Investments in Debt and Marketable Equity Securities (and Certain Trading Assets) Disclosure [Text Block] | Investments Interest-Bearing Deposits, Securities Purchased under Agreements to Resell, and Federal Funds Sold We invest 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, or whose guarantors have received, a credit rating of triple-B or greater (investment grade) by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization (NRSRO), or the equivalent. At December 31, 2022 and 2021, none of these investments were made to counterparties or, if applicable, guaranteed by entities rated below single-A. Securities purchased under agreements to resell are short-term and are structured such that they are evaluated daily 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 amount of additional securities as collateral or remit an equivalent amount of cash sufficient to comply with collateral maintenance provisions, generally by the next business day. Based upon the collateral held as security and collateral maintenance provisions with our counterparties, we determined that no allowance for credit losses was needed for our securities purchased under agreements to resell at December 31, 2022 and 2021. Federal funds sold are unsecured loans that are transacted on an overnight term or short-term basis. FHFA regulations include a limit on the amount of unsecured credit we may extend to a counterparty. All investments in interest-bearing deposits and federal funds sold outstanding as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, have been repaid according to the contractual terms. No allowance for credit losses was recorded for these assets at December 31, 2022 and 2021. Debt Securities We invest in debt securities, which are classified as either trading, available-for-sale, or held-to-maturity. We are prohibited by FHFA regulations from investing in 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 we are not required to divest instruments that experience credit deterioration after their purchase.

Amortized cost excludes accrued interest receivable Transfers and Sales of Available-for-Sale Securities and Held-to-Maturity Securities During each of the three years ended December 31, 2022, we sold held-to-maturity MBS that had less than 15 percent of the acquired par value at the time of the sale. Such sales are treated as maturities for the purposes of security classification. These sales do not impact our ability and intent to hold the remaining investments classified as held-to-maturity through their stated maturity dates. These sales were as follows: • In 2022, we sold securities with an amortized cost of $10.4 million and a realized gain of $20 thousand; • In 2021, we sold securities with an amortized cost of $5.6 million and a realized gain of $283 thousand; and • In 2020, we sold securities with an amortized cost of $133.2 million and realized a gain of $41.2 million. During 2020 we adopted a provision of the Accounting Standards Update titled Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting which provided a one-time election to sell, transfer, or both sell and transfer debt securities classified as held-to-maturity that reference a rate affected by reference rate reform and that were classified as held-to-maturity before January 1, 2020. Upon adopting this provision, we sold certain held-to-maturity private-label MBS which had an amortized cost of $82.2 million and realized a net gain of $6.2 million. Gains and Losses on Sales. We compute gains and losses on sales of investment securities using the specific identification method and include these gains and losses in other income (loss). The following table summarizes the proceeds from sale and gains and losses on sales of securities for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020. Table 5.7 - Proceeds and Gains (Losses) from Sales of Investment Securities (dollars in thousands) For the Years Ended December 31, 2022 2021 2020 Available-for-Sale Securities Proceeds from sale $ 142,733 $ — $ 187,366 Amortized cost, net of allowance for credit losses 142,735 — 156,783 Gross realized gains from sale $ 124 $ — $ 30,948 Gross realized losses from sale (126) — (365) Realized net (loss) gain from sale $ (2) $ — $ 30,583 Held-to-Maturity Securities Proceeds from sale $ 10,405 $ 5,883 $ 262,850 Carrying value 10,385 5,600 176,293 Noncredit losses recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income — — 39,144 Realized net gain from sale $ 20 $ 283 $ 47,413 Allowance for Credit Losses on Available-for-Sale Securities and Held-to-Maturity Securities We evaluate available-for-sale and held-to-maturity investment securities for credit losses on a quarterly basis. Our available-for-sale and held-to-maturity securities are principally debt securities of GSE or U.S. government-owned corporations, supranational institutions, and state or local housing finance agency obligations, and MBS issued by Ginnie Mae, Freddie Mac, and Fannie Mae that are backed by single-family or multifamily mortgage loans. We only purchase investment-grade securities. At December 31, 2022 and 2021, all 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. We evaluate individual available-for-sale securities for impairment by comparing the security’s fair value to its amortized cost. Impairment may exist when the fair value of the investment is less than its amortized cost (i.e. in an unrealized loss position). At December 31, 2022 and 2021, certain available-for-sale securities were in an unrealized loss position. These losses are considered temporary as we expect to recover the entire amortized cost basis on these available-for-sale investment securities and we neither intend to sell these securities nor do we consider 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. Further, we have not experienced any material payment defaults on the instruments. We evaluate held-to-maturity securities for impairment on a collective or pooled basis unless an individual assessment is deemed necessary because the securities do not possess similar risk characteristics. We have not experienced and do not anticipate any payment defaults on these securities. Based on our assessment of the credit worthiness of the issuers or guarantors, no allowance for credit losses was recorded on available-for-sale securities or held-to-maturity securities at December 31, 2022 or 2021. Table 5.8 presents a roll-forward of the allowance for credit losses on available-for-sale securities and held-to-maturity securities for the year ended December 31, 2020. Table 5.8 - Allowance for Credit Losses on Debt Securities (dollars in thousands) For the Year Ended December 31, 2020 Available-for-Sale Held-to-Maturity Balance at beginning of year $ — $ — Adjustments for cumulative effect of change in accounting principle (1) — 5,308 Transfers 634 (634) Reduction of provision for credit losses due to sales of securities (126) (3,205) Reduction of provision for credit losses (143) (1,469) Charge-offs (365) — Balance at end of year $ — $ — _________________________ (1) We adopted new accounting guidance for the measurement of credit losses on financial instruments on January 1, 2020. Upon adoption we recorded through a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings an increase in the allowance for credit losses associated with held-to-maturity private-label MBS. |
