## Report of Independent Auditors

To Management of Citadel Securities Swap Dealer LLC

### Opinion

We have audited the accompanying statement of financial condition of Citadel Securities Swap Dealer LLC (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2022, including the related notes (referred to as the “financial statement”).

In our opinion, the accompanying financial statement presents fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2022 in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

### Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAS). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statement section of our report. We are required to be independent of the Company and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

### Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statement

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statement in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of a financial statement that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statement, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for one year after the date the financial statement is available to be issued.

### Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statement

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statement as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with US GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statement.

![img-2.jpeg](img-2.jpeg)

In performing an audit in accordance with US GAAS, we:

- Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.
- Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statement, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statement.
- Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.
- Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statement.
- Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.

We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control-related matters that we identified during the audit.

NOTE 2

Significant Accounting Policies

The accompanying financial statement has been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP").

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the financial statement in accordance with GAAP requires CSG to make estimates and assumptions, the most important of which relate to fair value measurements, that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statement. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company defines cash and cash equivalents on the statement of financial condition as cash and funds held in liquid investments with original maturities of 90 days or less as well as investments in money market funds. Cash and cash equivalents are held at global financial institutions.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash represents cash that is segregated at The Bank of New York Mellon ("BONY") to facilitate the transfer of funds with LCH on its direct debit system.

Securities Owned and Securities Sold, Not Yet Purchased

The Company's securities owned and securities sold, not yet purchased are recorded at fair value. Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Substantially all securities owned are held at various global financial institutions where contract terms permit the applicable counterparty to sell or repledge these securities to others.

Receivable from Brokers, Dealers, Clearing Organization, and Payable to Custodian

The receivables from brokers, dealers, and clearing organization, and payable to custodian may include cash balances and open trade

equity related to derivative financial instruments and receivables or payables related to purchases and sales of securities which have not yet settled.

Derivative Contracts

The fair value of a derivative financial instrument is recorded as a derivative asset or derivative liability. Derivative assets and derivative liabilities also include receivables/payables for unsettled transactions, and cash collateral transferred to or from counterparties that are subject to legally enforceable credit support agreements. Derivative assets and derivative liabilities are included in receivable from brokers and dealers on the statement of financial condition.

Offsetting Financial Instruments

Financial assets and liabilities, as well as cash collateral received and posted, are offset by counterparty when there exists a legally enforceable right to offset the recognized amounts and when certain other criteria are met in accordance with applicable accounting guidance on offsetting. As a result, the net exposure to each counterparty is reported as either an asset or liability on the statement of financial condition, where applicable.

Foreign Currency Translation

The functional currency of the Company is the U.S. dollar. The Company may hold assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. The fair value of assets and liabilities is translated into U.S. dollars using spot currency rates on the date of valuation.

Transfers of Financial Assets

Transfers of financial assets are accounted for as sales when the Company has relinquished control over the transferred assets. For transfers of financial assets that are not accounted for as sales, in which the transferor retains control of the financial assets, the financial assets remain on the statement of financial condition and the transfer is accounted for as a collateralized financing. Securities purchased under agreements to resell ("reverse repurchase agreements") and securities sold under agreements to repurchase ("repurchase agreements") are treated as collateralized financings (see Note 3).

Reverse repurchase agreements and repurchase agreements held as of the reporting date are recorded on the statement of financial condition at their fair value pursuant to the fair value option, plus accrued interest. Reverse repurchase agreements and repurchase agreements with the same counterparty are reported on a net basis when there exists a legally enforceable right to offset the recognized amounts and when certain other criteria are met in accordance with applicable accounting guidance on offsetting.

Valuation of Financial Instruments

The fair value of a Financial Instrument (as defined below) is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value is determined by CSG and represents CSG's best estimate of fair value. In all instances, any Financial Instrument may either be valued by CSG or CSG may determine (but is under no obligation to do so) to engage a third party it believes to be qualified to value any Financial Instrument. The Company measures and reports securities owned; securities sold, not yet purchased; derivative financial instruments; money market funds; reverse repurchase agreements, and repurchase agreements ("Financial Instruments") at fair value.

Fair value is generally based on or derived from (i) closing prices of an exchange market, (ii) prices or inputs disseminated by third parties, including membership organizations, or market participants (e.g., mean of the bid and offer price) or (iii) valuation models using such prices or inputs (for certain derivative financial instruments). In the absence of market prices or inputs that are observable, other valuation techniques are applied. Financial Instruments are generally valued as of market close (as determined by CSG). CSG may determine to use a different value than would be assigned pursuant to the foregoing if CSG determines that doing so would better reflect fair value (e.g.,

2

CITADEL SECURITIES SWAP DEALER LLC

# Notes to Statement of Financial Condition

*(Expressed in U.S. dollars in thousands)*

CSG may determine that market quotations do not represent fair value if trading is halted before market close or a significant event occurs subsequent to market close. These valuation techniques involve some level of estimation and judgment by CSG, the degree of which is dependent on, among other factors, the price observability and complexity of the Financial Instrument, and the liquidity of the market. The fair value determined may not necessarily reflect the amount which might ultimately be realized in an arm's length sale or liquidation of Financial Instruments and such differences may be material.

CSG manages portfolios which may have positions in Financial Instruments that trade in different markets with different closing times. Any discrepancy in value resulting from asynchronous closing times may result in the recognition of a gain or loss in one period which may be offset by a corresponding loss or gain, in whole or in part, in the subsequent period.

The accounting guidance for fair value measurements and disclosures establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). A Financial Instrument's level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input, individually or in the aggregate, that is significant to the fair value measurement. CSG's assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the Financial Instrument. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below.

## Basis of Fair Value Measurement

| Level 1 | Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities; |
| --- | --- |
| Level 2 | Quoted prices in markets that are not considered to be active or financial instruments for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly; and |
| Level 3 | Prices or valuations that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable. |

The following describes the valuation techniques applied to the Company's Financial Instruments to measure fair value, including an indication of the level within the fair value hierarchy in which each Financial Instrument is generally classified. Where appropriate, the description includes details of the valuation models and the significant inputs to those models.

## U.S. GOVERNMENT SECURITIES

U.S. government securities are valued using quoted market prices and are categorized within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

## DERIVATIVE ASSETS AND DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES

### Exchange-traded derivative financial instruments

Exchange-traded derivative financial instruments represent futures contracts. These derivative financial instruments are valued using prices disseminated by the relevant exchange market, such as the closing price, settlement price, last available sales price, or the mean of the bid and offer price (a mid-market price). Exchange-traded derivative financial instruments are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

### OTC derivative financial instruments

OTC derivative financial instruments represent swap contracts related to interest rates. OTC derivative financial instruments are valued using prices or inputs disseminated by third parties or market participants

(e.g., mean of the bid and offer from a broker), or derived from such prices or inputs (e.g., inputs to valuation models). Depending on the terms of the OTC derivative instrument, the fair value can be either observed directly or modeled.

For OTC derivative financial instruments that trade in liquid markets such as generic swaps, model inputs can generally be verified and model selection does not involve significant judgment. Similar models are generally used to value similar instruments and require a variety of inputs.

OTC derivative financial instruments are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy as all of the significant observable inputs can generally be corroborated to market evidence.

## REVERSE REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS AND REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS

Reverse repurchase agreements and repurchase agreements are valued by discounting the expected future cash flows using inputs including interest rates and funding spreads, which are determined based on the specific characteristics of the agreements. Reverse repurchase agreements and repurchase agreements are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

### Other Financial Instruments

CSG estimates that the aggregate carrying value of financial instruments measured at amortized cost (including receivables and payables) recognized on the statement of financial condition, approximates fair value, as such financial instruments are short-term in nature, bear interest at current market rates or are subject to frequent repricing.

These financial assets and liabilities include cash and cash equivalents, receivable from brokers and dealers, receivable from clearing organization, interest receivable, other assets, payable to custodian, interest payable, and other liabilities. Had these assets and liabilities been included in the fair value hierarchy, all would have been classified within Level 2 except for cash and cash equivalents which would have been classified within Level 1.

Financial assets measured at amortized cost are presented at the net amount expected to be collected. Expected credit losses are measured based on historical experience, current conditions, collateralization, and forecasts that impact the collectability of the amount. For the year ended December 31, 2022, based on the historical analysis and forward-looking information, CSG believes that the expected credit losses arising from such financial assets are expected to be immaterial.

### Fair Value Option

CSG manages reverse repurchase and repurchase agreements on a fair value basis. The fair value option provides the Company the option to measure certain financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in earnings in each period. The primary reason for electing the fair value option is to reflect current market conditions related to reverse repurchase and repurchase agreements in earnings on a timely basis. CSG has elected to apply the fair value option to the Company's reverse repurchase agreements and repurchase agreements.

### New Accounting Pronouncement

In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued updated accounting guidance which provides optional, temporary relief with respect to the financial reporting of contracts subject to certain types of modifications due to the planned discontinuation of the London Interbank Offered Rate ('LIBOR') and other interbank-offered based reference rates. This guidance is effective for certain reference rate-related contract modifications that occur during the period March 12, 2020, through December 31, 2024. The Company adopted the accounting update in 2020 and 2021 and the adoption did not affect the Company's financial condition. For the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company applied the practical expedients, where

3

(Expressed in U.S. dollars in thousands)

appropriate, as relevant contract modifications were made and expects to do so during the reference rate reform transition period through December 31, 2024.

NOTE 3

Collateralized Transactions

The Company manages credit exposure arising from reverse repurchase agreements and repurchase agreements by, in appropriate circumstances, entering into master netting agreements and collateral arrangements with counterparties. In the event of a counterparty default (such as bankruptcy or a counterparty's failure to pay or perform), these agreements provide the Company the right to terminate such agreements, net the Company's rights and obligations under such agreements, buy-in undelivered securities and liquidate and offset collateral against any net obligation remaining by the counterparty.

During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company had reverse repurchase and repurchase agreements with Citadel Securities LLC ("CSEC"), an affiliated broker and dealer, and non-affiliates.

Reverse repurchase agreements and repurchase agreements are collateralized primarily by receiving or pledging securities, respectively. The Company enters into reverse repurchase agreements in order to, among other things, acquire securities to cover short positions and/or finance certain of the Company's activities. Typically, the Company has rights of rehypothecation with respect to the securities collateral received under reverse repurchase agreements. Also, the counterparty generally has rights of rehypothecation with respect to the securities collateral received from the Company under repurchase agreements. As of December 31, 2022, substantially all securities collateral received under reverse repurchase agreements has been delivered or repledged in connection with repurchase agreements.

The Company monitors the fair value of underlying securities in comparison to the related receivable or payable, including accrued interest, and as necessary, transfers or requests additional collateral as provided under the applicable agreement to ensure transactions are adequately collateralized.

The following table presents information about reverse repurchase agreements and repurchase agreements.

AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2022

| Fair value of securities collateral received for reverse repurchase agreements | $ | 432,052 |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Fair value of securities collateral pledged for repurchase agreements |  | 1,007,865 |

In the table above, the fair value of securities collateral received and pledged includes accrued coupon interest.

The sale and purchase obligations under reverse repurchase agreements and repurchase agreements are collateralized by U.S. government securities, to the extent offsetting agreements with the same counterparty have not otherwise reduced the Company's or counterparties' gross exposure.

Offsetting of Certain Collateralized Transactions

The following table presents information about the offsetting of these instruments. Refer to Note 8 for information relating to offsetting of derivatives.

ASSETS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2022

NOTE 5

Transactions with Related Parties

Expenses

Pursuant to an administrative services agreement, the Company pays the Citadel Parties on a cost and/or cost-plus basis for direct and reimbursable administrative, general and operating expenses paid by the Citadel Parties, on behalf of the Company. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had a combined payable to the Citadel Parties of $4,089, which is included in other liabilities on the statement of financial condition.

Executing Activities

Pursuant to a trading agency services agreement with Citadel Securities (Europe) Limited ("CS-UK"), an affiliated broker and dealer, CS-UK and the Company provide execution and trade oversight services to each other in exchange for a service fee. The Company has an introducing broker agreement with Citadel Securities (Hong Kong) Limited ("CS-HK"), an affiliate, for CS-HK to introduce clients to the Company (including providing marketing, administrative, and technical support services to the Company). The Company has a trading agency services agreement with Citadel Securities (Japan) Limited ("CS-JP") for entity setup recharge costs as a service fee. The Company earns service fee income from CS-UK and incurs service fee expense from CS-UK, CS-HK, and CS-JP equal to the total costs incurred in providing these services plus an arm's length mark-up. As of December 31, 2022, service fees receivable and payable were $2,258 and $840, respectively, and are included in other assets and other liabilities, respectively, on the statement of financial condition.

During 2022, Citadel Securities Institutional LLC ("CSIN"), an affiliated broker and dealer, also provided execution services to the Company. The Company earned and incurred charges related to failed delivery or receipt of securities with CSEC and CSIN.

Miscellaneous Related Party Transactions

Certain of the Company's transactions with various counterparties have been guaranteed by CSUH. These guarantees may be unconditional guarantees without a specific term. In certain instances, the guarantees may be terminated by CSUH with respect to prospective obligations upon prior notice to the counterparty.

The Company participates in a variety of operating and administrative transactions with related parties and affiliates. Because of these relationships, it is possible that the terms of these transactions are not the same as those that would result from transactions among unrelated parties and such differences could be material.

Loan Agreements

The table below discloses the significant terms and financial information associated with the Company's borrowing and lending agreements with Citadel Securities LP ("CSLP").

AS OF AND FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2022

| Borrowing Agreements |  |  |  |  |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Lender | Total Facility Limit | Interest Rate | Outstanding Principal and Accrued Interest | Maturity Date |
| CSLP | $500,000 | SOFR + 1.41% | $ - | December 31, 2023 |
| Lending Agreements |  |  |  |  |
| Borrower | Total Facility Limit | Interest Rate | Outstanding Principal and Accrued Interest | Maturity Date |
| CSLP | $500,000 | SOFR + 1.25% | $ - | December 31, 2022 |

In the table above:

- All loan agreements are unsecured.
- Effective January 1, 2022, the interest rate on the lending agreement has been updated from referencing LIBOR to reference SOFR.
- The maturity date represents the amended maturity date valid as of December 31, 2022.
- The borrowing agreement presented was entered into on August 1, 2022.
- The lending agreement presented was terminated on December 31, 2022.
- Subsequent to December 31, 2022, the Company's borrowing agreement with CSLP was terminated and replaced with a new senior unsecured loan facility. The new facility limit of $250,000 is uncommitted and all loan advances will be subject to CSLP's approval.

NOTE 6

Risk Management

The Company is subject to various risks, including, but not limited to, market risk, credit risk, currency risk, liquidity and leverage risk, and operational risk. CSG seeks to monitor and manage these risks on an ongoing basis. While CSG often hedges certain portfolio risks, CSG is not required to do so and will not, in general, attempt to hedge all market or other risks in the portfolio, and it will hedge certain risks only partially, if at all.

Market Risk

Market risk is the potential for changes in the value of Financial Instruments and the securities collateral received and/or pledged under reverse repurchase and repurchase agreements. Categories of market risk include, but are not limited to, exposures to equity prices, interest rates, commodity prices, credit prices, and currency prices.

Market risk is directly impacted by the volatility and liquidity of the markets in which the underlying financial instruments are traded. CSG seeks to manage market risk in various ways, including through diversifying exposures, guidelines on position sizes and hedging in related securities or derivative financial instruments. The ability to manage market risk may be constrained by changes in liquidity conditions and fast changes in the relative prices, volatilities and correlations between Financial Instruments and their corresponding hedges.

The Company sells various financial instruments which it does not yet own or which are consummated by the delivery of borrowed financial instruments ("short sales"). The Company is exposed to market risk for short sales. A short sale involves the risk of an unlimited increase in the market price of the particular investment sold short, which could result in an inability to cover the short position and unlimited loss. There can be no assurance that securities necessary to cover a short position will be available for purchase. To attempt to manage this market risk, the Company may hold Financial Instruments which can be used to hedge or settle these obligations and monitors its market exposure daily, adjusting Financial Instruments as deemed necessary.

Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk of losses due to the failure of a counterparty to perform according to the terms of a contract. The Company has established accounts with other financial institutions to clear its securities transactions. This can, and often does, result in a concentration of credit risk with one or more of these institutions. Such risk, however, is partially mitigated by the obligation of certain of these financial institutions to maintain minimum net capital and to segregate customers' funds and financial instruments from the financial institution's own holdings. The Company actively reviews and attempts to manage exposures to various financial institutions in an attempt to mitigate these risks. The Company has concentration risk with respect to its derivative financial instruments. At December 31, 2022, BofA Securities Inc. serves as clearing broker for all of the Company's net

# Notes to Statement of Financial Condition

*(Expressed in U.S. dollars in thousands)*

derivative assets. The Company also actively reviews, monitors, and seeks to reduce its net and gross notional exposures to various financial institutions through a variety of measures in an attempt to mitigate this risk.

A majority of the Company's interest rate swaps are cleared through central clearinghouses. The credit risk of exchange-traded and/or certain OTC derivatives that are centrally cleared ('cleared derivatives'), such as exchange-traded futures and centrally cleared OTC derivative financial instruments, is reduced by the rules or regulatory requirements, such as daily margining, applicable to the individual exchanges, clearinghouses and clearing members through which these instruments are traded and cleared.

The cash and security account balances, which typically exceed government-sponsored insurance coverage, subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk. Where possible, CSG seeks to mitigate the credit risk that exists with these account balances by, among other factors, maintaining these account balances pursuant to segregated custodial arrangements.

## Currency Risk

The Company may have exposure to non-U.S. currencies directly or indirectly through its Financial Instruments, and as such is subject to the risk that those currencies will decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar, or, in the case of hedging positions, that the U.S. dollar will decline in value relative to the currency being hedged. Currency rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time for a number of reasons, including changes in interest rates, intervention (or the failure to intervene) by government entities, central banks or supranational entities, or by the imposition of currency controls or other geopolitical developments.

## Liquidity and Leverage Risk

CSG maintains a pool of excess liquidity at the Company for various planned and contingent needs including, among others, mark-to-market losses on investments, increases in initial and variation margin requirements by clearinghouses, and capital activity, as applicable.

The Company generally invests on a leveraged basis, through its financing arrangements, including repurchase agreements, and through the degree of leverage typically embedded in the derivative financial instruments in which it invests. The use of leverage can significantly magnify both gains and losses, increasing the possibility of the Company incurring a substantial loss. Leverage through margin borrowings generally requires collateral to be posted with prime brokers, custodians and counterparties. Market value movements could result in a prime broker, custodian or counterparty, under their respective agreements with the Company, having the right to reduce the value of such collateral or to require the posting of additional collateral, potentially resulting in the issuance of a margin call. This could also result in the Company having to sell assets at a time when the Company would not otherwise choose to do so. The Company seeks to mitigate this risk by utilizing a variety of financing arrangements as well as negotiating trading and financing agreements that include objective valuation methodologies and dispute rights for valuation differences between the Company and its prime brokers, custodians and counterparties.

## Operational Risk

Operational risk is defined as the risk of financial loss or damaged reputation resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes, people and systems, or from external events. CSG seeks to identify, measure, monitor, and manage material operational risks by continuing to develop and implement enhanced methodologies in the processes that support the Company's key activities.

## Other Risks

The Company is subject to risks associated with unforeseen or catastrophic events, including, but not limited to, geopolitical events, terrorist attacks, natural disasters, cyber attacks, and the emergence of a pandemic, which could create economic, financial, and business

disruptions. These events could lead to operational difficulties that could impair CSG's ability to manage the Company's activities. CSG seeks to manage this risk through continuity and resiliency planning.

Legal, tax and regulatory changes could occur during the term of the Company. Certain of such changes could have a material adverse effect on the Company.

## NOTE 7

### Contingencies

In the normal course of business, the Company enters into contracts that contain provisions related to general indemnifications. The Company's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as any such exposure involves possible future claims that may be, but have not yet been, made against the Company, based on events which have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, CSG believes the risk of material loss from these arrangements to be remote.

Also, the Company's potential liabilities with respect to litigation, if any, are not included in CSG's estimate of reasonably possible loss as CSG does not believe that the outcomes of such litigation will have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position.

The Company provides guarantees to the securities clearinghouse, LCH. Under the standard membership agreement, members are required to guarantee the performance of other members. Under these agreements, if a member becomes unable to satisfy its obligations to the clearinghouse, other members would be required to meet the resulting shortfalls. The Company's liability under these arrangements is not quantifiable and could exceed the cash and securities it has posted as collateral. However, CSG believes the potential for the Company to be required to make payments under these arrangements is remote. Accordingly, no contingent liability is carried on the statement of financial condition for these arrangements.

## NOTE 8

### Derivative Financial Instruments

Derivatives are instruments that derive their value from underlying asset prices, indices, reference rates, and other inputs, or a combination of these factors and generally represent commitments to exchange cash flows, or to purchase or sell other financial instruments at specified future dates. Derivatives generally reference notional amounts which are utilized solely as a basis for determining cash flows to be exchanged. Notional amounts provide a measure of the Company's activity in such derivative financial instruments and are not necessarily indicative of economic exposure or potential risk. Derivatives may be traded on an exchange ('Exchange-traded') or they may be privately negotiated contracts, which are usually referred to as 'OTC derivatives'. OTC derivatives can be cleared and settled through central clearing counterparties ('OTC-cleared'), while others, such as bilateral contracts between two counterparties, will maintain the direct contractual relationship between executing counterparties.

The Company may enter into derivative financial instruments in the normal course of its market making business or to manage various underlying exposures for risk management purposes. Examples of the use of derivative financial instruments for risk management purposes include, but are not limited to, the following: interest rate derivatives to manage potential exposures to interest rate fluctuations and currency derivatives to manage potential foreign currency exchange rate risks on Financial Instruments and/or other assets and liabilities. The Company's derivative financial instrument risks should not be viewed in isolation, but rather CSG believes they should be considered on an aggregate basis along with the Company's other market making activities.

Futures and forwards are contracts that commit counterparties to purchase or sell financial instruments, commodities, or currencies for an agreed-upon price on an agreed future date. These instruments can involve market risk and/or credit risk.

Interest rate derivative financial instruments are contractual agreements to exchange periodic interest payment streams calculated on a predetermined notional principal amount. Interest rate derivative financial instruments generally involve one party paying a fixed interest rate and the other party paying a variable interest rate. These instruments can involve market risk and/or credit risk.

The following table presents the fair value of the Company's derivative contracts by underlying risk exposure, as well as information about the offsetting of derivative financial instruments and related collateral amounts (see information related to offsetting of certain collateralized transactions in Note 3).
