Note 1 – Background and Basis of Presentation
The Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago is a federally chartered corporation and one of 11 Federal Home Loan Banks (the FHLBs) that, with the Office of Finance, comprise the Federal Home Loan Bank System (the System). The FHLBs are government-sponsored enterprises (GSE) of the United States of America and were organized under the Federal Home Loan Bank Act of 1932, as amended (FHLB Act), in order to improve the availability of funds to support home ownership. We are supervised and regulated by the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA), an independent federal agency in the executive branch of the United States (U.S.) government.
Each FHLB is a member-owned cooperative with members from a specifically defined geographic district. Our defined geographic district is Illinois and Wisconsin. All federally-insured depository institutions, insurance companies engaged in residential housing finance, credit unions and community development financial institutions located in our district are eligible to apply for membership with us. All our members are required to purchase our capital stock as a condition of membership. Our capital stock is not publicly traded, and is issued, repurchased or redeemed at par value, $100 per share, subject to certain statutory and regulatory limits. As a cooperative, we do business with our members, and former members (under limited circumstances). Specifically, we provide credit principally in the form of secured loans called advances. We also provide liquidity for home mortgage loans to members approved as Participating Financial Institutions (PFIs) through the Mortgage Partnership Finance® (MPF®) Program.
Our accounting and financial reporting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (GAAP). Amounts in prior periods may be reclassified to conform to the current presentation and, if material, are disclosed in the following notes.
In the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments have been included for a fair statement of this interim financial information. These unaudited financial statements and the following footnotes should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and footnotes for the year ended December 31, 2016,2017, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K (2016(2017 Form 10-K) starting on page F-1, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
Unless otherwise specified, references to we, us, our, and the Bank are to the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago.

See the Glossary of Terms starting on page 6359 for the definitions of certain terms used herein.
Use of Estimates and Assumptions
We are required to make estimates and assumptions when preparing our financial statements in accordance with GAAP. The most significant of these estimates and assumptions applies to fair value measurements and allowance for credit losses. Our actual results may differ from the results reported in our financial statements due to such estimates and assumptions. This includes the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the reported amounts of income and expense, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.
Basis of Presentation
The basis of presentation pertaining to the consolidation of our variable interest entities has not significantly changed since we filed our 20162017 Form 10-K. The basis of presentation pertaining to our gross versus net presentation of financial instruments also has not significantly changed since we filed our 20162017 Form 10-K with one exception. Specifically, there was a change in our basis of presentation for our cleared derivative transactions with clearinghouses classified as a Derivatives Clearing Organization (DCO) through a Futures Commission Merchant (FCM), a clearing member of the DCO. Prior to 2017, our accounting presented derivative assets and liabilities of our cleared derivative transactions on a net basis, inclusive of initial and variation margin, and accrued interest receivable/payable and cash collateral. Due to rule changes adopted by our DCOs that characterize the treatment of variation margin payments as settlement of a derivative’s mark-to-market exposure and not as collateral against the derivative’s mark-to-market exposure, we now account for our variation margin payments as settlements to our derivative assets and derivative liabilities. The amendments to the DCOs’ rules have no effect on how we present initial margin, which we include in the carrying amount of our derivative assets or derivative liabilities.10-K.
Refer to Note 1- Background and Basis of Presentation to the financial statements in our 20162017 Form 10-K with respect to our basis of presentation for consolidation of variable interest entities and our gross versus net presentation of financial instruments for further details.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Our Summary of Significant Accounting Policies through December 31, 2016,2017, can be found in Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to the financial statements in our 20162017 Form 10-K. We adopted the following policies year to date in 2017:effective January 1, 2018:
Accounting for Variation Margin Payments
Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (ASU 2016-01)
Effective in JanuaryWe are required to recognize the portion of 2017 we began accounting for variation margin payments madeinstrument-specific credit risk attributable to or received by the DCOs through our FCMs as settlements to our cleared derivative assets and derivative liabilities. See Note 1 - Background and Basis for Presentation for further details. Thistotal change in accountingfair value of our consolidated obligations that are carried at fair value in our statements of comprehensive income. We measure such instrument-specific credit risk based on our nonperformance risk, which includes our nonperformance risk and the credit risk associated with the joint and several liability of other FHLBs. The new guidance did not have anyan effect on our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows at the accountingtime of our existing hedge relationships. Specifically, the change in accounting would not require us to discontinue existing hedge relationships or preclude us from using the short-cut method of hedge accounting provided no additional changes are made by the DCOs that would preclude the use of the short-cut method of hedge accounting. The International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA) issued a confirmation letter confirming the SEC staff’s non-objection to the conclusions reached by ISDA related to the accounting implications of the DCO rule changes regarding the characterization of the variation margin payments as daily settlements and the continued application of existing hedge accounting relationships, including the use of the short-cut method of hedge accounting.adoption.
Contingent Put and Call Options in Debt Instruments
Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASU 2014-09)
In March of 2016, the FASB issued new guidance clarifying the requirements for assessing whether a contingent call (put) option embedded in a debt instrument is clearly and closely related to that debt instrument, which is referred to the "host contract" for purposes of this assessment. Specifically, we are no longer required to consider the event triggering the acceleration of an embedded contingent call (put) option when assessing whether it is clearly and closely related to the debt instrument or host contract. We adopted the new guidance effective January 1, 2017. The newrevenue recognition guidance did not have any effect on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows at the time of adoption. This is because the majority of our financial instruments and other contractual rights that generate revenue are covered by other GAAP, and therefore, were scoped out of this new guidance. Further, our prior method of recognizing service fee revenue was consistent with this new guidance. As a result, no cumulative effect adjustment to our opening balance of retained earnings in 2018 was required under the modified retrospective method.
Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost (ASU 2017-07)
We are required to classify the service cost component of our net periodic pension and postretirement benefit costs as compensation costs. All other components of our net periodic pension and postretirement benefit costs are required to be classified as Noninterest expense - Other. Previously, our total net periodic pension and postretirement costs were classified as compensation costs. We made this classification change on a prospective rather than retrospective basis due to materiality. This classification guidance did not have a significant effect on our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.
Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments in the Statement of Cash Flows (ASU 2016-15)
We classify and disclose interest expense on zero coupon discount notes within operating activities, which is consistent with our prior and current classification practice. As a result, this guidance did have any effect on our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows at the time of adoption.

Such an entity adopts these amendments. The amended presentation and disclosure guidanceelection will require an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings.
We are permitted to reclassify a debt security from held-to-maturity to available-for-sale if the debt security is required only prospectively.
Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost
In March of 2017, the FASB amended existing GAAP to require the service cost component of our net periodic pension and postretirement benefit costseligible to be classified as compensation costs. The other components of our net periodic pension and postretirement benefit costs are required to be classified as Noninterest expense - Other operating expenses on a retrospective basis effective January 1, 2018. Currently, our total net periodic pension and postretirement costs are classified as compensation costs. We do not expecthedged under the classification guidance of this GAAP amendment will have a significant effect on our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.
Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments in the Statement of Cash Flows
In August of 2016, the FASB issued statement of cash flows classification guidance governing certain cash receipts and cash payments. The new guidance becomes effective January 1, 2018 and will be applied retrospectively for each period our statements of cash flows are presented at the time of adoption. The new guidance is not expected to have any effect on our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows since our existing practice is consistent with the provisions that are applicable to us. The provisions applicable to us are outlined below.
We classify cash payments related to prepaying or extinguishing our consolidated obligations as financing activities in our statements of cash flows.
We classify the cash payments attributable to interest expense paid at the maturity of our discount notes, which have a zero coupon rate, as operating activities in our statements of cash flows and in our supplemental disclosure of interest expense paid.last-of-the layer method.

Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (ASU 2016-13)
In June of 2016, the FASB amended existing GAAP guidance applicable to measuring credit losses on financial instruments. The amendmentsThis guidance takes effect January 1, 2020. We are expected to result in recognizing credit losses in the process of reviewing the expected effect of this guidance on our financial statements on a timelier basis by utilizing forward looking information. Key provisionscondition, results of operations, and cash flows. Specifically, the amendments relevant to us are outlined below.
Replacesamendment replaces the “incurred loss” impairment methodology applied under current GAAP with an “expecteda “currently expected credit losses” or CECL methodology.
The expected credit losses methodology requires us to estimate all credit losses on financial instruments carried on an amortized cost basis and off-balance-sheet credit exposures over their contractual term. On balance sheet financial instruments include, but are not limited to, advances, MPF Loans held in portfolio, and Held-to-maturity (HTM) securities. Off-balance-sheet credit exposure refers to unfunded credit exposures, such as standby letters of credit.
The measurement of expected credit lossesCECL is based on relevant information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the financial instrument’s reported amount. Upon adoption, any difference between our existing and CECL allowance for credit losses will be recognized as a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of our retained earnings as of January 1, 2020.
In addition, the accounting for securities is amended as follows:
Aligns the income statement recognition of credit losses for securities with the reporting period in which changes in collectability occur by recording credit losses (and subsequent reversals) through an allowance rather than a write-down as currently required under GAAP.
Requires recognition of a credit loss on available-for-sale (AFS) securities into the income statement if the present value of cash flows expected to be collected on the security is less than its amortized cost basis. Additionally, the allowance on AFS debt securities will be limited to the amount by which fair value is less than the amortized cost basis.
Expands upon the current credit quality disclosures by requiring further disaggregation of financial instruments by their year of origination. This disclosure is expected to help financial statement users better understand credit quality trends of asset portfolios.
The amendments become effective January 1, 2020, with early adoption permitted effective January 1, 2019. We plan to implement the expected credit loss methodology through a cumulative-effect adjustment to our beginning retained earnings as of the first reporting period in which the new guidance becomes effective for us. The cumulative effect adjustment will equal the amount required to adjust our existing allowance for credit losses for our on balance-sheet financial instruments and other liabilities for our off-balance sheet financial instruments to the amounts determined under the expected credit losses methodology. A prospective transition approach is required for debt securities. Accordingly, any OTTI write-downs on securities in which an other-than-temporary-impairment (OTTI) impairment had been recognized before our effective date. The accounting implications of such an approach are outlined below:
Write-downs recognized prior to our effective date on securitiesJanuary 1, 2020 may not be reversed at the time of our adoption.
Improvements in expected cash flows subsequent to adoption for suchthese securities will continue to be accounted for as yield adjustments over their remaining life.
Recoveries of amounts previously written off prior to the date of adoption Additionally, recoveries for these securities will be recorded in earnings only when received.
We are in the process of reviewing the expected effect of this guidance on our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.
Leases (ASU 2016-02)
In February of 2016, the FASB issued newlease accounting guidance pertainingthat becomes effective January 1, 2019. Upon adoption, we are required to lease accounting.apply the guidance to the beginning of our earliest statement of condition presented or December 31, 2018. The new guidance requires us to recognize and measure our operating leases and right-to-use assets, if any, with terms that exceed 12 months in our statements of condition if their term exceeds 12 months. Currently, we recognizecondition. Expenses attributable to our operating leases off-balance sheet. The new guidance becomes effective January 1, 2019. A modified retrospective transition approach is requiredwill continue to be applied to leases existing at, or entered into after, January 1, 2018.included in noninterest expense - operating expenses in our statements of income. We do not expect the new guidance to have a significant effect on our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows since our existing off-balance sheet operating leases are not material.

Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities
In January of 2016, the FASB issued new guidance governing recognition and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities. The new guidance becomes effective January 1, 2018. We do not expect the new guidance to have a significant effect on our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. The key provisions applicable to us are as follows:
The ability to elect the fair value option will continue to be permitted.
The portion of instrument-specific credit risk attributable to the total change in fair value of our consolidated obligations that are carried at fair value under the fair value option should be recognized in other comprehensive income. We will measure such instrument-specific credit risk based on our nonperformance risk. Specifically, our nonperformance risk includes our own credit risk and the credit risk associated with the joint and several liability of other FHLBs. We do not expect this requirement will have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.
The requirement to separately present financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category, such as amortized cost, and form, such as securities or loans, on our statements of condition or the accompanying notes to the financial statements.
Revenue from Contracts with Customers
In May of 2014, the FASB issued new guidance governing revenue recognition from contracts with customers. Subsequently the FASB issued several other related pronouncements that provide additional revenue recognition guidance and clarifications to the original guidance issued in 2014. The new guidance becomes effective January 1, 2018. We do not expect the new revenue recognition guidance will have any effect on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows at the time of adoption. This is because the majority of our financial instruments and other contractual rights that generate revenue are covered by other GAAP, and therefore, are scoped out of this new guidance. Further, we believe that our current method of recognition of our service fee revenue, which is insignificant, is already consistent with this new guidance. In the event of an adjustment, if any, we would apply the modified retrospective method.

Other-Than-Temporary Impairment Analysis
We recognized no OTTI charges on HTM or AFS securities for the periods presented. This is because we do not intend to sell these securities, we believe it is more likely than not that we will not be required to sell them prior to recovering their amortized cost basis, and we expect to recover the entire amortized cost basis. For further detail on our accounting policy regarding OTTI please see Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to the financial statements in our 20162017 Form 10-K.
As of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2018, we had a base case short-term housing price forecast for all markets with projected changes ranging from -6.0%-8.0% to +13.0% over the twelve month period beginning JulyApril 1, 2017.2018. For the vast majority of markets, the short-term forecast has changes ranging from +1.0%+2.0% to +6.0%+7.0%.

Note 8 – Allowance for Credit Losses
See Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to the financial statements in our 20162017 Form 10-K for further details regarding our allowance for credit losses methodology for each of the portfolio segments discussed below.
We have identified our portfolio segments as shown below:
Member credit products (advances, letters of credit and other extensions of credit to borrowers);
Conventional MPF Loans held in portfolio;
Government Loans held in portfolio; and
Federal Funds Sold and Securities Purchased Under Agreements to Resell.
Member Credit Products
We have not recorded any allowance for credit losses for our member credit products portfolio segment based upon our credit analysis and the repayment history on member credit products. We had no member credit products that were past due, on nonaccrual status, involved in a troubled debt restructuring or otherwise considered impaired. We have not recorded a separate liability to reflect credit losses on our member credit products with off-balance sheet credit exposure.
Conventional MPF Loans Held in Portfolio
For further detail of our MPF Risk Sharing Structure see page F-15F-16 in our 20162017 Form 10-K. There has been no material activity in our allowance for credit losses since December 31, 2016.2017.

Government Loans Held in Portfolio
Servicers are responsible for absorbing any losses incurred on Government Loans held in portfolio that are not recovered from the government insurer or guarantor. We did not establish an allowance for credit losses on our Government Loans held in portfolio for the reporting periods presented based on our assessment that our servicers have the ability to absorb such losses. Further, Government Loans were not placed on nonaccrual status or disclosed as troubled debt restructurings for the same reason.

Credit Quality Indicators - MPF Loans Held in Portfolio
The following table summarizes our recorded investment in MPF Loans by our key credit quality indicators, which include:
"Serious delinquency rate" consists of MPF Loans that are 90 days or more past due or in the process of foreclosure, as a percentage of the total recorded investment. MPF Loans that are both 90 days or more past due and in the process of foreclosure are only included once in our serious delinquency rate calculation.
"Past due 90 days or more still accruing interest" consists of MPF Loans that are either insured or guaranteed by the government or conventional mortgage loans that are well secured (by collateral that have a realizable value sufficient to discharge the debt or by the guarantee or insurance, such as primary mortgage insurance, of a financially responsible party) and in the process of collection.

Term Federal Funds Sold and Term Securities Purchased Under Agreements to Resell
We only held overnight Federal Funds sold and Securities Purchased Under Agreements to Resell as of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2018, and December 31, 2016.2017. We did not have any longer term Federal Funds sold and Securities Purchased Under Agreements to Resell arrangements. We did not establish an allowance for credit losses for our overnight Federal Funds sold since all Federal Funds sold were repaid according to their contractual terms. We also did not establish an allowance for credit losses for overnight securities purchased under agreements to resell since all payments due under the contractual terms have been received and we hold sufficient underlying collateral.

Note 9 – Derivatives and Hedging Activities
SeeRefer to Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in our 20162017 Form 10-K for our accounting policies for derivatives.
We transact most of our derivatives with large banks and major broker-dealers. Some of these banks and broker-dealers or their affiliates buy, sell, and distribute consolidated obligations. We are not a derivatives dealer and do not trade derivatives for speculative purposes. We enter into derivative transactions through either of the following:
A bilateral agreement with an individual counterparty for over-the-counter derivative transactions.
Clearinghouses classified as DCOsDerivatives Clearing Organizations (DCOs) through FCMs,Futures Commission Merchants (FCMs), which are clearing members of the DCOs, for cleared derivative transactions.
Managing Interest Rate Risk
We use fair value hedges to offset changes in the fair value or a benchmark interest rate (e.g., LIBOR) related to (1) a recognized asset or liability or (2) an unrecognized firm commitment. We use cash flow hedges to offset an exposure to variability in expected future cash flows associated with an existing recognized asset or liability or a forecasted transaction. We use economic hedges in cases where hedge accounting treatment is not permitted or achievable; for example, hedges of portfolio interest rate risk or financial instruments carried at fair value under the fair value option.
Managing Credit Risk on Derivative Agreements
Over-the-counter (bilateral) Derivative Transactions: We are subject to credit risk due to the risk of nonperformance by counterparties to our derivative agreements. For bilateral derivative agreements, the degree of counterparty risk depends on the extent to which master netting arrangements, collateral requirements and other credit enhancements are included in such contracts to mitigate the risk. We manage counterparty credit risk through credit analysis, collateral requirements and adherence to the requirements set forth in our policies and FHFA regulations. We require collateral agreements on all over-the-counter derivatives. Additionally, collateral related to over-the-counter derivatives with member institutions includes collateral assigned to us, as evidenced by a written security agreement, and which may be held by the member institution for our benefit. Based on credit analyses and collateral requirements, we do not anticipate any credit losses on our over-the-counter derivative agreements. See Note 13 - Fair Value to the financial statements in this Form 10-Q and Note 16 - Fair Value in our 20162017 Form 10-K for discussion regarding our fair value methodology for over-the-counter derivative assets and liabilities, including an evaluation of the potential for the fair value of these instruments to be affected by counterparty credit risk.
For mostnearly all of our bilateral derivative transactions executed prior to March 1, 2017, and for all transactions entered into after March 1, 2017, our bilateral derivative agreements are fully collateralized with a zero unsecured threshold in accordance with variation margin requirements issued by the U.S. federal bank regulatory agencies and the CFTC, as discussed in the Legislative and Regulatory Developments in the Bank’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015. Certain of our bilateral derivative agreementsCommodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). For certain transactions executed prior to March 1, 2017, we may contain provisions that require usbe required to post net additional collateral with our counterparties for transactions executed prior to March 1, 2017, if there is deterioration in our credit rating. If our credit rating had been lowered from its current rating to the next lower rating by a major credit rating agency, such as Standard and Poor's or Moody’s, the amount of collateral we would have been required to deliver would not have been material at SeptemberJune 30, 2017.2018.
Cleared Derivative Transactions: Cleared derivative transactions are subject to variation and initial margin requirements established by the DCO and its clearing members. As a result of rule changes adopted by our DCOs, variation margin payments are characterized as settlement of a derivative’s mark-to-market exposure and not as collateral against the derivative’s mark-to-market exposure. See Note 1 - Background and Basis of Presentation and Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to the financial statements in this Form 10-Q and our 2017 Form 10-K for further discussion. We post our initial margin collateral payments and make variation margin settlement payments through our FCMs, on behalf of the DCO, which could expose us to institutional credit risk in the event that the FCMs or the DCO fail to meet their obligations. Clearing derivatives through a DCO mitigates counterparty credit risk exposure because the DCO is substituted for individual counterparties and variation margin settlement payments are made daily through the FCMs for changes in the value of cleared derivatives. The DCO determines initial margin requirements for cleared derivatives. In this regard, we pledged $71$74 million of investment securities that can be sold or repledged, as part of our initial margin related to cleared derivative transactions at SeptemberJune 30, 2017.2018. Additionally, an FCM may require additional initial margin to be posted based on credit considerations, including but not limited to, if our credit rating downgrades. We had no requirement to post additional initial margin by our FCMs at SeptemberJune 30, 2017.2018.

Cash Flow Hedges
We are exposed to the variability in the total net proceeds received from forecasted zero-coupon discount note issuances, which is attributable to changes in the benchmark interest rate, London Interbank Offering Rate ("LIBOR"). As a result, we enter into cash flow hedge relationships utilizing derivative agreements to hedge the total net proceeds received from our "rolling" forecasted zero-coupon discount note issuances attributable to changes in LIBOR. The maximum length of time over which we are hedging this exposure is 2 years. We reclassify amounts in AOCI into our statements of income in the same periods during which the hedged forecasted transaction affects our earnings. We had no discontinued hedges.hedges for the periods presented. The deferred net gains (losses) on derivative instruments in AOCI that are expected to be reclassified to earnings during the next twelve months were $(2) millionnot material as of SeptemberJune 30, 2017. The maximum length of time over which we are hedging our exposure to the variability in future cash flows for forecasted transactions is 3 years.2018.
The following table presents our cash flow hedging results by type of hedged item. Additionally, the table indicates where cash flow hedging results are classified in our statements of income. In this regard, the Amount Recorded in Net Interest Income column includes the following:
The amortization of closed cash flow hedging adjustments, which are reclassified from AOCI into the interest income/expense line item of the respective hedged item type.
The effect of net interest settlements attributable to open derivative hedging instruments, which are recorded directly to the interest income/expense line item of the respective hedged item type.

Note 10 – Consolidated Obligations
The FHLBs issue consolidated obligations through the Office of Finance as their agent. Consolidated obligations consist of discount notes and consolidated obligation bonds. Consolidated discount notes are issued to raise short-term funds, are issued at less than their face amount and redeemed at par value when they mature. The maturity of consolidated obligation bonds may range from less than one year to over 20 years, but they are not subject to any statutory or regulatory limits on maturity.
The following table presents our consolidated obligation discount notes for which we are the primary obligor. All are due in one year or less.

Repurchase of Excess Capital Stock
On January 26,Beginning in 2017, we began repurchasing all excess Class B2 membership stock on a weekly basis at par value, i.e., at $100 per share. Members may continue to request repurchase of excess stock on any business day in addition to the weekly repurchase. All repurchases of excess stock, including automatic weekly repurchases, will continue until otherwise announced, but remain subject to our regulatory requirements, certain financial and capital thresholds, and prudent business practices. Repurchase of excess capital stock held by members is subject to compliance with financial and capital thresholds, as detailed on page 57 of our 2016 Form 10-K.
As of September 30, 2017, our regulatory capital stock outstanding was $1.9 billion, a net decrease of $147 million from December 31, 2016, due in part to the automatic weekly repurchases.
Dividends
On October 24, 2017, our Board of Directors declared a 3.30% dividend (annualized) for Class B1 activity stock and a 1.25% dividend (annualized) for Class B2 membership stock based on our preliminary financial results for the third quarter of 2017. This dividend, including dividends on mandatorily redeemable capital stock, totaled $11 million and is scheduled for payment on November 15, 2017.

Note 13 - Fair Value
Fair value represents the exit price that we would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction with a market participant at the measurement date. See Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to the financial statements in our 2016 Form 10-K for our fair value measurement policies. For a description of the valuation techniques and significant inputs see Note 16 - Fair Value to the financial statements in our 2016 Form 10-K.
The following tables aretable is a summary of the fair value estimates and related levels in the fair value hierarchy. The carrying amounts are as recorded inper the statements of condition. These tablesFair value estimates represent the exit prices that we would receive to sell assets or pay to transfer liabilities in an orderly transaction with market participants at the measurement date. They do not represent an estimate of our overall market value as a going concern, as they do not take into account future business opportunities and future netor profitability of assets and liabilities. We had no transfers between levels in the fair value hierarchy for the periods shown.

As a result, we elect the fair value option for such instruments, in which case, such instrumentsdid not recognize any instrument-specific credit risk attributable to our consolidated obligations that are measured at fair value on our statements of condition.

Fair Value Option
We may elect the fair value option for financial instruments, such as advances, MPF Loans held for sale, and consolidated obligation discount notes and bonds, in cases where hedge accounting treatment may not be achieved due to the inability to meet the hedge effectiveness testing criterion. Financial instruments for which we elected the fair value option along with their related fair value are shown on our Statements of Condition. Refer to our Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to the financial statements in our 20162017 Form 10-K for further details.
The following table presents the changes in fair values of financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value under the fair value option. These changes were recognized in noninterest income - instruments held under the fair value option in our statements of income.

Results of Operations
Net Interest Income
Net interest income is the difference between the amount we recognize into interest income on our interest earning assets and the amount we recognize into interest expense on our interest bearing liabilities. These amounts were determined in accordance with GAAP and were based on the underlying contractual interest rate terms of our interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities as well as the following items:
Net interest paid or received on interest rate swaps that are accounted for as fair value or cash flow hedges;
Amortization of premiums;
Accretion of discounts and discounts;
OTTI reversals;security yield adjustments due to either subsequent increases or decreases in estimated cash flows;
Amortization of hedge adjustments;
Advance and investment prepayment fees; and
MPF credit enhancement fees.
The table on the following page presents the increase or decrease in interest income and expense due to volume or rate variances. The calculation of these components includes the following considerations:
| |
• | Average Balance: Average balances are calculated using daily balances. HistoricalAmortized cost balances arebasis is used to compute the average balances for most of our financial instruments, including available for sale securities and MPF Loans held in portfolio that are on nonaccrual status.status and available-for-sale securities. The calculation of the yield on our available-for-sale securities does not give effect to changes in fair value that are reflected as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI). Fair value is used to compute average balances for our trading securities and financial instruments carried at fair value under the fair value option. |
| |
• | Total Interest: Total interest includes all components ofthe net interest income if applicable,components, as discussed above.above, applicable to our interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities. |
| |
• | Yield/Rate: Effective yields/rates are based on total interest and average daily balances and include all components of net interest income as discusseddefined above. Yields/rates are calculated on an annualized basis. |
Any changes due to the combined volume/rate variance have been allocated ratably to volume and rate.volume.

The following is an analysis of the above table and comparisons apply to SeptemberJune 30, 20172018 compared to December 31, 2016.2017.
Cash and due from banks, interest bearing deposits, Federal Funds sold, and securities purchased under agreements to resell
Amounts held in these accounts will vary each day based on the following:
Interest rate spreads between Federal Funds sold and securities purchased under agreements to resell and our debt;
Liquidity requirements;
Counterparties available; and
Collateral availability on securities purchased under agreements to resell.
We increased the amounts of these liquid assets as demand for our advances and letters of credit increased.
Investment Securities
Investment securities declined asincreased primarily due to the purchase of $2.6 billion in short term U.S. Government securities in our trading securities portfolio during 2018. This increase was partially offset by declines in MBS/ABS securities in our available-for-sale and held-to-maturity portfolios that matured or paid down and were notonly partially replaced starting in June 2018, as noted in Results of Operations on page 40.41.
Advances
Advances increased to the highest outstanding quarter-endquarter end balance in our history at September 30, 2017. See Note 6 - Advancesdue to the financial statements.
strong market demand for funding in our district. As our members experience increased loan demands outpacing their deposit growth, utilization of our advances increased. While advance demand is strong, it is possible that member demand for our advances could decline in future periods should their funding needs change, or to the extent they elect alternative funding resources. In addition, as our advances with captive insurance companies mature, our total advance levels couldmay decrease.
MPF Loans Held in Portfolio, Net of Allowance for Credit Losses
We had a small net increase in our outstanding MPF Loans from year end,held in portfolio increased due to higher volumes, as ournew MPF loan purchases continued to moderately outpace paydown and maturity activity due to an increased number of new loans during 2017 offset maturitiesPFIs and paydowns experienced in ourmore competitive pricing for low balance MPF Loan portfolio.

Loans.
In addition to our MPF Loans held in portfolio, we have MPF off-balance sheet products, where we buy and concurrently resell MPF Loans to Fannie Mae or other third party investors or pool and securitize them into Ginnie Mae MBS.
Hurricanes and California Wildfires
During the third quarter of 2017, three significant hurricanes impacted the southeastern coasts of the United States and Puerto Rico.
We have analyzed the potential impact that damage related to these hurricanes might have on our advances, letters of credit, MPF Loans held for portfolio, community investment programs, and non-agency MBS securities. These hurricanes did not have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operation during the third quarter of 2017. Based on the information currently available, we do not expect that the potential losses resulting from these hurricanes will have a material effect on our financial condition or results of operations in future periods.
We continue to evaluate the impact of the hurricanes on our advances, letters of credit, MPF Loans held for portfolio, community investment programs, and non-agency MBS investments. We are also monitoring the significant wildfires in California that occurred in October 2017 for any potential impact. If additional information becomes available indicating that any of our assets have been impaired and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated, we will record appropriate reserves at that time.
Additionally, in response to the hurricanes and California wildfires, we communicated to our mortgage loan servicers of our conventional MPF Loans held in portfolio that special relief would be available for certain borrowers, including forbearance or temporary suspension of mortgage payments for up to 90 days for borrowers whose income is affected by the disaster or for borrowers whose property is located in a FEMA disaster designated area. To assist individuals and households displaced by the hurricanes, we have announced that vacant AHP-assisted rental units may be temporarily leased to displaced individuals/households, regardless of income.

Liquidity, Funding, & Capital Resources
Liquidity
For the period ending SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2018, we have maintained a liquidity position in accordance with FHFA regulations and guidance, and policies established by our Board of Directors. Based upon our excess liquidity position described below, we anticipate remaining in compliance with our liquidity requirements. See Liquidity, Funding, & Capital Resources on page 48 in our 20162017 Form 10-K for a detailed description of our liquidity requirements. We use different measures of liquidity as follows:
Overnight Liquidity – Our policy requires us to maintain overnight liquid assets at least equal to 3.5% or $3.1$3.4 billion of total assets. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2018, our overnight liquidity was $20.7$22.1 billion or 24%23% of total assets, giving us an excess overnight liquidity of $17.6$18.7 billion.
Deposit Coverage – To support our member deposits, FHFA regulations require us to have an amount equal to the current deposits invested in obligations of the U.S. Government, deposits in eligible banks or trust companies, or advances with maturities not exceeding five years. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2018, we had excess liquidity of $40.0$51.6 billion to support member deposits.
Contingency Liquidity – The cumulative five business day liquidity measurement assumes there is a localized credit crisis for all FHLBs where the FHLBs do not have the ability to issue new consolidated obligations or borrow unsecured funds from other sources (e.g., purchasing Federal Funds or customer deposits). Our net liquidity in excess of our total uses and reserves over a cumulative five-business-day period was $17.7$20.0 billion as of SeptemberJune 30, 2017.2018.
In addition to the liquidity measures discussed above, FHFA guidance requires us to maintain daily liquidity through short-term investments in an amount at least equal to our anticipated cash outflows under two different scenarios. One scenario assumes that we cannot access the capital markets for 15 days and that during that time members do not renew any maturing, prepaid, and called advances. The second scenario assumes that we cannot access the capital markets for 5five days and that during that period we will automatically renew maturing and called advances for all members except for very large, highly rated members. These additional requirements are more stringent than the contingency liquidity requirement discussed above and are designed to enhance our protection against temporary disruptions in access to the FHLB debt markets in response to a rise in capital markets volatility. As a result of this guidance, we are maintaining increased balances in short-term investments. In addition, we fund certain overnight or shorter-term investments and advances with debt that has a maturity that extends beyond the maturities of the related investments or advances. For a discussion of how this may impact our earnings, see page 2118 in the Risk Factors section of our 20162017 Form 10-K. On July 3, 2017, the FHFA proposed to rescind certain minimum regulatory liquidity requirements for the FHLBs as further discussed in Legislative and Regulatory Developments starting on page 56.
We are sensitive to maintaining an appropriate liquidity and funding balance between our financial assets and liabilities, and we measure and monitor the risk of refunding such assets as liabilities mature (refunding risk). In measuring the level of assets requiring refunding, we take into account their contractual maturities, as further described in the notes to the financial statements. In addition, we make certain assumptions about their expected cash flows. These assumptions include: calls for assets with such features, projected prepayments and scheduled amortizations for our MPF Loans held in portfolio, MBS and ABS investments. The following table presents the unpaid principal balances of (1) MPF Loans held in portfolio, (2) AFS securities, and (3) HTM securities (including ABS and MBS investments), by expected principal cash flows. The table is illustrative of our assumptions about the expected rather than contractual cash flowflows of our assets, including prepayments made in advance of maturity.

Funding
Conditions in Financial Markets
TheIn June 2018, the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) maintainedraised the target range from 1.00for the federal fund rate by 25 basis points to 1.25a range of 1.75 percent duringto 2.00 percent. This is the third quarter of 2017. In September 2017,seventh rate hike since the FOMC initiated its balance sheet normalization programbegan to shrink its balance sheet by reducing reinvestment purchases of US Treasuries and agency mortgage backed securities.raise rates in December 2015. The markets predictanticipate another 25 basis point increase in the target range for the federal fund rate in the fourththird quarter of 2017.
2018.
We maintained ready access to funding during the third quarter. However, the U.S. Treasury has projected that the statutory “debt ceiling” limit could be reached in the firstsecond quarter of 2018. In preparation for the possibility of disorderly markets caused by potential debt defaults of the U.S. Government, we will be monitoring our liquidity position.

LiquidThe increase in liquid assets reflect a desire forour increased liquidity needs to meet the needsdemands of our members.
Securities held for investment reflectsprimarily reflect the continued paydownpurchases made in our investmentstrading security portfolio in 2018. Subject to FHFA limits, we also began purchasing MBS securities in our available-for-sale security portfolio. Our purchases were partially offset by continued paydowns in the rest of our investment security portfolio.
Advances reflect the further increase in advances outstanding during 2017, but at a slower rate than 2016.2018 due to strong member demand, as compared to the smaller increase in advances outstanding in 2017.

Our financing activities primarily reflect cash flows related to issuing and repaying consolidated obligations. The proceeds from the net increases in our discount notes and bonds were primarily utilized to fund the net increases in our investing activities as noted above. The $4.3 billion changeincrease in net cash provided by (used in) financing activities primarily resulted from the following:

Capital Resources
Capital Rules
Under ourthe Second Amended and Restated Capital Plan of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago, effective October 1, 2015 (Capital Plan), our stock consists of two sub-classes of stock, Class B1 activity stock and Class B2 membership stock (together, Class B stock), both with a par value of $100 and redeemable on five years' written notice, subject to certain conditions. Each member is required to own capital stock in an amount equal to the greater of a membership stock requirement or an activity stock requirement. Class B1 activity stock is available for purchase only to support a member's activity stock requirement. Class B2 membership stock is available to be purchased to support a member's membership stock requirement and any activity stock requirement.
Under our Capital Plan, our Board of Directors may set a threshold of between $10,000 and $75 million on the amount of Class B2 membership stock that would otherwise be held for membership if a member has advances outstanding that have an activity stock requirement in excess of the threshold amount. In that case, the amount of Class B2 membership stock that exceeds such threshold and is necessary to support advance activity is automatically converted into Class B1 activity stock. That threshold is currently set at $10,000, which means that we will convert to Class B1 activity capital stock any capital stock supporting advances that exceeds the lesser of the member's membership requirement or $10,000.
The Board of Directors may periodically adjust members' activity stock requirement for certain new advances within a range of 2% and 6% of a member's outstanding advances. Our Board implemented this provision through RCAPthe Reduced Capitalization Advance Program (RCAP) as further discussed below. Each member’s activity stock requirement remainedremains at 4.5% for non-RCAP advances.
Our Capital Plan allows for an activity stock requirement for MPF Loans acquired for our portfolio within a range of 0% and 6%, which our Board has set at 0%. Should the Board decide to introduce this capital requirement, we intend to notify members sufficiently in advance of the change and apply that change only to future acquisitions.
The Board may periodically adjust members’ membership stock requirement within a range of 0.20% to 2% of a member’s mortgage assets. Each member’s membership stock requirement is the greater of either $10,000 or 0.40% of a member's mortgage assets. A member’s investment in membership stock is subject to a cap equal to the lesser of (1) a dollar cap set by the Board within a range of $10,000 and $75 million, and (2) 9.9% of our total capital stock outstanding as of the prior December 31. The cap on each member’s membership stock requirement is now $5 million, which is less than 9.9% of the Bank’s total capital stock outstanding at December 31, 2016,2017, and is thus the operative cap during the remainder of 20172018 unless the Board sets a new cap.
Membership stock requirements will continue to be recalculated annually, whereas the activity stock requirement and any automatic conversion of Class B2 membership stock to Class B1 activity stock related to the threshold will apply on a daily basis.
For details on our capital stock requirement changes in 2016, see Capital Resource on page 54 of our 2016 Form 10-K.
(Dollars in tables in millions except per share amounts unless otherwise indicated)
We may only redeem or repurchase capital stock from a member if, following the redemption or repurchase, the member continues to meet its minimum investment requirement and we remain in compliance with our regulatory capital requirements as discussed in Note 11 - Capital and Mandatorily Redeemable Capital Stock (MRCS) to the financial statements in this Form 10-Q.
On July 3, 2017, the FHFA proposed to amend certain regulatory capital requirements for the FHLBs as further discussed in Legislative and Regulatory Developments on page 56.
Members that withdraw from membership must wait at least five years after their membership was terminated and all of their capital stock was redeemed or repurchased before being readmitted to membership in any FHLB.
For details on our capital stock requirements under our Capital Plan during 2017, see Capital Resource on page 53 of our 2017 Form 10-K. Under the terms of our Capital Plan, our Board of Directors is authorized to amend the Capital Plan, and the FHFA must approve all such amendments before they become effective.
For details on our minimum regulatory capital requirements see Note 11 - Capital and Mandatorily Redeemable Capital Stock (MRCS) to the financial statements in this Form 10-Q, and Minimum Capital Requirements on page F-44 of our 2017 Form 10-K.
Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago (Dollars in tables in millions except per share amounts unless otherwise indicated)
Reduced Capitalization Advance Program
RCAP allows members to borrow one or more advances with an activity stock requirement of only 2% for the life of the advance instead of the 4.5% requirement under our Capital Plan’s general provisions as further discussed in Capital Resources on page 54 of our 2016 Form 10-K.provisions. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2018, and December 31, 2016,2017, RCAP advances outstanding total $24.1$26.0 billion to 164158 members and $22.7$24.7 billion to 147158 members, respectively.
Repurchase of Excess Capital Stock
On January 26,Beginning in 2017, we began repurchasing all excess Class B2 membership stock on a weekly basis at par value, i.e., $100 per shareshare.. Members may continue to request repurchase of excess stock on any business day in addition to the weekly repurchase. All repurchases of excess stock, including automatic weekly repurchases, will continue until otherwise announced, but remain subject to our regulatory requirements, certain financial and capital thresholds, and prudent business practices.
Repurchase of excess capital stock held by members is subject to compliance with For details on the financial and capital thresholds as detailed relating to repurchases, see Repurchase of Excess Capital Stock on page 57 of our 20162017 Form 10-K.

Although we have had no OTTI year to date in 2017,2018, credit deterioration may negatively impact our remaining private label MBS portfolio. We cannot predict if or when impairments will occur, or the impact these impairments may have on our retained earnings and capital position. See page 28 of the Risk Factors section on page 16 of our 20162017 Form 10-K.
We may not pay dividends if we fail to satisfy our minimum capital and liquidity requirements under the FHLB Act and FHFA regulations.
On October 24, 2017,July 26, 2018, our Board of Directors declared a 3.30%4.25% dividend (annualized) for Class B1 activity stock and a 1.25%1.70% dividend (annualized) for Class B2 membership stock based on our preliminary financial results for the thirdsecond quarter of 2017.2018. This dividend, including dividends on mandatorily redeemable capital stock, totaled $11$19 million and is scheduled for payment on NovemberAugust 15, 2017.2018. The Class B2 capital stock dividend is intended to enhance the value of membership; the Class B1 capital stock dividend reduces the effective cost of borrowing from the Bank and rewards our members who support the entire cooperative by using our advance products.
Although we continue to work to maintain our financial strength to support a reasonable dividend, any future dividend determination by our Board will be at our Board's sole discretion and will depend on future operating results, our Retained Earnings and Dividend Policy and any other factors the Board determines to be relevant. On October 24, 2017, our Board of Directors amended our Retained Earnings and Dividend Policy to include consideration of settlement risks relating to unsettled consolidated obligations and investment securities. For further information see Retained Earnings & Dividends on page 57 in our 20162017 Form 10-K.
We continue to allocate 20% of our net income each quarter to a restricted retained earnings account in accordance with the Joint Capital Enhancement Agreement that we entered into with the other FHLBs, as further discussed in Joint Capital Enhancement Agreement on page F-44F-45 in our 20162017 Form 10-K.

MPF Loans and Related Exposures
For details on our allowance for credit losses on MPF Loans, please see Note 8 - Allowance for Credit Losses to the financial statements.
Credit Risk Exposure - Our credit risk exposure on conventional MPF Loans held in portfolio is the potential for financial losscredit losses due to borrower default on contractual principal and interest, which would result from the depreciation in the value of the real estate collateral securing the MPF Loan, offset by our ability to recover losses from PMI, Recoverable CE Fees, and the CE Amount which may include SMI. The PFI is required to pledge collateral to secure any portion of its CE Amount that is a direct obligation of the PFI. For further details see
Loss Structure for Credit Risk Sharing Products on page 9 of our 2017 Form 10-K, and Credit Risk Exposure and Setting Credit Enhancement Levels - Credit losses in a Master Commitment are first absorbed by the Bank’s FLA but, if applicable to the MPF product, we will withhold a PFI’s scheduled performance credit enhancement fee in order to reimburse ourselves for any losses allocated to the FLA. If the FLA is exhausted, the credit losses are then absorbed by the PFI’s CE Amount that is calculated by utilizing a third party’s credit model. For further details on the FLA and PFI’s CE Amount, refer to Item 1- PFI Responsibilitieson page 9 and Note 2 - MPF Risk Sharing Structure on page F-15 of the 2016 10-K.
Pursuant to the revised AMA regulation, effective January 18, 2017, we adjusted our methodology to set the PFI’s CE Amount. The PFI’s CE Amount is determined by the Bank with respect to an asset or a pool, based on documented analysis, that the Bank has a high degree of confidence that it will not bear material losses beyond the losses absorbed by the FLA, even under reasonably likely adverse changes to expected economic conditions.
The CE Amounts and the FLA for certain conventional MPF products held in our portfolio may be periodically reset lower for each Master Commitment after a required period of seasoning because the amount of credit enhancement necessary to maintain our risk of credit losses within our risk tolerance is usually reduced over time.
(Dollars in tables in millions except per share amounts unless otherwise indicated)
Under the MPF Plus product, the PFI is required to provide an SMI policy covering MPF Loans in the Master Commitment and having a deductible initially equal to the FLA. Certain SMI providers fell below the requirements in the MPF Guides and instead of replacing the SMI provider or indemnifying us for any losses, most PFIs elected to forfeit future performance CE Fees. Credit losses associated with Master Commitments where the SMI coverage has been discontinued are incorporated into the allowance for credit losses calculation. Such credit losses are immaterial.
The following table shows the status63 of our credit enhancement structure on conventional MPF Loans held in portfolio. Unpaid principal balances in this table include REO, as losses in REO impact, and are impacted by, the credit enhancement structure of a Master Commitment. As defined, the CE Amount includes SMI on the MPF Plus product. Government Loans are excluded from the table as they are not directly credit enhanced by the PFI.

Investment Securities
We hold a variety of AA or better rated investment securities, mostly government backed or insured securities such as GSE debt and FFELP ABS, and we believe these investments are low risk. There were no material changes in the credit ratings of these securities since December 31, 2016.2017. For further details see Investment Securities by Rating on page 7067 in our 20162017 Form 10-K. Except for private label MBS, we have never taken an impairment charge on our investment securities.
Our private label MBS are predominantly variable rate securities rated below investment grade (BBB). There were no material changes in overall credit quality since December 31, 2016,2017, nor have we acquired any new private label MBS. We last had an other-than-temporary impairment (OTTI) loss on private label MBS in 2012. We currently have unrealized gains on these securities as their market values have improved from the impaired values and subsequent to 2012 we have begun recording accretion gains on these securities back into income. For further details see Note 5 - Investment Securities to the financial statements.

Managing Our Credit Risk Exposure Related to Derivative Agreements
See Note 9 - Derivatives and Hedging Activities to the financial statements for a discussion of how we manage our credit risk exposure related to derivative agreements. We have credit exposure on net asset positions where we have not received adequate collateral from our counterparties. We also have credit exposure on net liability positions where we have pledged collateral in excess of our liability to a counterparty.
The following table presents our derivative positions where we have such credit exposures. The rating used was the lowest rating among the three largest Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organizations.NRSROs. Non-cash collateral pledged consists of initial margin we posted through our FCMs, on behalf of the DCOs for cleared derivatives and is included in our derivative positions with credit exposure.

Legislative and Regulatory Developments
Significant regulatory actions and developments are summarized below.
Information Security Management Advisory Bulletin
Adoption of Single-Counterparty Credit Limits for Bank Holding Companies and Foreign Banking Organizations by Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.
On September 28, 2017,August 6, 2018, the FHFA issuedBoard of Governors of the Federal Reserve System adopted a final rule establishing single-counterparty credit limits applicable to bank holding companies and foreign banking organizations with total consolidated assets of $250 billion or more, including global systemically important bank holding companies (“GSIBs”) in the United States. These entities are considered to be “covered companies” under the rule. The FHLBs are exempt from the limits and reporting requirements contained in this rule. However, credit exposure to individual FHLBs must be monitored, and reported on as required, by any entity that is a covered company under this rule.
Under the final rule, a covered company and its subsidiaries may not have aggregate net credit exposure to an Advisory BulletinFHLB and (in certain cases if applicable) economically interdependent entities in excess of 25% of the company’s tier 1 capital. Such credit exposure does not include advances from an FHLB, but generally includes collateral pledged to an FHLB in excess of a covered company’s outstanding advances. Also included toward a covered company’s net credit exposure is its investment in FHLB capital stock and debt instruments, deposits with an FHLB, FHLB-issued letters of credit where a covered company is the named beneficiary, and other obligations to an FHLB, including repurchase or reverse repurchase transactions net of collateral that supersedes previous guidancecreate a credit exposure to an FHLB. Intra-day exposures are exempt from the final rule.
With respect to the FHLBs’ consolidated obligations held by a covered company, the company must monitor, and report on as required, its credit exposure for such obligations. It is not clear if the Federal Reserve will require consolidated obligations to be aggregated with other exposures to an FHLB’s information security program. FHLB or the FHLB System.
The Advisory Bulletin describes three main componentsfinal rule gives major covered companies (i.e., GSIBs) until January 1, 2020 to comply; all other covered companies will have until July 1, 2020 to comply.
The Bank is continuing to study the overall effect of an information security program and provides the expectation that each FHLBrule, but does not believe the rule will use a risk-based approach to implement its information security program. The Advisory Bulletin contains expectations related to (i) governance, including guidance related to roles and responsibilities, risk assessments, industry standards, and cyber-insurance; (ii) engineering and architecture, including guidance on network security, software security, and security of endpoints; and (iii) operations, including guidance on continuous monitoring, vulnerability management, baseline configuration, asset life cycle, awareness and training, incident response and recovery, user access management, data classification and protection, oversight of third parties, and threat intelligence sharing.
We do not expect this Advisory Bulletin to materially affect ourits financial condition or results of operations.
Minority and Women Inclusion
On July 25, 2017, the FHFA published a final rule, effective August 24, 2017, amending its Minority and Women Inclusion regulations to clarify the scope of the FHLBs’ obligation to promote diversity and ensure inclusion. The final rule updates the existing FHFA regulations aimed at promoting diversity and the inclusion and use of minorities, women, and individuals with disabilities, and the businesses they own (MWDOB) in all FHLB business and activities, including management, employment, and contracting. The final rule will:
require the FHLBs 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 FHLBs to expand contracting opportunities for minorities, women, and individuals with disabilities through subcontracting arrangements;
require the FHLBs to develop policies that address reasonable accommodations for employees to observe their religious beliefs;
require the FHLBs 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 FHLBs 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 FHLBs might be able to improve MWDOB business with the FHLB 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 FHLBs to classify and provide additional data in their annual reports about the number of and amounts paid under its contracts with MWDOB.
We do not expect this final rule to materially affect our financial condition or results of operations, but anticipate that it may result in increased compliance costs and substantially increase the amount of tracking, monitoring, and reporting that would be required of us.

FHLB Capital Requirements
On July 3, 2017, the FHFA published a proposed rule to adopt, with amendments, the regulations of the Federal Housing Finance Board (predecessor to the FHFA) pertaining to the capital requirements for the FHLBs. The proposed rule would carry over most of the existing regulations without material change but would substantively revise the credit risk component of the risk-based capital requirement, as well as the limitations on extensions of unsecured credit. The main revisions would remove requirements that the FHLBs calculate credit risk capital charges and unsecured credit limits based on ratings issued by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization, and instead, require that the FHLBs 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 FHLBs and address these liquidity requirements in a separate rulemaking.
We submitted a joint comment letter with the other FHLBs 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.
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 prevent a counterparty’s immediate termination of, and limit the exercise of default rights under, the QFCs in the event of bankruptcy or receivership of the GSIB or an affiliate of the GSIB. QFCs include derivatives, repurchase agreements (known as repos) and reverse repos, and securities lending and borrowing agreements. On September 27, 2017, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) adopted a substantively identical final rule, effective January 1, 2018, with respect to QFCs entered into with certain FDIC-supervised institutions.
Although we are not a covered entity under these rules, as a counterparty to covered entities under QFCs, we may be required to amend QFCs entered into with FRB-regulated GSIBs or applicable FDIC-supervised institutions. 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.
Our Asset/Liability Management Committee provides oversight of risk management practices and policies. This includes routine reporting to senior Bank management and the Board of Directors, as well as maintaining the Income and Market Value Risk Policy, which defines our interest rate risk limits. The table below reflects the change in market risk limits under the policy.

Measurement of Market Risk Exposure
To measure our exposure, we discount the cash flows generated from modeling the terms and conditions of all interest rate-sensitive securities using current interest rates to determine their fair values or spreads to the swap curve for securities where third party prices are used. This includes considering explicit and embedded options using a lattice model or Monte Carlo simulation. We estimate yield curve, option, and basis risk exposures by calculating the fair value change in relation to various parallel changes in interest rates, implied volatility, prepayment speeds, spreads to the swap curve and mortgage rates.
The table below summarizes our sensitivity to various interest rate risk exposures in terms of changes in market value.
|
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | Option Risk | | Basis Risk |
| Yield Curve Risk | | Implied Volatility | | Prepayment Speeds | | Spread to Swap Curve | | Mortgage Spread |

Yield curve risk – Change in market value for a one basis point parallel increase in the swap curve.
Option risk (implied volatility) – Change in market value for a one percent parallel increase in the swaption volatility.
Option risk (prepayment speeds) – Change in market value for a one percent increase in prepayment speeds.
Basis risk (spread to swap curve) – Change in market value for a one basis point parallel increase in the spread to the swap curve.
Basis risk (mortgage spread) – Change in market value for a one basis point increase in mortgage rates.
Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago (Dollars in tables in millions except per share amounts unless otherwise indicated)
As of SeptemberJune 30, 2018, our sensitivity to changes in implied volatility was $(2) million. At December 31, 2017, our sensitivity to changes in implied volatility was $(1) million. At December 31, 2016, our sensitivity to changes in implied volatility was $(1)$(2) million. These sensitivities are limited in that they do not incorporate other risks, including but not limited to, non-parallel changes in yield curves, prepayment speeds, and basis risk related to differences between the swap and the other curves. Option positions embedded in our mortgage assets and callable debt impact our yield curve risk profile, such that swap curve changes significantly greater than one basis point cannot be linearly interpolated from the table above.
(Dollars in tables in millions except per share amounts unless otherwise indicated)
Duration of equity is another measure to express interest rate sensitivity. We report the results of our duration of equity calculations to the FHFA each quarter. We measure duration of equity in a base case using the actual yield curve as of a specified date and then shock it with an instantaneous shift of the entire curve. The following table presents the duration of equity reported by us to the FHFA in accordance with the FHFA's guidance, which prescribes that down and up interest-rate shocks equal 200 basis points. The results are shown in years of duration equity.
| | | | September 30, 2017 | | December 31, 2016 | | Duration of equity |
Scenario as of | | Down 200 bps | | Base | | Up 200 bps | | Down 200 bps | | Base | | Up 200 bps | | Down 200 bps | | Base | | Up 200 bps |
Duration of equity | | 2.6 | | 1.1 | | 1.7 | | 2.3 | | 1.3 | | 1.8 | |
June 30, 2018 | | | 1.8 | | 1.3 | | 2.1 |
December 31, 2017 | | | 2.9 | | 1.2 | | 2.2 |
As of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2018, on a U.S. GAAP basis, our fair value surplus (relative to book value) was $385$325 million, and our market value of equity to book value of equity ratio was 107%106%, compared to $388$371 million and 108%107% at December 31, 2016.2017. Our market to book value of total capital for regulatory risk-based capital purposes differs from this GAAP calculation, as discussed in Note 11 - Capital and Mandatorily Redeemable Capital Stock (MRCS) to the financial statements.
