Hedging total return

        Citigroup generally manages the risk associated with highly leveraged financing it has entered into by seeking to sell a majority of its exposures to the market prior to or shortly after funding. The portion of the highly leveraged financing that is retained by Citigroup is hedged with a total return swap.

        The hedge ineffectiveness on the cash flow hedges recognized in earnings totals $3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and $12 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.

        The pretax change in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) from cash flow hedges for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 is presented below:

The amount reclassified from AOCI, related to interest rate cash flow hedges, to Other revenue and Principal transactions is ($404) million and ($27) million, respectively for the three months ended September 30, 2009, and ($1,166) million and ($122) million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively.

(2)
The amount reclassified from AOCI, related to foreign exchange cash flow hedges, to Other Revenue and Principal transactions is $(146) million and ($3) million, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2009, and $(121) million and ($7) million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively.

        For cash flow hedges, any changes in the fair value of the end-user derivative remaining in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) on the Consolidated Balance Sheet will be included in earnings of future periods to offset the variability of the hedged cash flows when such cash flows affect earnings. The net loss associated with cash flow hedges expected to be reclassified from Accumulated other comprehensive income within 12 months of September 30, 2009 is approximately $2.1 billion.

        The impact of cash flow hedges on AOCI is also included within Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements—Changes in Accumulated Comprehensive Income (Loss).
