Pledged securities that the creditor has the right by custom or contract to repledge are presented separately on the consolidated statements of financial condition.

At March 31, 2014, the Corporation had $ 1.0 billion in investment securities available-for-sale and $ 0.5 billion in loans that served as collateral to secure public funds (December 31, 2013 - $ 1.0 billion and $ 0.5 billion, respectively).

At March 31, 2014, the Corporation's banking subsidiaries had short-term and long-term credit facilities authorized with the Federal Home Loan Bank system (the “FHLB”) aggregating to $3.0 billion (December 31, 2013 - $3.0 billion). Refer to Notes 16 to the consolidated financial statements for borrowings outstanding under these credit facilities. At March 31, 2014, the credit facilities authorized with the FHLB were collateralized by $ 3.8 billion in loans held-in-portfolio (December 31, 2013 - $ 4.5 billion). Also, at March 31, 2014, the Corporation's banking subsidiaries had a borrowing capacity at the Federal Reserve (“Fed”) discount window of $3.4 billion, which remained unused as of such date ( December 31, 2013 - $3.4 billion). The amount available under these credit facilities with the Fed is dependent upon the balance of loans and securities pledged as collateral. At March 31, 2014, the credit facilities with the Fed discount window were collateralized by $ 5.1 billion in loans held-in-portfolio (December 31, 2013 - $ 4.5 billion). These pledged assets are included in the above table and were not reclassified and separately reported in the consolidated statements of financial condition.

In addition, at March 31, 2014 trades receivables from brokers and counterparties amounting to $59 million were pledged to secure repurchase agreements (December 31, 2013 - $69 million).
