Derivatives Derivatives
The accounting policy on Derivatives is presented in Note 2c IV.
ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING trades in derivatives with various counterparties to manage its overall exposure and to assist its customers in managing their own exposure.
Futures - They are agreements to buy or sell financial or non-financial instruments on a future date at a fixed price. These contracts can be settled in cash or by physical delivery. The nominal value of these contracts represents the face value of the associated instrument.
Forwards - They are forward contracts that involve the purchase or sale of financial and non-financial instruments on a future date, at a contracted price, and which are settled by delivering or not the underlying item against a financial amount. They include exchange contracts that are currency forwards.
Options - They are contracts that allow the buyer, upon the payment of a fee, the right to buy or sell financial or non-financial instruments at a fixed price during a specified term.
Swaps - They are contracts to settle in cash on a future date or dates, the difference between two specified financial indexes, applied over a notional principal amount.
Credit derivatives - They are financial instruments which aim is to transfer credit risk:
Credit default swap (CDS): They are contracts whose amount depends on the credit risk of a financial asset (reference entity), allowing the buyer of the protection to transfer this risk to the seller of the protection. The seller, in exchange for a fee, assumes the obligation to make payments when a credit event occurs.
Total return swap (TRS): They are contracts in which the parties exchange the full return of an asset or basket of assets for periodic cash flows.
Further information on parameters used to manage risks may be found in Note 32.

1) Includes amounts of master offset agreements and other such agreements, both enforceable and unenforceable.
2) Limited to amounts subject to enforceable master offset agreements and other such agreements.
3) Includes amounts subject to enforceable master offset agreements and other such agreements, and guarantees in financial instruments.

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset in the balance sheet only when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Derivatives and repurchased agreements not set off in the balance sheet relate to transactions in which there are enforceable master netting agreements or similar agreements, but the offset criteria have not been met in accordance with paragraph 42 of IAS 32 mainly because ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING has no intention to settle on a net basis, or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
