performance of official Bank and board business, measured principally by meeting attendance thresholds and participation at board and committee meetings and secondarily by performance of other duties, which include:


preparing for board and committee meetings;
chairing meetings as appropriate;
reviewing materials sent to directors on a periodic basis;
attending other related events such as management conferences, FHLBank System meetings, director training and new director orientation; and
fulfilling the responsibilities of directors.


Additional compensation is paid for serving as chair or vice chair of the board of directors or as chair of a board committee. Because we are a cooperative and only member institutions may own our stock, no director may receive equity-based compensation. The 20182022 Policy provides that director fees were to be paid at the end of each quarter.

The 2022 Policy authorizes a reduction of a director’s fourth quarterly payment if a majority of disinterested directors determines that such director’s performance, ethical conduct or attendance is significantly deficient. Because we are a cooperative and only member institutions may own our stock, no director may receive equity-based compensation. The 2018 Policy provides that director fees are to be paid at the end of each quarter.No such reductions occurred for 2022.

These policies provide a life insurance benefit in the event of death within the scope of the policy. We also reimburse directors or directly pay for reasonable travel and related expenses in accordance with the director compensation and travel reimbursement policy.
Directors' Deferred Compensation Plan. In November 2015, we established the DDCP, effective January 1, 2016. The DDCP permits members of our board of directors to elect to defer all or a portion of the fees payable to them for a calendar year for their services as directors. We intend that theThe DDCP constituteconstitutes a deferred compensation arrangement that complies with Section 409A of the IRC,Internal Revenue Code, as amended. Any duly elected and serving member of our board may become a participant in the DDCP. We make no matching contributions under the DDCP.The DDCP was amended and restated effective January 1, 2021 to increase flexibility as to when distributions may be made.


All contributions credited to a participant’s account will be invested in an irrevocable grantor trust ("Trust")established to provide for the Plan’sDDCP's benefits. The DDCP is administered by an administrative committee appointed by our board, currently the HR Committee. The Trusttrust will be maintained such that the DDCP at all times for income tax purposes of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 will be unfunded and constitutes a mere promise by the Bank to make DDCP benefit payments in the future. Any rights created under the DDCP are unsecured contractual rights against the Bank. The Bank establishes an investment account for each participant under the Trust,trust, which at all times remains an asset of the Bank, subject to claims of the Bank’s general creditors. The DDCP permits participants to allocate their investment account among investment options established by the HR Committee or the board. No above-market or preferential earnings are paid on any earningsbalances under the DDCP. In general, a participant may elect to have his or her deferred compensation paid in a single lump sum payment, in annual installment payments over a period of two to five years, or in a combination of both such methods.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE


We use acronyms and terms throughout this Item that are defined herein or in the Glossary ofDefined Terms.


Related Parties


We are a cooperative institution and owning shares of our Class B stock is generally a prerequisite to transacting business with us. As such, we are wholly-owned by financial institutions that are also our customers (with the exception of shares held by former members, or their legal successors, in the process of redemption). In addition, a majority of our directors may serve as officers and/or directors of our members, and we conduct our advances and AMA business almost exclusively with our members. Therefore, in the normal course of business, we extend credit to and purchase mortgage loans from members with officers or directors who may serve as our directors. However, such transactions are on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with persons not related to our Bankus (i.e., other members), and that do not involve more than the normal risk of collectability or present other unfavorable terms.


Also, in the normal course of business, some of our member directors and independent directors are officers of entities that may directly or indirectly participate in our AHP. All AHP transactions, however, including those involving (i) a member (or its affiliate) that owns more than 5% of the Bank's capital stock, (ii) a member with an officer or director who is aserves as our director, of our Bank, or (iii) an entity with an officer, director or general partner who serves as aour director of our Bank (and that has a direct or indirect interest in the AHP transaction), are subject to the same eligibility and other program criteria and requirements and the same Finance Agency regulations governing AHP operations.

We do not extend credit to or conduct other business transactions with our directors, executive officers or any of our other officers or employees. Executive officers may obtain loans under certain employee benefit plans but only on the same terms and conditions as are applicable to all employees who participate in such plans.

Related Transactions


We have a Code of Conduct that requiresand Conflict of Interest Policy for Directors, a Code of Conduct and Conflict of Interest Policy for Affordable Housing Advisory Council ("AHAC") Members, a Code of Conduct and Conflict of Interest Policy for Employees and Contractors, and a Code of Ethics for Senior Financial Officers. These codes require all directors, AHAC members, officers and employees to disclose any related party interests through ownership or family relationship. These disclosures are reviewed by our ethics officers and, where appropriate, our board of directors to determine the potential for a conflict of interest. The review is performed by our ethics officers for disclosures relating to officers and employees, and by our General Counsel and board of directors (or, when appropriate, the disinterested members of our board of directors) for directors and AHAC members. In the event of a conflict, appropriate action is taken, which may include: recusal of a director from the discussion and vote on a transaction in which the director has a related interest; removal of an employee from a project with a related party vendor; disqualification of related vendors from transacting business with us; or requiring directors, officers or employees to divest their ownership interest in a related party.party; or removal of an AHAC member. The Corporate SecretaryGeneral Counsel and ethics officers maintain records of all related party disclosures, and there have been no transactions involving our directors, officers or employees that would be required to be disclosed herein.


Director Independence


General. As of the filing date of this Form 10-K, we have 17 directors: pursuantthe board has 15 directorships, consisting of eight member and seven independent directorships. However, one member seat and one independent seat are vacant, resulting in 13 filled seats. Pursuant to the Bank Act, ninemember directors and independent directors were elected or re-elected as member directors by our member institutions and eight were elected or re-elected as "independent directors" by our member institutions. None of our directors are "inside" directors, that is, none of our directors are employees or officers of our Bank. Further, our directors are prohibited from personally owning stock in our Bank. Each of the nineour member directors, however, is a senior officer or director of an institution that is our member and is encouraged tomay engage in transactions with us on a regular basis.


Our board of directors is required to evaluate and report on the independence of our directors under two distinct director independence standards. First, Finance Agency regulations establish independence criteria for directors who serve as members of our Audit Committee. Second, SEC rules require that our board of directors appliesapply the independence criteria of a national securities exchange or automated quotation system in assessing the independence of our directors.


Finance Agency Regulations Regarding Independence. The Finance Agency director independence standards prohibit an individual from serving as a member of our Audit Committee if he or she has one or more disqualifying relationships with ourthe Bank or our management that would interfere with the exercise of his or her independent judgment. Relationships considered to be disqualifying by our board of directors are: employment with us at any time during the last five years; acceptance of compensation from us other than for service as a director; serving as a consultant, advisor, promoter, underwriter or legal counsel for our Bank at any time within the last five years; and being an immediate family member of an individual who is or who has been an Executive Officer within the past five years. Our board of directors assesses the independence of each director under the Finance Agency's independence standards, regardless of whether he or she serves on the Audit Committee. As of the date of this Form 10-K, each of our directors is "independent" under these criteria relating to disqualifying relationships.


SEC Rules Regarding Independence. SEC rules require our board of directors to adopt a standard of independence with which to evaluate our directors. Pursuant thereto, our board adopted the independence standards of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") to determine which of our directors are "independent," which members of our Audit Committee are not "independent," and whether our Audit Committee's financial expert is "independent.".


As noted above, some of our directors who are "independent" (as defined in and for purposes of the Bank Act) are employed by companies that may from time to time have (or seek to have) limited business relationships with our Bankus due to those companies' participation in projects funded in part through our AHP. None of those companies, however, has, or within the past three most recently completed fiscal years had, a relationship with us that resulted in payments to, or receipts from, the Bank in excess of the limits set forth in the NYSE independence standards. Moreover, any business relationship between those directors' respective companies and the Bank is established and conducted on the same terms and conditions provided to similarly-situated third parties. After applying the NYSE independence standards, our board determined that, as of the date of this Form 10-K, our eightthe six directors (Mses.currently seated (Directors Bosway, Decker, andHines, Long, Narayanan, and Messrs. Bradford, Hannigan, Liedholm, Logue, Long and Swank)Sears) who are "independent" directors, as defined in and for purposes of the Bank Act, are also independent under the NYSE standards.

Based upon the fact that each member director is a senior officer or director of an institution that is a member of ourthe Bank (and thus the member is an equity holder in ourthe Bank), that each such institution may routinely engagesengage in transactions with us (which may include advances, MPP and AHP transactions), and that such transactions may occur frequently and are encouraged in the ordinary course of our business and our member institutions' respective businesses, our board of directors concluded for the present time that none of the member directors meet the independence criteria under the NYSE independence standards. It is possible that, under a strict reading of the NYSE objective criteria for independence (particularly the criterion regarding the amount of business conducted with our Bankus by the director's institution), a member director could meet the independence standard on a particular day. However, because the amount of business conducted by a member director's institution may change frequently, and because we generally desire to increase the amount of business we conduct with each member institution, we believe it is inappropriate to draw distinctions among the member directors based upon the amount of business conducted with our Bankus by any director's institution at a specific time.


OurThe board of directors has a standing Audit Committee comprised of seven directors (including the ex-officio member), five of whom are member directors and two of whom are "independent" directors (according to Bank Act director classifications established by HERA).a standing Human Resources Committee. For the reasons noted above, ourthe board of directors determined that none of the current member directors on our Audit Committeethese committees (including Directors Clarke, Fisher, Reagin, Myers, Warner, and Gregerson (ex-officio)) are "independent" under the NYSE standards for audit committee members. However, ourstandards. The board of directors determined that all of the independent director who serves as Chairdirectors on these committees (including Directors Decker, Hines, Long and Narayanan) are independent under NYSE standards.

Audit Committee members are subject to further tests of independence under the NYSE standards. To be considered independent under those standards, a member of the Audit Committee and is the Audit Committee Financial Expert under SEC rules, due primarily tomay not, other than in his previous experienceor her capacity as an audit partner at a major public accounting firm, is "independent" under the NYSE independence standards for Audit Committee members.

SEC Rule Regarding Audit Committee Independence. The Exchange Act, as amended by HERA, requires the FHLBanks to comply with the substantive Audit Committee director independence rules applicable to issuers of securities pursuant to the rulesmember of the Exchange Act. Those rules provide that, to be considered an independent member of an Audit Committee, the director may notboard or any board committee (i) accept any consulting, advisory, or other compensation from us or (ii) be an affiliated person of the Exchange Act registrant. The term "affiliated person" means a person that directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls, or is controlled by, or is under common control with, the registrant. The rule provides a "safe harbor," whereby a person will not be deemed an affiliated person if the person is not the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of more than 10% of any class of voting securitiesBank. All members of the registrant. All of our Audit Committee member directors' institutions presently meet this safe harbor.were determined to be independent under these criteria.
