Derivative Instruments and Other Financial Instruments Used For Hedging
Derivative Instruments and Other Financial Instruments Used For Hedging
The Company enters into certain derivative and other financial instruments primarily to assist customers with their risk management objectives and to manage the Company’s exposure to interest rate risk. When entering into derivatives on behalf of customers, the Company generally acts as a financial intermediary by offsetting a significant portion of the market risk for these derivatives with third parties. The Company may also enter into derivatives for other risk management purposes. All derivative instruments are recognized as assets or liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets at fair value.
Counterparty credit risk is inherent in derivative instruments. In order to reduce its exposure to counterparty credit risk, the Company utilizes credit approvals, limits, monitoring procedures and master netting and credit support annex agreements. Additionally, the Company considers counterparty credit quality and the creditworthiness of the Company in estimating the fair value of derivative instruments.
The table below presents the notional amounts and fair value amounts of the Company's derivative instruments reported on the consolidated balance sheets, segregated between derivative instruments designated and qualifying as hedging instruments and derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. Asset and liability values are presented gross, excluding the impact of legally enforceable master netting and credit support annex agreements. The fair value of asset and liability derivatives designated and qualifying as hedging instruments and derivatives designated as other risk management are included in other assets and other liabilities, respectively. The fair value of asset and liability trading derivatives are included in trading account assets and trading account liabilities, respectively.

We recognized net gains of $5 million and $28 million on other risk management derivatives for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, and net gains of $16 million and $7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, which are included in other noninterest income.

Derivatives Designated and Qualifying as Hedging Instruments
The Company uses interest rate derivatives to manage the financial impact on the Company from changes in market interest rates. These instruments are used to manage interest rate risk relating to specified groups of assets and liabilities, primarily LIBOR-based commercial loans and debt issuances. Derivatives that qualify for hedge accounting are designated as either fair value or cash flow hedges.
Cash Flow Hedges
From time to time, the Company uses interest rate derivatives to hedge the risk of changes in cash flows attributable to changes in the designated interest rate on LIBOR indexed loans, and to a lesser extent, to hedge interest rate risk on rollover debt.
The Company used interest rate derivatives with an aggregate notional amount of $9.5 billion at June 30, 2020 to hedge the risk of changes in cash flows attributable to changes in the designated interest rates from variable rate loans. The Company used interest rate derivatives with an aggregate notional amount of $9 million at June 30, 2020 to hedge the risk of changes in cash flows attributable to changes in the designated interest rate on LIBOR indexed short-term borrowings. At June 30, 2020, the weighted average remaining life of the active cash flow hedges was 3.2 years.
For cash flow hedges, changes in the fair value of the hedging instruments is reported as a component of other comprehensive income and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged cash flows are recognized in net interest income. At June 30, 2020, the Company expects to reclassify approximately $93 million of income from AOCI to net interest income during the twelve months ending June 30, 2021. This amount could differ from amounts actually realized due to changes in interest rates, hedge terminations and the addition of other hedges subsequent to June 30, 2020.
The following table presents the amount and location of the net gains and losses recorded in the Company’s consolidated statements of income and changes in stockholders' equity for derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019.

Offsetting Financial Assets and Liabilities
The Company primarily enters into derivative contracts with counterparties utilizing standard International Swaps and Derivatives Association Master Agreements and Credit Support Annex Agreements. These agreements generally establish the terms and conditions of the transactions, including a legal right to set-off amounts payable and receivable between the Company and a counterparty, regardless of whether or not such amounts have matured or have contingency features. For additional information related to offsetting of financial assets and liabilities, refer to Note 5 "Securities Financing Arrangements" to these Consolidated Financial Statements.
