Basis of Presentation | |
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary have been included. All such adjustments consist of normal recurring accruals. The presentation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2014. The unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston's audited financial statements and related notes in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) on March 24, 2014 (the 2013 Annual Report). Unless otherwise indicated or the context requires otherwise, all references in this discussion to “the Bank,” "we," "us," "our," or similar references mean the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston. |

Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Guidance | |
Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures. On June 12, 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued amended guidance for repurchase-to-maturity transactions and provided guidance on accounting for repurchase financing arrangements. This amendment requires secured borrowing accounting treatment for repurchase-to-maturity transactions and provides guidance on accounting for repurchase financing arrangements. In addition, this guidance requires additional disclosures, particularly on transfers accounted for as sales that are economically similar to repurchase agreements and on the nature of collateral pledged in repurchase agreements accounted for as secured borrowings. The guidance will be effective for the first interim or annual period beginning after December 15, 2014, and early adoption is prohibited. The changes in accounting for transactions outstanding on the effective date are required to be presented as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. The adoption of the new guidance is not expected to have a significant impact on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. | |
Revenue from Contracts with Customers. On May 28, 2014, the FASB issued guidance for accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers which guidance will supersede most current revenue recognition guidance regarding the measurement of revenue and timing of when it is recognized. The guidance provides for the recognition of revenue in an amount that the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for goods or services. In addition, this guidance amends the existing requirements for the recognition of a gain or loss on the transfer of non-financial assets that are not in a contract with a customer. This guidance applies to all contracts with customers except those that are within the scope of other standards, such as financial instruments, guarantees (other than product or service warranties), insurance contracts, or lease contracts. | |
The guidance will be effective for the interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and early adoption is not permitted. The guidance provides the entities with the option of using the following two methods upon adoption: a full retrospective method, retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented; or a transition method, retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying this guidance recognized at the date of initial application. We are currently assessing the impact that this guidance will have on our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. | |
Reclassification of Residential Real Estate Collateralized Consumer Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure. On January 17, 2014, the FASB issued guidance clarifying when consumer mortgage loans collateralized by real estate should be reclassified to REO. Specifically, such collateralized mortgage loans should be reclassified to REO when either the creditor obtains legal title to the residential real estate property upon completion of a foreclosure, or the borrower conveys all interest in the residential real estate property to the creditor to satisfy that loan through completion of a deed in lieu of foreclosure or through a similar legal agreement. This guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014, and may be adopted under either the modified retrospective transition method or the prospective transition method. We are currently assessing the impact the amended guidance will have on our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. | |
Framework for Adversely Classifying Loans, Other REO, and Other Assets and Listing Assets for Special Mention. On April 9, 2012, the FHFA issued Advisory Bulletin 2012-02, Framework for Adversely Classifying Loans, Other REO, and Other Assets and Listing Assets for Special Mention (AB 2012-02). AB 2012-02 establishes a standard and uniform methodology for adversely classifying loans, other REO, and certain other assets (excluding investment securities), and prescribes the timing of asset charge-offs based on these classifications. The guidance is generally consistent with the Uniform Retail Credit Classification and Account Management Policy issued by the federal banking regulators in June 2000. The adverse classification requirements were implemented as of January 1, 2014, and did not have a material effect on our results of operations or financial condition. The charge-off requirements will be implemented no later than January 1, 2015, and are not expected to have a material effect on our results of operations or financial condition. |

Other-Than-Temporary Impairment | |||||||||||||||||
Available-for-Sale Securities | |||||||||||||||||
We determined that none of our available-for-sale securities were other-than-temporarily impaired at June 30, 2014. At June 30, 2014, we held certain available-for-sale securities in an unrealized loss position. These unrealized losses reflect the impact of normal yield and spread fluctuations attendant with security markets. These unrealized losses are considered temporary as we expect to recover the entire amortized cost basis on these available-for-sale securities in an unrealized loss position and neither intend to sell these securities nor is it more likely than not that we will be required to sell these securities before the anticipated recovery of each security's remaining amortized cost basis. Additionally, there have been no shortfalls of principal or interest on any available-for-sale security. Regarding securities that were in an unrealized loss position as of June 30, 2014: | |||||||||||||||||
• | Debentures issued by a supranational institution that were in an unrealized loss position as of June 30, 2014, to return contractual principal and interest based on our review and analysis of independent third-party credit reports on the supranational institution, and the supranational institution's triple-A (or equivalent) rating by each of the nationally recognized statistical rating organizations (NRSROs) that rates it. | ||||||||||||||||
• | Debentures issued by U.S. government-owned corporations are not obligations of the U.S. government and not guaranteed by the U.S. government. However, these securities are rated at the same level as the U.S. government by the NRSROs. These ratings reflect the U.S. government's implicit support of the government-owned corporation as well as the entity's underlying business and financial risk. | ||||||||||||||||
• | The probability of default on debt issued by the Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac) is remote given their status as GSEs and their support from the U.S. government. | ||||||||||||||||
• | Our U.S. government-guaranteed securities are MBS issued by the Government National Mortgage Association (Ginnie Mae). The strength of Ginnie Mae's guarantees as a direct obligation from the U.S. government is sufficient to protect us from losses based on current expectations. | ||||||||||||||||
• | Agency MBS. For MBS issued by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, which we sometimes refer to as agency MBS in this report, the strength of the issuers' guarantees through direct obligation or support from the U.S. government is sufficient to protect us from losses based on current expectations. | ||||||||||||||||
Held-to-Maturity Securities | |||||||||||||||||
HFA Securities. We have reviewed our investments in HFA securities and have determined that unrealized losses reflect the impact of normal market yield and spread fluctuations and illiquidity in the credit markets. We have determined that all unrealized losses are temporary given the creditworthiness of the issuers and the underlying collateral, including an assessment of past payment history (no shortfalls of principal or interest), property vacancy rates, debt service ratios, over-collateralization and other credit enhancement, and third-party bond insurance as applicable. As of June 30, 2014, none of our held-to-maturity investments in HFA securities were rated below investment grade by an NRSRO. Because the decline in market value is attributable to changes in interest rates and credit spreads and to illiquidity in this market and not to a significant deterioration in the fundamental credit quality of these obligations, and because we do not intend to sell the investments nor is it more likely than not that we will be required to sell the investments before recovery of the amortized cost basis, we do not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at June 30, 2014. | |||||||||||||||||
Agency MBS. For agency MBS, we determined that the strength of the issuers' guarantees through direct obligation or support from the U.S. government is sufficient to protect us from losses based on current expectations. Additionally, there have been no shortfalls of principal or interest on any such security. As a result, we have determined that, as of June 30, 2014, all of the gross unrealized losses on such MBS are temporary. We do not believe that the declines in market value of these securities are attributable to credit quality, and because we do not intend to sell the investments, nor is it more likely than not that we will be required to sell the investments before recovery of the amortized cost basis, we do not consider any of these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at June 30, 2014. | |||||||||||||||||
Private-Label Residential MBS and ABS Backed by Home Equity Loans. Our evaluation includes estimating the projected cash flows that we are likely to collect based on an assessment of available information, including the structure of the applicable security and certain assumptions to determine whether we will recover the entire amortized cost basis of the security, such as: | |||||||||||||||||
• | the remaining payment terms for the security; | ||||||||||||||||
• | prepayment speeds; | ||||||||||||||||
• | default rates; | ||||||||||||||||
• | loss severity on the collateral supporting each security based on underlying loan-level borrower and loan characteristics; | ||||||||||||||||
• | expected housing price changes; and | ||||||||||||||||
• | interest-rate assumptions. | ||||||||||||||||
To assess whether the entire amortized cost basis of private-label residential MBS will be recovered, cash-flow analyses for each of our private-label residential MBS were performed. These analyses use two third-party models. | |||||||||||||||||
The first third-party model considers borrower characteristics and the particular attributes of the loans underlying our securities, in conjunction with assumptions about current home prices and future changes in home prices and interest rates, producing monthly projections of prepayments, defaults, and loss severities. A significant input to the first model is the forecast of future housing-price changes, based on an assessment of individual housing markets for the relevant states and core-based statistical areas (CBSA), as defined by the United States Office of Management and Budget. The FHLBank System governance committee (the OTTI Governance Committee) developed a short-term housing price forecast with projected changes ranging from a decrease of 4.0 percent to an increase of 9.0 percent over the 12-month period beginning April 1, 2014. For the vast majority of markets, the short-term forecast has changes from a decrease of 2.0 percent to an increase of 4.0 percent. | |||||||||||||||||
Previously, home price projections following the short-term period were projected to recover using one of five different recovery paths. Beginning with this quarter, we have projected a different recovery path for each relevant geographic area based on an internally developed mean reversion and moving average framework that we have developed using historical data. | |||||||||||||||||
The month-by-month projections of future loan level performance are derived from the first model to determine projected prepayments, defaults, and loss severities. These projections are then input into a second model that then allocates the cash flows and losses among the various classes in the securitization structure in accordance with the cash-flow and loss-allocation rules prescribed by the securitization structure. In a securitization in which the credit enhancement for the senior securities is derived from the presence of subordinate securities, losses are generally allocated first to the subordinate securities until their principal balance is reduced to zero. The projected cash flows are based on a number of assumptions and expectations and the results of these models can vary significantly with changes in assumptions and expectations. The scenario of cash flows determined based on the model approach described above reflects a best estimate scenario and includes a base case current-to-trough housing price forecast and a base case housing price recovery path described in the prior paragraph. | |||||||||||||||||
For those securities for which an other-than-temporary impairment was determined to have occurred during the three months ended June 30, 2014, the following table presents a summary of the average projected values over the remaining lives of the securities for the significant inputs used to measure the amount of the credit loss recognized in earnings, as well as related current credit enhancement. Credit enhancement is defined as the percentage of subordinated tranches, over-collateralization, and other credit enhancement, if any, in a security structure that will generally absorb losses before we will experience a credit loss on the security. The calculated averages represent the dollar-weighted averages of all the private-label residential MBS in each category shown (dollars in thousands). | |||||||||||||||||

Allowance for Credit Losses | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
An allowance for credit losses is a valuation allowance separately established for each identified portfolio segment, if necessary, to provide for probable losses inherent in our portfolio as of the statement of condition date. To the extent necessary, an allowance for credit losses for off-balance-sheet credit exposure is recorded as a liability. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
For additional information see Item 8 — Financial Statements and Supplementary Data — Note 10 — Allowance for Credit Losses in the 2013 Annual Report. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
Secured Member Credit Products | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
We manage our credit exposure to secured member credit products through an integrated approach that generally includes establishing a credit limit for each borrower, includes an ongoing review of each borrower's financial condition, and is coupled with collateral and lending policies that are intended to limit risk of loss while balancing borrowers' needs for a reliable source of funding. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
We continue to evaluate and make changes to our collateral guidelines based on market conditions. At June 30, 2014, and December 31, 2013, none of our secured member credit products outstanding were past due, on nonaccrual status, or considered impaired. In addition, there were no troubled debt restructurings related to credit products during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
Based upon the collateral held as security, our credit extension and collateral policies, management's credit analysis, and the repayment history on secured member credit products, we have not recorded any allowance for credit losses on our secured member credit products at June 30, 2014, and December 31, 2013. At June 30, 2014, and December 31, 2013, no liability to reflect an allowance for credit losses for off-balance-sheet credit exposures was recorded. See Note 18 — Commitments and Contingencies for additional information on our off-balance-sheet credit exposure. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

Government Mortgage Loans Held for Portfolio | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
Based on our assessment of our servicers for our government loans, there is no allowance for credit losses for the government mortgage loan portfolio as of June 30, 2014, and December 31, 2013. In addition, these mortgage loans are not placed on nonaccrual status due to the government guarantee or insurance on these loans and the contractual obligation of the loan servicers to repurchase their related loans when certain criteria are met. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
For additional information on our secured member credit exposure to credit products, see Item 8 — Financial Statements and Supplementary Data — Note 10 — Allowance for Credit Losses in the 2013 Annual Report. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
Conventional Mortgage Loans Held for Portfolio | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
Our methodology for determining our loan loss reserve consists of estimating loan loss severity using a third-party model incorporating delinquency to default transition performance of the loans, relevant market conditions affecting the performance of the loans, and portfolio level credit protection, particularly credit enhancements. Our inputs to the third-party model consist of loan-related characteristics, such as credit scores, occupancy statuses, loan-to-value ratios, property types, and locations. We update our view of the loan transition performance and market conditions quarterly and periodically adjust our methodology to reflect the changes in the loans’ performances and the market. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

For the six months ended June 30, 2014, and 2013, there were no reclassifications from accumulated other comprehensive loss into earnings as a result of the discontinuance of cash-flow hedges because the original forecasted transactions were not expected to occur by the end of the originally specified time period or within a two-month period thereafter. As of June 30, 2014, the maximum length of time over which we are hedging our exposure to the variability in future cash flows for forecasted transactions is eight years. | |||||||||||||||||
As of June 30, 2014, the amount of deferred net losses on derivatives accumulated in other comprehensive loss, related to cash-flow hedges expected to be reclassified to earnings during the next 12 months, is $18.4 million. | |||||||||||||||||
Managing Credit Risk on Derivatives. We enter into derivatives that we clear (cleared derivatives) with a derivatives clearing organization (DCO), which is also our counterparty on such derivatives, and derivatives that are not cleared with a DCO (bilateral derivatives). Certain of our bilateral derivatives master-netting agreements contain provisions that require us to post additional collateral with our bilateral derivatives counterparties if our credit ratings are lowered. Under the terms that govern such agreements, if our credit rating is lowered by Moody's Investor Service (Moody's) or Standard and Poor’s Rating Service | |||||||||||||||||
(S&P) to a certain level, we are required to deliver additional collateral on bilateral derivatives in a net liability position. In the event of a split between such credit ratings, the lower rating governs. The aggregate fair value of all bilateral derivatives with these provisions that were in a net-liability position (before cash collateral and related accrued interest) at June 30, 2014, was $592.4 million, for which we had delivered collateral with a post-haircut value of $438.7 million in accordance with the terms of the master-netting agreements. The following table sets forth the post-haircut value of incremental collateral that certain bilateral derivatives counterparties could have required us to deliver based on incremental credit rating downgrades at June 30, 2014 (dollars in thousands). | |||||||||||||||||

For cleared derivatives, the DCO determines initial margin requirements. We note that we clear our trades via futures commission merchants (FCMs), and our FCMs may require us to post margin in excess of DCO requirements based on our credit or other considerations, including but not limited to, credit rating downgrades. We were not required to post any such excess margin by our FCMs at June 30, 2014. | |||||||||||||||||
Offsetting of Certain Derivatives. We present derivatives, related cash collateral, including initial and variation margin, received or pledged and associated accrued interest, on a net basis by FCMs and/or by counterparty. | |||||||||||||||||

We are subject to capital requirements under our capital plan, the Federal Home Loan Bank Act of 1932, as amended | |||||||||||||||||
(the FHLBank Act), and FHFA regulations: | |||||||||||||||||
1 | Risk-based capital. We are required to maintain at all times permanent capital, defined as Class B stock, including Class B stock classified as mandatorily redeemable capital stock, and retained earnings, in an amount at least equal to the sum of our credit-risk capital requirement, market-risk capital requirement, and operations-risk capital requirement, calculated in accordance with FHFA rules and regulations, referred to herein as the risk-based capital requirement. Only permanent capital satisfies the risk-based capital requirement. | ||||||||||||||||
2 | Total regulatory capital. We are required to maintain at all times a total capital-to-assets ratio of at least four percent. Total regulatory capital is the sum of permanent capital, the amount paid-in for Class A stock, the amount of 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. We have never issued Class A stock. | ||||||||||||||||
3 | Leverage capital. We are required to maintain at all times a leverage capital-to-assets ratio of at least five percent. A leverage capital-to-assets ratio is defined as permanent capital weighted 1.5 times divided by total assets. | ||||||||||||||||
The FHFA may require us to maintain a greater amount of permanent capital than is required as defined by the risk-based capital requirements. | |||||||||||||||||
The following tables demonstrate our compliance with our regulatory capital requirements at June 30, 2014, and December 31, 2013 (dollars in thousands): | |||||||||||||||||

Qualified Defined Benefit Multiemployer Plan. We participate in the Pentegra Defined Benefit Plan for Financial Institutions (the Pentegra Defined Benefit Plan), a funded, tax-qualified, noncontributory defined-benefit pension plan.

The plan covers substantially all of our officers and employees. | |||||||||||||||||
Qualified Defined Contribution Plan. We also participate in the Pentegra Defined Contribution Plan for Financial | |||||||||||||||||
Institutions, a tax-qualified defined contribution plan. The plan covers substantially all of our officers and employees.

Our matching contributions are charged to compensation and benefits expense. | |||||||||||||||||
Nonqualified Defined Contribution Plan. We also maintain the Thrift Benefit Equalization Plan, a nonqualified, unfunded deferred compensation plan covering certain of our senior officers and directors.

Commitments and Contingencies | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
Joint and Several Liability. COs are backed by the financial resources of the 12 district Federal Home Loan Banks (FHLBanks or FHLBank System). The FHFA has authority to require any FHLBank to repay all or a portion of the principal and interest on COs for which another FHLBank is the primary obligor. No FHLBank has ever been asked or required to repay the principal or interest on any CO on behalf of another FHLBank. We evaluate the financial condition of the other FHLBanks primarily based on known regulatory actions, publicly available financial information, and individual long-term credit-rating action as of each period-end presented. Based on this evaluation, as of June 30, 2014, and through the filing of this report, we do not believe that it is reasonably likely that we will be required to repay the principal or interest on any CO on behalf of another FHLBank. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
We have considered applicable FASB guidance and determined it is not necessary to recognize a liability for the fair value of our joint and several liability for all of the COs. The joint and several obligation is mandated by FHFA regulations and is not the result of an arms-length transaction among the FHLBanks. 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 obligation. 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 the FHLBanks' COs, the FHLBanks' joint and several obligation is excluded from the initial recognition and measurement provisions. Accordingly, we have not recognized a liability for our joint and several obligation related to other FHLBanks' COs at June 30, 2014, and December 31, 2013. The par amounts of other FHLBanks' outstanding COs for which we are jointly and severally liable totaled $750.3 billion and $727.5 billion at June 30, 2014, and December 31, 2013, respectively. See Note 12 — Consolidated Obligations for additional information. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

-1 | The amount of standby letters of credit outstanding excludes commitments to issue standby letters of credit that expire within one year totaling $144.7 million as of June 30, 2014. Also excluded are commitments to issue standby letters of credit that expire within one year totaling $15.7 million at December 31, 2013. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
-2 | Commitments for unused line-of-credit advances are generally for periods of up to 12 months. Since many of these commitments are not expected to be drawn upon, the total commitment amount does not necessarily indicate future liquidity requirements. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Standby Letters of Credit. A standby letter of credit is a financing arrangement pursuant to which we agree for a fee to fund the associated obligation to a third-party beneficiary should the primary obligor fail to fund such obligation. If we are required to make payment for a beneficiary's draw, the payment amount is converted into a collateralized advance to the primary obligor. Standby letters of credit are fully collateralized at the time of issuance. Based on our credit analyses and collateral requirements, we have not deemed it necessary to record any additional liability on these commitments. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
The original terms of our outstanding standby letters of credit range from final expiries in 16 days to 20 years. Our unearned fees for the value of the guarantees related to standby letters of credit are recorded in other liabilities and totaled $737,000 and $562,000 at June 30, 2014, and December 31, 2013, respectively. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
Commitments to Invest in Mortgage Loans. Commitments to invest in mortgage loans are generally for periods not to exceed 45 business days. Such commitments are recorded as derivatives at their fair values on the statement of condition. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
Pledged Collateral. We have pledged securities, as collateral, related to derivatives. See Note 10 — Derivatives and Hedging Activities for additional information about our pledged collateral and other credit-risk-related contingent features. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
Legal Proceedings. We are subject to various legal proceedings arising in the normal course of business from time to time. Management does not anticipate that the ultimate liability, if any, arising out of these matters will have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. |

Related Parties. We define related parties as members with 10 percent or more of the voting interests of our capital stock outstanding. Under the FHLBank Act and FHFA regulations, each member directorship is designated to one of the six states in our district. Each member eligible to vote is entitled to cast by ballot one vote for each share of stock that it was required to hold as of the record date, which is December 31, of the year prior to each election, subject to the limitation that no member may cast more votes than the average number of shares of our stock that are required to be held by all members located in such member's state. Eligible members are permitted to vote all their eligible shares for one candidate for each open member directorship in the state in which the member is located and for each open independent directorship. A nonmember stockholder is not entitled to cast votes for the election of directors unless it was a member as of the record date. At June 30, 2014, and December 31, 2013, no shareholder owned more than 10 percent of the total voting interests due to statutory limits on members' voting rights, therefore, we did not have any related parties. | |||||||||||||||||||||

Loans and Leases Receivable, Allowance for Loan Losses, Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' |
Our methodology for determining our loan loss reserve consists of estimating loan loss severity using a third-party model incorporating delinquency to default transition performance of the loans, relevant market conditions affecting the performance of the loans, and portfolio level credit protection, particularly credit enhancements. Our inputs to the third-party model consist of loan-related characteristics, such as credit scores, occupancy statuses, loan-to-value ratios, property types, and locations. We update our view of the loan transition performance and market conditions quarterly and periodically adjust our methodology to reflect the changes in the loans’ performances and the market. | |

For those securities for which an other-than-temporary impairment was determined to have occurred during the three months ended June 30, 2014, the following table presents a summary of the average projected values over the remaining lives of the securities for the significant inputs used to measure the amount of the credit loss recognized in earnings, as well as related current credit enhancement. Credit enhancement is defined as the percentage of subordinated tranches, over-collateralization, and other credit enhancement, if any, in a security structure that will generally absorb losses before we will experience a credit loss on the security.
