Derivative Financial Instruments
7.           Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company enters into derivative instruments such as futures and swaps primarily for fixed income portfolio interest rate and credit exposure management, and forward contracts for foreign currency exposure management. The Company’s derivative instruments are generally traded under International Swaps and Derivatives Association master agreements, which establish the terms of the transactions entered into with the Company’s derivative counterparties. In the event one party becomes insolvent or otherwise defaults on its obligations, a master agreement generally permits the non-defaulting party to accelerate and terminate all outstanding transactions and net the transactions’ marked-to-market values so that a single sum in a single currency will be owed by, or owed to, the non-defaulting party. Effectively, this contractual close-out netting reduces credit exposure from gross to net exposure.
The following table identifies the fair value and notional amounts of derivative instruments included in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, categorized by primary underlying risk:
