Investment Securities | INVESTMENTS FHLBank's investment portfolio consists of interest-bearing deposits, securities purchased under agreements to resell, Federal funds sold, and debt securities. Interest-Bearing Deposits, Securities Purchased under Agreements to Resell, and Federal Funds Sold: FHLBank invests in interest-bearing deposits, securities purchased under agreements to resell, and Federal funds sold to provide short-term liquidity. These investments are generally transacted with counterparties that have received a credit rating of triple-B or greater (investment grade) by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization (NRSRO). These may differ from internal ratings of the investments, if applicable. As of September 30, 2020, approximately 70 percent of these overnight investments were with counterparties not rated by an NRSRO. All transactions with unrated counterparties are secured transactions. Federal funds sold are unsecured loans that are generally transacted on an overnight term. Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) regulations include a limit on the amount of unsecured credit FHLBank may extend to a counterparty. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, all investments in interest-bearing deposits and Federal funds sold were repaid or expected to be repaid according to the contractual terms. No allowance for credit losses was recorded for these assets as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. Carrying values of interest-bearing deposits and Federal funds sold exclude accrued interest receivable of $83,000 and $3,000, respectively, as of September 30, 2020, and $589,000 and $30,000, respectively, as of December 31, 2019. Securities purchased under agreements to resell are short-term and are structured such that they are evaluated regularly to determine if the market value of the underlying securities decreases below the market value required as collateral (i.e., subject to collateral maintenance provisions). If so, the counterparty must place an equivalent amount of additional securities as collateral or remit an equivalent amount of cash, generally by the next business day. Based upon the collateral held as security and collateral maintenance provisions with its counterparties, FHLBank determined that no allowance for credit losses was needed for its securities purchased under agreements to resell as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. The carrying value of securities purchased under agreements excludes accrued interest receivable of $15,000 and $424,000 as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. Debt Securities: FHLBank invests in debt securities, which are classified as either trading, available-for-sale, or held-to-maturity. FHLBank is prohibited by FHFA regulations from purchasing certain higher-risk securities, such as equity securities and debt instruments that are not investment quality, other than certain investments targeted at low-income persons or communities and instruments that experienced credit deterioration after their purchase by FHLBank. FHLBank's debt securities include the following major security types, which are based on the issuer and the risk characteristics of the security: ▪ Certificates of deposit - unsecured negotiable promissory notes issued by banks; ▪ U.S. Treasury obligations - sovereign debt of the United States; ▪ GSE obligations - debentures issued by other FHLBanks, Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae), Federal Farm Credit Bank and Federal Agricultural Mortgage Corporation. GSE securities are not guaranteed by the U.S. government; ▪ State or local housing agency obligations - municipal bonds issued by housing finance agencies; ▪ U.S. obligation MBS - single-family MBS issued by Government National Mortgage Association (Ginnie Mae), which are guaranteed by the U.S. government; and ▪ GSE MBS - single-family and multifamily MBS issued by Fannie Mae and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac).

FHLBank adopted new accounting guidance for the measurement of credit losses on financial instruments on January 1, 2020. See Note 2 for additional information. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, FHLBank did not recognize a provision for credit losses associated with available-for-sale investments or held-to-maturity investments. To evaluate investment securities for credit loss as of September 30, 2020, FHLBank employed the following methodologies, based on the type of security. FHLBank's available-for-sale and held-to-maturity securities are principally certificates of deposit, U.S. obligations, GSE obligations, state or local housing agency obligations, and MBS issued by Ginnie Mae, Freddie Mac, and Fannie Mae that are backed by single-family or multifamily mortgage loans. FHLBank only purchases securities considered investment quality. As of September 30, 2020, all of FHLBank's available-for-sale securities and held-to-maturity securities were rated single-A or above by an NRSRO, based on the lowest long-term credit rating for each security. These may differ from any internal ratings of the securities, if applicable. |
