Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]

Information pertaining to Citigroup’s derivative activities, based on notional amounts is presented in the table below. Derivative notional amounts are reference amounts from which contractual payments are derived and do not represent a complete and accurate measure of Citi’s exposure to derivative transactions. Rather, Citi’s derivative exposure arises primarily from market fluctuations (i.e., market risk), counterparty failure (i.e., credit risk) and/or periods of high volatility or financial stress (i.e., liquidity risk), as well as any market valuation adjustments that may be required on the transactions. Moreover, notional amounts do not reflect the netting of offsetting trades. For example, if Citi enters into a receive-fixed interest rate swap with $100 million notional, and offsets this risk with an identical but opposite pay-fixed position with a different counterparty, $200 million in derivative notionals is reported, although these offsetting positions may result in de minimis overall market risk. Aggregate derivative notional amounts can fluctuate from period to period in the normal course of business based on Citi’s market share, levels of client activity and other factors.

(1)	The notional amounts presented in this table do not include hedge accounting relationships under ASC 815 where Citigroup is hedging the foreign currency risk of a net investment in a foreign operation by issuing a foreign-currency-denominated debt instrument. The notional amount of such debt was $1,815 million and $1,825 million at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.


(2)	Derivatives in hedge accounting relationships accounted for under ASC 815 are recorded in either Other assets/Other liabilities or Trading account assets/Trading account liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.


(3)	Management hedges represent derivative instruments used to mitigate certain economic risks, but for which hedge accounting is not applied. These derivatives are recorded in either Other assets/Other liabilities or Trading account assets/Trading account liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

(4)

Credit derivatives are arrangements designed to allow one party (protection buyer) to transfer the credit risk of a “reference asset” to another party (protection seller). These arrangements allow a protection seller to assume the credit risk associated with the reference asset without directly purchasing that asset. The Company enters into credit derivative positions for purposes such as risk management, yield enhancement, reduction of credit concentrations and diversification of overall risk.

Derivative mark-to-market (MTM) receivables/payables

The following tables present the gross and net fair values of the Company’s derivative transactions and the related offsetting amounts as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016. Gross positive fair values are offset against gross negative fair values by counterparty pursuant to enforceable master netting agreements. Under ASC 815-10-45, payables and receivables in respect of cash collateral received from or paid to a given counterparty pursuant to a credit support annex are included in the offsetting amount if a legal opinion supporting the enforceability of netting and collateral rights has been obtained. GAAP does not permit similar offsetting for security collateral.

In addition, the table for March 31, 2017 reflects a rule change adopted by a clearing organization that became effective January 3, 2017. Under this rule change, variation margin exchanged on certain interest rate and credit derivative contracts is legally characterized and accounted for as settlement of the related derivative fair value, and not as collateral (whereby the counterparties would record a related collateral payable or receivable). As a result, the table for March 31, 2017 reflects a reduction in approximately $20 billion of gross derivative assets and gross derivative liabilities due to the accounting treatment of variation margin payments as settlement for derivatives with this clearing organization that are subject to the rule change. There is no change to the consolidated balance sheet reporting for the affected items.

The tables also present amounts that are not permitted to be offset, such as security collateral or cash collateral posted at third-party custodians, but which would be eligible for offsetting to the extent an event of default occurred and a legal opinion supporting enforceability of the netting and collateral rights has been obtained.

(3)

Over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives are derivatives executed and settled bilaterally with counterparties without the use of an organized exchange or central clearing house. Cleared derivatives include derivatives executed bilaterally with a counterparty in the OTC market, but then novated to a central clearing house, whereby the central clearing house becomes the counterparty to both of the original counterparties. Exchange traded derivatives include derivatives executed directly on an organized exchange that provides pre-trade price transparency.


(4)	The credit derivatives trading assets comprise $6,312 million related to protection purchased and $17,010 million related to protection sold as of March 31, 2017. The credit derivatives trading liabilities comprise $18,467 million related to protection purchased and $6,219 million related to protection sold as of March 31, 2017.


(5)	For the trading account assets/liabilities, reflects the net amount of the $51,013 million and $50,159 million of gross cash collateral paid and received, respectively. Of the gross cash collateral paid, $40,577 million was used to offset trading derivative liabilities and, of the gross cash collateral received, $36,198 million was used to offset trading derivative assets.

(6)

For cash collateral paid with respect to non-trading derivative assets, reflects the net amount of $56 million of gross cash collateral paid, of which $51 million is netted against non-trading derivative positions within Other liabilities. For cash collateral received with respect to non-trading derivative liabilities, reflects the net amount of $955 million of gross cash collateral received, of which $940 million is netted against OTC non-trading derivative positions within Other assets.


(7)	Represents the netting of derivative receivable and payable balances with the same counterparty under enforceable netting agreements. Approximately $315 billion, $93 billion and $8 billion of the netting against trading account asset/liability balances is attributable to each of the OTC, cleared and exchange-traded derivatives, respectively.


(8)	Represents the netting of cash collateral paid and received by counterparty under enforceable credit support agreements. Substantially all cash collateral received and paid is netted against OTC derivative assets and liabilities, respectively.


(9)	The net receivables/payables include approximately $7 billion of derivative asset and $11 billion of derivative liability fair values not subject to enforceable master netting agreements, respectively.

- Definition

Tabular disclosure of credit derivatives which includes information by sellers of credit derivatives, about each credit derivative, or each group of similar credit derivatives, including (a) the nature of the credit derivative - its term, how it arose, the events or circumstances that would require the seller to perform under the credit derivative, and the current status of the payment/performance risk of the credit derivative; (b) the maximum potential amount of future payments (undiscounted) the seller could be required to make under the credit derivative; (c) the current fair value of the credit derivative; and (d) the nature of any recourse provisions under the credit derivative, and any assets held either as collateral or by third parties. A credit derivative is a derivative instrument (1) in which one or more of its underlyings are related to the credit risk of a specified entity (or a group of entities) or an index based on the credit risk of a group of entities and (2) that exposes the seller to potential loss from credit-risk-related events specified in the contract. Examples of credit derivatives within the scope of this paragraph include, but are not limited to, credit default swaps, credit spread options, and credit index products; also includes a hybrid instrument that has an embedded credit derivative (for example, but not limited to, a credit-linked note).
