measured. Agreed interest payments in reverse repos are<br />
recognised as interest income within net interest income<br />
according to maturity.<br />
We conduct securities lending transactions with other banks<br />
and customers in order to meet delivery commitments or to<br />
enable us to effect securities repurchase agreements. We report<br />
these transactions in a similar manner to securities repurchase<br />
transactions. Securities lent remain in our securities portfolio<br />
(trading assets or financial investments) and are measured<br />
according to the rules of IAS 39. Borrowed securities do not<br />
appear in the balance sheet, nor are they measured. In securities<br />
lending transactions, the counterparty credit risk can be avoided<br />
by obtaining collateral, which may be provided in the form of<br />
cash, for example. Collateral furnished for a securities lending<br />
transaction is known as cash collateral out and collateral<br />
received as cash collateral in. In addition, cash collateral outs<br />
are deposited as collateral in connection with derivative<br />
transactions. We show cash collateral which we have furnished<br />
for securities lending transactions as a claim and collateral<br />
received as a liability. Interest and expenses from securities<br />
lending transactions are recognised in net interest income<br />
according to maturity.<br />
(11) Value adjustments for portfolio fair value hedges<br />
This item contains interest-rate-related positive and negative<br />
changes in the fair value of hedged transactions for which<br />
portfolio fair value hedge accounting is used.<br />
(12) Positive fair values of derivative hedging instruments<br />
This item contains derivative financial instruments used for<br />
hedging purposes which qualify for hedge accounting and have<br />
a positive fair value. The hedging instruments are measured at<br />
fair value.<br />
(13) Trading assets<br />
Under trading assets we report financial instruments measured<br />
at fair value. These include fixed income and equity securities,<br />
promissory note loans and units in investment funds. Also<br />
shown at fair value are all derivative financial instruments<br />
which are not used as hedging instruments in hedge<br />
accounting and have a positive fair value. Lending<br />
commitments with a positive fair value allocated to the trading<br />
book are also shown in this item.<br />
(14) Financial investments<br />
Financial investments are financial instruments not assigned to<br />
any other balance sheet item. Financial investments comprise all<br />
bonds, notes and other interest-rate-related securities, shares<br />
and other equity-related securities, units in investment funds,<br />
equity holdings and holdings in non-consolidated subsidiaries<br />
unless they must be treated as assets held for sale as defined by<br />
IFRS 5. Holdings in companies not accounted for using the<br />
equity method and in jointly controlled entities are reported as<br />
financial investments under equity holdings.<br />
Financial instruments from the loans and receivables<br />
category contained in financial investments are measured at<br />
amortised cost.<br />
Portfolio items classified as available-for-sale financial assets<br />
are recognised and measured at their fair value.<br />
Premiums and discounts are recognised in net interest<br />
income over the lifetime of the asset. Net interest income also<br />
includes interest income from bonds, dividends on shares<br />
including shares in unconsolidated affiliated companies and<br />
current gains or losses from equity holdings.<br />
If, however, an effective fair value hedge with a derivative<br />
financial instrument exists for financial instruments reported in<br />
this item, then that portion of the change in fair value<br />
attributable to the hedged risk is shown under net income from<br />
hedge accounting. Changes in the fair values of financial<br />
investments to which the fair value option has been applied are<br />
recognised in the net gain or loss from applying the fair value<br />
option, which is part of net trading income.<br />
