FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK OF TOPEKA

Notes to Financial Statements - Unaudited

~~September~~June 30, ~~2017~~2019

NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Basis of Presentation: The accompanying interim financial statements of the ~~Federal Home Loan Bank of Topeka (FHLBank or~~ FHLBank ~~Topeka)~~ are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instruction provided by Article 10, Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. The financial statements contain all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the FHLBank’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. All such adjustments were of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year or any other interim period.

The FHLBank’s significant accounting policies and certain other disclosures are set forth in the notes to the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, ~~2016.~~2018. The interim financial statements presented herein should be read in conjunction with the FHLBank’s audited financial statements and notes thereto, which are included in the FHLBank’s annual report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on March ~~9, 2017~~18, 2019 (annual report on Form 10-K). The notes to the interim financial statements highlight significant changes to the notes included in the annual report on Form 10-K.

Reclassifications: Presentation of cash flow amounts in the prior period have been reclassified to reflect short-term trading securities purchases and proceeds on a gross, rather than net, basis. Certain other immaterial amounts in the financial statements have been reclassified to conform to current period presentations.

Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements under GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions as of the date of the financial statements in determining the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and estimated fair values and in determining the disclosure of any contingent assets or liabilities. Estimates and assumptions by management also affect the reported amounts of income and expense during the reporting period. The most significant of these estimates include the fair value of trading and available-for-sale securities, the fair value of derivatives and the allowance for credit losses. Many of the estimates and assumptions, including those used in financial models, are based on financial market conditions as of the date of the financial statements. Because of the volatility of the financial markets, as well as other factors that affect management estimates, actual results may vary from these estimates.

~~Derivatives:~~Derivatives and Hedging Activities: ~~All~~Beginning January 1, 2019, the FHLBank adopted new hedge accounting guidance, which, among other things, impacts the presentation of gains (losses) on derivatives and hedging activities for qualifying hedges. 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 ~~recognized~~attributable to the hedged risk, are recorded in net interest income in the same line as the earnings effect of the hedged item. Net gains (losses) on derivatives and hedging activities for qualifying hedges recorded in net interest income include unrealized and realized gains (losses), which include net interest settlements.

Prior to January 1, 2019, fair value hedge ineffectiveness (which represented the ~~Statements~~amount by which the change in the fair value of ~~Condition at their~~the derivative differed from the change in the fair ~~values (including~~value of the hedged item) was recorded in non-interest income as net ~~accrued interest receivable~~gains (losses) on derivatives and hedging activities.

Investment Securities: Securities that are not classified as trading or payable on the derivatives) and are reported as either derivative assets or derivative liabilities, net of cash collateral, including initial and variation margin, and accrued interest received or pledged by clearing agents and/or counterparties. The fair values of derivatives are netted by clearing agent or counterparty when the netting requirements have been met. If these netted amounts are positive, theyheld-to-maturity are classified as ~~an asset~~available-for-sale and ~~if negative, they~~ are ~~classified~~carried at fair value. The change in fair value of available-for-sale securities is recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) (OCI) as net unrealized gains (losses) on available-for-sale securities. Beginning January 1, 2019, the FHLBank adopted new hedge accounting guidance, which, among other things, impacts the presentation of gains (losses) on derivatives and hedging activities for qualifying hedges, including fair value hedges of available-for-sale securities. For available-for-sale securities that have been hedged and qualify as a ~~liability. Cash flows associated~~fair value hedge, the FHLBank records the portion of the change in the fair value of the investment related to the risk being hedged in available-for-sale interest income together with the related change in the fair value of the derivative, and records the remainder of the change in the fair value of the investment in OCI as net unrealized gains (losses) on available-for-sale securities.

Prior to January 1, 2019, for available-for-sale securities that were hedged and qualified as a fair value hedge, the FHLBank recorded the portion of the change in the fair value of the investment related to the risk being hedged in non-interest income as net gains (losses) on derivatives ~~are reflected~~and hedging activities together with the related change in the fair value of the derivative, and recorded the remainder of the change in the fair value of the investment in OCI as ~~cash flows from operating~~net unrealized gains (losses) on available-for-sale securities.

Prepayment Fees on Advances: The FHLBank charges a borrower a prepayment fee when the borrower prepays certain advances before the original maturity. The FHLBank records prepayment fees net of basis adjustments related to hedging activities included in the carrying value of the advance as advance interest income in the Statements of ~~Cash Flows unless the derivative meets the criteria to be a financing derivative.~~Income.

~~The FHLBank utilizes two Derivative Clearing Organizations (Clearinghouses) for all cleared derivative transactions, LCH.Clearnet LLC~~If a new advance does not qualify as a modification of an existing advance, the existing advance is treated as an advance termination and ~~CME Clearing. Effective~~any prepayment fee, net of hedging adjustments, is recorded to advance interest income in the Statements of Income.

If a new advance qualifies as a modification of an existing advance, any prepayment fee, net of hedging adjustments, is deferred, recorded in the basis of the modified advance, and amortized using a level-yield methodology over the life of the modified advance to advance interest income. If the modified advance is hedged and meets hedge accounting requirements, the modified advance is marked to benchmark or full fair value, depending on the risk being hedged, and subsequent fair value changes that are attributable to the hedged risk are recorded in advance interest income effective January ~~3, 2017, CME Clearing made certain amendments~~1, 2019.

NOTE 2 – RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS AND INTERPRETATIONS AND CHANGES IN AND ADOPTIONS OF ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

Inclusion of the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) Overnight Index Swap (OIS) Rate as a Benchmark Interest Rate for Hedge Accounting Purposes (Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2018-16). In October 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued an amendment that permits use of the OIS rate based on SOFR as a U.S. benchmark interest rate for hedge accounting purposes under Topic 815 in addition to the U.S. Treasury rate, the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) swap rate, the OIS rate based on the Fed Funds Effective Rate, and the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association Municipal Swap Rate. The amendments apply to all entities that elect to apply hedge accounting of the benchmark interest rate. The amendments were adopted on a prospective basis for qualifying new or redesignated hedging relationships entered into on or after the date of adoption. The amendment was effective concurrently with ASU 2017-12 (see below) for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning January 1, 2019. The adoption of this guidance did not materially affect the FHLBank's application of hedge accounting or utilization of hedging strategies.

Customer's Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement that is a Service Contract (ASU 2018-15). In August 2018, the FASB issued an amendment to align the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal-use software license). Accordingly, the amendments in this ASU require an entity in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract to follow existing guidance relating to internal-use software to determine which implementation costs to capitalize as an asset related to the service contract and which costs to expense. Costs to develop or obtain internal-use software that cannot be capitalized also cannot be capitalized for a hosting arrangement that is a service contract. Therefore, an entity in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract determines to which project stage (that is, preliminary project stage, application development stage, or post-implementation stage) an implementation activity relates. Costs for implementation activities in the application development stage are capitalized depending on the nature of the costs, while costs incurred during the preliminary project and post-implementation stages are expensed as the activities are performed. The amendments in this ASU also require the entity to expense the capitalized implementation costs of a hosting arrangement that is a service contract over the term of the hosting arrangement. The amendments in this ASU will be effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 31, 2019, which is January 1, 2020 for the FHLBank. Early adoption of the amendments in this ASU is permitted, including adoption in any interim period, for all entities. The FHLBank does not plan on early adoption. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material effect on the FHLBank's financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans (ASU 2018-14). In August 2018,the FASB issued an amendment modifying the disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other postretirement plans to improve disclosure effectiveness. The amendments in the ASU remove disclosures that are no longer considered cost beneficial, clarify the specific requirements of disclosures, and add disclosure requirements identified as relevant. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2020, which is December 31, 2020 for the FHLBank. Early adoption is permitted. The FHLBank does not plan on early adoption. The adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on the disclosures related to defined benefit plans and will not impact the FHLBank’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement (ASU 2018-13). In August 2018,the FASB issued an amendment that modifies the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. This ASU removes the requirement to disclose: (1) the amount of and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy; (2) the policy for timing of transfers between levels; and (3) the valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements. The ASU requires disclosure of changes in unrealized gains and losses for the period included in OCI for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements held at the end of the reporting period and the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. The amendments in this ASU will be effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 31, 2019, which is January 1, 2020 for the FHLBank. Early adoption is permitted. The FHLBank does not plan on early adoption. The adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on the disclosures related to fair value measurements and will not impact the FHLBank’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging ~~Activities.~~ Activities, as amended (ASU 2017-12). In August 2017, ~~Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)~~the FASB issued an amendment to simplify the application of hedge accounting guidance in current GAAP and 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 other comprehensive income.~~ In addition, the amendments include certain targeted improvements to the assessment of hedge effectiveness and permit, among other things, the following:

Measurement of the change in fair value of the hedged item on the basis of the benchmark rate component of the contractual coupon cash flows determined at hedge inception;

Measurement of the hedged item in a partial-term fair value hedge of interest rate risk by assuming the hedged item has a term that reflects only the designated cash flows being hedged;

Consideration only of how changes in the benchmark interest rate affect a decision to settle a prepayable instrument before its scheduled maturity in calculating the change in the fair value of the hedged item attributable to interest rate risk; ~~and~~

For a cash flow hedge of interest rate risk of a variable rate financial instrument, an entity ~~could~~can designate the variability in cash flows attributable to the contractually specified interest rate as the hedged ~~risk.~~risk; and

If an entity that applies the shortcut method determines that use of that method was not or is no longer appropriate, the entity may apply a long-haul method for assessing hedge effectiveness as long as the hedge is highly effective and the entity documents at inception which long-haul methodology it will use.

The amendment ~~will be~~became effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods beginning ~~after December 15, 2018, which is~~on January 1, 2019 for the FHLBank. The guidance did not affect the FHLBank's application of hedge accounting for existing hedge strategies. For all short-cut hedge accounting trades, the FHLBank ~~and early adoption is permitted in any interim period or fiscal year prior~~updated existing documentation to ~~the effective date. The FHLBank does not plan on early adoption. This guidance should~~designate a long-haul method to be ~~applied through a cumulative-effect adjustment directly to retained earnings as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The FHLBank is~~utilized in the ~~process~~event a hedge ceases to qualify for the short-cut method. The guidance may also provide opportunities to enhance risk management through new hedge strategies, including partial term hedges. The adoption of ~~evaluating~~ this guidance ~~and its~~did not have a material effect on the FHLBank's financial condition, results of operations or cash flows beyond a prospective change in income statement presentation for fair value hedge relationships and ~~cash flows.~~new required disclosures.

Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt ~~Securities.~~Securities (ASU 2017-08). In March 2017, FASB issued an amendment to shorten the amortization period of any premium on callable debt securities to the first call date instead of over the contractual life of the instrument. The amendment does not require an accounting change for securities held at a discount; the discount continues to be amortized to maturity. The guidance is intended to reduce diversity in practice in the amortization of premiums and the consideration of how the potential of a security being called is factored into current impairment assessments. The amendment also intends to more closely align the amortization of premiums and discounts to the expectations incorporated into the market pricing of the instrument. The amendment ~~will be~~became effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods beginning ~~after December 15, 2018, which is~~on January 1, 2019 for the FHLBank, and early adoption is permitted. The FHLBank does not plan on early adoption. This guidance should be applied using a modified retrospective method through a cumulative-effect adjustment directly to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption.FHLBank. The adoption of this guidance isdid not ~~expected to~~ have ~~a material effect~~an impact on the FHLBank's financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

~~Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost.~~ In March 2017, FASB issued an amendment to improve the presentation of net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit cost. The amendment requires that the employer disaggregate the service cost component and the other components of net benefit cost and allow only the service cost component of net benefit cost to be eligible for capitalization. The amendment is intended to provide transparency, consistency, and usefulness to users of financial statements. The amendment will be effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017, which is January 1, 2018 for the FHLBank. This guidance should be applied retrospectively for the presentation of the service cost component and the other components of net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit cost in the income statement and prospectively, on and after the effective date, for the capitalization of the service cost component of net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit in assets. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material effect on the FHLBank's financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

~~Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments.~~ In August 2016, FASB issued amendments to clarify guidance on the classification of certain cash receipts and payments in the statement of cash flows. This guidance is intended to reduce existing diversity in practice in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. This guidance is effective for the FHLBank for interim and annual periods beginning on January 1, 2018. This guidance should be applied using a retrospective transition method to each period presented. This guidance is not expected to have an impact on the FHLBank's statement of cash flows.

Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial ~~Instruments.~~Instruments, as amended (ASU 2016-13). In June 2016, FASB issued amended guidance for the accounting of credit losses on financial instruments. The amendments require entities to measure expected credit losses based on relevant information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. An entity must use judgment in determining the relevant information and estimation methods that are appropriate in its circumstances. Additionally, under the new guidance, a financial asset, or a group of financial assets, measured at amortized cost basis is required to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected.

The guidance also requires:

The statement of income to reflect the measurement of credit losses for newly recognized financial assets, as well as the expected increases or decreases of expected credit losses that have taken place during the period;

The entities to determine the allowance for credit losses for purchased financial assets with a more-than-insignificant amount of credit deterioration since origination that are measured at amortized cost basis in a similar manner to other financial assets measured at amortized cost basis. The initial allowance for credit losses is required to be added to the purchase price;

Credit losses relating to available-for-sale debt securities to be recorded 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; and

Public entities to 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).

The guidance is effective for the FHLBank for interim and annual periods beginning on January 1, 2020. Early application is permitted as of the interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The FHLBank does not plan on early adoption. The guidance should be applied using a modified-retrospective approach, through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. In addition, entities are required to use a prospective transition approach for debt securities for which an other-than-temporary impairment (OTTI) charge had been recognized before the effective ~~date.~~date; however, the FHLBank currently does not have any OTTI debt securities. The ~~FHLBank has formed an~~FHLBank's internal working group ~~that has begun~~continues its implementation efforts byof identifying key interpretive issues and potential impacts to processes and systems that ~~will eventually~~ determine the magnitude of the impact on the FHLBank's financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

~~Contingent Put~~ The FHLBank does not expect this guidance to impact certain financial instruments, including advances, Agency and ~~Call Options in Debt Instruments.~~ ~~In March 2016, FASB issued amendments~~government-sponsored enterprise investments, securities purchased under agreements to ~~resolve current diversity in practice by clarifying the steps required when assessing whether the economic characteristics~~resell, and ~~risks of call (put) options are clearly and closely related~~other overnight investments due to the ~~economic characteristics and risks of their debt hosts, which is one~~specific terms, issuer guarantees, and/or collateralized nature of the ~~criteria for bifurcating an embedded derivative. The amendments apply to all entities that are issuers of or investors in debt instruments (or hybrid financial~~ instruments that ~~are determined~~result in high credit quality holdings with no expected credit losses. Adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a ~~debt host) with embedded call (put) options. The amendments became effective~~material impact on the FHLBank's municipal securities, short-term investments and mortgage loans held for ~~annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning on January 1, 2017. The~~portfolio. Consequently, adoption of this guidance ~~had no effect~~is not expected to have a material impact on the ~~FHLBank's~~FHLBank’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

~~Leases.~~Leases (ASU 2016-02). In February 2016, FASB issued amendments to lease accounting guidance. Under the new guidance, lessees ~~will be~~are required to recognize a lease liability and a right-of-use asset for all leases in the statement of financial condition, which effectively removes a source of off-balance sheet financing for operating leases. A distinction remains between finance leases and operating leases, but the assets and liabilities arising from operating leases are now also required to be recognized in the statement of financial condition. Lessor accounting is largely unchanged. The amendments ~~are~~became effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning ~~after December 15, 2018, which is~~on January 1, 2019 for the FHLBank. The ~~FHLBank does~~adoption of this guidance did not ~~plan on early adoption. The FHLBank has a limited number of lease agreements and has concluded that the impact of the guidance is not expected to~~ have a material effect on the FHLBank's financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

~~Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.~~ In January 2016, FASB issued amendments to improve the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of financial instruments through changes to existing GAAP. The provisions impacting the FHLBank include the elimination of the requirement to disclose the method and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments carried at amortized cost, the requirement to use the notion of exit price when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes, and the separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of asset (i.e., securities or loans and receivables) on the statement of financial condition or in the notes to financial statements. The amendments are effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017, which is January 1, 2018 for the FHLBank. The FHLBank has concluded that this guidance will impact disclosures related to the fair value of financial instruments. However, this guidance is not expected to have an impact on the FHLBank's financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

~~Revenue Recognition.~~ In May 2014, FASB issued guidance to introduce a new revenue recognition model in which an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This guidance also requires disclosures sufficient to enable users to understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers, including qualitative and quantitative disclosures about contracts with customers, significant judgments and changes in judgments, and assets recognized from the costs to obtain or fulfill a contract. In July 2015, FASB voted to defer the effective date of the new standard by one year. Inaddition, in March 2016, FASB issued amendments to clarify the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations, in particular, relating to how an entity should determine whether the entity is a principal or an agent for each specified good or service promised to the customer and the nature of each specified good or service. The amendments do not change the core principle in the new revenue standard. The standard is effective for fiscal years, including interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017, which is January 1, 2018 for the FHLBank. Because the guidance does not apply to revenue associated with financial instruments, including loans and securities that are accounted for under other GAAP, the adoption of this guidance has limited potential for impact to the FHLBank. The FHLBank has completed an analysis of its sources of revenue that fall within the scope of the guidance and does not expect the new guidance to have a material impact on its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

¹	For the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, securities previously impaired represent all securities that were impaired prior to July 1, 2017 and 2016, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, securities previously impaired represent all securities that were impaired prior to January 1, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

The FHLBank amortizes the credit component based on estimated cash flows prospectively up to the amount of expected principal to be recovered. The discounted cash flows will move from the discounted loss value to the ultimate principal to be written off at the projected date of loss. If the expected cash flows improve, the amount of expected loss decreases which causes a corresponding decrease in the calculated amortization. Based on the level of improvement in the cash flows, the amortization could become a positive adjustment to income.

As of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017,~~2019, the fair value of a portion of the FHLBank's available-for-sale and held-to-maturity ~~MBS~~securities were below the amortized cost of the securities due to interest rate volatility and/or illiquidity. However, the decline in fair value of these securities is considered temporary as the FHLBank expects to recover the entire amortized cost basis on the remaining securities in unrecognized loss positions and neither intends to sell these securities nor is it more likely than not that the FHLBank will be required to sell these securities before its anticipated recovery of the remaining amortized cost basis. For state and local housing agency obligations, the FHLBank determined that all of the gross unrealized losses on these bonds were temporary because the strength of the underlying collateral and credit enhancements was sufficient to protect the FHLBank from losses based on current expectations.

The FHLBank’s advances outstanding include advances that contain call options that may be exercised with or without prepayment fees at the borrower’s discretion on specific dates (call dates) before the stated advance maturities (callable advances). In exchange for receiving the right to call the advance on a predetermined call schedule, the borrower may pay a higher fixed rate for the advance relative to an equivalent maturity, non-callable, fixed rate advance. The borrower normally exercises its call options on these advances when interest rates decline (fixed rate advances) or spreads change (adjustable rate advances). The FHLBank’s advances as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 include callable advances totaling $7,310,460,000 and $6,336,280,000, respectively. Of these callable advances, there were $7,263,662,000 and $6,260,837,000 of variable rate advances as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

Convertible advances allow the FHLBank to convert an advance from one interest payment term structure to another. When issuing convertible advances, the FHLBank purchases put options from a member that allow the FHLBank to convert the fixed rate advance to a variable rate advance at the current market rate or another structure after an agreed-upon lockout period. A convertible advance carries a lower interest rate than a comparable-maturity fixed rate advance without the conversion feature. ~~As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the FHLBank had convertible advances outstanding totaling $884,950,000 and $1,147,392,000, respectively.~~

NOTE 5 – MORTGAGE LOANS

The MPF Program involves the FHLBank investing in mortgage loans, which have been funded by the FHLBank through or purchased from participating financial institutions (PFIs). These mortgage loans are ~~government-insured~~government-guaranteed or ~~guaranteed~~-insured loans (by the Federal Housing Administration, ~~(FHA),~~ the Department of Veterans Affairs, ~~(VA),~~ the Rural Housing Service of the Department of Agriculture ~~(RHS)~~ and/or the Department of Housing and Urban ~~Development (HUD))~~Development) and conventional residential loans credit-enhanced by PFIs. Depending upon a member’s product selection, the servicing rights can be retained or sold by the participating member. The FHLBank does not buy or own any mortgage servicing rights.

See Note 6 for information related to the FHLBank’s credit risk on mortgage loans and allowance for credit losses.

NOTE 6 – ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES

The FHLBank has established an allowance methodology for each of its portfolio segments: credit products (advances, letters of credit and other extensions of credit to borrowers); government mortgage loans held for portfolio; conventional mortgage loans held for portfolio; the direct financing lease receivable; term Federal funds sold; and term securities purchased under agreements to resell. Based on management's analyses of each portfolio segment, the FHLBank has only established an allowance for credit losses on its conventional mortgage loans held for portfolio.

~~Roll-forward of~~ Allowance for Credit Losses: Table 6.1 presents a roll-forward of the allowance for credit losses for the three and ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017~~2019 and 2018 (in thousands):

Table 6.2 presents the allowance for credit losses and the recorded investment as well as the method used to evaluate impairment relating to all portfolio segments regardless of whether or not an estimated credit loss has been recorded as of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017~~2019 (in thousands). The recorded investment in a financing receivable is the UPB, adjusted for accrued interest, net deferred loan fees or costs, unamortized premiums or discounts, fair value hedging adjustments and direct write-downs. The recorded investment is not net of any valuation allowance.

¹	~~Amount represents price alignment amount on derivatives for which variation margin is characterized as a daily settled contract.~~

The FHLBank carries derivative instruments at fair value on its Statements of Condition. Any change in the fair value of derivatives designated under a fair value hedging relationship is recorded each period in current period earnings. Fair value hedge accounting allows for the offsetting fair value of the hedged risk in the hedged item to also be recorded in current period earnings.

Beginning on January 1, 2019, changes in fair value of the derivative hedging instrument and the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk for designated fair value hedges are recorded in net interest income in the same line as the earnings effect of the hedged item. Prior to January 1, 2019, for fair value hedges, any hedge ineffectiveness (which represented the amount by which the change in the fair value of the derivative differed from the change in the fair value of the hedge item) was recorded in non-interest income as net gains (losses) on derivatives and hedging activities.

Interest settlements on derivatives designated as fair value hedges were recorded in net interest income or expense prior to, and continue to be recorded in net interest income or expense after January 1, 2019. However, beginning on January 1, 2019, disclosed gains (losses) on fair value derivatives include unrealized changes in fair value as well as net interest settlements. For the three months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017~~2019 and ~~2016,~~2018, the FHLBank recorded net ~~gain (loss)~~gains (losses) on derivatives and the related hedged items in fair value hedging relationships and the impact of those derivatives on the FHLBank’s net interest income and net gains (losses) on derivatives and hedging activities, if applicable, as presented in Table ~~7.3~~7.2 (in thousands):

Based on credit analyses and collateral requirements, FHLBank management does not anticipate any credit losses on its derivative agreements. The maximum credit risk applicable to a single counterparty was ~~$16,863,000~~$39,000 and ~~$21,112,000~~$25,799,000 as of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017~~2019 and December 31, ~~2016,~~2018, respectively. The counterparty was ~~the same~~different for ~~both periods.~~each period.

For uncleared derivative transactions, the FHLBank ~~recently~~has entered into ~~updated~~ bilateral security agreements with its ~~non-member~~ counterparties with bilateral-collateral-exchange provisions that require all credit exposures be collateralized, subject to minimum transfer amounts. Previously, certain of the FHLBank’s uncleared derivative instruments contained provisions that required the FHLBank to post additional collateral with its counterparties if there was deterioration in the FHLBank’s credit rating. If the FHLBank’s credit rating had been lowered by a Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organization (NRSRO), the FHLBank may have been required to deliver additional collateral on uncleared derivative instruments in net liability positions. The aggregate fair value of these uncleared derivatives as of December 31, 2016 was $4,779,000, for which the FHLBank had posted no collateral. If the FHLBank’s credit rating had been lowered one level (e.g., from double-A to single-A), the FHLBank still would not have been required to deliver additional collateral to its uncleared derivative counterparties as of December 31, 2016.

The FHLBank utilizes two ~~Clearinghouses~~Derivative Clearing Organizations (Clearinghouse) for all cleared derivative transactions, ~~LCH.Clearnet LLC~~LCH Limited and CME Clearing. Effective January 3, 2017, CME Clearing made certain amendments to its rulebook changing the legal characterization of variation margin payments to represent daily settlement payments rather than collateral. Variation margin related to LCH.Clearnet LLC contracts continues to be characterized as cash collateral. At both Clearinghouses, initial margin is considered cash collateral. For cleared derivatives, the Clearinghouse determines initial margin requirements and generally, credit ratings are not factored into the initial margin. However, clearing agents may require additional initial margin to be posted based on credit considerations, including but not limited to credit rating downgrades. The FHLBank was not required to post additional initial margin by its clearing agents as of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017~~2019 and December 31, ~~2016.~~2018.

The FHLBank’s net exposure on derivative agreements is presented in Note 10.

The FHLBank’s participation in consolidated obligation bonds outstanding as of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017~~2019 and December 31, ~~2016~~2018 includes callable bonds totaling ~~$6,057,000,000~~$8,861,500,000 and ~~$6,097,000,000,~~$8,559,000,000, respectively. The FHLBank uses the unswapped callable bonds for financing its callable fixed rate advances (Note 4), MBS (Note 3) and mortgage loans (Note 5). Contemporaneous with a portion of its fixed rate callable bond issuances, the FHLBank also enters into interest rate swap agreements (in which the FHLBank generally pays a variable rate and receives a fixed rate) with call features that mirror the options in the callable bonds (a sold callable swap). The combined sold callable swap and callable debt transaction allows the FHLBank to obtain attractively priced variable rate financing. Table 9.2 summarizes the FHLBank’s participation in consolidated obligation bonds outstanding by year of maturity, or by the next call date for callable bonds as of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017~~2019 and December 31, ~~2016~~2018 (in thousands):

NOTE 10 – ASSETS AND LIABILITIES SUBJECT TO OFFSETTING

The FHLBank presents certain financial instruments, including derivatives, repurchase agreements and securities purchased under agreements to resell, on a net basis by clearing agent by Clearinghouse, or by counterparty, when it has met the netting requirements. For these financial instruments, the FHLBank has elected to offset its asset and liability positions, as well as cash collateral ~~including initial and certain variation margin,~~ received or pledged, and associated accrued interest.

The FHLBank has analyzed the enforceability of offsetting rights incorporated in its cleared derivative transactions and determined that the exercise of those offsetting rights by a non-defaulting party under these transactions should be upheld under applicable law upon an event of default including a bankruptcy, insolvency, or similar proceeding involving the Clearinghouse or clearing agent, or both. Based on this analysis, the FHLBank presents a net derivative receivable or payable for all of its transactions through a particular clearing agent with a particular Clearinghouse.

Tables 10.1 and 10.2 present the fair value of financial assets, including the related collateral received from or pledged to clearing agents or counterparties, ~~and variation margin for daily settled contracts,~~ based on the terms of the FHLBank’s master netting arrangements or similar agreements as of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017~~2019 and December 31, ~~2016~~2018 (in thousands):

NOTE 11 – CAPITAL

Capital Requirements: The FHLBank is subject to three capital requirements under the provisions of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLB Act) and the Federal Housing Finance Agency's (FHFA) capital structure regulation. Regulatory capital does not include AOCI but does include mandatorily redeemable capital stock.

Risk-based capital. The FHLBank must maintain at all times permanent capital in an amount at least equal to the sum of its credit risk, market risk and operations risk capital requirements. The risk-based capital requirements are all calculated in accordance with the rules and regulations of the FHFA. Only permanent capital, defined as Class B Common Stock and retained earnings, can be used by the FHLBank to satisfy its risk-based capital requirement. The FHFA may require the FHLBank to maintain a greater amount of permanent capital than is required by the risk-based capital requirement as defined, but the FHFA has not placed any such requirement on the FHLBank to date.

Total regulatory capital. The GLB Act requires the FHLBank to maintain at all times at least a 4.0 percent total capital-to-asset ratio. Total regulatory capital is defined as the sum of permanent capital, Class A Common Stock, any general loss allowance, if consistent with GAAP and not established for specific assets, and other amounts from sources determined by the FHFA as available to absorb losses.

Leverage capital. The FHLBank is required to maintain at all times a leverage capital-to-assets ratio of at least 5.0 percent, with the leverage capital ratio defined as the sum of permanent capital weighted 1.5 times and non-permanent capital (currently only Class A Common Stock) weighted 1.0 times, divided by total assets.

Table 11.1 illustrates that the FHLBank was in compliance with its regulatory capital requirements as of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017~~2019 and December 31, ~~2016~~2018 (dollar amounts in thousands):

Mandatorily Redeemable Capital Stock: The FHLBank is a cooperative whose members ~~and former members~~ own ~~all~~most of the FHLBank’s capital stock. ~~Member shares~~Former members (including certain non-members that own FHLBank capital stock as a result of merger or acquisition, relocation, charter termination, or involuntary termination of an FHLBank member) own the remaining capital stock to support business transactions still carried on the FHLBank's Statements of Condition. Shares cannot be purchased or sold except between the FHLBank and its members at a price equal to the $100 per share par value. If a member cancels its written notice of redemption or notice of withdrawal, the FHLBank will reclassify mandatorily redeemable capital stock from a liability to equity. After the reclassification, dividends on the capital stock would no longer be classified as interest expense.

Table 11.2 presents a roll-forward of mandatorily redeemable capital stock for the three and ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017~~2019 and ~~2016~~2018 (in thousands):

Table 11.3 shows the amount of mandatorily redeemable capital stock by contractual year of redemption as of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017~~2019 and December 31, ~~2016~~2018 (in thousands). The year of redemption in Table 11.3 is the end of the redemption period in accordance with the FHLBank’s capital plan. The FHLBank is not required to redeem or repurchase membership stock until six months (for Class A Common Stock) or five years (for Class B Common Stock) after the FHLBank receives notice for ~~withdrawal.~~withdrawal from the member. Additionally, the FHLBank is not required to redeem or repurchase activity-based stock until any activity-based stock becomes excess stock as a result of an activity no longer remaining outstanding. However, the FHLBank intends to repurchase the excess activity-based stock of non-members to the extent that it can do so and still meet its regulatory capital requirements.

¹	Represents mandatorily redeemable capital stock that is past the end of the contractual redemption period because there is activity outstanding to which the mandatorily redeemable capital stock relates.

Excess Capital Stock: Excess capital stock is defined as the amount of stock held by a member (or former member) in excess of that institution’s minimum stock purchase requirement. FHFA rules limit the ability of the FHLBank to create excess member stock under certain circumstances. For example, the FHLBank may not pay dividends in the form of capital stock or issue new excess stock to members if the FHLBank’s excess stock exceeds one percent of its total assets or if the issuance of excess stock would cause the FHLBank’s excess stock to exceed one percent of its total assets. As of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017,~~2019, the FHLBank’s excess stock was less than one percent of total assets.

Capital Classification Determination: The FHFA implemented the prompt corrective action (PCA) provisions of the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008. The rule established four capital classifications (i.e., adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized, and critically undercapitalized) for FHLBanks and implemented the PCA provisions that apply to FHLBanks that are not deemed to be adequately capitalized. The FHFA determines each FHLBank’s capital classification on at least a quarterly basis. If an FHLBank is determined to be other than adequately capitalized, the FHLBank becomes subject to additional supervisory authority by the FHFA. Before implementing a reclassification, the Director of the FHFA is required to provide the FHLBank with written notice of the proposed action and an opportunity to submit a response. As of the most recent review by the FHFA for the ~~second~~first quarter of ~~2017,~~2019, the FHLBank ~~has been~~was classified as adequately capitalized.

NOTE 13 – FAIR VALUES

The fair value amounts recorded on the Statements of Condition and presented in the note disclosures have been determined by the FHLBank using available market and other pertinent information and reflect the FHLBank’s best judgment of appropriate valuation methods. GAAP defines fair value 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). Although the FHLBank uses its best judgment in estimating the fair value of its financial instruments, there are inherent limitations in any valuation technique. Therefore, the fair values may not be indicative of the amounts that would have been realized in market transactions as of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017~~2019 and December 31, ~~2016.~~

2018. Additionally, these values do not represent an estimate of the overall market value of the FHLBank as a going concern, which would take into account future business opportunities and the net profitability of assets and liabilities.

Subjectivity of Estimates: Estimates of the fair value of advances with options, mortgage instruments, derivatives with embedded options and consolidated obligation bonds with options are highly subjective and require judgments regarding significant matters such as the amount and timing of future cash flows, prepayment speed assumptions, expected interest rate volatility, methods to determine possible distributions of future interest rates used to value options, and the selection of 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 Hierarchy: The FHLBank records trading securities, available-for-sale securities, derivative assets and derivative liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis and on occasion, certain private-label MBS, impaired mortgage loans held for portfolio and non-financial assets on a non-recurring basis. The fair value hierarchy requires the FHLBank to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The inputs are evaluated and an overall level for the fair value measurement is determined. This overall level is an indication of the market observability of the fair value measurement for the asset or liability. The FHLBank must disclose the level within the fair value hierarchy in which the measurements are classified for all assets and liabilities.

The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three broad levels:

Level 1 Inputs – Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the FHLBank can access on the measurement date.

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 (contractual) term, a Level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. Level 2 inputs include the following: (1) quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; (2) quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; (3) 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 (4) 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.

The FHLBank reviews its fair value hierarchy classifications on a quarterly basis. Changes in the observability of the valuation inputs may result in a reclassification of certain assets or liabilities. There were no ~~reclassifications~~transfers of assets or liabilities ~~recorded~~between fair value levels during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018.

Tables 13.1 and 13.2present the carrying value, fair value and fair value hierarchy of financial assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. The FHLBank records trading securities, available-for-sale securities, derivative assets, and derivative liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis, ~~during~~and on occasion certain mortgage loans held for portfolio and certain other assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. The FHLBank measures all other financial assets and liabilities at amortized cost. Further details about the ~~three~~financial assets and ~~nine months ended September 30, 2017~~liabilities held at fair value on either a recurring or non-recurring basis are presented in Tables 13.3 and ~~2016.~~13.4.

The carrying value, fair value and fair value hierarchy of the FHLBank’s financial assets and liabilities as of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017~~2019 and December 31, ~~2016~~2018 are summarized in Tables 13.1 and 13.2 (in thousands). These values do not represent an estimate of the overall market value of the FHLBank as a going concern, which would take into account future business opportunities and the net profitability of assets and liabilities.:

~~Fair Value Methodologies and Techniques and Significant Inputs:~~

~~Changes in the FHLBank's fair value methodologies and techniques and significant inputs for the period ended September 30, 2017 include the following:~~

~~Industrial Revenue Bonds and Financing Lease Payable:~~ The fair values for the industrial revenue bonds and the financing lease payable are estimated using the present value of future payments discounted using the Consolidated Obligation curve (CO curve) published by the Office of Finance. The CO curve is an internal curve constructed by the Office of Finance using the U.S. Treasury curve as a base curve that is then adjusted by adding indicative spreads obtained from market observable sources. These market indications are generally derived from pricing indications from dealers, historical pricing relationships, recent GSE trades and secondary market activity. See Note 14 for additional information on the industrial revenue bonds and related financing lease.

Fair Value Measurements: Tables 13.3 and 13.4 present, for each hierarchy level, the FHLBank’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring or nonrecurring basis on the Statements of Condition as of or for the periods ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017~~2019 and December 31, ~~2016~~2018 (in thousands). The FHLBank measures certain held-to-maturity securities at fair value on a nonrecurring basis due to the recognition of a credit loss. For held-to-maturity securities that had credit impairment recorded during a period for which no total impairment was recorded (the full amount of additional credit impairment was a reclassification from non-credit impairment previously recorded in AOCI), these securities were recorded at their carrying values and not fair value. The FHLBank measures certain impaired mortgage loans held for portfolio at fair value on a nonrecurring basis when, upon individual evaluation for impairment, the estimated fair value less costs to sell is lower than the recorded investment. REO is measured at fair value when the asset’s fair value less costs to sell is lower than its carrying amount.

NOTE 14 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Joint and Several Liability: As provided in the Federal Home Loan Bank Act of 1932, as amended (Bank Act) or in FHFA regulations, consolidated obligations are backed only by the financial resources of the FHLBanks. FHLBank Topeka is jointly and severally liable with the other FHLBanks for the payment of principal and interest on all of the consolidated obligations issued by the FHLBanks. The par amounts for which FHLBank Topeka is jointly and severally liable were approximately ~~$982,350,905,000~~$991,703,272,000 and ~~$946,829,735,000~~$986,994,515,000 as of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017~~2019 and December 31, ~~2016,~~2018, respectively.

The joint and several obligations are mandated by FHFA regulations and are not the result of arms-length transactions among the FHLBanks. As described above, the FHLBanks have no control over the amount of the guaranty or the determination of how each FHLBank would perform under the joint and several liability. Because the FHLBanks are subject to the authority of the FHFA as it relates to decisions involving the allocation of the joint and several liability for all FHLBanks' consolidated obligations, FHLBank Topeka regularly monitors the financial condition of the other FHLBanks to determine whether it should expect a loss to arise from its joint and several obligations. If the FHLBank were to determine that a loss was probable and the amount of the loss could be reasonably estimated, the FHLBank would charge to income the amount of the expected loss. Based upon the creditworthiness of the other FHLBanks as of June 30, 2019, FHLBank Topeka has concluded that a loss accrual is not necessary at this time.

Off-balance Sheet Commitments: As of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017~~2019 and December 31, ~~2016,~~2018, off-balance sheet commitments are presented in Table 14.1 (in thousands):

Commitments to Extend Credit: The FHLBank issues standby letters of credit on behalf of its members to support certain obligations of the members to third-party beneficiaries. These standby letters of credit are subject to the same collateralization and borrowing limits that are applicable to advances and are fully collateralized with assets allowed by the FHLBank’s Member Products Policy (MPP). Standby letters of credit may be offered to assist members in facilitating residential housing finance, community lending, and asset-liability management, and to provide liquidity. In particular, members often use standby letters of credit as collateral for deposits from federal and state government agencies. Standby letters of credit are executed for members for a fee. ~~A standby letter of credit is a short-term financing arrangement between the FHLBank and its member or non-member housing associate.~~ If the FHLBank is required to make payment for a ~~beneficiary’s~~beneficiary's draw, ~~these amounts are~~the member either reimburses the FHLBank for the amount drawn or, subject to the FHLBank's discretion, the amount drawn may be converted into a collateralized advance to the member. ~~As of September 30, 2017, outstanding~~However, standby letters of credit ~~had terms to maturity upon issuance of the currently outstanding standby~~usually expire without being drawn upon. Standby letters of credit have original expiration periods of ~~4 days~~up to 10 years, ~~with a final expiration in 2020. As of December 31, 2016, outstanding standby letters of credit had terms to maturity upon issuance of the~~ currently ~~outstanding standby letters of credit of 7 days to 10 years with a final expiration in 2020.~~expiring no later than 2023. Unearned fees as well as the value of the guarantees related to standby letters of credit are recorded in other liabilities and amounted to ~~$1,106,000~~$1,241,000 and ~~$1,151,000~~$1,296,000 as of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017~~2019 and December 31, ~~2016,~~2018, respectively. ~~Standby letters of credit are fully collateralized with assets allowed by the FHLBank’s Member Products Policy (MPP).~~ Advance commitments legally bind and unconditionally obligate the FHLBank for additional advances up to 24 months in the future. Based upon management’s credit analysis of members and collateral requirements under the MPP, the FHLBank does not expect to incur any credit losses on the outstanding letters of credit or advance commitments.

Standby Bond-Purchase Agreements: The FHLBank has entered into standby bond purchase agreements with state housing authorities whereby the FHLBank, for a fee, agrees to purchase and hold the authorities’ bonds until the designated marketing agent can find a suitable investor or the housing authority repurchases the bond according to a schedule established by the standby agreement. Each standby agreement dictates the specific terms that would require the FHLBank to purchase the bond. The bond purchase commitments entered into by the FHLBank expire no later than ~~2020,~~2022, though some are renewable at the option of the FHLBank. As of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017~~2019 and December 31, ~~2016,~~2018, the total commitments for bond purchases ~~were~~included agreements with two in-district ~~and one out-of-district~~ state housing authorities. The FHLBank was not required to purchase any bonds under any agreements during the three and ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017~~2019 and ~~2016.~~2018.

Commitments to Purchase Mortgage Loans: These commitments that unconditionally obligate the FHLBank to purchase mortgage loans from participating FHLBank Topeka members in the MPF Program are generally for periods not to exceed 60 calendar days. Certain commitments are recorded as derivatives at their fair values on the Statements of Condition. The FHLBank recorded mortgage delivery commitment net derivative asset (liability) balances of ~~$(151,000)~~$768,000 and ~~$(158,000)~~$549,000 as of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017~~2019 and December 31, ~~2016,~~2018, respectively.

Commitments to Issue Consolidated Obligations: The FHLBank enters into commitments to issue consolidated obligation bonds and discount notes outstanding in the normal course of its business. ~~All~~Most settle within the shortest period possible and are considered regular way trades; ~~thus, the~~however, certain commitments are ~~appropriately not~~ recorded as ~~derivatives.~~

~~Other Commitments:~~ ~~On June 28, 2017, the FHLBank completed an industrial revenue bond financing transaction with Shawnee County, Kansas (County) that will provide property tax savings for 10 years~~derivatives at their fair values on the ~~FHLBank's new headquarters. In the transaction, the County acquired an interest in the land, improvements, building and equipment (collectively, the Project) by issuing up to $36,000,000~~Statements of industrial revenue bonds due December 31, 2027 (IRBs) and leased the Project to the FHLBank for an identical 127-month term under a financing lease. The IRBs are collateralized by the Project and the lease revenues for the related leasing transaction with the County. The IRBs were purchased by the FHLBank. The County assigned the lease to the bond trustee for the FHLBank's benefit as the sole holder of the IRBs. The FHLBank can prepay the IRBs at any time, but would forfeit its property tax benefit in the event the IRBs were to be prepaid. As a result, the land and building will remain a component of the property, plant and equipment in the FHLBank's statement of financial condition. The IRBs and the equivalent liability are included in the FHLBank's statement of financial condition in Other Assets and Other Liabilities, respectively. The FHLBank, as holder of the IRBs, is due interest at 2.0 percent per annum with interest payable annually in arrears on December 1, beginning December 1, 2017. This interest income is directly offset by the financing interest expense payments on the land and building, which are due at the same time and in the same amount as the interest income. The bond trustee for the transaction is BOKF, N.A., a related party disclosed in Note 15. As bond trustee, BOKF, N.A. received trustee fees of $11,000. As of September 30, 2017, $16,500,000 of the IRBs were issued and outstanding.Condition.

NOTE 15 – TRANSACTIONS WITH STOCKHOLDERS

The FHLBank is a cooperative whose members own most of the capital stock of the FHLBank and generally receive dividends on their investments. In addition, certain former members that still have outstanding transactions are also required to maintain their investments in FHLBank capital stock until the transactions mature or are paid off. Nearly all outstanding advances are with current members, and the majority of outstanding mortgage loans held for portfolio were purchased from current or former members. The FHLBank also maintains demand deposit accounts for members primarily to facilitate settlement activities that are directly related to advances and mortgage loan purchases.

Transactions with members are entered into in the ordinary course of business. In instances where members also have officers or directors who are directors of the FHLBank, transactions with those members are subject to the same eligibility and credit criteria, as well as the same terms and conditions, as other transactions with members. For financial reporting and disclosure purposes, the FHLBank defines related parties as FHLBank directors’ financial institutions and members with capital stock investments in excess of 10 percent of the FHLBank’s total regulatory capital stock outstanding, which includes mandatorily redeemable capital stock.

Activity with Members that Exceed a 10 Percent Ownership in FHLBank Capital Stock: Tables 15.1 and 15.2 present information ~~as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016~~ on members that owned more than 10 percent of outstanding FHLBank regulatory capital stock ~~in 2017 or 2016~~as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 (dollar amounts in thousands). None of the officers or directors of these members currently serve on the FHLBank’s board of directors.

Executive Level Overview

We are a regional wholesale bank that makes advances (loans) to, purchases mortgage loans from, and provides limited other financial services primarily to our members. The FHLBanks, together with the Office of Finance, a joint office of the FHLBanks, make up the FHLBank System, which consists of 11 district FHLBanks. As independent, member-owned cooperatives, the FHLBanks seek to maintain a balance between their public purpose and their ability to provide adequate returns on the capital supplied by their members. The FHLBanks are supervised and regulated by the FHFA, an independent agency in the executive branch of the U.S. government. The FHFA’s 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.

Our primary funding source is consolidated obligations issued through the FHLBanks’ Office of Finance that facilitates the issuance and servicing of the consolidated obligations. The FHFA and the U.S. Secretary of the Treasury oversee the issuance of FHLBank debt. Consolidated obligations are debt instruments that constitute the joint and several obligations of all FHLBanks. Although consolidated obligations are not obligations of, nor guaranteed by, the U.S. government, the capital markets have traditionally viewed the FHLBanks’ consolidated obligations as “Federal agency” debt. As a result, the FHLBanks have historically had ready access to funding at relatively favorable spreads to U.S. Treasuries. Additional funds are provided by deposits (received from both member and non-member financial institutions), other borrowings, and the issuance of capital stock.

We serve eligible financial institutions in Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska, and Oklahoma (collectively, the Tenth District of the FHLBank System), who are also the member-owners of the FHLBank. Initially, a member is required to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock based on the member’s total assets subject to a per member cap of $500 thousand. Each member may be required to purchase activity-based capital stock (Class B Common Stock) as it engages in certain business activities with the FHLBank, including advances, standby letters of credit, and Acquired Member Assets (AMA), at levels determined by management with the Board of Director’s approval and within the ranges stipulated in ~~the~~our Capital ~~Stock~~ Plan. Currently, our capital increases when members are required to purchase additional capital stock in the form of Class B Common Stock to support an increase in their advance borrowings. In the past, capital stock also increased when members sold additional mortgage loans to us; however, members are no longer required to purchase capital stock for AMA activity, as the mortgage loans are supported by the retained earnings of the FHLBank (former members previously required to purchase AMA activity-based stock are subject to the prior requirement as long as there are UPBs outstanding). At our discretion, we may repurchase excess stock ~~if there is~~resulting from a decline in a member’s advances. We believe it is important to manage our business and the associated risks so that we strive to provide franchise value by maintaining a core mission asset focus and meeting the following objectives: (1) achieve our liquidity, housing finance and community development missions by meeting member credit needs by offering advances, supporting residential mortgage lending through the MPF Program and through other products; (2) periodically repurchase excess capital stock in order to appropriately manage the size of our balance sheet; and (3) pay acceptable dividends.

Net income ~~increased $1.3~~decreased $14.0 million, or ~~2.7~~30.7 percent, to ~~$49.5~~$31.7 million for the three months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017~~2019 compared to ~~$48.2~~$45.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018. Net income decreased $0.9 million, or 1.0 percent, for the six months ended June 30, 2019 to $84.5 million compared to $85.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The decline in net income for both periods was driven by mark-to-market losses on investment fair value hedges and an increase in the average cost of debt caused by an increase in short-term interest rates from June 30, 2018 to June 30, 2019, and the replacement of maturing debt at higher current market rates, combined with higher balances of lower yielding investments. Further, the decline in net income for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was a result of a decline in the average balance of interest-earning assets, primarily advances, in addition to the aforementioned factors. Declines in market interest rates since December 31, 2018 resulted in unrealized fair value losses recorded for the majority of economic derivatives, but those losses were offset by positive fair value fluctuations on trading securities, resulting in unrealized net gains recorded in other income for both the three- and six-month periods.

Net interest income after provision for credit losses for the three months ended June 30, 2019 was $49.2 million compared to $68.9 million for the same period in the prior year. ~~Net income increased $28.4 million, or 23.6 percent, to $148.8 million for~~For the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017~~2019, net interest income after provision for credit losses was $112.1 million compared to ~~$120.4~~$135.3 million for the same period in the prior year. The ~~increase~~majority of the decline in ~~net~~both the three- and six-month periods resulted from the impact of the adoption of a new hedge accounting standard on January 1, 2019 that requires gains and losses on designated fair value hedges to be presented in the income statement line item related to the hedged item, which is interest income/expense for the ~~quarter~~FHLBank. The guidance was ~~driven by an increase~~adopted prospectively, so the gains and losses on fair value hedges in the prior year are presented in other income, which creates a lack of comparability between periods. Net fair value losses on designated fair value hedges recorded in net interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2019 were $14.8 million, which resulted in a decrease in net interest margin of ~~$5.8 million, or 9.2 percent, partially offset by~~eleven basis points. Net fair value ~~fluctuations~~losses on ~~derivatives and hedging activities and trading securities.

Detailed discussion relating to the fluctuations in net interest income can be found under this Item 2 – “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Results of Operations.”

The decrease in net interest income unrelated to fair value fluctuations was caused by an increase in the average cost of debt for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 due to an increase in average interest rates, especially short-term interest rates, between periods, thereby decreasing net interest income. However, interest rates decreased during the second quarter of 2019, which allowed us to replace some unswapped callable consolidated obligation bonds at a lower cost, which partially offset some of the increase in the average cost of debt. Replacing callable debt generally increases interest costs in the short term due to the acceleration of the unamortized concessions (i.e., broker fees) on the debt when it is called because concession costs are amortized to contractual maturity. However, this increase is eventually offset by the lower rate on the new debt.

Total assets increased ~~$4.1~~$12.4 billion, or ~~9.2~~25.9 percent, from December 31, ~~2016~~2018 to ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017. This increase was due to~~2019 as a ~~$4.3 billion, or 18.1 percent,~~result of increases in short- and long-term investments and advances, with a smaller increase in ~~advances, mostly in our line~~mortgage loans. Mortgage loans increased 9.3 percent from December 31, 2018 to an all-time high of ~~credit and adjustable rate callable advances.~~$9.2 billion at June 30, 2019. The ~~growth in advances since 2014 has been largely attributed to our active promotion~~majority of the ~~all-in cost~~increase and change in composition of ~~advances considering~~investments was in response to changes to regulatory liquidity requirements effective March 31, 2019, including the ~~impact~~purchase of ~~our dividend~~$3.0 billion in U.S. Treasury obligations since that time and the increase in dividend rates on our Class B Common Stock (from 5.0 percent to 6.0 percent in 2014, and from 6.0 percent to 6.5 percent in 2017), which effectively reduces the cost of our advances to our members and increases our members' ability to profitably deploy the funding. During the third quarter of ~~2017, we also increased the dividend rate on our Class A Common Stock from 1.0 percent~~2018. The $5.0 billion increase in overnight investments was intended to 1.25 percent. Changes in interest rates could reduce the benefit of the dividend as it relates to advances to our members, which could cause a significant decline in advances. Our mortgage loan portfolio reached $7.1 billion during the quarter ended September 30, 2017, with recent growth attributed to recruitment of high-production PFIssupplement earnings and ~~program enhancements that provide PFIs with additional funding opportunities.~~offset upcoming maturities while market conditions were favorable.

This increase was primarily due to a ~~$4.3~~$5.6 billion increase in consolidated obligation bonds ~~partially offset by~~and a ~~$0.5~~$6.6 billion ~~decrease~~increase in consolidated obligation discount notes. Our funding mix generally is driven by asset composition, but we may also shift our debt composition as a result of market conditions that impact the cost of consolidated obligations swapped or indexed to ~~LIBOR.~~LIBOR, SOFR, or other indices. Short-term advances, including line of credit advances, represent the majority of the assets funded by term discount notes. We also use term and overnight discount notes to fund overnight investments to maintain liquidity sufficient to meet the advance needs of members. During the third quarter of 2017, we increased our allocation of floating rate consolidated obligation bonds to increase liquidity in response to uncertainty surrounding the pending Congressional budget resolution and debt ceiling deadline. For additional information, see Item 2 – “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Financial Condition.”

However, because this ratio is dependent on several variables such as member demand for our advance and mortgage loan products, it is possible that we will be unable to maintain the core mission assets ratio at this level indefinitely.

Financial Market Trends

The primary external factors that affect net interest income are market interest rates and the general state of the economy.

For further discussion, see this Item 2 – “Financial Condition – Consolidated Obligations.”

In July 2017, the Chief Executive of the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), which has regulated LIBOR since April 2013, announced the FCA’s intention to cease sustaining LIBOR after 2021. Many of our assets and liabilities are indexed to LIBOR, so we continue to evaluate the potential impact of the replacement of the LIBOR benchmark interest rate, including the possibility of SOFR prevailing as the most widely adopted replacement reference rate. We have assessed our current LIBOR exposure and have developed a transition plan that includes strategies to manage and reduce exposure in addition to operational readiness. The market transition away from LIBOR is expected to be gradual and complex, including the development of term and credit adjustments to accommodate differences between LIBOR, an unsecured rate, and SOFR, a secured rate. SOFR is based on a broad segment of the overnight U.S. Treasuries repurchase market and is intended to be a measure of the cost of borrowing cash overnight collateralized by U.S. Treasury securities. We started participating in SOFR-indexed debt issuances in November 2018 and swapping certain financial instruments to SOFR in January 2019 in an effort to manage our exposure to LIBOR assets and liabilities with maturities beyond 2021. We continue to evaluate the fallback language of derivative and investment contracts indexed to LIBOR in order to assess exposure. Derivative and investment exposure will also be impacted by the actions of industry groups and standard setters, which are still under deliberation.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of our financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make a number of judgments and assumptions that affect our reported results and disclosures. Several of our accounting policies are inherently subject to valuation assumptions and other subjective assessments and are more critical than others in terms of their importance to results. These assumptions and assessments include the following:

Accounting related to derivatives and hedging activities;

Fair value determinations;

Accounting for deferred premium/discount associated with MBS; and

Determining the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses.

Changes in any of the estimates and assumptions underlying critical accounting policies could have a material effect on our financial statements.

The accounting policies that management believes are the most critical to an understanding of our financial results and condition and require complex management judgment are described under Item 7 – “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” in our annual report on Form 10-K, incorporated by reference herein. There were no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates during the quarter ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017.~~2019.

Net income for the three months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017~~2019 was ~~$49.5~~$31.7 million compared to ~~$48.2~~$45.7 million for the three months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2016.~~2018. Net income for the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017~~2019 was ~~$148.8~~$84.5 million compared to ~~$120.4~~$85.3 million for the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2016.~~2018. The decline in both periods was driven by a decline in net interest income resulting from mark-to-market losses on investment fair value hedges and an increase in ~~net income for~~ the ~~quarter was driven~~average cost of debt caused by an increase in short-term interest rates and the replacement of maturing debt at higher market rates, combined with higher balances of lower yielding investments. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, the decline in net income was also a result of a decline in the average balance of interest-earning assets, primarily advances, in addition to the aforementioned factors. The decreases in net interest income ~~of $5.8 million, or 9.2 percent,~~were partially offset by net unrealized fair value gains on economic derivatives and trading securities. Declines in market interest rates since December 31, 2018 resulted in unrealized fair value losses recorded for the majority of economic derivatives, but those losses were offset by positive fair value fluctuations on ~~derivatives and hedging activities and trading securities. For the nine-month period, the increase was largely a result of fair value fluctuations on derivatives and hedging activities and~~ trading securities, ~~compared to~~resulting in unrealized net gains recorded in other income for both the ~~prior year period, combined with the increase in net interest income~~three- and six-month periods (for further discussion see Item 2 – “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of ~~$8.7 million, or 4.5 percent.~~Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Results of Operations – Net Gains (Losses) on Derivatives and Hedging Activities").

Net Interest Income: Net interest income, which includes interest earned on advances, mortgage loans, and investments less interest paid on consolidated obligations, deposits, and other borrowings is the primary source of our earnings. Net interest income ~~increased $5.8 million and $8.7~~decreased $19.7 million for the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017~~2019 and ~~2016, respectively,~~decreased $23.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the prior year periods. The majority of the decline in both the three- and six-month periods resulted from the impact of the adoption of a new hedge accounting standard on January 1, 2019 that requires gains and losses on designated fair value hedges to be presented in the income statement line item related to the hedged item, which is interest income/expense for the FHLBank. The guidance was adopted prospectively, so the gains and losses on fair value hedges in the prior year are presented in other income, which creates a lack of comparability between periods. Net fair value losses on designated fair value hedges recorded in net interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2019 were $14.8 million, which decreased net interest margin by eleven basis points. Net fair value losses on designated fair value hedges recorded in net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2019 were $18.9 million, which decreased net interest margin by seven basis points.

The decrease in net interest income unrelated to fair value fluctuations was caused by an increase in the average cost of debt for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 due to ~~growth~~an increase in ~~advances, primarily in our line~~average interest rates, especially short-term interest rates, between periods, thereby decreasing net interest income. A relatively small portion of ~~credit advances~~long-term assets are funded with short-term debt, so the funding benefit created by the term mismatch is reduced as short-term interest rates rise. However, interest rates on longer tenors decreased during the second quarter of 2019, which allowed us to call and ~~adjustable rate~~replace some unswapped callable ~~advances; replacement of matured and called~~ consolidated ~~obligations~~obligation bonds at a lower cost, ~~during~~which will ultimately offset some of the ~~last half~~increase in the average cost of ~~2016,~~debt. Replacing callable debt generally increases interest costs in the short term due to the acceleration of the unamortized concessions (i.e., broker fees) on the debt when it is called because concession costs are amortized to contractual maturity. However, this increase is eventually offset by the lower rate on the new debt.

Net interest margin decreased from 50 basis points for the three months ended June 30, 2018 to 35 basis points for the three months ended June 30, 2019, and decreased from 48 basis points for the six months ended June 30, 2018 to 41 basis points for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The decline in net interest margin unrelated to fair value fluctuations for both periods was primarily due to an increase in the cost of consolidated obligations, which ~~partially offset~~increased 61 basis points and 76 basis points for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, compared to the prior year periods. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, the decline in net interest margin was also a result of a $1.4 billion decline in the average balance of interest-earning assets, including a $4.6 billion decline in the average balance of advances. Net interest spread decreased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the prior year periods primarily due also to the increase in the cost of debt and the resulting from the increase in market interest rates; and an increase in consolidated obligations that were allocated to money market investments (see Table 5). Despite the increase in net interest income, net interest spread and net interest margin ~~both decreased slightly or remained the same for the three- and nine-month periods primarily due to increases in the average rate on borrowings between both the three- and nine-month periods,~~compression, which ~~was largely offset by increases in the average yield on interest-earning assets between periods, all of which are~~is discussed in greater detail ~~below.~~below (see Tables 11 and 13).

~~For the three months ended September 30, 2017, the~~The average yield on investments, which ~~consist~~consists of interest-bearing deposits, Federal funds sold, ~~securities purchased under agreement to resell (reverse~~reverse repurchase ~~agreements),~~agreements, and investment securities increased 4918 basis points, ~~to 1.60 percent,~~ from ~~1.11~~2.20 percent for the three months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2016.~~2018 to 2.38 percent for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The average yield on investments increased 45 basis points, from 2.06 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2018 to 2.51 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The increase in yields for both periods was primarily a result of a $1.1 billion increase in the average balance and a 71 basis point increase in yield on short-term investments and a $0.8 billion increase in the average balance and a 39 basis point increase in yield on long-term investments. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the average yield increased 26 basis points to 1.44 percent, from 1.18 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 as a result of an increase in the average yield on short-term investments of 52 basis points and an increase of $1.0 billion in the average balance of the portfolio and a $0.9 billion increase in the average balance and a 15 basis point increase in yield on long-term investments. For both periods, the increase in short-term interest rates and higher average balances of money market investments and growth in higher-yielding fixed rate multi-family GSE MBS, along with the upward repricing of indices associated with variable rate instruments. The increase in money market investments was driven by attractive yields and spreads on reverse repurchase agreements ~~and Federal funds sold.~~while maintaining targeted leverage. For both periods, this increase in yield was partially offset by purchases of U.S. Treasury obligations with average yields lower than the existing portfolio in response to changes to regulatory liquidity requirements.

~~For the three months ended September 30, 2017, the~~The average yield on advances increased 6163 basis points, ~~to 1.39 percent,~~ from ~~0.78~~2.07 percent for the three months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2016. For~~2018 to 2.70 percent for the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017, the~~2019. The average yield on advances increased 4585 basis points, ~~to 1.21 percent,~~ from ~~0.76~~1.87 percent for the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2016.~~2018 to 2.72 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The increase in the average yield on advances ~~for~~during both ~~periods~~the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 was due to ~~the increase~~continued increases in ~~short-term interest rates in conjunction with~~our cost of funds primarily due to FOMC policy ~~changes.~~changes and the corresponding increases in average short term rates, which adjusted variable rate advances and advance originations upward and positively impacted the net interest settlements on swapped advances. The average balance of advances ~~increased $2.4~~decreased $3.1 billion, ~~and $1.6 billion for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, which contributed to the increase in net interest income along with the increase in yields.~~

~~For~~or 10.1 percent from the three months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017,~~2018 compared to the same period in 2019. The average balance of advances decreased $4.6 billion, or 14.2 percent, from the six months ended June 30, 2018 to the same period of 2019. The decline in the average balance of advances resulted from the change in the relationship between certain short-term rates, as short-term advance rates became less attractive relative to the rate on excess reserves.

The average yield on mortgage loans increased 612 basis points, ~~to 3.12 percent,~~ from ~~3.06~~3.25 percent for the three months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2016. For~~2018 to 3.37 percent for the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017, the~~2019.

The increase in yield for the ~~three-month period~~three- and six-month periods was a result of ~~a decrease~~increased production at rates higher than the existing portfolio, partially offset by increases in premium amortization ~~from slowing prepayments.

~~For the three months ended September 30, 2017, the~~The average cost of consolidated obligation bonds increased 1355 basis points, ~~to 1.43 percent,~~ from ~~1.30~~1.95 percent for the three months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2016.

During 2016, we were able to replace some maturing consolidated obligation bonds and called unswapped consolidated obligation bonds at a lower cost, which partially offset the increase in the cost of debt resulting from the increase in market interest rates. The average cost of discount notes increased 69 basis points, from 0.35 percent for the three months ended September 30, 2016 to 1.04 percent for the three months ended September 30, 2017,current three-month period, and the average cost of discount notes increased 4768 basis points over the same period, from 1.75 percent for the three months ended June 30, 2018 to 2.43 percent for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The average cost of consolidated obligation bonds increased 67 basis points, from ~~0.34~~1.84 percent for the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2016~~2018 to ~~0.81~~2.51 percent for the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017 as~~2019. The average cost of discount notes increased 86 basis points, from 1.57 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2018 to 2.43 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The increase in the average cost of consolidated obligation bonds and discount notes was a result of the increase in ~~short-term~~ interest rates between ~~periods.

For further discussion of how we use ~~bonds~~discount notes and ~~discount notes,~~bonds, see Item 2 – “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Financial Condition – Consolidated Obligations.”

Our net interest spread is impacted by derivative and hedging activities, as the assets and liabilities hedged with derivative instruments designated under fair value hedging relationships are adjusted for changes in fair values, while other assets and liabilities are carried at historical cost. For 2019, net interest income includes unrealized gains (losses) on hedged items and derivatives in qualifying hedge relationships as a result of new hedge accounting guidance adopted January 1, 2019. Further, in both 2018 and 2019, net interest payments or receipts on interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges and the amortization/accretion of hedging activities are recognized as adjustments to the interest income or expense of the hedged asset or liability. However, net interest payments or receipts on derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting (economic hedges) flow through net ~~gain (loss)~~gains (losses) on derivatives and hedging activities instead of net interest income (net interest received/paid on economic derivatives is identified in Tables 915 through 1218 under this Item 2), which does not reflect the full economic impact of the swaps on yields, especially for trading investments that are swapped to a variable rate. Tables 7 through 10 present the impact of derivatives and hedging activities recorded in net interest income (in thousands):

Net ~~Gain (Loss)~~Gains (Losses) on Derivatives and Hedging Activities: The volatility in other income (loss) is driven predominantly by net gains (losses) on derivative and hedging transactions, which generally ~~includes~~include interest rate swaps, caps and floors. Net ~~gain (loss)~~gains (losses) from derivatives and hedging activities isare sensitive to several factors, including: (1) the general level of interest rates; (2) the shape of the term structure of interest rates; and (3) implied volatilities of interest rates. The fair value of options, particularly interest rate caps and floors, are also impacted by the time value decay that occurs as the options approach maturity, but this factor represents the normal amortization of the cost of these options and flows through income irrespective of any changes in the other factors impacting the fair value of the options (level of rates, shape of curve, and implied volatility).

As reflected in Tables 915 through ~~12,~~18, the majority of the derivative net unrealized gains and losses are related to changes in the fair values of economic hedges, ~~such as interest rate swaps matched to GSE debentures or MBS classified as trading securities and interest rate caps,~~ which do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment under GAAP. Net interest payments or receipts on these economic hedges flow through net ~~gain (loss)~~gains (losses) on derivatives and hedging activities instead of net interest income, which does not reflect the full economic impact of the swaps on yields, especially for ~~fixed rate~~ trading investments that are swapped to variable rates. ~~Ineffectiveness~~For periods prior to January 1, 2019, ineffectiveness on fair value hedges ~~contributes~~contributed to unrealized gains and losses on derivatives, but to a ~~much~~ lesser degree. Beginning January 1, 2019, fair value fluctuations on fair value hedges are recorded in the financial statement line item related to the hedged item (i.e., interest income or expense) in accordance with the prospective adoption of new hedge accounting guidance. In the past, we generally recorded net unrealized gains on derivatives when the overall level of interest rates would rise over the period and recorded net unrealized losses when the overall level of interest rates would fall over the period, due to the mix of the economic hedges. Net unrealized gains or losses on derivatives ~~and the related trading securities are generally~~will continue to be primarily a function of the general level of LIBOR swap rates and the spread between the LIBOR swap curve and the GSE interest rate curve (interest ~~rate~~rates swaps that are economic hedges of GSE debentures held in trading)~~. The net fair values of derivatives and the related trading MBS are~~, but will also be affected by the spread between the LIBOR swap curve and mortgage rates (interest rate swaps that are economic hedges of fixed rate GSE MBS held in trading), the OIS curve and U.S. Treasury rates, and the SOFR swap curve and U.S. Treasury rates (interest rate swaps that are economic hedges of fixed rate U.S. Treasury obligations held in trading).

For the ~~three-~~three and ~~nine-month periods~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017,~~2019, net ~~unrealized~~ gains and losses on derivatives and hedging activities ~~decreased~~resulted in a decrease in net income ~~by $9.9~~of $47.0 million and ~~increased net income by $74.5~~$82.2 million, respectively, compared to the ~~same~~prior year periods ~~in 2016,~~ primarily as a result of changes in the LIBOR swap curve ~~over the respective periods. The net losses on derivatives~~between periods, and, ~~hedging activities and trading securities for the current quarter correspond~~ to ~~the significant improvement~~a lesser extent, changes in other swap spreads and an increase in interest rates in the prior year period that resulted in unrealized gains. In the current year period, these same swap spreads and interest rates have not changed as dramatically, resulting in a slight unrealized loss on the economic interest rate swaps hedging the multi-family GSE MBS and a decrease in unrealized gains on the economic swaps hedging the GSE debentures.indices. The majority of the ~~positive~~declines in fair value ~~fluctuations~~ for ~~the nine month-period~~both periods were related to the economic interest rate swaps hedging the multi-family GSE ~~MBS.~~MBS, GSE debentures, and U.S. Treasury obligations. The overall increase in the ~~LIBOR~~level of swap ~~curve between periods also~~index rates from June 30, 2018 to June 30, 2019 had a positive impact on the net interest settlements onof interest rate swaps, which increased net ~~unrealized gains on derivatives and hedging activities~~income by ~~$5.7~~$1.5 million and $20.2 million for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2017, respectively. Increases in swap spreads during the first half of 2016 caused fair value decreases for many of our economic hedges, but especially interest rate swaps economically hedging multi-family GSE MBS recorded as trading securities. These spreads improved significantly towards the end of 2016 and have remained relatively stable into the first nine months of 2017, despite some widening in the second quarter that has resulted in unrealized losses of $0.1 million and $2.6 million for the current three- and nine-month periods, respectively, compared to unrealized gains of $6.1 million and unrealized losses of $49.7 million for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2016, respectively. All of these multi-family GSE MBS and the associated interest rate swaps were purchased or entered into after May 2015 and are expected to create more income statement volatility than the interest rate swaps and related trading GSE debentures due to the relatively long length of the contracts and their relationship with mortgage rates, which tend to be more volatile than rates on GSE debentures.

~~Unrealized gains of $1.3 million and $3.7~~$2.9 million for the three and ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017 were attributable~~2019, respectively, compared to the ~~fair value changes of our~~prior year periods.

The net unrealized losses on the economic interest rate swaps ~~matched to~~hedging the multi-family GSE MBS, U.S. Treasury obligations, and GSE debentures as a result of the passage of time, as several derivatives approached maturity (reducing the overall loss position of the derivatives), changes in interest rates for their respective maturities (pay fixed rate swap), and increases in three-month LIBOR (receive variable rate swap). These fluctuations were mostly offset by the net unrealized ~~losses~~gains attributable to the swapped ~~GSE debentures,~~securities, which are recorded in net ~~gain (loss)~~gains (losses) on trading securities. The unrealized gains on trading securities were generally driven by the decreases in interest rates between periods and are discussed in greater detail below.

Net ~~Gain (Loss)~~Gains (Losses) on Trading Securities: All unrealized gains and losses related to trading securities are recorded in other income (loss) as net ~~gain (loss)~~gains (losses) on trading securities; however, only gains and losses relating to trading securities that are related to economic hedges are included in Tables 915 through ~~14.~~18. Unrealized gains (losses) fluctuate as the fair value of our trading portfolio fluctuates. There are a number of factors that can impact the fair value of a trading security including the movement in interest rates, changes in credit spreads, the passage of time, and changes in price volatility.

Our trading portfolio is comprised primarily of fixed rate U.S. Treasury obligations, variable and fixed rate GSE debentures, ~~and~~ fixed rate multi-family GSE MBS, with ~~a small percentage~~smaller percentages of variable rate GSE MBS. Periodically, we also invest in short-term securities classified as trading for liquidity purposes. In general, the fixed rate securities are related to economic hedges in the form of interest rate swaps that convert fixed rates to variable rates (see Table 1319 and 1420 for the association between the gains (losses) on the fixed rate securities and the related economic hedges). The fair values of the fixed rate GSE debentures are affected by changes in intermediate interest rates ~~(e.g., two-year to four-year rates)~~ and credit spreads, and are swapped on an economic basis to three-month LIBOR. The fair values of the fixed rate multi-family GSE MBS are affected by changes in mortgage rates and credit spreads, and these securities are swapped on an economic basis to one-month LIBOR. ~~The~~We experienced unrealized gains of $20.5 million and $36.3 million on our fixed rate multi-family GSE MBS investments ~~increased $1.2~~for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, compared to unrealized losses of $9.0 million and $27.0 million for the ~~current quarter,~~three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively, due to a ~~slight~~ decrease in mortgage-related interest rates ~~and credit spreads compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2016.~~between periods. The decrease ~~of $43.6 million~~ in ~~net~~intermediate interest rates between periods resulted in unrealized gains on ~~these same investments~~the fixed rate GSE debentures and U.S. Treasury obligations for the ~~current nine-month period was a result of a more significant decline in mortgage interest rates in the prior year period compared to the current year period.~~three months and six months ended June 30, 2019. In addition to interest rates and credit spreads, the value of these securities is affected by time decay. The fixed rate GSE debentures possess coupons that are well above current market rates for similar securities and, therefore, are currently valued at substantial premiums. As these securities approach maturity, their prices will converge to par resulting in a decrease in their current premium price (i.e., time decay). Given that the variable rate GSE debentures re-price monthly, they generally account for a small portion of the net ~~gain (loss)~~gains (losses) on trading securities unless current market spreads on these variable rate securities diverge from the spreads at the time of our acquisition of the securities.

See Tables 46 and 47 under Item 3 – “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” for additional detail regarding notional and fair value amounts of derivative instruments.

Other Expenses: Other expenses, which include compensation and benefits and other operating expenses, increased ~~$1.6 million~~ to ~~$19.5~~$18.3 million and ~~$3.3 million to $50.2~~$35.3 million for the three and ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017~~2019, compared to ~~$17.9~~$15.5 million and ~~$46.9~~$31.0 million for the ~~same periods in the prior year.~~three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively.

The increase in compensation ~~was due to the hiring~~and benefits expense between periods is largely a result of ~~additional employees~~higher incentive accruals based on goal attainment as of June 30, 2019 and an increase in the ~~base salaries~~cost of existing employees. We expect to remain at or near 2016 levels of compensation and benefits expense for 2017. Other operating expense increased by $1.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 primarily due to new software implementations and is expected to continue to increase during the remainder of 2017 and into 2018 due to additional planned software implementations. We expect a moderate increase in occupancy expense in 2017 as we complete construction of a new office building later this year, and as a result, experience duplicative maintenance costs for a brief period.health insurance.

Non-GAAP Measures: We fulfill our mission by: (1) providing liquidity to our members through the offering of advances to finance housing, economic development and community lending; (2) supporting residential mortgage lending through the MPF Program and purchases of MBS; and (3) providing regional affordable housing programs that create housing opportunities for very low-, low- and moderate-income families. In order to effectively accomplish our mission, we must obtain adequate funding amounts at acceptable interest rate levels. We use derivatives as tools to reduce our funding costs and manage interest rate risk and prepayment risk. We also acquire and classify certain investments as trading securities for liquidity and asset-liability management purposes. Although we strive to manage interest rate risk and prepayment risk utilizing these transactions for asset-liability tools, we do not manage the fluctuations in the fair value of our derivatives or trading securities. We are essentially a “hold-to-maturity” investor and transact derivatives only for hedging purposes, even though some derivative hedging relationships do not qualify for hedge accounting under GAAP (referred to as economic hedges) and therefore can add significant volatility to our GAAP net income.

~~Adjusted income~~Our business model is aprimarily one of holding assets and liabilities to maturity. However, we utilize some assets and liabilities for liquidity purposes, which may involve periodic instrument sales. As such, we believe that certain non-GAAP ~~measure used by management to evaluate the quality~~financial measures are helpful in understanding our operating results and provide meaningful period-to-period comparison of our ~~ongoing earnings. We believe that the presentation of adjusted income as measured for management purposes enhances the understanding of our performance by highlighting our underlying~~long-term economic value in contrast to GAAP results, ~~and profitability. By removing volatility created~~which can be impacted by fair value ~~fluctuations and items such~~changes driven by market volatility or transactions that are considered unpredictable or not routine. We report the following non-GAAP financial measures that we believe are useful to stakeholders as ~~prepayment fees, we can compare longer-term trends in earnings that might otherwise be indeterminable. Management uses~~key measures of our operating performance: (1) adjusted income, (2) adjusted net interest ~~income~~margin, and (3) adjusted ROE. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to ~~evaluate~~ the earnings impact of economic hedges (derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting). Net interest payments or receipts on economic hedges flow through net gain (loss) on derivatives and hedging activities instead of net interest income due tomost comparable GAAP accounting requirements. We believe that the presentation of the net interest impact of economic hedges in net interest income provides a more useful depiction of net interest income for the purposes of yield analysis and the overall economics of the relationship, especially for fixed rate investments thatmeasure are ~~swapped to a variable rate.~~

included below. Although we calculate our non-GAAP financial measures consistently from period to period using appropriate GAAP components, non-GAAP financial measures are not required to be uniformly applied and are not audited. ~~These~~Another material limitation associated with the use of non-GAAP financial measures is that they have no standardized measurement prescribed by GAAP and may not be comparable to similar non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. While we believe the non-GAAP measures contained in this quarterly report are frequently used by our stakeholders in the evaluation of our performance, ~~but they~~such non-GAAP measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analyses of ~~results as reported under~~financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.

~~Adjusted~~Our adjusted income is defined as our net income ~~increased $10.8 million and $25.2 million~~reported in accordance with GAAP as adjusted for the ~~three~~impact of: (1) AHP assessments (equivalent to an effective minimum income tax rate of 10 percent); (2) fair value changes on derivatives and ~~nine months ended September 30, 2017~~hedging activities (excludes net interest settlements related to derivatives not qualifying for hedge accounting); (3) prepayment fees on advances; and (4) other items excluded because they are not considered a part of our routine operations, such as gains/losses on retirement of debt, gains/losses on mortgage loans held for sale, and gains/losses on securities. We use adjusted income to compute an adjusted ROE that is then compared to the ~~same periods~~average overnight Federal funds effective rate, with the difference referred to as adjusted ROE spread. Components of adjusted income and adjusted ROE spread are used: (1) to measure performance under our incentive compensation plans; (2) as a measure in determining the ~~prior year. The increase was due primarily~~level of quarterly dividends; and (3) in strategic planning. While we utilize adjusted income as a key measure in determining the level of dividends, we consider GAAP net income volatility caused by gains (losses) on derivatives and hedging activities and trading securities in determining the adequacy of our retained earnings as determined under GAAP. Because the adequacy of GAAP retained earnings is considered in setting the level of our quarterly dividends, gains (losses) on derivatives and hedging activities and trading securities can come into consideration when setting the level of our quarterly dividends.

Derivative and hedge accounting affects the timing of income or expense from derivatives. However, when the derivatives are held to ~~increased adjusted~~maturity or call dates, there is no economic income or expense impact from these derivatives. For example, interest rate caps are purchased with an upfront fixed cost to provide protection against the risk of rising interest rates. Under derivative accounting guidance, these instruments are then marked to fair value each month, which can result in having to recognize significant fair value gains and losses from year to year, producing volatility in our GAAP net ~~interest~~income. However, if held to maturity, the sum of such gains and losses over the term of a derivative will equal its original purchase price.

In addition to impacting the timing of income ~~which includes~~and expense from derivatives, derivative accounting also impacts the ~~impact~~presentation of net interest settlements on derivatives ~~not qualifying~~and hedging activities. This presentation differs under GAAP for economic hedges when compared to hedges that qualify for hedge ~~accounting, partially offset by an~~accounting. Net interest settlements on economic hedges are included with the economic derivative fair value changes and are recorded in net gains (losses) on derivatives and hedging activities while the net interest settlements on qualifying fair value hedges are included in net interest margin. Therefore, only the economic derivative fair value changes and the ineffectiveness for qualifying hedges included in the net gains (losses) on derivatives and hedging activities are removed to arrive at adjusted income (i.e., net interest settlements on economic hedges, which represent actual cash inflows or outflows and do not create fair value volatility, are not removed).

Adjusted income decreased $6.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the same period in the prior year. The decrease was primarily due to a $3.4 million decrease in adjusted net interest income (see Table 23) and a $2.8 million increase in other expenses. Adjusted income decreased $6.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the same period in the prior year as a result of a $4.3 million increase in other expenses, ~~as discussed previously. Adjusted net interest income increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the same periods~~a $1.4 million decrease in 2016 due to the replacement of called and matured debt at a lower cost during the last half of 2016, the impact of which is more apparent when net interest settlements of economic hedges are presented with the other components of net interest income because it reflects the impact of LIBOR repricing on both the asset and liability. Adjusted net interest margin, which is calculated with adjusted net interest income, ~~increased~~and a $0.8 million decline in other income. For both the three- and six-month periods, the decline in adjusted net interest income was a result of an increase in the average cost of debt largely due to increases in average market rates between periods but also as a result of accelerated amortization of concessions on called bonds as discussed previously. The increase in other expenses for both the three- and six-month periods was primarily due to an increase in compensation and benefits.

Financial Condition

Overall: Total assets increased ~~$4.1~~$12.4 billion, or ~~9.2~~25.9 percent, from December 31, ~~2016~~2018 to ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017. This~~2019 primarily due to increases in short- and long-term investments and advances, with a smaller increase in mortgage loans. Mortgage loans increased 9.3 percent from December 31, 2018 to an all-time high of $9.2 billion at June 30, 2019. The majority of the increase and change in composition of investments was in response to changes to regulatory liquidity requirements that became effective March 31, 2019, including the purchase of $3.0 billion in U.S. Treasury obligations since the third quarter of 2018. Total capital increased $126.4 million, or 5.2 percent, between periods due to the increase in capital stock from advance utilization, net income in excess of dividends paid, and unrealized gains on available-for-sale securities.

Average interest-earning assets increased $0.9 billion, or 1.7 percent, for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and declined $1.4 billion, or 2.5 percent, for the for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The average balance of advances declined for both periods, but higher average levels of investment securities and continued strong growth in the average balances of mortgage loans kept average interest-earning assets relatively steady. The decline in the average balance of advances resulted from the change in the relationship between certain short-term rates, as short-term advance rates became less attractive relative to the rate on excess reserves. The increase in mortgage loans was ~~due primarily~~attributed in large part to continued ~~growth in advances, mostly in~~production from our ~~line~~top five PFIs and utilization of credit and adjustable rate callable advances, and continued steady growth in our mortgage loan portfolio. Our mortgage loan portfolio reached $7.1 billion during the quarter ended September 30, 2017, with recent ~~growth attributed to recruitment of high-production PFIs and~~ program enhancements that provide PFIs with additional funding opportunities. ~~We have been actively promoting~~

Total liabilities increased $12.2 billion, or 27.0 percent, from December 31, 2018 to June 30, 2019. This increase was primarily due to a $5.6 billion increase in consolidated obligation bonds and a $6.6 billion increase in consolidated obligation discount notes. Our funding mix generally is driven by asset composition, but we may also shift our debt composition as a result of market conditions that impact the ~~impact of the dividend paid on outstanding capital stock on the effective borrowing~~ cost of ~~advances~~consolidated obligations swapped or indexed to ~~increase member awareness of~~LIBOR, SOFR, or other indices.

The weighted average dividend rate for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was 6.56 which represented a dividend payout ratio of 57.1 percent, compared to a weighted average dividend rate of 6.00 percent and a payout ratio of 58.5 percent for the same period in 2018.

~~During the third quarter of 2017, two significant hurricanes impacted the southeastern coasts of the United States. On August 25, 2017, Hurricane Harvey made landfall near Corpus Christi, Texas~~

Short-term money market investments and caused substantial damage and flooding to southeastern Texas, including the Houston metropolitan area. On September 10, 2017, Hurricane Irma made landfall on the Florida mainland near Marco Island, Florida. Hurricane Irma then moved northward through Florida and into Georgia, causing significant damage to property in Florida, Georgia, and certain other southeastern states.

We have analyzed the potential impact that damage related to Hurricanes Irma and Harvey might have on our mortgage loans held for portfolio and private-label residential MBS. Based on our historical experience with similar storms, we do not expect that losses resulting from Hurricanes Irma and Harvey will have a material effect on our financial condition or results of operations. Using the information currently available, we did not record any additional impairment on our mortgage loans held for portfolio or private-label residential MBSinvestment securities increased notably as of September 30, 2017. We will continue to evaluate the impact of these hurricanes on our mortgage loans held for portfolio and non-agency MBS investments. If additional information becomes available indicating that any of these assets has been impaired and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated, we will record appropriate reserves at that time.

As a percentage of assets at ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017~~2019 compared to December 31, ~~2016,~~2018. The increase in money market investments was driven by attractive yields and spreads on reverse repurchase agreements while maintaining targeted leverage. The increase in investment securities ~~and advances increased, while short-term investments and mortgage loans decreased, despite continued growth in the mortgage portfolio. Advance balances fluctuate seasonally and tend~~was largely due to ~~trend down at the end~~purchases of a quarter, but the average balance of advances increased by $2.4 billion, or 8.1 percent, during the third quarter of 2017 compared to the third quarter of 2016. In terms of liabilities, we increased the allocation of consolidated obligation bonds relative to total consolidated obligation discount notes and bonds at September 30, 2017 compared to December 31, 2016, and we increased the allocation of floating rate consolidated obligation bonds with longer-term structures to increase liquidityU.S. Treasury obligations in response to ~~uncertainty surrounding the pending Congressional budget resolution and debt ceiling deadline.~~regulatory liquidity requirements that became effective March 31, 2019. We continue to fund our short-term advances and overnight investments with term and overnight discount ~~notes.~~notes, which is reflected in the increased allocation of discount notes as a percentage of total consolidated obligations. The decrease in the percentage of advances and mortgage loans to total assets was a direct result of the increase in short-term investments and investment securities at June 30, 2019 compared to December 31, 2018.

Advances: Our advance products are developed, as authorized in the Bank Act and in regulations established by the FHFA, to meet the specific liquidity and term funding needs of our members. As a wholesale provider of funds, we compete with brokered certificates of deposit and security repurchase agreements. We strive to price our advances relative to our marginal cost of funds while trying to remain competitive with the wholesale funding markets. While there is typically less competition in the long-term maturities, member demand for advances in these maturities has historically been lower than the demand for advances with short- and medium-term maturities. Nonetheless, long-term advances are also priced at relatively low spreads to our cost of funds.

~~Note that an~~An individual advance may be reclassified to a different product type between periods due to the occurrence of a triggering event such as the passing of a call date (i.e., from fixed rate callable advance to regular fixed rate advance) or conversion of an advance (i.e., from fixed rate convertible advance to adjustable rate callable advance).

Advances are one of the primary ways we fulfill our mission of providing liquidity to our members and constituted the largest asset on our balance sheet at ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017~~2019 and December 31, ~~2016.~~2018. The ~~18.2~~7.8 percent increase in advance par value from December 31, ~~2016~~2018 to June 30, 2019 (see Table ~~21)~~27) was primarily due ~~mostly~~ to an increase in our ~~line of credit and~~ adjustable rate callable advances. Changes in interest rates could reduce the benefit of line of credit advances to our members, which could cause a significant decline in advances. We expect advances as a percent of total assets to remain near current levels as part of our core mission asset focus and continued efforts to promote awareness of the benefits of higher dividends (see “Executive Level Overview”~~under this Item 2), but we cannot predict member demand for our advance products.~~

As of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017~~2019 and December 31, ~~2016, 68.0~~2018, 58.0 percent and ~~65.7~~63.0 percent, respectively, of our members carried outstanding advance balances. The overall demand for our advances ~~can~~is typically ~~be attributed~~influenced by our members’ ability to profitably invest the ~~demand~~funds in loans and investments as well as their need for ~~loans that our depository members are experiencing~~liquidity, which is influenced by changes in ~~their communities~~loan demand and their ability to ~~fund those loans with deposit growth. It is also influenced by~~efficiently grow deposits proportionately. The attractiveness of our ~~insurance company members’ need for operational liquidity and the ability of both depository and insurance company members to profitably invest advance funding. The demand for~~ advances is also influenced by the impact our dividends have on the effective cost of advances. Dividend yields have trended higher since the last half of 2014, which has provided members with more opportunities to profitably invest advance funding, resulting in historically high levels of advances outstanding. The majorityIn recent periods, a portion of the growth in average advances ~~experienced is~~resulted from our members’ ability to invest advances in excess reserves at the Federal Reserve and receive a ~~result~~profitable risk adjusted return largely because of the dividend paid on the capital stock supporting the advances. During 2018, the relationship between the interest on excess reserves and other short-term interest rates changed, resulting in a ~~small number~~decline in the average balance of ~~large members increasing~~ short-term ~~advances. We anticipate~~advances as the short-term advance rates became less attractive relative to the yield on excess reserves at the Federal Reserve. When, and if, member advance demand ~~for advances to remain steady with these members. Advances with other~~changes, a few larger members could ~~decline or remain flat until greater levels~~have a significant impact on the amount of ~~funding can be reallocated from short-term liquid assets into higher-yielding loans or assets.~~total outstanding advances. If our members reduce the volume of their advances, we expect to continue our past practice of repurchasing excess capital stock. In addition, when, and if, member advance demand changes, a few larger members could have a significant impact on the amount of total outstanding advances, much like what has occurred since the latter half of 2014.

Rather than match-funding long-term, fixed rate, large dollar advances, we elect to swap a significant portion of large dollar advances with longer maturities to short-term indices ~~(one-~~(primarily one- or three-month ~~LIBOR)~~LIBOR and, to a much smaller extent, OIS beginning in late 2018 and SOFR in 2019) to synthetically create adjustable rate advances. When coupled with the volume of our short-term advances, advances that effectively re-price at least every three months represent ~~89.5~~90.8 percent and ~~87.5~~89.8 percent of our total advance portfolio as of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017~~2019 and December 31, ~~2016,~~2018, respectively. We anticipate continuing the practice of swapping large dollar advances with longer maturities to short-term indices. In the first quarter of 2019, we began swapping fixed rate non-callable advances to SOFR as part of our plan to transition away from LIBOR as a reference rate.

MPF Program: The MPF Program is a secondary mortgage market alternative for our members, especially utilized by the smaller institutions in our district. We participate in the MPF Program through the MPF Provider, a division of FHLBank of Chicago. Under the MPF Program, participating members can sell us conventional and government ~~fixed rate, size-conforming,~~ single-family residential mortgage loans.

The principal amount of new mortgage loans acquired and held on our balance sheet from our PFIs during the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017~~2019 was ~~$1.1~~$1.3 billion. These new originations and acquisitions, net of loan payments received, resulted in an increase of ~~6.2~~9.3 percent in the outstanding net balance of our mortgage loan portfolio from December 31, ~~2016~~2018 to ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017. Net~~2019. Despite the increase, net mortgage loans as a percentage of total assets decreased, ~~slightly~~ from ~~14.7~~17.6 percent as of December 31, ~~2016~~2018 to ~~14.3~~15.3 percent as of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017.~~2019 because of an increase in the percentage of investments held to meet new regulatory liquidity requirements. Table 46 presents the amount of interest income on mortgage loans held for portfolio as a percentage of total interest income for the three and ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017~~2019 and ~~2016.~~2018. Although mortgage loan balances ~~grew to over $7.0 billion as of September 30, 2017, mortgage loans as a percentage of total assets and~~have grown steadily in recent years, the percentage of mortgage loan interest income to total interest income ~~has~~remained flat and declined ~~predominantly~~slightly for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2019, respectively, compared to June 30, 2018. This is due to an increase in the average ~~advance balances as a percentage~~balance and yield of ~~average total assets~~investment securities and the resulting increase in ~~advance~~investment interest income.

Recent growth in mortgage loans held for portfolio is attributed primarily to ~~the recruitment of high-production~~continued production from our top five PFIs, ~~but we have also made~~supported by enhancements to the pricing structures that provide PFIs with additional funding opportunities. Recent reductions in the required CE obligation against current and past production may reduce our PFIs' risk-based capital requirements and result in additional MPF portfolio growth.options available to PFIs. The primary factors that may influence future growth in our mortgage loans held for portfolio include: (1) the number of new and delivering PFIs; (2) the mortgage loan origination volume of current PFIs; (3) refinancing activity; (4) the level of interest rates and the shape of the yield curve; (5) the relative competitiveness of MPF pricing to the prices offered by other buyers of residential mortgage loans; and (6) a PFI's level of excess risk-based capital relative to the required risk-based capital charge associated with the PFI's CEcredit enhancement obligations (CE obligation) on MPF mortgage loans. In an effort to manage the level of mortgage loans on our books, management has researched and continues to review options including participating loan volume (as described below) or selling whole loans to other FHLBanks, members or other ~~investors. As described below, we have pursued participations and, although~~investors if needed. Although we may determine to sell whole loans from time to time, we have not identified any specific loans to be sold as of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017.~~2019.

Historically, we have used the MPF Xtra product and mortgage loan participations with another FHLBank to effectively restrict the growth in mortgage loans held for portfolio and provide management with adequate means to control the amount of mortgage loan portfolio volume retained on our balance sheet to maintain our desired asset composition. The MPF Xtra product is a structure where our PFIs sell mortgage loans to FHLBank of Chicago and simultaneously to Fannie Mae. ~~We also recently began offering an~~ MPF Government MBS is a similar product that ~~similarly~~ allows our PFIs to sell mortgages to FHLBank of Chicago that are pooled into Ginnie Mae securities. ~~Both~~We also offer the MPF Direct product, which provides the PFI the opportunity to sell a jumbo loan under the MPF Program structure to Redwood Trust (i.e., an unaffiliated entity) for securitization. These products are intended to ~~enhance~~further assist our members and their mortgage product needs while enhancing our ability to manage mortgage volumes and receive a counterparty fee from FHLBank of Chicago based on mortgage volumes sold by our PFIs. We have the authority to offer participation interests in risk sharing MPF loan pools to member institutions, which may further enhance our ability to manage the size of our mortgage loan portfolio in the future.

~~The number of approved PFIs was 270 and 274 as of September 30, 2017 and December~~Table 31 2016, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we purchased loans from 179 PFIs with no one PFI accounting for more than 6.8 percent of the total dollar volume purchased. Although there is no guarantee, we anticipate that the number of PFIs delivering loans will increase during 2017 as we continue to educate our members about the improved execution and relative ease of use associated with the MPF Program and the previously discussed reduction in CE obligation available to PFIs. Table 25 presents the outstanding balances of mortgage loans sold to us, net of participations, from our top five PFIs and the percentage of those loans to total mortgage loans outstanding (dollar amounts in thousands). If the member was not one of our top five PFIs for one of the periods presented, the applicable columns are left blank.

Two indications of credit quality are scores provided by Fair Isaac Corporation (FICO^®) and loan-to-value (LTV) ratios. FICO is a widely used credit industry indicator to assess borrower credit quality with scores typically ranging from 300 to 850 with the low end of the scale indicating greater credit risk. The MPF Program requires a minimum FICO score of 620 for all conventional loans. LTV is a primary variable in credit performance. Generally speaking, a higher LTV ratio means greater risk of loss in the event of a default and also means higher loss severity. The weighted average FICO score and LTV recorded at origination for conventional mortgage loans outstanding as of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017~~2019 was 750 and ~~74.1~~74.9 percent, respectively. See Note 6 of the Notes to Financial Statements under Item 1 for additional information regarding credit quality indicators.

Allowance for Credit Losses on Mortgage Loans Held for Portfolio – The ~~slight decrease in the~~ allowance for credit losses asremained relatively unchanged from December 31, 2018 to June 30, 2019. The historical loss rate declined slightly for the period ending June 30, 2019 compared to December 31, 2018 and delinquencies of ~~September 30, 2017 was primarily attributable to a decrease in delinquent~~conventional loans during the first nine months of 2017. We have analyzed the potential impact that damage related to Hurricanes Irma and Harvey might have on mortgage loans held for portfolio. We do not expect that losses resulting from Hurricanes Irma and Harvey will have a material effect on our financial condition or results of operations duetrended higher but remained at low levels relative to the ~~combination~~portfolio, at 0.6 percent of ~~property/flood insurance coverage~~total conventional loans at both June 30, 2019 and borrower equity in the impacted areas. We will continue to evaluate the impact of the hurricanes on our mortgage loans held for portfolio. If additional information becomes available indicating that mortgage loans in any impacted areas have been impaired and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated, we will record appropriate reserves at that time.December 31, 2018. We believe that policies and procedures are in place to effectively manage the credit risk on mortgage loans held in portfolio. See Note 6 of the Notes to Financial Statements under Item 1 for a summary of the allowance for credit losses on mortgage loans, and delinquency aging and key credit quality indicators for our mortgage loan portfolio.

Investments: Investments are used to enhance income and provide liquidity and primary and secondary market support for the U.S. housing securities market. Total investments increased from December 31, ~~2016~~2018 to ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017~~2019, predominantly due to increases in ~~MBS~~the average balances of short-term investments and ~~certificates~~purchases of ~~deposit, partially offset by a decrease~~U.S. Treasury obligations. The majority of the increase and change in ~~money market investments.~~composition of long-term investments was in response to changes to regulatory liquidity requirements that became effective March 31, 2019, including the purchase of $3.0 billion in U.S. Treasury obligations since the third quarter of 2018. The $5.0 billion increase in ~~long-term MBS coincided with the increase in advances~~overnight investments was intended to supplement earnings and ~~mortgage loans, as growth in core mission assets~~offset upcoming maturities while market conditions were favorable. The U.S. Treasury obligations satisfy changes to regulatory liquidity requirements and the corresponding increase in capital allow for growth in non-mission assets while maintaining our desired core mission assets ratio. Consistent with FHFA guidance, we define investment quality as a security with adequate financial backings so that full and timely payment of principal and interest on such security is expected and there is minimal risk that the timely payment of principal and interest would not occur because of adverse changes in economic and financial conditions during the projected life of the security.were swapped to OIS or SOFR.

Short-term Investments – Short-term investments, which are used to provide funds to meet the credit needs of our members, maintain liquidity, ~~and~~ meet other financial obligations such as debt servicing, and enhance income, consist primarily of reverse repurchase agreements, interest-bearing deposits, overnight Federal funds sold, term Federal funds sold, certificates of deposit and commercial paper. The Bank Act and FHFA regulations and guidelines set liquidity requirements for us, and our Board of Directors has adopted additional liquidity policies. In addition, we maintain a contingency liquidity plan in the event of financial market disruptions. See “Risk Management – Liquidity Risk Management” under this Item 2 for a discussion of our liquidity management.

Within our portfolio of short-term investments, we face credit risk from unsecured exposures. Our short-term unsecured credit investments have maturities generally ranging between overnight and three months and include the following types:

Interest-bearing deposits. Unsecured deposits that earn interest.

Federal funds sold. Unsecured loans of reserve balances at the Federal Reserve Banks between financial institutions that are made on either an overnight or term basis.

Commercial paper. Unsecured debt issued by corporations, typically for the financing of accounts receivable, inventories, and meeting short-term liabilities.

Certificates of deposit. Unsecured negotiable promissory notes issued by banks and payable to the bearer at maturity.

Table 2632 presents the carrying value of our unsecured credit exposure with private counterparties by investment type (in thousands). The unsecured investment credit exposure presented may not reflect the average or maximum exposure during the period as the balances presented reflect the balances at period end.

¹	Excludes unsecured investment credit exposure to U.S. government, U.S. government agencies, instrumentalities, GSEs and supranational entities and does not include related accrued interest.

We actively monitor our credit exposures and the credit quality of our counterparties, including an assessment of each counterparty’s financial performance, capital adequacy, sovereign support and the current market perceptions of the counterparties. General macro-economic, political and market conditions may also be considered when deciding on unsecured exposure. As a result, we may further limit existing exposures.

FHFA regulations: (1) include limits on the amount of unsecured credit an individual FHLBank may extend to a counterparty or to a group of affiliated counterparties; (2) permit us to extend additional unsecured credit for overnight extensions of credit, subject to limitations; and (3) prohibit us from investing in financial instruments issued by non-U.S. entities other than those issued by U.S. branches and agency offices of foreign commercial banks. For additional information on our management of unsecured credit exposure, see Item 7 – “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Financial Condition – Investments” in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2016.~~2018. As of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017,~~2019, we were in compliance with all FHFA regulations relating to unsecured credit exposure.

We manage our credit risk by conducting pre-purchase credit due diligence and on-going surveillance described previously and generally investing in unsecured investments of highly-rated counterparties. From time to time, we extend unsecured credit to qualified members by investing in overnight Federal funds issued by them. As of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017,~~2019, all unsecured investments were rated as investment grade based on ~~NRSROs~~Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organizations (NRSRO) (see Table ~~30)~~36).

Table 2733 presents the amount of our unsecured investment credit exposure by remaining contractual maturity and by the domicile of the counterparty or the domicile of the counterparty’s parent for U.S. branches and agency offices of foreign commercial banks as of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017~~2019 (in thousands). We also mitigate the credit risk on investments by generally investing in investments that have short-term maturities.

¹	Excludes unsecured investment credit exposure to U.S. government, U.S. government agencies, instrumentalities, GSEs and supranational entities, and does not include related accrued interest.

Unsecured credit exposure continues to be cautiously ~~placed, with exposure concentrated domestically and in the countries listed in Table 27.~~placed. In addition, we anticipate continued future investment in reverse repurchase agreements, which are secured investments, and limiting unsecured exposure, especially to foreign financial institutions, as long as the interest rates are comparable. To enhance our liquidity position, we classify our unsecured short-term investment securities in our trading portfolio, which allows us to sell these securities if necessary.

Long-term investments – Our long-term investment portfolio consists primarily of MBS and ~~GSE debentures.~~U.S. Treasury obligations. Our Risk Management Policy (RMP) restricts the acquisition of investments to highly rated long-term securities. The majority of these long-term securities are GSE MBS, which provide an alternative means to promote liquidity in the mortgage finance markets while providing acceptable returns. We hold fixed and variable rate GSE debentures in our long-term investment portfolio and we generally swap the fixed rate GSE debentures from fixed to variable rates. They provide attractive returns, can serve as excellent collateral (e.g., repurchase agreements and net derivatives exposure), and are generally classified as trading securities and carried at fair value, either to enhance our liquidity position, for asset/liability management purposes, or to provide a fair value offset to the gains or losses on the interest rate swaps tied to these securities. The interest rate swaps do not qualify for hedge accounting, which results in the net interest payments or receipts on these economic hedges flowing through net ~~gain (loss)~~gains (losses) on derivatives and hedging activities instead of net interest income. During the last half of 2018, we began acquiring fixed rate U.S. Treasury obligations and swapping these securities from fixed to variable rates, as either trading securities that are economically swapped or available-for-sale securities that are swapped in qualifying fair value hedging relationships. In addition to serving as excellent collateral, U.S. Treasuries also satisfy recent changes to regulatory liquidity requirements.

According to FHFA regulation, no additional MBS purchases can be made if the amortized cost of our mortgage securities exceeds 300 percent of our regulatory capital. Further, quarterly increases in holdings of mortgage securities are restricted to no more than 50 percent of regulatory capital. As of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017,~~2019, the amortized cost of our MBS portfolio represented ~~307~~287 percent of our regulatory capital. At times we may exceed the required threshold due to decreases in regulatory capital; however, we were in compliance with the regulatory limit at the time of each purchase during the ~~current quarter.~~quarter ended June 30, 2019.

As of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017,~~2019, we held ~~$4.7~~$3.9 billion of par value in MBS in our held-to-maturity portfolio, ~~$1.4~~$2.4 billion of par value in MBS in our available-for-sale portfolio, and $0.9 billion of par value in MBS in our trading portfolio. The majority of the MBS in the held-to-maturity portfolio are variable rate GSE securities. The majority of the MBS in the trading and available-for-sale portfolios are fixed rate GSE securities, which are swapped from fixed to variable rates.

Major Security Types – Securities for which we have the ability and intent to hold to maturity are classified as held-to-maturity securities and recorded at carrying value, which is the net total of par, premiums, ~~discounts~~ and ~~credit and non-credit OTTI~~ discounts. We classify certain investments as trading or available-for-sale securities and carry them at fair value, generally for liquidity purposes, to provide a fair value offset to the gains (losses) on the interest rate swaps tied to swapped securities, and for asset/liability management purposes. Liquidity or other asset/liability management strategies may require periodic sale of these securities but they are not actively traded with the intent of realizing gains; most often, they are held until maturity or call date. Securities acquired as asset/liability management tools to manage duration risk, which are likely to be sold when the duration risk is no longer present, are classified as trading or available-for-sale securities. Changes in the fair values of investments classified as trading are recorded through other income and original premiums/discounts on these investments are not amortized. ~~We do not actively trade any of these securities with the intent of realizing gains; most often, they are held until maturity or call date.~~

Traditionally, if fixed rate securities were hedged with interest rate swaps, we would classify the securities as trading investments so that the changes in fair values of both the derivatives hedging the securities and the hedged securities are recorded in other income. However, during 2015, we began classifying our newly acquired swapped fixed rate multi-family GSE MBS as available-for-sale and designating the corresponding interest rate swaps as fair value benchmark hedges.

See Note 3 of the Notes to Financial Statements under Item 1 of this quarterly report for additional information on our different investment classifications including ~~what~~the types of securities ~~are~~ held under each classification. The carrying value of our investments is summarized by security type in Table 2834 (in thousands).

Securities Ratings – Tables 3036 and 3137 present the carrying value of our investments by rating as of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017~~2019 and December 31, ~~2016~~2018 (in thousands). The ratings presented are the lowest ratings available for the security or the issuer based on NRSROs, where available. Some counterparties for collateralized overnight borrowing are not rated by an NRSRO because they are not issuers of debt or are otherwise not required to be rated by an NRSRO. We also utilize other credit quality factors when analyzing potential investments including, but not limited to, collateral performance, marketability, asset class or sector considerations, local and regional economic conditions, and/or the financial health of the underlying issuer.

Almost all of our private-label MBS were securitized prior to 2006, and there are no securities in the portfolio issued after April 2006. As a result of this higher quality, well-seasoned portfolio, we have not experienced significant losses in our private-label MBS portfolio from OTTI.

Deposits: Total deposits ~~decreased $48.3~~increased $115.7 million from December 31, ~~2016~~2018 to ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017.~~2019 primarily as a result of an increase in overnight deposits. Deposit products offered primarily include demand and overnight deposits and short-term certificates of deposit. Demand deposit programs are offered primarily to facilitate customer transactions with us, such as cash flows associated with advances and mortgage loan transactions. Overnight deposits provide an alternative short-term investment option to members. The majority of deposits are in overnight or demand accounts that generally re-price daily based upon a market index such as overnight Federal funds. The level of deposits is driven by member demand for deposit products, which in turn is a function of the liquidity position of members. Factors that influence deposit levels include turnover in member investment and loan portfolios, changes in members’ customer deposit balances, changes in members’ demand for liquidity and our deposit pricing as compared to other short-term market rates. Declines in the level of deposits could occur if demand for loans at member institutions increases, if members choose to de-leverage their balance sheets, or if decreases in the general level of liquidity of members should occur. Fluctuations in deposits have little impact on our ability to obtain liquidity. We historically have had stable and ready access to the capital markets through consolidated obligations and can replace any reduction in deposits with ~~similarly~~similarly- or ~~even lower priced~~lower-priced borrowings.

Consolidated Obligations: Consolidated obligations are the joint and several debt obligations of the FHLBanks and consist of bonds and discount notes. Consolidated obligations represent the primary source of liabilities we use to fund advances, mortgage loans and investments. As noted under Item 3 – “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk,” we use debt with a variety of maturities and option characteristics to manage our interest rate risk profile. We make use of derivative transactions, executed in conjunction with specific consolidated obligation debt issues, to synthetically structure funding terms and costs.

Bonds are primarily used to fund longer-term (one year or greater) advances, mortgage loans and investments. To the extent that the bonds are funding variable rate assets, we typically either issue bonds that have variable rates matching the variable rate asset index or utilize an interest rate swap to change the bonds' characteristics in order to match the assets' index. Additionally, we sometimes use fixed rate, variable rate or complex consolidated obligation bonds that are swapped or indexed to LIBOR, SOFR, OIS or U.S. Treasury bills to fund short-term advances and money market investments or as a liquidity risk management tool.

During 2018, we began issuing variable rate bonds indexed to the U.S. Treasury bill rate rather than issuing variable rate bonds indexed to LIBOR and we began swapping fixed rate bonds to OIS rates rather than swapping fixed-rate callable bonds to LIBOR. We did so in an effort to reduce our exposure to LIBOR in general as the market prepares to transition away from LIBOR as a reference rate. We also began participating in SOFR-indexed debt issuances in November 2018 and swapping certain financial instruments to SOFR in the first quarter of 2019 in an effort to manage our exposure to LIBOR assets and liabilities with maturities beyond 2021.

Discount notes are primarily used to fund: (1) shorter-term advances with indices and resets based on our short-term cost of funds; and (2) investments with maturities of three months or less. However, we sometimes use discount notes to fund longer-term assets, including fixed rate assets, variable rate assets, assets swapped to synthetically create variable rate assets, and short-term anticipated cash flows generated by longer-term fixed rate assets. At ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017,~~2019, short-term advances (advances maturing within one year), including line of credit advances, represented ~~75.2~~55.0 percent of discount notes outstanding. We also use discount notes to fund overnight ~~investments (Federal~~Federal funds sold and reverse repurchase ~~agreements)~~agreements to maintain liquidity sufficient to meet the advance needs of members. ~~Overnight~~These investments represented ~~20.1~~23.7 percent of discount notes outstanding as of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017.~~2019.

Total consolidated obligations increased ~~9.1~~$12.1 billion, or 27.2 percent, from December 31, ~~2016~~2018 to ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017.~~2019. The distribution between consolidated obligation bonds and discount notes shifted slightly, from 53.8 percent and 46.2 percent, respectively, at December 31, ~~2016~~2018 to ~~September~~52.1 percent and 47.9 percent at June 30, ~~2017, as discount notes decreased from 51.2 percent of total outstanding consolidated obligations as of December 31, 2016 to 45.9 percent as of September 30, 2017 and~~2019, respectively. The $5.6 billion increase in consolidated obligation bonds ~~increased from 48.8 percent as~~was due primarily to the issuance of ~~December 31, 2016 to 54.1 percent as of September 30, 2017. We increased the allocation~~$4.1 billion of floating rate ~~consolidated obligation~~ bonds ~~with longer-term structures~~indexed to ~~increase liquidity~~SOFR and $4.6 billion of fixed rate bonds, of which $1.6 billion were swapped to OIS, issued in ~~response~~part to ~~uncertainty surrounding the pending Congressional budget resolution and debt ceiling deadline. We~~reduce LIBOR basis risk. Discount notes of a shorter tenor were ~~able~~used to increase the allocation of consolidated obligation bonds due to an improvement in spreads during the last half of 2016 as a result of an increase in the LIBOR swap curve and increased demand for consolidated obligations largely attributed to money market fund reforms. As discussed previously, we were able to replace some maturing and unswapped callable bonds with lower cost bonds during the last half of 2016, which has partially offset the increased cost of debt as a result of the increase in interest rates during 2017. Replacing callable debt generally increases interest costs in the short term due to the acceleration of the unamortized concessions on the called debt because concession costs are amortized to contractual maturity. However, this increase is offset by the lower rate on the new debt and the funding benefit due to the timing differences between the date the debt is called and the forward settlement date of the new debt (conventionally not exceeding 30 days).

short-term investments. While we currently have stable access to funding markets, future developments could impact the cost of replacing outstanding debt. Some of these include, but are not limited to, a large increase in call volume, significant increases in advance demand, legislative and regulatory changes, geopolitical events, proposals addressing GSEs, derivative and financial market reform, a decline in investor demand for consolidated obligations, further rating agency downgrades of U.S. Treasury obligations that will in turn impact the rating on FHLBank consolidated obligations, and changes in Federal Reserve policies and outlooks.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity: We maintain high levels of liquidity to achieve our mission of serving as an economical funding source for our members and housing associates. As part of fulfilling our mission, we also maintain minimum liquidity requirements in accordance with certain FHFA regulations and guidelines and in accordance with policies established by management and the Board of Directors. Our business model enables us to manage the levels of our assets, liabilities, and capital in response to member credit demand, membership composition, and market conditions. As such, assets and liabilities utilized for liquidity purposes can vary significantly in the normal course of business due to the amount and timing of cash flows as a result of these factors.

Sources and Uses of Liquidity – A primary source of our liquidity is the issuance of consolidated obligations. The capital markets traditionally have treated FHLBank obligations as U.S. government agency debt. As a result, even though the U.S. government does not guarantee FHLBank debt, we generally have comparatively stable access to funding at relatively favorable spreads to U.S. Treasury rates. We are primarily and directly liable for our portion of consolidated obligations (i.e., those obligations issued on our behalf). In addition, we are jointly and severally liable with the other FHLBanks for the payment of principal and interest on the consolidated obligations of all FHLBanks.

During the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017,~~2019, proceeds (net of premiums and discounts) from the issuance of bonds and discount notes were ~~$14.3~~$12.1 billion and ~~$701.8~~$454.0 billion, respectively, compared to ~~$14.3~~$7.7 billion and ~~$389.0~~$563.8 billion for the ~~same period in 2016.~~six months ended June 30, 2018. The large ~~increase in~~difference between the ~~issuance of~~proceeds from bonds and discount notes ~~between periods~~ reflects the cumulative effect of using ~~a higher allocation of overnight discount notes during the first nine months of 2017 compared to the first nine months of 2016. We generally use~~ short-term discount notes to fund short-term advances and our short-term liquidity ~~portfolio, but we funded a larger percentage of our assets with discount notes in~~portfolio. During the first half of ~~2016 due to market conditions that increased the cost of consolidated obligation~~2019, we replaced maturing bonds ~~indexed or swapped to LIBOR. During the second~~with longer-term fixed and ~~third quarters of 2017, we began increasing the allocation of longer-term~~ floating rate consolidated obligation bonds to ~~increase liquidity in response~~lengthen the maturity of our liabilities relative to ~~uncertainty surrounding the pending Congressional budget resolution and the debt ceiling deadline.~~our assets. Our other sources of liquidity include deposit inflows, repayments of advances and mortgage loans, maturing investments, interest income, Federal ~~Funds~~funds purchased, and proceeds from reverse repurchase agreements or the sale of unencumbered assets.

~~At September 30, 2017, our~~Our short-term liquidity portfolio, which consists of cash and investments with remaining maturities of one year or less and includes ~~term and overnight~~ Federal funds sold, interest-bearing demand deposits, certificates of deposit, commercial paper, and reverse repurchase agreements, ~~decreased $0.3 billion,~~increased between periods, from ~~$5.9~~$2.6 billion as of December 31, ~~2016~~2018 to ~~$5.6~~$8.5 billion as of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017.~~2019. The increase between periods was relative to the decrease in targeted leverage at the end of the year. The maturities of our short-term investments are structured to provide periodic cash flows to support our ongoing liquidity needs. To enhance our liquidity position, short-term investment securities (i.e., commercial paper and marketable certificates of deposit) are also classified as trading so that they can be readily sold should liquidity be needed immediately.

We also maintain a portfolio of GSE debentures, U.S. Treasury obligations, GSE MBS, and ~~GSE~~Agency MBS that can be pledged as collateral for financing in the securities repurchase agreement market and are classified as trading to enhance our liquidity position. The par value of these debentures and U.S. Treasury obligations was ~~$1.3~~$1.7 billion and ~~$1.5~~$1.2 billion as of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017~~2019 and December 31, ~~2016,~~2018, respectively. ~~We held GSE MBS with a~~The par value of ~~$926.1 million and $940.6 million~~these MBS was $0.9 billion as of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017~~2019 and December 31, ~~2016, respectively.~~2018. We also hold $2.0 billion of U.S. Treasury obligations classified as available-for-sale to satisfy regulatory liquidity requirements that went into effect March 31, 2019. In addition to the balance sheet sources of liquidity discussed previously, we have established lines of credit with numerous counterparties in the Federal funds market as well as with the other FHLBanks. Accordingly, we expect to maintain a sufficient level of liquidity for the foreseeable future.

We strive to manage our average capital ratio to remain above our minimum regulatory and RMP requirements soin an effort to ensure that we have the ability to issue additional consolidated obligations should the need arise. Excess capital capacity ensures we are able to meet the liquidity needs of our members and/or repurchase excess stock either upon the submission of a redemption request by a member or at our discretion for balance sheet or capital management purposes.

Our uses of liquidity primarily include issuing advances, purchasing investments, and repaying called and maturing consolidated obligations for which we are the primary obligor. We also use liquidity to purchase mortgage loans, repay member deposits, pledge collateral to derivative counterparties, redeem or repurchase capital stock, and pay dividends to members.

During the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017,~~2019, advance disbursements totaled ~~$392.3~~$215.2 billion compared to ~~$106.7~~$213.7 billion for the prior year period. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, investment purchases (excluding overnight investments) totaled $5.9 billion compared to $3.3 billion for the same period in ~~2016.~~the prior year. The increase in investment purchases was primarily U.S. Treasury obligations purchased in response to new regulatory liquidity requirements. During the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017, investment purchases (excluding overnight investments) totaled $3.1 billion compared to $2.1 billion for the same period in 2016. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017,~~2019, payments on consolidated obligation bonds and discount notes were ~~$9.9~~$6.6 billion and ~~$702.3~~$447.4 billion, respectively, compared to ~~$15.8~~$5.3 billion and ~~$385.3~~$562.5 billion for the ~~same period in 2016, which includes bonds that were called during the~~prior year period. ~~The large increase in payments on discount notes between periods primarily reflects the cumulative effect of using a higher allocation of overnight discount notes during the first nine months of 2017.~~

Liquidity Requirements – We are subject to ~~five~~the following metrics for measuring required liquidity: statutory, operational, and contingency liquidity, funding gaps, and calendar day guidelines under different scenarios. Statutory liquidity requires us to have an amount equal to current deposits received from members invested in obligations of the United States, deposits in eligible banks or trust companies, and advances with a ~~final~~remaining maturity not exceeding five years. Operational liquidity requires that we maintain liquidity in an amount not less than 20 percent of the sum of our demand and overnight deposits and other overnight borrowings, plus 10 percent of the sum of our term deposits, consolidated obligations, and other borrowings that mature within one year. Contingency liquidity is an amount sufficient to meet our liquidity needs for five business days if we are unable to access the capital markets to issue consolidated obligations. Our net liquidity in excess of contingency liquidity over a cumulative five-business-day period was ~~$10.8~~$11.2 billion as of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017.~~2019. Contingency plans are in place at the FHLBank and the Office of Finance that prioritize the allocation of liquidity resources in the event of financial market disruptions, as well as systemic Federal Reserve wire transfer system disruptions. Further, under the Bank Act, the Secretary of Treasury has the authority, at his discretion, to purchase consolidated obligations up to an aggregate amount of $4.0 billion. No borrowings under this authority have been outstanding since 1977. Funding gaps are defined as the difference between our assets and liabilities scheduled to mature during a specific period stated as a percentage of total assets. We are required to maintain a funding gap of negative 10 percent to negative 20 percent for the three-month horizon and negative 25 percent to negative 35 percent for the one-year horizon. The specific targets within these ranges are dependent on market conditions and determined by our regulator.

In addition to the liquidity measures described above, we are required by the FHFA to meet two daily liquidity standards, each of which assumes that we are unable to access the market for consolidated obligations. The first standard requires us to maintain sufficient funds to meet our obligations for 1520 days under a scenario in which it is assumed that members do not renew any maturing advances. The second standard requires us to maintain sufficient funds to meet our obligations for five days under a scenario in which it is assumed that members renew all maturing advances. We remained in compliance with each of these liquidity requirements ~~throughout~~during the first ~~nine months~~half of ~~2017.~~2019. See “Risk Management - Liquidity Risk Management” under this Item 27 for additional discussion on our liquidity requirements. Effective March 31, 2019, new liquidity guidance required us to maintain sufficient funds to meet our obligations assuming no access to capital markets for an increased period of time, among changes to other liquidity requirements.

In order to help ensure sufficient liquidity, we generally maintain a relatively longer weighted-average maturity on our consolidated obligation discount notes than the weighted average maturity of short-term liquid investment and short-term advance balances. The weighted average remaining days to maturity of discount notes outstanding increased to 3935 days as of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017~~2019 from 3231 days at December 31, ~~2016 as we issued discount notes with an original maturity of approximately one year during the first quarter of 2017 to fund longer term assets, in anticipation of an increase in interest rates.~~2018. The weighted average remaining maturity of our ~~money market~~short-term liquid investment portfolio (Federal funds sold, marketable certificates of deposit, commercial paper, ~~and~~ reverse repurchase ~~agreements)~~agreements, and certain interest-bearing deposits), short-term advances (line of credit and advances with original maturities of 90 days or less), and non-earning cash left in our Federal Reserve Bank account was ~~8 days and~~ 3 days as of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017~~2019 and 2 days as of December 31, ~~2016, respectively, because we held primarily short-term investments with overnight maturities as of those dates.~~2018. The mismatch ofbetween discount notes and our ~~money market~~short-term liquid investment ~~portfolio~~and short-term advance portfolios increased from 29 days on December 31, ~~2016~~2018 to 3132 days on ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017~~2019 as a result of the ~~increase~~decrease in the weighted average remaining days to maturity of ~~our~~ discount notes. Over time, especially as the yield curve steepens on the short end, maintaining the differential between the weighted average original maturity of discount notes and ~~money market~~short-term liquid investments will increase our cost of funds and reduce our net interest income.

Capital: Total capital consists of capital stock, retained earnings, and AOCI.

Capital stock outstanding increased ~~19.6~~4.9 percent from December 31, ~~2016~~2018 to ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017, primarily~~2019 (see Table 39) due to ~~increased utilization of advances. Under our capital plan, members must purchase additional~~an increase in activity-based stock ~~as they enter into advance transactions with us. The amount~~ required ~~is subject to change within ranges established under our capital plan.~~from the correlating increase in advances between periods.

Excess stock represents the amount of stock held by a member in excess of that institution’s minimum stock requirement. Upon reducing the activity-based stock purchase requirement, through a mandated change or through a reduction of advance balances, excess stock is created since the member is no longer required under our capital plan to hold the same amount of activity-based capital stock. If our excess stock exceeds ~~1.0~~one percent of our assets before or after the payment of a dividend in the form of stock, we would be prohibited by FHFA regulation from paying dividends in the form of stock. To manage the amount of excess stock, we repurchase excess Class A Common Stock over FHLBank-established limits held by any individual member periodically throughout the year. Our current practices include repurchasing all outstanding excess Class A Common Stock, generally on a monthly basis, and ~~regular weekly exchanges of~~exchanging all excess Class B Common Stock over ~~$50,000~~$50 thousand per member for Class A Common ~~Stock.~~Stock on a regular basis. Such exchanges occurred on a weekly basis until February 2019, when we began to conduct such exchanges on a daily basis.

Under our cooperatively structured capital plan, our capital stock balances should fluctuate along with any growth (increased capital stock balances) or reduction (decreased capital stock balances) in advance balances in future periods. Any repurchase of excess capital stock is at our discretion and subject to statutory and regulatory limitations, including being in compliance with all of our regulatory capital requirements after any such discretionary repurchase.

Our activity-based stock purchase requirements are consistent with our cooperative structure; members’ stock ownership requirements and the dollar amount of dividends paid to members generally increases as their activities with us increase. To the extent that a member’s asset-based stock purchase requirement is insufficient to cover the member’s activity-based stock purchase requirement, ~~and~~ the member is required to purchase Class B Common ~~Stock, we~~Stock. We believe the value of our products and services is enhanced by dividend yields that exceed the return available from other investments with similar terms and credit quality. Factors that affect members’ willingness to enter into activity with us and purchase additional required activity-based stock include, but are not limited to, our dividend rates, the risk-based capital weighting of our capital stock, and alternative investment or borrowing opportunities available to our members.

²	Includes mandatorily redeemable capital stock.


³	Advances to housing associates have no activity-based requirements because housing associates cannot own FHLBank stock.


⁴	Non-members are subject to the AMA activity-based stock requirement as long as there are UPBs outstanding, but the requirement is currently zero percent for members.

We are subject to three capital requirements under provisions of the GLB Act, the FHFA’s capital structure regulation and our current capital plan, which includes risk-based capital requirement, total capital requirement and leverage capital requirement. We have been in compliance with each of the aforementioned capital rules and requirements at all times since the implementation of our capital plan. See Note 11 of the Notes to Financial Statements under Item 1 for additional information and compliance as of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017~~2019 and December 31, ~~2016.~~2018.

Capital Distributions: Dividends may be paid in cash or capital stock as authorized by our Board of Directors. Quarterly dividends can be paid out of current and previous unrestricted retained earnings, subject to FHFA regulation and our capital plan.

Within our capital plan, we have the ability to pay different dividend rates to the holders of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock. This differential is implemented through a methodology referred to as the dividend parity threshold. Holders of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock share in dividends equally up to the dividend parity threshold for a dividend period, then the dividend rate for holders of Class B Common Stock can exceed the rate for holders of Class A Common Stock, but the dividend rate on Class A Common Stock can never exceed the dividend rate on Class B Common Stock. In essence, the dividend parity threshold: (1) serves as a soft floor to holders of Class A Common Stock since we must pay holders of Class A Common Stock the dividend parity threshold rate before paying a higher rate to holders of Class B Common Stock; (2) indicates a potential dividend rate to holders of Class A Common Stock so that they can make decisions as to whether or not to hold excess Class A Common Stock; and (3) provides us with a tool to manage the amount of excess stock through higher or lower dividend rates by varying the desirability of holding excess shares of Class A Common Stock (i.e., the lower the dividend rate on Class A Common Stock, the less desirable it is to hold excess Class A Common Stock).

The current dividend parity threshold is equal to the average effective overnight Federal funds rate for a dividend period minus 100 basis ~~points. This dividend parity threshold~~points and was effective for all dividends paid ~~for all of 2016~~in 2018 and ~~2017 and will continue to be effective until such time as it may be changed by our Board of Directors.~~2019. The dividend parity threshold is effectively floored at zero percent when the current overnight Federal funds target rate is less than one percent. Under the capital plan, all dividends paid in the form of capital stock must be paid in the form of Class B Common Stock. Table 3640 presents the dividend rates per annum paid on capital stock under our capital plan for the periods indicated:

While there is no assurance that our Board of Directors will not change the dividend parity threshold in the future, the capital plan requires that we provide members with 90 days' notice prior to the end of a dividend period in which a different dividend parity threshold is utilized in the payment of a dividend.

We expect to continue paying dividends primarily in the form of capital stock, ~~in 2017,~~ but future dividends may be paid in cash. The payment of cash dividends instead of stock dividends should not have a significant impact from a liquidity perspective, as the subsequent redemption of excess stock created by stock dividends would utilize liquidity resources in the same manner as a cash dividend.

Risk Management

Active risk management continues to be an essential part of our operations and a key determinant of our ability to maintain earnings to return an acceptable dividend to our members and meet retained earnings thresholds. We maintain an enterprise risk management (ERM) program in an effort to enable the identification of all significant risks to the organization and institute the prompt and effective management of any major risk exposures. Our ERM program is a structured and disciplined approach that aligns strategy, processes, people, technology and knowledge with the purpose of identifying, evaluating and managing the uncertainties we face as we create value. It is a continuous process of identifying, prioritizing, assessing and managing inherent enterprise risks (i.e., business, compliance, credit, liquidity, market and operations) before they become realized risk events. See Item 7 – “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Risk Management” in our Form 10-K for more information on our ERM program. A separate discussion of market risk is included under Item 3 – “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” of this Form 10-Q.

Credit Risk Management: Credit risk is defined as the potential that a borrower or counterparty will fail to meet its financial obligations in accordance with agreed terms. We manage credit risk by following established policies, evaluating the creditworthiness of our counterparties, and utilizing collateral agreements and settlement netting for derivative transactions where enforceability of the legal right of offset has been determined. The most important step in the management of credit risk is the initial decision to extend credit. Continuous monitoring of counterparties is completed for all areas where we are exposed to credit risk, whether that is through lending, investing or derivative activities.

Lending and AMA Activities – Credit risk with members arises largely as a result of our lending and AMA activities (members’ CE obligations on conventional mortgage loans that we acquire through the MPF Program). We manage our exposure to credit risk on advances, letters of credit, ~~derivatives,~~ and members’ CE obligations on conventional mortgage loans through a combined approach that provides ongoing review of the financial condition of our members coupled with prudent collateralization.

As provided in the Bank Act, a member’s investment in our capital stock is held as additional collateral for the member’s advances and other credit obligations (letters of credit, CE obligations, etc.). In addition, we can call for additional collateral or substitute collateral during the life of an advance or other credit obligation to protect our security interest.

Credit risk arising from AMA activities under our MPF Program falls into three categories: (1) the risk of credit losses on the mortgage loans represented in our First Loss Account (FLA) and last loss positions; (2) the risk that a PFI will not perform as promised with respect to its loss position provided through its CE obligations on conventional mortgage loan pools, which are covered by the same collateral arrangements as those described for advances; and (3) the risk that a third-party insurer (obligated under ~~private~~primary mortgage insurance (PMI) or supplemental mortgage insurance (SMI) arrangements) will fail to perform as expected. Should a PMI third-party insurer fail to perform, it would increase our credit risk exposure because our FLA is the next layer to absorb credit losses on conventional mortgage loan pools. Likewise, if an SMI third-party insurer fails to perform, it would increase our credit risk exposure because it would reduce the participating member’s CE obligation loss layer since SMI is purchased by PFIs to cover all or a portion of their CE obligation exposure for mortgage ~~pools.~~pools under certain MPF Program products. Credit risk exposure to third-party insurers to which we have PMI and/or SMI exposure is monitored on a monthly basis and regularly reported to the Board of Directors. We perform credit analysis of third-party PMI and SMI insurers on at least ~~an annual~~a semi-annual basis. On a monthly basis, we review trends that could identify risks with our mortgage loan portfolio, including low FICO scores and high LTV ratios. Based on the credit underwriting standards under the MPF Program and this monthly review, we have concluded that the mortgage loans we hold would not be considered subprime.

Investments – Our RMP restricts the acquisition of investments to high-quality, short-term money market instruments and highly rated long-term securities. The short-term investment portfolio represents unsecured credit and reverse repurchase agreements. Counterparty ratings are monitored daily while performance and capital adequacy are monitored on a monthly basis in an effort to mitigate unsecured credit risk on our short-term investments. Collateral eligibility and transaction margin requirements on our reverse repurchase agreements are monitored daily. U.S. Treasury obligations and MBS securitized by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac represent the majority of our long-term investments. ~~We hold~~Other long-term investments include MBS issued by Ginnie Mae, and GSEs, and private-label MBS rated triple-A at the time of purchase. Most of our MBS portfolio is securitized by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. All of our private-label MBS have been downgraded below triple-A subsequent to purchase (see Table 34), but the downgraded securities have been and are currently paying according to contractual agreements with the exception of seven securities that have experienced immaterial cash flow shortfalls. Other long-term investments include unsecured GSE debentures and collateralized state and local housing finance agency securities that were rated at least double-A at the time of purchase.

Derivatives – We transact most of our derivatives with large banks and major broker-dealers. Over-the-counter derivative transactions may be either executed with a counterparty (uncleared derivatives) or with an executing broker and cleared through a Futures Commission Merchant (i.e., clearing agent) that acts on our behalf to clear and settle derivative transactions through a ~~Derivatives Clearing Organization~~Clearinghouse (cleared derivatives).

We are subject to credit risk due to the risk of nonperformance by counterparties to our derivative transactions. The amount of credit risk on derivatives depends on the extent to which netting procedures and collateral requirements are used and are effective in mitigating the risk. We manage this risk through credit analysis and collateral management. We are also required to follow the requirements set forth by applicable regulation.

Uncleared Derivatives. We are subject to non-performance by the counterparties to our uncleared derivative transactions. ~~We recently entered into updated~~All bilateral security agreements with our non-member counterparties ~~with~~include bilateral-collateral-exchange provisions that require all credit exposures be collateralized, ~~regardless of credit rating,~~ subject to a minimum transfer amount. Previously, some of our uncleared derivative instruments contained provisions that required the counterparty to deliver additional collateral to us if there was deterioration in that counterparty’s credit rating. As a result of these risk mitigation practices, we do not anticipate any credit losses on our uncleared derivative transactions as of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017.~~2019.

Cleared Derivatives. We are subject to nonperformance by the Clearinghouse(s) and clearing agent(s). The requirement that we post initial and variation margin, through the clearing agent, to the Clearinghouse, exposes us to institutional credit risk if the clearing agent or the Clearinghouse fails to meet its obligations. The use of cleared derivatives is intended to mitigate credit risk exposure because a central counterparty is substituted for individual counterparties and collateral and/or payments are posted daily for changes in the value of cleared derivatives through a clearing agent. We do not anticipate any credit losses on our cleared derivatives as of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017.~~2019.

We regularly monitor the exposures on our derivative transactions by determining the market value of positions using internal pricing models. The market values generated by the pricing model used to value derivatives are compared to dealer model results on a monthly basis to ensure that our derivative pricing model is reasonably calibrated to actual market pricing methodologies utilized by the dealers. In addition, we have our internal pricing model validated annually by an independent consultant. As a result of these risk mitigation initiatives, management does not anticipate any credit losses on our derivative transactions. See Note 7 of the Notes to Financial Statements under Item 1 for additional information on managing credit risk on derivatives.

The contractual or notional amount of derivative transactions reflects our involvement in the various classes of financial instruments. The maximum credit risk with respect to derivative transactions is the estimated cost of replacing the derivative transactions if there are defaults, minus the value of any related collateral posted to satisfy the initial margin (if required) ~~and the variation margin.~~. Our derivative transactions are subject to variation margin which is derived from the change in market value of the transaction and must be posted by the net debtor on demand. Cleared transactions are subject to initial margin as well as variation margin. The initial margin is intended to protect the Clearinghouse ~~against default of a clearing agent and to protect the clearing agent~~ against default of a customer. Initial margin is calculated to cover the potential price volatility of the derivative transaction between the time of the default and the assignment of the transaction to another clearing agent or termination of the transaction. Although the initial margin requirement should decrease over time as the duration and market volatility decrease, it remains outstanding for the life of the transaction; thus, it is possible that we could either have: (1) net credit exposure with a Clearinghouse even if our net creditor position has been fully satisfied by the receipt of variation margin; or (2) net credit exposure with a Clearinghouse despite being the net debtor (i.e., being in a liability position). In determining maximum credit risk, we consider accrued interest receivables and payables as well as the netting requirements to net assets and liabilities.

Tables 3741 and 3842 present derivative notional amounts and counterparty credit exposure by whole-letter rating (in the event of a split rating, we use the lowest rating published by ~~Moody's~~Moody’s Investor Service (Moody's) or Standard ~~and Poor's)~~& Poor’s (S&P)) for derivative positions with counterparties to which we had credit exposure (in thousands):

Foreign Counterparty Risk – Loans, acceptances, interest-bearing deposits with other banks, other interest-bearing investments and any other monetary assets payable to us by entities of foreign countries, regardless of the currency in which the claim is denominated are referred to as "cross-border outstandings." Our cross-border outstandings consist primarily of short-term trading securities and Federal funds sold issued by banks and other financial institutions, which are non-sovereign entities, and derivative asset exposure with counterparties that are also non-sovereign entities. Secured reverse repurchase agreements outstanding are excluded from cross-border outstandings because they are fully collateralized.

In addition to credit risk, cross-border outstandings have the risk that, as a result of political or economic conditions in a country, borrowers may be unable to meet their contractual repayment obligations of principal and/or interest when due because of the unavailability of, or restrictions on, foreign exchange needed by borrowers to repay their obligations. We continue to cautiously place unsecured cross-border outstandings.

Liquidity Risk Management: Maintaining the ability to meet our obligations as they come due and to meet the credit needs of our members and housing associates in a timely and cost-efficient manner is the primary objective of managing liquidity risk. We seek to be in a position to meet the credit needs of our members, as well as our debt service and liquidity needs, without maintaining excessive holdings of low-yielding liquid investments or being forced to incur unnecessarily high borrowing costs.

~~Operational~~We manage liquidity, ~~or the ability~~first and foremost, to meet ~~operational requirements in~~ the ~~normal course~~needs of ~~business, is currently defined in our RMP as sources of cash from both our ongoing access~~members, while adhering to ~~the capital markets~~statutory and ~~our holding of liquid assets.~~contingency liquidity requirements. We ~~manage exposure to operational liquidity risk by maintaining appropriate~~maintain daily liquidity levels above the thresholds established by our RMP. We are also required to manage liquidity in order to meet statutory and contingency liquidity requirements and FHFA liquidity guidelines by maintaining a daily liquidity level above certain thresholds ~~also~~and consider hypothetical adverse scenarios. These thresholds are outlined in ~~the RMP,~~our internal policies and comply with federal statutes, FHFA regulations and other FHFA guidance not issued in the form of regulations. We remained in compliance with each of these liquidity requirements throughout the ~~third~~second quarter of ~~2017.~~2019.

We are focused on maintaining a liquidity and funding balance between our financial assets and financial liabilities. Within the FHLBank System guidelines, each FHLBank develops its own metrics and milestones for enhancing its liquidity risk management practices. However, the FHLBanks work collectively to manage the system-wide liquidity and funding management and jointly monitor the combined refinancing risk. In managing and monitoring the amounts of assets that require refunding, we may consider contractual maturities of the financial assets, as well as certain assumptions regarding expected cash flows (i.e., estimated prepayments and scheduled amortizations). See the Notes to the Financial Statements under Item 1 for more detailed information regarding contractual maturities of certain of our financial assets and liabilities.

We generally maintained stable access to the capital markets for the quarter ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017.~~2019. For additional discussion of the market for our consolidated obligations and the overall market affecting liquidity, see “Financial Market Trends” under this Item 2.

Our derivative instruments contain provisions that require all credit exposures be collateralized. See Note 7 of the Notes to Financial Statements under Item 1 for additional information on collateral posting requirements.

Legislative and Regulatory Developments

~~Information Security Management~~FHFA Advisory ~~Bulletin.~~Bulletin 2019-01 Business Resiliency Management. On ~~September 28, 2017,~~May 7, 2019, the FHFA issued an Advisory Bulletin ~~effective upon issuance,~~on Business Resiliency Management for FHLBanks and other entities regulated by the FHFA (the Business Resiliency AB) that ~~supersedes previous~~communicates the FHFA’s expectations with respect to minimizing the impact of disruptions in service from uncontrolled events and the maintenance of business operations at predefined levels. The Business Resiliency AB rescinds the FHFA’s 2002 disaster recovery guidance. The guidance states that a business resiliency program should guide the regulated entity to respond appropriately to disruptions affecting business operations, personnel, equipment, facilities, information technology systems, and information assets. The Business Resiliency AB provides guidance on ~~an FHLBank’s information security program. The Advisory Bulletin describes three main components~~the elements of ~~an information security~~a safe and sound business resiliency program, which include governance, risk assessment and provides the expectation that each FHLBank will use a risk-based approach to implement its information security program. The Advisory Bulletin contains expectations related to: (1) governance, including guidance related to rolesbusiness impact analysis, risk mitigation and ~~responsibilities,~~plan development, testing and analysis, and risk ~~assessments, industry standards,~~monitoring and cyber-insurance; (2) engineering and architecture, including guidance on network security, software security, and security of endpoints; and (3) 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.program sustainability.

We do not expect ~~this advisory bulletin~~the Business Resiliency AB to ~~materially affect~~have a material effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

~~Minority and Women Inclusion.~~U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) Advisory on Initial Margin Documentation Requirements. On July ~~25, 2017,~~9, 2019, the ~~FHFA published a final rule, effective August 24, 2017, amending~~CFTC issued an advisory (the Advisory) on its ~~Minority~~Margin Requirements for Uncleared Swaps for Swap Dealers and ~~Women Inclusion regulations~~Major Swap Participants (the Margin Rules), to clarify that documentation governing the ~~scope~~posting, collection, and custody of initial margin is not required to be completed until such time as the ~~FHLBanks’ obligation~~initial margin amount exceeds $50 million. The Margin Rules provide that covered swap entities under the Margin Rules, or non-prudentially regulated swap dealers, are required to ~~promote diversity~~post and ~~ensure inclusion.~~collect initial margin with counterparties that are swap dealers or financial end users with material swap exposure, as defined under the rule. The ~~final rule updates the existing FHFA regulations aimed at promoting diversity~~Margin Rules contain, however, an initial margin threshold amount of $50 million between a covered swap entity and the inclusion and use of minorities, women, and individuals with disabilities, and the businesses they own (MWDOB) in all FHLBank business and activities, including management, employment, and contracting.its counterparty, on a counterparty-by-counterparty basis. The ~~final rule will:~~

require the FHLBanks to develop standalone diversity and inclusion strategic plans or incorporate diversity and inclusion into their existing strategic planning processes and adopt strategies for promoting diversity and ensuring inclusion;

~~encourage the FHLBanks to expand contracting opportunities for minorities, women, and individuals with disabilities through subcontracting arrangements;~~

~~require the FHLBanks to develop policies~~Advisory clarifies that ~~address reasonable accommodations for employees to observe their religious beliefs;~~

~~require the FHLBanks to amend their policies on equal opportunity in employment by adding sexual orientation, gender identity, and status as a parent to the list of protected classifications;~~

require the FHLBanks to provide information in their annual reports to the FHFA about their efforts to advance diversity and inclusion through financial transactions, identification of ways in which FHLBanks might be able to improve MWDOB business with the FHLBank by enhancing customer access by MWDOB businesses, including through its affordable housing and community investment programs and strategies for promoting the diversity of supervisors and managers; and

~~require the FHLBanks to classify and provide additional data in their annual reports about the number of and amounts paid under its contracts with MWDOB.~~

~~We do not expect this final rule to materially affect our financial condition or results of operations, but anticipate that it may result in increased compliance costs and substantially increase~~no initial margin documentation is required until the amount of ~~tracking,~~initial margin exchangeable between a covered swap entity and its counterparty exceeds the initial margin threshold amount of $50 million. The Advisory does, however, instruct covered swap entities to closely monitor initial margin amounts if they are approaching the $50 million initial margin threshold with a counterparty and to take appropriate steps to ensure that the required documentation is in place at such time as the threshold is reached. We are closely monitoring our initial margin thresholds on a counterparty-by-counterparty basis and ~~reporting that would be required.~~

~~FHLBank Capital Requirements.~~ ~~On July 3, 2017,~~are evaluating the ~~FHFA published a proposed rule to adopt, with amendments, the regulations~~impact of the Federal Housing Finance Board (predecessor to the FHFA) pertaining to the capital requirements for the FHLBanks. The proposed rule would carry over most of the existing regulations without material change but would substantively revise the credit risk component of the risk-based capital requirement, as well as the limitationsAdvisory on extensions of unsecured credit. 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, 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, to align with the Dodd-Frank Act’s clearing mandate. The proposed rule also would revise the percentages used in the regulation’s tables to calculate credit risk capital charges for advances and for non-mortgage assets. The FHFA proposes to retain, for now, the percentages used in the tables to calculate capital charges for mortgage-related assets, and to address the methodology for residential mortgage assets at a later date. While a March 2009 regulatory directive pertaining to certain liquidity matters will continue to remain in place, the FHFA also proposes to rescind certain minimum regulatory liquidity requirements for the FHLBanks and address these liquidity requirements in a separate rulemaking.our documentation requirements.

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

~~FHLBank Membership for Non-Federally-Insured Credit Unions.~~ On June 5, 2017, the FHFA issued a final rule effective July 5, 2017 governing FHLBank membership that would implement statutory amendments to the Bank Act authorizing FHLBanks to accept applications for membership from state-chartered credit unions without federal share insurance, provided that certain prerequisites have been met. The new rule generally treats these credit unions the same as other depository institutions with an additional requirement that they obtain: (1) an affirmative statement from their state regulator that they meet the requirements for federal insurance as of the date of their application for FHLBank membership; (2) a written statement from the state regulator that it cannot or will not make any determination regarding eligibility for federal insurance; or (3) if the regulator fails or refuses to respond to the credit union’s request within six months, confirmation of the failure to receive a response.

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

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

Although we are not a covered entity under these rules, as a counterparty to covered entities under QFCs, we may be required to amend QFCs entered into with FRB-regulated GSIBs or applicable FDIC-supervised institutions. We do not expect these final rules to materially affect our financial condition or results of operations.

Item 3: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Interest Rate Risk Management

We measure interest rate risk exposure by various methods, including the calculation of duration of equity (DOE) and market value of equity (MVE) in different interest rate scenarios.

Duration of Equity: DOE aggregates the estimated sensitivity of market value for each of our financial assets and liabilities to changes in interest rates. In essence, DOE indicates the sensitivity of MVE to changes in interest rates. However, MVE should not be considered indicative of our market value as a going concern or our value in a liquidation scenario. A positive DOE results when the duration of assets and designated derivatives is greater than the duration of liabilities and designated derivatives. A positive DOE generally indicates a degree of interest rate risk exposure in a rising interest rate environment. A negative DOE indicates a degree of interest rate risk exposure in a declining interest rate environment. Higher DOE numbers, whether positive or negative, indicate greater volatility of MVE in response to changing interest rates.

We manage DOE within ranges approved by our Board of Directors as described under Item 7A - "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk" in the annual report on Form 10-K, incorporated by reference herein. All our DOE measurements were in compliance with Board of Director established policy limits and operating ranges as of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017.~~2019. On an ongoing basis, we actively monitor portfolio relationships and overall DOE dynamics as a part of our evaluation processes for determining acceptable future asset/liability management actions. Table 4044 presents the DOE in the base case and the up and down 200 basis point interest rate shock scenarios as of the periods noted:

The DOE as of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017~~2019 increased ~~(became more negative)~~ in the base scenario and ~~increased~~decreased in the up and down 200 basis point shock scenarios from ~~June 30, 2017.~~March 31, 2019. The primary factors contributing to these changes in duration during the period were: (1) the ~~slight increase~~decrease in long-term interest rates and the relative level of mortgage rates during the period; (2) ~~the~~a slight ~~increase in the fixed rate mortgage loan portfolio during the period along with an~~ increase in the weighting of the mortgage loan portfolio as a percent of total ~~assets;~~assets during the period; and (3) asset/liability actions taken by management throughout the period, including the continued ~~call and re-issuance~~issuance of long-term, unswapped callable consolidated obligation bonds with relatively short lock-out periods, and the continued issuance of discount notes to fund ~~the growth~~changes in ~~advances.~~advance balances.

The ~~increase~~decrease in long-term interest rates during the ~~third~~second quarter of ~~2017~~2019 generally indicates a ~~lengthening~~shortening duration profile for both the fixed rate mortgage loan portfolio and the associated unswapped callable consolidated obligation bonds funding these assets. ~~With the slight~~The increase in our mortgage loan portfolio during the period, as discussed in Item 2 – “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Financial Condition – MPF Program,” caused the portfolio ~~increased~~to increase slightly as an overall percentage of assets as ~~expected and as~~ the balance sheet ~~contracted,~~expanded, increasing from ~~13.7~~15.1 percent of total assets as of ~~June 30, 2017~~March 31, 2019 to ~~14.3~~15.3 percent as of ~~September~~June 30, 2017. With this weighting increase, the mortgage loan portfolio continues to represent a sizable portion of the balance sheet, and changes occurring with this portfolio tend to be magnified in terms of DOE.2019. Since the mortgage loan portfolio continues to comprise a considerable percentage of overall assets and has such a ~~high~~sizable duration relative to our other assets, its behavior is quite visible in the duration risk profile and changes in this portfolio are typically magnified as the composition of assets changes. This magnification occurs when a portfolio market value weighting as a percent of the overall net market value of the balance sheet changes, causing the remaining portfolios to be a smaller or larger component of the total balance sheet composition. For example, if advance balances decrease during a given period, this decrease will cause the mortgage loan portfolio weighting to increase as a total proportion of total assets. Further, if interest rates decrease, the market value gains in the mortgage loan portfolio will cause the mortgage loan portfolio to further increase its sizable percentage of overall market value of assets. This increase in market value of assets will cause the duration for this portfolio to have a greater impact on DOE. In other words, this relationship causes the duration of the mortgage loan portfolio to have a larger contribution impact to the overall DOE since DOE is a market value weighted measurement. With these balance sheet dynamics, we continue to actively manage and monitor the contributing factors of our risk profile, including DOE. As the relationship of the fixed rate mortgage loan assets and the associated callable liabilities vary based on market conditions, we evaluate and manage these market driven sensitivities as both portfolios change in balance level and overall proportion.

New loans were continually added to the mortgage loan portfolio to replace loans that were prepaid during the period and we continue to actively manage this ongoing growth to position the balance sheet sensitivity to perform within our expected risk tolerances. To effectively manage these changes in the mortgage loan portfolio (including new production loans) and related sensitivity to changes in market conditions, awe continued ~~issuance of~~to issue unswapped callable consolidated obligation bonds with relatively long maturities and short lock-out periods (generally three ~~months) positioned us~~months to ~~also replace called bonds as the interest rate environment continued to remain at historically low levels.~~one year). The ~~new~~ issuance ~~and call~~ of ~~higher rate~~ callable bonds and reissuance of ~~these~~new callable bonds to replace called bonds at lower interest rates ~~in this manner~~as rates declined during the period, generally extends the duration profile of this ~~portfolio as bonds are called that are in-the-money (above market rates) and subsequently reissued at lower interest rates (at market rates).~~portfolio. This liability extension corresponds with the expected longer duration profile of the new fixed rate mortgage loans, all else being equal.

As discussed above, while long-term interest rates increased based on period-end dates, interest rates continued to remain historically low throughout the quarter and as we continued to experience prepayments of the fixed rate mortgage loan portfolio, the short lock-out periods of the callable bonds plus some maturities of non-callable bonds provided the opportunity to continue the refinancing of our liabilities. The slight increase in long-term interest rates during the period also caused the duration profile of the existing portfolio of unswapped callable bonds to lengthen slightly. This liability lengthening demonstrates the specific duration sensitivity to changes in interest rates at certain shock scenarios where the unswapped callable bonds are more or less sensitive to certain levels of increasing interest rates, causing the overall DOE to increase or decrease, similar to the factors causing the changes in DOE for all interest rate shock scenarios. This sensitivity, or convexity, is further described under Item 7A – "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk" in the annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2016.~~ 2018.

In addition, the relative level of mortgage rates generally contributes significantly to the sensitivity of the fixed rate mortgage loan portfolio causing the duration profile to lengthen or shorten based on the relationship between interest rates, mortgage rates and associated mortgage spreads. For instance, the decrease in interest rates during the period caused the mortgage loan portfolio duration to shorten slightly more than the associated liabilities, leading to a liability sensitive DOE profile in the base interest rate scenario and less asset sensitive DOE profile in the up and down 200 basis point shock interest rate scenarios. Further, issuance of discount notes continued in order to provide adequate liquidity sources to appropriately address changes in customer short-term advance ~~growth~~balances and associated capital stock activity during the period. The combination of all these factors contributed to the net DOE changes in all interest rate shock scenarios, where the DOE increased ~~(became more negative)~~ in the base scenario and ~~increased~~decreased in the up and down 200 basis point shock scenarios. The down shock scenario continues to provide limited information since interest rates remain at historically low levels. This low interest rate environment essentially generates at or near zero interest rates for the short- and mid-term interest rates along the down 200 shocked term structure of interest rates, causing valuation changes to be limited, generating DOE results with marginal information.

With respect to the variable rate GSE MBS portfolio, we generally purchase interest rate caps to offset the impact of embedded caps in this portfolio in rising interest rate scenarios. As expected, these interest rate caps are a satisfactory interest rate risk hedge to rising interest rates and provide an off-setting risk response to the risk profile changes in variable rate GSE MBS with embedded caps. We periodically assess derivative strategies to ensure that overall balance sheet risk is appropriately hedged within established risk appetite metrics and make adjustments to the derivative portfolio as needed. This evaluation is completed considering not only the par value of the variable rate MBS with embedded caps being hedged with purchased caps, but the composition of the purchased cap portfolio and expected prepayments of the variable rate MBS with embedded caps. This evaluation of the relative relationship between the variable rate investment portfolio and the purchased cap portfolio continues to indicate a sufficient hedging relationship. During the quarter ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017,~~2019, we ~~purchased $45.8 million~~had no additional purchases of variable rate ~~multi-family~~single-family GSE MBS. ~~However, we~~We also did not purchase additional interest rate caps during the ~~third~~second quarter of ~~2017 because the investments did not contain~~2019 based on current interest rate cap exposure. In addition, we purchased $234.8 million fixed rate multi-family GSE MBS during the current quarter. These fixed rate securities were effectively swapped to LIBOR and impacted DOE only slightly since they are reflected as variable rate instruments and are further described in Item 2 – "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Results of Operations – Net Gain (Loss) on Trading Securities."

In calculating DOE, we also calculate our duration gap, which is the difference between the duration of our assets and the duration of our liabilities. Our base duration gap was ~~-0.6 months for September 30, 2017 and -0.3~~-0.2 months for June 30, ~~2017.~~2019 and 0.0 months for March 31, 2019. As discussed previously, the ~~relatively stable~~ performance was primarily the result of the changes in the fixed rate mortgage loan portfolio and the associated funding decisions made by management in response to changes in the interest rate environment and balance sheet during the ~~third~~second quarter of ~~2017.~~2019. All FHLBanks are required to submit this base duration gap number to the Office of Finance as part of the quarterly reporting process created by the FHFA.

Market Value of Equity: MVE is the net value of our assets and liabilities. Estimating sensitivity of MVE to changes in interest rates is another measure of interest rate risk. We generally maintain an MVE within limits specified by the Board of Directors in the RMP. The RMP measures our market value risk in terms of the MVE in relation to total regulatory capital stock outstanding (TRCS). TRCS includes all capital stock outstanding, including stock subject to mandatory redemption. As a cooperative, we believe using the TRCS results inis an appropriate measure because it reflects our market value relative to the book value of our capital stock. Our RMP stipulates MVE shall not be less than: (1) 100 percent of TRCS under the base case scenario; or (2) 90 percent of TRCS under a ±200 basis point instantaneous parallel shock in interest rates. Table 4145 presents MVE as a percent of TRCS. As of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017~~2019, all scenarios are well above the specified limits and much of the relative level in the ratios during the periods covered by the table can be attributed to the relative level of the fixed rate mortgage loan market values as rates have continued to remain historically low ~~the general value impact of the refinancing activities of the associated unswapped callable consolidated obligation bonds and~~along with the relative level of outstanding capital.

The MVE to TRCS ratios can be greatly impacted by the level of capital outstanding based on our capital management approach. Typically, as advances increase and the associated capital level increases, the ratio will generally decline since the new advances are primarily short-term with market values at or near par. ~~Further,~~Conversely, as advance balances decrease and the capital level decreases as capital stock is repurchased, the ratio will generally increase. However, if excess capital stock is not repurchased, the capital level remains higher thereby causing a decrease in the ratio. The relative level of advance balances, required stock and excess stock as of June 30, 2019 (see Table 39 under Item 2 – “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Liquidity and Capital Resources - Capital”) contributed to the lower MVE as of June 30, 2019. These relationships primarily generate the changes in the MVE/TRCS levels and produce the changes in the ratios in all interest rate scenarios in the table below.

Detail of Derivative Instruments by Type of Instrument by Type of Risk: Various types of derivative instruments are utilized to mitigate the interest rate risks described in the preceding sections as well as to better match the terms of assets and liabilities. ~~We currently employ~~Generally, we designate derivative instruments ~~by designating them~~ as ~~either~~either: (1) a fair value ~~or cash flow~~ hedge of an underlying financial instrument or a forecasted ~~transaction~~transaction; or (2) an economic hedge used in asset/liability ~~management (i.e., an economic hedge).~~management. An economic hedge is defined as a derivative hedging specific or non-specific underlying assets, liabilities or firm commitments that either does not qualify for hedge accounting, or for which we have not elected hedge accounting, but is an acceptable hedging strategy under our RMP. For hedging relationships that are not designated for shortcut hedge accounting, we formally assess (both at the hedge’s inception and monthly on an ongoing basis) whether the derivatives used have been highly effective in offsetting changes in the fair values or cash flows of hedged items and whether those derivatives may be expected to remain highly effective in future periods. We typically use regression analyses or similar statistical analyses to assess the effectiveness of our long haul hedges. We determine the hedge accounting to be applied when the hedge is entered into by completing detailed documentation, which includes a checklist setting forth criteria that must be met to qualify for hedge accounting.

Tables 4246 and 4347 present the notional amount and fair value amount (fair value includes net accrued interest receivable or payable on the derivative)~~, excluding variation margin,~~ for derivative instruments by hedged item, hedging instrument, hedging objective and accounting designation (in thousands):

Item 4: Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Senior management is responsible for establishing and maintaining a system of disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC. Our disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer or officers and principal financial officer or officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide a reasonable level of assurance in achieving their desired objectives; however, in designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.

Management, with the participation of the President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO), our principal executive officer, and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), our principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017.~~2019. Based upon that evaluation, the CEO and CFO have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level as of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017.~~2019.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017~~2019 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
