Our primary objective for using derivatives is to manage risks, primarily interest rate risk. We use derivatives to manage volatility in interest income, interest expense, earnings, and capital by adjusting our interest rate sensitivity to minimize the impact of fluctuations in interest rates. Derivatives are used to stabilize forecasted interest income from variable-rate assets and to modify the coupon or the duration of fixed-rate financial assets or liabilities as we consider advisable. We also assist clients with their risk management needs through the use of derivatives. For a more detailed discussion of the use of and accounting policies regarding derivative instruments, see Note 7 of our 2020 Form 10-K.

Fair Value Hedges of Liabilities – At September 30, 2021, we had one receive-fixed interest rate swap with a notional amount of $500 million designated in a qualifying fair value hedge relationship of fixed-rate debt. The receive-fixed interest rate swap effectively converts the interest on our fixed-rate debt to floating. During the third quarter of 2021, derivatives designated as fair value hedges of debt decreased in value by $4 million which was offset by changes in the fair value of the hedged debt instruments as shown in the schedules below. During the third quarter of 2021, we amortized $3 million of cumulative unamortized debt basis adjustments related to previously terminated fair value hedges of debt. We had $2 million of unamortized debt basis adjustments from previously designated fair value hedges remaining.

Fair Value Hedges of Assets – At September 30, 2021, we had pay-fixed, receive-floating interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional amount of $383 million designated as fair value hedges of certain AFS securities. These swaps effectively convert the fixed interest income to a floating rate on the hedged portion of the securities. During the third quarter of 2021, derivatives designated as fair value hedges of fixed-rate AFS securities increased in value by $4 million, which was offset by changes in value of the hedged securities, as shown in the schedules below. We had $7 million of unamortized basis adjustments to AFS securities from previously designated fair value hedges.

Cash Flow Hedges – At September 30, 2021, we had $5.4 billion notional amount of receive-fixed interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges of pools of floating-rate commercial loans. During the third quarter of 2021, we increased the size of our cash flow hedge portfolio by entering into additional swaps with an aggregate notional amount of $1.4 billion. Also during the quarter, our cash flow hedge portfolio decreased in value by $21 million, which was recorded in AOCI. The amounts deferred in AOCI are reclassified into earnings in the periods in which the interest payments occur (i.e., when the hedged forecasted transactions affect earnings).

Exposure to credit risk arises from the possibility of nonperformance by counterparties. No significant losses on derivative instruments have occurred as a result of counterparty nonperformance. For a more detailed discussion of collateral and credit risk related to our derivative contracts, see Note 7 of our 2020 Form 10-K.

Our derivative contracts require us to pledge collateral for derivatives that are in a net liability position at a given balance sheet date. Certain of these derivative contracts contain credit-risk-related contingent features that include the requirement to maintain a minimum debt credit rating. We may be required to pledge additional collateral if a credit-risk-related feature were triggered, such as a downgrade of our credit rating. However, in past situations, not all counterparties have demanded that additional collateral be pledged when provided for by the contractual terms. At September 30, 2021, the fair value of our derivative liabilities was $270 million, for which we were required to pledge cash collateral of $51 million in the normal course of business. If our credit rating were downgraded one notch by either Standard & Poor’s (“S&P”) or Moody’s at September 30, 2021, there would likely be $1 million of additional collateral required to be pledged.

Certain information with respect to notional amounts and recorded gross fair values at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, is summarized as follows:

1 Customer-facing interest rate derivatives include a net CVA of $3 million and $18 million, reducing the fair value amount at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. These adjustments are required to reflect both our nonperformance risk and that of the respective counterparty.

2 The fair value amounts for these derivatives do not include the settlement amounts for those trades that are centrally cleared. Once the settlement amounts with the clearing houses are included the derivative fair values would be the following:

1 Amounts recognized in OCI and reclassified from AOCI represent the effective portion of the derivative gain (loss). For the 12 months following September 30, 2021, we estimate that $42 million will be reclassified from AOCI into interest income.

3 The cumulative unamortized basis adjustment from previously terminated or redesignated fair value hedges at September 30, 2021 is $2 million and $7 million of terminated fair value debt and asset hedges, respectively. The amortization of the cumulative unamortized basis adjustment from asset hedges is not shown in the schedules because it is not significant.

The amount of gains (losses) recognized from derivatives not designated as accounting hedges is summarized as follows:
