Description of the reasons for holding or issuing derivative instruments and nonderivative hedging instruments. Includes discussion of the objectives for holding or issuing derivative instruments, the context needed to understand those objectives, and the strategies for achieving those objectives. The description generally distinguishes between derivative and nonderivative instruments by the types of hedging relationships and between those instruments used for risk management purposes and those used for other purposes. Information about those instruments is disclosed in the context of each instrument's primary underlying risk exposure (for example, interest rate, credit, foreign exchange rate, interest rate and foreign exchange rate, or overall price).
