Fair Value
Note 11 — Fair Value
The following fair value amounts have been determined by the Bank using available market information and the Bank’s best judgment of appropriate valuation methods. A description of the application of the fair-value hierarchy, valuation techniques, and significant inputs is disclosed in “Item 8. Financial Statement and Supplementary Data – Note 14 – Fair Value” in the Bank’s 2024 Form 10-K. There have been no material changes in the fair-value hierarchy classification of financial assets and liabilities, valuation techniques, or significant inputs during the three months ended March 31, 2025.
The following tables present the net carrying value or carrying value, as applicable, the estimated fair value, and the fair value hierarchy level of the Bank’s financial instruments at March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024.

(1)    For certain financial instruments, the amounts represent net carrying value, which includes an allowance for credit losses.
(2)    Amounts represent the application of the netting requirements that allow the Bank to settle positive and negative positions, and also cash collateral and related accrued interest held or placed with the same clearing agents or counterparty.
(3)    Includes publicly traded mutual funds held in a grantor trust.
For the periods presented, the Bank did not have any reclassifications for transfers in or out of level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. For more information related to the valuation methodologies and primary inputs used to develop the measurement of fair value for assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring or nonrecurring basis in the Statements of Condition, see “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data – Note 14 – Fair Value” in the Bank’s 2024 Form 10-K. There have been no significant changes in these valuation methodologies and primary inputs during the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Subjectivity of Estimates Related to Fair Values of Financial Instruments. Estimates of the fair value of financial assets and liabilities using the methodologies described above are subjective and require judgments regarding significant matters, such as the amount and timing of future cash flows, prepayment speed assumptions, expected interest rate volatility, methods to determine possible distributions of future interest rates used to value options, and the selection of discount rates that appropriately reflect market and credit risks. Changes in these judgments may have a material effect on the fair value estimates.
Fair Value Measurements. The following tables present the fair value of assets and liabilities, which are recorded on a recurring or nonrecurring basis at March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, by level within the fair value hierarchy.

Fair Value Option. The Bank has elected the fair value option for certain financial instruments to assist in mitigating potential earnings volatility that can arise from economic hedging relationships in which the carrying value of the hedged item is not adjusted for changes in fair value.
The following table presents the net gain/(loss) recognized in earnings on advances and consolidated obligation bonds held under fair value option for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024:

For instruments for which the fair value option has been elected, the related contractual interest income and contractual interest expense are recorded as part of net interest income on the Statements of Income. The remaining changes in fair value for instruments for which the fair value option has been elected are recorded as net gains/ (losses) on financial instruments held under the fair value option in the Statements of Income. For advances and consolidated obligations recorded under the fair value option, the Bank determined that none of the remaining changes in fair value were related to instrument-specific credit risk for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.

The following table presents the difference between the aggregate remaining contractual principal balance outstanding and aggregate fair value of advances and consolidated obligation bonds for which the Bank elected the fair value option at March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024:
