Borrowings

Note 15 – Borrowings

Assets sold under agreements to repurchase amounted to $87 million at March 31, 2021 and $121 million December 31, 2020.

The Corporation’s repurchase transactions are overcollateralized with the securities detailed in the table below. The Corporation’s repurchase agreements have a right of set-off with the respective counterparty under the supplemental terms of the master repurchase agreements. In an event of default each party has a right of set-off against the other party for amounts owed in the related agreement and any other amount or obligation owed in respect of any other agreement or transaction between them. Pursuant to the Corporation’s accounting policy, the repurchase agreements are not offset with other repurchase agreements held with the same counterparty.

The following table presents information related to the Corporation’s repurchase transactions accounted for as secured borrowings that are collateralized with debt securities available-for-sale, other assets held-for-trading purposes or which have been obtained under agreements to resell. It is the Corporation’s policy to maintain effective control over assets sold under agreements to repurchase; accordingly, such securities continue to be carried on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.

Repurchase agreements in this portfolio are generally short-term, often overnight. As such our risk is very limited. We manage the liquidity risks arising from secured funding by sourcing funding globally from a diverse group of counterparties, providing a range of securities collateral and pursuing longer durations, when appropriate.

There were no other short-term borrowings outstanding at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Corporation had FHLB borrowing facilities whereby the Corporation could borrow up to $2.9 billion and $3.0 billion, respectively, of which $0.5 billion were used at each period. In addition, at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Corporation had placed $0.9 billion of the available FHLB credit facility as collateral for municipal letters of credit to secure deposits. The FHLB borrowing facilities are collateralized with loans held-in-portfolio, and do not have restrictive covenants or callable features.

Also, at March 31, 2021, the Corporation has a borrowing facility at the discount window of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York amounting to $1.3 billion (2020 - $1.4 billion), which remained unused at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. The facility is a collateralized source of credit that is highly reliable even under difficult market conditions.
