(1)Amounts are recorded in interest expense in the Consolidated Statement of Income.

(2)For the three months ended March 31, 2022, and 2021, the derivative amount includes gains (losses) of $(21) million and $(34) million in interest expense, $14 million and $8 million in market making and similar activities, and $(2) million and $(2) million in accumulated other comprehensive income (OCI), respectively. Line item totals are in the Consolidated Statement of Income and on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

(3)Amounts are recorded in interest income in the Consolidated Statement of Income.

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.



Designated Fair Value Hedged Assets and Liabilities

	March 31, 2022				December 31, 2021
(Dollars in millions)	Carrying Value		Cumulative Fair Value Adjustments (1)		Carrying Value		Cumulative Fair Value Adjustments (1)

Long-term debt (2)	$	181,212	$	(6,968)	$	181,745	$	3,987
Available-for-sale debt securities (2, 3, 4)	203,697		(10,118)		209,038		(2,294)
Trading account assets (5)	10,601		283		2,067		32

(1)Increase (decrease) to carrying value.

(2)At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, 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 $1.3 billion and $1.5 billion and a decrease in the related asset of $4.2 billion and $1.0 billion, 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 March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the amortized cost of the closed portfolios used in these hedging relationships was $19.5 billion and $21.1 billion, of which $6.2 billion and $6.9 billion was designated in the last-of-layer hedging relationship. At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 the cumulative adjustment associated with these hedging relationships was a decrease of $370 million and $172 million.

(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 months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021. Of the $7.1 billion after-tax net loss ($9.4 billion pretax) on derivatives in accumulated OCI at March 31, 2022, losses of $1.0 billion after-tax ($1.4 billion pretax) related to both open and terminated cash flow hedges are expected to be reclassified into earnings in the next 12 months. These net losses reclassified into earnings are expected to primarily decrease 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 three years, with a maximum length of time for certain forecasted transactions of 14 years.

Offsetting Assets

The following table presents derivative instruments included in derivative assets and liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 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.
