Derivative Financial Instruments

Derivative Financial Instruments

We primarily invest in the following types of derivative financial instruments: interest rate swaps, futures, forward contracts, put and call options, swaptions, embedded derivatives and warrants. We also enter into master netting agreements which reduce credit risk by permitting net settlement of transactions. At September 30, 2016, we had posted collateral of $67.0 and received collateral of $46.6 related to our derivative financial instruments. In addition to collateral posted for derivative transactions, from time to time, we may have cash on deposit to meet certain regulatory requirements, which are included in Cash and cash equivalents on the balance sheet. At September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, we had cash on deposit of $663.6 and $79.9, respectively.

A summary of the aggregate contractual or notional amounts and estimated fair values related to derivative financial instruments at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 is as follows:

Fair Value Hedges

We have entered into various interest rate swap contracts to convert a portion of our interest rate exposure on our long-term debt from fixed rates to floating rates. The floating rates payable on all of our fair value hedges are benchmarked to LIBOR. A summary of our outstanding fair value hedges at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 is as follows:

Type of Fair Value Hedges	Year Entered Into	Outstanding Notional Amount				Interest Rate Received		Expiration Date
		September 30,   2016		December 31, 2015
Interest rate swap	2015	$	200.0	$	200.0	4.350	%	August 15, 2020

A summary of the effect of fair value hedges on our income statement for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 is as follows:

Cash Flow Hedges

We have entered into a series of forward starting pay fixed interest rate swaps with the objective of eliminating the variability of cash flows in the interest payments on anticipated future financings beginning in 2017. During the three months ended September 30, 2016, swaps in the notional amount of $5,400.0 expired. We paid an aggregate of $831.6 to the swap counter parties upon expiration. We performed a final effectiveness test upon the expiration of each swap. The ineffective portion of the hedge loss of $7.7 was recorded as a net realized loss on financial instruments. The effective portion of the hedge loss of $823.9 was recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss. Following the expiration of these swaps, we entered into a new series of forward starting pay fixed interest rate swaps to replace the expired swaps. As of September 30, 2016, we recognized a hedge gain of $17.1 on the new swaps, which was recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss. We had $4,775.0 and $4,650.0 in notional amount outstanding under these swaps at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. The unrecognized loss for all outstanding, expired and terminated cash flow hedges included in accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax, was $553.8 and $81.1 at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. As of September 30, 2016, the total amount of amortization over the next twelve months for all cash flow hedges is estimated to increase interest expense by approximately $19.2.

A summary of the effect of cash flow hedges on our financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 is as follows:

	Effective Portion
	Pretax Hedge Loss Recognized in Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)			Income Statement Location of Loss Reclassification from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss	Hedge Loss Reclassified from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss			Ineffective Portion

We test for cash flow hedge effectiveness at hedge inception and re-assess at the end of each reporting period. No amounts were excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness, except for the amounts described above related to the expired interest rate swaps.
