Fair Value Measurements
NOTE 5: FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Certain assets and liabilities, primarily
 
financial instruments, are carried on
 
the balance sheet at their fair value on a recurring
 
basis. These financial instruments
include trading loans and securities, non-trading
 
financial assets at FVTPL, financial assets
 
and liabilities designated at FVTPL, financial
 
assets at FVOCI,
derivatives, certain securities purchased under
 
reverse repurchase agreements, trading
 
deposits, securitization liabilities at fair value,
 
obligations related to
securities sold short, and certain obligations
 
related to securities sold under repurchase
 
agreements. All other financial assets
 
and financial liabilities are carried at
amortized cost.
(a)
VALUATION GOVERNANCE
Valuation processes are guided by policies and procedures
 
that are approved by senior management
 
and subject matter experts. Senior Executive
 
oversight over
the valuation process is provided through various
 
valuation committees. Further, the Bank has a number of
 
additional controls in place, including an independent
price verification process to ensure the accuracy
 
of fair value measurements reported in
 
the financial statements. The sources used
 
for independent pricing comply
with the standards set out in the approved
 
valuation-related policies, which include
 
consideration of the reliability, relevancy, and timeliness of data.
(b)
 
METHODS AND ASSUMPTIONS
The Bank calculates fair value for measurement
 
and disclosure purposes based on the following
 
methods of valuation and assumptions:
Government and Government-Related Securities
The fair value of Canadian government debt
 
securities is determined by quoted prices in
 
active markets, reference to recent transaction
 
prices, or third-party
vendor prices. In cases where external and
 
independent prices are not readily available,
 
alternate techniques based on the risk
 
metrics and unique characteristics
of the security are utilized.
The fair value of Canadian residential mortgage-backed
 
securities (MBS) is based on third-party vendor
 
prices, reference to recent transaction prices,
 
or
valuation techniques that utilize observable
 
inputs such as benchmark government bond
 
prices, government bond yield curves, quoted
 
yield spreads and
prepayment rate assumptions related
 
to the underlying collateral.
The fair value of U.S. government and agency
 
debt securities is determined by reference
 
to recent transaction prices, broker quotes,
 
or third-party vendor
prices. For U.S. agency MBS pricing, brokers
 
or third-party vendors may use a pool-specific
 
valuation model to value these securities, using
 
observable market
inputs.
The fair value of other Organisation for Economic
 
Co-operation and Development (OECD)
 
government-guaranteed debt is based
 
on broker quotes and third-
party vendor prices, or where external and independent
 
prices are not readily available, alternate
 
techniques based on the risk metrics and unique
 
characteristics
of the security are utilized.
Other Debt Securities
The fair value of corporate and other debt
 
securities is based on broker quotes, third-party
 
vendor prices, or alternate techniques
 
utilizing the risk metrics and
unique characteristics of the security. Asset-backed securities are
 
primarily fair valued using third-party
 
vendor prices, including those generated by issue-specific
valuation models using observable market
 
inputs.
Equity Securities
The fair value of equity securities is based
 
on quoted prices in active markets, where available.
 
Where quoted prices in active markets are not readily
 
available,
such as for private equity securities, or
 
where there is a wide bid-ask spread, fair
 
value is determined based on quoted
 
market prices for similar securities or
through valuation techniques, including discounted
 
cash flow analysis, multiples of earnings
 
before taxes, depreciation and amortization,
 
and other relevant
valuation techniques.
If there are trading restrictions on the equity
 
security held, a valuation adjustment is
 
recognized against available prices to reflect
 
the nature of the restriction.
However, restrictions that are not part of the security held
 
and represent a separate contractual arrangement
 
that has been entered into by the Bank and a third
party do not impact the fair value of the original
 
instrument.
The cost of Federal Reserve stock and
 
Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) stock
 
approximates fair value.
Retained Interests
Retained interests are classified as trading
 
securities and are initially recognized at their relative
 
fair market value. Subsequently, the fair value of retained interests
recognized by the Bank is determined by
 
estimating the present value of future expected
 
cash flows.
 
Differences between the actual cash flows and
 
the Bank’s
estimate of future cash flows are recognized
 
in income. These assumptions are subject
 
to periodic review and may change due
 
to significant changes in the
economic environment.
Loans
The estimated fair value of loans carried at amortized
 
cost reflects changes in market price that
 
have occurred since the loans were originated
 
or purchased.
Estimated fair value is determined by discounting
 
the expected future cash flows related
 
to these loans at current market interest rates
 
for loans with similar credit
risks. Changes in interest rates have
 
minimal impact on the fair value of floating-rate
 
loans since they reprice to the market
 
frequently, and therefore their carrying
value approximates their fair value. The
 
fair value of loans is not adjusted for the value
 
of any credit protection the Bank has purchased
 
to mitigate credit risk.
The fair value of loans carried at FVTPL,
 
which includes trading loans and non-trading
 
loans at FVTPL, is determined using observable
 
market prices, where
available. Where the Bank is a market maker
 
for loans traded in the secondary market,
 
fair value is determined using executed prices,
 
or prices for comparable
trades. For those loans where the Bank is
 
not a market maker, the Bank obtains broker quotes from other
 
reputable dealers, or uses valuation techniques
 
to
determine fair value.
The fair value of loans carried at FVOCI is assumed
 
to approximate amortized cost as they are
 
generally floating rate performing loans
 
that are short term in
nature.
Commodities
The fair value of commodities is based on quoted
 
prices in active markets, where available.
 
The Bank also transacts commodity derivative
 
contracts which can be
traded on an exchange or in OTC markets.
Derivative Financial Instruments
The fair value of exchange-traded derivative financial
 
instruments is based on quoted market prices.
 
The fair value of OTC derivative financial
 
instruments is
estimated using well established valuation
 
techniques, such as discounted cash flow
 
techniques, the Black-Scholes model,
 
and Monte Carlo simulation. The
valuation models incorporate inputs that are
 
observable in the market or can be derived
 
from observable market data.
Prices derived by using models are recognized
 
net of valuation adjustments. The inputs
 
used in the valuation models depend on
 
the type of derivative and the
nature of the underlying instrument and are
 
specific to the instrument being valued.
 
Inputs can include, but are not limited to, interest
 
rate yield curves, foreign
exchange rates, dividend yield projections,
 
commodity spot and forward prices, recovery
 
rates, volatilities, spot prices, and correlation.
A credit valuation adjustment (CVA) is recognized against the
 
model value of OTC derivatives to account
 
for the uncertainty that the counterparty in a derivative
transaction may not be able to fulfil its obligations
 
under the transaction to the Bank. In determining
 
CVA, the Bank takes into account master netting agreements
and collateral, and considers the creditworthiness
 
of the counterparty, using market observed or proxy credit
 
spreads, in assessing potential future amounts
 
owed
to the Bank.
The fair value of a derivative is partly a function
 
of collateralization. The Bank uses relevant
 
overnight borrowing curves to discount
 
the cash flows for
collateralized derivatives as most collateral
 
is posted in cash and can be funded at the
 
overnight rate.
A funding valuation adjustment (FVA) is recognized against the
 
model value of OTC derivatives to recognize
 
the market implied unsecured funding costs
 
and
benefits considered in the pricing and fair value
 
determination. Some of the key drivers
 
of FVA include the market implied funding spread and the expected
average exposure by counterparty.
The Bank will continue to monitor industry
 
practice on valuation adjustments and
 
may refine the methodology as market practices
 
evolve.
Deposits
The estimated fair value of term deposits is
 
determined by discounting the expected future
 
cash flows using interest rates currently offered
 
for deposits with similar
terms.
For deposits with no defined maturities,
 
the Bank considers fair value to equal carrying
 
value, which is equivalent to the amount payable
 
on the balance sheet
date.
For trading deposits and deposits designated
 
at FVTPL, which is included in financial liabilities
 
designated at FVTPL, fair value is determined
 
using discounted
cash flow valuation techniques which
 
maximize the use of observable market inputs
 
such as benchmark yield curves and foreign
 
exchange rates. The Bank
considers the impact of its own creditworthiness
 
in the valuation of these deposits by reference
 
to observable market inputs.
Securitization Liabilities
The fair value of securitization liabilities is based
 
on quoted market prices or quoted market
 
prices for similar financial instruments,
 
where available. Where quoted
prices are not available, fair value is determined
 
using valuation techniques, which maximize
 
the use of observable inputs, such as
 
Canada Mortgage Bond (CMB)
curves and MBS curves.
Obligations Related to Securities Sold
 
Short
The fair value of these obligations is based
 
on the fair value of the underlying securities,
 
which can include equity or debt securities.
 
As these obligations are fully
collateralized, the method used to determine
 
fair value would be the same as that of
 
the relevant underlying equity or debt securities.
Securities Purchased Under Reverse
 
Repurchase Agreements and Obligations
 
Related to Securities Sold Under Repurchase
 
Agreements
Commodities and certain bonds and equities
 
purchased or sold with an agreement
 
to sell or repurchase them at a later
 
date at a fixed price are carried at fair
value. The fair value of these agreements
 
is based on valuation techniques such as discounted
 
cash flow models which maximize the use of observable
 
market
inputs such as interest rate swap curves
 
and commodity forward prices.
Subordinated Notes and Debentures
The fair value of subordinated notes and debentures
 
are based on quoted market prices.
Portfolio Exception
IFRS 13,
Fair Value Measurement
 
provides a measurement exception
 
that allows an entity to determine the fair
 
value of a group of financial assets and liabilities
with offsetting risks based on the sale or transfer
 
of its net exposure to a particular risk or
 
risks. The Bank manages certain financial
 
assets and financial liabilities,
such as derivative assets and derivative liabilities,
 
on the basis of net exposure to a particular risk,
 
or risks; and uses mid-market prices as a basis
 
for establishing
fair values for the offsetting risk positions and
 
applies the most representative price
 
within the bid-ask spread to the net open position,
 
as appropriate. Refer to
Note 2 for further details on the use of the portfolio
 
exception to establish fair value.
(c)
 
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES NOT CARRIED AT FAIR VALUE
The carrying value and fair value of financial
 
assets and liabilities not carried at fair
 
value are disclosed in the table below. For these instruments,
 
fair values are
calculated for disclosure purposes only, using the valuation techniques
 
used by the Bank. In addition, the Bank
 
has determined that the carrying value of
 
certain
financial assets and liabilities approximates
 
their fair value, which include: cash and
 
due from banks, interest-bearing deposits
 
with banks, amounts receivable
from brokers, dealers, and clients, other
 
assets, amounts payable to brokers, dealers,
 
and clients, and other liabilities. Substantially
 
all securities purchased under
reverse repurchase agreements and obligations
 
related to securities sold under repurchase
 
agreements are measured at amortized cost
 
where the carrying value
approximates their fair value.

FAIR VALUE HIERARCHY
IFRS requires disclosure of a three-level hierarchy
 
for fair value measurements based upon
 
the observability of inputs to the valuation of
 
an asset or liability as of
the measurement date. The three levels are
 
defined as follows:
Level 1
: Fair value is based on quoted market prices
 
for identical assets or liabilities that are
 
traded in an active exchange market
 
or highly liquid and actively
traded in OTC markets.
Level 2
: Fair value is based on observable inputs other
 
than Level 1 prices, such as quoted
 
market prices for similar (but not identical) assets
 
or liabilities in active
markets, quoted market prices for identical
 
assets or liabilities in markets that are
 
not active, and other inputs that are observable
 
or can be corroborated by
observable market data for substantially the
 
full term of the assets or liabilities. Level
 
2 assets and liabilities include debt securities
 
with quoted prices that are
traded less frequently than exchange-traded
 
instruments and derivative contracts
 
whose value is determined using valuation
 
techniques with inputs that are
observable in the market or can be derived
 
principally from or corroborated by observable
 
market data.
Level 3
: Fair value is based on non-observable inputs
 
that are supported by little or no market
 
activity and that are significant to the
 
fair value of the assets or
liabilities. Financial instruments classified
 
within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy are
 
initially recognized at their transaction price,
 
which is considered the best
estimate of fair value. After initial measurement,
 
the fair value of Level 3 assets and liabilities
 
is determined using valuation models, discounted
 
cash flow
methodologies, or similar techniques.
Fair Value Hierarchy for Assets and Liabilities not carried
 
at Fair Value
The following table presents the levels within
 
the fair value hierarchy for each of the

value is disclosed.

TRANSFERS BETWEEN FAIR VALUE HIERARCHY LEVELS FOR ASSETS
 
AND LIABILITIES MEASURED AT FAIR VALUE ON A RECURRING BASIS
The Bank’s policy is to record transfers of assets
 
and liabilities between the different levels of
 
the fair value hierarchy using the fair values as
 
at the end of each
reporting period. Assets and liabilities are
 
transferred between Level 1 and Level 2
 
depending on whether there is sufficient frequency
 
and volume in an active
market.
During the year ended October 31, 2025,
 
the Bank transferred $
810
 
million of trading loans, securities, and other, and $
561
 
million of obligations related to
securities sold short from Level 2 to Level 1.
 
During the year ended October 31, 2025, there
 
were no significant transfers from Level 1
 
to Level 2. There were no
significant transfers between Level 1 and Level
 
2 during the year ended October
 
31, 2024.
Movements of Level 3 instruments
Significant transfers into and out of Level 3 occur
 
mainly due to the following reasons:
 
Transfers from Level 3 to Level 2 occur when techniques
 
used for valuing the instrument incorporate
 
significant observable market inputs or broker-dealer
quotes which were previously not observable.
 
 
Transfers from Level 2 to Level 3 occur when an instrument’s
 
fair value, which was previously determined
 
using valuation techniques with significant
 
observable
market inputs, is now determined using
 
valuation techniques with significant unobservable
 
inputs.
Due to the unobservable nature of the inputs
 
used to value Level 3 financial instruments,
 
there may be uncertainty about the valuation
 
of these instruments. The
fair value of Level 3 instruments may be drawn
 
from a range of reasonably possible alternatives.
 
In determining the appropriate levels for these
 
unobservable
inputs, parameters are chosen so that they
 
are consistent with prevailing market evidence
 
and management judgment.
There were no significant transfers between
 
Level 2 and Level 3 during the years ended
 
October 31, 2025 and October 31, 2024.
There were no other significant changes to
 
the unobservable inputs and sensitivities
 
for assets and liabilities classified as Level
 
3 during the years ended
October 31, 2025
 
and October 31, 2024.

VALUATION OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES CLASSIFIED AS LEVEL 3
Significant unobservable inputs in Level
 
3 positions
The following section discusses the significant
 
unobservable inputs for Level 3 positions
 
and assesses the potential effect that a change
 
in each unobservable
input may have on the fair value measurement.
Price Equivalent
Certain financial instruments, mainly
 
debt and equity securities, are valued using price
 
equivalents when market prices are
 
not available,
 
with fair value measured
by comparison with observable pricing data
 
from instruments with similar characteristics.
 
For debt securities, the price equivalent is
 
expressed in ‘basis points’, and
represents a percentage of the par amount.
 
For equity securities, the price equivalent
 
is based on a percentage of a proxy price.
 
There may be wide ranges
depending on the liquidity of the securities.
 
New issuances of debt and equity securities
 
are priced at 100% of the issue price.
Correlation
The movements of inputs are not necessarily
 
independent from other inputs. Such relationships,
 
where material to the fair value of a given instrument,
 
are
captured via correlation inputs into the pricing
 
models. The Bank includes correlation
 
between the asset class,
 
as well as across asset classes. For
 
example, price
correlation is the relationship between prices
 
of equity securities in equity basket
 
derivatives, and quanto correlation is the relationship
 
between instruments which
settle in one currency and the underlying
 
securities which are denominated in another
 
currency.
Implied Volatility
Implied volatility is the value of the volatility
 
of the underlying instrument which, when
 
input in an option pricing model, such as Black-Scholes,
 
will return a
theoretical value equal to the current
 
market price of the option. Implied volatility
 
is a forward-looking and subjective measure,
 
and differs from historical volatility
because the latter is calculated from known
 
past returns of a security.
Funding Ratio
The funding ratio is a significant unobservable
 
input required to value loan commitments issued
 
by the Bank. The funding ratio represents
 
an estimate of the
percentage of commitments that are ultimately
 
funded by the Bank. The funding ratio is
 
based on a number of factors such as observed
 
historical funding
percentages within the various lending channels
 
and the future economic outlook, considering
 
factors including, but not limited to, competitive
 
pricing and
fixed/variable mortgage rate gap. An increase/decrease
 
in the funding ratio will increase/decrease
 
loan commitment liability values in relationship
 
to prevailing
interest rates.
Earnings Multiple, Discount Rate, and Liquidity
 
Discount
Earnings multiple, discount rate, and liquidity
 
discount are significant inputs used when
 
valuing certain equity securities. Earnings multiples
 
are selected based on
comparable entities and a higher multiple
 
will result in a higher fair value. Discount
 
rates are applied to cash flow forecasts to reflect
 
time value of money and the
risks associated with the cash flows.
 
A higher discount rate will result in a lower
 
fair value. Liquidity discounts may be applied
 
as a result of the difference in
liquidity between the comparable entity and
 
the equity securities being valued.
Inflation Rate Swap Curve
Inflation rate swap contracts valuation reflects
 
spread between interest rate curves and
 
the inflation rates. The inflation rates are not
 
observable and are
determined using proxy inputs such as inflation
 
indices (e.g., Consumer Price Index).
Net Asset Value
The fair value of certain private funds is based
 
on the net asset value determined by the
 
fund managers based on valuation methodologies,
 
as there are no
observable prices for these instruments.
Valuation techniques and inputs used in the fair value measurement
 
of Level 3 assets and liabilities
The following table presents
 
the Bank’s assets and liabilities recognized
 
at fair value and classified as Level 3, together
 
with the valuation techniques used to
measure fair value, the significant inputs
 
used in the valuation technique that are considered
 
unobservable,
 
and a range of values for those unobservable
 
inputs.
The range of values represents
 
the highest and lowest inputs
 
used in calculating the fair value.

The following table summarizes the potential
 
effect of using reasonably possible alternative
 
assumptions for financial assets and
 
financial liabilities held, that are
classified in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy
 
as at October 31, 2025 and October 31, 2024.
 
For trading securities, non-trading securities
 
at FVTPL and equity
securities at FVOCI, the sensitivity was
 
calculated based on an upward and downward
 
shock of the fair value reported. For interest rate
 
derivatives, the Bank
performed a sensitivity analysis on the mortgage
 
spreads and unobservable inflation curve.
 
For equity derivatives, the sensitivity was
 
calculated based on an
upward and downward shock of fair value.
 
For financial liabilities designated at FVTPL,
 
the sensitivity was calculated based on an
 
upward and downward shock of
the funding ratio.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS DESIGNATED AT FAIR VALUE
Securities Designated at Fair Value through Profit
 
or Loss
Certain securities supporting insurance
 
contract liabilities within the Bank’s insurance
 
underwriting subsidiaries have been designated
 
at FVTPL to eliminate or
significantly reduce an accounting mismatch.
 
Insurance contract liabilities are measured
 
using a discount factor and changes in the discount
 
factor are recognized
on the Consolidated Statement of Income.
 
The unrealized gains or losses on securities
 
designated at FVTPL are recognized
 
on the Consolidated Statement of
Income in the same period as gains or losses
 
resulting from changes to the discount rate
 
used to value the insurance contract liabilities.
In addition, certain debt securities have been designated
 
at FVTPL as they are economically hedged
 
with derivatives and the designation eliminates
 
or
significantly reduces an accounting mismatch.
Financial Liabilities Designated at Fair Value through
 
Profit or Loss
Certain deposits have been designated at FVTPL
 
to reduce an accounting mismatch from
 
related economic hedges, and are included
 
in Financial liabilities
designated at FVTPL on the Consolidated
 
Balance Sheet. In addition, certain obligations
 
related to securities sold under repurchase
 
agreements have been
designated at FVTPL as the instruments
 
are part of a portfolio that is managed on a
 
fair value basis and have been included in Obligations
 
related to securities
sold under repurchase agreements on the Consolidated
 
Balance Sheet. The fair value of obligations
 
related to securities sold under repurchase
 
agreements
designated at FVTPL was $
8,738
 
million as at October 31, 2025 (October
 
31, 2024 – $
9,736
 
million).
For financial liabilities designated at FVTPL,
 
the estimated amount that the Bank
 
would be contractually required to pay at
 
maturity, which is based on notional
amounts, was $
1,708
 
million less than its fair value as at October
 
31, 2025 (October 31, 2024 – $
2,744
 
million).
