Derivative and Other Hedging Instruments | Derivative and Other Hedging InstrumentsWe hedge a portion of our interest rate risk primarily utilizing interest rate swaps, interest rate swaptions, U.S. Treasury securities and U.S. Treasury futures contracts. We utilize TBA securities primarily as a means of investing in the Agency securities market. For additional information regarding our derivative instruments and our overall risk management strategy, please refer to the discussion of derivative and other hedging instruments in Note 2.

Table excludes forward settling non-Agency securities totaling $0.4 billion fair value and $0.2 million net carrying value as of December 31, 2021. As of March 31, 2022, we had $2.6 billion notional value of centrally cleared credit default swaps ("CDS") outstanding that reference the Markit CDX Investment Grade Index, maturing in June 2027. Under the terms of our CDS, we pay fixed periodic payments equal to 1% of the notional value and we are entitled to receive payments for qualified credit events. As of March 31, 2022, the CDS had an amortized cost basis of $(35) million, a market value of $(42) million, and a carrying value of zero dollars, net of variation margin settlements posted by us. Pursuant to rules governing central clearing activities, we recognize variation margin settlements as a direct reduction of the carrying value of the CDS asset or liability.
