Note 17: Fair value measurements
The following table presents the financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. Management classifies these items based on the type of inputs used in their respective fair value determination as described in "Note 2: Significant accounting policies".
Management reviews the price of each security monthly, comparing market values to expectations and to the prior month’s price. Management's expectations are based upon knowledge of prevailing market conditions and developments relating to specific issuers and/or asset classes held in the investment portfolio. Where there are unusual or significant price movements, or where a certain asset class has performed out-of-line with expectations, the matter is reviewed by management.
Financial instruments in Level 1 include US and UK Government Treasury notes.
Financial instruments in Level 2 include government debt securities, mortgage-backed securities and other asset-backed securities, forward foreign exchange contracts and mutual funds not actively traded.
Financial instruments in Level 3 include asset-backed securities for which the market is relatively illiquid and for which information about actual trading prices is not readily available.
During the year ended December 31, 2023, there were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 or Level 2 and Level 3. During the year ended December 31, 2022, there were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2. There was a transfer out of Level 3 into Level 2 due to increased price observability during the year ended December 31, 2022. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | December 31, 2023 | | December 31, 2022 | | | Fair value | Total carrying amount / fair value | Fair value | Total carrying amount / fair value | | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | | | | | | | | | | Items that are recognized at fair value on a recurring basis: | | | | | | Financial assets | | | | | | | | | Equity securities | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Mutual funds | — | | — | | — | | — | | — | | 236 | | — | | 236 | | Total equity securities | — | | — | | — | | — | | — | | 236 | | — | | 236 | | | | | | | | | | | Available-for-sale investments | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | US government and federal agencies | 715,965 | | 847,820 | | — | | 1,563,785 | | 838,938 | | 873,838 | | — | | 1,712,776 | | Non-US governments debt securities | 250,177 | | — | | — | | 250,177 | | 229,071 | | 22,392 | | — | | 251,463 | | | | | | | | | | | Asset-backed securities - Student loans | — | | 40 | | — | | 40 | | — | | 5,626 | | — | | 5,626 | | | | | | | | | | | Residential mortgage-backed securities | — | | 17,127 | | — | | 17,127 | | — | | 19,000 | | — | | 19,000 | | | | | | | | | | | Total available-for-sale | 966,142 | | 864,987 | | — | | 1,831,129 | | 1,068,009 | | 920,856 | | — | | 1,988,865 | | | | | | | | | | | Other assets - Derivatives | — | | 2,342 | | — | | 2,342 | | — | | 6,509 | | — | | 6,509 | | | | | | | | | | | Financial liabilities | | | | | | | | | Other liabilities - Derivatives | — | | 13,971 | | — | | 13,971 | | — | | 6,254 | | — | | 6,254 | |
Level 3 Reconciliation The Level 3 financial instrument was a federal family education loan program guaranteed student loan security and was valued using a non-binding quote from an external security pricing service.

¹ The current carrying value of OREO is adjusted to fair value only when there is devaluation below carrying value. Note 18: Interest rate risk
The following tables set out the assets, liabilities and shareholders' equity on the date of the earlier of contractual maturity, expected maturity or repricing date. Use of these tables to derive information about the Bank’s interest rate risk position is limited by the fact that customers may choose to terminate their financial instruments at a date earlier than the contractual maturity or repricing date. Examples of this include fixed-rate mortgages, which are shown at contractual maturity but which may be subject to early prepayment, and certain term deposits, which are shown at contractual maturity but which may be withdrawn before their contractual maturity subject to prepayment penalties. Investments are shown based on remaining contractual maturities. The remaining contractual principal maturities for mortgage-backed securities (primarily US government agencies) do not consider prepayments. Remaining expected maturities will differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to prepay obligations before the underlying mortgages mature. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | December 31, 2023 | Earlier of contractual maturity or repricing date | | | (in $ millions) | Within 3 months | 3 to 6 months | 6 to 12 months | 1 to 5 years | After 5 years | Non-interest bearing funds | Total | Assets | | | | | | | | Cash and cash equivalents | 1,555 | | — | | — | | — | | — | | 92 | | 1,647 | | Securities purchased under agreement to resell | 187 | | — | | — | | — | | — | | — | | 187 | | Short-term investments | 665 | | 322 | | 51 | | — | | — | | — | | 1,038 | | Investments | 174 | | 52 | | 156 | | 765 | | 4,145 | | — | | 5,292 | | Loans | 2,378 | | 114 | | 330 | | 1,548 | | 338 | | 38 | | 4,746 | | Other assets | — | | — | | — | | — | | — | | 464 | | 464 | | Total assets | 4,959 | | 488 | | 537 | | 2,313 | | 4,483 | | 594 | | 13,374 | | | | | | | | | | Liabilities and shareholders' equity | | | | | | | | Shareholders’ equity | — | | — | | — | | — | | — | | 1,004 | | 1,004 | | Demand deposits | 5,602 | | — | | — | | — | | — | | 2,657 | | 8,259 | | Term deposits | 2,676 | | 489 | | 479 | | 84 | | — | | — | | 3,728 | | | | | | | | | | Other liabilities | — | | — | | — | | — | | — | | 285 | | 285 | | Long-term debt | — | | — | | — | | 98 | | — | | — | | 98 | | Total liabilities and shareholders' equity | 8,278 | | 489 | | 479 | | 182 | | — | | 3,946 | | 13,374 | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Interest rate sensitivity gap | (3,319) | | (1) | | 58 | | 2,131 | | 4,483 | | (3,352) | | — | | Cumulative interest rate sensitivity gap | (3,319) | | (3,320) | | (3,262) | | (1,131) | | 3,352 | | — | | — | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | December 31, 2022 | Earlier of contractual maturity or repricing date | | | (in $ millions) | Within 3 months | 3 to 6 months | 6 to 12 months | 1 to 5 years | After 5 years | Non-interest bearing funds | Total | Assets | | | | | | | | Cash and cash equivalents | 2,008 | | — | | — | | — | | — | | 93 | | 2,101 | | Securities purchased under agreement to resell | 60 | | — | | — | | — | | — | | — | | 60 | | Short-term investments | 406 | | 422 | | 56 | | — | | — | | — | | 884 | | Investments | 6 | | 8 | | 179 | | 943 | | 4,592 | | — | | 5,728 | | Loans | 2,927 | | 35 | | 166 | | 1,533 | | 406 | | 29 | | 5,096 | | Other assets | — | | — | | — | | — | | — | | 437 | | 437 | | Total assets | 5,407 | | 465 | | 401 | | 2,476 | | 4,998 | | 559 | | 14,306 | | | | | | | | | | Liabilities and shareholders' equity | | | | | | | | Shareholders’ equity | — | | — | | — | | — | | — | | 865 | | 865 | | Demand deposits | 6,819 | | 25 | | — | | — | | — | | 3,040 | | 9,884 | | Term deposits | 2,126 | | 457 | | 437 | | 87 | | — | | — | | 3,107 | | | | | | | | | | Other liabilities | — | | — | | — | | — | | — | | 278 | | 278 | | Long-term debt | — | | 75 | | — | | 97 | | — | | — | | 172 | | Total liabilities and shareholders' equity | 8,945 | | 557 | | 437 | | 184 | | — | | 4,183 | | 14,306 | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Interest rate sensitivity gap | (3,538) | | (92) | | (36) | | 2,292 | | 4,998 | | (3,624) | | — | | Cumulative interest rate sensitivity gap | (3,538) | | (3,630) | | (3,666) | | (1,374) | | 3,624 | | — | | — | |
