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 March 31, 2024, approximately 23 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. FHFA regulations include a limit on the amount of unsecured credit FHLBank may extend to a counterparty. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, 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 March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023. Carrying values of interest-bearing deposits and Federal funds sold exclude accrued interest receivable 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). 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 March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The carrying value of securities purchased under agreements to resell excludes accrued interest receivable 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, but FHLBank is not required to divest instruments that experience credit deterioration after their purchase. FHLBank's debt securities include the following major security types, which are based on the issuer and the risk characteristics of the security: ▪ U.S. Treasury obligations - sovereign debt of the United States; ▪ GSE debentures - 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).

As of March 31, 2024 and 2023, FHLBank did not recognize a provision for credit losses associated with available-for-sale investments or held-to-maturity investments. Although certain available-for-sale securities were in an unrealized loss position, these losses are considered temporary as FHLBank expects to recover the entire amortized cost basis on these available-for-sale investment securities. FHLBank neither intends to sell these securities nor considers it more likely than not that it will be required to sell these securities before its anticipated recovery of each security's remaining amortized cost basis. FHLBank's held-to-maturity and available-for-sale securities: (1) were all highly rated and/or had short remaining terms to maturity; (2) had not experienced, nor did FHLBank expect, any payment default on the instruments; (3) in the case of U.S. obligations, carry an explicit government guarantee such that FHLBank considers the risk of nonpayment to be zero; and (4) in the case of GSE debentures or MBS, the securities are purchased under an assumption that the issuers’ obligation to pay principal and interest on those securities will be honored, taking into account their status as GSEs. |
