Schedule of Derivative Instruments in Statement of Financial Position, Fair Value
The table below summarizes the carrying value of hedged assets and liabilities that are designated and qualifying in fair value hedging relationships along with the cumulative amount of fair value hedging adjustments included in the carrying value that have been recorded in the current hedging relationships. These fair value hedging adjustments are open basis adjustments that are not subject to amortization as long as the hedging relationship remains designated.

(1)Increase (decrease) to carrying value.
(2)At June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the cumulative fair value adjustments remaining on long-term debt and available-for-sale debt securities from discontinued hedging relationships resulted in an increase in the related liability of $1.0 billion and $3.7 billion and a decrease in the related asset of $68 million and $69 million, which are being amortized over the remaining contractual life of the de-designated hedged items.
(3)These amounts include the amortized cost of the prepayable financial assets used to designate hedging relationships in which the hedged item is the last layer expected to be remaining at the end of the hedging relationship (i.e. last-of-layer hedging relationship). At June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the amortized cost of the closed portfolios used in these hedging relationships was $26.8 billion and $34.6 billion, of which $7.0 billion was designated in the last-of-layer hedging relationship at both dates. At June 30, 2021, the cumulative adjustment associated with these hedging relationships was a decrease of $99 million. At December 31, 2020, the cumulative adjustment was insignificant.
(4)Carrying value represents amortized cost.
(5)Represents hedging activities related to certain commodities inventory.
Cash Flow and Net Investment Hedges The table below summarizes certain information related to cash flow hedges and net investment hedges for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020. Of the $273 million after-tax net loss ($365 million pretax) on derivatives in accumulated OCI at June 30, 2021, gains of $244 million after-tax ($330 million pretax) related to both open and terminated cash flow hedges are expected to be reclassified into earnings in the next 12 months. These net gains reclassified into earnings are expected to primarily increase net interest income related to the respective hedged items. For terminated cash flow hedges, the time period over which the majority of the forecasted transactions are hedged is approximately 3 years, with a maximum length of time for certain forecasted transactions of 15 years.

Offsetting Assets The following table presents derivative instruments included in derivative assets and liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 by primary risk (e.g., interest rate risk) and the platform, where applicable,
on which these derivatives are transacted. Balances are presented on a gross basis, prior to the application of counterparty and cash collateral netting. Total gross derivative assets and liabilities are adjusted on an aggregate basis to take into consideration the effects of legally enforceable master netting agreements, which include reducing the balance for counterparty netting and cash collateral received or paid.

on which these derivatives are transacted. Balances are presented on a gross basis, prior to the application of counterparty and cash collateral netting. Total gross derivative assets and liabilities are adjusted on an aggregate basis to take into consideration the effects of legally enforceable master netting agreements, which include reducing the balance for counterparty netting and cash collateral received or paid.
