Risk factors and legal proceedings
The risks Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago names in Item 1A of its 10-K filed Mar 10, 2026: 23 risks under these headings, as written.3
- The Bank and our members are subject to and affected by a complex body of laws and regulations and regulatory guidance, which could change or be applied in a manner detrimental to our business operations and adversely affect our financial condition.
- Our business and results of operations may be adversely affected by changing economic conditions, including the condition of the U.S. housing and mortgage markets, and related U.S. government policies.
- We face competition for advances, which could adversely affect our business.
- The loss of key personnel or difficulties recruiting and retaining qualified personnel could adversely impact our business and financial results.
- Our and our members’ inability to adapt to a rapidly evolving financial services industry amid a highly competitive and evolving regulated landscape, while managing expenditures, could harm our business.
- Reduced business activities with significant members or the loss of such members could result in lower demand for our products and services, and negatively impact our financial condition and results of operation.
- Failure to meet minimum regulatory capital requirements and guidance could adversely affect our ability to conduct business and our earnings, and could restrict us from redeeming or repurchasing stock which would create an illiquid investment for holders.
- Changes in the perception, status or regulation of GSEs and the related effect on debt issuance could reduce demand or increase the cost of the FHLBs' debt issuance and adversely affect our earnings.
- Any reduction in dividend levels, failure to meet our dividend guidance or the cessation of dividend guidance in the future, limitations on the payment of dividends and repurchase of excess capital stock, or future changes to our capital stock requirements may adversely affect our business.
- Our MPF Program relies on the participation of our PFIs, other FHLBs and their PFIs, and the loss of any such participants may adversely impact our results and operation and business. The continued decline and shift in national mortgage originations and the competitive and highly regulated landscape may also negatively impact our MPF Program and the related business.
- Changes in interest rates or an inability to successfully manage interest-rate risk could have a material adverse effect on our net interest income.
- We depend on the FHLBs' ability to access the capital markets in order to fund our business.
The other 11 risks
- Our funding costs and/or access to the capital markets and demand for certain of our products could be adversely impacted by changes in the credit ratings for FHLB System consolidated obligations or our individual credit ratings.
- Our financial condition and results of operations, and the value of Bank membership, could be adversely affected by our exposure to credit risk.
- Federal Funds and Interest-Bearing Deposits.
- Securities Purchased Under Agreements to Resell.
- Our MPF Program products have different risks than those related to our traditional advances products, which could adversely impact our results of operations.
- We are jointly and severally liable for the consolidated obligations of other FHLBs.
- The occurrence of weather-related events, other natural or environmental disasters, health emergencies, or other disruptive events, especially ones affecting our district and/or members in our district, could negatively impact our business and results of operations.
- A cyberattack, information or security breach, or a technology failure of ours or a third or fourth party, including our use of vendor cloud-based services, could adversely affect our ability to conduct our business, result in significant disclosure or misuse of confidential or proprietary information, and adversely impact our results of operations and financial condition, as well as cause legal or reputational harm.
- We rely on quantitative models to manage risk, to make business decisions, and to value our assets and liabilities. Our business could be adversely affected if those models fail to produce reliable results.
- Failures or interruptions in our information systems and other technology, our controls, or our operating processes generally, may harm our business, financial condition, results of operations, and reputation.
- A significant portion of our business support services are hosted by third party vendors and if our vendors fail to adequately perform the contracted services in the manner necessary to meet our needs or if they become subject to any information or security breach or technological failures, our business, financial condition, and results of operations may be harmed. Additionally any failure in the operating systems related to the Office of Finance could disrupt our ability to conduct and manage our business.
Legal proceedings
The Bank may be subject to various legal proceedings arising in the normal course of business. After consultation with legal counsel, management is not aware of any legal proceedings that might have a material effect on the Bank's financial condition or results of operations.
