Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]

Notional and Fair Value Amounts of Client-related and Trading Derivative Financial Instruments

The following table shows the notional and fair values of client-related and trading derivative financial instruments. Notional amounts of derivative financial instruments do not represent credit risk, and are not recorded in the consolidated balance sheets. They are used merely to express the volume of this activity. Northern Trust’s credit-related risk of loss is limited to the positive fair value of the derivative instrument, which is significantly less than the notional amount.
