Hedge accounting activity for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012 included the following:
Fair value hedges

The table below summarizes certain information related to fair value hedges for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012, including hedges of interest rate risk on long-term borrowings that were adjusted and redesignated as part of Bank of America's acquisition of Merrill Lynch. At redesignation, the fair value of the derivatives was negative. As the derivatives mature, their fair value will approach zero. As a result, ineffectiveness may occur and the fair value changes in the derivatives and the long-term borrowings being hedged may be directionally the same in certain scenarios. Based on a regression analysis, the derivatives continue to be highly effective at offsetting changes in the fair value of the long-term borrowings attributable to interest rate risk.
