Fair value of financial instruments
(a) Financial instruments designated at fair value through profit or loss
In accordance with its risk management strategy, the Bank has elected to designate certain senior note liabilities at fair value through profit or loss to reduce an accounting mismatch between fair value changes in these instruments and fair value changes in related derivatives, and where a hybrid financial liability contains one or more embedded derivatives that are not closely related to the host contract. Changes in fair value of financial liabilities arising from the Bank’s own credit risk are recognized in other comprehensive income, without subsequent reclassification to net income.
The cumulative fair value adjustment due to own credit risk is determined at a point in time by comparing the present value of expected future cash flows over the term of these liabilities discounted at the Bank’s effective funding rate, and the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at a benchmark rate.
The following table presents the fair value of liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss and their changes in fair value.

Change in the difference between the contractual maturity amount and the carrying value.

The cumulative change in fair value is measured from the instrument’s date of initial recognition.
  (3)
Changes in fair value attributable to changes in the Bank’s own credit risk are recorded in other comprehensive income. Other changes in fair value are recorded in
non-interest
income – trading revenues. The offsetting fair value changes from associated derivatives is also recorded in
non-interest
income – trading revenues.
The following table presents the changes in fair value attributable to changes in the Bank’s own credit risk for financial liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss as well as their contractual maturity and carrying amounts.

(b) Financial instruments – fair value
Fair value of financial instruments
The calculation of fair value is based on market conditions at a specific point in time and therefore may not be reflective of future fair values. The Bank has controls and processes in place to ensure that the valuation of financial instruments is appropriately determined.
Refer to Note 6 of the audited consolidated financial statements in the 2025 Annual Report for the valuation techniques used to fair value its significant financial assets and liabilities.
The following table sets out the fair values of financial instruments of the Bank and excludes
non-financial
assets, such as property and equipment, investments in associates, precious metals, goodwill and other intangible assets.

(c) Fair value hierarchy
The best evidence of fair value for a financial instrument is the quoted price in an active market. Unadjusted quoted market prices for identical instruments represent a Level 1 valuation. Where possible, valuations are based on quoted prices or observable inputs obtained from active markets.
Quoted prices are not always available for
over-the-counter
transactions, as well as transactions in inactive or illiquid markets. In these instances, internal models that maximize the use of observable inputs are used to estimate fair value. The chosen valuation technique incorporates all the factors that market participants would take into account in pricing a transaction. When all significant inputs to models are observable, the valuation is classified as Level 2. Financial instruments traded in a less active market are valued using indicative market prices or other valuation techniques. Fair value estimates do not consider forced or liquidation sales.
Where financial instruments trade in inactive markets, illiquid markets or when using models where observable parameters do not exist, greater management judgement is required for valuation purposes. Valuations that require the significant use of unobservable inputs are classified as Level 3.

Level 3 instrument fair value changes
Financial instruments categorized as Level 3 as at April 30, 2026, in the fair value hierarchy comprised of loans, corporate bonds, equity securities and derivatives.
The following table summarizes the changes in Level 3 instruments carried at fair value for the three and six months ended April 30, 2026.
All positive balances represent assets and negative balances represent liabilities. Consequently, positive amounts indicate purchases of assets or settlements of liabilities and negative amounts indicate sales of assets or issuances of liabilities.

Gains or losses for items in Level 3 may be offset with losses or gains on related hedges in Level 1 or Level 2.
  (2)
These amounts represent the gains and losses from fair value changes of Level 3 instruments still held at the end of the period that are recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Income.
  (3)
Certain unrealized gains and losses on derivative assets and liabilities are largely offset by
mark-to-market
changes on other instruments included in trading revenues in the Consolidated Statement of Income, since these instruments act as an economic hedge to certain derivative assets and liabilities.

Significant transfers
Significant transfers can occur between the fair value hierarchy levels when additional or new information regarding valuation inputs and their refinement and observability become available. The Bank recognizes transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period during which the change has occurred.
The following significant transfers made between Level 1 and 2, were based on whether the fair value was determined using quoted market prices from an active market.
During the three months ended April 30, 2026:
 
  •  
Trading assets of $
953
million, investment securities of $
6,562
million and obligations related to securities sold short of $
943
million were transferred out of Level 2 into Level 1.
 
  •  
Trading assets of $
1,637
million, investment securities of $
550
million and obligations related to securities sold short of $
213
million were transferred out of Level 1 into Level 2.
 
 
During the three months ended April 30, 2025:
 
  •  
Trading assets of $2,003 million, investment securities of $6,624 million and obligations related to securities sold short of $1,038 million were transferred out of Level 2 into Level 1.
 
  •  
Trading assets of $913 million, investment securities of $463 million and obligations related to securities sold short of $832 million were transferred out of Level 1 into Level 2.
During the three months ended April 30, 2026, equity contracts of $65 million were transferred out of Level 3 into Level 2. Transfers were a result of the change in the observability of the inputs used for valuing the derivatives. There were
 no
significant transfers into and out of Level 3 during the three months ended April 30, 2025. 
During the six months ended April 30, 2026:

significant transfers into and out of Level 3 during the six months ended April 30, 2025.
Level 3 sensitivity
The Bank applies judgement in determining unobservable inputs used to calculate the fair value of Level 3 instruments.
Refer to Note 6 of the Bank’s audited consolidated financial statements in the 2025 Annual Report for a description of the significant unobservable inputs for Level 3 instruments and the potential effect that a change in each unobservable input may have on the fair value measurement. There have been no significant changes to the Level 3 sensitivities during the quarter.
