NOTE 11: DERIVATIVES
(a)
 
DERIVATIVE PRODUCT TYPES AND RISK EXPOSURES
The majority of the Bank’s derivative contracts
 
are OTC transactions that are bilaterally
 
negotiated between the Bank and the
 
counterparty to the contract. The
remainder are exchange-traded contracts transacted
 
through organized and regulated exchanges
 
and consist primarily of options and futures.
The Bank’s derivative transactions relate to trading
 
and non-trading activities. The purpose of
 
derivatives held for non-trading activities
 
is primarily for managing
interest rate, foreign exchange, and equity risk
 
related to the Bank’s funding, lending,
 
investment, and other structural market risk
 
management activities. The
Bank’s risk management strategy for these
 
risks is discussed in shaded sections of
 
the “Managing Risk” section of the MD&A.
Where hedge accounting is applied, only
 
specific or a combination of risk components
 
are hedged, including benchmark interest
 
rate, foreign exchange rate,
and equity price components. All these risk
 
components are observable in the relevant
 
market environment and the change in the fair
 
value or the variability in
cash flows attributable to these risk components
 
can be reliably measured for hedged items.
 
The Bank also enters into derivative transactions
 
to economically
hedge certain exposures that do not otherwise
 
qualify for hedge accounting, or
 
where hedge accounting is not considered
 
feasible.
Where the derivatives are in hedge relationships,
 
the main sources of ineffectiveness can be attributed
 
to differences between hedging instruments and hedged
items:
 
Differences in fixed rates, when contractual coupons
 
of the fixed rate hedged items are designated;
 
CVA on the hedging derivatives; and
 
 
Mismatch in critical terms such as tenor and
 
timing of cash flows between hedging instruments
 
and hedged items.
To mitigate a portion of the ineffectiveness, the Bank designates the benchmark risk
 
component of contractual cash flows of
 
hedged items and executes hedging
derivatives with high-quality counterparties.
 
The majority of the Bank’s hedging derivatives
 
are collateralized.
Interest Rate Derivatives
Interest rate swaps are OTC contracts in
 
which two counterparties agree to exchange
 
cash flows over a period of time based
 
on rates applied to a specified
notional amount. This includes interest rate
 
swaps that are transacted and settled through
 
a clearing house which acts as a central
 
counterparty. A typical interest
rate swap would require one counterparty
 
to pay a fixed market interest rate in exchange
 
for a variable market interest rate determined
 
from time to time, with both
calculated on a specified notional amount.
 
No exchange of principal amount takes place.
Forward rate agreements are OTC contracts
 
that effectively fix a future interest rate for a
 
period of time. A typical forward rate agreement
 
provides that at a pre-
determined future date, a cash settlement
 
will be made between the counterparties based
 
upon the difference between a contracted rate and
 
a market rate to be
determined in the future, calculated on a
 
specified notional amount. No exchange of principal
 
amount takes place.
Interest rate options are contracts in
 
which the purchaser of an option pays the
 
writer of the option a premium to acquire
 
the right, but not the obligation, to buy
or sell a specified financial instrument
 
at a contracted price on a specified future date,
 
series of future dates, or within a specified
 
time period. The underlying
financial instrument will have a market price
 
which varies in response to changes in interest
 
rates. In managing the Bank’s interest rate
 
exposure, the Bank acts as
both a writer and purchaser of these options.
 
Options are transacted both OTC and through
 
exchanges.
Interest rate futures are standardized
 
contracts transacted on an exchange, with interest
 
bearing instruments as the underlying reference
 
assets. These
contracts differ from forward rate agreements in
 
that they are in standard amounts with standard
 
settlement dates and are transacted on an exchange.
The Bank uses interest rate swaps to hedge
 
its exposure to benchmark interest rate
 
risk by modifying the repricing or maturity characteristics
 
of existing and/or
forecast assets and liabilities, including funding
 
and investment activities. These swaps are
 
designated in either fair value hedges against
 
fixed rate
assets/liabilities or cash flow hedges against
 
floating rate assets/liabilities. For fair
 
value hedges, the Bank assesses and measures
 
the hedge effectiveness based
on the change in the fair value of the derivative
 
hedging instrument relative to the change
 
in the fair value of the hedged item. For
 
cash flow hedges, the Bank uses
a hypothetical derivative having terms that identically
 
match the critical terms of the hedged item
 
as the proxy for measuring
 
the change in cash flows of the
hedged item.
Foreign Exchange Derivatives
Foreign exchange forwards are OTC contracts
 
in which one counterparty contracts
 
with another to exchange a specified amount
 
of one currency for a specified
amount of a second currency, at a future date or range of dates.
Swap contracts comprise foreign exchange
 
swaps and cross-currency interest rate swaps.
 
Foreign exchange swaps are transactions
 
in which a foreign
currency is simultaneously purchased in
 
the spot market and sold in the forward
 
market, or vice-versa. Cross-currency interest
 
rate swaps are transactions in
which counterparties exchange principal and
 
interest cash flows in different currencies over
 
a period of time. These contracts
 
are used to manage either currency
or currency and interest rate risk exposures.
Foreign exchange contract options are OTC
 
or exchange-traded contracts in which
 
the purchaser of an option pays the writer
 
of the option a premium to
purchase the right, but not the obligation, to buy
 
or sell a specified amount of one currency
 
at a predetermined exchange rate on or
 
before a specified future date.
Foreign exchange futures contracts are
 
similar to foreign exchange forward contracts
 
but differ in that they are in standard currency amounts
 
with standard
settlement dates and are transacted on an exchange.
The Bank uses non-derivative instruments
 
such as foreign currency deposit liabilities
 
and derivative instruments such as
 
cross-currency swaps and foreign
exchange forwards to hedge its foreign currency
 
exposure. These hedging instruments
 
are designated in either net investment hedges
 
or cash flow hedges. For
net investment hedges, the Bank assesses and
 
measures the hedge effectiveness based on
 
the change in the fair value of the hedging
 
instrument relative to the
translation gains and losses on the net investment
 
in the foreign operation. For cash flow
 
hedges, the Bank assesses and measures
 
the hedge effectiveness
based on the change in the fair value of
 
the hedging instrument relative to the change
 
in the cash flows of the foreign currency denominated
 
asset/liability
attributable to foreign exchange risk, using the
 
hypothetical derivative method.
Credit Derivatives
The Bank uses credit derivatives such as
 
credit default swaps (CDS) and total return
 
swaps to manage risks in the Bank’s corporate loan
 
portfolio and other cash
instruments, as well as managing counterparty
 
credit risk on derivatives. Credit risk is the
 
risk of loss if a borrower or counterparty in
 
a transaction fails to meet its
agreed payment obligations. The Bank uses
 
credit derivatives to mitigate industry
 
concentration and borrower-specific exposure as
 
part of the Bank’s portfolio risk
management techniques. The credit, legal, and
 
other risks associated with these transactions
 
are controlled through well established
 
procedures. The Bank’s
policy is to enter into these transactions
 
with investment grade financial institutions.
 
Credit risk to these counterparties is managed
 
through the same approval,
limit, and monitoring processes that is
 
used for all counterparties to which the
 
Bank has credit exposure.
Credit derivatives are OTC contracts designed
 
to transfer the credit risk in an underlying
 
financial instrument (usually termed as a
 
reference asset) from one
counterparty to another. The most common credit derivatives
 
are CDS, which include contracts transacted
 
through clearing houses, and total return swaps.
 
In
CDS contracts, the CDS purchaser acquires
 
credit protection on a reference asset or group
 
of assets from a writer of CDS in exchange
 
for a premium. The
purchaser may pay the agreed premium
 
at inception or over a period of time.
 
The credit protection compensates the
 
purchaser for deterioration in value of the
reference asset or group of assets upon the occurrence
 
of certain credit events such as bankruptcy, or changes in specified
 
credit rating or credit index. Settlement
may be cash based or physical, requiring
 
the delivery of the reference asset to the
 
CDS writer. In total return swap contracts, one counterparty
 
agrees to pay or
receive from the other cash amounts based
 
on changes in the value of a reference
 
asset or group of assets, including any
 
returns such as interest earned on
these assets in exchange for amounts that are
 
based on prevailing market funding rates.
 
These cash settlements are made regardless of
 
whether there is a credit
event.
Other Derivatives
The Bank also transacts in equity and commodity
 
derivatives in both exchange and OTC
 
markets.
Equity swaps are OTC contracts in which one
 
counterparty agrees to pay, or receive from the other, cash amounts based on
 
changes in the value of a stock
index, a basket of stocks or a single stock.
 
These contracts sometimes include a payment
 
in respect of dividends.
Equity options give the purchaser of the option,
 
for a premium, the right, but not the obligation,
 
to buy from or sell to the writer of an option,
 
an underlying stock
index, basket of stocks or a single stock
 
at a contracted price. Options are transacted
 
both OTC and through exchanges.
Equity index futures are standardized
 
contracts transacted on an exchange. They
 
are based on an agreement to pay or receive
 
a cash amount based on the
difference between the contracted price level of
 
an underlying stock index and its corresponding
 
market price level at a specified future date.
 
There is no actual
delivery of stocks that comprise the underlying
 
index. These contracts are in standard amounts
 
with standard settlement dates.
Equity forwards are OTC contracts in
 
which one counterparty contracts with another
 
to buy or sell a single stock or stock index, or
 
to settle the contract in cash
based on changes in the value of a reference
 
asset, at a future date.
Commodity and other contracts include
 
commodity forwards, futures, swaps, and
 
options, such as precious metals and energy-related
 
products in both OTC
and exchange markets.
The Bank applies hedge accounting on
 
certain equity forwards and/or total return
 
swaps to hedge exposure to equity price risk.
 
These derivatives are
designated as cash flow hedges.
The Bank assesses and measures the hedge
 
effectiveness based on the change in the
 
fair value of the hedging instrument
relative to the change in the cash flows of the
 
hedged item attributable to movement in
 
equity price, using the hypothetical derivative
 
method.

For non-derivative instruments designated as hedging foreign exchange risk, fair value change is measured as
 
the gains and losses due to spot foreign exchange movements.
5
Cross-currency swaps may be used to hedge 1) foreign exchange risk, or 2) a combination of interest rate risk
 
and foreign exchange risk in a single hedge relationship. Cross-currency
swaps in both types of hedge relationships are disclosed in the foreign exchange risk category.
6
Hedged items include principal and interest cash flows on foreign denominated securities, loans, deposits, other
 
liabilities, and subordinated notes and debentures.

NOTIONAL AMOUNTS
The notional amounts are not recorded as assets
 
or liabilities as they represent the face amount
 
of the contract to which a rate or price is applied
 
to determine the
amount of cash flows to be exchanged.
 
Notional amounts do not represent the potential
 
gain or loss associated with the market risk
 
nor are they indicative of the
credit risk associated with derivative
 
financial instruments.
The following table discloses the notional
 
amount of OTC and exchange-traded derivatives.

Collateral held under a Credit Support Annex to help reduce counterparty credit risk is in the form of high-quality
 
and liquid assets such as cash and high-quality government securities.
Acceptable collateral is governed by the Collateralized Trading Policy.

Derivatives executed through a central clearing house reduce settlement risk due to the ability to net settle offsetting
 
positions for capital purposes and therefore receive preferential
capital treatment compared to those settled with non-central clearing house counterparties.

DERIVATIVE-RELATED RISKS
Market Risk
Derivatives, in the absence of any compensating
 
upfront cash payments, generally have no
 
market value at inception. They obtain value,
 
positive or negative, as
relevant interest rates, foreign exchange
 
rates, equity, commodity or credit prices or indices change, such
 
that the previously contracted terms of the derivative
transactions have become more or less favourable
 
than what can be negotiated under current
 
market conditions for contracts with the same
 
terms and the same
remaining period to expiry. The potential for derivatives to increase
 
or decrease in value as a result of the foregoing
 
factors is generally referred to as market risk.
Credit Risk
Credit risk on derivatives, also known as
 
counterparty credit risk, is the risk of a
 
financial loss occurring as a result of
 
the failure of a counterparty to meet its
obligation to the Bank.
Derivative-related credit risks are subject
 
to the same credit approval, limit and
 
monitoring standards that are used for managing
 
other transactions that create
credit exposure. This includes evaluating
 
the creditworthiness of counterparties, and
 
managing the size, diversification and maturity
 
structure of the portfolios. The
Bank actively engages in risk mitigation
 
strategies through the use of multi-product
 
derivative master netting agreements,
 
collateral and other risk mitigation
techniques. Master netting agreements reduce
 
risk to the Bank by allowing the Bank
 
to close out and net transactions with counterparties
 
subject to such
agreements upon the occurrence of certain
 
events.
The current replacement cost and credit equivalent
 
amount shown in the following table are based
 
on the
standardized approach for counterparty credit
 
risk. According to this approach, the
 
current replacement cost accounts for
 
the fair value of the positions, posted and
received collateral, and master netting agreement
 
clauses. The credit equivalent amount is
 
the sum of the current replacement cost
 
and the potential future
exposure, which is calculated by applying
 
factors determined by OSFI to the notional
 
principal amount of the derivatives. The risk-weighted
 
amount is determined
by applying the adequate risk weights to
 
the credit equivalent amount.

Based on geographic location of unit responsible for recording revenue.
Certain of the Bank’s derivative contracts are
 
governed by master derivative agreements
 
having provisions that may permit the Bank’s
 
counterparties to require,
upon the occurrence of a certain contingent event:
 
(1) the posting of collateral or other acceptable
 
remedy such as assignment of the affected
 
contracts to an
acceptable counterparty;
 
or (2)
 
settlement of outstanding derivative contracts.
 
Most often, these contingent events are in the
 
form of a downgrade of the senior
debt rating of the Bank, either as counterparty
 
or as guarantor of one of the Bank’s subsidiaries.
 
At October 31, 2025, the aggregate net liability
 
position of those
contracts would require: (1) the posting of
 
collateral or other acceptable remedy
 
totalling $
331
 
million (October 31, 2024 – $
511
 
million) in the event of a one-notch
or two-notch downgrade in the Bank’s senior debt rating;
 
and (2) funding totalling $
358
 
million (October 31, 2024 – $
134
 
million) following the termination and
settlement of outstanding derivative contracts
 
in the event of a one-notch or two-notch
 
downgrade in the Bank’s senior debt rating.
Certain of the Bank’s derivative contracts are
 
governed by master derivative agreements
 
having credit support provisions
 
that permit the Bank’s counterparties
to call for collateral depending on the net mark-to-market
 
exposure position of all derivative contracts
 
governed by that master derivative agreement.
 
Some of
these agreements may permit the Bank’s counterparties
 
to require, upon the downgrade of the senior
 
debt ratings of the Bank, to post additional
 
collateral. As of
October 31, 2025, the fair value of all derivative
 
instruments with credit risk related
 
contingent features in a net liability position
 
was $
17
 
billion (October 31, 2024 –
$
16
 
billion). The Bank has posted $
18
 
billion (October 31, 2024 – $
17
 
billion) of collateral for this exposure in the normal
 
course of business. As of
October 31, 2025, the impact of a one-notch downgrade
 
in the Bank’s senior debt ratings would require the
 
Bank to post an additional $
1,015
 
million
(October 31, 2024 – $
49
 
million) of collateral to that posted in the
 
normal course of business. The increase
 
is attributable to the clarification of downgrade
requirements under a single Credit Support
 
Annex with no economic impact. A two-notch
 
downgrade in the Bank’s senior debt ratings

IMPACT FROM TERMINATED FIRST HORIZON ACQUISITION-RELATED CAPITAL HEDGING STRATEGY
Prior to the termination of the merger agreement
 
with First Horizon on May 4, 2023,
 
the Bank had implemented a strategy to mitigate
 
the impact of interest rate
volatility to capital on closing of the acquisition.
 
In order to mitigate this impact, the Bank
 
de-designated certain interest rate
 
swaps hedging fixed income
investments in fair value hedge accounting
 
relationships. As a result of the de-designation,
 
mark-to-market gains (losses) on these
 
swaps were recognized in
earnings, without any corresponding offset from
 
the previously hedged investments. The
 
de-designation also triggered the amortization
 
of the investments’ basis
adjustment to net interest income over
 
the remaining expected life of the investments.
Following the announcement to terminate
 
the merger agreement, the Bank discontinued
 
this strategy and reinstated hedge accounting
 
on the portfolio of fixed
income investments using new swaps
 
entered into at higher market rates. The
 
impact from the higher swap rates and
 
the basis adjustment amortization discussed
above is reported in net interest income. Income
 
recognized from this strategy
 
will reverse over time causing a decrease
 
to net interest income. This impact is
expected to continue until fiscal 2029. For
 
the year ended October 31, 2025, the decrease
 
to net interest income was $
205
 
million (October 31, 2024 –
$
242
 
million), recorded in the Corporate segment.
