Group President and CEO’s Message

TD continued to grow, sharpen its competitive edge, and extend its leadership position in 2013. Once again, 
our retail-focused business model delivered strong performances despite continued challenges in our  
operating  environment. Our  adjusted  earnings  of  over  $7.1  billion  reflected  record  results  in  several   
businesses – accounting for 85 per cent of our total earnings – which helped offset other areas impacted 
by market volatility and extreme weather. We provided excellent value to our shareholders with two  
dividend increases in 2013, representing an increase of 12% in dividends paid since last year. The market  
rewarded our performance, as TD’s stock price closed the year at an all-time high. In December 2013, 
we announced a stock dividend, which has the same effect as a two-for-one split of our common shares. 
TD’s share price has increased 170% since the last stock split in 1999.

THE BETTER BANK IN 2013 AND BEYOND
TD’s diverse mix of revenue streams enabled us to weather a bumpy 
operating environment this year, and our business model enabled us to 
continue to invest for the future. Investments in the mobile and online 
space are now helping TD define what it means to be The Better Bank 
in the digital age. And we continue to stand out in the industry as the 
best in customer service, with a number of impressive recognitions on 
both sides of the border.

We had bumps of our own in 2013: in the immediate aftermath 
of the Alberta floods, as well as with our auto insurance business in 
Ontario. As always, the key is in the recovery. Have we learned from 
these experiences? Can we get better at what we do, and how we 
do it? In all instances, we can – and we will.

In 2013 we validated the competitive advantages we derive with our 
better business model:
•   Build our franchise around our customers’ wants and needs, deliver 

better experiences, and make banking convenient. 

•   Stay true to the great traditions of banking, creating real value 

in the real economy. 

•   Embrace values that foster a unique, inclusive performance culture 

that attracts the best, and makes our people the best. 

•   Compete by managing risks better. And keep reinvesting in our 

businesses, with a primary focus on organic growth. 

HOW OUR BUSINESSES PERFORMED
Our Canadian retail bank delivered record adjusted earnings of 
$3.8 billion for the year. We solidified our leadership position in credit 
cards following this year’s announcement that TD will be the primary 
issuer of Aeroplan Visa credit cards in 2014. TD Canada Trust earned 
its eighth consecutive J.D. Power Award in customer satisfaction.
Our U.S. retail bank set a target of $1.6 billion in earnings by 
2013. We delivered, and did so in a period of tough operating condi-
tions for banks. Much of our success stems from a better organic busi-
ness model, which has seen, for instance, TD become the fifth-largest 
bank in New York City. J.D. Power also recognized our leadership in 
retail banking customer satisfaction in Florida, and small business 
banking customer satisfaction in the Northeast.

Our Wealth business, including TD Ameritrade, delivered record 
earnings of $937 million. We completed the acquisition of Epoch 
Holding Corporation, a successful asset management firm based in 
New York. This strengthened our U.S. business, and expanded our 
offering for our institutional and retail clients in Canada. For the fifth 
consecutive year, TD Ameritrade grew its net new client assets at a 
double-digit rate, faster than any of its publicly-traded peers.

Our Insurance business had a challenging year, delivering earnings of 

$216 million. We faced charges resulting from a combination of severe 
weather-related  impacts  and  increased  general insurance claims. 
However the fundamentals of the business are strong, and we continue 
to see Insurance as a key part of our strategy.

Our Wholesale business contributed $648 million this year, a 
weaker result than last year due to lower security gains, continued 
economic instability, which impacted corporate and investor activities. 
We remain confident in following a strategy based on adding value 
for our clients, integrated with TD’s brand and values, and growing 
aggressively within our risk appetite. 

LOOKING FORWARD
As you know, this is my last letter to shareholders. I want to thank you 
for your continued confidence, and thank TD’s Board of Directors for 
their generous support. But mostly I want to thank our employees who 
have shown the world what it means to be TD. 

All transitions involve change, and change is necessary. Great transi-

tions involve change with continuity of the things that matter, and 
I am confident we will see a continuity of what makes TD great. My 
successor, Bharat Masrani, has been my business partner almost since 
the day I arrived at TD. Both Bharat and I know that without our great 
leaders and fabulous team we would not have built The Better Bank. 

We are extremely excited about our journey ahead.

Chairman of the Board’s Message

While 2013 presented a challenging environment, TD continued to deliver on its vision to be The Better Bank, 
thanks to strong leadership, a sound business model and a dedicated team of employees. TD reported 
strong results in Canadian retail banking and Wealth in 2013, and hit an important milestone in the U.S. 
personal and commercial bank, delivering adjusted earnings of US$1.6 billion in that business. Achieving 
this goal was particularly impressive given regulatory changes that significantly impacted our U.S. personal 
banking revenues in recent years. For the bank overall, results were flat to last year, mainly due to challenges 
faced by the Insurance business. Nonetheless, TD was able to maintain a strong capital position and raised 
the dividend on TD’s common shares twice in 2013.

CONTINUITY OF LEADERSHIP 
In 2013, Ed Clark announced his decision to retire as Group President 
and CEO on November 1, 2014. Ed’s leadership has been the driving 
force behind the distinctive TD culture, focused on providing legendary 
customer service and creating a unique and inclusive workplace, while 
delivering value to shareholders. We are pleased that he will remain on 
the board until the 2015 AGM.

Ed’s announcement came in the context of an ongoing succession 
planning process overseen by the board. In addition to announcing that 
Bharat Masrani would serve as Chief Operating Officer beginning July 1, 
2013 and will become Group President and CEO on November 1, 2014, 
we also announced a series of appointments that defined the senior 
executive team who will lead the bank going forward. We are confident 
that Bharat, along with the leadership team, will provide continuity of 
our strategy, culture and values. 

BOARD COMPOSITION
Former Chairman John Thompson retired from the board this year. We 
thank him for his significant contributions over his 24 years as director, 
including seven years as Chair. We are pleased to welcome David Kepler 
to TD’s board. We expect to benefit from David’s many years of experi-
ence with large technology systems and operational risk management, 
along with his broad senior executive background. 

A PRIORITY ON CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
By continuing to place a high priority on robust corporate governance 
practices,  TD ensures  our  shareholders are  well served through the 
board’s counsel on matters that include risk management, strategy 
and talent. TD continues to receive awards for corporate governance, 
including this year’s Corporate Reporting Award of Excellence in the 
Corporate Governance category from the Chartered Professional 
Accountants Canada.

THE VIEW AHEAD
While the first-order effects of the financial crisis are behind us, its 
consequences linger to create a challenging and highly competitive 
operating environment. The board has confidence that TD’s leadership, 
strategy and people will enable the bank to continue its high level of 
performance for all stakeholders. I’d like to recognize the efforts of 
TD’s employees across the enterprise, whose great work is a key 
contributor to the bank’s success. TD employees show remarkable 
commitment to our customers and communities, as demonstrated by 
their outstanding efforts to help the Alberta communities that experi-
enced serious flooding in the summer of 2013.

On behalf of the board, I thank our shareholders for their ongoing 

support. We look forward to continuing to earn your trust in 2014.

Caution Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
From time to time, the Bank makes written and/or oral forward-looking statements, including in this document, in other filings with Canadian regulators or the U.S. 
Securities and Exchange Commission, and in other communications. In addition, representatives of the Bank may make forward-looking statements orally to analysts, 
investors, the media and others. All such statements are made pursuant to the “safe harbour” provisions of, and are intended to be forward-looking statements under, 
applicable Canadian and U.S. securities legislation, including the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements include, but are not 
limited to, statements made in this document, the Bank’s 2013 MD&A under the headings “Economic Summary and Outlook”, for each business segment “Business 
Outlook and Focus for 2014” and in other statements regarding the Bank’s objectives and priorities for 2014 and beyond and strategies to achieve them, and the 
Bank’s anticipated financial performance. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by words such as “will”, “should”, “believe”, “expect”, “anticipate”, 
“intend”, “estimate”, “plan”, “may”, and “could”.

By their very nature, these forward-looking statements require the Bank to make assumptions and are subject to inherent risks and uncertainties, general and 

specific. Especially in light of the uncertainty related to the physical, financial, economic, political, and regulatory environments, such risks and uncertainties – many of 
which are beyond the Bank’s control and the effects of which can be difficult to predict – may cause actual results to differ materially from the expectations expressed 
in the forward-looking statements. Risk factors that could cause such differences include: credit, market (including equity, commodity, foreign exchange, and interest 
rate), liquidity, operational (including technology), reputational, insurance, strategic, regulatory, legal, environmental, capital adequacy, and other risks. Examples of 
such risk factors include the general business and economic conditions in the regions in which the Bank operates; disruptions in or attacks (including cyber attacks) 
on the Bank’s information technology, internet, network access or other voice or data communications systems or services; the evolution of various types of fraud 
to which the Bank is exposed; the failure of third parties to comply with their obligations to the Bank or its affiliates relating to the care and control of information; 
the impact of recent legislative and regulatory developments; the overall difficult litigation environment, including in the United States; changes to the Bank’s credit 
ratings; changes in currency and interest rates; increased funding costs for credit due to market illiquidity and competition for funding; and the occurrence of natural 
and unnatural catastrophic events and claims resulting from such events. We caution that the preceding list is not exhaustive of all possible risk factors and other 
factors could also adversely affect the Bank’s results. For more detailed information, please see the “Risk Factors and Management” section of the 2013 MD&A, 
as may be updated in subsequently filed quarterly reports to shareholders and news releases (as applicable) related to any transactions discussed under the heading 
“Significant Events” in the relevant MD&A, which applicable releases may be found on www.td.com. All such factors should be considered carefully, as well as other 
uncertainties and potential events, and the inherent uncertainty of forward-looking statements, when making decisions with respect to the Bank and we caution 
readers not to place undue reliance on the Bank’s forward-looking statements.

Material economic assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements contained in this document are set out in the 2013 MD&A under the headings “Economic 
Summary and Outlook”, and for each business segment, “Business Outlook and Focus for 2014”, each as updated in subsequently filed quarterly reports to shareholders.
Any forward-looking statements contained in this document represent the views of management only as of the date hereof and are presented for the purpose of 
assisting the Bank’s shareholders and analysts in understanding the Bank’s financial position, objectives and priorities and anticipated financial performance as at and 
for the periods ended on the dates presented, and may not be appropriate for other purposes. The Bank does not undertake to update any forward-looking statements, 
whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time by or on its behalf, except as required under applicable securities legislation.

TD BANK GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2013 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSISFINANCIAL RESULTS OVERVIEW

CORPORATE OVERVIEW
The Toronto-Dominion Bank and its subsidiaries are collectively known as 
TD Bank Group. TD is the sixth largest bank in North America by branches 
and serves over 22 million customers in four key businesses operating 
in a number of locations in financial centres around the globe: Canadian 
Personal and Commercial Banking, Wealth and Insurance, U.S. Personal 
and Commercial Banking, and Wholesale Banking. TD also ranks among 
the world’s leading online financial services firms, with approximately 
8 million active online and mobile customers. TD had $862.5 billion in 
assets on October 31, 2013. The Toronto-Dominion Bank trades under 
the symbol “TD” on the Toronto and New York Stock Exchanges.

HOW THE BANK REPORTS
The Bank prepares its Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance 
with  IFRS,  the  current  generally  accepted  accounting  principles 
(GAAP),  and  refers  to  results  prepared  in  accordance  with  IFRS 
as “reported”  results.  The  Bank  also  utilizes  non-GAAP  financial 

measures referred to as “adjusted” results to assess each of its busi-
nesses and to measure the overall Bank performance. To arrive at 
adjusted results, the Bank removes “items of note”, net of income 
taxes, from reported results. The items of note relate to items which 
management does not believe are indicative of underlying business 
performance. The Bank believes that adjusted results provide the 
reader with a better understanding of how management views the 
Bank’s performance. The items of note are listed in the table on the 
following page. As explained, adjusted results are different from 
reported results determined in accordance with IFRS. Adjusted results, 
items of note, and related terms used in this document are not 
defined terms under IFRS and, therefore, may not be comparable 
to similar terms used by other issuers.

The following table provides the operating results – reported for the Bank.

items of note: 2013 – $54 million amortization of intangibles, as explained in 
footnote 8; 2012 – $57 million amortization of intangibles; 2011 – $59 million 
amortization of intangibles.

  8 Amortization of intangibles primarily relates to the TD Banknorth acquisition in 
2005 and its privatization in 2007, the acquisitions by TD Banknorth of Hudson 
United Bancorp in 2006 and Interchange Financial Services in 2007, the Commerce 
acquisition in 2008, the amortization of intangibles included in equity in net 
income of TD Ameritrade, the acquisition of the credit card portfolio of MBNA 
Canada in 2012, the acquisition of Target Corporation’s U.S. credit card portfolio in 
2013, and the Epoch Investment Partners, Inc. acquisition in 2013. Amortization of 
software is recorded in amortization of other intangibles; however, amortization 
of software is not included for purposes of items of note, which only includes 
amortization of other intangibles acquired as a result of asset acquisitions and 
business combinations.

  9 During 2008, as a result of deterioration in markets and severe dislocation in the 
credit  market,  the  Bank  changed  its  trading  strategy  with  respect  to  certain 
trading debt securities. Since the Bank no longer intended to actively trade in 
these debt securities, the Bank reclassified these debt securities from trading to 
the AFS category effective August 1, 2008. As part of the Bank’s trading strategy, 
these debt securities are economically hedged, primarily with CDS and interest 
rate swap contracts. This includes foreign exchange translation exposure related 
to the debt securities portfolio and the derivatives hedging it. These derivatives 
are not eligible for reclassification and are recorded on a fair value basis with 
changes in fair value recorded in the period’s earnings. Management believes that 
this asymmetry in the accounting treatment between derivatives and the reclassified 
debt securities results in volatility in earnings from period to period that is not 
indicative of the economics of the underlying business performance in Wholesale 
Banking. The Bank may from time to time replace securities within the portfolio 
to best utilize the initial, matched fixed term funding. As a result, the derivatives 
are accounted for on an accrual basis in Wholesale Banking and the gains and 
losses related to the derivatives in excess of the accrued amounts are reported in 
the Corporate segment. Adjusted results of the Bank exclude the gains and losses 
of the derivatives in excess of the accrued amount.

 10 As a result of U.S. Personal and Commercial Banking acquisitions, the Bank incurred 
integration charges and direct transaction costs. Integration charges consist of 
costs related to information technology, employee retention, external professional 
consulting charges, marketing (including customer communication and rebranding), 
integration-related travel costs, employee severance costs, the costs of amending 
certain executive employment and award agreements, contract termination fees 
and the write-down of long-lived assets due to impairment. Direct transaction 
costs are expenses directly incurred in effecting a business combination and consist 
primarily of finders’ fees, advisory fees, and legal fees. The first quarter of 2012 
was the last quarter U.S. Personal and Commercial Banking included any further 
integration charges or direct transaction costs as an item of note.

  11 The Bank purchases CDS to hedge the credit risk in Wholesale Banking’s corporate 
lending portfolio. These CDS do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment and 
are measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in current period’s 
earnings. The related loans are accounted for at amortized cost. Management 
believes that this asymmetry in the accounting treatment between CDS and loans 
would result in periodic profit and loss volatility which is not indicative of the 
economics of the corporate loan portfolio or the underlying business performance 
in Wholesale Banking. As a result, the CDS are accounted for on an accrual basis 
in  Wholesale  Banking  and  the  gains  and  losses  on  the  CDS,  in  excess  of  the 
accrued cost, are reported in the Corporate segment. When a credit event occurs 
in the corporate loan book that has an associated CDS hedge, the PCL related to 
the portion that was hedged through the CDS is netted against this item of note.
  12 As a result of the Chrysler Financial acquisition in Canada and the U.S., the Bank 
incurred integration charges and direct transaction costs. As well, the Bank expe-
rienced volatility in earnings as a result of changes in fair value of contingent 
consideration. Integration charges consist of costs related to information technol-
ogy, employee retention, external professional consulting charges, marketing 
(including customer communication and rebranding), integration-related travel 
costs, employee severance costs, the costs of amending certain executive employ-
ment and award agreements, contract termination fees, and the write-down of 
long-lived assets due to impairment. Direct transaction costs are expenses directly 
incurred in effecting a business combination and consist primarily of finders’ fees, 
advisory fees, and legal fees. Contingent consideration is defined as part of the 
purchase agreement, whereby the Bank is required to pay additional cash consid-
eration in the event that amounts realized on certain assets exceed a pre-estab-
lished threshold. Contingent consideration is recorded at fair value on the date 
of acquisition. Changes in fair value subsequent to acquisition are recorded in 
the Consolidated Statement of Income. Adjusted earnings exclude the gains and 
losses on contingent consideration in excess of the acquisition date fair value. 
While integration charges and direct transaction costs related to this acquisition 
were incurred for both Canada and the U.S., the majority of these charges relate 
to integration initiatives undertaken for U.S. Personal and Commercial Banking. 
The fourth quarter of 2012 was the last quarter U.S. Personal and Commercial 
Banking included any further Chrysler Financial-related integration charges or 
direct transaction costs as an item of note.

  13 As a result of the acquisition of the credit card portfolio of MBNA Canada, as well 
as certain other assets and liabilities, the Bank incurred integration charges and 
direct transaction costs. Integration charges consist of costs related to information 
technology, employee retention, external professional consulting charges, market-
ing (including customer communication, rebranding and certain charges against 
revenue related to promotional-rate card origination activities), integration-related 
travel costs, employee severance costs, the cost of amending certain executive 
employment and award agreements, contract termination fees, and the write-
down of long-lived assets due to impairment. Direct transaction costs are 
expenses directly incurred in effecting the business combination and consist 
primarily of finders’ fees, advisory fees and legal fees. Integration charges and 
direct transaction costs related to this acquisition are incurred by Canadian 
Personal and Commercial Banking. The integration charges to date are higher 
than what was anticipated when the transaction was announced. The elevated 

spending is primarily due to additional costs incurred (other than the amounts 
capitalized) to build out technology platforms for the business.

  14 As a result of certain adverse judgments and settlements in the U.S. in 2012 and 
after continued evaluation of this portfolio of cases throughout that year, the 
Bank took prudent steps to determine, in accordance with applicable accounting 
standards, that the litigation provision of $413 million ($248 million after tax) 
was required. In 2013, the Bank further reassessed its litigation provisions and 
determined that additional litigation and litigation-related charges of $97 million 
($70 million after tax) and $30 million ($30 million after tax) were required   
as a result of recent developments and settlements reached in the U.S.

  15 Excluding the impact related to the credit card portfolio of MBNA Canada and 
other consumer loan portfolios (which is recorded in Canadian Personal and 
Commercial Banking), “Reduction of allowance for incurred but not identified credit 
losses”, formerly known as “General allowance increase (release) in Canadian 
Personal and Commercial Banking and Wholesale Banking” was $162 million 
($120 million after tax) in fiscal 2012, all of which was attributable to the Whole-
sale Banking and non-MBNA related Canadian Personal and Commercial Banking 
loan portfolios. Beginning in 2013, the change in the “allowance for incurred 
but not identified credit losses” in the normal course of business is included in 
Corporate segment net income and is no longer be recorded as an item of note.

  16 This represents the impact of changes in the income tax statutory rate on net 

deferred income tax balances.

  17 In the third quarter of 2013, the Bank recorded a provision for credit losses of 

$65 million ($48 million after tax) for residential loan losses from Alberta flooding. 
In the fourth quarter of 2013, a provision of $40 million ($29 million after tax) was 
released. The reduction in the provision reflects an updated estimate incorporating 
more current information regarding the extent of damage, actual delinquencies in 
impacted areas, and greater certainty regarding payments to be received under the 
Alberta Disaster Recovery Program and from property and default insurance.

 18 The Bank provided $62 million ($37 million after tax) in fiscal 2012 for certain  
estimated losses resulting from Superstorm Sandy which primarily relate to an 
increase in provision for credit losses, fixed asset impairments and charges against 
revenue relating to fee reversals.

 19 The Bank undertook certain measures commencing in the fourth quarter of 2013, 
which are expected to continue through fiscal year 2014, to reduce costs in a 
sustainable manner and achieve greater operational efficiencies. To implement 
these measures, the Bank recorded a provision of $129 million ($90 million after 
tax) for restructuring initiatives related primarily to retail branch and real estate 
optimization initiatives.

 20 On September 16, 2013, the Bank (i) confirmed that it had entered into an 

agreement pursuant to which TD will become the primary issuer of Aeroplan 
Visa credit cards commencing on January 1, 2014 (the “affinity relationship”); 
and (ii) announced that the Bank will acquire approximately 50% of the existing 
Aeroplan credit card portfolio from CIBC. During the fourth quarter of 2013, 
in preparation for the affinity relationship with Aimia Inc. and the expected 
acquisition of part of the CIBC credit card portfolio, the Bank incurred program 
set-up costs related to information technology, external professional consulting, 
marketing, training, and program management. These costs are included as an 
item of note in the Canadian Personal and Commercial Banking segment.

ECONOMIC PROFIT AND RETURN ON COMMON EQUITY
The Bank’s methodology for allocating capital to its business segments 
is aligned with the common equity capital requirements under Basel III 
at a 7% Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) ratio. The return measures for 
business segments reflect a return on common equity methodology.

The Bank utilizes economic profit as a tool to measure shareholder 

value creation. Economic profit is adjusted net income available to 
common shareholders less a charge for average common equity. The 
rate used in the charge for average common equity is the equity cost 
of capital calculated using the capital asset pricing model. The charge 
represents an assumed minimum return required by common share-
holders on the Bank’s common equity. The Bank’s goal is to achieve 
positive and growing economic profit.

Adjusted return on common equity (ROE) is adjusted net income 
available to common shareholders as a percentage of average common 
equity. ROE is a percentage rate and is a variation of economic profit 
which is a dollar measure. When ROE exceeds the equity cost of capital, 
economic profit is positive.

Economic profit and adjusted ROE are non-GAAP financial measures 
as these are not defined terms under IFRS. Readers are cautioned that 
earnings and other measures adjusted to a basis other than IFRS do 
not have standardized meanings under IFRS and, therefore, may not 
be comparable to similar terms used by other issuers.

3  Economic profit is calculated based on average common equity. Prior to 2012, 

economic profit was calculated based on average invested capital. Had this change 
been done on a retroactive basis, economic profit for the Bank, calculated based 
on average common equity, would have been $2,947 million for 2011.

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS IN 2013
Acquisition of Target Corporation’s U.S. Credit Card Portfolio
On March 13, 2013, the Bank, through its subsidiary, TD Bank USA, 
N.A., acquired substantially all of Target Corporation’s existing U.S. 
Visa and private label credit card portfolios (Target), with a gross 
outstanding balance of $5.8 billion. TD Bank USA, N.A. also entered 
into a seven-year program agreement under which it will become the 
exclusive issuer of Target-branded Visa and private label consumer 
credit cards to Target Corporation’s U.S. customers.

Under the terms of the program agreement, the Bank and Target 
Corporation share in the profits generated by the portfolios. Target 
Corporation is responsible for all elements of operations and customer 
service, and bears most of the operating costs to service the assets. 
The Bank controls risk management policies and regulatory compli-
ance, and bears all costs relating to funding the receivables for existing 
Target Visa accounts and all existing and newly issued Target private 
label accounts in the U.S. The Bank accounted for the purchase as an 
asset acquisition. The results of the acquisition from the acquisition 
date to October 31, 2013 have been recorded in the U.S. Personal 
and Commercial Banking segment.

At the date of acquisition the Bank recorded the credit card receiv-
ables acquired at their fair value of $5.7 billion and intangible assets 
totalling $98 million. The gross amount of revenue and credit losses 
have been recorded on the Consolidated Statement of Income since 
that date. Target Corporation shares in a fixed percentage of the 
revenue and credit losses incurred. Target Corporation’s net share of 
revenue and credit losses is recorded in Non-interest expenses on the 
Consolidated Statement of Income and related receivables from, or 
payables to, Target Corporation are recorded in Other assets or Other 
liabilities, respectively, on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Acquisition of Epoch Investment Partners, Inc.
On March 27, 2013, the Bank acquired 100% of the outstanding equity of 
Epoch Holding Corporation including its wholly-owned subsidiary Epoch 
Investment Partners, Inc. (Epoch), a New York-based asset management 
firm. Epoch was acquired for cash consideration of $674 million. Epoch 
Holding Corporation shareholders received US$28 in cash per share.

The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination under the 
purchase method. The results of the acquisition from the acquisition date 
have been consolidated with the Bank’s results and are reported in the 
Wealth and Insurance segment. As at March 27, 2013, the acquisition 
contributed $34 million of tangible assets, and $9 million of liabilities. 
The excess of consideration over the fair value of the acquired net assets 
of $649 million has been allocated to customer relationship intangibles 
of $149 million and goodwill of $500 million. Goodwill is not expected 
to be deductible for tax purposes. For the year ended October 31, 2013, 
the acquisition contributed $96 million to revenue and $2 million to 
net income.

Sale of TD Waterhouse Institutional Services
On November 12, 2013, TD Waterhouse Canada Inc., a subsidiary of 
the Bank, completed the sale of the Bank’s institutional services busi-
ness, known as TD Waterhouse Institutional Services, to a subsidiary 
of National Bank of Canada. The transaction price was $250 million, 
subject to certain price adjustment mechanisms. The effects of the sale 
will be recorded in the first quarter of fiscal 2014.

Agreement with Aimia Inc. and Acquisition of certain CIBC 
Aeroplan Credit Card Accounts
On August 12, 2013, the Bank and Aimia Inc. (Aimia) announced that 
the Bank will become the primary credit card issuer for Aeroplan, 
a loyalty program owned by Aimia, starting on January 1, 2014. On 
September 16, 2013, the Bank, Aimia, and the Canadian Imperial Bank 
of Commerce (CIBC) jointly announced agreements under which the 
Bank will also acquire approximately 50% of CIBC’s existing Aeroplan 
credit card portfolio, which will primarily include accounts held by 
customers who do not have an existing retail banking relationship with 
CIBC. The Bank expects to acquire approximately 550,000 cardholder 
accounts, representing approximately $3 billion in card balances and 
$20 billion in annual retail spend. The Bank will pay a purchase price 
of par plus $50 million for the CIBC Aeroplan accounts. In addition, 
the Bank will pay CIBC a further $112.5 million plus HST over three 
years under a commercial subsidy agreement. Depending on the 

migration of Aeroplan-branded credit card accounts between CIBC 
and TD over the next five years, TD, Aimia, and CIBC have agreed to 
make additional potential payments of up to $400 million. TD will be 
responsible for, or entitled to receive, up to $300 million of these 
potential payments.

Additionally, TD will make a $100 million upfront payment to Aimia 

to assist in the development and maintenance of the new Distinction 
program. The minimum miles purchase commitment is a five-year 
volume commitment based on miles purchases by TD and CIBC. These 
payments by TD, in aggregate, would not exceed $95 million. Also, 
TD and Aimia will undertake a joint marketing spend of approximately 
$140 million in the first four years of the program to support the new 
Aeroplan Visa co-branded credit cards and program features.

The CIBC portfolio acquisition is subject to customary closing 
conditions and is expected to close in the first quarter of fiscal 2014.

FINANCIAL RESULTS OVERVIEW

Net Income

AT A GLANCE OVERVIEW
•   Reported net income was $6,662 million, an increase 

of $191 million, or 3%, compared with last year.

•   Adjusted net income was $7,158 million, an increase 

of $83 million, or 1%, compared with last year.

Reported net income for the year was $6,662 million, an increase of 
$191 million, or 3%, compared with $6,471 million last year. Adjusted 
net income for the year was $7,158 million, an increase of $83 million, 
or 1%, compared with $7,075 million last year. The increase in 
adjusted net income was due to higher earnings in the Canadian 
Personal and Commercial Banking and U.S. Personal and Commercial 
Banking segments, partially offset by lower earnings in the Wealth and 
Insurance and Wholesale Banking segments. Canadian Personal and 
Commercial Banking net income increased primarily due to good 
volume growth, favourable credit performance, and effective expense 
management. U.S. Personal and Commercial Banking net income 
increased primarily due to strong loan and deposit volume growth, 
higher fee-based revenue, and gains on sales of securities and debt 
securities classified as loans, partially offset by lower margins and 
higher expenses to support business growth. Wealth and Insurance net 
income decreased due to increased claims and related expenses in the 
Insurance business, partially offset by higher fee-based revenue in the 
Wealth business and higher earnings in TD Ameritrade. Wholesale 
Banking net income decreased due to lower trading-related revenue 
and lower security gains in the investment portfolio.

Reported diluted earnings per share for the year were $6.91 this year, 
a 2% increase, compared with $6.76 last year. Adjusted diluted earnings 
per share for the year were $7.45 compared with $7.42 last year.

Impact  of  Foreign  Exchange  Rate  on  U.S.  Personal  and 
Commercial Banking and TD Ameritrade Translated Earnings
U.S. Personal and Commercial Banking earnings and the Bank’s share 
of earnings from TD Ameritrade are impacted by fluctuations in the 
U.S. dollar to Canadian dollar exchange rate compared with last year.
Depreciation of the Canadian dollar had a favourable impact on 
consolidated earnings for the year ended October 31, 2013, compared 
with last year, as shown in the table below.

Revenue

AT A GLANCE OVERVIEW
•   Reported revenue1 was $27,262 million, an increase 
of $1,716 million, or 7%, compared with last year.
•   Adjusted revenue1 was $27,191 million, an increase 
of $1,514 million, or 6%, compared with last year.

•   Reported net interest income increased by $1,052 million, 

or 7%, compared with last year.

•   Adjusted net interest income increased by $1,016 million, 

or 7%, compared with last year.

•   Reported non-interest income1 increased by $664 million, 

or 6%, compared with last year.

•   Adjusted non-interest income1 increased by $498 million, 

or 5%, compared with last year.

NET INTEREST INCOME
Net interest income for the year on a reported and adjusted basis was 
$16,078 million, an increase of $1,052 million, or 7%, on a reported 
basis, and an increase of $1,016 million, or 7%, on an adjusted basis. 
The increase in adjusted net interest income was driven primarily by 
increases in the U.S. Personal and Commercial Banking, Canadian 
Personal and Commercial Banking, and Wholesale Banking segments. 
U.S. Personal and Commercial Banking net interest income increased 
primarily due to the inclusion of revenue from Target and strong loan 
and deposit volume, partially offset by lower margin and loan accre-
tion. Canadian Personal and Commercial Banking net interest income 
increased primarily due to good portfolio volume growth, partially 
offset by lower margin. Wholesale Banking net interest income 
increased primarily due to higher trading-related net interest income.

NET INTEREST MARGIN
Net interest margin declined by 3 basis points (bps) in the year to 
2.20% from 2.23% last year. Lower margin in Canadian Personal 
and Commercial Banking was partially offset by the higher margin 
in U.S. Personal and Commercial Banking. The U.S. Personal and 
Commercial Banking margin rose due to the impact of Target, 
partially offset by core margin compression.

1  Effective 2013, Insurance revenue and Insurance claims and related expenses are 

presented on a gross basis on the Consolidated Statement of Income. Comparative 
amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current period presentation.

NON-INTEREST INCOME 1
Non-interest income for the year on a reported basis was $11,184 million, 
an increase of $664 million, or 6%, compared with last year. Adjusted 
non-interest income for the year was $11,113 million, an increase of 
$498 million, or 5%, compared with last year. The increase in adjusted 
non-interest income was primarily driven by increases in the Wealth 
and Insurance and U.S. Personal and Commercial Banking segments, 
partially offset by declines in the Wholesale Banking and Corporate 
segments. Wealth and Insurance non-interest income increased 
primarily due to higher fee-based revenue from asset growth and 

the addition of Epoch in the Wealth business and premium growth in 
the Insurance business, partially offset by the sale of the U.S. Insurance 
business. U.S. Personal and Commercial Banking non-interest income 
increased primarily due to higher fee-based revenue and gains on sales 
securities and debt securities classified as loans. Wholesale Banking 
non-interest income decreased primarily due to lower security gains  
in the investment portfolio and lower mergers and acquisitions (M&A) 
and advisory fees. Corporate segment non-interest income decreased 
primarily due to lower gains from treasury and other hedging activities.

TRADING-RELATED INCOME
Trading-related income is the total of net interest income on trading 
positions, trading income (loss), and income from financial instruments 
designated at fair value through profit or loss that are managed within 
a trading portfolio. Trading-related income decreased by $76 million, 
or 7% from 2012. The decrease was primarily in equity and other 
portfolios, partially offset by an increase in interest rate and credit 
portfolios compared to the prior year. Equity and other portfolios 
decreased as the prior year included gains on trading positions that 

were previously considered impaired. Interest rate and credit trading 
improved on increased client activity in 2013.

The mix of trading-related income between net interest income 
and trading income is largely dependent upon the level of interest 
rates, which drives the funding costs of the Bank’s trading portfolios. 
Generally, as interest rates rise, net interest income declines and trad-
ing income reported in non-interest income increases. Management 
believes that the total trading-related income is the appropriate 
measure of trading performance.

with 51.3% last year.

NON-INTEREST EXPENSES
Reported non-interest expenses for the year were $15,042 million, an 
increase of $1,044 million, or 7%, compared with last year. Adjusted non-
interest expenses were $14,363 million, an increase of $1,201 million, 
or 9%, compared with last year. The increase in adjusted non-interest 
expenses was driven by increases in the U.S. Personal and Commercial 
Banking, Wealth and Insurance, Canadian Personal and Commercial 
Banking, and Corporate segments. U.S. Personal and Commercial 
Banking expenses increased primarily due to increased expenses 
related to Target, investments in new stores, and other planned 
initiatives, partially offset by productivity gains. Wealth and Insurance 
expenses increased primarily due to higher revenue-based variable 
expenses and the addition of Epoch in the Wealth business, partially 
offset by the sale of the U.S. Insurance business. Canadian Personal 
and Commercial Banking expenses increased primarily due to higher 
expenses from full year inclusion of MBNA, volume growth, merit 
increases and investment in initiatives to grow the business, partially 
offset by productivity gains. Corporate segment expenses increased 
primarily due to higher pension and strategic initiative costs.

FINANCIAL RESULTS OVERVIEW

Quarterly Financial Information

FOURTH QUARTER 2013 PERFORMANCE SUMMARY
Reported net income for the quarter was $1,622 million, an increase 
of $25 million, or 2%, compared with the fourth quarter last year. 
Adjusted net income for the quarter was $1,821 million, an increase 
of $64 million, or 4%, compared with the fourth quarter last year. 
Reported diluted earnings per share for the quarter were $1.68, 
compared with $1.66 in the fourth quarter last year. Adjusted diluted 
earnings per share for the quarter were $1.90, compared with 
$1.83 in the fourth quarter last year.

Revenue for the quarter was $7,001 million, an increase of $424 million, 

or 6%, on a reported basis, and $7,018 million on an adjusted basis, 
an increase of $403 million, or 6%, compared with the fourth quarter 
last year. The increase in adjusted revenue was driven by increases in 
the U.S. Personal and Commercial Banking and Wealth and Insurance 
segments, partially offset by decreases in the Wholesale Banking and 
Corporate segments. U.S. Personal and Commercial Banking revenue 
increased primarily due to the inclusion of revenue from Target, strong 
organic loan and deposit growth, partially offset by lower margins. 
Wealth and Insurance revenue increased primarily due to fee-based 
asset growth and the addition of Epoch in the Wealth business and 
premium growth in the Insurance business, partially offset by the sale 
of the U.S. Insurance business. Wholesale Banking revenue decreased 
due to lower security gains in the investment portfolio partially offset 
by higher trading-related revenue. Corporate segment revenue 
decreased  primarily  due  to  lower  gains  from  treasury  and  other 
hedging activities.

Provision for credit losses for the quarter was $352 million, a decrease 

of $213 million, or 38%, on a reported basis, and $392 million on an 
adjusted basis, a decrease of $119 million, or 23%, compared with the 
fourth quarter last year. The decrease was primarily driven by decreases 
in the Canadian Personal and Commercial Banking and U.S. Personal 
and Commercial Banking segments. Canadian Personal and Commercial 
Banking PCL decreased primarily due to favourable credit performance, 
lower bankruptcies, and elevated PCL in the fourth quarter last year 
due to an adjustment related to past due accounts. U.S. Personal and 
Commercial Banking PCL decreased primarily due to impact of the 
new  regulatory  guidance  recorded  in  the  fourth  quarter  last  year 
and  improved credit quality of commercial loans, partially offset by 
provisions for credit card loans acquired from Target and increased 
provisions in auto loans.

Non-interest expenses for the quarter were $4,157 million, an increase 

of $551 million, or 15%, on a reported basis, and $3,883 million on an 
adjusted basis, an increase of $390 million, or 11%, compared with the 
fourth quarter last year. The increase in adjusted non-interest expenses 
was primarily driven by an increase in U.S. Personal and Commercial 
Banking due to increased expenses related to Target, investments in new 
stores, and other growth initiatives, partially offset by productivity gains.
The Bank’s reported effective tax rate was 13.5% for the quarter, 
compared with 10.4% in the same quarter last year. The year-over-year 
increase was largely due to a decrease in earnings reported by our 
subsidiaries operating in jurisdictions with lower tax rates. The Bank’s 
adjusted effective tax rate was 15.0% for the quarter, compared with 
12.3% in the same quarter last year. The year-over-year increase was 
largely due to a decrease in earnings reported by our subsidiaries 
operating in jurisdictions with lower tax rates.

QUARTERLY TREND ANALYSIS
The Bank has had solid underlying adjusted earnings growth over the 
past eight quarters. Canadian Personal and Commercial Banking earn-
ings have been solid with good loan and deposit volume growth, the 
acquisition of the credit card portfolio of MBNA Canada, and better 
credit performance, partially offset by lower margins. U.S. Personal 
and Commercial Banking earnings have benefited from strong organic 
loan and deposit volume growth, elevated security gains, and Target, 
partially offset by lower margins and higher expenses to support busi-
ness growth. Wealth and Insurance earnings have been negatively 
impacted by unfavourable prior years’ claims development related to 
the Ontario auto insurance market and higher claims from weather-
related events in the Insurance business, offset by higher fee-based 
revenue in the Wealth business. The earnings contribution from the 
Bank’s reported investment in TD Ameritrade has increased over the 
past two years primarily due to higher base earnings in TD Ameritrade. 
After a relatively strong 2012, Wholesale Banking earnings have been 
trending downwards in 2013 primarily due to reduced security gains 
and capital market activity.

The Bank’s earnings have seasonal impacts, principally the second 

quarter being affected by fewer business days.

The Bank’s earnings are also impacted by market-driven events and 

changes in foreign exchange rates.

BUSINESS SEGMENT ANALYSIS

Business Focus

For management reporting purposes, the Bank’s operations and activities are organized around the 
following operating business segments: Canadian Personal and Commercial Banking, Wealth and 
Insurance, U.S. Personal and Commercial Banking, and Wholesale Banking.

Canadian Personal and Commercial Banking comprises Canadian 
personal and business banking, TD Auto Finance Canada, as well as 
the Canadian credit card business. Under the TD Canada Trust brand, 
personal  banking  provides  a  full  range  of  financial  products  and

1,179 branches  and  2,845  automated  banking  machines  and  tele-
phone, internet and mobile banking. TD Commercial Banking serves 
the needs of medium and large Canadian businesses by offering a 
broad range of customized products and services to help business 
owners meet their financing, investment, cash management, interna-
tional trade, and day-to-day banking needs. TD Auto Finance provides 
flexible financing options to customers at point-of-sale for automotive 
and recreational vehicle purchases through our auto dealer network. 
TD Credit Card businesses, which includes Visa and the credit card 
portfolio of MBNA Canada, provides an attractive line-up of credit 
cards including co-branded and affinity credit card programs.

Wealth and Insurance comprises the Bank’s Wealth Management 
and Insurance businesses globally, including operations in Canada, 
the U.S. and Europe.

TD Wealth offers a wide range of wealth products and services 
to a large and diverse set of retail and institutional clients in Canada, 
the U.S. and Europe.

TD Wealth consists of Direct Investing, Advice-based, and Asset 

Management businesses. Each of these businesses is focused on 
providing an exceptional client experience aligned with the TD brand.
In the global Direct Investing business, TD has a leading market 
share, providing a full set of offerings to retail clients in Canada and 
the U.K. In the U.S., TD has an investment in TD Ameritrade, which is 
the industry-leader in direct investing as measured by average trades 
per day. TD’s North American Advice-based business includes financial 
planning, full service brokerage, private banking and private invest-
ment counsel. In each case, TD’s Advice-based business is focused on 
delivering a value proposition that is matched to our clients’ needs and 
delivered in an integrated fashion. TD Asset Management (TDAM) is 
a leading North American investment manager comprising both retail 
(for example, mutual funds) and institutional capabilities. Our institu-
tional clients include leading pension funds, corporations, endowments 
and foundations both in Canada and the U.S.

TD Insurance manufactures and distributes property and casualty insur-
ance and life and health insurance products in Canada. The property and 
casualty business offers personal lines home and auto insurance through 
direct distribution channels and is the number one direct writer, number 
one affinity writer, number one bank insurer and number two personal 
lines writer of property and casualty insurance in Canada. The life and 
health insurance business offers authorized credit protection and travel 
insurance products primarily through TD Canada Trust branches. It also 
offers other simple life and health products such as term life, critical 
illness, accident and sickness, and credit card balance protection 
products through direct distribution channels.

U.S. Personal and Commercial Banking comprises the Bank’s retail 
and commercial banking operations in the U.S. operating under the 
brand TD Bank, America’s Most Convenient Bank. The retail operations 
provide a full range of financial products and services through multiple 
delivery channels, including a network of 1,317 stores located along the 
east coast from Maine to Florida, telephone, mobile and internet bank-
ing and automated banking machines, allowing customers to have bank-
ing access virtually anywhere and anytime. U.S. Personal and Commercial 
Banking also serves the needs of businesses, customizing a broad range 

22

of products and services to meet their financing, investment, cash 
management, international trade, and day-to-day banking needs.

Wholesale Banking provides  a wide  range  of  capital markets and 
investment banking products and services including underwriting and 
distribution of new debt and equity issues, providing advice on strategic 
acquisitions and divestitures, and meeting the daily trading, funding 
and investment needs of our clients. Operating under the TD Securities 
brand, our clients include highly-rated companies, governments, and 
institutions in key financial markets around the world. Wholesale Banking 
is an integrated part of TD’s strategy, providing market access to TD’s 
wealth and retail operations and providing wholesale banking solutions 
to our partners and their customers.

The  Bank’s  other  business activities  are  not considered reportable 
segments and are, therefore, grouped in the Corporate segment. The 
Corporate segment includes the impact of treasury and balance sheet 
management activities, general provision for credit losses, tax items at 
an enterprise level, the elimination of taxable equivalent and other inter-
company adjustments, and residual unallocated revenue and expenses.

Effective December 1, 2011, results of the acquisition of the credit 
card portfolio of MBNA Canada (MBNA) are reported primarily in the 
Canadian Personal and Commercial Banking and Wealth and Insurance 
segments.  Integration  charges and  direct transaction  costs relating 
to the acquisition of  MBNA  are reported in Canadian Personal and 
Commercial  Banking. The  results  of TD Auto Finance Canada are 
reported in Canadian Personal and Commercial Banking. The results 
of TD Auto Finance U.S. are reported in U.S. Personal and Commercial 
Banking. Integration charges, direct transaction costs, and changes in 
fair value of contingent consideration related to the Chrysler Financial 
acquisition were reported in the Corporate segment.

Effective March 13, 2013, results of Target are reported in U.S. 
Personal and Commercial Banking. Effective March 27, 2013, the 
results of Epoch are reported in Wealth and Insurance.

Results of each business segment reflect revenue, expenses, assets, 
and liabilities generated by the businesses in that segment. The Bank 
measures and evaluates the performance of each segment based on 
adjusted results where applicable, and for those segments the Bank 
notes that the measure is adjusted. Net income for the operating busi-
ness segments is presented before any items of note not attributed to 
the operating segments. For further details, see the “How the Bank 
Reports” section in the MD&A. For information concerning the Bank’s 
measures of economic profit and adjusted return on common equity, 
which are non-GAAP financial measures, see the “Economic Profit 
and Return on Common Equity” section. Segmented information also 
appears in Note 31 to the 2013 Consolidated Financial Statements.
Net interest income within Wholesale Banking is calculated on a 
taxable equivalent basis (TEB), which means that the value of non-
taxable or tax-exempt income including dividends, is adjusted to its 
equivalent before-tax value. Using TEB allows the Bank to measure 
income from all securities and loans consistently and makes for a more 
meaningful comparison of net interest income with similar institutions. 
The TEB increase to net interest income and provision for income taxes 
reflected in Wholesale Banking results is reversed in the Corporate 
segment. The TEB adjustment for the year was $332 million, compared 
with $327 million last year.

As noted in Note 8 to the 2013 Consolidated Financial Statements, 
the Bank continues to securitize retail loans and receivables, however 
under  IFRS,  the  majority  of  these  loans  and  receivables  remain 
on-balance sheet.

TD BANK GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2013 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSISThe “Business Outlook and Focus for 2014” section for each segment, 
provided on the following pages, is based on the Bank’s views and the 
assumptions set out in the “Economic Summary and Outlook” section 

and the  actual  outcome  may  be materially different. For more infor-
mation, see the “Caution Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” 
section and the “Risk Factors That May Affect Future Results” section.

ECONOMIC SUMMARY AND OUTLOOK
The Canadian economy is currently entrenched in a modest growth, 
low inflation environment. After weak 1% growth in the second half 
of 2012, the Canadian economy strengthened in the first half of 2013, 
recording real GDP advances of 2.5% and 1.7% in the January-March 
and April-June periods, respectively. Looking ahead, the Canadian 
economy is expected to improve, but with moderate economic growth.
Specifically, domestic demand is likely to remain modest as both 
consumers and governments restrain spending to focus on balancing 
their finances. Consumers have already made progress slowing their 
pace of debt accumulation as household credit growth has slowed to 
its lowest pace in over a decade. A generally more subdued housing 
sector will also contribute to modest growth in the domestic economy. 
The Canadian housing market had shown renewed strength in 2013 
after tighter mortgage restrictions slowed the market last year. 
However, an erosion in affordability is expected to limit growth in sales 
activity and prices for the foreseeable future. Residential construction 
activity overall has slowed relative to last year, and that trend is likely 
to continue over the next two years.

Inflation in Canada has been low, reflecting muted growth in 2012 
combined with heightened competitive pressures in the retail market. 
With excess capacity expected to persist over the coming quarters, 
inflation pressures are expected to build very gradually. In this environ-
ment, the Bank of Canada is expected to keep short-term interest rates 
at current levels until mid-2015, at which time a gradual increase is 
likely to occur.

After a challenging 2012, the Canadian export sector has been 
improving. A more notable increase is expected next year alongside 
stronger growth in the United States and a depreciating Canadian 
dollar. Once the export trend is more established, Canadian businesses 
are also expected to expand their investment activity. Slumping profits 
have held back capital expenditures recently, but profit growth is 
forecast to resume over the near term.

The United States economy continues to make progress, as the 

private sector gains momentum alongside its housing sector. However, 
overall U.S. economic growth has been held back by tax increases and 
government spending cuts. Despite these fiscal headwinds, job growth 
has remained relatively strong and the unemployment rate is expected 
to decline further over the next two years. Against this backdrop of 
improving economic fundamentals, the U.S. Federal Reserve is expected 
to reduce its extraordinary asset purchase program beginning early in 
2014. Inflation has been subdued, and is expected to increase gradually 
over the coming quarters. This is consistent with the expectation that 
the U.S. Federal Reserve Board (U.S. Federal Reserve) is likely to leave 
interest rates unchanged until the second half of 2015. Economic 
growth in the United States is expected to continue to outpace growth 
in Canada over the next several years.

INDUSTRY PROFILE
The personal and business banking environment in Canada is very 
competitive among the major banks as well as some strong regional 
players. The increased competition makes it difficult to sustain market 
share gains and distinctive competitive advantage over the long term. 
Continued success depends upon delivering outstanding customer 
service and convenience, disciplined risk management practices, and 
good expense management.

OVERALL BUSINESS STRATEGY
The strategy for Canadian Personal and Commercial Banking is to:
•   Consistently deliver a legendary customer experience in everything 

we do.

•   Be recognized as an extraordinary place to work.
•   Build on the momentum of higher growth businesses.
•   Make the customer and employee experience simple, fast and  

easy in order to drive efficiency.

•   Invest in the future to deliver top tier earnings performance  

consistently.

segments to align with the common equity capital requirements under Basel III at a 
7% Common Equity Tier 1 ratio. The return measures for business segments will now 
be return on common equity rather than return on invested capital. These changes 
have been applied prospectively. Return on invested capital, which was used as the 
return measure in prior periods, has not been restated to return on common equity.

REVIEW OF FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
Canadian Personal and Commercial Banking reported net income for 
the year was a record $3,654 million, an increase of $350 million, or 
11%, compared with last year. Adjusted net income for the year was 
a record $3,766 million, an increase of $358 million, or 11%, compared 
with last year. The increase in adjusted earnings was driven by good 
volume growth, lower credit losses, and effective expense management. 
The reported return on common equity for the year was 46.8%, while 
the adjusted return on common equity was 48.3%, compared with 
42.9% and 44.2%, respectively, last year.

Reported revenue for the year was $11,040 million, an increase of 
$388 million, or 4%, compared with last year. Adjusted revenue for 
the year was $11,040 million, an increase of $352 million, or 3%, 
compared with last year. Net interest income growth was driven by 
good portfolio volume growth, higher mortgage refinancing revenue, 
and an additional month of MBNA, partially offset by lower margin on 
average earning assets and the inclusion of the MBNA credit mark 
releases last year. Personal lending volume growth slowed throughout 
the year impacted by lower growth in the housing market, moderation 
in household borrowing, and regulatory changes in the Canadian 
market which tightened mortgage eligibility criteria. Business lending 
growth was strong and market share increased. Compared with last 
year, average real estate secured lending volume increased $8.9 billion, 
or 4%. Auto lending average volume increased $0.3 billion, or 2%, 
while all other personal lending average volumes were relatively flat. 
Business loans and acceptances average volumes increased $5.2 billion, 
or 13%. Average personal deposit volumes increased $6.3 billion, or 
4%, due to strong growth in core chequing and savings volume, 
partially offset by lower term deposit volume. Average business deposit 
volumes increased $5.2 billion, or 8%. Reported margin on average 
earning assets decreased 1 bp to 2.81%, while the adjusted margin on 
average earning assets decreased 3 bps to 2.81%, due to a decline in 
deposit margins from the low rate environment. Non-interest income 
growth of 3% was driven by volume-related fee growth and the inclu-
sion of an additional month of MBNA.

PCL for the year was $929 million, a decrease of $222 million, or 19%, 

compared with last year. Personal banking PCL was $882 million for 
the year, a decrease of $206 million, or 19%, compared with last year 
due primarily to better credit performance, enhanced collection strate-
gies, and lower bankruptcies. Business banking PCL was $47 million, 
a  decrease of $16 million, due to higher recoveries. Annualized PCL 
as  a percentage of credit volume was 0.30%, a decrease of 9 bps, 
compared with last year. Net impaired loans were $882 million, 
a decrease of $118 million, or 12%, compared with last year.

Reported non-interest expenses for the year were $5,136 million, 
an increase of $148 million, or 3%, compared with last year. Adjusted 
non-interest expenses for the year were $4,984 million, an increase of 
$100 million, or 2%, compared with last year. Excluding the additional 
month of MBNA, expenses increased $72 million, or 1%, compared with 
last year, as volume growth, merit increases, and investment in initiatives 
to grow the business were largely offset by productivity gains.

The average full-time equivalent (FTE) staffing levels decreased by 
2,053, or 7%, compared with last year, primarily due to a transfer of 
FTEs to the Corporate segment. Operating FTE declined by 2% due 
to volume-related reductions and productivity gains. The reported 
efficiency ratio was 46.5%, relatively flat compared with 46.8% in 
the same period last year, while the adjusted efficiency ratio improved 
to 45.1%, compared with 45.7% in the same period last year.

KEY PRODUCT GROUPS
Personal Banking
•   Personal Deposits – TD delivered strong volume growth and main-
tained its market share position due to a focus on acquiring and 
retaining core customer accounts. Market share in term deposits 
declined as the business reduced growth from higher cost, non-
proprietary channels and fulfilled customer preference for other 
investment products. The business was able to largely offset the 
impact of the lower interest rate environment through pricing 
and investment strategies.

•   Consumer Lending – Volumes continued to grow but at a slower 
pace than recent years. TD maintained its leadership position in 
market share for real estate secured lending products, with a focus 
on increasing customer retention rates.

•   Credit Cards and Merchant Service – Growth in earnings continued in 
2013 led by improved credit quality and volume growth. Management 
focus was on continued growth, the MBNA integration, and the newly 
announced Aeroplan agreement.

•   TD Auto Finance Canada – The business was able to grow its  

portfolio in a competitive market by producing financial solutions 
for dealerships, developing flexible vehicle financing options, and 
continuing its focus on service.

Business Banking
•   Commercial Banking – Continued investments in customer-facing 

resources in strategic markets resulted in new customer acquisition 
that drove strong volume growth and market share gains. Higher 
loan and deposit volume growth was partially offset by lower 
margins.  Credit  losses  decreased  and  are  at  the  low  end  of 
normalized levels.

•   Small Business Banking – Continued investments in both deposit 

and credit infrastructure to improve speed to market and customer 
experience.  Volume  growth  in  the  year  was  largely  offset  by 
declining margins. Credit losses remained relatively stable.

BUSINESS OUTLOOK AND FOCUS FOR 2014
We will continue to focus on our legendary customer service 
and convenience position across all channels. Our commitment 
to invest across businesses positions us well for growth over the 
long term. We expect earnings growth to moderate in 2014 as 
credit loss rates stabilize. We expect the retail loan growth rate 
to generally be in line with current year levels. Business lending 
is expected to remain strong as we continue to focus on winning 
market share. Over the next year we expect modest downward 
pressure on margins, with quarterly margins bumping around 
depending on  product  mix, seasonal factors or rate moves. 
Credit loss rates should remain relatively stable; however, recent 
low personal bankruptcy trends will likely normalize next year. 
We plan to mitigate the impact of these pressures by focusing 
on productivity and tightly managing expense growth. We will 
continue the momentum in the credit cards business, including 
executing on the new Aeroplan relationship.

Our key priorities for 2014 are as follows:
•   Provide  a  legendary  customer  experience  across  all   

distribution channels.

•   Continue the growth momentum in our businesses, building 
on platforms where we have made strategic investments.
•   Deliver integrated service and advice in local markets, across 

businesses and channels.

•   Keep  our  focus  on  productivity  to  enhance  customer   
experience, employee satisfaction and shareholder value.

•   Continue  to  increase  employee  engagement  and  be   

recognized as an extraordinary place to work.

BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS
•   Wealth had record earnings in 2013 with net income of 

$691 million and Insurance had earnings in 2013 of $216 million.

•   The Canadian Direct Investing business sustained a market 
leading position in both share of assets and trades and 
continued to invest for the future with the launch of an 
enhanced active trading platform. In the fourth quarter of 
2013, TD announced the sale of the Canadian Institutional 
Services business and closed the sale of the U.K. Institutional 
Services business on November 13, 2013.

•   Our Advice-based businesses in Canada achieved record Client 
Experience Index (CEI) ratings and continued to gain market 
share as measured by assets.

•   TDAM, the manager of TD Mutual Funds, had record assets 
under management of $257 billion. Several TD funds were 
recognized by Lipper as the top fund in their respective 
category over a three, five and ten-year time period.

•   TD completed the acquisition of Epoch Investment Partners, 
Inc., which had $38 billion in assets under management as 
at October 31, 2013, up from $28 billion on close, inclusive 
of $5 billion of assets previously managed by TDAM and 
external sub-advisors. The addition of Epoch significantly 
expanded TD’s North American investment management 
footprint while strengthening Epoch’s existing franchise 
and competitive advantage.

•   TD Insurance gross originated insurance premiums grew 6%. 
TD’s property and casualty Insurance business grew affinity 
market premiums by 10% and retained the #1 direct writer 
position in home and auto and the #2 in personal lines position.
•   Ongoing focus on client experience in 2013 resulted in increase 

in CEI ratings for TD Insurance.

•   TD Insurance processed over 292,000 claims across Canada, 
helping clients and their families in their times of need.

CHALLENGES IN 2013
•   In our Wealth business, Direct Investing trading volumes 

improved, but continued to be below historical norms, which 
impacted the growth rate of Direct Investing revenue.

•   Persistently low interest rate environment continued to limit 

our ability to grow revenue on deposits.

•   The property and casualty Insurance business experienced 

unfavourable prior years’ claims development related primar-
ily to Ontario auto insurance, as well as higher claims costs 
due to severe weather-related events, including the flood in 
Southern Alberta and the Greater Toronto Area in the third 
quarter of 2013. As a result, Insurance earnings declined 
significantly year over year.

•   Slowing lending volume growth in TD Canada Trust resulted 
in reduced demand for authorized credit protection products 
in the life and health insurance business.

INDUSTRY PROFILE
TD Wealth’s business operates in three geographic regions: Canada, 
the U.S., and Europe. In Canada, the industry is extremely competitive 
consisting of major banks, large insurance companies, and monoline 
wealth management organizations (including mutual fund companies 
and private wealth managers, asset managers and financial planners). 
Given the level of competition in Canada, TD’s success lies in our abil-
ity to differentiate on client experience across all of our businesses and 
channels by providing the right products, services, tools and solutions 
to serve our clients’ needs.

In the U.S., the wealth management industry is large but competi-
tion is more fragmented, consisting of banks, insurance companies, 
independent mutual fund companies, discount brokers, full service 
brokers, and independent asset management companies. In our 
Maine-to-Florida footprint, the Bank competes against both national 
and regional banks and non-bank wealth organizations.

TD Ameritrade, in which TD has a substantial investment, competes 

most  directly  with  other  direct  investment  firms.  TD  Ameritrade 
remains a leader in this market by continuing to deliver world-class 
direct  investing  capabilities  to  clients,  including  investor  tools, 
services  and education.

In Europe, the industry is led by strong regional players with little 

pan-European presence or brand. In the U.K., TD competes most 
directly with other direct investment firms and institutional services 
firms. In Europe, TD competes by providing focused multi-currency 
and multi-exchange online direct investing services for retail investors.
TD Insurance operates in both the Canadian property and casualty 

insurance, and the life and health insurance industries.

The property and casualty industry in Canada is a fragmented and 
competitive market, consisting of both personal and commercial lines 
writers. However, TD Insurance only offers personal lines (home and 
auto) insurance products to clients. The personal lines property and 
casualty industry uses both independent intermediaries and direct 
channels  to  distribute  products.  TD  Insurance  only  distributes 
products  through direct channels. In recent years, there has been a 
growing trend by consumers to purchase home and auto insurance 
through direct channels. TD Insurance partners with affinity groups 
such as professional associations, universities and employer groups 
to market personal lines insurance products, and is the largest affinity 
writer in Canada.

The life and health insurance industry in Canada, and the reinsur-
ance market internationally, while more consolidated, is made up of 
several larger competitors. TD Insurance competes as a Direct Life and 
Health insurance provider offering a range of affordable and simple 
insurance solutions, and through TD Canada Trust branches, offers 
bank authorized credit protection products as part of the lending 
process, and travel insurance.

OVERALL BUSINESS STRATEGY
Wealth
•   Global Direct Investing builds on existing market leadership positions 
by  offering  best-in-class  capabilities,  tools,  service  and  investor 
education, and by extending our comfort and convenience brand 
with continued investment in intuitive functionality.

•   The North American Advice-based business continues to grow by 

enhancing the overall client experience and by providing comprehen-
sive investment and wealth planning services and solutions to help 
retirees and pre-retirees protect, grow and transition their wealth.

•   The Asset Management business continues to grow by creating 
targeted product solutions that serve our institutional and retail 
clients’ needs, and that align well with our distribution channels 
and capabilities.

Insurance
The strategy for TD Insurance is to:
•   Be the preferred insurer for TD Bank and affinity partner clients, 

and the #1 direct writer in Canada.

•   Deliver legendary sales, service and claims client experiences that 

align to the TD brand.

•   Offer simple insurance products that are easy to understand 

and access.

•   Continue  to  invest  in  well-run  and  efficient  operations  and   

technology infrastructure.

period presentation.

2  As at October 31, 2013, the Wealth assets under management includes $38 billion 

related to Epoch.

3  Effective 2012, the Bank revised its methodology for allocating capital to its business 
segments to align with the common equity capital requirements under Basel III at 
a 7% Common Equity Tier 1 ratio. The return measures for business segments will 
now be return on common equity rather than return on invested capital. These

common equity.

REVIEW OF FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
Wealth and Insurance net income for the year was $1,153 million, a 
decrease of $214 million, or 16%, compared with last year, reflecting 
lower earnings in the Insurance business, partially offset by higher 
earnings in Wealth and TD Ameritrade. Wealth and Insurance net 
income excluding TD Ameritrade was $907 million, a decrease of 
$251 million, or 22%, compared with last year. The Bank’s reported 
investment in TD Ameritrade generated net income for the year of 
$246 million, an increase of $37 million, or 18%, compared with last 
year, mainly driven by higher TD Ameritrade earnings. For its fiscal year 
ended September 30, 2013, TD Ameritrade reported net income was 
US$675 million, an increase of US$89 million, or 15%, compared with 
last year, primarily driven by higher trading and fee-based revenue, 
and increased investment gains. The return on common equity for the 
year was 18.9% compared with 20.7% last year.

Revenue for the year was $6,937 million, an increase of $494 million, 

or 8%, compared with last year. In the Wealth business, revenue 
increased mainly from higher fee-based revenue from asset growth 
and equity market appreciation, and the addition of Epoch. In the 
Insurance business, revenue increased mainly from premium volume 
growth, partially offset by the sale of the U.S. Insurance business.
Insurance  claims  and  related  expenses  for  the  year  were 
$3,056 million, an increase of $632 million, or 26%, compared  
with the last year, primarily due to unfavourable prior years’ claims 
development related to the Ontario auto insurance market, and higher 
claims associated with volume growth and weather-related events.

Non-interest expenses for the year were $2,821 million, an increase 

of $221 million, or 9%, compared with last year. The increase was 
primarily due to higher revenue-based variable expenses in the Wealth 
business, the addition of Epoch, and increased costs to support busi-
ness growth in Wealth and Insurance, partially offset by decreased 
expenses resulting from the sale of the U.S. Insurance business.

Assets under administration of $293 billion as at October 31, 2013 
increased $35 billion, or 14%, compared with October 31, 2012. Assets 
under management of $257 billion as at October 31, 2013 increased 
$50 billion, or 24%, compared with October 31, 2012. These increases 
were driven by market appreciation of the assets, the addition of Epoch 
assets under management, and growth in new client assets.

Gross originated insurance premiums were $3,772 million, an increase 

of $200 million, or 6%, compared with last year. The increase was 
primarily due to organic business growth.

The average FTE staffing levels for the year decreased by 320, 
or 3%, compared with last year primarily due to the sale of the U.S. 
Insurance  business.  The  efficiency  ratio  for  the  year  was  40.7%, 
relatively flat compared with last year.

ness by introducing new client solutions and improving the

ing the overall client experience.

access insurance products by phone, on-line, mobile and tablet.

•   Work collaboratively with governments, regulators and 
industry  bodies  to  ensure  the  availability  of  affordable 
home  and auto insurance to Canadians.

ing environment, TD Bank’s product offerings and earnings.
•   Low interest rate environment and heightened competition 

led to continued pressure on margins.

INDUSTRY PROFILE
The U.S. banking industry has experienced a significant amount of 
consolidation over the past few years. The personal and business 
banking environment in the U.S. is very competitive in all areas  of 
the business. U.S. banks are subject to vigorous competition  from 

other banks and  financial institutions, including savings banks, 
finance  companies, credit unions,  and  other providers of financial 
services.  The  keys to  profitability  are  attracting and  retaining 
customer  relationships  over  the  long term  with innovative conve-
nience  and  service  brands  within  our  operating footprint,  effective 
risk  management,  rational  product pricing,  use of technology to 
deliver  products and  services  for  customers  anytime and  anywhere, 
optimizing fee-based  businesses,  and  effective control of operating 
expenses.  In  the  U.S., the  wealth  management industry is large but 
competition  is  more  fragmented,  consisting of banks, insurance 
companies, independent  mutual  fund  companies, discount  brokers, 
full service  brokers, and independent asset management  companies. 
In  our  Maine-to-Florida  footprint,  the Bank  competes  against both 
national and regional  banks  and non-bank wealth organizations.

OVERALL BUSINESS STRATEGY
The strategy for U.S. Personal and Commercial Banking is to:
•   Focus on retail and commercial banking in higher growth markets 

along the U.S. Eastern Seaboard.

•   Out-grow competitors through legendary service and convenience 
and by delivering integrated banking services to the customer.

•   Make customers proud to be associated with TD Bank.
•   Be an extraordinary and inclusive place to work – attract, develop, 

and retain top talent.
•   Operate with excellence.
•   Take only risks we understand and can manage and deploy capital 

prudently within a well-defined risk appetite.

3  Effective 2012, the Bank revised its methodology for allocating capital to its business 
segments to align with the common equity capital requirements under Basel III at a 
7% Common Equity Tier 1 ratio. The return measures for business segments will now 
be return on common equity rather than return on invested capital. These changes 
have been applied prospectively. Return on invested capital, which was used as the 
return measure in prior periods, has not been restated to return on common equity.

REVIEW OF FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
U.S. Personal and Commercial Banking reported net income, in Canadian 
dollar terms, for the year was $1,527 million, an increase of $399 million, 
or 35%, compared with last year. Adjusted net income for the year 
was $1,627 million, an increase of $205 million, or 14%, compared 
with last year. In U.S. dollar terms, reported net income for the year 
was US$1,495 million, an increase of US$372 million, or 33%, compared 
with last year and adjusted net income was US$1,595 million, an increase 
of US$179 million, or 13%. Results include activity related to the credit 
card program agreement with Target Corporation subsequent to the 
acquisition of approximately US$6 billion of credit card receivables on 
March 13, 2013. Revenue and expenses related to Target are reported 
on a gross basis on the Consolidated Statement of Income and non-
interest expenses include the Bank’s expenses related to the business, 
and amounts due to Target Corporation under the credit card program 
agreement. The increase in adjusted earnings was primarily due to 
strong loan and deposit volume and higher fee-based revenue, and 
increased gains on sales of securities and debt securities classified as 
loans, partially offset by higher expenses to support growth and lower 
margins. The reported return on common equity for the year was 
8.1%, while the adjusted return on common equity was 8.6%, 
compared with 6.4% and 8.1%, respectively, last year.

In  U.S.  dollar  terms,  adjusted  revenue  for  the  year  was 

US$6,984 million, an increase of US$877 million, or 14%, compared 
with last year driven by the inclusion of revenue from Target, increased 
loan and deposit volume, higher fee-based revenue, and gains on sales 
of securities and debt securities classified as loans, partially offset by 
lower margins and loan accretion. Excluding Target, average loans 
increased by US$11 billion, or 13%, compared with last year with an 
increase of US$7 billion, or 19%, in average personal loans and an 
increase of US$4 billion, or 8%, in average business loans. In the current 
year, US$6 billion in credit cards outstanding were added due to Target. 
Average  deposits  increased  US$17  billion,  or  10%,  compared  with 
prior  year,  including  a  US$9  billion  increase  in  average  deposits  of 
TD Ameritrade. Excluding the impact of TD Ameritrade IDAs, average 
deposit volume increased by US$8 billion, or 7%. Margin on average 
earning assets for the year was 3.66%, a 6 bps increase compared 
with last year primarily due to the impact of Target, partially offset 
by core margin compression.

Reported PCL for the year was US$764 million, a decrease of 
US$14 million, or 2%, compared with last year. Adjusted PCL for the 
year was US$764 million, an increase of US$41 million, or 6%, compared 
with last year. Personal banking PCL was US$638 million, an increase 
of US$247 million, or 63%, from the prior year due primarily to Target 
and increased provisions in auto loans. Business banking PCL was 
US$155 million, a decrease of US$165 million, or 52%, compared with 
prior year reflecting improved credit quality in commercial loans. PCL 
as a percentage of credit volume for loans excluding debt securities 
classified as loans was 0.75%, a decrease of 3 bps, compared with last 
year. Net impaired loans, excluding acquired credit-impaired loans and 
debt securities classified as loans, as a percentage of total loans were 
1.3% as at October 31, 2013, compared with 1.2% as at October 31, 
2012. Acquired credit-impaired loans were US$2.3 billion as at 
October 31,  2013 compared with US$3.8 billion as at October  31, 
2012, while net impaired debt securities classified as loans were 
US$0.9 billion as at October 31, 2013 compared with US$1.3 billion 
as at October 31, 2012.

Reported non-interest expenses for the year were US$4,457 million, 
an increase of US$350 million, or 9%, compared with last year. On an 
adjusted basis, non-interest expenses were US$4,331 million, an increase 
of US$653 million, or 18%, compared with last year due primarily to 
increased expenses related to Target, investments in new stores and 
other planned initiatives, partially offset by productivity gains.

The average FTE staffing levels for the year decreased by 156, 
or 1%, reflecting efficiencies in store network operations including 
optimization of store locations and planned declines in TD Auto 
Finance U.S. The reported efficiency ratio for the year improved to 
63.8%, compared with 67.3% last year, while the adjusted efficiency 
ratio for the year worsened to 62.1%, compared with 60.2% last year.

KEY PRODUCT GROUPS
Personal Banking
•   Personal Deposits – Our product offerings include a large variety 

of chequing and savings products, along with money markets and 
certificates of deposits. We continued to build on our reputation as 
America’s Most Convenient Bank by opening 24 new stores in fiscal 
2013. We delivered strong year-over-year growth driven by maturing 
stores and a competitive product offering.

•   Consumer Lending – Our principal product offerings of home equity 

loans and lines of credit, credit cards, and auto loans offered 
through a network of auto dealers continued to grow organically 
and through strategic acquisitions. Loan loss rates have improved 
over the prior year and remain in line with the industry.

•   Residential Real Estate Secured Lending – We offer various mortgage 
products, including fixed and variable rate loans, through our resi-
dential lending unit. We grew profitable market share and franchise 
customers through higher originations, with strong credit quality, 
during  a tough  economic  environment. Store-based originations 
are  a key focus to leverage cross-selling opportunities.

•   Small Business Banking and Merchant Services – We offer specialized 
products designed for the small business including an array of deposit 
products and loan products, including long term business mortgages, 
lines of credit, credit cards, and small business loans. The Small 
Business Banking group continues to be among the top ranked small 
business lenders in most of our markets. Merchant Services offer 
point-of-sale settlement solutions for debit and credit card transac-
tions, supporting over 17,000 business locations in our footprint.

Commercial Banking
•   Commercial Banking – Commercial Banking provides commercial 
customers with a comprehensive array of lending products and 
ancillary services. We handle the financial needs of a wide range of 
commercial customers including those with special borrowing needs 
in  discrete loan  producing  business units  such as healthcare, 
corporate real estate, asset based lending, equipment finance and 
dealer commercial services. Commercial and industrial loan demand 
increased significantly while commercial real estate demand remained 
relatively low resulting in strong overall loan growth at competitive 
spreads. Commercial loan volume growth significantly outperformed 
peers. Loan losses continue to improve throughout the portfolio and 
our overall asset quality remains better than the industry.

BUSINESS OUTLOOK AND FOCUS FOR 2014
For 2014, our assumption is for continued modest but variable 
economic growth, and continued low short term interest rates, 
while longer term rates will likely stay historically low, but with 
some volatility. We expect competition for loans will remain 
intense, credit will remain benign, and regulatory developments 
will pose challenges. Earnings should be characterized by a 
higher net interest margin as a result of the full year effect of 
Target and reinvestment of assets at higher rates, offset by 
lower levels of security gains and higher levels of provision for 
credit losses. We should continue to outgrow our competition, 
but loan growth will likely slow, largely due to lower levels of 
mortgage refinancing. Moderating expense growth, while we 
continue to invest in growth and regulatory compliance, will 
remain a focus. Given these assumptions, we expect a challeng-
ing 2014 with modest growth in adjusted earnings.

Our key priorities for 2014 are as follows:
•   Continue broad-based organic growth of loans and deposits, 

while adhering to a conservative risk appetite.

•   Continue to deliver convenient banking solutions and services 

that exceed customer expectations.

•   Continue business expansion by opening new stores in larger 

markets such as New York, Florida, and Boston.

•   Improve efficiency and productivity to counter the challenging 
operating environment and drive long-term competitiveness.
•   Broaden and deepen customer relationships through cross-

selling initiatives.

•   Continue to optimize the balance sheet including possible 

asset acquisitions.

BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS
•   Return on common equity of 15.6%.
•   Solid performance across core businesses despite challenging 

capital markets environment.

•   Higher government and corporate fixed income underwriting 

primarily due to improved new issue volumes.

•   Simplifying the infrastructure model to be more efficient 

and agile.

•   Maintained top-three dealer status in Canada (for the nine-

month period ended September 30, 2013):

  – #1 in equity block trading
  – #1 in corporate debt underwriting
  – #3 in government debt underwriting 
  – #3 in syndications (on rolling 12 month basis)
  – #3 in equity underwriting (full credit-to-book runner)

CHALLENGES IN 2013
•   Low interest rates and subdued markets led to reduced  

trading opportunities.

a negative  impact  on  investor  confidence  and  affected  the  industry. 
Low  rates and volatility driven by market uncertainty and liquidity 
concerns added downward pressure to asset prices, trading volumes 
and investor activities causing wholesale banks to continue to focus on 
client driven businesses and risk management. However, fixed income 
government and corporate issuances were strong throughout the year. 
Looking at the long term, wholesale businesses that have a diversified 
client-focused business model, offer a wide range of products and 
services, and exhibit effective cost management will be well positioned 
as investor confidence returns and markets improve.

REVIEW OF FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
Wholesale Banking net income for the year was $648 million, a decrease 
of $232 million, or 26%, compared with last year. The decrease in 
earnings was due to lower revenue and a higher effective tax rate, 
partially offset by lower non-interest expenses. The return on common 
equity for the year was 15.6%, compared with 21.2% last year.

Revenue for the year was $2,407 million, a decrease of $247 million, 

or 9%, compared with last year. Revenue declined primarily due to 
significantly lower security gains in the investment portfolio, lower trad-
ing-related revenue and M&A and advisory fees. This was partially offset 
by higher debt underwriting and loan fees. Trading-related revenue was 
lower as the prior year included trading gains that were previously 
considered impaired and M&A fees decreased on lower industry wide 
volumes. This was partially offset by increased debt underwriting fees on 
improved client activity while capturing a higher market share. Loan fees 
improved due to higher credit originations and volume growth.

PCL comprises specific provision for credit losses and accrual costs for 
credit protection. The change in market value of the credit protection, in 
excess of the accrual cost, is reported in the Corporate segment. PCL for 
the year was $26 million, a decrease of $21 million, or 45%, compared 
with last year. The decrease in PCL was primarily due to a loss on a single 
name in the corporate lending portfolio in the prior year. PCL in the 
current year primarily comprised the accrual cost of credit protection.
Non-interest expenses for the year were $1,541 million, a decrease 
of $29 million, or 2%, compared with last year primarily due to lower 
variable compensation commensurate with revenue.

Risk-weighted assets were $47 billion as at October 31, 2013, 
an increase of $4 billion, or 9%, compared with October 31, 2012. 
The  increase  was  due  to  the  implementation  of  the  Basel  III  regu-
latory  framework.

The average FTE staffing levels decreased by 17 compared with last year.

KEY PRODUCT GROUPS
Investment Banking and Capital Markets
•   Investment  banking  and  capital  markets  revenue,  which  includes 
advisory, underwriting, trading, facilitation, and execution services, 
decreased over last year. The decrease was primarily due to reduced 
M&A fees on lower industry-wide volumes and lower trading-related 
revenue as the prior year included trading gains that were previously 
considered impaired.

Corporate Banking
•   Corporate  banking  revenue  which includes corporate lending, 
trade  finance and cash management services increased over last 
year driven by higher fee revenue and solid loan volumes.

Equity Investments
•   The equity investment portfolio, which we are in the process 

of exiting, consists primarily of private equity investments. Equity 
investment gains were significantly lower than the prior year.

BUSINESS OUTLOOK AND FOCUS FOR 2014
We are encouraged by the gradual improvement in capital 
markets and the economy, but a combination of fiscal chal-
lenges in Europe and the U.S., slower commodity markets and 
the impact of regulatory reform will affect trading conditions in 
the medium term. The uncertainty over the U.S. Federal 
Reserve’s tapering of asset purchases has created volatility in 
the global markets. The instability in the macro-economic envi-
ronment impacts overall corporate and investor sentiment; 
however, we expect that our strong franchise businesses will 
continue to deliver solid results. We continue to stay focused on 
serving our clients, being a valued counterparty, growing our 
franchise, managing our risks and reducing expenses.

Our key priorities for 2014 are as follows:
•   Continue to grow the franchise by broadening and deepening 

client relationships.

•   Be the top ranked investment dealer in Canada by increasing 
our origination footprint and competitive advantage with 
Canadian clients.

•   Extend the goals of the Canadian franchise to the U.S.
•   Be totally aligned to enterprise partners and their clients.
•   Continue  to invest in  an efficient, effective and robust   

infrastructure to adapt to industry and regulatory changes.

Reconciliation of Adjusted to Reported Net Income” table in the “Financial 
Results Overview” section of this document.

2  Beginning in 2013, the change in the “reduction of allowance for incurred but 

not identified credit losses” in the normal course of business relating to Canadian 
Personal and Commercial Banking and Wholesale Banking is included in Corporate 
segment adjusted net income and is no longer be recorded as an item of note.

The Corporate segment reported net loss for the year was $320 million, 
compared with a reported net loss of $208 million last year. The adjusted 
net loss for the year was $36 million, compared with an adjusted net 
loss of $2 million last year. The year-over-year change in the adjusted 
net  loss  was  primarily  attributable  to  the  increase  in  net  corporate 
expenses, lower gains from treasury and other hedging activities, partially 
offset by the favourable impact of tax items and the reduction of the 
allowance for incurred but not identified credit losses relating to the 
Canadian loan portfolio.

CORPORATE MANAGEMENT
The Corporate segment’s mandate is to provide centralized advice 
and counsel to our key businesses and to those who serve our global 
customers directly. This includes support from a wide range of func-
tional groups, as well as the design, development, and implementation 
of processes, systems, and technologies to ensure that the Bank’s key 
businesses operate efficiently, reliably, and in compliance with all 
applicable regulatory requirements.

The corporate management function of the Bank includes audit, 
legal, anti-money laundering, compliance, corporate and public affairs, 
regulatory relationships and government affairs, economics, enterprise 
technology solutions, finance, treasury and balance sheet management, 
people strategies, marketing, Office of the Ombudsman, enterprise 
real estate management, risk management, global physical security, 
strategic sourcing, global strategy, enterprise project management, 
corporate environment initiatives, and corporate development.

The enterprise Direct Channels and Distribution Strategy group is 
part of Corporate operations and is responsible for the online, phone, 
and ABM/ATM channels, delivering a best-in-class experience across 
TD’s North American businesses. The vision of the group is to create 
an even more integrated, seamless, effortless, and legendary customer 
experience for TD Bank, America’s Most Convenient Bank, TD Canada 
Trust, and TD Wealth and Insurance.

Ensuring that the  Bank stays  abreast of emerging trends and 
developments is vital to maintaining stakeholder confidence in the Bank 
and  to  addressing  the  dynamic  complexities  and  challenges  from 
changing demands and expectations of our customers, shareholders 
and employees, governments, regulators, and the community at large.

1  Effective 2013, Insurance revenue and Insurance claims and related expenses are 

presented on a gross basis on the Consolidated Statement of Income. Comparative 
amounts have been reclassified to conform with this presentation.

NET INTEREST INCOME
Net interest income for the year on a reported basis was $15,026 million, 
an increase of $1,365 million, or 10%, compared with  last year. On 
an adjusted basis, net interest income was $15,062 million, an increase 
of  $1,401  million,  or  10%,  compared  with  last  year.  The  increase 
in  adjusted  net  interest  income  was  driven  primarily  by  increases  in 
the  Canadian  Personal  and  Commercial  Banking,  U.S.  Personal  and 
Commercial  Banking  and  Wholesale  Banking  segments.  Canadian 
Personal  and  Commercial  Banking  net  interest  income  increased 
primarily due to the inclusion of MBNA, organic volume growth and 
an additional calendar day, partially offset by lower margin on average 
earning assets. U.S. Personal and Commercial Banking net interest 
income increased mainly due to strong loan and deposit volume 
growth, partially offset by lower margin on average earning assets. 
Wholesale Banking net interest income increased largely due to higher 
trading-related revenue.

NON-INTEREST INCOME
Non-interest income for the year on a reported basis was $10,520 million, 
an increase of $341 million, or 3%, compared with last year. Adjusted 
non-interest income for the year was $10,615 million, an increase of 
$563 million, or 6%, compared with last year. The increase in adjusted 
non-interest income was primarily driven by increases in the Canadian 
Personal and Commercial Banking, Wealth and Insurance, and U.S. 
Personal and Commercial Banking segments. Canadian Personal and 
Commercial Banking non-interest income increased primarily due to 
higher transaction volumes, the contribution from MBNA and fee 
repricing. Wealth and Insurance non-interest income increased primar-
ily due to strong premium growth and the inclusion of MBNA in the 
Insurance business and higher fee-based revenue from higher client 
assets, partially offset by lower trading revenue in the Wealth business. 
U.S. Personal and Commercial Banking non-interest income increased 
due to higher fee-based revenue and gains on sales of securities, 
partially offset by the impact of the Durbin Amendment and the 
anticipated run-off in legacy Chrysler Financial revenue.

NON-INTEREST EXPENSES
Reported  non-interest  expenses  for  the  year  were  $13,998  million, 
an increase of $951 million, or 7%, compared with last year. Adjusted 
non-interest expenses were $13,162 million, an increase of $789 million, 
or 6%, compared with last year. The increase in adjusted non-interest 
expenses was driven by increases in the Canadian Personal and 

Commercial Banking, U.S. Personal and Commercial Banking and 
Wholesale Banking segments. Canadian Personal and Commercial 
Banking expenses increased primarily due to the acquisition of the 
credit card portfolio of MBNA Canada, higher employee-related costs, 
business initiatives and volume growth. U.S. Personal and Commercial 
Banking expenses increased due to investments in new stores and 
infrastructure, and the Chrysler Financial acquisition. Wholesale 
Banking expenses increased primarily due to legal provisions in the 
current year and higher variable compensation commensurate with 
improved revenue.

INCOME TAX EXPENSE
Reported total income and other taxes decreased by $204 million, or 
9%, from 2011. Income tax expense, on a reported basis, was down 
$234 million, or 18%, from 2011. Other taxes were up $30 million, 
or 3%, from 2011. Adjusted total income and other taxes were down 
$111 million, or 4%, from 2011. Total income tax expense, on an 
adjusted basis, was down $141 million, or 9%, from 2011.

The Bank’s effective income tax rate on a reported basis was 14.9% 
for 2012, compared with 18.6% in 2011. The year-over-year decrease 
was largely due to the reduction in the Canadian statutory corporate 
tax rate and higher tax exempt dividend income from taxable Canadian 
corporations.

The Bank reports its investment in TD Ameritrade using the equity 
method of accounting. TD Ameritrade’s tax expense of $131 million 
in the year, compared to $148 million in 2011, was not part of the 
Bank’s tax rate reconciliation.

BALANCE SHEET
Factors Affecting Assets and Liabilities
Total assets were $811 billion as at October 31, 2012, an increase 
of $76 billion, or 10%, from October 31, 2011. The net increase was 
primarily due to a $32 billion increase in loans (net of allowance for 
loan losses), a $29 billion increase in financial assets at fair value  
and a $12 billion increase in securities purchased under reverse 
repurchase agreements.

Financial assets at fair value increased $29 billion largely due  
to an increase in trading securities in Wholesale Banking.

Securities purchased under reverse repurchase agreements 
increased $12 billion driven by an increase in trade volumes in 
Wholesale Banking.

Loans (net of allowance for loan losses) increased by $32 billion 
primarily driven by increases in Canadian Personal and Commercial 
Banking and U.S. Personal and Commercial Banking. The increase in 
Canadian Personal and Commercial Banking was due to growth in 
residential mortgages, the acquisition of the credit card portfolio of 
MBNA Canada, and growth in business and government loans. U.S. 
Personal and Commercial Banking loans increased primarily due to 
growth in residential mortgages, business and government loans and 
indirect auto loans.

Total liabilities were $762 billion as at October 31, 2012, an increase 
of $71 billion, or 10%, from October 31, 2011. The net increase   
was primarily due to a $38 billion increase in deposits, a $23 billion 
increase in other liabilities and a $10 billion increase in financial 
liabilities at fair value.

Financial liabilities at fair value increased $10 billion largely due  
to an increase in trading deposits in Wholesale Banking.

Deposits increased $38 billion primarily due to an increase in personal 
non-term deposits in Canadian Personal and Commercial Banking and 
U.S. Personal and Commercial Banking and an increase in business and 
government deposits across several segments.

Other liabilities increased $23 billion largely due to an increase in 
obligations related to securities sold under repurchase agreements 
and obligations related to securities sold short in Wholesale Banking.

Equity was $49 billion as at October 31, 2012, an increase of $5 billion, 
or 11%, from October 31, 2011 primarily due to retained earnings 
growth and higher common share capital due to additional common 
share issuances through the dividend reinvestment plan and the exer-
cise of stock options.

2012 FINANCIAL RESULTS OVERVIEW

2012 Financial Performance by Business Line

Canadian Personal and Commercial Banking reported net income for 
the year of $3,304 million, an increase of $253 million, or 8%, compared 
with last year. Adjusted net income for the year was $3,408 million, an 
increase of $357 million, or 12%, compared with last year. The increase 
in adjusted earnings was driven by good volume growth, the acquisition 
of MBNA, higher fee income, a lower tax rate, and an extra calendar day. 
The reported return on common equity for the year was 42.9%, while 
the adjusted annualized return on common equity was 44.2%.

Reported revenue for the year was $10,652 million, an increase of 
$1,120 million, or 12%, compared with last year. Adjusted revenue for 
the year was $10,688 million, an increase of $1,156 million, or 12%, 
compared with last year. The addition of MBNA contributed 9 percent-
age points to both reported and adjusted year-over-year revenue 
growth. Net interest income growth was driven by the inclusion of 
MBNA, organic volume growth and an additional calendar day, 
partially offset by lower margin on average earning assets. The net 
interest income contribution from MBNA was elevated due to a one-
time benefit from better credit performance on acquired loans. 
Personal lending volume growth slowed throughout the year impacted 
by a slowing housing market and weaker consumer loan demand. 
Business lending growth was strong leading to market share gains. 
Compared with last year, average real estate secured lending volume 
increased $12.5 billion, or 6%. Auto lending average volume increased 
$1.2 billion, or 10%, while all other personal lending average volumes, 
excluding MBNA, were relatively flat. Business loans and acceptances 
average volumes increased $5 billion, or 14%. Average personal 
deposit volumes increased $9.4 billion, or 7%, with a strong contribu-
tion from the new Investment Savings account. Average business 
deposit volumes increased $6.3 billion, or 10%. Reported margin on 
average earning assets increased 6 bps to 2.82%, while the adjusted 
margin on average earning assets increased 8 bps to 2.84%, compared 
with 2.76% last year due to the addition of MBNA. Excluding the 
impact of MBNA, the margin on average earning assets decreased 
12 bps to 2.64%, due to the impact of a low interest rate environ-
ment, portfolio mix, and competitive pricing. Non-interest income 
growth of 12% was driven by higher transaction volumes, MBNA, 
and repricing.

PCL for the year was $1,151 million, an increase of $327 million, or 

40%, compared with last year. The increase in PCL was due primarily 
to the addition of MBNA. Personal banking PCL was $1,088 million 
for the year, an increase of $302 million, or 38%, compared with last 
year. Excluding MBNA, personal banking PCL decreased $53 million, 
reflecting strong credit quality and enhanced collection strategies. 
Business banking PCL was $63 million, an increase of $26 million, 

returning to a more normalized level, as the prior year had higher 
recoveries. Annualized PCL as a percentage of credit volume excluding 
MBNA  was 0.28%,  a  decrease  of  3  bps, compared  with last year. 
Net  impaired loans were $1,000 million, an increase of $108 million, 
or 12%, compared with last year.

Reported non-interest expenses for the year were $4,988 million, 
an increase of $555 million, or 13%, compared with last year. Adjusted 
non-interest expenses for the year were $4,884 million, an increase 
of $451 million, or 10%, compared with last year. Excluding MBNA, 
expenses increased $141 million, or 3%, compared with last year, 
driven by higher employee-related costs, business initiatives, volume 
growth, and one extra calendar day.

The average FTE staffing levels increased by 539, or 2%, compared 

with last year driven by the addition of MBNA. Excluding MBNA, FTE 
decreased by 855, or 3%, largely due to the transfer of FTEs to the 
Corporate  segment  and  volume-related  productivity  gains.  The 
reported efficiency ratio for the year worsened to 46.8%, while the 
adjusted efficiency ratio improved to 45.7%, compared with 46.5%, 
on both a reported and adjusted basis last year.

Wealth and Insurance net income for the year was $1,367 million, 
an increase  of  $53 million,  or  4%, compared with last year. The 
increase in earnings was mainly due to growth in premiums and client 
assets, the inclusion of MBNA and lower expenses, partially offset 
by unfavourable prior years claims development and lower trading 
volumes. Wealth and Insurance net income excluding TD Ameritrade 
was $1,158 million, an increase of $51 million, or 5%, compared with 
last year. The Bank’s reported investment in TD Ameritrade generated 
net income for the year of $209 million, an increase of $2 million, or 
1%, compared with last year, mainly driven by changes in the capital 
allocation methodology resulting in lower net charges, largely offset by 
lower TD Ameritrade earnings. For its fiscal year ended September 30, 
2012,  TD  Ameritrade  reported  net  income  was  US$586  million,  a 
decrease of US$52 million, or 8%, compared with last year, primarily 
driven by lower trading revenue. The return on common equity for the 
year was 20.7%.

Revenue for the year was $6,443 million, an increase of $225 million, 
or 4%, compared with last year. In the Wealth business, a decrease in 
trading revenue in the direct investing business was largely offset by 
higher fee-based revenue driven by increased client assets in the advice-
based and asset management businesses. In the Insurance business, 
revenue increased from strong premium growth and the inclusion of 
MBNA. Net interest income increased driven primarily by higher 
margins and client balances in the Wealth business.

TD BANK GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2013 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSISInsurance claims and related expenses for the year were $2,424 million, 

an increase of $246 million, or 11%, compared with last year. The 
increase was primarily due to unfavourable prior years’ claims develop-
ment regarding the Ontario auto market and weather-related events. 
During the latter part of 2012, the business experienced an increase in 
prior years’ claims development in the Ontario auto insurance market 
primarily related to pre-2011 accident years. Frequency and severity of 
claims related to these accident years were worse than anticipated for 
certain insurance coverage, translating into higher claims costs.

Non-interest expenses for the year were $2,600 million, a decrease 

of $16 million, or 1%, compared with last year. The decrease was 
primarily due to higher project expenses in 2011, prudent expense 
management, and lower volumes in the Wealth business, partially 
offset by increased expenses supporting business growth in both the 
Wealth and Insurance businesses.

Assets under administration of $258 billion as at October 31, 2012 

increased by $21 billion, or 9%, compared with October 31, 2011. 
Assets under management of $207 billion as at October 31, 2012 
increased by $18 billion, or 10%, compared with October 31, 2011. 
These increases were primarily driven by net new client assets.

Gross originated insurance premiums were $3,572 million, an 

increase of $246 million, or 7%, compared with last year. The increase 
was primarily due to organic business growth.

The average FTE staffing levels and efficiency ratio for the year 

remained relatively flat compared with last year.

U.S. Personal and Commercial Banking reported net income, in 
Canadian dollar terms, for the year was $1,128 million, a decrease of 
$60 million, or 5%, compared with last year. Adjusted net income for 
the year was $1,422 million, an increase of $152 million, or 12%, 
compared with last year. In U.S. dollar terms, reported net income for 
the year was US$1,123 million, a decrease of US$82 million, or 7%, 
compared with last year and adjusted net income was US$1,416 million, 
an increase of US$127 million, or 10%. The increase in adjusted earn-
ings was primarily due to strong loan and deposit volume and higher 
fee-based revenue, partially offset by higher expenses to support 
growth, and the impact of the Durbin Amendment. Adjusted net 
income for the current and prior year excluded integration  and 
restructuring charges relating to acquisitions, litigation reserves and 
Superstorm Sandy. The reported return on common equity for the year 
was 6.4%, while the adjusted return on common equity was 8.1%.

excluding debt securities classified as loans as a percentage of credit 
volume was 0.84%, a decrease of 2 bps, compared with last year. 
Net impaired loans, excluding acquired credit-impaired loans and debt 
securities classified as loans, were US$1,059 million, a decrease of 
US$84 million, or 7%, compared with last year due to continued 
improvement in credit quality. Acquired credit-impaired loans were 
US$3.8 billion as at October 31, 2012 compared with US$5.6 billion 
as  at October 31, 2011, while net impaired debt securities classified 
as loans were US$1.3 billion compared with US$1.4 billion as at 
October 31, 2011.

Reported non-interest expenses for the year were US$4,107 million, 

an increase of US$464 million, or 13%, compared with last year. On 
an adjusted basis, non-interest expenses were US$3,678 million, an 
increase of US$181 million, or 5%, compared with last year due to 
investments in new stores and infrastructure, and the Chrysler 
Financial acquisition.

The average FTE staffing levels for the year increased by 834, or 3%, 

compared with last year due to the Chrysler Financial acquisition and 
new stores, partially offset by store closures and consolidations. The 
reported efficiency ratio for the year worsened to 67.3%, compared 
with 62.7% last year, while the adjusted efficiency ratio for the year 
remained flat at 60.2%, compared with last year.

Wholesale Banking net income for the year was $880 million, an 
increase of $65 million, or 8%, compared with last year. The increase 
in earnings was due to stronger results in our core businesses, partially 
offset by reduced securities gains in the investment portfolio. The 
return on common equity for the year was 21.2%.

Wholesale Banking revenue is derived primarily from capital markets 
services and corporate lending. Revenue for the year was $2,654 million, 
an increase of $158 million, or 6%, compared with last year. Capital 
markets revenue increased primarily due to improved fixed income and 
credit trading, strong debt underwriting, and robust M&A revenue. 
Fixed income and credit trading revenue increased due to increased 
liquidity, tightening credit spreads and periods of elevated volatility in 
the market. Debt underwriting fees remained strong throughout the 
year. M&A revenue was higher aided by low interest rates, robust 
banking markets and ongoing opportunities for consolidation. Partially 
offsetting these improvements were lower security gains from the 
investment portfolio and weaker equity trading and underwriting on 
low industry-wide volumes and volatility.

In U.S. dollar terms, adjusted revenue for the year was 

PCL comprises specific provision for credit losses and accrual costs 

US$6,107 million, an increase of US$289 million, or 5%, compared 
with last year driven by increased loan and deposit volume, higher fee-
based revenue, and gains on sales of securities, partially offset by the 
impact of the Durbin Amendment and the anticipated run-off in legacy 
Chrysler Financial revenue. Average loans increased by US$12 billion, or 
17%, compared with last year with an increase of US$9 billion, or 31% 
in average personal loans and an increase of US$3 billion, or 8% in aver-
age business loans. Average deposits increased US$17 billion, or 11%, 
compared with prior year, including a US$10 billion increase in average 
deposits of TD Ameritrade. Excluding the impact of TD Ameritrade IDAs, 
average deposit volume increased by US$7 billion, or 7%. The margin 
on average earning assets for the year decreased by 13 bps to 3.60% 
compared with last year primarily due to the low interest rate environ-
ment and timing of cash flows on acquired portfolios.

Reported PCL for the year was US$778 million, an increase of 
US$80 million, or 11%, compared with last year. Adjusted PCL for 
the year was US$723 million, an increase of US$25 million, or 4%, 
compared with last year due primarily to organic loan growth, the 
acquired credit-impaired loan portfolios and the impact of new regula-
tory guidance on loans discharged in bankruptcies, partially offset by 
improved asset quality. Personal banking PCL, excluding debt securities 
classified as loans was US$391 million, an increase of US$131 million, 
or 50%, from the prior year. Business banking PCL, excluding debt 
securities classified as loans was US$320 million, a decrease of 
US$43 million, or 12%, compared with prior year. PCL for loans 

for  credit  protection.  The  change  in  market  value  of  the  credit 
protection, in excess of the accrual cost, is reported in the Corporate 
segment. PCL for the year was $47 million, an increase of $25 million, 
compared with last year. The increase in PCL was primarily due to a 
loss on a single name in the corporate lending portfolio. PCL in the 
prior year primarily comprised the accrual cost of credit protection.

Non-interest expenses for the year were $1,570 million, an increase 
of $102 million, or 7%, compared with last year primarily due to legal 
provisions in the current year and higher variable compensation 
commensurate with improved revenue.

Risk-weighted assets were $43 billion as at October 31, 2012, an 
increase of $8 billion, or 23%, compared with October 31, 2011. The 
increase was due to the implementation of the revised Basel II market 
risk framework.

The average FTE staffing levels increased by 36, or 1%, compared 

with last year.

Corporate segment reported net loss for the year was $208 million, 
compared with a reported net loss of $323 million last year. The 
adjusted net loss for the year was $2 million, compared with an 
adjusted net loss of $18 million last year. The year-over-year change 
in the adjusted net loss was due to higher net corporate expenses, 
partially offset by the impact of favourable tax items, treasury and 
other hedging activities and other items.

FACTORS AFFECTING ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
Total assets were $863 billion as at October 31, 2013, an increase 
of $52 billion, or 6%, from October 31, 2012. The net increase was 
primarily due to a $36 billion increase in loans (net of allowance for 
loan losses), a $30 billion increase in held-to-maturity securities, and 
a $7 billion increase in interest-bearing deposits with banks, partially 
offset by a $23 billion decrease in financial assets at fair value.

Interest-bearing deposits with banks increased $7 billion primarily 
due to an increase in Wholesale Banking driven by higher U.S. Federal 
Reserve deposits.

Held-to-maturity securities increased $30 billion due to a reclassifi-
cation from available-for-sale securities and an increase in securities 
in the U.S. Personal and Commercial Banking segment.

Loans (net of allowance for loan losses) increased $36 billion 
primarily driven by increases in the U.S. Personal and Commercial 
Banking and Canadian Personal and Commercial Banking segments. 
The increase in the U.S. Personal and Commercial Banking segment 
was due to growth in credit card and business and government loans. 
Target added $6 billion to total loans. The Canadian Personal and 
Commercial Banking segment loans increased primarily due to growth 
in residential mortgages and business and government loans.

Total liabilities were $811 billion as at October 31, 2013, an increase 
of $49 billion, or 6%, from October 31, 2012. The net increase was 
primarily due to a $56 billion increase in deposits, partially offset by 
a $10 billion decrease in financial liabilities at fair value.

Financial liabilities at fair value decreased $10 billion largely due 
to a decrease in derivative liabilities, partially offset by an increase 
in trading deposits in Wholesale Banking.

Deposits increased $56 billion primarily due to an increase in personal 
non-term and business and government deposits in the U.S. Personal 
and Commercial Banking and Canadian Personal and Commercial 
Banking segments and bank deposits in Wholesale Banking, partially 
offset by a decrease in personal term deposits in Canadian Personal 
and Commercial Banking.

Equity was $52 billion as at October 31, 2013, an increase of $3 billion, 
or 6%, from October 31, 2012 primarily due to higher retained earnings.

Credit Portfolio Quality

AT A GLANCE OVERVIEW
•   Loans and acceptances net of allowance for loan losses was 

$451 billion, an increase of $35 billion compared with last year.

•   Impaired loans net of counterparty-specific and individually 
insignificant allowances was $2,243 million, an increase of 
$143 million compared with last year.

•   Provision for credit losses was $1,631 million, compared with 

$1,795 million in the prior year.

•   Total  allowance  for  loan  losses  increased  by  $211  million 

to $2,855 million in 2013.

LOAN PORTFOLIO
Overall in 2013, the Bank’s credit quality remained stable despite 
uncertain economic conditions. During 2013, the Bank increased its 
credit portfolio by $35 billion, or 8%, from the prior year, largely due 
to volume growth in the Canadian and U.S. Personal and Commercial 
Banking segments and Target.

While the majority of the credit risk exposure is related to loans and 
acceptances, the Bank also engaged in activities that have off-balance 
sheet credit risk. These include credit instruments and derivative 
financial instruments, as explained in Note 33 to the Consolidated 
Financial Statements.

CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
The Bank’s loan portfolio continued to be dominated by Canadian and 
U.S. residential mortgages, consumer instalment and other personal 
loans, and credit cards, representing 72% of total loans net of coun-
terparty-specific and individually insignificant allowances, down from 
73% in 2012. During the year, these portfolios increased by $22 billion, 
or 7%, and totalled $326 billion at year end. Residential mortgages 
represented 41% of the portfolio in 2013, consistent with 2012. 
Consumer instalment and other personal loans, and credit cards were 
31% of total loans net of counterparty-specific and individually insig-
nificant allowances in 2013, down from 32% in 2012.

The Bank’s business and government credit exposure was 27% of 
total loans net of counterparty-specific and individually insignificant 
allowances, up from 25% in 2012. The largest business and govern-
ment sector concentrations in Canada were the real estate and finan-
cial sectors, which comprised 5% and 2%, respectively. Real estate 
was the leading U.S. sector of concentration and represented 3% of 
net loans, consistent with 2012.

Geographically, the credit portfolio remained concentrated in 
Canada. In 2013, the percentage of loans held in Canada was 74%, 
down from 76% in 2012. The largest Canadian exposure was in 
Ontario, which represented 42% of total loans net of counterparty-
specific and individually insignificant allowance for loan losses for 
2013, down from 43% in 2012.

The balance of the credit portfolio was predominantly in the U.S., 
which represented 24% of the portfolio, up from 22% in 2012 primar-
ily due to volume growth in residential mortgages, consumer indirect 
auto, business and government loans and Target. Exposures to debt 
securities classified as loans, acquired credit-impaired loans, and other 
geographic regions were limited. The largest U.S. exposures by state 
were in New England and New York which represented 7% and 5% 
of total loans net of counterparty-specific and individually insignificant 
allowances, respectively, up from 6% and 4% in 2012.

Real Estate Secured Lending
Retail real estate secured lending includes mortgages and lines of 
credit to North American consumers to satisfy financing needs ranging 
from home purchases to refinancing. Credit policies and strategies are 
aligned with the Bank’s risk appetite and meet all regulatory require-
ments. While the Bank retains first lien on the majority of properties 
held as security, there is a small portion of loans with second liens, but 
most of these are behind a TD mortgage that is in first position. Credit 
policies in Canada ensure that the combined exposure of all uninsured 
facilities on one property does not exceed 80% of the collateral value 
at origination. Lending at a higher loan-to-value ratio is permitted by 
legislation but requires default insurance. This insurance is contractual 
coverage for the life of eligible facilities and protects the Bank’s real 
estate secured lending portfolio against potential losses caused by 

borrower default. The Bank also purchases default insurance on lower 
loan-to-value ratio loans. The insurance is provided by either government-
backed entities or other approved private mortgage insurers.

The Bank regularly performs stress tests on its real estate lending 
portfolio as part of its overall stress testing program. This is done with 
a view to determine the extent to which the portfolio would be vulner-
able to a severe downturn in economic conditions. The effect of severe 
changes in house prices, interest rates and unemployment levels are 
among the factors considered when assessing the impact on credit 
losses and the Bank’s overall profitability. A variety of portfolio segments 
including dwelling type and geographical regions are examined during 
the exercise to determine whether specific vulnerabilities exist. Based 
on our most recent reviews, potential losses on all real estate secured 
lending exposures are considered manageable.

1  Geographic location based on the address of the property mortgaged.
2  Excludes loans classified as trading as the Bank intends to sell the loans immediately 
or in the near term, and loans designated at fair value through profit or loss for 
which no allowance is recorded.

3  Default insurance is contractual coverage for the life of eligible facilities whereby 

the Bank’s exposure to real estate secured lending, all or in part, is protected 
against potential losses caused by borrower default. It is provided by either 
government-backed entities or other approved private mortgage insurers.

4  The territories are included as follows: Yukon is included in British Columbia; Nunavut 

is included in Ontario; and Northwest Territories is included in the Prairies region.

The following table provides a summary of the Bank’s residential 
mortgages by remaining amortization period. All figures are calculated 
based on current customer payment behaviour in order to properly 
reflect the propensity to prepay by borrowers. The current customer 

payment basis accounts for any accelerated payments made to date 
and  projects  remaining  amortization  based  on  existing  balance 
outstanding and current payment terms.

IMPAIRED LOANS
A loan is considered impaired when there is objective evidence that 
there has been a deterioration of credit quality to the extent that the 
Bank no longer has reasonable assurance as to the timely collection of 
the full amount of principal and interest. Excluding debt securities clas-
sified as loans, FDIC covered loans and other acquired credit-impaired 
loans, gross impaired loans increased $174 million, or 7% over 2012. 
Gross impaired loan formations increased year over year by $283 
million, primarily driven by Target.

In Canada, net impaired loans decreased by $127 million, or 12% in 
2013 due to continued credit quality improvement in the personal and 
commercial banking portfolios. Residential mortgages, consumer instal-
ment and other personal loans, and credit cards, generated impaired 
loans net of counterparty-specific and individually insignificant allow-
ances of $815 million, a decrease of $95 million, or 10%, over 2012. 
Business and government loans generated $100 million in net impaired 
loans, a decrease of $32 million, or 24%, over 2012. Business and 
government impaired loans were distributed across industry sectors.

In the U.S., net impaired loans increased by $270 million, or 26% in 
2013. Residential mortgages, consumer instalment and other personal 
loans, and credit cards, generated net impaired loans of $629 million, 
an increase of $234 million, or 59%, over 2012, due primarily to 
volume growth in real estate secured lending, indirect auto and Target. 
Business and government loans generated $699 million in net impaired 
loans, an increase of $36 million, or 5%, over 2012 due primarily to 
volume growth. Business and government impaired loans were concen-
trated  in  the  real  estate  sector as  real estate is the largest sector of 
US  business loans.  Geographically,  41% of  total impaired loans net 
of  counterparty-specific  and individually insignificant  allowances were 
generated in Canada and 59% in the U.S. Net impaired loans in Canada 
were concentrated in Ontario, which represented 18% of total net 
impaired loans, down from 24% in 2012. U.S. net impaired loans 
were concentrated in New England and New Jersey, representing 19% 
and 13%, respectively, of net impaired loans, compared with 18% and 
12%, respectively, in 2012.

ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES
Total allowance for credit losses consists of counterparty-specific and 
collectively assessed allowances. The allowance is increased by the 
provision for credit losses, and decreased by write-offs net of recoveries. 
The Bank maintains the allowance at levels that management believes 
is adequate to absorb incurred credit-related losses in the lending 
portfolio. Individual problem accounts, general economic conditions, 
loss experience, as well as the sector and geographic  mix of the 
lending portfolio are all considered by management in assessing the 
appropriate allowance levels.

Counterparty-specific allowance
The Bank establishes counterparty-specific allowances for impaired 
loans when the estimated realizable value of the loan is less than its 
recorded value, based on the discounting of expected future cash flows. 
Counterparty-specific allowances for credit losses are established to 
reduce the book value of loans to their estimated realizable amounts.

During 2013, counterparty-specific allowances decreased by 

$38 million, or 10%, resulting in a total counterparty-specific allowance 
of $348 million. Excluding debt securities classified as loans, FDIC covered 
loans and other acquired credit-impaired loans, counterparty-specific 
allowances decreased by $19 million, or 11% from the prior year.

Collectively assessed allowance for individually insignificant  
impaired loans
Individually insignificant loans, such as the Bank’s personal and small busi-
ness banking loans and credit cards, are collectively assessed for impair-
ment. Allowances are calculated using a formula that incorporates recent 
loss experience, historical default rates, and the type of collateral pledged.
During 2013, the collectively assessed allowance for individually 
insignificant impaired loans increased by $74 million, or 23%, resulting 
in a total of $391 million. Excluding FDIC covered loans and other 
acquired credit-impaired loans, the collectively assessed allowance 
for individually insignificant impaired loans increased by $48 million, 
or 19% from the prior year due primarily to the full year impact of the 
acquisition of the MBNA Canada credit card portfolio in 2012.

Collectively assessed allowance for incurred but not  
identified credit losses
The collectively assessed allowance for incurred but not identified 
credit losses is established to recognize losses that management esti-
mates to have occurred in the portfolio at the balance sheet date for 
loans not yet specifically identified as impaired. The level of collectively 
assessed allowance for incurred but not identified losses reflects expo-
sures across all portfolios and categories. The collectively assessed 
allowance for incurred but not identified credit losses is reviewed on 
a quarterly basis using credit risk models and management’s judgment. 
The allowance level is calculated using the probability of default (PD), 
the loss given default (LGD) and the exposure at default (EAD) of the 
related portfolios. The PD is the likelihood that a borrower will not be 
able to meet its scheduled repayments. The LGD is the amount of the 
loss the Bank would likely incur when a borrower defaults on a loan, 
which is expressed as a percentage of exposure at default. EAD is the 
total amount the Bank expects to be exposed to at the time of default.

For the non-retail portfolio, allowances are estimated using 

borrower specific information. The LGD is based on the security and 
structure of the facility; EAD is a function of the current usage, the 
borrower’s risk rating, and the committed amount of the facility. For 
the retail portfolio, the collectively assessed allowance for incurred but 
not identified credit losses is calculated on a pooled portfolio level with 
each pool comprising exposures with similar characteristics segmented, 
for example by product type and PD estimate. Recovery data models 
are used in the determination of the LGD for each pool. EAD is a func-
tion of the current usage and historical exposure experience at default.

As at October 31, 2013 the collectively assessed allowance for 
incurred but not identified credit losses was $2,328 million, up from 
$2,152  million  as  at  October  31,  2012.  Excluding  debt  securities 
classified as loans, the collectively assessed allowance for incurred but 
not identified credit losses increased by $233 million, or 12% from the 
prior year primarily due to Target.

The Bank periodically reviews the methodology for calculating the 
allowance for incurred but not identified credit losses. As part of this 
review, certain revisions may be made to reflect updates in statistically 
derived loss estimates for the Bank’s recent loss experience of its credit 
portfolios, which may cause the Bank to provide or release amounts 
from the allowance for incurred but not identified losses. Allowance 
for credit losses are more fully described in Note 7 to the Consolidated 
Financial Statements.

PROVISION FOR CREDIT LOSSES
The provision for credit losses is the amount charged to income to 
bring the total allowance for credit losses, including both counter-
party-specific and collectively assessed allowances, to a level that 
management considers adequate to absorb incurred credit-related 
losses in the Bank’s loan portfolio. Provisions in the year are reduced 
by any recoveries in the year.

The Bank recorded a total provision for credit losses of $1,631 million 

in 2013, compared with a total provision of $1,795 million in 2012. 
This amount comprised $1,481 million of counterparty-specific and 

individually insignificant provisions and $150 million in collectively 
assessed incurred but not identified provisions. The total provision for 
credit losses as a percentage of net average loans and acceptances 
decreased to 0.38% from 0.45% in 2012 largely due to improved 
credit quality in the Canadian and U.S. commercial portfolios.

In Canada, residential mortgages, consumer instalment and other 
personal loans, and credit cards, required counterparty-specific and 
individually insignificant provisions of $865 million, an increase of 
$134 million, or 18%, over 2012 due primarily to the full year impact 
of MBNA in 2012. Business and government loans required counterparty-
specific and individually insignificant provisions of $74 million, a decrease 
of $31 million, or 30%, over 2012 due primarily to improved credit 
quality. Business and government counterparty-specific and individually 
insignificant provisions were distributed across all industry sectors.

In the U.S., residential mortgages, consumer instalment and other 

personal loans, and credit cards, required counterparty-specific and 
individually insignificant provisions of $336 million, an increase of 
$17 million, or 5%, over 2012. Business and government loans 
required counterparty-specific and individually insignificant provisions 
of $144 million, a decrease of $156 million, or 52%, over 2012 
primarily due to the improved credit performance in the real estate 
and financial sectors. Similar to impaired loans, the largest business 
and government counterparty-specific and individually insignificant 
provisions occurred in the real estate sector.

Geographically, 63% of counterparty-specific and individually insig-
nificant provisions were attributed to Canada and 32% to the U.S. in 
2013. Canadian counterparty-specific and individually insignificant 
provisions were concentrated in Ontario, which represented 50% of 
total counterparty-specific and individually insignificant provisions, up 
from 39% in 2012. U.S. counterparty-specific and individually insignifi-
cant provisions were concentrated in New England and New Jersey, 
representing 8% and 5% of total counterparty-specific and individually 
insignificant provisions, down from 13% and 6% respectively in 2012.

Table 36 provides a summary of provisions charged to the 

Consolidated Statement of Income.

2  The territories are included as follows: Yukon is included in British Columbia; Nunavut 
is included in Ontario; and Northwest Territories is included in the Prairies region.
3  Does not include trading loans with a fair value of $10,219 million as at October 31, 
2013 (October 31, 2012 – $8,271 million) and amortized cost of $9,891 million as 
at October 31, 2013 (October 31, 2012 – $7,918 million), and loans designated at 
fair value through profit or loss of $9 million as at October 31, 2013 (October 31, 
2012 – $13 million). No allowance is recorded for trading loans or loans designated 
at fair value through profit or loss.

NON-PRIME LOANS
As at October 31, 2013 the Bank had approximately $2.4 billion 
(October 31, 2012 – $2.3 billion), gross exposure to non-prime loans, 
which primarily consists of automotive loans originated in Canada. The 
credit loss rate, which is an indicator of credit quality and is defined as 
the annual PCL divided by the average month-end loan balance, was 
approximately 3.38% on an annual basis (October 31, 2012 – 3.57%). 
The portfolio continues to perform as expected. These loans are 
recorded at amortized cost.

1  Exposures include interest-bearing deposits with banks and are presented net 

of impairment charges where applicable. There were no impairment charges for 
European exposures as at October 31, 2013 or October 31, 2012.

2  Exposures are calculated on a fair value basis and are net of collateral. Total market 
value of pledged collateral is $1.4 billion for GIIPS (October 31, 2012 – $0.9 billion) 
and $28.2 billion for the rest of Europe (October 31, 2012 – $31.6 billion). Derivatives 
are presented as net exposures where there is an ISDA master netting agreement.

3  Trading Portfolio exposures are net of eligible short positions. Deposits of $2.3 billion 
(October 31, 2012 – $2.6 billion) are included in the Trading and Investment Portfolio.

4  The fair values of the GIIPS exposures in Level 3 in the Trading and Investment 
Portfolio were not significant as at October 31, 2013 and October 31, 2012.

5  The reported exposures do not include $0.3 billion of protection the Bank 
purchased through credit default swaps (October 31, 2012 – $0.3 billion).

6  Other European exposure is distributed across 13 countries (October 31, 2012 – 

11 countries), each of which has a net exposure below $1.0 billion as at October 31, 
2013 and October 31, 2012.

1  Includes interest-bearing deposits with banks, funded loans and banker’s acceptances.
2 Includes undrawn commitments and letters of credit.

Of the Bank’s European exposure, approximately 98% (October 31, 
2012 – 97%) is to counterparties in countries rated AAA/AA+ by either 
Moody’s Investor Services (Moody’s) or Standard & Poor’s (S&P), with 
the majority of this exposure to the sovereigns themselves and to well 
rated, systemically important banks in these countries. Derivatives and 
securities repurchase transactions are completed on a collateralized 
basis. The vast majority of derivatives exposure is offset by cash collat-
eral while the repurchase transactions are backed largely by govern-
ment securities rated AA- or better by either Moody’s or S&P, and 
cash. The Bank also takes a limited amount of exposure to well rated 
corporate issuers in Europe where the Bank also does business with 
their related entities in North America.

In addition to the European exposure identified above, the Bank 
also has $4.9 billion (October 31, 2012 – $3.6 billion) of direct expo-
sure to supranational entities with European sponsorship, and indirect 
exposure including $791 million (October 31, 2012 – $493 million) 
of European collateral from non-European counterparties related to 
repurchase and securities lending transactions that are margined daily, 
and $7 million (October 31, 2012 – $20 million) invested in European 
diversified investment funds.

As part of the Bank’s usual credit risk and exposure monitoring 
processes, all exposures are reviewed on a regular basis. European 
exposures are reviewed monthly or more frequently as circumstances 
dictate and are periodically stress tested to identify and understand 
any potential vulnerabilities. Based on the most recent reviews, all 
European exposures are considered manageable.

EXPOSURE TO ACQUIRED CREDIT-IMPAIRED LOANS
Acquired credit-impaired (ACI) loans are generally loans with evidence 
of credit quality deterioration since origination for which it is probable at 
the purchase date that the Bank will be unable to collect all contractually 
required principal and interest payments. Evidence of credit quality dete-
rioration as of the acquisition date may include statistics such as past 
due status and credit scores. ACI loans are recorded at fair value upon 
acquisition and the applicable accounting guidance prohibits carrying 
over or recording allowance for loan losses in the initial accounting.

ACI loans were acquired through the acquisitions of FDIC-assisted 
transactions, which include FDIC covered loans subject to loss sharing 
agreements with the FDIC, South Financial, Chrysler Financial, and the 
acquisitions of the credit card portfolios of MBNA Canada and Target. 
The following table presents the unpaid principal balance, carrying 
value, counterparty-specific allowance, allowance for individually 
insignificant impaired loans and the net carrying value as a percentage 
of the unpaid principal balance for ACI loans as at October 31, 2013 
and October 31, 2012.

EXPOSURE TO NON-AGENCY COLLATERALIZED  
MORTGAGE OBLIGATIONS
As a result of the acquisition of Commerce Bancorp Inc., the Bank has 
exposure to non-agency Collateralized Mortgage Obligations (CMOs) 
collateralized  primarily  by  Alt-A  and  Prime  Jumbo  mortgages,  most 
of which  are  pre-payable  fixed-rate  mortgages  without  rate  reset 
features. At the time of acquisition, the portfolio was recorded at fair 
value, which became the new cost basis for this portfolio.

These debt securities are classified as loans and carried at amortized 

cost using the effective interest rate method, and are evaluated for 
loan losses on a quarterly basis using the incurred credit loss model. 
The impairment assessment follows the loan loss accounting model, 
where there are two types of allowances for credit losses, counterparty-

specific and collectively assessed. Counterparty-specific allowances 
represent individually significant loans, such as the Bank’s business and 
government  loans  and  debt  securities  classified  as  loans,  which  are 
assessed  for  whether  impairment  exists  at  the  counterparty-specific 
level.  Collectively  assessed  allowances  consist  of  loans  for  which 
no impairment  is  identified  on  a  counterparty-specific  level  and  are 
grouped into portfolios of exposures with similar credit risk characteris-
tics to collectively assess if impairment exists at the portfolio level.

The allowance for losses that are incurred but not identified as at 
October 31, 2013 was US$94 million (October 31, 2012 – US$156 million). 
The total provision for credit losses recognized in 2013 was a decrease 
of US$30 million (2012 – US$12 million, 2011 – US$51 million).

During the year ended October 31, 2013, the Bank sold US$520 million 
of non-agency  CMOs,  which  resulted  in  a  net  gain  on  sale  of 
US$106 million reported in Other income on the Bank’s Consolidated 
Statement of Income.

During the second quarter of 2009, the Bank re-securitized a 

portion of the non-agency CMO portfolio. As part of the on-balance 
sheet re-securitization, new credit ratings were obtained for the 
re-securitized securities that better reflect the discount on acquisition 

and  the  Bank’s  risk  inherent  on  the  entire  portfolio.  As  a  result, 
13%  of the non-agency CMO portfolio is now rated AAA for regulatory 
capital reporting (October 31, 2012 – 14%). The net capital benefit 
of the re-securitization transaction is reflected in the changes in RWA. 
For accounting purposes, the Bank retained a majority of the beneficial 
interests in the re-securitized securities resulting in no financial statement 
impact. The Bank’s assessment of impairment for these reclassified 
securities is not impacted by a change in the credit ratings.

1 Prior to 2012, the amounts are calculated based on Canadian GAAP.
2  Effective 2012, in accordance with IAS 32, Financial Instruments: Presentation, the 
Bank is required to classify certain classes of preferred shares and innovative Tier 1 
capital investments as liabilities on the balance sheet. Prior to 2012, in accordance 
with the CICA Handbook Section 3860, the Bank was required to classify certain 
classes of preferred shares and innovative Tier 1 capital investments as liabilities on 
the balance sheet. For regulatory capital purposes, these capital instruments have 
been grandfathered by OSFI and continue to be included in Tier 1 capital.

3  As at November 2011, the one month lag for financial reporting has been elimi-

nated. In previous months, for accounting purposes, the Bank’s investment in TD 
Ameritrade was translated using the month-end rate of TD Ameritrade’s reporting 
period, which was on a one month lag. For regulatory purposes only, the Bank’s 
investment in TD Ameritrade was translated using the period-end foreign exchange 
rate of the Bank.

THE BANK’S CAPITAL MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES:
The Bank’s capital management objectives are:
•   To be an appropriately capitalized financial institution as determined by:
  – The Bank’s Risk Appetite Statement;
  –  Capital requirements defined by relevant regulatory authorities; and,
  –  The Bank’s internal assessment of capital requirements consistent 

with the Bank’s risk profile and risk tolerance levels.

•   To have the most economically achievable weighted average cost 

of capital (after tax), consistent with preserving the appropriate mix 
of capital elements to meet targeted capitalization levels.

•   To ensure ready access to sources of appropriate capital, at reason-

able cost, in order to:

  – Insulate the Bank from unexpected events; and
  –  Support and facilitate business growth and/or acquisitions consis-

tent with the Bank’s strategy and risk appetite.

•   To support strong external debt ratings, in order to manage the Bank’s 
overall cost of funds and to maintain accessibility to required funding.

These objectives are applied in a manner consistent with the Bank’s over-
all objective of providing a satisfactory return on shareholders’ equity.

4  When expected loss as calculated within the Internal Risk Based (IRB) approach 
exceeds total allowance for credit losses, the difference is deducted 50% from 
Tier 1 capital and 50% from Tier 2 capital. When expected loss as calculated within 
the IRB approach is less than the total allowance for credit losses, the difference is 
added to Tier 2 capital.

5  Based on OSFI advisory letter dated February 20, 2007, 100% of investments 

in insurance subsidiaries held prior to January 1, 2007 are deducted from Tier 2 
capital. The 50% from Tier 1 capital and 50% from Tier 2 capital deduction was 
deferred until 2012.

6  OSFI’s target Tier 1 and Total capital ratios for Canadian banks are 7% and 10%, 

respectively.

CAPITAL SOURCES
The Bank’s capital is primarily derived from common shareholders and 
retained earnings. Other sources of capital include the Bank’s preferred 
shareholders, holders of innovative capital instruments, and holders of 
the Bank’s subordinated debt.

CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
The Enterprise Capital Management department manages capital for the 
Bank and is responsible for acquiring, maintaining, and retiring capital. 
The Board of Directors oversees capital adequacy and management.
The Bank continues to hold sufficient capital levels to ensure that 

flexibility is maintained to grow operations, both organically and 
through strategic acquisitions. The strong capital ratios are the result 
of the Bank’s internal capital generation, management of the balance 
sheet, and periodic issuance of capital securities.

ECONOMIC CAPITAL
The Bank’s internal measure of required capital is called economic 
capital or invested capital. Economic capital is comprised of both risk-
based capital required to fund losses that could occur under extremely 
adverse economic or operational conditions and investment capital 
that has been used to fund acquisitions or investments in fixed assets 
to support future earnings growth.

The Bank uses internal models to determine how much risk-based 
capital is required to support the enterprise’s risk and business expo-
sures. Characteristics of these models are described in the ‘Managing 
Risk’ section. Within the Bank’s measurement framework, our objec-
tive is to hold risk-based capital to cover unexpected losses to a high 
level of confidence and ratings standards. The Bank’s chosen internal 
capital targets are well founded and consistent with our overall risk 
profile and current operating environment.

Since November 1, 2007, the Bank has been operating its capital 
regime under the Basel Capital Framework. Consequently, in addition 
to addressing Pillar I risks covering credit risk, market risk and opera-
tional risk, the Bank’s economic capital framework captures other 
material Pillar II risks including non-trading market risk for the retail 
portfolio (interest rate risk in the banking book), additional credit risk 
due to concentration (commercial and wholesale portfolios), and risks 
classified as “Other”, namely business risk, insurance risk, and the 
Bank’s investment in TD Ameritrade.

Please refer to the Risk-Weighted Assets section below for a break-
down of the Bank’s economic capital by business segment, and Pillar I 
and Pillar II risks.

REGULATORY CAPITAL
Basel III Capital Framework
Changes in capital requirements approved by the Basel Committee on 
Banking and Supervision (BCBS) are commonly referred to as Basel III. 
These changes are intended to strengthen global capital rules with the 
goal of promoting a more resilient global banking sector.

Under Basel III, total capital consists of three components, namely 

CET1, Additional Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital. The sum of the first two 
components is defined as Tier 1 capital. CET1 capital is mainly comprised 
of common shares, retained earnings and accumulated other compre-
hensive income, and is the highest quality capital and the predominant 
form of Tier 1 capital. CET1 capital includes regulatory adjustments 
and deductions for items such as goodwill, other intangibles, amounts 
by which capital items (that is, significant investments in CET1 capital 
of  financial  institutions,  mortgage  servicing  rights  and  deferred  tax 
assets from temporary differences) exceed allowable thresholds. Tier 2 
capital  is  mainly  comprised  of  subordinated  debt,  certain  loan  loss 
allowances and minority interests in subsidiaries’ Tier 2 instruments.

Under Basel III, risk-weighted assets are higher, primarily as a result 

of the 250% risk-weighted threshold items not deducted from CET1 
capital, securitization exposures being risk weighted (previously 
deducted from capital) and a new capital charge for credit risk related 
to asset value correlation for financial institutions. Regulatory capital 
ratios are calculated by dividing CET1, Tier 1 and Total capital by RWA.

OSFI’s Regulatory Target Ratios under Basel III on an “All-In” Basis

OSFI’s Capital Requirements under Basel III
In December 2012, OSFI released the final version of its Capital 
Adequacy Requirements (CAR) Guideline. The guideline details how 
the Basel III rules should apply to Canadian banks.

The final CAR Guideline postponed the CVA capital add-on charge 

until January 1, 2014. OSFI has indicated there will be delays in the 
implementation of Basel III standards in the U.S. and European Union 
countries. The bilateral over-the-counter (OTC) derivative market is a 
global market and given the significant impact of the CVA capital 
add-on charge, OSFI believes a coordinated start with the two most 
significant jurisdictions in the global derivatives market is warranted. 
As a result, OSFI issued a letter on August 21, 2013 advising the CVA 
capital charge will be phased in over a five year period beginning 2014 
and will be based on two available options. Option 1 allows for a scalar 
phase-in for the CVA capital add-on charge of 57% in 2014 for the 
CET1 capital ratio calculation. This percentage would increase to 64% 
for 2015 and 2016, 72% in 2017, 80% in 2018 and 100% in 2019. 
A different set of scalar phase-in percentages would also apply for the 
Tier 1 and Total capital ratios calculations. Option 2 allows for a scalar 
phase-in for all the capital ratios based on the Total Capital ratio phase-
in percentages. OSFI also clarified that, although market risk hedges of 
CVA are not recognized in the CVA capital charge, market risk hedges 
of CVA used for the purposes of mitigating CVA risk, and managed as 
such, are exempt from market risk capital requirements.

The CAR Guideline contains two methodologies for capital ratio 
calculation: (i) the “transitional” method; and (ii) the “all-in” method. 
Under the “transitional” method, changes in capital treatment for 
certain items, as well as minimum capital ratio requirements, will 
be phased in over the period from 2013 to 2019. Under the “all-in” 
method, capital is defined to include all of the regulatory adjustments 
that will be required by 2019, while retaining the phase-out rules for 
non-qualifying capital instruments. The minimum CET1, Tier 1 and 
Total capital ratios based on the “all-in” method are 4.5%, 6.0% and 
8.0%, respectively. OSFI expected Canadian banks to include an addi-
tional capital conservation buffer of 2.5% in the first quarter of 2013, 
effectively raising the CET1 minimum requirement to 7.0%. With the 
capital conservation buffer, Canadian banks are required to maintain 
a minimum Tier 1 capital ratio of 8.5% and a Total capital ratio of 
10.5%, starting in the first quarter of 2014.

At the discretion of OSFI, a countercyclical common equity capital 
buffer (CCB) within a range of 0-2.5% could be imposed. No CCB is 
currently in effect.

In November 2011, the BCBS published the final rules on global 
systemically important banks (G-SIBs). None of the Canadian banks 
have been designated as a G-SIB. In March 2013, OSFI designated 
six of the major Canadian banks as domestic systemically important 
banks (D-SIBs), for which a 1% common equity capital surcharge will 
be in effect from January 1, 2016. As a result, the six Canadian banks 
designated  as  D-SIBs,  including  TD,  will  be  required  to  meet  an   
“all-in” Pillar 1 target CET1 ratio of 8% commencing January 1, 2016.

its  asset-to-capital (ACM) multiple test on a continuous basis. The 
multiple is calculated on a Basel III “transitional basis”, by dividing 
total assets, including specified off-balance sheet items, by total capital.

TD BANK GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2013 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Capital Position and Capital Ratios
The Basel framework allows qualifying banks to determine capital 
levels consistent with the way they measure, manage and mitigate 
risks. It specifies methodologies for the measurement of credit, market, 
and operational risks. The Bank uses the advanced approaches for the 
majority of its portfolios which results in regulatory and economic 
capital being more closely aligned than was the case under Basel I. 
Since the U.S. banking subsidiaries (TD Bank, N.A. including South 
Financial and Chrysler Financial) were not originally required by their 
main regulators to convert to Basel II prior to being acquired by the 
Bank, the advanced approaches are not yet being utilized for the 
majority of assets in TD Bank, N.A.

For accounting purposes, IFRS is followed for consolidation of subsid-

iaries and joint ventures. For regulatory capital purposes, insurance 
subsidiaries are deconsolidated and reported as a deduction from capital. 
Insurance subsidiaries are subject to their own capital adequacy reporting 
such as OSFI’s Minimum Continuing Capital Surplus Requirements and 
Minimum Capital Test. Currently, for regulatory capital purposes, all the 
entities of the Bank are either consolidated or deducted from capital and 
there are no entities from which surplus capital is recognized.

Some of the Bank’s subsidiaries are individually regulated by either 
OSFI or other regulators. Many of these entities have minimum capital 
requirements which they must maintain and which may limit the 
Bank’s ability to extract capital or funds for other uses.

Common Equity Tier 1 Capital
CET1 capital was $25,822 million as at October 31, 2013. Strong 
earnings contributed to the majority of CET1 capital growth in the 
year. Capital management funding activities during the year included 
the common share issuance of $0.8 billion under the dividend rein-
vestment plan and stock option exercises. The growth in CET1 capital 
is partially offset by the share buybacks in the year.

Tier 1 and Tier 2 Capital
Under Basel III, all of TD’s outstanding non-common Tier 1 and Tier 2 
capital instruments are considered non-qualifying as regulatory capital, 
subject  to  a  10  year  phase-out  period  beginning  in  January  2013. 
TD announced on February 7, 2011 that, based on OSFI’s February 4, 
2011 advisory which outlined OSFI’s expectations regarding the use 
of  redemption rights triggered by regulatory event clauses in non-
qualifying capital instruments, it expects to exercise a regulatory event 
redemption right only in 2022 in respect of the TD Capital Trust IV 
Notes – Series 2 outstanding at that time. As of October 31, 2013, 
there was $450 million in principal amount of TD Capital Trust IV 
Notes – Series 2 issued and outstanding.

In November 2012 and in June 2013, the Bank redeemed $2.5 billion 
and  $900  million,  respectively,  of  subordinated  debentures  which 
qualified as Tier 2 regulatory capital. See Note 34 to the Bank’s 
Consolidated Financial Statements for more details.

INTERNAL CAPITAL ADEQUACY ASSESSMENT PROCESS
The Bank’s Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process (ICAAP) is an 
integrated enterprise-wide process that encompasses the governance, 
management, and control of risk and capital functions within the Bank. 
It provides a framework for relating risks to capital requirements through 
the Bank’s economic capital modeling and stress testing practices which 
help inform the Bank’s overall capital adequacy requirements.

The ICAAP is facilitated by Risk Management and is supported by 
numerous functional areas who together help determine the Bank’s 
internal capital adequacy assessment. This assessment ultimately 
represents the capacity to bear risk in congruence with the risk profile 
and stated risk appetite of the Bank. Risk Management leads the ICAAP 
and  assesses  whether the Bank’s internal view of required capital 
is appropriate  for  the  Bank’s  risks.  Enterprise  Capital  Management 
monitors  the  overall  adequacy  of  the  Bank’s  available  capital  in   
relation to both internal and regulatory capital requirements.

DIVIDENDS
The Bank’s dividend policy is approved by the Board of Directors. At 
October 31, 2013, the quarterly dividend was $0.85 per share, consistent 
with the Bank’s current target payout range of 40-50% of adjusted 
earnings. Cash dividends declared and paid during 2013 totalled 
$3.24 per share (2012 – $2.89). For cash dividends payable on the Bank’s 
preferred shares, see Notes 19, 21 and 37 to the Consolidated Financial 
Statements. As at October 31, 2013, 917.5 million common shares were 
outstanding (2012 – 916.1 million). The Bank’s ability to pay dividends 
is subject to the Bank Act (Canada) and the requirements of OSFI. 
See Note 21 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further details 
on dividend restrictions.

CAPITAL RATIOS
Capital ratios are measures of financial strength and flexibility. The 
Bank’s  capital  ratios  are  calculated  using  OSFI’s  guidelines  which 
are based on the capital adequacy rules included in Basel III. At the 
consolidated level, the top corporate entity to which Basel III applies 
is The Toronto-Dominion Bank.

OSFI measures the capital adequacy of Canadian banks according 
to its instructions for determining risk-adjusted capital, RWA and off-
balance sheet exposures.

OSFI defines three primary ratios to measure capital adequacy, the 
CET1 capital ratio, the Tier 1 capital ratio and the Total capital ratio. 
OSFI sets target levels for Canadian banks as follows:
•   The CET1 capital ratio is defined as CET1 regulatory capital divided 
by RWA. OSFI has established a target CET1 capital ratio of 7%.
•   The Tier 1 capital ratio is defined as Tier 1 regulatory capital divided 
by RWA. OSFI has established a target Tier 1 capital ratio of 8.5%.
•   The Total capital ratio is defined as total regulatory capital divided 
by RWA. OSFI has established a target Total capital ratio of 10.5%.

As at October 31, 2013, the Bank’s CET1, Tier 1 and Total capital 
ratios were 9.0%, 11.0% and 14.2%, respectively. Compared with the 
Bank’s pro forma CET1 ratio of 8.2% as at October 31, 2012, the 
October 31, 2013 CET1 ratio increased primarily as a result of strong 
retained earnings growth, common share issuance through participation 
in the Bank’s dividend reinvestment plan and exercise of stock options, 
and reduction of RWA due to the exclusion of the CVA capital add-on 
charge  (refer  to  the  “OSFI’s  Capital  Requirements  under  Basel  III” 
discussion). The CVA capital add-on charge represents approximately 
31 bps, of which 57% (or 18bps) would be included in the 2014 CET1 
ratio, per OSFI’s determined scalar phase-in. During the year, the Bank 
generated approximately $4.2 billion of excess CET1 capital through 
organic  growth  and  balance  sheet  optimization  activities.  In  2013, 
the Bank was able to fund acquisitions, support business growth, and 
improve  the Bank’s capital  position largely without raising additional 
capital. As at October 31, 2013, the Bank had an excess over OSFI’s all-in 
regulatory minimum CET1 capital ratio of approximately $5.0 billion.

NORMAL COURSE ISSUER BID
On June 19, 2013, the Bank announced that the Toronto Stock 
Exchange (TSX) and OSFI approved the Bank’s normal course issuer bid 
to repurchase for cancellation up to 12 million of our common shares. 
Purchases under the bid commenced on June 21, 2013 and will end 
on June 20, 2014, such earlier date as the Bank may determine or such 
earlier date as the Bank may complete its purchases pursuant to the 
notice of intention filed with the TSX. As of October 31, 2013, the Bank 
repurchased 9.0 million common shares under this bid at an average 
price of $86.50 for a total amount of $780.2 million. The Bank did not 
have a normal course issuer bid outstanding during fiscal 2012.

TD BANK GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2013 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSISRISK-WEIGHTED ASSETS
Based on Basel III, RWA are calculated for each of credit risk, market 
risk, and operational risk. Operational risk represents the risk of loss 
resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes, people and 
systems or from external events. The Bank’s RWA were as follows:

1  Effective 2013, amounts are calculated in accordance with the Basel III regulatory 
framework, and are presented based on the “all-in” methodology. Prior to 2013, 
amounts were calculated in accordance with the Basel II regulatory framework.

Counterparty credit risk comprises exposures arising from OTC deriva-
tives. Non-counterparty credit risk includes loans and advances to retail 
customers (individuals and small business), corporate entities (whole-
sale and commercial customers), banks and governments, as well as 
holdings of debt, equity securities and other assets (including prepaid 
expenses, deferred and current income taxes, land, building, equip-
ment and other depreciable property).

The  Book  size category  consists of  organic changes in book size 
and  composition (including new business and maturing loans) and, 
for the fourth quarter of 2013, is mainly due to growth in derivatives 
and corporate and commercial loans in our Wholesale and Business 
Banking segments.

The Book quality category includes quality of book changes caused 
by experience such as underlying customer behaviour or demographics, 
including changes through model calibrations/realignments and, for 
the fourth quarter of 2013, is mainly due to the update of non-retail 
risk parameters and improvements in retail book quality.

The Model updates category relates to model implementation, 

changes in model scope or any change to address model malfunctions.
The Methodology and policy category impacts are methodology 
changes to the calculations driven by regulatory policy changes, such 
as new regulations.

Foreign exchange movements are mainly due to a change in the 
U.S. dollar foreign exchange rate on the U.S. portfolios in our U.S. 
Personal and Commercial segment.

The Other category includes items not described in the above cate-
gories including changes in exposures not included under advance or 
standardized methodologies (including prepaid expenses, current and 
deferred income taxes, land, building, equipment and other deprecia-
ble property and other assets).

During the year, RWA increased $40.5 billion, primarily due to higher 
RWA requirements with transition to Basel III and organic growth in 
the retail and commercial businesses in both Canada and the U.S. 
The new rules require securitization exposures to be risk weighted as 
opposed to being deducted from capital, portion of threshold items 
(for example, insurance investments, investment in TD Ameritrade and 
deferred tax assets related to temporary difference) not deducted from 
capital to be risk weighted at 250%, and a new capital charge for 
credit risk related to asset value correlation for financial institutions 
to be added, all of which increased RWA from Basel II.

The Movement in risk levels category reflects changes in risk due to 
position changes and market movements. An increasing contribution 
to RWA was observed over the period which was primarily driven by 
increases in treasury and agency bond positions in our U.S. portfolio, 
and increases in energy and industrial bonds in our Canadian books.

The Model updates category reflects updates to the model to reflect 

recent experience and changes in model scope.

The Methodology and policy category reflects methodology changes 

to the calculations driven by regulatory policy changes.

Foreign exchange movements and other are deemed not meaningful 

since  RWA  exposure  measures  are  calculated  in  Canadian  dollars. 
Therefore, no foreign exchange translation is required.

The following chart provides a breakdown of the Bank’s regulatory 

capital and economic capital. Regulatory Capital reflects the RWA 
required for Pillar I risks only, namely credit, trading market risk and 
operational risk. Economic capital reflects the Bank’s internal view 
of capital required for risks captured under the regulatory framework 
and includes those risks identified as Basel II Pillar II risks which are 
not captured within the assessment of RWA. The Basel II Pillar II risks 
include non-trading market risk for the retail portfolio (Interest Rate 
Risk in the Banking Book), additional credit risk due to concentration 

(commercial and wholesale portfolios), and risks classified as “Other,” 
namely  business  risk,  insurance  risk,  and  the  Bank’s  investment  in 
TD  Ameritrade. Economic capital is also assessed at a higher confidence 
level  which  is  consistent  with  the  Bank’s  overall  target  debt  rating. 
The  differences between economic  capital  and regulatory capital in 
the figure below are predominately due to the additional Pillar II risks 
captured under economic capital and the variance in confidence level. 
For  additional  information on the  risks highlighted  below, refer to

TD BANK GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2013 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSISFUTURE CHANGES IN BASEL
Future Basel III Developments
In December 2012, BCBS published a consultative document proposing 
a  revised  securitization  framework.  The  proposal  aims  to  enhance 
current methodologies of calculating securitization RWA by making 
them more risk sensitive and limiting over reliance on rating agencies. 
The proposal would generally increase the risk weights of investments 
in securitization exposures.

In June 2013, the BCBS issued an update to the Basel III leverage 
ratio framework and related disclosure requirements. The leverage ratio 
was initially announced in the Basel III framework in December 2010. 
The leverage ratio is intended to serve as a supplementary measure to 
the risk-based capital requirements, with the objective of constraining 
the build-up of excess leverage in the banking sector. Implementation 
of the Basel III leverage ratio requirement has begun with bank-level 
reporting to OSFI and its components from January 1, 2013, and will 
proceed with public disclosure starting January 1, 2015. Any final 
adjustments to the definition and calibration of the Basel III leverage 
ratio will be made by 2017, with a view to migrating to a Pillar 1 treat-
ment on January 1, 2018 based on appropriate review and calibration.

In July 2013, the BCBS issued an update to the final rules on G-SIBs, 

originally published in November 2011. The update provides clarity 
on the public disclosure requirements of the 12 indicators used in the 
assessment  methodology. As noted earlier, the six Canadian banks 
that  have been designated as D-SIBs are required by OSFI to publish, 
at a minimum, the 12 indicators used in the G-SIB indicator-based 
assessment framework by February 28, 2014.

In July 2013, the U.S. Federal Reserve, FDIC and the Office of the 
Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) approved the adoption of the final 
rule on the Basel III Capital framework to take effect January 1, 2014 
for U.S. banking organizations that are required to follow the advanced 
approaches, which includes the Bank’s U.S. bank subsidiaries.

GROUP FINANCIAL CONDITION

Securitization and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

In the normal course of operations, the Bank engages in a variety of 
financial transactions that, under IFRS, are either not recorded on the 
Consolidated Balance Sheet or are recorded in amounts that differ 
from the full contract or notional amounts. These off-balance sheet 
arrangements involve, among other risks, varying elements of market, 
credit, and liquidity risks which are discussed in the “Managing Risk” 
section of this MD&A. Off-balance sheet arrangements are generally 
undertaken for risk management, capital management, and funding 
management purposes and include securitizations, contractual obliga-
tions, and certain commitments and guarantees.

SPECIAL PURPOSE ENTITIES
The Bank carries out certain business activities through arrangements 
with special purpose entities (SPEs). We use SPEs to raise capital, obtain 
sources of liquidity by securitizing certain of the Bank’s financial assets, 
to assist our clients in securitizing their financial assets, and to create 
investment products for our clients. Securitizations are an important 
part of the financial markets, providing liquidity by facilitating investor 
access to specific portfolios of assets and risks. See Note 2 to the 
Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding 
the accounting for SPEs.

Securitization of Bank-Originated Assets
The Bank securitizes residential mortgages, business and government 
loans,  personal  loans,  automobile  loans,  and  credit  card  loans  to 
enhance  its  liquidity  position,  to  diversify  sources  of  funding  and 
to optimize the management of the balance sheet.

The Bank securitizes residential mortgages under the National 
Housing Act Mortgage-Backed Securities (NHA MBS) program spon-
sored by the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC). 
The securitization of the residential mortgages with the CHMC does 
not qualify for derecognition and remain on the Bank’s Consolidated 
Balance Sheet. Additionally, the Bank securitizes personal loans, auto-
mobile loans, and credit card loans by selling them to Bank-sponsored 
SPEs that are consolidated by the Bank. The Bank also securitizes U.S. 
residential mortgages with U.S. government agencies which qualify for 
derecognition and are removed from the Bank’s Consolidated Balance 
Sheet. Certain automobile loans acquired by the Bank as part of the 
acquisition of Chrysler Financial were originated in the U.S. and sold 
to U.S. securitization structures. All other products securitized by the 
Bank were originated in Canada and sold to Canadian securitization 
structures. See Note 8 and Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial 
Statements for further information.

3  In securitization transactions that the Bank has undertaken for its own assets,  
it has acted as an originating bank and retained securitization exposure from 
a capital perspective.

Residential Mortgage Loans
The Bank securitizes residential mortgage loans through significant 
unconsolidated SPEs and Canadian non-SPE third-parties. Residential 
mortgage loans securitized by the Bank may give rise to full or partial 
derecognition of the financial assets depending on the individual 
arrangement of each transaction. In instances where the Bank either 
fully or partially derecognizes residential mortgage loans, the Bank may 
be exposed to the risks of transferred loans through retained interests. 
As at October 31, 2013, the Bank has not recognized any retained 
interests due to the securitization of residential mortgage loans on its 
Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Consumer Instalment and Other Personal Loans
The Bank securitizes consumer instalment and other personal loans 
through consolidated SPEs. The Bank consolidates the SPEs as they serve 
as financing vehicles for the Bank’s assets, and the Bank is exposed to 
the majority of the residual risks of the SPEs. As at October 31, 2013, 
the SPEs issued $5.1 billion of issued commercial paper outstanding 
(October 31, 2012 – $5.1 billion) and $1.0 billion of issued notes 
outstanding (October 31, 2012 – $0.3 billion). As at October 31, 2013, 
the Bank’s maximum potential exposure to loss for these conduits 
was $6.1 billion (October 31, 2012 – $5.5 billion) of which $1.1 billion 
of underlying consumer instalment and other personal loans was 
government insured (October 31, 2012 – $1.1 billion).

Credit Card Loans
The Bank securitizes credit card loans through a consolidated SPE. On 
December 1, 2011, the Bank acquired substantially all of the credit card 
portfolio of MBNA Canada. As a result of the acquisition, the Bank has 
consolidated the SPE as it serves as a financing vehicle for the Bank’s 
assets, and the Bank is exposed to the majority of the residual risks of 
the SPE. As at October 31, 2013, the consolidated SPE had $0.6 billion 
of issued notes outstanding (October 31, 2012 – $1.3 billion). As at 
October 31, 2013, the Bank’s maximum potential exposure to loss for 
this SPE was $0.6 billion (October 31, 2012 – $1.3 billion).

Business and Government Loans
The Bank securitizes business and government loans through significant 
unconsolidated SPEs and Canadian non-SPE third parties. Business and 
government loans securitized by the Bank may be derecognized from 
the Bank’s balance sheet depending on the individual arrangement 
of each transaction. In instances where the Bank fully derecognizes 
business and government loans, the Bank may be exposed to the risks 
of transferred loans through retained interests. There are no expected 
credit losses on the retained interests of the securitized business and 
government loans as the mortgages are all government insured.

Securitization of Third Party-Originated Assets
Significant Consolidated SPE
The Bank has a securitization exposure to certain third party originated 
assets through a consolidated SPE. The Bank consolidates the SPE since 
it is wholly-funded by the Bank, and the Bank is exposed to the major-
ity of the risks of the SPE. As at October 31, 2013, the consolidated 

SPE had $312 million (October 31, 2012 – nil) of assets secured by 
underlying  trade  receivables,  originated in the U.S. The weighted-
average life of these assets is 3.4 years. The Bank’s maximum potential 
exposure to loss due to its funding of the SPE as at October 31, 2013 
was $312 million (October 31, 2012 – nil). As at October 31, 2013, 
the funding is provided primarily through a senior facility that has a 
AAA rating from the credit rating agency. Further, as at October 31, 
2013, the Bank had committed to provide an additional $53 million 
in funding to the SPE.

Significant Non-Consolidated Special Purpose Entities
Multi-Seller Conduits
The Bank administers multi-seller conduits and provides liquidity facilities 
as well as securities distribution services; it may also provide credit 
enhancements. Third party-originated assets are securitized through 
Bank-sponsored SPEs, which are not consolidated by the Bank. The Bank’s 
maximum potential exposure to loss due to its ownership interest in 
commercial paper and through the provision of liquidity facilities for 
multi-seller conduits was $9.6 billion as at October 31, 2013 (October 31, 
2012 – $7.5 billion). Further, as at October 31, 2013, the Bank had 
committed to provide an additional $2.0 billion in liquidity facilities that 
can be used to support future asset-backed commercial paper (ABCP) in 
the purchase of deal-specific assets (October 31, 2012 – $2.2 billion).
All third-party assets securitized by the Bank’s non-consolidated 
multi-seller conduits were originated in Canada and sold to Canadian 
securitization structures. Details of the Bank-administered multi-seller, 
ABCP conduits are as follows:

As at October 31, 2013, the Bank held $1,717 million of ABCP issued 
by Bank-sponsored multi-seller conduits within the Available-for-sale 
securities and Trading loans, securities, and other categories on its 
Consolidated Balance Sheet (October 31, 2012 – $128 million).

control processes in place to mitigate these risks. Certain commitments 
still remain off-balance sheet. Note 29 to the Consolidated Financial 
Statements provides detailed information about the maximum amount 
of additional credit the Bank could be obligated to extend.

EXPOSURE TO THIRD PARTY SPONSORED CONDUITS
The Bank has exposure to U.S. third party-sponsored conduits arising 
from providing liquidity facilities of $521 million as at October 31, 
2013 (October 31, 2012 – $500 million) of which nil has been 
drawn (October 31, 2012 – nil). The assets within these conduits are 
comprised of individual notes backed by automotive loan receivables. 
As at October 31, 2013, these assets have maintained ratings from 
various credit rating agencies, ranging from AAA to AA.

The Bank no longer has any exposure to Canadian third party-

sponsored conduits in the form of margin funding facilities as at 
October 31, 2013 (October 31, 2012 – not significant).

COMMITMENTS
The Bank enters into various commitments to meet the financing needs 
of the Bank’s clients and to earn fee income. Significant commitments 
of the Bank include financial and performance standby letters of credit, 
documentary and commercial letters of credit and commitments to 
extend credit. These products may expose the Bank to liquidity, credit 
and reputational risks. There are adequate risk management and 

Leveraged Finance Credit Commitments
Also included in ‘Commitments to extend credit’ in Note 29 to the 
Consolidated Financial Statements are leveraged finance credit 
commitments. Leveraged finance credit commitments are agreements 
that provide funding to a wholesale borrower with higher levels of 
debt, measured by the ratio of debt capital to equity capital of the 
borrower, relative to the industry in which it operates. The Bank’s 
exposure to leveraged finance credit commitments as at October 31, 
2013 was not significant (October 31, 2012 – not significant).

GUARANTEES
In the normal course of business, the Bank enters into various guaran-
tee  contracts to  support  its  clients. The Bank’s significant  types of 
guarantee products are financial and performance standby letters of 
credit, assets sold with recourse, credit enhancements, written options, 
and indemnification agreements. Certain guarantees remain off-balance 
sheet. See Note 29 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further 
information regarding the accounting for guarantees.

In the ordinary course of business, the Bank also provides various 
banking services to associated and other related corporations on terms 
similar to those offered to non-related parties.

TRANSACTIONS WITH EQUITY-ACCOUNTED INVESTEES
TD AMERITRADE
Pursuant  to  the  Stockholders  Agreement  in  relation  to  the  Bank’s 
equity  investment  in  TD  Ameritrade,  the  Bank  designated  five  of 
12 members  of  TD  Ameritrade’s  Board  of  Directors  including  the 
Bank’s Group President and Chief Executive Officer, its Executive Vice 
President of Retail Banking, Products and Service, two independent 
directors of TD, and a former independent director of TD. A descrip-
tion of significant transactions of the Bank and its affiliates with 
TD Ameritrade is set forth below.

GROUP FINANCIAL CONDITION

Financial Instruments

Insured Deposit Account (formerly known as Money Market 
Deposit Account) Agreement
The Bank is party to an IDA agreement with TD Ameritrade, pursuant 
to which the Bank makes available to clients of TD Ameritrade, IDAs 
as designated sweep vehicles. TD Ameritrade provides marketing and 
support  services  with  respect  to  the  IDA.  The  Bank  paid  fees  of 
$821 million in 2013 (2012 – $834 million; 2011 – $762 million) to 
TD Ameritrade for the deposit accounts. The fee paid by the Bank is 
based on the average insured deposit balance of $70.4 billion in 2013 
(2012 – $60.3 billion; 2011 – $49.3 billion) with a portion of the fee 
tied to the actual yield earned by the Bank on the investments, less the 
actual interest paid to clients of TD Ameritrade, with the balance based 
on an agreed rate of return. The Bank earns a servicing fee of 25 basis 
points on the aggregate average daily balance in the sweep accounts 
(subject to an adjustment, based on a specified formula).

As at October 31, 2013, amounts receivable from TD Ameritrade were 

$54 million (October 31, 2012 – $129 million). As at October 31, 2013, 
amounts payable to TD Ameritrade were $103 million (October 31, 
2012 –  $87  million).

TRANSACTIONS WITH SYMCOR
The Bank has a one-third ownership in Symcor Inc. (Symcor), a Canadian 
provider of business process outsourcing services offering a diverse 
portfolio of integrated solutions in item processing, statement process-
ing and production, and cash management services. The Bank accounts 
for Symcor’s results using the equity method of accounting. During 
fiscal 2013, the Bank paid $128 million (2012 – $128 million; 2011 – 
$139 million) for these services. As at October 31, 2013, the amount 
payable to Symcor was $10 million (October 31, 2012 – $10 million).
The Bank and two other shareholder banks have also provided a 
$100 million unsecured loan facility to Symcor which was undrawn 
as at October 31, 2013 and October 31, 2012.

As a financial institution, the Bank’s assets and liabilities are substantially 
composed of financial instruments. Financial assets of the Bank include, 
but are not limited to, cash, interest-bearing deposits, securities, loans 
and derivative instruments, while financial liabilities include, but are not 
limited to, deposits, obligations related to securities sold short, securiti-
zation liabilities, obligations related to securities sold under repurchase 
agreements, derivative instruments and subordinated debt.

The Bank uses financial instruments for both trading and non-trad-

ing activities. The Bank typically engages in trading activities by the 
purchase and sale of securities to provide liquidity and meet the needs 
of clients and, less frequently, by taking trading positions with the 
objective of earning a profit. Trading financial instruments include, 
but are not limited to, trading securities, trading deposits, and trading 
derivatives. Non-trading financial instruments include the majority of 
the Bank’s lending portfolio, non-trading securities, hedging deriva-
tives and financial liabilities. In accordance with accounting standards 
related to financial instruments, financial assets or liabilities classified 

as trading, loans and securities designated at fair value through profit 
or loss, securities classified as available-for-sale and all derivatives are 
measured at fair value in the Bank’s Consolidated Financial Statements, 
with the exception of certain available-for-sale securities recorded at 
cost. Financial instruments classified as held-to-maturity, loans and 
receivables, and other liabilities are carried at amortized cost using the 
effective interest rate method. For details on how fair values of finan-
cial instruments are determined, refer to the “Critical Accounting 
Estimates” – Determination of Fair Value section of this MD&A. The 
use of financial instruments allows the Bank to earn profits in trading, 
interest and fee income. Financial instruments also create a variety of 
risks which the Bank manages with its extensive risk management poli-
cies and procedures. The key risks include interest rate, credit, liquidity, 
market, and foreign exchange risks. For a more detailed description on 
how the Bank manages its risk, refer to the “Managing Risk” section 
of this MD&A.

RISK FACTORS AND MANAGEMENT

Risk Factors That May Affect Future Results

In addition to the risks described in the Managing Risk section, there 
are numerous other risk factors, many of which are beyond the Bank’s 
control and the effects of which can be difficult to predict, that could 
cause  our  results  to  differ  significantly  from  our  plans,  objectives   
and  estimates. All forward-looking statements, including those in this 
MD&A, are, by their very nature, subject to inherent risks and uncer-
tainties, general and specific, which may cause the Bank’s actual 
results to differ materially from the expectations expressed in the 
forward-looking statements. Some of these factors are discussed 
below and others are noted in the “Caution Regarding Forward-
Looking Statements” section of this MD&A.

TOP AND EMERGING RISKS THAT MAY AFFECT THE BANK 
AND FUTURE RESULTS
TD considers it critical to regularly assess its operating environment 
and highlight top and emerging risks. These are risks with a potential 
to have a material effect on the Bank and where the attention of 
senior leaders is focused due to the potential magnitude or immediacy 
of their impact. Many of the risks are beyond the Bank’s control and 
their effects, which can be difficult to predict, could cause our results 
to differ significantly from our plans, objectives and estimates or could 
impact the Bank’s reputation or sustainability of its business model.

Risks are identified, discussed, and actioned by senior risk leaders and 
reported quarterly to the Risk Committee of the Board. Specific plans 
to mitigate top and emerging risks are prepared, monitored and 
adjusted as required.

General Business and Economic Conditions
The Bank, and customers of the Bank operate in Canada, the U.S., and 
other countries. As a result, the Bank’s earnings are significantly affected 
by the general business and economic conditions in these regions. These 
conditions include short-term and long-term interest rates, inflation, fluc-
tuations in the debt and capital markets, real estate prices, employment 
levels, consumer spending and debt levels, business investment, govern-
ment spending, exchange rates, sovereign debt risks, the strength of the 
economy, threats of terrorism, civil unrest, the effects of public health 
emergencies, the effects of disruptions to public infrastructure, natural 
disasters and the level of business conducted in a specific region. For 
example, in an economic downturn, corporate earnings, business invest-
ment and consumer spending, the demand for the Bank’s loan and other 
products could be adversely affected and the provision for credit losses 
could result in lower earnings. By conducting regular stress tests on its 
portfolios, the Bank is better able to understand the likely impact of 
many of these negative scenarios and better manage the risks.

Technology and Information Security Risk
Technology and information security risks for large financial institu-
tions like the Bank have increased in recent years. This is due, in part, 
to the proliferation, sophistication and constant evolution of new 
technologies and attack methodologies used by socio-political, nation 
state, organized criminals, hackers and other external parties. The 
increased risks are also a factor of our size and scale of operations, 
our geographic footprint and our use of innovative technologies such 
as our continued development of mobile and internet banking. Our 
technologies, systems and networks, and those of our customers and 
the third parties providing services to us, may be subject to attacks, 
breaches or other compromises. These may include cyber attacks, 
computer viruses, malicious software, phishing attacks or information 

security breaches. Such incidents could result in, among other things, 
financial loss, a loss of customer or business opportunities, disruption 
to operations, misappropriation or unauthorized release of confidential 
or personal information, litigation, regulatory penalties or intervention, 
remediation or restoration cost, and reputational damage. The Bank 
actively monitors, manages and continues to enhance the ability to 
mitigate these technology and information security risks through 
enterprise-wide programs, industry best practices, and robust threat 
and vulnerability assessments and responses.

Evolution of Fraud
The Bank is routinely exposed to various types of fraud. The sophisti-
cation, complexity and materiality of these crimes is evolving quickly. 
In deciding whether to extend credit or enter into other transactions 
with customers or counterparties, the Bank may rely on information 
furnished by or on behalf of such other parties including financial 
statements and financial information. The Bank may also rely on the 
representations of customers and counterparties as to the accuracy 
and completeness of such information. In addition to the risk of mate-
rial loss that could result in the event of a financial crime, client and 
market confidence in the Bank could be potentially impacted. TD has 
invested in a coordinated approach to strengthen the Bank’s fraud 
defenses and build upon existing practices in Canada and the U.S. 
The Bank continues to introduce new capabilities and defenses that 
will help achieve an enhanced position to combat more complex 
fraud against the Bank.

Business Infrastructure and Third Party Service Providers
Third parties provide key services and components for the Bank’s busi-
ness infrastructure and operations. These include data communica-
tions, network access, payment processing, and financial instrument 
settlements. Given the high volume of transactions the Bank processes 
on a daily basis, it is reliant on such third party provided services as 
well as its own information technology systems to successfully deliver 
its products and services. The Bank’s information technology, internet, 
network  access  or  other  systems  and  services  could  be  subject  to 
failures or disruptions as a result of natural disasters or phenomena, 
power or telecommunications disruptions, acts of terrorism or war, 
physical or electronic break-ins, or similar events or disruptions. In 
addition, each of the institutions providing these services or infrastruc-
ture components may be exposed to certain risks which could also 
result in the failures or disruptions described above, and in turn 
adversely affect the Bank’s operations. Such failure of or disruption 
to one  of  TD’s  major  service  providers  could  result  in  temporary 
operational and liquidity concerns. They could also adversely affect the 
Bank’s ability to deliver products and services to customers, damage 
the Bank’s reputation, and otherwise adversely affect the Bank’s ability 
to  conduct business.  The  Bank  has policies and procedures in place 
governing third party  relationships,  including the systematic review 
of significant third  parties  at the inception of a  relationship as well 
as subsequent periodic assessments. The Bank also manages service 
provider and infrastructure disruptions risks through a robust business 
continuity management (BCM) plan, its technology risk management 
program and other contingency and resiliency plans.

TD BANK GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2013 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSISIntroduction of New and Changes to Current Laws  
and Regulations
The introduction of new, and changes to current laws and regula-
tions, as well as the fiscal, economic and monetary policies of various 
regulatory agencies in Canada and the U.S. and other countries inter-
nationally, and changes in their interpretation or implementation, 
could adversely affect the Bank’s operations and profitability. Such 
adverse effects may result from new or modified laws, regulations 
or policies, and heightened expectations, limiting the products or 
services  the  Bank  can  provide,  impacting  pricing  or  delivery  and 
increasing the ability of competitors to compete with its products and 
services (including, in jurisdictions outside Canada, the favouring of 
certain domestic institutions). In particular, the most recent financial 
crisis resulted in, and could further result in, unprecedented and 
considerable change to laws and regulations applicable to financial 
institutions and the financial industry. The Bank’s failure to comply 
with applicable laws and regulations could result in sanctions and 
financial penalties that could adversely impact its earnings and its 
operations and damage its reputation.

Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act
The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the 
Dodd-Frank Act), was signed into law on July 21, 2010. It is a United 
States federal law which creates significant structural reforms to the 
financial services industry. The Dodd-Frank Act ultimately affects every 
financial institution operating in the U.S., including the Bank, and due 
to certain extraterritorial aspects of the Dodd-Frank Act, impacts the 
Bank’s operations outside the U.S., including in Canada. The Dodd-
Frank Act mandates statutory changes and instructs U.S. federal bank-
ing and other regulatory agencies to conduct rule-making. Pursuant to 
certain currently proposed rules, including the Volcker Rule, certain of 
the Bank’s businesses could be negatively affected when the rules are 
finalized. These effects under the Volcker Rule could include increased 
costs associated with operational and market compliance and reduced 
revenues. Other effects of the Volcker Rule may include loss of exemp-
tions for foreign registered funds and reduced competitive advantage 
vis-a-vis non-bank affiliated funds which would not be subject to simi-
lar rules under the Dodd-Frank Act.

The Durbin Amendment contained in the Dodd-Frank Act authorizes 
the Federal Reserve Board to issue regulations that set interchange fees 
which are “reasonable and proportional” to the costs of processing 
such transactions. In June 2011, the FRB issued final rules limiting 
debit card interchange fees with a required implementation date of 
October 1, 2011 and capped the fee at US21 cents per transaction 
plus small amounts to cover fraud related expenses. On July 31, 2013, 
the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia ruled, among other 
things, that the approach used by the FRB in setting the maximum 
allowable interchange fee impermissibly included costs that were 
specifically excluded by the Durbin Amendment. The decision has since 
been stayed pending the outcome of its appeal and the current provi-
sions of the Durbin Amendment remain in place. Oral arguments have 
been scheduled to be heard by the court in January 2014.

Where possible, the Bank has developed conformance plans, but 
due to the size, scope, complexity of implementation and the lack of 
regulatory certainty in a number of key sections of the Dodd-Frank 
Act, the overall impact to the Bank and its businesses, including to 
their financial performance and operations, currently remains unclear 
and will not be known until the implementing regulations are fully 
released and finalized. The Bank continues to closely monitor and 
analyze the potential impact associated with the Dodd-Frank Act.

FATCA
The Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) is U.S. tax legisla-
tion which requires all non-US financial institutions to identify US 
taxpayer-owned accounts and report information about those clients 
to the Internal Revenue Service. Virtually all TD businesses and their 
customers will be impacted from an operational perspective. Changes 
to policies and procedures may be required which may impact how we 
conduct business in certain segments and negatively impact our cost of 
doing business. The government of Canada is currently negotiating an 
intergovernmental agreement (IGA) with the government of the United 
States respecting the implementation of FATCA in Canada. Due to the 
current uncertainty regarding this agreement and the ultimate timing 
and form of FATCA implementation, the overall impact to the Bank 
remains unclear. The Bank has project teams in place and is in the 
process of implementing compliance plans based on the U.S. FATCA 
regulations published in 2013 as well as existing expectations of the 
content of a U.S.-Canada IGA.

Basel III
The Basel III Liquidity standards require banks to meet the Liquidity 
Coverage Ratio (LCR) starting in January 2015 and the Net Stable 
Funding Ratio (NSFR) starting in January 2018. The Bank has been 
managing its liquidity risk under a prudent framework and expects 
to make modest adjustments in order to be compliant with the LCR 
requirements in 2015. Additional costs may be incurred to achieve 
compliance with the liquidity reforms, which has the potential to affect 
the Bank’s funding costs. The Bank continues to monitor the develop-
ment of liquidity requirements from the national regulators globally 
and ensures that its liquidity management and monitoring practices 
evolve with the changing regulatory landscape. In addition, the Basel III 
Leverage Ratio is a non-risk based ratio that acts as a supplementary 
measure to the risk-based capital requirements, with the objective of 
constraining the build-up of excess leverage in the banking sector. The 
Leverage Ratio requirement is effective January 2018, with the public 
disclosure beginning January 2015. Any final adjustments to the defini-
tion and calibration of the ratio requirement will be completed by 
2017. The Bank continues to monitor and manage its capital and asset 
levels to ensure compliance.

Principles for Effective Risk Data Aggregation
In January 2013, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) 
finalized their ‘Principles for Effective Risk Data Aggregation and 
Reporting’.  The  principles  provide  guidelines  for  areas  such  as: 
governance of risk data, architecture and infrastructure, accuracy, 
completeness, timeliness, and adaptability of reporting. As a result, 
the bank faces increased complexity with respect to operational 
compliance and may incur increased compliance and operating costs. 
The Bank has assessed itself against each of the principles at enterprise 
and risk specific levels. Programs are in place to manage the enhance-
ment of Risk Data Aggregation.

Legal Proceedings
The Bank or its subsidiaries are from time to time named as defendants 
or are otherwise involved in various class actions and other litigations 
or disputes with third parties, including regulatory enforcement 
proceedings, related to its businesses and operations. The Bank 
manages and mitigates the risks associated with these proceedings 
through a robust litigation management function. The Bank’s material 
litigation and regulatory enforcement proceedings are disclosed in its 
Consolidated Financial Statements. There is no assurance that the 
volume of claims and the amount of damages and penalties claimed 
in litigation, arbitration and regulatory proceedings will not increase 
in the future. Actions currently pending against the Bank may result 
in judgments, settlements, fines, penalties, disgorgements, injunctions, 
business improvement orders or other results adverse to the Bank, 
which could materially adversely affect the Bank’s business, financial

TD BANK GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2013 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIScondition, results of operations, cash flows and capital; require mate-
rial changes in the Bank’s operations; or cause serious reputational 
harm to the Bank. Moreover, some claims asserted against the Bank 
may be highly complex, and include novel or untested legal theories. 
The outcome of such proceedings may be difficult to predict or esti-
mate until late in the proceedings, which may last several years. In 
addition, settlement or other resolution of certain types of matters 
are subject to external approval, which may or may not be granted. 
Although the Bank establishes accruals for these matters according 
to accounting requirements, the amount of loss ultimately incurred 
in relation to those matters may substantially differ from the amounts 
accrued. As a participant in the financial services industry, the Bank 
will likely continue to experience the possibility of significant litigation 
and regulatory enforcement proceedings related to its businesses 
and operations. For additional information relating to the Bank’s 
material legal proceedings see Note 29 to the Consolidated 
Financial Statements.

OTHER RISK FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS
Adequacy of the Bank’s Risk Management Framework
The Bank’s risk management framework is made up of various 
processes and strategies for managing risk exposure and includes an 
Enterprise Risk Appetite Framework. Types of risk to which the Bank 
is subject include credit, market (including equity, commodity, foreign 
exchange, and interest rate), liquidity, operational (including technol-
ogy), reputational, insurance, strategic, legal and regulatory compli-
ance, and capital adequacy risks. While there can be no assurance 
that the Bank’s framework to manage risk, including such framework’s 
underlying  assumptions  and  models,  will  be  effective  under  all 
conditions and circumstances, the Bank has established governance 
processes for the Senior Executive Team (SET) and the Risk Committee 
of the Board to review and update the framework annually.

Acquisitions and Strategic Plans
The Bank regularly explores opportunities to acquire other companies, 
or parts of their businesses directly or indirectly through the acquisition 
strategies of its subsidiaries. There is no assurance that the Bank will 
achieve its financial or strategic objectives, including anticipated cost 
savings, or revenue synergies following acquisitions and integration 
efforts. The Bank’s, or a subsidiary’s, ability to successfully complete 
an acquisition is often subject to regulatory and other approvals, and 
the Bank cannot be certain when or if, or on what terms and condi-
tions, any required approvals will be granted. The Bank’s financial 
performance is also influenced by its ability to execute strategic plans 
developed by management. If these strategic plans do not meet with 
success or there is a change in strategic plans, there would be an 
impact on the Bank’s financial performance and the Bank’s earnings 
could grow more slowly or decline. The Bank undertakes thorough 
due diligence before completing an acquisition and closely monitors 
integration activities and performance post acquisition.

Ability to Attract, Develop and Retain Key Executives
The Bank’s future performance depends to a large extent on the avail-
ability of qualified people and the Bank’s ability to attract, develop and 
retain key executives. There is intense competition for the best people 
in the financial services sector. Although it is the goal of the Bank’s 
management resource policies and practices to attract, develop, and 
retain key executives employed by the Bank or an entity acquired by 
the Bank, there is no assurance that the Bank will be able to do so. 
The Bank  undergoes an annual human resource planning process 
that facilitates the assessment of internal leadership capabilities and 
potential talent needs. The Bank actively invests in the development 
of employees in order to better meet future talent requirements.

Changes to Our Credit Ratings
There can be no assurance that the Bank’s credit ratings and rating 
outlooks from rating agencies such as Moody’s Investors Service, S&P, 
or DBRS will not be lowered or that these ratings agencies will not 
issue adverse commentaries about the Bank. Such changes could 
potentially result in higher financing costs and reduce access to capital 
markets. A lowering of credit ratings may also affect the Bank’s ability 
to enter into normal course derivative or hedging transactions and 
impact the costs associated with such transactions. The Bank maintains 
regular contact with each of the listed rating agencies.

Currency and Interest Rates
Currency and interest rate movements in Canada, the U.S., and other 
jurisdictions in which the Bank does business impact the Bank’s finan-
cial position (as a result of foreign currency translation adjustments) 
and its future earnings. For example, if the value of the Canadian 
dollar rises against the U.S. dollar, the Bank’s investments and earnings 
in the U.S. may be negatively affected, and vice versa. Changes in the 
value of the Canadian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar may also affect 
the earnings of the Bank’s small business, commercial, and corporate 
clients  in  Canada.  A  change  in  the  level  of  interest  rates,  or  a 
prolonged low interest rate environment, affects the interest spread 
between the Bank’s deposits and loans and as a result impacts the 
Bank’s net interest income. The Bank manages non-trading currency 
and interest rate risk exposures in accordance with policies established 
by  the  Risk  Committee  of  the  Board  through  its  Asset  Liability 
Management framework, which is further discussed in the Managing 
Risk section of this document.

Accounting Policies and Methods Used by the Bank
The accounting policies and methods the Bank utilizes determine how 
the Bank reports its financial condition and results of operations, and 
they may require management to make estimates or rely on assump-
tions about matters that are inherently uncertain. Such estimates and 
assumptions may require revisions, and these changes may materially 
adversely affect the Bank’s results of operations and financial condi-
tion. Significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 to our 
Consolidated Financial Statements. The Bank monitors accounting 
developments; it also identifies and implements new accounting stan-
dards, interpretations and guidance issued by accounting standard 
setters and regulatory bodies, as appropriate.

Level of Competition
The Bank currently operates in a highly competitive industry and 
its performance is impacted by the level of competition. Customer 
retention and attraction of new customers can be influenced by 
many factors, such as the factors, pricing and distribution of prod-
ucts or services. Deterioration in these factors or a loss of market 
share could adversely affect the Bank’s earnings. The Bank operates 
in a global environment and laws and regulations that apply to 
it may not universally apply to competitors in various jurisdictions 
creating an uneven playing field that may favour certain domestic 
institutions. In addition, other types of financial institutions, such 
as insurance companies, as well as non-financial institutions are 
increasingly offering products and services traditionally offered by 
banks and through other distribution methods including internet 
and  mobile  banking.  This  type  of  competition  could  adversely 
impact  the  Bank’s  earnings  by  reducing  fee  revenue  and  net   
interest  income. Each of the business segments of the Bank monitors 
the competitive environment including reviewing and amending 
customer acquisition and management strategies as appropriate. 
The  Bank  has  been  investing  in  enhanced  capabilities  for  our 
customers to transact across all of our channels seamlessly, with 
a particular emphasis on mobile banking capabilities for anytime, 
anywhere convenience.

TD BANK GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2013 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSISRISK FACTORS AND MANAGEMENT

Managing Risk

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Growing profitability in financial services involves selectively taking and 
managing risks within TD’s risk appetite. Our goal is to earn a stable 
and sustainable rate of return for every dollar of risk we take, while 
putting significant emphasis on investing in our businesses to ensure 
we can meet our future growth objectives.

TD’s Enterprise Risk Framework (ERF) reinforces TD’s risk culture, 
which emphasizes transparency and accountability, and provides stake-
holders with a common understanding of how we manage risk. The 
ERF addresses: 1) the nature of the risks to TD’s business strategy and 
operations, 2) how TD defines the types of risk it is exposed to, 3) risk 
management governance and organization, and 4) how TD manages 
risk through processes that identify, measure, assess, control and 

monitor  risk.  TD’s  risk  management  resources  and  processes  are 
designed to both challenge and enable all our businesses to understand 
the risks they face and to manage them within TD’s risk appetite.

RISKS INVOLVED IN OUR BUSINESSES
TD’s Risk Inventory  describes  the  major risk  categories and related 
subcategories to which our businesses and operations could be exposed. 
The Risk Inventory facilitates consistent risk identification and is the 
starting point in developing risk management strategies and processes. 
TD’s major risk categories are: Strategic Risk, Credit Risk, Market Risk, 
Operational Risk, Insurance Risk, Liquidity Risk, Capital Adequacy Risk, 
Legal and Regulatory Compliance Risk and Reputational Risk.

RISK APPETITE
TD’s Risk Appetite Statement is the primary means used to communi-
cate how TD defines risk and determines the risks it is willing to take. 
TD takes into account its governing objectives, as well as TD’s risk 
philosophy and capacity to bear risk in defining its risk appetite. 
TD’s Risk Appetite Statement is summarized as follows:

We take risks required to build our business, but only if those risks:
1.  Fit our business strategy, and can be understood and managed.
2.  Do not expose the enterprise to any significant single loss events; 

we don’t ‘bet the Bank’ on any single acquisition, business, or product.

3. Do not risk harming the TD brand.

In applying its risk appetite, TD considers both current conditions in 
which it operates and the impact that emerging risks will have on 
TD’s strategy and risk profile. Adherence to enterprise risk appetite is 
managed and monitored across TD and is based on a broad collection 
of principles, policies, processes and tools, including risk appetite 
statements  and  related  metrics  for  major  risk  categories  and  the 
business segments.

Risk Management is responsible for establishing practices and 

processes to formulate, report, monitor, and review the application of 
TD’s risk appetite and related metrics. The function also monitors and 
evaluates the effectiveness of these practices and metrics. Key metrics 
are reported regularly to senior management, the Board and the Risk 
Committee of the Board (Risk Committee). Other metrics are tracked 
on an ongoing basis by management, and escalated to senior manage-
ment and at the Board level, as required. TD measures management’s 
performance against its risk appetite metrics; which is a key input into 
the compensation decision process.

RISK CULTURE
TD’s risk culture is consistent with the Bank’s Risk Appetite Statement, 
which embodies the tone at the top set by the Chief Executive Officer 
(CEO) and Senior Executive Team and informs our mission, vision, 
guiding principles and leadership profile. These governing objectives 
describe the behaviours that TD seeks to foster in building a risk 
culture where the only risks taken are those that can be understood 
and managed. The Risk Appetite Statement helps us to be informed 
risk takers and guides our decision making, allowing us to take appro-
priate risks. TD’s risk culture encourages open communication and 
transparency on all aspects of the Risk Appetite Statement. Our 
employees are empowered to challenge and escalate when they 
believe we are operating outside of our risk appetite.

Risk culture is at the centre of the Bank’s ERF, as its implementation 

is integral to establishing a risk and control environment that fosters 
risk behavior aligned with TD’s risk appetite. The ERF provides a common 
understanding of how TD manages risk by addressing four components 
relating to  1)  defining  risk;  2)  risk  appetite, 3) risk governance, and 
4)  risk management processes. All of these components are integral 
to successful risk management.

TD’s desired risk culture is reinforced by linking compensation to 
management’s performance against the Bank’s risk appetite. In addition, 
Risk  Management’s  independence  from  the  line  of  business  provides 
objective oversight and challenge to promote and support the desired 
behaviours that drive TD’s strong risk culture. Lastly, education and 
communication on TD’s Risk Appetite Statement and the ERF take 
place across the organization through enterprise risk communication 
programs,  employee  orientation  and  training,  and  participation 
in internal risk management conferences. These activities further 
strengthen the risk culture by increasing awareness and knowledge 
of TD’s expectations for risk taking.

70

TD BANK GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2013 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSISWHO MANAGES RISK
Our risk governance structure emphasizes and balances strong central 
oversight and control of risk with clear accountability for, and owner-
ship of, risk within each business unit. Under TD’s approach to risk 
governance, the line of business owns the risk that it generates and is 
responsible for assessing the risk, as well as designing and implement-
ing mitigating controls. The line of business also monitors and reports 
on the ongoing effectiveness of its controls to safeguard TD from 
exceeding its risk appetite.

TD’s  risk  governance  model  includes  a  senior  management 
committee structure designed to support transparent risk reporting 
and discussion with overall risk and control oversight provided by the 
Board and its committees (primarily the Audit and Risk Committees). 

The CEO and SET determine TD’s long-term direction within the Bank’s 
risk appetite and apply it to the businesses. Risk Management, headed 
by the Group Head and Chief Risk Officer (CRO), sets enterprise risk 
strategy and policy and provides independent oversight to support a 
comprehensive and proactive risk management approach for TD. The 
CRO, who is also a member of the SET, has direct access to the Risk 
Committee.  TD  also employs  a  “three lines of defence” model to 
describe the role  of  business  segments  (first line), governance, risk   
and  oversight  functions,  such  as  Risk  Management,  Anti-Money 
Laundering (AML) and Compliance functions (second line), and Internal 
Audit (third line) in managing risk across TD. The following section 
provides an overview of the key roles and responsibilities involved 
in risk management and are depicted in the diagram below.

The Board
The Board oversees TD’s strategic direction and the implementation of 
an effective risk management culture and internal control framework 
across the enterprise. It accomplishes its risk management mandate both 
directly and through its committees, including the Risk Committee of the 
Board and the Audit Committee. On an annual basis, the Board reviews 
and approves TD’s Risk Appetite Statement and related metrics to ensure 
ongoing relevance and alignment with TD’s strategy.

The Risk Committee
The Risk Committee is responsible for reviewing and challenging TD’s 
Risk Appetite Statement prior to recommending for approval by the 
Board annually. The Risk Committee oversees the management of TD’s 
risk profile and performance against its risk appetite. In support of this 
oversight, the Committee reviews, challenges, and approves enterprise 
risk  management  policies  that  support  compliance  with  TD’s  risk 
appetite, and monitors the management of risks and risk trends.

The Audit Committee
The Audit Committee, in addition to overseeing financial reporting, 
assesses the adequacy and effectiveness of internal controls, including 
controls over relevant enterprise risk management processes and the 
activities of the Bank’s Global AML and Compliance groups.

Chief Executive Officer and Senior Executive Team
The CEO and the SET develop TD’s long-term strategic plan and direction 
and also develop and recommend for Board approval TD’s risk appetite. 
The SET manage enterprise risk in accordance with TD’s risk appetite and 
consider the impact of emerging risks on TD’s strategy and risk profile. 
This accountability includes identifying and reporting significant risks to 
the Risk Committee.

71

TD BANK GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2013 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSISExecutive Committees
The CEO, in consultation with the CRO, designates TD’s Executive 
Committees, which are chaired by SET members. The committees meet 
regularly to oversee governance, risk, and oversight activities and to 
review and monitor risk strategies and related risk activities and practices.
The ERMC, chaired by the CEO, oversees the management of major 

enterprise governance, risk and control activities at TD and promotes 
an integrated and effective risk culture. The following Executive 
Committees have been established to manage specific major risks 
based on the nature of the risk and related business activity:
•   ALCO – chaired by the Group Head, Insurance, Credit Cards, and 
Enterprise Strategy, oversees directly and through its standing 
subcommittees the Risk Capital Committee, Global Liquidity Forum 
and Enterprise Investment Committee, the management of TD’s 
non-trading market risk and each of its consolidated liquidity, 
funding, investments, and capital positions.

•   OROC – chaired by the CRO, oversees the strategic assessment 

of TD’s governance, control and operational risk structure.
•   Disclosure Committee – chaired by the Group Head, Finance, 

Sourcing, Corporate Communications and Chief Financial Officer, 
ensures that appropriate controls and procedures are in place and 
operating to permit timely, accurate, balanced and compliant 
disclosure to regulators, shareholders and the market.

•   RRC – chaired by the CRO, oversees that corporate or business 

initiatives with significant reputational risk profiles have received 
adequate review for reputational risk implications prior to imple-
mentation  as  well  as  matters  escalated  to  the  RRC  under  the 
enterprise Reputational Risk policy.

Risk Management
The Risk Management function, headed by the CRO, provides indepen-
dent oversight of enterprise risk management, risk governance and 
control, and is responsible for establishing risk management strategy, 
policies and practices. Risk Management’s primary objective is to 
support a comprehensive and proactive approach to risk management 
that promotes a strong risk management culture. Risk Management 
works with the business segments and other corporate oversight 
groups to establish policies, standards, and limits that align with TD’s 
risk appetite, and monitors and reports on existing and emerging risks 
and compliance with TD’s risk appetite. There is an established frame-
work in place for the identification and assessment of top and emerg-
ing risks and there are clear procedures for when and how risk events 
and issues are brought to the attention of senior management and the 
Risk Committee.

Business Segments
Each business segment has a dedicated risk management function that 
reports directly to a senior risk executive who in turn reports to the CRO. 
This structure supports an appropriate level of central oversight while 
emphasizing ownership and accountability for risk within the business 
segment. Business management is responsible for recommending the 
business-level risk appetite and metrics, which are reviewed and chal-
lenged as necessary by Risk Management and endorsed by the ERMC 
and approved by the CEO, to align with TD’s risk appetite and manage 
risk within approved risk limits as set out in TD policies.

Internal Audit
TD’s internal audit function provides independent assurance to the 
Board of the effectiveness of risk management, control and governance 
processes employed to ensure compliance with TD’s risk appetite. 
Internal Audit reports on its evaluation to management and the Board.

Compliance
The mandate of TD’s Compliance Department is to manage compliance 
risk across TD to align with the policies established and approved by 
the Audit and Risk Committees. The Compliance Department is respon-
sible for establishing risk-based programs and standards to proactively 
manage known and emerging compliance risk across TD by providing 
independent oversight and delivering operational control processes to 
comply with the applicable legislation and regulatory requirements.

Anti-Money Laundering
The Global AML group establishes a risk-based program and standards 
to proactively manage known and emerging AML compliance risk 
across the Bank. The AML group provides independent oversight and 
delivers operational control processes to comply with the applicable 
legislation and regulatory requirements. The line of business owns 
AML Risk and is responsible for assessing the risk, as well as designing 
and implementing mitigating controls.

Treasury and Balance Sheet Management
The Treasury and Balance Sheet Management (TBSM) group manages, 
directs and reports on TD’s capital and investment positions, interest 
rate risk, and liquidity and funding risk and the market risks of TD’s 
non-trading bank activities. The Risk Management function oversees 
TBSM’s capital and investment activities.

Three Lines of Defence
In  order  to  further  the  understanding  of  responsibilities  for  risk 
management,  TD  employs  a  “three  lines  of  defence”  model  that 
describes  the  role  of  the  businesses,  governance,  risk  and  oversight 
groups, and Internal Audit in managing risk across TD. The chart below 
describes the respective accountabilities of each line of defence at TD.

THREE LINES OF DEFENCE

First Line

Identify and Control

Business Segment Accountabilities

•   Manages and identifies risk in day-to-day activities owned by the line of business.
•   Ensures activities are within TD’s risk appetite and risk management policies.
•   Designs, implements and maintains effective internal controls within the line of business.
•   Implements risk based approval processes for all new products, activities, processes and systems.
•   Delivers training, tools and advice to support its accountabilities.
•   Monitors and reports on risk profile.

Second Line

Governance, Risk & Oversight Functions Accountabilities

Set Standards and Challenge

•   Establishes enterprise governance, risk and control strategies and practices.
•   Provides oversight and independent challenge to the first line through review, inquiry and discussion.
•   Develops and communicates governance, risk and control policies.
•   Provides training, tools and advice to support the first line of defence in carrying out its accountabilities.
•   Monitors and reports on compliance with risk appetite and policies.

Third Line

Internal Audit Accountabilities

Independent Assurance

•   Verifies independently that TD’s ERF is operating effectively.
•   Validates the effectiveness of the first and second lines of defence in fulfilling their mandates 

and managing risk.

72

TD BANK GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2013 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSISIn support of a strong risk culture, TD applies the following principles 
to how it manages risks:
•   Enterprise-wide in Scope – Risk Management will span all areas 

of TD, including third-party alliances and joint venture undertakings, 
and all boundaries, both geographic and regulatory.

•   Transparent and Effective Communication – Matters relating 
to risk will be communicated and escalated in a timely, accurate, 
and forthright manner.

•   Enhanced Accountability – Risks will be explicitly owned,   
understood, and actively managed by business management  
and all employees, individually and collectively.

•   Independent Oversight – Risk policies, monitoring, and reporting 

will be established independently and objectively.

•   Integrated Risk and Control Culture – Risk management disci-

plines will be integrated into TD’s daily routines, decision-making, 
and strategy.

•   Strategic Balance – Risk will be managed to an acceptable level of 
exposure, recognizing the need to protect and grow shareholder value.

APPROACH TO RISK MANAGEMENT PROCESSES
TD’s approach to the risk management process is comprised of four 
basic components: identification and assessment, measurement, 
control, and monitoring and reporting.

Risk Identification and Assessment
Risk identification and assessment is focused on recognizing and 
understanding existing risks, risks that may arise from new or evolving 
business initiatives and emerging risks from the changing environment. 
TD’s objective is to establish and maintain integrated risk identification 
and  assessment  processes  that  enhance  the  understanding  of  risk 
interdependencies, consider how risk types intersect, and support 
the identification of emerging risk. To that end, TD’s Enterprise-Wide 
Stress Testing (EWST) program enables senior management, the Board, 
and its committees, to identify and assess enterprise-wide risks and 
understand potential vulnerabilities for the Bank.

Risk Measurement
The ability to quantify risks is a key component of TD’s risk manage-
ment process. TD’s risk measurement process aligns with regulatory 
requirements such as capital adequacy, leverage ratios, liquidity 
measures, stress testing and maximum credit exposure guidelines 
established by its regulators. Additionally, TD has a process in place 
to quantify risks to provide accurate and timely measurements of the 
risks it assumes.

In quantifying risk, TD uses various risk measurement methodologies, 
including Value-at-Risk (VaR) analysis, scenario analysis, stress testing, and 
limits. Other examples of risk measurements include credit exposures, 
provision for credit losses, peer comparisons, trending analysis, liquidity 
coverage, and capital adequacy metrics. TD also requires significant 
business segments and corporate oversight functions to assess their own 
key risks and internal controls annually through a structured strategic Risk 
and Control Self-Assessment (RCSA) program and an ongoing process 
RCSA program. Internal and external risk events are monitored to assess 
whether TD’s internal controls are effective. This allows TD to identify, 
escalate, and monitor significant risk issues as needed.

Risk Control
TD’s risk control processes are established and communicated through 
Risk Committee and Management approved policies, and associated 
management approved procedures, control limits and delegated 
authorities which reflect TD’s risk appetite and risk tolerances.

TD’s approach to risk control also includes risk and capital assess-

ments to appropriately capture key risks in TD’s measurement and 
management of capital adequacy. This involves the review, challenge, 
and endorsement by senior management committees of the Internal 
Capital Adequacy Assessment Process (ICAAP) and related economic 
capital  practices.  At  TD,  performance  is  measured  based  on  the 
allocation of risk-based capital to businesses and the cost charged 
against that capital.

Risk Monitoring and Reporting
TD monitors and reports on risk levels on a regular basis against 
TD’s risk appetite and reports on risk monitoring activities to senior 
management, the Board and its Committees, and appropriate execu-
tive and management committees. The ERMC, the Risk Committee, 
and the Board also receive annual and periodic reporting on enter-
prise-wide  stress  testing  and  an  annual  update  on  TD’s  ICAAP. 
Complementing regular risk monitoring and reporting, ad hoc risk 
reporting is provided to senior management, the Risk Committee, and 
the Board as appropriate for new and emerging risk or any significant 
changes to the Bank’s risk profile.

Enterprise-Wide Stress Testing
Enterprise-wide stress testing at TD is part of the long-term strategic, 
financial, and capital planning exercise that helps validate the risk appe-
tite. TD’s EWST program involves the development, application, and 
assessment of severe but plausible stress scenarios on earnings, capital, 
and liquidity. It enables management to identify and articulate enter-
prise-wide risks and understand potential vulnerabilities that are relevant 
to TD’s risk profile. Stress testing engages senior management in each 
business segment, Finance, TBSM, Economics, and Risk Management.

As part of its 2013 program, TD evaluated two internally generated 

macroeconomic stress scenarios covering a range of severities and 
duration (details described below). The scenarios were constructed to 
cover a wide variety of risk factors meaningful to TD’s risk profile and 
covering both the North American and global economies. Stressed 
macroeconomic variables such as unemployment, GDP, resale home 
prices, and interest rates were forecasted over the stress horizon which 
drives the assessment of impacts. In both scenarios evaluated in the 
2013 program, TD’s businesses performed within acceptable levels and 
the Bank remained adequately capitalized with management actions. 
Results of the scenarios are reviewed by senior executives, incorpo-
rated in TD’s planning process and presented to the Risk Committee 
and the Board.

Separate from the EWST program, the Bank also employs reverse 
stress testing as part of a comprehensive Crisis Management Recovery 
Planning program to assess potential mitigating actions and contingency 
planning strategies. The scenario contemplates significantly stressful 
events that would result in the Bank reaching the point of non-viability 
in order to consider meaningful remedial actions for replenishing the 
Bank’s capital and liquidity position.

ENTERPRISE-WIDE STRESS SCENARIOS

Extreme Scenario

Severe Scenario

•   The scenario emanates from a European banking crisis resulting in a 

run on deposits and implementation of capital control in select 
European countries. Wholesale funding markets around the world 
experience massive disruptions, as confidence in the banking system 
rapidly deteriorates.

•   The severe scenario is modeled from historical recessions that have 
taken place in the United States and Canada. The recessions extend 
four consecutive quarters followed by a modest recovery.

•   Deterioration in key macroeconomic variables such as home prices 
and unemployment align with historically observed recessions.

•   External shocks to the Canadian economy would be consequential for 
the household sector as home prices pull back from the current levels.

TD BANK GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2013 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSISThe following pages describe the key risks we face and how they 
are managed.

Strategic Risk
Strategic risk is the potential for financial loss or reputational damage 
arising from ineffective business strategies, improper implementation 
of  business  strategies,  or  a  lack  of  responsiveness  to  changes  in 
the  business  environment.  Business  strategies  include  merger  and 
acquisition activities.

WHO MANAGES STRATEGIC RISK
The CEO manages strategic risk supported by the members of the SET 
and the ERMC. The CEO, together with the SET, defines the overall 
strategy, in consultation with and subject to approval by the Board. 
The Enterprise Strategy group, under the leadership of the Group 
Head, Insurance, Credit Cards and Enterprise Strategy is charged with 
developing TD’s overall long-term and short-term strategy with input 
and support from senior executives across TD. In addition, each 
member of the SET is responsible for establishing and managing long-
term and short-term strategies for their business areas (organic and 
through acquisitions) and for ensuring such strategies are aligned with 
the overall enterprise strategy and risk appetite. Each SET member is 
also accountable to the CEO for monitoring, assessing, managing, 
and reporting on the effectiveness and risks of their business strategies. 
The ERMC oversees the identification and monitoring of significant 

and emerging risks related to TD’s strategies and ensures that mitigat-
ing actions are taken where appropriate. The CEO reports to the Board 
on the implementation of TD’s strategies, identifying the risks within 
those strategies and explaining how they are managed.

HOW WE MANAGE STRATEGIC RISK
The strategies and operating performance of significant business units 
and corporate functions are assessed regularly by the CEO and the rele-
vant members of the SET through an integrated financial and strategic 
planning process, management meetings, operating/financial reviews, 
and strategic business reviews. Our annual planning process considers 
individual segment long-term and short-term strategies and associated 
key initiatives and ensures alignment between segment-level and enter-
prise-level strategies and risk appetite. Once the strategy is set, regular 
strategic business reviews conducted throughout the year ensure that 
alignment is maintained in its implementation. The reviews include an 
evaluation of the strategy of each business, the overall operating environ-
ment including competitive position, performance assessment, initiatives 
for strategy execution, and key business risks. The frequency of strategic 
business reviews depends on the risk profile and size of the business or 
function. The overall state of Strategic Risk and adherence to TD’s risk 
appetite is reviewed by the ERMC in the normal course. Additionally, 
each material acquisition is assessed for its fit with our strategy and risk 
appetite in accordance with our Due Diligence Policy. This assessment is 
reviewed by the SET and Board as part of the decision process.

The shaded areas of this MD&A represent a discussion on risk manage-
ment policies and procedures relating to credit, market, and liquidity 
risks as required under IFRS 7, which permits these specific disclosures 
to be included in the MD&A. Therefore, the shaded areas which 
include Credit Risk, Market Risk, and Liquidity Risk, form an integral 
part of the audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the years 
ended October 31, 2013 and 2012.

Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk of loss if a borrower or counterparty in a transaction 
fails to meet its agreed payment obligations.

Credit risk is one of the most significant and pervasive risks in bank-

ing. Every loan, extension of credit or transaction that involves the 
transfer of payments between the Bank and other parties or financial 
institutions exposes the Bank to some degree of credit risk.

Our primary objective is to be methodical in our credit risk assessment 

so that we can better understand, select, and manage our exposures 
to reduce significant fluctuations in earnings.

Our strategy is to ensure central oversight of credit risk in each 

business,  reinforcing  a  culture  of  transparency,  accountability, 
independence, and balance.

WHO MANAGES CREDIT RISK
The  responsibility for credit risk management is enterprise-wide. 
To reinforce ownership of credit risk, credit risk control functions 
are integrated into each business but report to Risk Management 
to ensure objectivity and  accountability.

Each business segment’s credit risk control unit is primarily respon-

sible for credit decisions and must comply with established policies, 
exposure guidelines and credit approval limits, and policy/limit excep-
tion procedures. It must also adhere to established standards of credit 
assessment and obtain Risk Management’s approval for material 
credit decisions.

Risk Management provides independent oversight of credit risk by 
developing centralized policies that govern and control portfolio risks 
and product-specific policies as required.

The Risk Committee oversees the management of credit risk and 

annually approves major credit risk policies.

HOW WE MANAGE CREDIT RISK
The Bank’s Credit Risk Management Framework outlines the internal 
risk and control structure to manage credit risk and includes risk appe-
tite, policies, processes as well as limits and governance. The Credit 
Risk Management Framework is maintained by Risk Management and 
supports alignment with the Bank’s risk appetite for credit risk.

Risk Management centrally approves all credit risk policies and credit 

decisioning strategies, including policy and limit exception management 
guidelines, as well as the discretionary limits of officers throughout the 
Bank for extending lines of credit. All significant credit decisions are 
escalated to Risk Management for approval or recommendation to the 
Risk Committee of the Board.

Limits are established to monitor and control country risk, industry 
risk, product, geographic and group exposure risks in the portfolios in 
accordance with enterprise-wide policies.

In our Retail businesses, we use approved scoring techniques and 

standards in extending, monitoring and reporting personal credit. 
Credit scores and decision strategies are used in the origination and 
ongoing management of new and existing retail credit exposures. 
Scoring models and decision strategies utilize a combination of 
borrower attributes, including employment status, existing loan expo-
sure and performance, size of total bank relationship as well as exter-
nal data such as credit bureau scores, to determine the amount of 
credit we are prepared to extend retail customers and estimate future 
credit performance. Established policies and procedures are in place to 
govern the use and ongoing monitoring and assessment of the perfor-
mance of scoring models and decision strategies to ensure alignment 
with expected performance results. Retail credit exposures approved 
within the regional credit centres are subject to ongoing Retail Risk 
Management review to assess the effectiveness of credit decisions and 
risk controls as well as identify emerging or systemic issues and trends. 
Material policy exceptions are tracked and reported to monitor portfo-
lio trends and identify potential weaknesses in underwriting guidelines 
and strategies. Where unfavourable trends are identified, remedial 
actions are taken to address those weaknesses.

TD BANK GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2013 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSISOur Commercial Banking and Wholesale Banking businesses use credit 

risk models and policies to establish borrower and facility risk ratings, 
quantify and monitor the level of risk, and facilitate its management. 
The businesses also use risk ratings to determine the amount of credit 
exposure we are willing to extend to a particular borrower. Management 
processes are used to monitor country, industry, and borrower or coun-
terparty risk ratings, which include daily, monthly, quarterly and annual 
review requirements for credit exposures. The key parameters used in 
our credit risk models are monitored on an ongoing basis.

Unanticipated economic or political changes in a foreign country 
could affect cross-border payments for goods and services, loans, divi-
dends, trade-related finance, as well as repatriation of the Bank’s capi-
tal in that country. The Bank currently has credit exposure in a number 
of countries, with the majority of the exposure in North America. We 
measure country risk using approved risk rating models and qualitative 
factors that are also used to establish country exposure guidelines 
covering all aspects of credit exposure across all businesses. Country 
risk ratings are managed on an ongoing basis and are subject to a 
detailed review at least annually.

As part of our credit risk strategy, we set limits on the amount of 

credit we are prepared to extend to specific industry sectors. We 
monitor our concentration to any given industry to ensure that our 
loan portfolio is diversified. We manage our risk using limits based on 
an internal risk rating score that combines our industry risk rating 
model and detailed industry analysis and we regularly review industry 
risk ratings to ensure that those ratings properly reflect the risk of the 
industry. We assign a maximum exposure limit or a concentration limit 
to each major industry segment which is a percentage of our total 
wholesale and commercial exposure.

We also set limits on the amount of credit we are prepared to extend 

to a particular entity or group of entities (also referred to as “entity 
risk”). All entity risk is approved by the appropriate decision-making 
authority using limits based on the entity’s borrower risk rating and for 
certain portfolios, the risk rating of the industry in which the entity 
operates. This exposure is monitored on a regular basis.

From  time-to-time,  we  may  use  credit  derivatives  to  mitigate 
industry concentration and borrower-specific exposure as part of 
our portfolio risk management techniques.

The Basel Framework
The objective of the Basel Framework is to improve the consistency 
of capital requirements internationally and make required regulatory 
capital more risk-sensitive. Basel sets out several options which repre-
sent increasingly more risk-sensitive approaches to calculating credit, 
market and operational risk and RWA.

Credit Risk and the Basel Framework
We received approval from OSFI to use the Basel Advanced Internal 
Ratings Based (AIRB) Approach for credit risk, effective November 1, 
2007. We use the AIRB Approach for all material portfolios, except 
in the following areas:
•   We have approved exemptions to use the Standardized Approach 

for some small credit exposures in North America. Risk Management 
reconfirms annually that this approach remains appropriate.

•   We have received temporary waivers to use the Standardized Approach 
for some small credit portfolios and the majority of our U.S. credit port-
folios. We are currently in the process of transitioning these portfolios 
to the AIRB Approach.

To continue to qualify to use the AIRB Approach for credit risk, the 
Bank must meet the ongoing conditions and requirements established 
by OSFI and the Basel Framework. We regularly assess our compliance 
with the Basel requirements.

Credit Risk Exposures subject to the AIRB Approach
The AIRB Approach to credit risk is used for all material portfolios except 
in the areas noted in the “Credit Risk and the Basel Framework” section. 
Banks that adopt the AIRB Approach to credit risk must report credit 
risk exposures by counterparty type, each having different underlying 
risk characteristics. These counterparty types may differ from the 
presentation in the Bank’s Consolidated Financial Statements. The 
Bank’s credit risk exposures are divided into two main portfolios, retail 
and non-retail.

Risk Parameters
Under the AIRB Approach, credit risk is measured using the following 
risk parameters: Probability of Default (PD) – the likelihood that the 
borrower will not be able to meet its scheduled repayments within a 
one year time horizon; Loss Given Default (LGD) – the amount of the 
loss the Bank would likely incur when a borrower defaults on a loan, 
which is expressed as a percentage of Exposure At Default (EAD) – the 
total amount we are exposed to at the time of default. By applying 
these risk parameters, we can measure and monitor our credit risk to 
ensure it remains within pre-determined thresholds.

Retail Exposures
In the retail portfolio (individuals and small businesses), we manage 
exposures on a pooled basis, using predictive credit scoring techniques. 
There are three sub-types of retail exposures: residential secured (for 
example, individual mortgages, home equity lines of credit), qualifying 
revolving retail (for example, individual credit cards, unsecured lines of 
credit and overdraft protection products), and other retail (for exam-
ple, personal loans including secured automobile loans, student lines 
of credit, and small business banking credit products).

The Bank calculates RWA for its Canadian Retail exposures using the 

AIRB approach. RWA for U.S. Retail exposures are currently reported 
under the Standardized Approach. All Canadian Retail parameter 
models (PD, EAD, and LGD) are based exclusively on the internal 
default and loss performance history for each of the three retail expo-
sure sub-types. For each Canadian Retail portfolio, the Bank retains 
performance history on a monthly basis at an individual account level 
beginning in 2000; all available history, which includes the 2001 and 
2008-2009 recessions in Canada, is used to ensure that the models’ 
output reflect an entire economic cycle.

Account-level PD, EAD, and LGD parameter models are built for 
each product portfolio, and calibrated based on the observed account-
level default and loss performance for the portfolio.

Consistent with the Basel framework, the Bank defines default for 

Canadian exposures as 90+ day delinquency/charge-off for all retail 
credit portfolios. LGD estimates used in the RWA calculations reflect 
economic losses, and as such, include direct and indirect costs as well 
as any appropriate discount to account for time between default and 
ultimate recovery. EAD estimates reflect the historically observed utili-
zation of undrawn credit limit prior to default. PD, EAD and LGD 
models are calibrated using logistic and linear regression techniques. 
Predictive attributes in the models may include account attributes (loan 
size, interest rate, collateral where applicable); account’s previous 
history and current status; an account’s age on books; customer’s 
credit bureau attributes, and customer’s other holdings with the Bank. 
For secured products such as residential mortgages, property charac-
teristics, loan-to-value ratios, and customer’s equity in the property 
play a significant role in PD as well as in LGD models.

All risk parameter estimates are updated on a quarterly basis based 
on the refreshed model inputs. Parameter estimation is fully automated 
based on approved formulas and is not subject to manual overrides.

The risk discriminative and predictive power of the Bank’s retail credit 
models is assessed against the most recently available 1-year default 
and loss performance on a quarterly basis. All models are also subject 
to a comprehensive independent validation prior to implementation 
and on an annual basis as outlined in the Model Risk Management 
section of this disclosure.

Long-run PD estimates are generated by including key economic 
indicators, such as interest rates and unemployment rates and using 
their long-run average over the credit cycle to estimate PD.

LGD estimates are required to reflect a downturn scenario. 
Downturn LGD estimates are generated by using macroeconomic 
inputs, such as changes in housing prices and unemployment rates 
expected in an appropriately severe downturn scenario.

For  unsecured  products,  downturn  LGD  estimates  reflect  the 
observed lower recoveries for exposures defaulted during the recent 
2008 – 2009 recession. For products secured by residential real estate 
(such as mortgages and home equity lines of credit), downturn LGD 
reflects  the  potential  impact  of  a  severe  housing  downturn.  EAD 
estimates similarly reflect a downturn scenario.

Non-retail Exposures
In the non-retail portfolio, we manage exposures on an individual 
borrower basis, using industry and sector-specific credit risk models, 
and expert judgment. We have categorized non-retail credit risk expo-
sures according to the following Basel II counterparty types: corporate 
(wholesale and commercial customers), sovereign and bank. Under the 
AIRB approach, CMHC-insured mortgages are considered sovereign 
risk and therefore classified as non-retail.

The Bank evaluates credit risk for non-retail exposures by using both 

a borrower risk rating (BRR) and facility risk rating (FRR). We use this 
system for all corporate, sovereign and bank exposures. We determine 
the  risk  ratings  using  industry  and  sector-specific  credit  risk  models 
that are based on internal historical data for the years of 1994 – 2012, 
covering  both  Wholesale  and  Commercial  lending  experience.  All 
borrowers and facilities are assigned an internal risk rating that must be 
reviewed at least once each year. External data such as rating agency 
default rates or loss databases are used to validate the parameters.

Internal risk ratings (BRR and FRR) are key to portfolio monitoring 
and management and are used to set exposure limits and loan pricing. 
Internal risk  ratings  are also used  in the calculation of regulatory 
capital, economic capital, and incurred but not identified allowance 
for credit losses. Consistent with the IRB approach to measure capital 
adequacy at a 1-year risk horizon, the parameters are estimated to 
a 12-month forward time horizon.

Borrower Risk Rating and PD
Each borrower is assigned a BRR that reflects the PD of the borrower 
using proprietary models and expert judgment. In assessing borrower 
risk, we review the borrower’s competitive position, financial perfor-
mance, economic and industry trends, management quality and access 
to funds. Under the IRB approach, borrowers are grouped into BRR 
grades that have similar PD. Use of projections for model implied risk 
ratings is not permitted and BRRs may not incorporate a projected 
reversal, stabilization of negative trends, or the acceleration of existing 
positive trends. Historic financial results can however be sensitized to 
account for events that have occurred, or are about to occur such as 
additional debt incurred by a borrower since the date of the last set 
of financial statements. In conducting an assessment of the BRR, all 
relevant and material information must be taken into account and the 
information being used must be current. Quantitative rating models 
are used to rank order the expected through-the-cycle PD, and these 
models are segmented into categories based on industry and borrower 
size. The quantitative model output can be modified in some cases by 
expert judgement, as prescribed within the Bank’s credit policies.

To  calibrate  PDs  for  each  BRR  band, the Bank computes yearly 

transition matrices based  on annual cohorts  and then estimates 
the average  annual PD for  each BRR.  The PD is set at the average 
estimation  level plus  an  appropriate adjustment to cover statistical 
and model uncertainty.

The calibration process for PD is a through-the-cycle approach.

Facility Risk Rating and LGD
The FRR maps to LGD and takes into account facility-specific character-
istics such as collateral, seniority ranking of debt, and loan structure.
Different FRR models are used based on industry and obligor size. 
Where an appropriate level of historical defaults is available per model, 
this data is used in the LGD estimation process. Data considered in the 
calibration of the LGD model includes variables such as collateral cover-
age, debt structure, and borrower enterprise value. Average LGD and 
the statistical uncertainty of LGD are estimated for each FRR grade. In 
some FRR models, lack of historical data requires the model to output 
a rank-ordering which is then mapped through expert judgement to 
the quantitative LGD scale.

The IRB approach stipulates the use of downturn LGD, where the 

downturn period, as determined by internal and/or external experi-
ence, suggests higher than average loss rates or lower than average 
recovery, such as during an economic recession. To reflect this, aver-
age calibrated LGDs take into account both the statistical estimation 
uncertainty and the higher than average LGDs experienced during 
downturn periods.

Exposure At Default
The  Bank  calculates  non-retail  EAD  by  first  measuring  the  drawn 
amount of a facility, and then adding a potential increased utilization 
at default,  from  the  undrawn  portion, if  any.  Usage Given Default 
(UGD) is measured as the percentage of Committed Undrawn exposure 
that would be expected to be drawn by a borrower defaulting in the 
next year, in addition to the amount that already has been drawn by 
the borrower. In the absence of credit mitigation effects or other 
details, the EAD is set at the Drawn amount plus (UGD x Undrawn), 
where UGD is a percentage between 0% and 100%.

Given that UGD is largely driven by PD, UGD data is consolidated by 
BRR  up  to 1  year prior  to  default.  An average UGD  is  then  calculated 
for each BRR along with the statistical uncertainty of the estimates.
Historical UGD experience is studied for any downturn impacts, 
similar to the LGD downturn analysis. The Bank has not found down-
turn UGD to be significantly different than average UGD, therefore, 
the UGDs are set at the average calibrated level, per BRR grade, plus 
an appropriate adjustment for statistical and model uncertainty.

Advanced IRB exposures are displayed in the following tables mapping 
the Bank’s 20-point borrower risk rating scale to external ratings.

Lower risk weights apply where approved credit risk mitigants exist. 
Loans that are more than 90 days past due receive a risk weight of 
either 100% (residential secured) or 150% (all other).

For off-balance sheet exposures, specified credit conversion factors 
are used to convert the notional amount of the exposure into a credit 
equivalent amount.

Derivative Exposures
Credit risk on derivative financial instruments, also known as counter-
party credit risk, is the risk of a financial loss occurring as a result of 
the failure of a counterparty to meet its obligation to the Bank. We 
use the Current Exposure Method to calculate the credit equivalent 
amount, which is defined by OSFI as the replacement cost plus an 
amount for potential future exposure, to estimate the risk and determine 
regulatory capital requirements for derivative exposures. The Global 
Counterparty Credit group within Capital Markets Risk Management 
is  responsible  for  estimating  and  managing  counterparty  credit  risk 
in  accordance with credit policies established by Risk Management.

Credit Risk Exposures subject to the Standardized Approach
Currently the Standardized Approach to credit risk is used primarily 
for assets in the U.S. Personal and Commercial Banking portfolio. We 
are currently in the process of transitioning this portfolio to the AIRB 
Approach. Under the Standardized Approach, the assets are multiplied 
by risk weights prescribed by OSFI to determine RWA. These risk 
weights are assigned according to certain factors including counter-
party type, product type, and the nature/extent of credit risk mitiga-
tion. We use external credit ratings assigned by one or more of 
Moody’s, S&P, and Fitch to determine the appropriate risk weight for 
our exposures to Sovereigns (governments, central banks and certain 
public sector entities) and Banks (regulated deposit-taking institutions, 
securities firms and certain public sector entities).

We apply the following risk weights to on-balance sheet exposures 

under the Standardized Approach:

Sovereign 
Bank 
Residential secured 
Other retail (including small business entities) 
Corporate 

0%1
20%1
35% or 75%2
75%
100%

1  The risk weight may vary according to the external risk rating.
2  35% applied when loan to value <=80%, 75% when loan-to-value >80%.

The Bank uses various qualitative and quantitative methods to 
measure and manage counterparty credit risk. These include statistical 
methods to measure the current and future potential risk, as well as 
conduct stress tests to identify and quantify exposure to extreme events. 
We establish various limits including gross notional limits to manage 
business volumes and concentrations. We regularly assess market condi-
tions and the valuation of underlying financial instruments. Counterparty 
credit risk may increase during periods of receding market liquidity for 
certain instruments. Capital Market Risk Management meets regularly 
with Market and Credit Risk Management and Trading businesses to 
discuss how evolving market conditions may impact our market risk 
and counterparty credit risk.

The Bank actively engages in risk mitigation strategies through the 
use of multi-product derivative master netting agreements, collateral 
and other credit risk mitigation techniques. We may also execute 
certain derivatives through a central clearing house which reduces 
counterparty credit risk due to the ability to net offsetting positions 
amongst counterparty participants that settle within clearing houses. 
Derivative-related credit risks are subject to the same credit approval, 
limit, monitoring, and exposure guideline standards that we use for 
managing other transactions that create credit risk exposure. These 
standards include evaluating the creditworthiness of counterparties, 
measuring  and  monitoring  exposures,  including  wrong-way  risk 
exposures,  and  managing  the  size,  diversification,  and  maturity 
structure of the portfolios.

There are two types of wrong-way risk exposures: general and 

specific. General wrong-way risk arises when the probability of default 
of the counterparties moves in the same direction as a given market 
risk factor. Specific wrong-way risk arises when the exposure to a 
particular counterparty moves in the same direction as the probability 
of default of the counterparty due to the nature of the transactions 
entered into with that counterparty. These exposures require specific 
approval within the credit approval process. We measure and manage 
specific wrong-way risk exposures in the same manner as direct loan 
obligations and control them by way of approved credit facility limits.
As part of the credit risk monitoring process, management meets 
on a periodic basis to review all exposures, including exposures result-
ing from derivative financial instruments to higher risk counterparties. 
As  at  October  31,  2013,  after  taking  into  account  risk  mitigation 
strategies, the Bank does not have material derivative exposure to any 
counterparty considered higher risk as defined by the Bank’s credit 
policies. In addition, the Bank does not have a material credit risk 
valuation adjustment to any specific counterparty.

Validation of the Credit Risk Rating System
Credit risk rating systems and methodologies are independently 
validated to verify that they remain accurate predictors of risk. The 
validation process includes the following considerations:
•   Risk parameter estimates – PDs, EADs, and LGDs are reviewed and 

updated against actual loss experience to ensure estimates continue 
to be reasonable predictors of potential loss.

•   Model performance – Estimates continue to be discriminatory, 

stable, and predictive.

•   Data quality – Data used in the risk rating system is accurate, 

appropriate, and sufficient.

•   Assumptions – Key assumptions underlying the development of the 

model remain valid for the current portfolio and environment.

Risk Management ensures that the credit risk rating system complies 
with TD’s Model Risk Policy. At least annually, the Risk Committee is 
informed of the performance of the credit risk rating system. The Risk 
Committee must approve any material changes to TD’s credit risk 
rating system.

Stress Testing
To determine the potential loss that could be incurred under a range 
of adverse scenarios, we subject our credit portfolios to stress tests. 
Stress tests assess vulnerability of the portfolios to the effects of severe 
but plausible situations, such as an economic downturn or a material 
market disruption.

Credit Risk Mitigation
The techniques we use to reduce or mitigate credit risk include written 
policies and procedures to value and manage financial and non-financial 
security (collateral) and to review and negotiate netting agreements. 
The amount and type of collateral and other credit risk mitigation 
techniques required are based on the Bank’s own assessment of the 
borrower’s or counterparty’s credit quality and capacity to pay.

In the Retail and Commercial Banking businesses, security for loans 
is primarily non-financial and includes residential real estate, real estate 
under development, commercial real estate and business assets, such 
as accounts receivable, inventory, fixed assets and automobiles. In the 
Wholesale Banking business, a large portion of loans is to investment 
grade borrowers where no security is pledged. Non-investment grade 
borrowers typically pledge business assets in the same manner as 
commercial borrowers. Common standards across the Bank are 
used to value collateral, determine frequency of recalculation and 
to document, register, perfect and monitor collateral.

We also use collateral and master netting agreements to mitigate 
derivative counterparty exposure. Security for derivative exposures is 
primarily financial and includes cash and negotiable securities issued by 
highly rated governments and investment grade issuers. This approach 
includes pre-defined discounts and procedures for the receipt, safe-
keeping, and release of pledged securities.

In all but exceptional situations, we secure collateral by taking 
possession and controlling it in a jurisdiction where we can legally 
enforce our collateral rights. Exceptionally, and when demanded by 
our counterparty, we hold or pledge collateral with a third-party 
custodian. We document third-party arrangements with a Custody 
and Control Agreement.

From time-to-time, we may take guarantees to reduce the risk in 
credit exposures. For credit risk exposures subject to AIRB, we only 
recognize irrevocable guarantees for Commercial and Wholesale 
Banking credit exposures that are provided by entities with a better risk 
rating than that of the borrower or counterparty to the transaction.

The Bank makes use of credit derivatives to mitigate credit risk. 
The credit, legal, and other risks associated with these transactions are 
controlled through well-established procedures. Our policy is to enter 
into these transactions with investment grade financial institutions and 
transact on a collateralized basis. Credit risk to these counterparties is 
managed through the same approval, limit and monitoring processes 
we use for all counterparties for which we have credit exposure.

The Bank uses appraisals and automated valuation models (AVMs) 
to support property values when adjudicating loans collateralized by 
residential real property. These are computer-based tools used to esti-
mate or validate the market value of homes using market comparables 
and price trends for local market areas. The primary risk associated 
with the use of these tools is that the value of an individual property 
may vary significantly from the average for the market area. We have 
specific risk management guidelines addressing the circumstances 
when they may be used and processes to periodically validate AVMs 
including obtaining third party appraisals.

TD BANK GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2013 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSISGross Credit Risk Exposure
Gross credit risk exposure, also referred to as EAD, is the total amount 
we are exposed to at the time of default of a loan and is measured 
before counterparty-specific provisions or write-offs. Gross credit risk 
exposure does not reflect the effects of credit risk mitigation and 
includes both on- and off-balance sheet exposures. On-balance sheet 

exposures  consist  primarily  of  outstanding  loans,  acceptances,  non-
trading securities, derivatives, and certain other repo-style transactions. 
Off-balance sheet exposures consist primarily of undrawn commitments, 
guarantees, and certain other repo-style transactions.

Gross credit risk exposure for the two approaches we use to measure 

credit risk is given in the following table:

1  Gross credit risk exposures represent EAD and are before the effects of credit  
risk mitigation. This table excludes securitization, equity and other credit risk-
weighted assets.

2  Effective 2013, non-retail exposures do not include OSFI “deemed” Qualifying 

Central Counterparty (QCCP) exposures as these are instead included with “other 
credit risk-weighted assets”, in accordance with the Basel III regulatory framework. 
Prior to 2013, non-retail exposures included QCCP exposures, in accordance with 
the Basel II regulatory framework.

Other Credit Risk Exposures
Non-trading Equity Exposures
Our non-trading equity exposures are at a level that represents less 
than 5% of our combined Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital. As a result, we 
use OSFI-prescribed risk weights to calculate our RWA on non-trading 
equity exposures.

Securitization Exposures
For  externally  rated  securitization  exposures,  we  use  both  the 
Standardized Approach and the Ratings Based Approach (RBA). Both 
approaches assign risk weights to exposures using external ratings. We 
use ratings assigned by one or more of Moody’s, S&P, Fitch and DBRS. 
The RBA also takes into account additional factors including the time 
horizon of the rating (long-term or short-term), the amount of detail 
available on the underlying asset pool and the seniority of the position.
We use the Internal Assessment Approach (IAA) to manage the 
credit risk of our exposures relating to ABCP securitizations that are 
not externally rated.

Under the IAA, we consider all relevant risk factors in assessing the 

credit quality of these exposures, including those published by the 
Moody’s, S&P, Fitch and DBRS rating agencies. We also use expected 
loss models and policies to quantify and monitor the level of risk, and 
facilitate its management. Our IAA process includes our assessment 
of the extent by which the enhancement available for loss protection 
provides coverage of expected losses. The levels of stressed coverage 
we require for each internal risk rating are consistent with the rating 
agencies’ published stressed factor requirements for equivalent exter-
nal ratings by asset class.

All  exposures are assigned an internal risk rating based on our 
assessment, which must be reviewed at least once per year. Our ratings 
reflect our assessment of risk of loss, consisting of the combined PD 
and LGD for each exposure. The ratings scale we use corresponds to 
the long term ratings scales used by the rating agencies.

Our  IAA  process  is  subject  to  all  the key elements and  principles 
of our  risk  governance  structure,  and is managed in the same way 
as outlined  in  this  Credit Risk  section.

We use the results of the IAA in all aspects of our credit risk 

management including performance tracking, control mechanisms and 
management reporting, and the calculation of capital. Under the IAA, 
exposures are multiplied by OSFI-prescribed risk weights to calculate 
RWA for capital purposes.

Market Risk
Trading Market Risk is the risk of loss in financial instruments or the 
balance sheet due to adverse movements in market factors such as 
interest and exchange rates, prices, credit spreads, volatilities, and 
correlations from trading activities.

Non-Trading Market Risk is the risk of loss in financial instruments, 
the balance sheet or in earnings, or the risk of volatility in earnings from 
non-trading activities such as asset-liability management or investments, 
predominantly from interest rate, foreign exchange and equity risks.

We are exposed to market risk in our trading and investment portfo-

lios, as well as through our non-trading activities. In our trading and 
investment portfolios, we are active participants in the market, seeking 
to realize returns for TD through careful management of our positions 
and  inventories.  In  our  non-trading  activities,  we  are  exposed  to 
market  risk  through  the  everyday  banking  transactions  that  our 
customers execute with us.

We comply with the Basel III market risk requirements as at October 31, 

2013 using the Internal Model Method.

MARKET RISK IN TRADING ACTIVITIES
The overall objective of TD’s trading businesses is to provide wholesale 
banking services, including facilitation and liquidity, to clients of the 
Bank. TD must take risk in order to provide effective service in markets 
where our clients trade. In particular, TD needs to hold inventory, act 
as principal to facilitate client transactions, and underwrite new issues. 
The Bank also trades in order to have in-depth knowledge of market 
conditions to provide the most efficient and effective pricing and service 
to clients while balancing the risks inherent in its dealing activities.

WHO MANAGES MARKET RISK IN TRADING ACTIVITIES
Primary responsibility for managing market risk in trading activities 
lies with  Wholesale  Banking  with  oversight  from  Market  Risk  Control 
within  Risk  Management.  The  Market  Risk  and  Capital  Committee 
meets  regularly  to  conduct  a  review  of  the  market  risk  profile  and 
trading results of our trading businesses, recommends changes to risk 
policies, reviews underwriting inventories, and the usage of capital and 
assets in Wholesale Banking. The committee is chaired by the Senior 
Vice President, Market Risk and Model Development, and includes 
Wholesale Banking senior management.

There were no significant reclassifications between trading and  

non-trading books during fiscal 2013.

HOW WE MANAGE MARKET RISK IN TRADING ACTIVITIES
Market risk plays a key part in the assessment of any trading business 
strategy. We launch new trading initiatives or expand existing ones 
only if the risk has been thoroughly assessed and is judged to be 
within our risk appetite and business expertise, and if the appropriate 
infrastructure is in place to monitor, control, and manage the risk. The 
Trading Market Risk Framework outlines the management of trading 
market risk and incorporates risk appetite, risk governance structure, 
risk identification, measurement, and control. The Trading Market Risk 
Framework is maintained by Risk Management and supports alignment 
with TD’s Risk Appetite for trading market risk.

Trading Limits
We set trading limits that are consistent with the approved business 
strategy for each business and our tolerance for the associated market 
risk, aligned to TD’s market risk appetite. In setting limits, we take into 
account market volatility, market liquidity, organizational experience 
and business strategy. Limits are prescribed at the Wholesale Banking 
level in aggregate, as well as at more granular levels.

The core market risk limits are based on the key risk drivers in the 
business and includes notional limits, credit spread limits, yield curve 
shift limits, price, and volatility limits.

Another primary measure of trading limits is VaR, which we use to 
monitor and control overall risk levels and to calculate the regulatory 
capital required for market risk in trading activities. VaR measures the 
adverse impact that potential changes in market rates and prices could 
have on the value of a portfolio over a specified period of time.

At the end of each day, risk positions are compared with risk limits, 
and any excesses are reported in accordance with established market 
risk policies and procedures.

Calculating VaR
The Bank computes total VaR on a daily basis by combining the General 
Market Risk (GMR) and Idiosyncratic Debt Specific Risk (IDSR) associated 
with the Bank’s trading positions.

GMR is determined by creating a distribution of potential changes 
in the market value of the current portfolio using historical simulation. 
TD values the current portfolio using the market price and rate changes 
(for equity, interest rate, foreign exchange, credit, and commodity 
products) of the most recent 259 trading days. GMR is computed as 
the threshold level that portfolio losses are not expected to exceed 
more than one out of every 100 trading days. A 1 day holding period 
is used for GMR calculation, which is scaled up to ten days for regula-
tory capital calculation purposes.

IDSR measures idiosyncratic (single-name) credit spread risk for credit 
exposures in the trading portfolio, using Monte Carlo simulation. The 
IDSR model is based on the historical behaviour of 5-year idiosyncratic 
credit spreads. Similar to GMR, IDSR is computed as the threshold level 
that portfolio losses are not expected to exceed more than one out of 
every 100 trading days. IDSR is measured for a 10 day holding period.
The graph below discloses daily one-day VaR usage and trading-
related  revenue  (TEB)  within  Wholesale  Banking.  Trading-related 
revenue is the total of trading revenue reported in other income and 
the net interest income on trading positions reported in net interest 
income, and is reported on a taxable equivalent basis. For the year 
ending October 31, 2013, there were 21 days of trading losses and 
trading-related income was positive for 92% of the trading days. 
Losses in the year did not exceed VaR on any trading day.

VaR is a valuable risk measure but it should be used in the context 
of its limitations, for example:
•   VaR uses historical data to estimate future events, which limits 

its forecasting abilities;

•   it does not provide information on losses beyond the selected  

confidence level; and

•   it assumes that all positions can be liquidated during the holding 

period used for VaR calculation.

We continuously improve our VaR methodologies and incorporate new 
risk measures in line with market conventions, industry best practices 
and regulatory requirements.

To mitigate  some of the shortcomings of VaR we  use additional 
metrics designed for risk management and capital purposes. These 
include Stressed VaR, Incremental Risk Charge, Stress testing framework, 
as well as limits based on the sensitivity to various market risk factors.

Calculating Stressed VaR
In addition to VaR, TD also calculates Stressed VaR, which includes 
Stressed GMR and Stressed IDSR. Stressed VaR is designed to measure 
the adverse impact that potential changes in market rates and prices 

could have on the value of a portfolio over a specified period of 
stressed market conditions. Stressed VaR is determined using similar 
techniques and assumptions in GMR and IDSR VaR. However, instead 
of using the most recent 259 trading days (one year), the Bank uses a 
selected year of stressed market conditions. In the last quarter of fiscal 
2013, Stressed VaR was calculated using the one-year period that 
began on February 1st, 2008. The appropriate historical one-year 
period to use for Stressed VaR is determined on a quarterly basis. 
Stressed VaR is a part of regulatory capital requirements.

Calculating the Incremental Risk Charge
The incremental risk charge (IRC) is applied to all instruments in the 
trading book subject to migration and default risk. Migration risk repre-
sents the risk of changes in the credit ratings of the Bank’s exposures. 
TD applies a Monte Carlo simulation with a one-year horizon and a 99.9% 
confidence level to determine IRC, which is consistent with regulatory 
requirements. IRC is based on a “constant level of risk” assumption, 
which requires banks to assign a liquidity horizon to positions that are 
subject to IRC. IRC is a part of regulatory capital requirements.

the high and low may occur on different days for different risk types.

Average VaR and Stressed VaR decreased compared with the prior 
year by $6.8 million and $15.7 million, respectively, with the largest 
contributor being a decrease in idiosyncratic debt specific risk, which 
was primarily driven by improvements in the quality of data underlying 
the model. Average IRC was relatively flat compared with the prior 
year, but has fluctuated during the year due to position changes.

Validation of VaR Model
TD uses a back-testing process to compare the actual and theoretical 
profit and losses to VaR to ensure that they are consistent with the 
statistical results of the VaR model. The theoretical profit or loss is 
generated using the daily price movements on the assumption that 
there is no change in the composition of the portfolio. Validation of 
the IRC model must follow a different approach since the one-year 
horizon and 99.9% confidence level preclude standard back-testing 
techniques. Instead, key parameters of the IRC model such as transi-
tion and correlation matrices are subject to independent validation by 
benchmarking against external study results or through analysis using 
internal or external data.

Stress Testing
TD’s trading  business is  subject to  an overall global stress test limit. 
In  addition, global  businesses have stress test  limits, and each broad 
risk  class has an overall  stress  test threshold. Stress  scenarios are 
designed  to model extreme  economic events, replicate worst-case 
historical  experiences,  or  introduce  severe  but plausible hypothetical 
changes  in  key  market  risk  factors.  The  stress  testing  program 
includes  scenarios  developed  using  actual  historical  market  data 
during  periods  of  market  disruption,  in  addition  to  hypothetical 
scenarios  developed  by  Risk  Management.  The  events  we  have 
modeled  include  the  1987  equity  market  crash,  the  1998  Russian 
debt default crisis,  the  aftermath  of September 11, 2001, the 2007 
ABCP  crisis,  and  the  credit crisis  of  fall 2008.

Stress tests are produced and reviewed regularly with the Market 

Risk and Capital Committee.

MARKET RISK IN OTHER WHOLESALE BANKING ACTIVITIES
We are also exposed to market risk arising from a legacy portfolio of 
bonds and preferred shares held in TD Securities and in our remaining 
merchant banking investments. Risk Management reviews and 
approves policies and procedures, which are established to monitor, 
measure, and mitigate these risks.

We are exposed to market risk when we enter into non-trading 
banking transactions with our customers. These transactions primarily 
include deposit taking and lending, which are also referred to as “asset 
and liability” positions.

Asset/Liability Management
Asset/liability management deals with managing the market risks of 
our traditional banking activities. Such market risks primarily include 
interest rate risk and foreign exchange risk.

WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ASSET/LIABILITY MANAGEMENT
The Treasury and Balance Sheet Management Department measures 
and manages the market risks of our non-trading banking activities, 
with oversight from the Asset/Liability and Capital Committee, which is 
chaired by the Group Head Insurance, Credit Cards and Enterprise 
Strategy, and includes other senior executives. The Risk Committee of 
the Board periodically reviews and approves key asset/liability manage-
ment and non-trading market risk policies and receives reports on 
compliance with approved risk limits.

HOW WE MANAGE OUR ASSET AND LIABILITY POSITIONS
When TD products are issued, risks are measured using a fully hedged 
option-adjusted transfer-pricing framework that allows us to measure 
and manage product risk within a target risk profile. The framework 
also ensures that business segments engage in risk-taking activities 
only if they are productive.

Managing Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the impact that changes in interest rates could 
have on our margins, earnings and economic value. The objective of 
interest rate risk management is to ensure that earnings are stable 
and predictable over time. To this end, we have adopted a disciplined 
hedging approach to managing the net interest income contribution 
from our asset and liability positions, including a modeled maturity 
profile for non-rate sensitive assets, liabilities and equity. Key aspects 
of this approach are:
•   Evaluating and managing the impact of rising or falling interest 
rates on net interest income and economic value and developing 
strategies to manage overall sensitivity to rates across varying 
interest rate scenarios.

•   Measuring the contribution of each TD product on a risk-adjusted, 
fully-hedged basis, including the impact of financial options such 
as mortgage commitments that are granted to customers.

•   Developing and implementing strategies to stabilize net interest 
income from all personal and commercial banking products.

We are exposed to interest rate risk when asset and liability principal and 
interest cash flows have different payment or maturity dates. These are 
called “mismatched positions.” An interest-sensitive asset or liability is 
repriced when interest rates change, when there is cash flow from final 
maturity, normal amortization, or when customers exercise prepayment, 
conversion or redemption options offered for the specific product.

Our exposure to interest rate risk depends on the size and direction 
of interest rate changes, and on the size and maturity of the mismatched 
positions. It is also affected by new business volumes, renewals of loans 
or deposits, and how actively customers exercise options, such as 
prepaying a loan before its maturity date.

Interest rate risk exposure, after economic hedging activities, is 

measured using various interest rate “shock” scenarios to estimate the 
impact of changes in interest rates on the Bank. Two measures that 
are used are Earnings at Risk (EaR) and Economic Value at Risk (EVaR). 
EaR is defined as the change in net interest income over the next 12 
months for an immediate and sustained 100 bps unfavourable interest 
rate shock. EaR measures the extent to which the maturing and repric-
ing asset and liability cash flows are matched over the next 12-month 
period and reflects how TD’s net interest income will change over that 
period as a result of the interest rate shock. EVaR is defined as the 
difference between the change in the present value of our asset port-
folio and the change in the present value of our liability portfolio, 
including off-balance sheet instruments, resulting from an immediate 
and  sustained  100  bps  unfavourable  interest  rate  shock.  EVaR 
measures the relative sensitivity of asset and liability cash flow 
mismatches to changes in long term interest rates. Closely matching 
asset and liability cash flows reduces EVaR and mitigates the risk of 
volatility in future interest income.

To the extent that interest rates are sufficiently low and it is not feasible 
to measure the impact of a 100 bps decline in interest rates, EVaR and EaR 
exposures will be calculated by measuring the impact of a decline in 
interest rates where the resultant rate does not become negative.

The model used to calculate EaR and EVaR captures the impact of 
changes to assumed customer behaviours, such as interest rate sensi-
tive mortgage prepayments, but does not assume any balance sheet 
growth, change in business mix, product pricing philosophy or 
management actions in response to changes in market conditions.

TD’s policy sets overall limits on EVaR and EaR which are linked to 
capital and net interest income, respectively. These Board limits are 
set consistent with TD’s enterprise risk appetite and are periodically 
reviewed  and  approved  by  the  Risk  Committee  of  the  Board. 
Exposures  against Board limits are routinely monitored and reported, 
and breaches of these Board limits (if any) are escalated to both the 
ALCO and the Risk Committee of the Board.

In addition to Board policy limits, book-level risk limits are set  
for TBSM’s management of non-trading interest rate risk by Risk 
Management. These book-level risk limits are set at a more granular 
level than Board policy limits for EaR and EVaR, and developed to 
be  consistent  with  the  overall  Board  Market  Risk  policy.  Breaches 
of  these book-level risk limits (if any) are escalated to the ALCO  
in a timely manner.

We regularly perform valuations of all asset and liability positions, 

as  well as off-balance sheet exposures. Our objective is to stabilize 
interest income over time through disciplined asset/liability matching.

86

TD BANK GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2013 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSISThe interest rate risk exposures from products with closed (non-
optioned) fixed-rate cash flows are measured and managed separately 
from products that offer customers prepayment options. We project 
future cash flows by looking at the impact of:
•   A target interest sensitivity profile for our core deposit portfolio.
•   Our targeted investment profile on our net equity position.
•   Liquidation assumptions on mortgages other than from embedded 

pre-payment options.

The objective of portfolio management within the closed book is to 
eliminate cash flow mismatches to the extent practically possible, so 
that net interest income becomes more predictable. Product options, 
whether they are freestanding options such as mortgage rate commit-
ments or embedded in loans and deposits, expose us to a significant 
financial risk.
•   Rate Commitments: We model our exposure from freestanding 
mortgage rate commitment options using an expected funding 
profile based on historical experience. Customers’ propensity to 
fund  and  their  preference  for  fixed  or  floating  rate  mortgage 
products is influenced by factors such as market mortgage rates, 
house prices and seasonality.

•   Asset Prepayment: We model our exposure to written options 

embedded in other products, such as the rights to prepay residential 
mortgage loans, based on analysis of customer behaviour. Econometric 
models are used to model prepayments and the effects of prepay-
ment behaviour to the Bank. In general mortgage prepayments are 
also affected by non-market incentives such as mortgage age, house 
prices and GDP growth. The combined impacts from these parame-
ters are also assessed to determine a core liquidation speed which 
is independent of market incentives.

•   Non Maturity Liabilities: We model our exposure to non-maturity 
liabilities such as core deposits by assessing interest rate elasticity 
and balance permanence using historical data and business judge-
ment. Fluctuations of non-maturity deposits can occur because of 
factors such as interest rate movements, equity market movements 
and changes to customer liquidity preferences.

To manage product option exposures we purchase options or use a 
dynamic hedging process designed to replicate the payoff of a 
purchased option. We also model the margin compression that would 
be caused by declining interest rates on certain rate sensitive demand 
deposit accounts.

Other market risks monitored on a regular basis include:
•   Basis Risk: The Bank is exposed to risks related to various   

market indices.

•   Equity Risk: The Bank is exposed to equity risk through its equity-
linked GIC product offering. The exposure is managed by purchasing 
options to replicate the equity payoff.

The following graph shows our interest rate risk exposure (as measured 
by EVaR) on all non-trading assets, liabilities, and derivative instruments 
used for interest rate risk management.

Parallel interest rate shock (percentage)

The Bank uses derivative financial instruments, wholesale investments 
and funding instruments and other capital market alternatives and, 
less frequently, product pricing strategies to manage interest rate risk. 
As at October 31, 2013, an immediate and sustained 100 basis point 
increase in interest rates would have decreased the economic value of 
shareholders’ equity by $31 million (October 31, 2012 – $161.8 million) 
after tax. An immediate and sustained 100 bps decrease in Canadian 
interest rates and a 25 bps decrease in U.S. interest rates would have 
reduced the economic value of shareholders’ equity by $9.4 million 
(October 31, 2012 – $ 80.5 million) after tax.

shareholders’ equity (after tax) by currency for those currencies where 
TD has material exposure.

For the EaR measure (not shown on the graph), a 100 basis point 
increase in interest rates on October 31, 2013 would have increased 
pre-tax net interest income by $562.0 million (October 31, 2012 – 
$225.1 million increase) in the next 12 months. A 100 basis point 
decrease in interest rates on October 31, 2013 would have decreased 
pre-tax  net  interest  income  by  $372.5  million  (October  31,  2012  – 
$187.9 million decrease) in the next 12 months. Over the last year, 
the reported EaR exposures have grown due to an increasing portion 
of permanent non-rate sensitive deposits being invested in a shorter 
term maturity profile. This is consistent with net interest income manage-
ment strategies overseen by ALCO. Reported EaR remains consistent 
with the Bank’s risk appetite and within established Board limits.

Managing Non-trading Foreign Exchange Risk
Foreign exchange risk refers to losses that could result from changes in 
foreign-currency exchange rates. Assets and liabilities that are denomi-
nated in foreign currencies have foreign exchange risk.

We are exposed to non-trading foreign exchange risk from our 
investments in foreign operations. When our foreign currency assets are 
greater or less than our liabilities in that currency, they create a foreign 
currency open position. An adverse change in foreign exchange rates 
can impact our reported net interest income and shareholders’ equity, 
and also our capital ratios. Our objective is to minimize these impacts.

Minimizing the impact of an adverse foreign exchange rate change 
on reported equity will cause some variability in capital ratios, due to 
the amount of RWA that are denominated in a foreign currency. If the 
Canadian dollar weakens, the Canadian-dollar equivalent of our RWA 
in a foreign currency increases, thereby increasing our capital require-
ment. For this reason, the foreign exchange risk arising from the 
Bank’s net investments in foreign operations is hedged to the point 
where capital ratios change by no more than an acceptable amount 
for a given change in foreign exchange rates.

Managing Investment Portfolios
The Bank manages a securities portfolio that is integrated into the 
overall asset and liability management process. The securities portfolio 
is managed using high quality low risk securities in a manner appropriate 
to the attainment of the following goals: (i) to generate a targeted 
credit of funds to deposits in excess of lending; (ii) to provide a suffi-
cient margin of liquid assets to meet unanticipated deposit and loan 
fluctuations and overall funds management objectives; (iii) to provide 
eligible securities to meet collateral requirements and cash management 
operations; and (iv) to manage the target interest rate risk profile of 
the balance sheet. Strategies for the investment portfolio are managed 
based on  the  interest rate  environment, balance sheet mix, actual 
and anticipated loan demand, funding opportunities and the overall 
interest rate sensitivity of the Bank. The Risk Committee reviews and 
approves  the  Enterprise  Investment  Policy  that  sets  out  limits  for 
TD’s  own portfolio.

WHY MARGINS ON AVERAGE EARNING ASSETS FLUCTUATE 
OVER TIME
As explained above, the objective of our approach to asset/liability 
management is to lock in margins on fixed-rate loans and deposits as 
they are booked. It also offsets the impact of an instantaneous inter-
est-rate shock on the amount of net interest income to be earned over 
time as a result of cash flow mismatches and the exercise of embedded 
options. Despite this approach, however, the margin on average earn-
ing assets is subject to change over time for the following reasons:
•   Margins earned on new and renewing fixed-rate products relative 

to the margin previously earned on matured products will affect the 
existing portfolio margin.

•   The weighted-average margin on average earning assets will shift 

as the mix of business changes.

•   Changes in the prime Bankers’ Acceptances (BA) basis and the lag 
in changing product prices in response to changes in wholesale 
rates may have an impact on margins earned.

The general level of interest rates will affect the return we generate 
on our modeled maturity profile for core deposits and the investment 
profile for our net equity position as it evolves over time. The general 
level of interest rates is also a key driver of some modeled option 
exposures, and will affect the cost of hedging such exposures.

Our approach tends to moderate the impact of these factors over 

time, resulting in a more stable and predictable earnings stream.

We use simulation modeling of net interest income to assess the 
level and changes in net interest income to be earned over time under 
various interest rate scenarios.

The model also includes the impact of projected product volume 
growth, new margin and product mix assumptions.

Operational Risk
Operational risk is the risk of loss resulting from inadequate 
or failed internal processes or systems or from human activities 
or from external events.

Operating  a  complex  financial  institution  exposes  our  businesses 

to  a broad range of operational risks, including failed transaction 
processing and documentation errors, fiduciary and information 
breaches, technology failures, business disruption, theft and fraud, 
workplace injury and damage to physical assets as a result of internal 
or outsourced business activities. The impact can result in significant 
financial loss, reputational harm or regulatory censure and penalties.

Operational risk is embedded in all our business activities including 

the practices for managing other risks such as credit, market and 
liquidity risk. We must mitigate and manage operational risk so that 
we can create and sustain shareholder value, successfully execute our 
business strategies, operate efficiently and provide reliable, secure and 
convenient access to financial services. We maintain a formal enter-
prise-wide operational risk management framework that emphasizes 
a strong risk management and internal control culture throughout TD.
Under Basel, we use the Standardized Approach to operational risk 
regulatory capital. Work is underway to build upon TD’s operational risk 
management framework to meet the requirements of the Advanced 
Measurement Approach for operational risk, and to proceed towards 
implementation.

TD BANK GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2013 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS 
 
 
 
 
 
WHO MANAGES OPERATIONAL RISK
Operational Risk Management is an independent function that designs 
and maintains TD’s overall operational risk management framework. 
This framework sets out the enterprise-wide governance processes, 
policies and practices to identify, assess, report, mitigate and control 
operational risk. Risk Management ensures that there is appropriate 
monitoring and reporting of our operational risk exposures to senior 
management through the Operational Risk Oversight Committee, the 
ERMC and the Risk Committee of the Board.

We also maintain program groups who oversee specific enterprise 

wide operational risk policies that require dedicated mitigation and 
control activities. These policies govern the activities of the Corporate 
functions responsible for the management and appropriate oversight 
over business continuity, supplier risk management, financial crime risk 
management, project change management, technology risk manage-
ment, and information security.

The senior management of individual business units is responsible 

for the day-to-day management of operational risk following our 
established operational risk management policies. Within each busi-
ness segment and corporate area, an independent risk management 
function uses the elements of the operational risk management frame-
work according to the nature and scope of the operational risks inher-
ent in the area. The senior executives in each business unit participate 
in a Risk Management Committee that oversees operational risk 
management issues and initiatives.

Ultimately, every employee has a role to play in managing opera-
tional risk. In addition to policies and procedures guiding employee 
activities, training is available to all staff regarding specific types of 
operational risks and their role in helping to protect the interests and 
assets of TD.

HOW WE MANAGE OPERATIONAL RISK
The Operational Risk Management Framework outlines the internal risk 
and control structure to manage operational risk and includes risk appe-
tite, policies, processes as well as limits and governance. The Operational 
Risk Management Framework is maintained by Risk Management and 
supports alignment with TD’s risk appetite for operational risk. The 
framework incorporates sound industry practices and meets regulatory 
requirements. Key components of the framework include:

Governance and Policy
Management  reporting  and  organizational  structures  emphasize 
accountability,  ownership  and  effective  oversight  of  each  business 
unit’s and each corporate area’s operational risk exposures. In addi-
tion, the expectations of the Risk Committee of the Board and senior 
management for managing operational risk are set out by enterprise-
wide policies and practices.

Risk and Control Self-Assessment
Internal control is one of the primary lines of defence in safeguarding 
our employees, customers, assets and information, and in preventing 
and detecting errors and fraud. Annually, management undertakes 
comprehensive assessments of key risk exposures and the internal 
controls in place to reduce or offset these risks. Senior management 
reviews the results of these evaluations to ensure that risk manage-
ment and internal controls are effective, appropriate and compliant 
with our policies.

Operational Risk Event Monitoring
In order to reduce our exposure to future loss, it is critical that we 
remain aware of and respond to our own and industry operational risks. 
Our policies and processes require that operational risk events be iden-
tified, tracked and reported to the appropriate level of management to 
ensure that we analyze and manage such risks appropriately and take 
suitable corrective and preventative action. We also review, analyze 
and benchmark TD against industry operational risk losses that have 
occurred at other financial institutions using information acquired 
through recognized industry data providers.

Risk Reporting
Risk Management, in partnership with senior management, regularly 
monitors risk-related measures and the status of risk throughout the 
Bank to report to the senior business management and the Risk 
Committee of the Board. Operational risk measures are systematically 
tracked, assessed and reported to ensure management accountability 
and attention are maintained over current and emerging issues.

Insurance
To  provide  the  Bank  with  additional  protection  from  loss,  Risk 
Management actively manages a comprehensive portfolio of business 
insurance and other risk mitigating arrangements. The type and level 
of insurance coverage is continually assessed to ensure that both our 
tolerance for risk and statutory requirements are met. This includes 
conducting regular in-depth risk and financial analysis and identifying 
opportunities to transfer our risk to third parties where appropriate. 
In transferring risk through insurance, the Bank transacts with external 
insurers that satisfy the Bank’s minimum financial rating requirements.

Technology and Information
Virtually all aspects of our business and operations use technology and 
information to create and support new markets, competitive products 
and delivery channels, and other business developments. The key risks 
are associated with the operational availability, integrity, confidentiality, 
and security of our information, systems and infrastructure. These 
risks are actively managed through enterprise-wide technology risk 
and information security management programs using industry best 
practices and our operational risk management framework. These 
programs include robust threat and vulnerability assessments, as well 
as security and disciplined change management practices.

Business Continuity Management
During incidents that could disrupt our business and operations, Business 
Continuity  Management  supports  the  ability of  senior management 
to  continue  to manage  and  operate their businesses, and provide 
customers access to products and services. Our robust enterprise-wide 
business  continuity  management  program  includes  formal  crisis 
management protocols and continuity strategies. All areas of TD are 
required to maintain and regularly test business continuity plans designed 
to respond to a broad range of potential scenarios.

Supplier Management
A third party supplier/vendor is an entity whose business is to supply a 
particular service or commodity. The benefits of leveraging third parties 
include access to leading technology, specialized expertise, economies 
of  scale  and  operational  efficiencies.  While  these  relationships  bring 
benefits  to  our  businesses  and  customers,  we  also  need  to  manage 
and  minimize  any  risks  related  to  the  activity.  We  do  this  through 
an enterprise-level  third-party  risk  management  program  that  guides 
third-party  activities  and  ensures  the  level  of  risk  management  and 
senior  management  oversight  is  appropriate  to  the  size,  risk  and 
importance of the third-party arrangement.

Project Management
We have established a disciplined approach to project management 
across the enterprise coordinated by our Enterprise Project Management 
Office (EPMO). This approach involves senior management governance 
and oversight of TD’s project portfolio and leverages leading industry 
practices to guide TD’s use of standardized project management meth-
odology, defined project management accountabilities and capabilities, 
and project portfolio reporting and management tools to support 
successful project delivery.

TD BANK GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2013 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSISFinancial Crime
Detecting fraud and other forms of financial crime are very important to 
the Bank. To do this we maintain extensive security systems, protocols 
and practices to detect and mitigate financial crimes against the Bank.

Model Risk Management
The Bank views Model Risk as the risk of the misspecification or misuse 
of models for pricing, risk management, credit scoring and for deter-
mining economic and regulatory capital resulting in adverse conse-
quences such as financial loss or incorrect business and strategic 
decisions. The Bank manages this risk in accordance with management 
approved model risk policies and supervisory guidance which captures 
the entire life cycle of a model starting from proof of concept, devel-
opment, initial and ongoing validation, model implementation, usage 
and ongoing performance monitoring. In cases where a model is 
deemed obsolete or unsuitable for its originally intended purposes, 
it is decommissioned in accordance with the Bank’s model risk policy.

Business segments identify the need for a new model and are respon-

sible for developing and documenting that model according to Bank 
policy and regulatory standards. During model development all controls 
with respect to code generation, acceptance testing, and usage are 
established and documented to a level of detail and comprehensiveness 
matching the materiality and complexity of the model. Once models are 
implemented, business owners are responsible for ongoing performance 
monitoring and usage in accordance with the Bank’s model risk policy 
and to ensure there is no inappropriate practices/use.

Risk Management owns and maintains a centralized model inventory 
and provides oversight of all models defined in the Bank’s model risk 
policy and is responsible for formal model validation and approval of new 
models before implementation and existing models on a pre-determined 
schedule depending on regulatory requirements and materiality. The 
validation process varies in rigour, depending on the model type and use 
but generally includes:
•   Assessment of the conceptual soundness of model methodologies 

and underlying assumptions;

•   Assessment of model risk associated with a model based on 

complexity and materiality;

•   Assessment of model sensitivity to model assumptions and changes 

in data inputs including stress testing;

•   Identification  of limitations, proposal of model risk mitigation 

mechanisms, and in the case of ongoing validation, assurance that 
model performance and limitations are adequately monitored; and

•   Regular oversight and periodic model reviews.

When appropriate, initial validation includes a benchmarking exercise 
which may include the building of an independent model based on a 
similar or alternative validation approach. The results of the benchmark 
model  are  compared  to  the  model  being  assessed.  Comparable 
performance further confirms the appropriateness of the model’s 
methodology and its implementation.

At the conclusion of the validation process, a model will either be 
approved for use, or should a model fail validation, require redevelop-
ment or other courses of action. Models identified as obsolete, or no 
longer appropriate for use through changes in industry practices, the 
business environment, or Bank strategies are subject to decommission-
ing. Model decommissioning responsibilities are shared between busi-
ness owners and Risk Management. To effectively mitigate model risk 
in this phase, implementation of Risk Management approved interim 
risk mitigation mechanisms is required before the model can be 
decommissioned or replaced.

Insurance Risk
Insurance risk is the risk of financial loss due to actual experience 
emerging differently from expectations in insurance product pricing 
or reserving. Unfavourable experience could emerge due to adverse 
fluctuations  in  timing,  actual  size  and/or  frequency  of  claims   
(for  example,  catastrophic  risk),  mortality,  morbidity,  longevity, 
policyholder behaviour, or associated expenses.

Insurance contracts provide financial protection by transferring 
insured risks to the issuer in exchange for premiums. We are exposed 
to insurance risk in our property and casualty insurance business, life 
and health insurance business and reinsurance business.

WHO MANAGES INSURANCE RISK
Senior management within the insurance business units has primary 
responsibility for managing insurance risk with oversight by the Chief 
Risk Officer for Insurance who reports into Risk Management. The 
Audit Committee of the Board acts as the Audit and Conduct Review 
Committee for the Canadian Insurance company subsidiaries. The 
Insurance company subsidiaries also have their own Boards of Directors, 
as  well  as  independent  external  appointed  actuaries who provide 
additional risk management oversight.

HOW WE MANAGE INSURANCE RISK
The  Bank’s  risk governance  practices ensure strong independent 
oversight and control of risk within the Insurance business. The Risk 
Committee for the Insurance business provides critical oversight of 
the risk management activities within the business. The Insurance Risk 
Management Framework outlines the internal risk and control struc-
ture to manage insurance risk and includes risk appetite, policies, 
processes as well as limits and governance. The Insurance Risk 
Management Framework is maintained by Risk Management and 
supports alignment with TD’s risk appetite for insurance risk.

The assessment of reserves for claim liabilities is central to the insur-
ance operation. TD engages in establishing reserves to cover estimated 
future payments (including loss adjustment expenses) on all claims 
arising from insurance contracts underwritten. The reserves cannot be 
established with complete certainty, and represent management’s best 
estimate for future claim payments. As such, TD regularly monitors 
liability estimates against claims experience and adjusts reserves as 
appropriate if experience emerges differently than anticipated.

Sound product design is an essential element of managing risk. 
TD’s exposure to insurance risk is generally short term in nature as the 
principal underwriting risk relates to automobile and home insurance 
for individuals.

Insurance market cycles as well as changes in automobile insurance 

legislation, the judicial environment, trends in court awards, climate 
patterns and the economic environment may impact the performance 
of the insurance business. Consistent pricing policies and underwriting 
standards are maintained and compliance with such policies is moni-
tored by the Risk Committee for the Insurance business.

Automobile insurance is provincially legislated and as such, policy-
holder benefits may differ between provinces. There is also exposure 
to geographic concentration risk associated with personal property 
coverage. Exposure to insurance risk concentrations is managed 
through established underwriting guidelines, limits, and authorization 
levels that govern the acceptance of risk. Concentration risk is also 
mitigated through the purchase of reinsurance.

Strategies are in place to manage the risk to our reinsurance busi-
ness. Underwriting risk on business assumed is managed through a 
policy that limits exposure to certain types of business and countries. 
The vast majority of treaties are annually renewable, which minimizes 
long term risk. Pandemic exposure is reviewed and estimated annually.

TD BANK GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2013 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSISLiquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that TD will be unable to meet a demand for 
cash, or fund its obligations, as they come due. Demand for cash can 
arise from deposit withdrawals, debt maturities, utilization of commit-
ments to provide credit or liquidity support and/or the need to pledge 
additional collateral.

As a financial organization, we must ensure that we have continued 
access to sufficient and appropriate funding to cover our financial 
obligations as they come due, and to sustain and grow our businesses 
under normal and stress conditions. In the event of a funding disruption, 
we need to be able to continue  operating without the requirement 

to sell non-marketable assets and/or significantly altering our business 
strategy. The process that ensures adequate access to funding, avail-
ability of liquid assets and/or collateral under both normal and stress 
conditions is known as liquidity risk management.

HOW WE MANAGE LIQUIDITY RISK
Our  overall  liquidity requirement is  defined as the  amount of liquid 
assets we need to hold to cover expected future cash flow requirements, 
and prudent reserve against potential cash outflows in the event of a 
capital markets disruption or other event that could affect our access to 
funding. We do not rely on short-term wholesale funding for purposes 
other than funding marketable securities or short-term assets.

To define the amount of liquidity that must be held at all times 
for a specified minimum 90-day period, we use a conservative “Severe 
Combined Stress” scenario that models potential liquidity requirements 
and asset marketability during a crisis that has been triggered in the 
markets specifically with respect to a lack of confidence in our ability to 
meet obligations as they come due. We also assume loss of access to all 
forms of external unsecured funding during the 90-day survival period.
In addition to this bank-specific event, the “Severe Combined 

Stress” scenario also incorporates the impact of a stressed market-wide 
liquidity event that results in a significant reduction in the availability 
of both short- and long-term funding for all institutions, a significant 
increase in our cost of funds and a significant decrease in the market-
ability of assets. We also calculate “required liquidity” for this scenario 
related to the following conditions:
•   100% of all maturing unsecured wholesale and secured funding 

coming due;

•   Accelerated attrition or “run-off” of personal and commercial 

deposit balances;

•   Increased utilization of available credit facilities to personal, 

commercial and corporate lending customers;

•   Increased collateral requirements associated with downgrades in 

TD’s credit rating and adverse movement in reference rates for all 
derivative contracts; and

•   Coverage of maturities related to Bank-sponsored funding programs, 
such as the bankers’ acceptances we issue on behalf of clients and 
short-term revolving asset-backed commercial paper (ABCP) channels.

TD’S LIQUIDITY RISK APPETITE
Liquidity risk has the potential to place TD in a highly vulnerable 
position because, in the event that we cannot (or are perceived as 
not being able to) meet our funding commitments and/or require-
ments, we would cease to operate as a going concern. Accordingly, 
TD  maintains  a  sound  and  prudent  approach  to  managing  our 
potential exposure to liquidity risk, including targeting a 90-day 
survival horizon under a combined bank-specific and market-wide 
stress scenario, and a 365-day survival horizon under a pro-longed 
bank-specific stress scenario that impacts the Bank’s access to unse-
cured wholesale funding. The resultant management strategies and 
actions comprise an integrated liquidity risk management program 
that ensures low exposure to identified sources of liquidity risk.

LIQUIDITY RISK MANAGEMENT RESPONSIBILITY
ALCO oversee our liquidity risk management program. It ensures there 
is an effective management structure in place to properly measure and 
manage liquidity risk. The Global Liquidity Forum (GLF), a subcommittee 
of the ALCO, comprised of senior management from TBSM, Risk 
Management, Finance, and Wholesale Banking, identifies and monitors 
our liquidity risks. The GLF recommends actions to the ALCO to maintain 
our liquidity positions within limits under normal and stress conditions.

The following treasury areas are responsible for measuring, monitoring 

and managing liquidity risks for major business segments:
•   TBSM is responsible for maintaining the Global Liquidity and Asset 
Pledging Policy (GLAP) and associated limits, standards and processes 
to  ensure  that  consistent  and  efficient  liquidity  management 
approaches  are  applied  across  all  of  our  operations.  TBSM  also 
manages  and  reports  the  combined  Canadian  Personal  and 
Commercial Banking (including domestic Wealth businesses); 
Corporate segment and Wholesale Banking liquidity positions.
•   U.S. TBSM is responsible for managing the liquidity position for 

U.S. Personal and Commercial Banking operations.

•   Other regional treasury-related operations, including those within 
our insurance, foreign branches and/or subsidiaries are responsible 
for managing their liquidity risk and positions.

•   Management overseeing liquidity at the regional level policies and 
liquidity risk management programs that are consistent with the 
GLAP and are necessary to address local business conditions and/or 
regulatory requirements.

•   GLAP and regional policies are subject to review by the GLF and 

approval by the ALCO.

•   The  Risk  Committee  of  the  Board  frequently  reviews  reporting 
of our  enterprise  liquidity  position  and  approves  Liquidity  Risk 
Management  Framework  and  Board  Policies  annually.

TD BANK GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2013 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSISTD’s liquidity policy stipulates that we must maintain sufficient “available 
liquidity”  to  cover  “required  liquidity”  at  all  times  throughout  the 
“Severe Combined Stress” scenario. The liquid assets we include as 
“available liquidity” must be currently marketable, of sufficient credit 
quality and available-for-sale and/or pledging to be considered readily 
convertible into cash over the 90-day survival horizon. Liquid assets 

that we consider when determining the Bank’s “available liquidity” 
are summarized in the following table, which does not include assets 
held within TD’s insurance businesses as these assets are dedicated to 
cover insurance liabilities and are not considered available to meet the 
Bank’s general liquidity requirements:

Unencumbered liquid assets are represented in a cumulative liquidity 
gap framework with adjustments made for estimated market or trading 
depth for each asset class, settlement timing and/or other identified 
impediments to potential sale or pledging. In addition, the fair market 
value of securities will fluctuate based on changes in prevailing interest 
rates, credit spreads and/or market demand. Where appropriate, we 
apply a downward adjustment to current market value reflective of 
expected market conditions and investor requirements during the 
“Severe Combined Stress” scenario. Overall, we expect the reduction 

in current market value to be relatively low given the underlying high 
credit quality and demonstrated liquidity of our liquid asset portfolio. 
“Available liquidity” also includes our estimated borrowing capacity 
through the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) System in the U.S.

TD has access to the Bank of Canada’s emergency lending assistance 
program, Federal Reserve Bank discount window in the U.S. and European 
Central Bank standby liquidity facilities. TD does not consider borrowing 
capacity  at  central  banks  as  a  source  of  available  liquidity  when 
assessing liquidity positions.

1  The above ratings are for The Toronto-Dominion Bank legal entity. A more exten-
sive listing, including subsidiaries’ ratings, is available on the Bank’s website at 
http://www.td.com/investor/credit.jsp. Credit ratings are not recommendations 
to purchase, sell or hold a financial obligation inasmuch as they do not comment 
on  market  price  or  suitability  for  a  particular  investor.  Ratings  are  subject  to 
revision or withdrawal at any time by the rating organization.

We regularly review the level of increased collateral our trading coun-
terparties would require in the event of a downgrade of TD’s credit 
rating. We routinely hold liquid assets to ensure we are able to provide 
additional collateral required by trading counterparties in the event of 
a one-notch downgrade in our senior long-term credit ratings. Severe 
downgrades could have an impact on “required liquidity” by requiring 
the Bank to post additional collateral for the benefit of our trading 
counterparties. The table below presents the additional collateral 
payments that could have been called at the reporting date in the 
event of one, two and three-notch downgrades of our credit ratings.

1  Comparative amounts have been restated to conform with the presentation 

adopted in the current year.

Our surplus liquid-asset position for each business segment is calculated 
by deducting “required liquidity” from “available liquidity”. TD does 
not consolidate the surplus liquidity of U.S. Personal and Commercial 
Banking with the positions of other segments due to investment 
restrictions imposed by the U.S. Federal Reserve of funds generated 
from deposit taking activities by member financial institutions. Surplus 
liquidity domiciled in certain Wealth and Insurance subsidiaries are not 
included in the liquidity position calculation for Canadian Personal and 
Commercial Banking due to regulatory investment restrictions.

TD also maintains foreign branches in key global centres such as New 

York, London and Singapore to support Wholesale Banking activities. 
The Parent company routinely provides a guarantee of liquidity support 
to all of its foreign branches and consolidated subsidiaries.

The ongoing measurement of business segment liquidity in accordance 

with stress scenario related limits ensures there will be sufficient sources 
of cash in a liquidity stress event. Additional stress scenarios are also 
used to evaluate the potential range of “required liquidity” levels that 
the  Bank  could  encounter.  We  have  liquidity  contingency  funding 
plans (CFP) in place for each major business segment and local juris-
diction to document liquidity management actions and governance in 
relation to stress events. CFP documentation is an integral component 
of the Bank’s overall liquidity risk management program.

Credit ratings are important to our borrowing costs and ability to 
raise funds. Rating downgrades could potentially result in higher financ-
ing costs and reduce access to capital markets, and could also affect our 
ability to enter into routine derivative or hedging transactions.

Credit ratings and outlooks provided by rating agencies reflect their 
views and are subject to change from time-to-time, based on a number 
of factors including our financial strength, competitive position and 
liquidity as well as factors not entirely within our control, including 
the methodologies used by rating agencies and conditions affecting 
the overall financial services industry.

1  Asset encumbrance has been analysed on an individual asset basis. Where a particular 
asset has been encumbered and TD has holdings of the asset both on-balance sheet 
and off-balance sheet, it is assumed for the purpose of this disclosure that the 
on-balance sheet holding is encumbered ahead of the off-balance sheet holding.
2  Represents assets on the Bank’s Consolidated Balance Sheet that have been posted 
externally to support the Bank’s liabilities and day-to-day operations including   
securities related to repurchase agreements, securities lending, clearing and 
payment systems and assets pledged for derivative transactions. Also includes 
assets that have been pledged supporting FHLB activity.

3  Assets on the Bank’s Consolidated Balance Sheet supporting TD Bank funding 
activities, assets pledged against securitization liabilities, assets held by consoli-
dated securitization vehicles or in pools for covered bond issuance, and assets 
covering short sales.

Refer to Note 29 of the Consolidated Financial Statements “Pledged 
Assets and Collateral” discussion for details on financial assets 
accepted as collateral that the Bank is permitted to sell or repledge 
in the absence of default.

FUNDING
TD has access to a wide variety of short- and long-term unsecured and 
secured funding sources including securitization channels that it uses 
to meet operational requirements. TD’s funding activities are conducted 
in accordance with the GLAP Policy that requires, among other things, 
assets be funded to the appropriate term.

Our primary approach to managing funding activities is to maximize 

the use of deposits raised through retail and business banking chan-
nels. The following table illustrates the Bank’s large base of personal 
and commercial, domestic Wealth and TD Ameritrade sweep deposits 
(collectively P&C deposits) that make up over 70% of total funding. 
Over 60%of these deposits are insured under various insurance deposit 
regimes, including the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation (CDIC) 
and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The amount of stable 
long-term funding provided by demand or non-specific maturity P&C 
deposits is determined based on demonstrated balance permanence 
under the “Severe Combined Stress” scenario.

4  Assets on the Bank’s Consolidated Balance Sheet that are considered readily  
available in their current legal form to generate funding or support collateral 
needs. This category includes reported FHLB assets that remain unutilized and  
held-to-maturity securities that are available for collateral purposes however  
not regularly utilized in practice.

5  Assets on the Bank’s Consolidated Balance Sheet that cannot be used to support 
funding or collateral requirements in their current form. This category includes 
those assets that are potentially eligible as funding program collateral (for example, 
CMHC insured mortgages that can be securitized into NHA MBS).

6  Securities include trading loans, securities, and other, financial assets designated at fair 
value through profit or loss, available-for-sale securities and held-to-maturity securities.

The Bank maintains an active external funding program to provide 
access to diversified funding sources, including asset securitization, 
covered bonds and unsecured wholesale debt. Our wholesale funding 
is diversified geographically, by currency and by distribution network. 
The Bank maintains depositor concentration limits against short-term 
wholesale deposits in effort not to excessively depend on one or small 
groups of depositors for funding. The Bank further limits short-term 
wholesale  funding  that  can  mature  in  a  given  time  period  in  effort 

to  mitigate exposures to refinancing risk and asset liquidity risk during 
a stress event. Responsibility for our funding activities is as follows:
•   TBSM is responsible for meeting all TD long-term funding needs 
related to mortgage or loan growth, corporate investments and 
subsidiary capital requirements.

•   Wholesale Banking is responsible for meeting short-term funding 
and liquidity requirements relating to Wholesale Banking activities.

•   ALCO reviews new external funding programs and strategies in 

conjunction with its regular review of TD’s funding plan.

The Bank continues to explore all opportunities to access lower-cost 
funding on a sustainable basis. Some liabilities are not considered 
wholesale funding as they may be raised primarily for capital manage-
ment purposes (for example, subordinated debt) or to facilitate client 

business (for example, deposits with the Bank). The following table 
represents the various sources of funding obtained as at October 31, 
2013 and October 31, 2012, respectively:

We use residential real estate-secured securitization programs as a 
primary source of funding. Excluding Wholesale Banking mortgage 
aggregation business, our total 2013 mortgage-backed securities issuance 
was $6.3 billion (2012 – $6.7 billion), and other real-estate secured 
issuance using asset-backed securities was $1.0 billion (2012 – nil). 
We  continued  to  expand  our  long-term  funding  base  by  issuing 
$13.4 billion of unsecured medium-term notes (2012 – $2.0 billion) 
in  various currencies and markets however did not issue covered bonds 
during the year ended October 31, 2013 (2012 – $3.0 billion).

REGULATORY DEVELOPMENTS CONCERNING LIQUIDITY
In December 2010, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision 
(BCBS) issued a final framework document outlining two new liquidity 
standards in addition to supplemental reporting metrics applicable to 
all internationally active banks. The document prescribes the Liquidity 
Coverage Ratio (LCR) and Net Stable Funding Ratio (NSFR) as minimum 
regulatory standards effective January 1, 2015 and January 1, 2018 
respectively. In January 2013, the BCBS released its final rules for the 
LCR. BCBS continues to assess NSFR guidelines, with planned imple-
mentation effective 2018. TD continues to evaluate the implications 
of these requirements and develop strategies to align its liquidity risk 
management framework with the regulatory standards.

MATURITY ANALYSIS OF ASSETS, LIABILITIES AND  
OFF-BALANCE SHEET COMMITMENTS
Table 73 summarizes on- and off-balance sheet categories by remaining 
contractual maturity. Off-balance sheet commitments include contractual 
obligations to make future payments on operating and capital lease 
commitments, certain purchase obligations and other liabilities. The 
values of credit instruments reported below represent the maximum 
amount of additional credit that the Bank could be obligated to extend 
should contracts be fully utilized. Since a significant portion of guarantees 
and commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, 
the total of the contractual amounts is not representative of future 
liquidity requirements. These contractual obligations have an impact 
on TD’s short-term and long-term liquidity and capital resource needs.
The maturity analysis presented does not depict TD’s asset/liability 
matching or exposure to interest rate risk. The maturity analysis also 
differs from how the Bank evaluates the exposure it may have to 
liquidity risk and its associated funding needs. TD ensures that assets 

are appropriately funded to protect against borrowing cost volatility 
and potential reductions to funding market availability (that is, we do 
not fund illiquid long-term assets with short-term maturity borrowings). 
TD utilizes stable P&C non-specific maturity deposits (chequing and 
savings accounts) and P&C term deposits as the primary source of 
long-term funding for the Bank’s non-trading assets. TD also funds the 
stable balance of non-specific maturity revolving line of credit balances 
with long-term funding sources. We conduct long-term funding activi-
ties based on the projected net growth for non-trading assets after 
considering such items as new business volumes, renewals of both 
term loans and term deposits, and how customers exercise options to 
prepay and pre-redeem. TD targets terms-to-maturity for new funding 
to match as closely as possible the resultant expected maturity profile 
of its balance sheet. We also raise shorter-term unsecured wholesale 
deposits to fund trading assets based on our internal estimates of 
liquidity of these assets under stressed market conditions.

Capital Adequacy Risk
Capital adequacy risk is the risk of insufficient capital available in relation 
to the amount of capital required to carry out the Bank’s strategy and/or 
satisfy regulatory and internal capital adequacy requirements.

Capital is held to protect the viability of the Bank in the event of 

unexpected financial losses. Capital represents the loss-absorbing 
funding required to provide a cushion to protect depositors and other 
creditors from unexpected losses.

Regulators prescribe minimum levels of capital that are referred to 
as limits. Managing the capital levels of a financial institution exposes 
our Bank to the risk of breaching regulatory capital limits.

WHO MANAGES CAPITAL ADEQUACY RISK
The Board of Directors have the ultimate responsibility for overseeing 
adequacy of capital and capital management. The Board of Directors 
reviews  the  adherence  to  capital  limits  and  targets;  reviews  and 
approves the annual capital plan and the Global Capital Management 
Policy.  The  Risk  Committee  of  the  Board  oversees  management’s 
actions to maintain an appropriate ICAAP framework, commensurate 
with the Bank’s risk profile. The Chief Risk Officer ensures the Bank’s 
ICAAP is effective in meeting capital adequacy requirements.

The ALCO establishes and maintains the Global Capital Management 

Policy for effective and prudent management of the Bank’s capital 
position and supports maintenance of adequate capital. It oversees 
the  allocation of capital limits for business segments and reviews 
adherence to capital limits and targets.

Enterprise Capital Management is responsible for forecasting and 
monitoring compliance with capital limits and targets, on a consolidated 
basis. Enterprise Capital Management updates the capital forecast 
and makes recommendations to the ALCO regarding capital issuance, 
repurchase and redemption. Risk Capital Assessment, within Risk 
Management, leads the ICAAP and Enterprise-Wide Stress Testing 
(EWST)  processes.  Business  segments  are  responsible  for  managing 
to  allocated capital limits.

HOW WE MANAGE CAPITAL ADEQUACY RISK
Capital resources are managed to ensure the Bank’s capital position 
can support business strategies under both current and future business 
operating environments. The Bank manages its operations within the 
capital constraints defined by both internal and regulatory capital 
requirements, ensuring that it meets the higher of these requirements.
Regulatory capital requirements represent minimum capital levels. 
The Board of Directors determines capital targets in excess of capital 
limits. The purpose of capital targets is to reduce the risk of a breach 
of capital limits, due to an unexpected stress event, allowing manage-
ment the opportunity to react to declining capital levels before capital 
limits are breached. The ALCO manages the Bank’s capital level above 
the Board Capital Target, taking into account normal capital volatility 
and strategic requirements. Capital limits and targets are defined in 
the Global Capital Management Policy.

The Bank also determines its internal capital requirements through 

the ICAAP process using models to measure the risk-based capital 
required based on its own tolerance for the risk of unexpected losses. 
This risk tolerance is calibrated to the required confidence level so that 
the Bank will be able to meet its obligations, even after absorbing 
worst case unexpected losses over a one year period, associated with 
management’s target debt rating.

In addition, the Bank has a Capital Contingency Plan that is designed 
to prepare management to ensure capital adequacy through periods of 
Bank specific or systemic market stress. The Capital Contingency Plan 
determines the governance and procedures to be followed if the Bank’s 
consolidated capital levels are forecast to fall below capital limits or 
targets. It outlines potential management actions that may be taken 
to prevent such a breach from occurring.

A  comprehensive  periodic  monitoring  process  is  undertaken  to 
plan and forecast capital requirements. As part of the annual planning 
process,  business  segments  are  allocated  individual  capital  limits. 
Capital  usage is monitored  and reported to the ALCO.

The Bank assesses the sensitivity of its forecast capital requirements 
and  new  capital  formations  to  various  economic  conditions  through 
its  EWST process. The impacts of the EWST are applied to the capital 
forecast and are considered in the determination of capital targets.

Legal and Regulatory Compliance Risk
Legal and Regulatory Compliance Risk is the risk associated with the 
failure to meet the Bank’s legal obligations from legislative, regulatory 
or contractual perspectives. This includes risks associated with the fail-
ure to identify, communicate and comply with current and changing, 
laws, regulations, rules, self-regulatory organization standards and 
codes of conduct.

Financial services is one of the most closely regulated industries, 
and the management of a financial services business such as ours is 
expected to meet high standards in all business dealings and transac-
tions. As a result, we are exposed to legal and regulatory compliance 
risk in virtually all of our activities. Failure to meet regulatory and legal 
requirements not only poses a risk of censure or penalty, and may lead 
to litigation, but also puts our reputation at risk. Financial penalties, 
and other costs associated with legal proceedings, and unfavourable 
judicial or regulatory judgments may also adversely affect TD’s business, 
results of operations and financial condition.

Regulatory compliance and legal risk differs from other banking risks, 

such as credit risk or market risk, in that it is typically not a risk actively 
or  deliberately  assumed  by  management  in  expectation  of  a  return. 
It  occurs as part of the normal course of operating our businesses.

WHO MANAGES LEGAL AND REGULATORY COMPLIANCE RISK
Business segments and corporate areas are responsible for managing 
day-to-day legal and regulatory compliance risk, while the Legal, 
Compliance, Global Anti-Money Laundering and Regulatory Risk 
(including Regulatory Relationships and Government Affairs) groups 
assist them by providing advice and oversight.

The Compliance, Global Anti-Money Laundering and Regulatory 
Risk groups establish risk-based programs and standards to proactively 
manage known and emerging compliance risk. They also provide inde-
pendent oversight and deliver operational control processes to comply 
with applicable legislation and regulatory requirements.

In addition, our Regulatory Risk groups also create and facilitate 
communication with elected officials and regulators, monitor legisla-
tion and regulations, support business relationships with governments, 
coordinate regulatory examinations, facilitate regulatory approvals of 
new products, and advance the public policy objectives of TD.

Internal and external Legal counsel also work closely with the busi-
ness segments and corporate functions to identify areas of potential 
legal and regulatory compliance risk, and actively manage them to 
reduce TD’s exposure.

TD BANK GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2013 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSISHOW WE MANAGE LEGAL AND REGULATORY  
COMPLIANCE RISK
Our Code of Conduct and Ethics helps set the “tone at the top” for a 
culture of integrity within our organization. The Code stipulates that 
every business decision and action on TD’s behalf must be assessed in 
light of what is right, legal and fair. The Code is supported by a number 
of other policies, training programs and tools, and new employee or 
director orientation materials, covering a variety of relevant topics, such 
as anti-money laundering, privacy and anti-corruption practices. All 
directors, officers and employees are required to attest annually that 
they understand the Code and have complied with its provisions.

Business segments and corporate areas manage day-to-day legal 
and regulatory compliance risk primarily by implementing appropriate 
policies, procedures and controls. The Legal, Compliance, and Global 
Anti-Money Laundering groups collectively assist them by:
•   Communicating and advising on regulatory and legal requirements 
and emerging compliance risks to each business unit as required, 
including reviewing and approving new products that raise poten-
tially significant legal or regulatory compliance risks.

•   Implementing or assisting with policies, procedures and training.
•   Assessing regulatory and legislative requirements and compliance-

related risks using an independent risk-based approach.

•   Independently monitoring and testing for adherence to certain 

regulatory and legal requirements, as well as the effectiveness of 
associated key internal controls.

•   Tracking,  escalating  and  reporting  significant  issues  and  findings 

to  senior management and the Board of Directors.

•   Liaising with regulators, as appropriate, regarding new or revised 
legislation, or regulatory guidance or regulatory examinations.

Our policies and processes also provide for the timely escalation of 
potential or actual significant legal or regulatory issues to enable senior 
management and the Board of Directors to effectively perform their 
management and oversight responsibilities.

While it is not possible to completely eliminate legal risk, the Legal 

Department also works closely with business segments and other 
corporate areas to identify and manage risk associated with contractual 
obligations and plays a gatekeeper function for unacceptable legal risk. 
The Legal Department also manages litigation risk within the TD Risk 
Appetite Statement.

Reputational Risk
Reputational risk is the potential that stakeholder impressions, 
whether  true  or  not,  regarding  the  Bank’s  business  practices, 
actions  or inactions, will or may cause a decline in the institution’s 
value, brand, liquidity or customer base.

A company’s reputation is a valuable business asset in its own right, 
essential to optimizing shareholder value and, as such, is constantly at 
risk. Reputational risk can arise as a consequence of any of the organi-
zation’s  activities  and  cannot  be  managed  in  isolation  from  other 
forms  of  risk.  All  risk  categories  can  have  an  impact  on  reputation, 
which in turn can impact the brand, earnings and capital.

WHO MANAGES REPUTATIONAL RISK
Ultimate responsibility for managing risks to TD’s reputation lies with 
the SET and the executive committees that examine reputational risk 
as  part  of  their regular  mandate.  The  enterprise Reputational Risk 
Committee is the executive committee with enterprise-wide responsi-
bility  for  making  decisions  on  reputational  risks.  The  Committee’s 
purpose is to ensure that new and existing business activities, transac-
tions, products or sales practices that are referred to it are reviewed at 
a sufficiently broad and senior level so that the associated reputational 
risk issues are fully considered.

In addition, every employee and representative of our organization 
has a responsibility to contribute in a positive way to our reputation. 
This means following ethical practices at all times, complying with 
applicable policies, legislation and regulations and ensuring our stake-
holder interactions are positive. Reputational risk is most effectively 
managed when every individual works continuously to protect and 
enhance our reputation.

HOW WE MANAGE REPUTATIONAL RISK
Our enterprise-wide Reputational Risk Management Policy is approved 
by the Risk Committee of the Board. This policy sets out the framework 
under which each business unit is required to implement a reputational 
risk policy and procedures. These include designating a business-level 
committee to review reputational risk issues and to identify issues to be 
brought to the enterprise Reputational Risk Committee.

We also have an enterprise-wide New Business and Product Approval 
Policy with defined and documented processes to approve new products 
and new business. This includes structured transactions in our Wholesale 
business. These processes involve committees with representation from 
the businesses and control functions, and include consideration of all 
aspects of a new product, including reputational risk.

Environmental Risk
Environmental risk is the possibility of loss of strategic, financial, opera-
tional or reputational value resulting from the impact of environmental 
issues or concerns within the scope of short-term and long-term cycles.
Management of environmental risk is an enterprise-wide priority. 

Key environmental risks include: 1) direct risks associated with the 
ownership and operation of our business, which includes management 
and operation of company-owned or managed real estate, fleet, busi-
ness operations and associated services; 2) indirect risks associated 
with the environmental performance or environmental events such 
as changing climate patterns that may impact our retail customers 
and of clients to whom TD provides financing or in which TD invests; 
3) identification and management of emerging environmental regula-
tory issues; and 4) failure to understand and appropriately leverage 
environment-related trends to meet customer and consumer demands 
for products and services.

TD BANK GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2013 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSISTD Ameritrade
HOW RISK IS MANAGED AT TD AMERITRADE
TD Ameritrade’s management is primarily responsible for managing 
risk at TD Ameritrade under the oversight of TD Ameritrade’s Board, 
particularly through its Risk Committee and Audit Committee of the 
Board. TD monitors the risk management process at TD Ameritrade 
through its participation in TD Ameritrade’s board and management 
governance and protocols.

Pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement in relation to the Bank’s 

equity investment  in TD Ameritrade, the Bank designated five of 
12 members of TD Ameritrade’s Board of Directors including the Bank’s 
Group President and Chief Executive Officer, its Executive Vice President 
of Retail Banking, Products and Services, two independent directors of 
TD and a former independent director of TD. TD Ameritrade’s bylaws, 
which state that the  Chief Executive Officer’s appointment requires 
approval  of two-thirds  of  the  Board, ensure the selection of TD 
Ameritrade’s  Chief  Executive Officer attains the broad support of the 
TD Ameritrade Board which currently would require the approval of at 
least one director designated by TD. The Stockholders Agreement 
stipulates that the Board committees of TD Ameritrade must include at 
least two TD designated directors, subject to TD’s percentage owner-
ship in TD Ameritrade and certain other limited exceptions. Currently, 
the directors we designate participate in a number of TD Ameritrade 
Board committees, including chairing the Audit Committee and the HR 
and Compensation Committee and participating in the Risk Committee 
and Corporate Governance Committee.

The terms of the Stockholders Agreement provide for certain infor-

mation sharing rights in favour of TD to the extent TD requires such 
information from TD Ameritrade to appropriately manage and evaluate 
its investment and to comply with its legal and regulatory obligations. 
Accordingly, management processes and protocols are aligned 
between TD and TD Ameritrade to coordinate necessary intercompany 
information flow. In addition to regular communication at the Chief 
Executive Officer level, regular operating reviews with TD Ameritrade 
permit TD to examine and discuss TD Ameritrade’s operating results 
and key risks. As well, certain functions such as Internal Audit, Finance 
and Compliance, have relationship protocols that allow for the sharing 
of information on risk and control issues. TD has established a compli-
ance committee, pursuant to a U.S. federal supervisory letter, which 
provides a holistic overview of key compliance issues and develop-
ments across all TD businesses in the U.S. including TD Ameritrade. 
Risk issues are reported up to TD’s Risk Committee as required.

WHO MANAGES ENVIRONMENTAL RISK
The Executive Vice President Community, Environment and Chief 
Marketing Officer holds senior executive accountability for environ-
mental management. The Executive Vice President is supported by 
the Chief Environment Officer who leads the Corporate Environmental 
Affairs team. The Corporate Environmental Affairs team is responsible 
for developing environmental strategy, setting environmental perfor-
mance standards and targets, and reporting on performance. There 
is also an enterprise-wide Environmental Steering Committee (ESC) 
composed of senior executives from TD’s main business segments and 
corporate functions. The ESC is responsible for approving environmen-
tal strategy and performance standards, and communicating these 
throughout the business. TD’s business segments are responsible for 
implementing the environmental strategy and managing associated 
risks within their units.

HOW WE MANAGE ENVIRONMENTAL RISK
We manage environmental risks within the Environmental Management 
System (EMS) which consists of three components: an Environmental 
Policy, an Environmental Management Framework and Environmental 
Procedures and Processes. Our EMS is consistent with the ISO 14001 
international  standard,  which  represents  industry  best  practice. 
Our  Environmental Policy reflects the global scope of TD’s   
environmental activities.

Within our Environmental Management Framework, we have identi-
fied a number of priority areas and have made voluntary commitments 
relating to these.

Our environmental performance is publicly reported within our annual 
Corporate Responsibility Report. Performance is reported according to the 
Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) and is independently assured.

TD’s global operations maintained carbon neutral status in 2013. 
We continued to make progress in meeting our voluntary environmental 
commitments to 1) reduce our carbon emissions by 1 tonne/employee by 
2015; and 2) reduce our North American paper usage by 20% by 2015 
(relative to a 2010 baseline).

During 2013, TD applied our Environmental and Social Credit Risk 

Management  Procedures  to  credit  and  lending  in  the  wholesale, 
commercial and retail businesses. These procedures include assessment 
of our clients’ policies, procedures and performance on material envi-
ronmental and related social issues, such as climate risk, biodiversity, 
water risk, stakeholder engagement and free, prior and informed 
consent of Aboriginal peoples. Within Wholesale Banking, sector-
specific guidelines have been developed for environmentally-sensitive 
sectors. TD has been a signatory to the Equator Principles since 2007 
and reports on Equator Principle projects within our annual Corporate 
Responsibility Report.

TDAM is a signatory to the United Nations Principles for Responsible 
Investment (UNPRI). Under the UNPRI, investors commit to incorporate 
environmental and social issues into investment analysis and decision-
making. TDAM applies its Sustainable Investing Policy across its opera-
tions. The Policy provides information on how TDAM is implementing 
the UNPRI.

We proactively monitor and assess policy and legislative developments, 

and  maintain  an  ‘open  door’  approach  with  environmental  and 
community  organizations,  industry  associations  and  responsible 
investment organizations.

TD BANK GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2013 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSISACCOUNTING STANDARDS AND POLICIES

Critical Accounting Estimates

The Bank’s accounting policies are essential to understanding its results 
of operations and financial condition. A summary of the Bank’s significant 
accounting policies and estimates are presented in the Notes to the 
Consolidated Financial Statements. Some of the Bank’s policies require 
subjective, complex judgments and estimates as they relate to matters 
that are inherently uncertain. Changes in these judgments or estimates 
could have a significant impact on the Bank’s Consolidated Financial 
Statements. The Bank has established procedures to ensure that account-
ing policies are applied consistently and that the processes for changing 
methodologies are well controlled and occur in an appropriate and 
systematic manner. In addition, the Bank’s critical accounting policies are 
reviewed with the Audit Committee on a periodic basis. Critical account-
ing policies that require management’s judgment and estimates include 
accounting for impairments of financial assets, the determination of fair 
value of financial instruments, accounting for derecognition, the valuation 
of goodwill and other intangibles, accounting for employee benefits, 
accounting for income taxes, accounting for provisions, accounting for 
insurance, and the consolidation of special purpose entities.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
The Bank’s Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in 
accordance with IFRS. For details of the Bank’s accounting policies and 
significant judgments, estimates and assumptions under IFRS, see 
Notes 2 and 3 to the Bank’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

Accounting Judgments, Estimates and Assumptions
The estimates used in the Bank’s accounting policies are essential to 
understanding its results of operations and financial condition. Some of 
the Bank’s policies require subjective, complex judgments and estimates 
as they relate to matters that are inherently uncertain. Changes in these 
judgments or estimates could have a significant impact on the Bank’s 
Consolidated Financial Statements. The Bank has established procedures 
to ensure that accounting policies are applied consistently and that the 
processes for changing methodologies for determining estimates are well 
controlled and occur in an appropriate and systematic manner.

IMPAIRMENT OF FINANCIAL ASSETS
Available-for-Sale Securities
Impairment losses are recognized on available-for-sale securities, if 
there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more 
events that have occurred after initial recognition (a ‘loss event’) and 
the loss event(s) results in a decrease in the estimated cash flows of the 
instrument. The Bank individually reviews these securities at least quar-
terly for the presence of these conditions. For available-for-sale equity 
securities, a significant or prolonged decline in fair value below cost is 
considered objective evidence of impairment. For available-for-sale 
debt securities, a deterioration of credit quality is considered objective 
evidence of impairment. Other factors considered in the impairment 
assessment include financial position and key financial indicators of the 
issuer of the instrument, significant past and continued losses of the 
issuer, as well as breaches of contract, including default or delinquency 
in interest payments and loan covenant violations.

Held-to-Maturity Securities
Impairment losses are recognized on held-to-maturity securities if there 
is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events 
that have occurred after initial recognition (a ‘loss event’) and the loss 
event(s) results in a decrease in the estimated cash flows of the instru-
ment. The Bank reviews these securities at least quarterly for impair-
ment at the counter-party specific level. If there is no objective evidence 
of impairment at the counter-party specific level then the security is 
grouped with other held-to-maturity securities with similar credit risk 
characteristics and collectively assessed for impairment, which considers 
losses incurred but not identified. A deterioration of credit quality is 
considered objective evidence of impairment. Other factors considered 
in the impairment assessment include the financial position and key 
financial indicators of the issuer, significant past and continued losses 
of the issuer, as well as breaches of contract, including default or 
delinquency in interest payments and loan covenant violations.

Loans
A loan (including a debt security classified as a loan) is considered 
impaired when there is objective evidence that there has been a deteri-
oration of credit quality subsequent to the initial recognition of the 
loan (a ‘loss event’) to the extent the Bank no longer has reasonable 
assurance as to the timely collection of the full amount of principal 
and interest. The Bank assesses loans for objective evidence of impair-
ment individually for loans that are individually significant, and collec-
tively for loans that are not individually significant. The allowance for 
credit losses represents management’s best estimate of impairment 
incurred in the lending portfolios, including any off-balance sheet 
exposures, at the balance sheet date. Management exercises judgment 
as to the timing of designating a loan as impaired, the amount of the 
allowance required, and the amount that will be recovered once the 
borrower defaults. Changes in the amount that management expects 
to recover would have a direct impact on the provision for credit losses 
and may result in a change in the allowance for credit losses.

If there is no objective evidence of impairment for an individual 
loan, whether significant or not, the loan is included in a group of 
assets with similar credit risk characteristics and collectively assessed 
for impairment for losses incurred but not identified. In calculating 
the probable range of allowance for incurred but not identified credit 
losses, the Bank employs internally developed models that utilize 
parameters for probability of default, loss given default and exposure 
at default. Management’s judgment is used to determine the point 
within the range that is the best estimate of losses, based on an 
assessment  of  business  and  economic  conditions,  historical  loss 
experience, loan portfolio composition, and other relevant indicators 
that are not fully incorporated into the model calculation. Changes 
in these assumptions would have a direct impact on the provision for 
incurred but not identified credit losses and may result in a change 
in the related allowance for credit losses.

102

TD BANK GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2013 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSISDETERMINATION OF FAIR VALUE
The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets at the 
balance sheet date is based on their quoted market prices. For all other 
financial instruments not traded in an active market, fair value may be 
based on other observable current market transactions involving the 
same instrument, without modification or repackaging, or is based on 
a valuation technique which maximizes the use of observable market 
inputs. Observable market inputs may include interest rate yield curves, 
foreign exchange rates, and option volatilities. Valuation techniques 
include comparisons with similar instruments where observable market 
prices exist, discounted cash flow analysis, option pricing models, and 
other valuation techniques commonly used by market participants.
For certain complex or illiquid financial instruments, fair value is 
determined using valuation techniques in which current market trans-
actions or observable market inputs are not available. Determining 
which valuation technique to apply requires judgment. The valuation 
techniques themselves also involve some level of estimation and judg-
ment. The judgments include liquidity considerations and model inputs 
such as volatilities, correlation, spreads, discount rates, pre-payment 
rates, and prices of underlying instruments. Any imprecision in these 
estimates can affect the resulting fair value.

The inherent nature of private equity investing is that the Bank’s 
valuation will change over time as the underlying investment matures 
and an exit strategy is developed and realized. Estimates of fair value 
may also fluctuate due to developments in the business underlying the 
investment. Such fluctuations may be significant depending on the 
nature of the factors going into the valuation methodology and the 
extent of change in those factors.

Judgment is also used in recording fair value adjustments to model 
valuations to account for measurement uncertainty when valuing complex 
and less actively traded financial instruments. If the market for a complex 
financial instrument develops, the pricing for this instrument may become 
more transparent, resulting in refinement of valuation models.

An analysis of fair values of financial instruments and further details 

as to how they are measured are provided in Note 5 to the Bank’s 
Consolidated Financial Statements.

DERECOGNITION
Certain assets transferred may qualify for derecognition from the Bank’s 
Consolidated Balance Sheet. To qualify for derecognition, certain key 
determinations must be made. A decision must be made as to whether 
the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets has been 
retained or transferred and the extent to which the risks and rewards 
of ownership of the financial asset has been retained or transferred. 
If the Bank neither transfers nor retains substantially all of the risks 
and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, a decision must be 
made as to whether the Bank has retained control of the financial 
asset. Upon derecognition, the Bank will record a gain or loss on sale 
of those assets which is calculated as the difference between the carry-
ing amount of the asset transferred and the sum of any cash proceeds 
received, including any financial asset received or financial liability 
assumed, and any cumulative gain or loss allocated to the transferred 
asset that had been recognized in other comprehensive income. In 
determining the fair value of any financial asset received, the Bank 
estimates future cash flows by relying on estimates of the amount 
of interest that will be collected on the securitized assets, the yield 
to be paid to investors, the portion of the securitized assets that will 
be  prepaid  before  their  scheduled  maturity,  expected  credit  losses, 
the cost of servicing the assets and the rate at which to discount these 

expected future cash flows. Actual cash flows may differ significantly 
from those estimated by the Bank. Retained interests are classified as 
trading securities and are initially recognized at relative fair value on 
the Bank’s Consolidated Balance Sheet. Subsequently, the fair value of 
retained interests recognized by the Bank is determined by estimating 
the present value of future expected cash flows using management’s 
best estimates of key assumptions including credit losses, prepayment 
rates, forward yield curves and discount rates, and commensurate with 
the risks involved. Differences between the actual cash flows and the 
Bank’s estimate of future cash flows are recognized in income. These 
assumptions are subject to periodic review and may change due to 
significant changes in the economic environment.

GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLES
The fair value of the Bank’s cash-generating units (CGUs) is determined 
from internally developed valuation models that consider various factors 
and assumptions such as forecasted earnings, growth rates, price earn-
ings multiples, discount rates and terminal multiples. Management is 
required to use judgment in estimating the fair value of CGUs and the 
use of different assumptions and estimates in the fair value calcula-
tions could influence the determination of the existence of impairment 
and the valuation of goodwill. Management believes that the assump-
tions and estimates used are reasonable and supportable. Where possi-
ble, fair values generated internally are compared to relevant market 
information. The carrying amounts of the Bank’s CGUs are determined 
by management using risk based capital models to adjust net assets 
and liabilities by CGU. These models consider various factors including 
market risk, credit risk and operational risk, including investment capital 
(comprised of goodwill and other intangibles). Any unallocated capital not 
directly attributable to the CGUs is held within the Corporate segment. 
The Bank’s capital oversight committees provide oversight to the Bank’s 
capital allocation methodologies.

EMPLOYEE BENEFITS
The projected benefit obligation and expense related to the Bank’s 
pension and non-pension post-retirement benefit plans are determined 
using multiple assumptions that may significantly influence the value 
of these amounts. Actuarial assumptions including expected long-term 
return on plan assets, compensation increases, health care cost trend 
rate, mortality rate, and discount rate are management’s best esti-
mates and are reviewed annually with the Bank’s actuaries. The Bank 
develops each assumption using relevant historical experience of the 
Bank in conjunction with market-related data and considers if the 
market-related data indicates there is any prolonged or significant 
impact on the assumptions. The discount rate used to measure plan 
obligations is based on long-term high quality corporate bond yields 
as at October 31. The expected long-term return on plan assets is 
based on historical returns and future expectations for returns for each 
asset class, as well as the target asset allocation of the fund. The other 
assumptions are also long-term estimates. All assumptions are subject 
to a degree of uncertainty. Differences between actual experience and 
the assumptions, as well as changes in the assumptions resulting from 
changes in future expectations, result in increases or decreases in the 
pension and non-pension post-retirement benefit plans obligations 
and expenses in future years.

103

TD BANK GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2013 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSISINCOME TAXES
The Bank is subject to taxation in numerous jurisdictions. There are 
many transactions and calculations in the ordinary course of business 
for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. The Bank main-
tains provisions for uncertain tax positions that it believes appropriately 
reflect the risk of tax positions under discussion, audit, dispute, or 
appeal with tax authorities, or which are otherwise considered to 
involve uncertainty. These provisions are made using the Bank’s best 
estimate of the amount expected to be paid based on an assessment 
of all relevant factors, which are reviewed at the end of each reporting 
period. However, it is possible that at some future date, an additional 
liability could result from audits by the relevant taxing authorities.

Deferred tax assets are recognized only when it is probable that 

sufficient taxable profit will be available in future periods against 
which deductible temporary differences may be utilized. The amount 
of the deferred tax asset recognized and considered realizable could, 
however, be reduced if projected income is not achieved due to vari-
ous factors, such as unfavourable business conditions. If projected 
income is not expected to be achieved, the Bank would decrease its 
deferred tax assets to the amount that it believes can be realized. 
The  magnitude of the decrease is significantly influenced by the Bank’s 
forecast of future profit generation, which determines the extent to 
which it will be able to utilize the deferred tax assets.

PROVISIONS
Provisions arise when there is some uncertainty in the timing or 
amount of a loss in the future. Provisions are based on the Bank’s best 
estimate of all expenditures required to settle its present obligations, 
considering all relevant risks and uncertainties, as well as, when mate-
rial, the effect of the time value of money.

Many of the Bank’s provisions relate to various legal actions that the 
Bank is involved in during the ordinary course of business. Legal provi-
sions require the involvement of both the Bank’s management and 
legal counsel when assessing the probability of a loss and estimating 
any monetary impact. Throughout the life of a provision, the Bank’s 
management or legal counsel may learn of additional information that 
may impact its assessments about the probability of loss or about the 
estimates of amounts involved. Changes in these assessments may lead 
to changes in the amount recorded for provisions. In addition, the 
actual costs of resolving these claims may be substantially higher or 
lower than the amounts recognized. The Bank reviews its legal provi-
sions on a case-by-case basis after considering, among other factors, 
the progress of each case, the Bank’s experience, the experience of 
others in similar cases, and the opinions and views of legal counsel.

Certain of the Bank’s provisions relate to restructuring initiatives 

initiated by the Bank to reduce costs in a sustainable manner and 
achieve greater operational efficiencies. Restructuring provisions 
require management’s best estimate, including forecasts of economic 
conditions. Throughout the life of a provision, the Bank may become 
aware of additional information that may impact the assessment of 
amounts to be incurred. Changes in these assessments may lead to 
changes in the amount recorded for provisions.

INSURANCE
The assumptions used in establishing the Bank’s insurance claims and 
policy benefit liabilities are based on best estimates of possible outcomes.

For property and casualty insurance, the ultimate cost of claims 
liabilities  is  estimated  using  a  range  of  standard  actuarial  claims 
projection techniques in accordance with Canadian accepted actuarial 
practices. The main assumption underlying these techniques is that a 
company’s past claims development experience can be used to project 
future claims development and hence ultimate claims costs. As such, 
these methods extrapolate the development of paid and incurred losses, 
average costs per claim and claim numbers based on the observed 
development of earlier years and expected loss ratios. Additional quali-
tative judgment is used to assess the extent to which past trends may 
or may not apply in the future, in order to arrive at the estimated ulti-
mate claims cost that present the most likely outcome.

For life and health insurance, actuarial liabilities consider all future 
policy cash flows, including premiums, claims, and expenses required 
to administer the policies.

The Bank’s mortality assumptions have been derived from a combi-

nation of its own experience and industry experience. Policyholders 
may allow their policies to lapse by choosing not to continue to pay 
premiums. The Bank bases its estimates of future lapse rates on previ-
ous experience when available, or industry experience. Estimates of 
future policy administration expenses are based on the Bank’s previous 
and expected future experience.

CONSOLIDATION OF SPECIAL PURPOSE ENTITIES
Management judgment is required when assessing whether the Bank 
should consolidate an entity, particularly complex entities. An example of 
such judgment is to determine whether an entity meets the definition of 
an  SPE,  and  if  so,  whether  all  the  relevant  facts  and  circumstances, 
when considered together, would indicate that the Bank controls such 
an SPE, including an analysis of the Bank’s exposure to the risks and 
rewards of the SPE. These judgments are discussed further in Note 2 
to the Bank’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

ACCOUNTING STANDARDS AND POLICIES

Current and Future Changes in Accounting Policies

CURRENT CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following amendment has been adopted by the Bank.

Presentation of Other Comprehensive Income
Effective November 1, 2012, the Bank adopted the amendments to IAS 1, 
Presentation of Financial Statements (IAS 1), issued in June 2011, which 
require entities to group items presented in other comprehensive income 
on the basis of whether they might be reclassified to the Consolidated 
Statement of Income in subsequent periods and items that will not be 
reclassified to the Consolidated Statement of Income. The amendments 
did not address which items are presented in other comprehensive income 
and did not change the option to present items net of tax. The amend-
ments to IAS 1 were applied retrospectively and did not have a material 
impact on the financial position, cash flows or earnings of the Bank.

FUTURE CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The IASB continues to make changes to IFRS to improve the overall 
quality of financial reporting. The Bank is actively monitoring all of the 
IASB’s projects that are relevant to the Bank’s financial reporting and 
accounting policies. Issued standards which are effective for the Bank 
in the future are discussed in Note 4 to the Bank’s Consolidated 
Financial Statements.

TD BANK GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2013 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSISACCOUNTING STANDARDS AND POLICIES

Controls and Procedures

DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
An evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the 
participation of the Bank’s management, including the Chief Executive 
Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the Bank’s 
disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in the rules of the SEC 
and  Canadian  Securities  Administrators,  as  of  October  31,  2013. 
Based on that evaluation, the Bank’s management, including the Chief 
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that the Bank’s 
disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of October 31, 2013.

MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER 
FINANCIAL REPORTING
The Bank’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining 
adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Bank. The 
Bank’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies 
and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records, that, 
in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and 
dispositions of the assets of the Bank; (2) provide reasonable assur-
ance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation 
of financial statements in accordance with IFRS, and that receipts 
and expenditures of the Bank are being made only in accordance with 
authorizations of the Bank’s management and directors; and (3) provide 
reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unau-
thorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Bank’s assets that could 
have a material effect on the financial statements.

The Bank’s management has used the criteria established in 1992 
Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of 
Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission to assess, with 
the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial 
Officer, the effectiveness of the Bank’s internal control over financial 
reporting. Based on this assessment management has concluded that 
as at October 31, 2013, the Bank’s internal control over financial 
reporting was effective based on the applicable criteria. The effective-
ness of the Bank’s internal control over financial reporting has been 
audited by the independent auditors, Ernst & Young LLP, a registered 
public accounting firm that has also audited the Consolidated Financial 
Statements of the Bank as of and for the year ended October 31, 
2013. Their Report on Internal Controls under Standards of the Public 
Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), included in the 
Consolidated Financial Statements, expresses an unqualified opinion 
on the effectiveness of the Bank’s internal control over financial 
reporting as of October 31, 2013.

CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
During the year and quarter ended October 31, 2013, there have been 
no changes in the Bank’s policies and procedures and other processes 
that comprise its internal control over financial reporting, that have 
materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the 
Bank’s internal control over financial reporting.

Consolidated Financial Statements

MANAGEMENT’S RESPONSIBILITY FOR  
FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The management of The Toronto-Dominion Bank and its subsidiaries (the 
“Bank”) is responsible for the integrity, consistency, objectivity and reliability 
of the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Bank and related financial 
information as presented. International Financial Reporting Standards as 
issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, as well as the 
requirements of the Bank Act (Canada) (“Bank Act”) and related regula-
tions have been applied and management has exercised its judgment and 
made best estimates where appropriate.

The Bank’s accounting system and related internal controls are designed, 

and supporting procedures maintained, to provide reasonable assurance 
that financial records are complete and accurate and that assets are safe-
guarded against loss from unauthorized use or disposition. These supporting 
procedures include the careful selection and training of qualified staff, the 
establishment of organizational structures providing a well-defined division 
of responsibilities and accountability for performance, and the communica-
tion of policies and guidelines of business conduct throughout the Bank.

Management has assessed the effectiveness of the Bank’s internal control 
over financial reporting as at October 31, 2013 using the framework found 
in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of 
Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission 1992 Framework. 
Based upon this assessment, management has concluded that as at  
October 31, 2013, the Bank’s internal control over financial reporting  
is effective. 

The Bank’s Board of Directors, acting through the Audit Committee 

which is composed entirely of independent directors, oversees management’s 
responsibilities for financial reporting. The Audit Committee reviews the 
Consolidated Financial Statements and recommends them to the Board for 
approval. Other responsibilities of the Audit Committee include monitoring 
the Bank’s system of internal control over the financial reporting process 
and making recommendations to the Board and shareholders regarding the 
appointment of the external auditor. 

The Bank’s Chief Auditor, who has full and free access to the Audit 

Committee, conducts an extensive program of audits. This program 
supports the system of internal control and is carried out by a professional 
staff of auditors.

The Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions, Canada, makes 
such examination and enquiry into the affairs of the Bank as deemed neces-
sary to ensure that the provisions of the Bank Act, having reference to the 
safety of the depositors, are being duly observed and that the Bank is in 
sound financial condition.

Ernst & Young LLP, the independent auditors appointed by the share-
holders of the Bank, have audited the effectiveness of the Bank’s internal 
control over financial reporting as at October 31, 2013 in addition to audit-
ing the Bank’s Consolidated Financial Statements as of the same date. 
Their reports, which expressed an unqualified opinion, can be found on the 
following pages of the Consolidated Financial Statements. Ernst & Young 
LLP have full and free access to, and meet periodically with, the Audit 
Committee to discuss their audit and matters arising there from, such as, 
comments they may have on the fairness of financial reporting and the 
adequacy of internal controls.

TD BANK GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2013 FINANCIAL RESULTS 
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORTS OF REGISTERED PUBLIC 
ACCOUNTING FIRM TO SHAREHOLDERS
Report on Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of The 
Toronto-Dominion Bank, which comprise the Consolidated Balance Sheet as 
at October 31, 2013 and 2012, and the Consolidated Statements of Income, 
Comprehensive Income, Changes in Equity, and Cash Flows for the years 
ended October 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011, and a summary of significant 
accounting policies and other explanatory information. 

Management’s responsibility for the consolidated  
financial statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of 
these consolidated financial statements in accordance with International 
Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting 
Standards Board, and for such internal control as management determines 
is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements 
that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditors’ responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial 
statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance 
with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards and the standards 
of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those 
standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan 
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the 
consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about 

the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. 
The procedures selected depend on the auditors’ judgment, including 
the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated 
financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk 
assessments, the auditors consider internal control relevant to the entity’s 
preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in 
order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. 
An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the 

amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, evaluat-
ing the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness 
of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the 
overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained in our audits is 

sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all 
material respects, the financial position of The Toronto-Dominion Bank as 
at October 31, 2013 and 2012, and its financial performance and its cash 
flows for the years ended October 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, in accordance 
with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the Interna-
tional Accounting Standards Board.

Other matter
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public 
Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), The Toronto-Dominion 
Bank’s internal control over financial reporting as of October 31, 2013, based 
on the criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued 
by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commis-
sion 1992 Framework and our report dated December 4, 2013 expressed an 
unqualified opinion on The Toronto-Dominion Bank’s internal control over 
financial reporting.

TD BANK GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2013 FINANCIAL RESULTSINDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT OF REGISTERED PUBLIC 
ACCOUNTING FIRM TO SHAREHOLDERS
Report on Internal Control under Standards of the Public Company 
Accounting Oversight Board (United States)
We have audited The Toronto-Dominion Bank’s internal control over  
financial reporting as of October 31, 2013, based on criteria established  
in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of  
Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission 1992 Framework 
(the COSO criteria). The Toronto-Dominion Bank’s management is respon-
sible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and 
for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial 
reporting included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal 
Control over Financial Reporting contained in the accompanying Manage-
ment’s Discussion and Analysis. Our responsibility is to express an opinion 
on The Toronto-Dominion Bank’s internal control over financial reporting 
based on our audit. 

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public 

Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards 
require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance 
about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was main-
tained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding 
of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material 
weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effective-
ness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such 
other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We 
believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process 
designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of 
financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external 
purposes in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards 
as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IFRS”). A 
company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies 
and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in 
reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and disposi-
tions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that 

transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial 
statements in accordance with IFRS, and that receipts and expenditures 
of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations 
of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable 
assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisi-
tion, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material 
effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial report-

ing may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any 
evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that 
controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that 
the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In our opinion, The Toronto-Dominion Bank maintained, in all material 
respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of October 31, 
2013, based on the COSO criteria.

We also have audited, in accordance with Canadian generally accepted 

auditing standards and the standards of the Public Company Accounting 
Oversight Board (United States), the Consolidated Balance Sheet of The 
Toronto-Dominion Bank as at October 31, 2013 and 2012, and the  
Consolidated Statements of Income, Comprehensive Income, Changes  
in Equity, and Cash Flows for each of the years in the three-year period 
ended October 31, 2013 of The Toronto-Dominion Bank and our report 
dated December 4, 2013 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

N O T E   1

NATURE OF OPERATIONS

CORPORATE INFORMATION 
The Toronto-Dominion Bank is a bank chartered under the Bank Act. 
The shareholders of a bank are not, as shareholders, liable for any 
liability, act or default of the bank except as otherwise provided under 
the Bank Act. The Toronto-Dominion Bank and its subsidiaries are 
collectively known as TD Bank Group (“TD” or the “Bank”). The Bank 
was formed through the amalgamation on February 1, 1955 of The 
Bank of Toronto (chartered in 1855) and The Dominion Bank (chartered 
in 1869). The Bank is incorporated and domiciled in Canada with its 
registered and principal business offices located at 66 Wellington Street 
West, Toronto, Ontario. TD serves customers in four key segments 
operating in a number of locations in key financial centres around the 
globe: Canadian Personal and Commercial Banking, Wealth and Insur-
ance, U.S. Personal and Commercial Banking, and Wholesale Banking.

BASIS OF PREPARATION
The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements and accounting 
principles followed by the Bank have been prepared in accordance 
with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as issued by  
the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), including the 
accounting requirements of the Office of the Superintendent of  
Financial Institutions Canada (OSFI). 

The preparation of financial statements requires that management 
make estimates, assumptions and judgments regarding the reported 
amount of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and disclosure  
of contingent assets and liabilities, as further described in Note 3. 
Accordingly, actual results may differ from estimated amounts as 
future confirming events occur.

The Consolidated Financial Statements of the Bank for the year 
ended October 31, 2013 were approved and authorized for issue by 
the Bank’s Board of Directors, in accordance with the recommendation 
of the Audit Committee, on December 4, 2013. 

The Bank’s Consolidated Financial Statements were previously 

prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting 
principles (GAAP). The comparative figures for 2011 were restated to 
reflect transitional adjustments to comply with IFRS. 

Certain disclosures are included in the shaded sections of the 

“Managing Risk” section of the MD&A in this report, as permitted by 
IFRS, and form an integral part of the Consolidated Financial Statements. 
Certain comparative amounts have been reclassified to conform with 
the presentation adopted in the current year. The Consolidated Financial 
Statements were prepared under a historical cost basis, except for 
certain items carried at fair value as discussed below.

N O T E   2

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION
The Consolidated Financial Statements include the assets, liabilities, 
results of operations, and cash flows of the Bank and its subsidiaries 
including certain special purpose entities (SPEs) which it controls. The 
Bank controls entities when it has the power to govern the financial 
and operating policies of the entity, generally when the Bank owns, 
directly or indirectly, more than half of the voting power of the entity. 
The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently 
exercisable or convertible are considered in assessing whether the Bank 
controls an entity. The Bank’s Consolidated Financial Statements have 
been prepared using uniform accounting policies for like transactions 
and events in similar circumstances. All intercompany transactions, 
balances and unrealized gains and losses on transactions are elimi-
nated on consolidation.

Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are corporations or other legal entities controlled by the 
Bank, generally through directly holding more than half of the voting 
power of the entity. The existence and effect of potential voting rights 
that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered in assessing 
whether the Bank controls an entity. Subsidiaries are consolidated 
from the date the Bank obtains control and continue to be consoli-
dated until the date when control ceases to exist. 

Special Purpose Entities 
SPEs are entities that are created to accomplish a narrow and well-
defined objective. SPEs may take the form of a corporation, trust,  
partnership or unincorporated entity. SPEs often are created with legal 
arrangements that impose limits on the decision-making powers of 
their governing board, trustee or management over the operations  
of the SPE. 

Typically, SPEs may not be controlled directly through holding more 

than half of the voting power of the entity. As a result, SPEs are 
consolidated when the substance of the relationship between the Bank 
and the SPE indicates that the SPE is controlled by the Bank. When 
assessing whether the Bank has to consolidate an SPE, the Bank evalu-
ates a range of factors, including whether, in substance:
•   The activities of the SPE are being conducted on the Bank’s behalf 

according to its specific business needs so that the Bank obtains the 
benefits from the SPE’s operations;

•   The Bank has the decision-making powers to obtain the majority  

of the benefits of the activities of the SPE;

•   The Bank has rights to obtain the majority of the benefits of the  

SPE and therefore may be exposed to risks arising from the activities 
of the SPE; or

•   The Bank retains the majority of the residual or ownership risk 

related to the SPE or its assets in order to obtain the benefits from 
its activities.

Consolidation conclusions need to be reassessed at the end of each 
financial reporting period. The Bank’s policy is to consider the impact 
on consolidation of all significant changes in circumstances, focusing 
on the following:
•   Substantive changes in ownership, such as the purchase of more 

than an insignificant additional interest, or disposal of more than an 
insignificant interest in an entity;

•   Changes in contractual or governance arrangements of an entity;
•   Additional activities undertaken, such as providing a liquidity facility 
beyond the terms established originally, or entering into a transac-
tion that was not originally contemplated; or
•   Changes in the financing structure of an entity.

TD BANK GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2013 FINANCIAL RESULTSInvestments in Associates and Jointly Controlled Entities
Entities over which the Bank has significant influence are associates 
and are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Signifi-
cant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating 
policy decisions of an investee, but is not control or joint control over 
these entities. Investments in associates are carried on the Consoli-
dated Balance Sheet initially at cost and increased or decreased to 
recognize the Bank’s share of the profit or loss of the associate, capital 
transactions, including the receipt of any dividends, and write-downs 
to reflect impairment in the value of such entities. These increases or 
decreases, together with any gains and losses realized on disposition, 
are reported on the Consolidated Statement of Income. The Bank’s 
equity share in TD Ameritrade’s earnings is reported on a one month 
lag basis. The Bank takes into account changes in the subsequent 
period that would significantly affect the results.

The proportionate consolidation method is used to account for 
investments in which the Bank exercises joint control. Only the Bank’s 
pro-rata share of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses is consolidated.
At each balance sheet date, the Bank assesses whether there is  
any objective evidence that the investment in an associate or jointly 
controlled entity is impaired. The Bank calculates the amount of 
impairment as the difference between the higher of fair value or  
value-in-use and its carrying value.

Non-controlling Interests 
When the Bank does not own all of the equity of the subsidiary, the 
minority shareholders’ interest is presented on the Consolidated 
Balance Sheet as non-controlling interests in subsidiaries as a compo-
nent of total equity, separate from the equity of the Bank’s share-
holders. The income attributable to the minority interest holders, net 
of tax, is presented as a separate line item on the Consolidated  
Statement of Income.

CASH AND DUE FROM BANKS
Cash and due from banks consist of cash and amounts due from banks 
which are issued by investment grade financial institutions. These 
amounts are due on demand or have an original maturity of three 
months or less.

REVENUE RECOGNITION
Revenue is recognized to the extent that it is probable that the 
economic benefits will flow to the Bank and the revenue can be reliably 
measured. Revenue associated with the rendering of services is recog-
nized by reference to the stage of completion of the transaction at the 
end of the reporting period. 

Investment and securities services income include asset management 

fees, administration and commission fees, and investment banking 
fees. Asset management fees and administration and commission fees 
include income from investment management and related services, 
custody and institutional trust services and brokerage services, which 
are recognized as income over the period in which the related service 
is rendered. Investment banking fees, including advisory fees, are 
recognized as income when earned, and underwriting fees, are recog-
nized as income when the Bank has rendered all services to the issuer 
and is entitled to collect the fee.

Credit fees include commissions, liquidity fees, restructuring fees, 

and loan syndication fees and are recognized as earned.

Interest from interest-bearing assets and liabilities is recognized as 

interest income using the effective interest rate (EIR). EIR is the rate 
that discounts expected future cash flows for the expected life of the 
financial instrument to its carrying value. The calculation takes into 
account the contractual interest rate, along with any fees or incremen-
tal costs that are directly attributable to the instrument and all other 
premiums or discounts.

Card services income including interchange income from credit and 
debit cards and annual fees, is recognized as earned, except for annual 
fees, which are recognized over a 12-month period. Service charges 
and trust fee income are recognized as earned. 

Revenue recognition policies related to financial instruments and 

insurance are described in the accounting policies below.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS OTHER THAN DERIVATIVES
Trading Assets and Trading Liabilities
Financial instruments are included within the trading portfolio if they 
have been originated, acquired or incurred principally for the purpose 
of selling or repurchasing in the near term, or they form part of a  
portfolio of identified financial instruments that are managed together 
and for which there is evidence of a recent actual pattern of short-
term profit-taking.

Included within the trading portfolio are trading securities, trading 
loans, trading deposits, securitization liabilities at fair value, obligations 
related to securities sold short, and physical commodities, as well as 
certain financing-type commodities transactions that are recorded on 
the Consolidated Balance Sheet as Securities purchased under reverse 
repurchase agreements and Obligations related to securities sold under 
repurchase agreements, respectively.

Trading portfolio assets and liabilities are recognized on a trade  
date basis and are accounted for at fair value, with changes in fair 
value as well as any gains or losses realized on disposal recognized in 
trading income. Physical commodities are measured at fair value less 
costs to sell. Transaction costs are expensed as incurred. Dividends  
are recognized on the ex-dividend date and interest is recognized  
on an accrual basis using the effective interest rate method (EIRM). 
Both dividends and interest are included in interest income or  
interest expense.

Designated at Fair Value through Profit or Loss
Certain financial assets and liabilities that do not meet the definition  
of trading may be designated at fair value through profit or loss. To  
be designated at fair value through profit or loss, financial assets or 
liabilities must meet one of the following criteria: (1) the designation 
eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition 
inconsistency; (2) a group of financial assets or liabilities, or both, is 
managed and its performance is evaluated on a fair value basis in 
accordance with a documented risk management or investment strat-
egy; or (3) the instrument contains one or more embedded derivatives 
unless: (a) the embedded derivative does not significantly modify the 
cash flows that otherwise would be required by the contract; or (b) it is 
clear with little or no analysis that separation of the embedded deriva-
tive from the financial instrument is prohibited. In addition, the fair 
value through profit or loss designation is available only for those 
financial instruments for which a reliable estimate of fair value can be 
obtained. Once financial assets and liabilities are designated at fair 
value through profit or loss, the designation is irrevocable. 

Assets and liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss 

are carried at fair value on the Consolidated Balance Sheet, with 
changes in fair value as well as any gains or losses realized on disposal 
recognized in other income. Interest is recognized on an accrual basis 
using the EIRM and is included in interest income or interest expense.

Available-for-Sale Securities 
Financial instruments not classified as trading, designated at fair  
value through profit or loss, held-to-maturity or loans, are classified as 
available-for-sale and include equity securities and debt securities.

Available-for-sale securities are recognized on a trade date basis  
and are carried at fair value on the Consolidated Balance Sheet with 
changes in fair value recognized in other comprehensive income.

Gains and losses realized on disposal of instruments classified as 

available-for-sale are calculated on an average cost basis and are 
recognized in net securities gains (losses) in non-interest income.  
Dividends are recognized on the ex-dividend date and interest income 
is recognized on an accrual basis using the EIRM. Both dividends and 
interest are included in interest income.

122

TD BANK GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2013 FINANCIAL RESULTSImpairment losses are recognized if there is objective evidence  
of impairment as a result of one or more events that have occurred  
(a ‘loss event’) and the loss event(s) results in a decrease in the esti-
mated future cash flows of the instrument. A significant or prolonged 
decline in fair value below cost is considered objective evidence of 
impairment for available-for-sale equity securities. A deterioration in 
credit quality is considered objective evidence of impairment for avail-
able-for-sale debt securities. Qualitative factors are also considered 
when assessing impairment for available-for-sale securities. When 
impairment is identified, the cumulative net loss previously recognized 
in other comprehensive income, less any impairment loss previously 
recognized on the Consolidated Statement of Income, is removed from 
other comprehensive income and recognized in net securities gains 
(losses) in non-interest income. 

If the fair value of a previously impaired equity security subsequently 
increases, the impairment loss is not reversed through the Consolidated 
Statement of Income. Subsequent increases in fair value are recog-
nized in other comprehensive income. If the fair value of a previously 
impaired debt security subsequently increases and the increase can be 
objectively related to an event occurring after the impairment was 
recognized on the Consolidated Statement of Income, then the impair-
ment loss is reversed through the Consolidated Statement of Income. 
An increase in fair value in excess of impairment recognized previously 
on the Consolidated Statement of Income is recognized in other 
comprehensive income.

Held-to-Maturity Securities
Debt securities with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturity 
dates, that do not meet the definition of loans and receivables, and 
that the Bank intends and has the ability to hold to maturity are classi-
fied as held-to-maturity and are carried at amortized cost, net of 
impairment losses. Securities classified as held-to-maturity are assessed 
for objective evidence of impairment at the counterparty-specific level. 
If there is no objective evidence of impairment at the counter-party 
specific level then the security is grouped with other held-to-maturity 
securities with similar credit risk characteristics and collectively assessed 
for impairment, which considers losses incurred but not identified. 
Interest income is recognized using the EIRM and is included in Interest 
income on the Consolidated Statement of Income.

Loans and Allowance for Loan Losses
Loans
Loans are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable 
payments that the Bank does not intend to sell immediately or in the 
near term and that are not quoted in an active market. Loans are 
carried at amortized cost on the Consolidated Balance Sheet, net of  
an allowance for loan losses, write-offs and unearned income, which 
includes prepaid interest, loan origination fees and costs, commitment 
fees, loan syndication fees, and unamortized discounts or premiums.
Interest income is recognized using the EIRM. The EIR is the rate 
that exactly discounts estimated future cash flows over the expected 
life of the loan. Loan origination fees and costs are considered to be 
adjustments to the loan yield and are recognized in interest income 
over the term of the loan.

Commitment fees are recognized in credit fees over the commit-
ment period when it is unlikely that the commitment will be called 
upon; otherwise, they are recognized in interest income over the term 
of the resulting loan. Loan syndication fees are recognized in credit 
fees upon completion of the financing placement unless the yield on 
any loan retained by the Bank is less than that of other comparable 
lenders involved in the financing syndicate. In such cases, an appropri-
ate portion of the fee is recognized as a yield adjustment to interest 
income over the term of the loan.

Loan Impairment and the Allowance for Credit Losses, Excluding 
Acquired Credit-Impaired Loans
A loan (including a debt security classified as a loan) is considered 
impaired when there is objective evidence that there has been a  
deterioration of credit quality subsequent to the initial recognition  
of the loan (a ‘loss event’) to the extent the Bank no longer has 
reasonable assurance as to the timely collection of the full amount  
of principal and interest. Indicators of impairment could include,  
but are not limited to, one or more of the following:
•  Significant financial difficulty of the issuer or obligor;
•   A breach of contract, such as a default or delinquency in interest  

or principal payments;

•   Increased probability that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or 

other financial reorganization; or

•   The disappearance of an active market for that financial asset.

A loan will be reclassified back to performing status when it has  
been determined that there is reasonable assurance of full and timely 
repayment of interest and principal in accordance with the original  
or revised contractual conditions of the loan and all criteria for the 
impaired classification have been remedied. In cases where a borrower 
experiences financial difficulties the Bank may grant certain conces-
sionary modifications to terms and conditions of a loan. Modifications 
may include extension of amortization periods, rate reductions, principal 
forgiveness, forbearance and other modifications intended to minimize 
the economic loss and to avoid foreclosure or repossession of collateral. 
If the modified loan’s estimated realizable value, discounted at the 
original loan’s EIR has decreased as a result of the modification, addi-
tional impairment is recorded. Once modified, if management expects 
full collection of payments under the revised loan terms, the loan is  
no longer considered impaired.

The allowance for credit losses represents management’s best esti-
mate of impairment incurred in the lending portfolios, including any 
off-balance sheet exposures, at the balance sheet date. The allowance 
for loan losses, which includes credit-related allowances for residential 
mortgages, consumer instalment and other personal, credit card, busi-
ness and government loans, and debt securities classified as loans, is 
deducted from Loans on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The allowance 
for credit losses for off-balance sheet instruments, which relates to 
certain guarantees, letters of credit and undrawn lines of credit, is 
recognized in Provisions on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Allowances 
for lending portfolios reported on the balance sheet and off-balance 
sheet exposures are calculated using the same methodology. The 
allowance is increased by the provision for credit losses, and decreased 
by write-offs net of recoveries and disposals. The Bank maintains both 
counterparty-specific and collectively assessed allowances. Each quarter, 
allowances are reassessed and adjusted based on any changes in 
management’s estimate of the future cash flows estimated to be 
recovered. Credit losses on impaired loans continue to be recognized 
by means of an allowance for credit losses until a loan is written off.

A loan is written off against the related allowance for credit losses 

when there is no realistic prospect of recovery. Non-retail loans are 
generally written off when all reasonable collection efforts have been 
exhausted, such as when a loan is sold, when all security has been 
realized or when all security has been resolved with the receiver or 
bankruptcy court. Non-real estate secured retail loans are generally 
written off when contractual payments are 180 days past due, or 
when a loan is sold. Real-estate secured retail loans are generally  
written off when the security is realized.

TD BANK GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2013 FINANCIAL RESULTSCounterparty-Specific Allowance
Individually significant loans, such as the Bank’s medium-sized business 
and government loans and debt securities classified as loans, are 
assessed for impairment at the counterparty-specific level. The impair-
ment assessment is based on the counterparty’s credit ratings, overall 
financial condition, and where applicable, the realizable value of the 
collateral. Collateral is reviewed at least annually and when conditions 
arise indicating an earlier review is necessary. An allowance, if applica-
ble, is measured as the difference between the carrying amount of the 
loan and the estimated recoverable amount. The estimated recoverable 
amount is the present value of the estimated future cash flows, 
discounted using the loan’s original EIR.

Collectively Assessed Allowance for Individually Insignificant  
Impaired Loans
Individually insignificant impaired loans, such as the Bank’s personal 
and small business loans and credit cards, are collectively assessed for 
impairment. Allowances are calculated using a formula that incorporates 
recent loss experience, historical default rates which are delinquency 
levels in interest or principal payments that indicate impairment, other 
applicable currently observable data, and the type of collateral pledged.

Collectively Assessed Allowance for Incurred but Not Identified  
Credit Losses
If there is no objective evidence of impairment for an individual loan, 
whether significant or not, the loan is included in a group of assets 
with similar credit risk characteristics and collectively assessed for 
impairment for losses incurred but not identified. This allowance is 
referred to as the allowance for incurred but not identified credit 
losses. The level of the allowance for each group depends upon an 
assessment of business and economic conditions, historical loss experi-
ence, loan portfolio composition, and other relevant indicators. Histori-
cal loss experience is adjusted based on current observable data to 
reflect the effects of current conditions. The allowance for incurred but 
not identified credit losses is calculated using credit risk models that 
consider probability of default (loss frequency), loss given credit default 
(loss severity), and exposure at default. For purposes of measuring the 
collectively assessed allowance for incurred but not identified credit 
losses, default is defined as delinquency levels in interest or principal 
payments that would indicate impairment.

Acquired Loans
Acquired loans are initially measured at fair value which considers 
incurred and expected future credit losses estimated at the acquisition 
date and also reflects adjustments based on the acquired loan’s interest 
rate in comparison to the current market rates. As a result, no allowance 
for credit losses is recorded on the date of acquisition. When loans are 
acquired with evidence of incurred credit loss where it is probable  
at the purchase date that the Bank will be unable to collect all contrac-
tually required principal and interest payments, they are generally  
considered to be acquired credit-impaired (ACI) loans. 

Acquired performing loans are subsequently accounted for at amor-

tized cost based on their contractual cash flows and any acquisition 
related discount or premium is considered to be an adjustment to the 
loan yield and is recognized in interest income using the EIRM over the 
term of the loan, or the expected life of the loan for acquired loans 
with revolving terms. Credit related discounts relating to incurred 
losses for acquired loans are not accreted. Acquired loans are subject 
to impairment assessments under the Bank’s credit loss framework 
similar to the Bank’s originated loan portfolio.

Acquired Credit-Impaired Loans
ACI loans are identified as impaired at acquisition based on specific risk 
characteristics of the loans, including past due status, performance 
history and recent borrower credit scores. 

ACI loans are accounted for based on the present value of expected 
cash flows as opposed to their contractual cash flows. The Bank deter-
mines the fair value of these loans at the acquisition date by discounting 
expected cash flows at a discount rate that reflects factors a market 
participant would use when determining fair value including manage-
ment assumptions relating to default rates, loss severities, the amount 
and timing of prepayments, and other factors that are reflective of 
current market conditions. With respect to certain individually significant 
ACI loans, accounting is applied individually at the loan level. The 
remaining ACI loans are aggregated provided that they are acquired  
in the same fiscal quarter and have common risk characteristics. 
Aggregated loans are accounted for as a single asset with aggregated 
cash flows and a single composite interest rate. 

Subsequent to acquisition, the Bank regularly reassesses and 

updates its cash flow estimates for changes to assumptions relating to 
default rates, loss severities, the amount and timing of prepayments 
and other factors that are reflective of current market conditions.  
Probable decreases in expected cash flows trigger the recognition of 
additional impairment, which is measured based on the present value 
of the revised expected cash flows discounted at the loan’s EIR as 
compared to the carrying value of the loan. Impairment is recorded 
through the provision for credit losses. 

Probable and significant increases in expected cash flows would first 

reverse any previously taken impairment with any remaining increase 
recognized in income immediately as interest income. In addition, for 
fixed-rate ACI loans the timing of expected cash flows may increase  
or decrease which may result in adjustments through interest income 
to the carrying value in order to maintain the inception yield of the  
ACI loan.

If the timing and/or amounts of expected cash flows on ACI  
loans were determined not to be reasonably estimable, no interest  
is recognized.

Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Covered Loans
Loans subject to loss share agreements with the Federal Deposit  
Insurance Corporation (FDIC) are considered FDIC covered loans. The 
amounts expected to be reimbursed by the FDIC are considered  
separately as indemnification assets and are initially measured at fair  
value. If losses on the portfolio are greater than amounts expected at 
the acquisition date, an impairment loss is taken by establishing an 
allowance for credit losses, which is determined gross, exclusive of  
any adjustments to the indemnification assets.

Indemnification assets are subsequently adjusted for any changes in 

estimates related to the overall collectability of the underlying loan 
portfolio. Any additional impairment of the underlying loan portfolio 
generally results in an increase of the indemnification asset through 
the provision for credit losses. Alternatively, decreases in the expecta-
tion of losses of the underlying loan portfolio generally results in a 
decrease of the indemnification asset through net interest income (or 
through the provision for credit losses if impairment was previously 
taken). The indemnification asset is drawn down as payments are 
received from the FDIC pertaining to the loss share agreements.

FDIC covered loans are recorded in Loans on the Consolidated 

Balance Sheet. The indemnification assets are recorded in Other assets 
on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

At the end of each loss share period, the Bank may be required to 
make a payment to the FDIC if actual losses incurred are less than the 
intrinsic loss estimate as defined in the loss share agreements. The 
payment is determined as 20% of the excess between the intrinsic loss 
estimate and actual covered losses determined in accordance with the 
loss sharing agreement, net of specified servicing costs. The fair value 
of the estimated payment is included in part of the indemnification 
asset at the date of acquisition. Subsequent changes to the estimated 
payment are considered in determining the adjustment to the indemni-
fication asset as described above.

124

TD BANK GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2013 FINANCIAL RESULTSCustomers’ Liability under Acceptances
Acceptances represent a form of negotiable short-term debt issued by 
customers, which the Bank guarantees for a fee. Revenue is recognized 
on an accrual basis. The potential obligation of the Bank under accep-
tances is reported as a liability on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The 
Bank’s recourse against the customer in the event of a call on any of 
these commitments is reported as an asset of the same amount.

Financial Liabilities Carried at Amortized Cost
Deposits
Deposits, other than deposits included in a trading portfolio, are 
accounted for at amortized cost. Accrued interest on deposits,  
calculated using the EIRM, is included in Other liabilities on the  
Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Subordinated Notes and Debentures
Subordinated notes and debentures are accounted for at amortized 
cost. Interest expense is recognized on an accrual basis using the EIRM.

Liability for Preferred Shares and Capital Trust Securities
The Bank classifies issued instruments in accordance with the 
substance of the contractual arrangement. Issued instruments that are 
mandatorily redeemable or convertible into a variable number of the 
Bank’s common shares at the holder’s option are classified as liabilities 
on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Dividend or interest payments on 
these instruments are recognized in interest expense.

Preferred shares that are not mandatorily redeemable or that are 
not convertible into a variable number of the Bank’s common shares at 
the holder’s option are classified and presented in Share Capital.

Guarantees
The Bank issues guarantee contracts that require payments to be made 
to guaranteed parties based on: (i) changes in the underlying economic 
characteristics relating to an asset or liability of the guaranteed party; 
(ii) failure of another party to perform under an obligating agreement; 
or (iii) failure of another third party to pay its indebtedness when due. 
Financial standby letters of credit are financial guarantees that repre-
sent irrevocable assurances that the Bank will make payments in the 
event that a customer cannot meet its obligations to third parties and 
they carry the same credit risk, recourse and collateral security require-
ments as loans extended to customers. Performance standby letters of 
credit are considered non-financial guarantees as payment does not 
depend on the occurrence of a credit event and is generally related to 
a non-financial trigger event. Financial and performance standby 
letters of credit are initially measured and recorded at their fair value. 
A guarantee liability is recorded on initial recognition at fair value 
which is normally equal to the present value of the guarantee fees 
received over the life of contract. The Bank’s release from risk is recog-
nized over the term of the guarantee using a systematic and rational 
amortization method. 

If a guarantee meets the definition of a derivative, it is carried at fair 

value on the Consolidated Balance Sheet and reported as a derivative 
asset or derivative liability at fair value. Guarantees that are considered 
derivatives are a type of credit derivative which are over-the-counter 
(OTC) contracts designed to transfer the credit risk in an underlying 
financial instrument from one counterparty to another.

DERIVATIVES 
Derivatives are instruments that derive their value from changes in 
underlying interest rates, foreign exchange rates, credit spreads, 
commodity prices, equities, or other financial or non-financial 
measures. Such instruments include interest rate, foreign exchange, 
equity, commodity and credit derivative contracts. The Bank uses these 
instruments for trading and non-trading purposes to manage the risks 
associated with its funding and investment strategies. Derivatives are 
carried at their fair value on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

The notional amounts of derivatives are not recorded as assets or 
liabilities as they represent the face amount of the contract to which a 
rate or price is applied to determine the amount of cash flows to be 
exchanged in accordance with the contract. Notional amounts do not 
represent the potential gain or loss associated with market risk and are 
not indicative of the credit risk associated with derivatives.

Derivatives Held for Trading Purposes
The Bank enters into trading derivative contracts to meet the needs  
of its customers, to enter into trading positions primarily to provide 
liquidity and market-making related activities, and in certain cases, to 
manage risks related to its trading portfolio. The realized and unreal-
ized gains or losses on trading derivatives are recognized immediately 
in trading income (losses). 

Derivatives Held for Non-trading Purposes
When derivatives are held for non-trading purposes and when the 
transactions meet the hedge accounting requirements of IAS 39, 
Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement (IAS 39), they  
are classified by the Bank as non-trading derivatives and receive hedge 
accounting treatment, as appropriate. Certain derivative instruments 
that are held for economic hedging purposes, and do not meet the 
hedge accounting requirements of IAS 39, are also classified as non-
trading derivatives with the change in fair value of these derivatives 
recognized in non-interest income. 

Hedging Relationships
Hedge Accounting
At the inception of a hedging relationship, the Bank documents the 
relationship between the hedging instrument and the hedged item, its 
risk management objective and its strategy for undertaking the hedge. 
The Bank also requires a documented assessment, both at hedge 
inception and on an ongoing basis, of whether or not the derivatives 
that are used in hedging relationships are highly effective in offsetting 
the changes attributable to the hedged risks in the fair values or cash 
flows of the hedged items. In order to be considered effective, the 
hedging instrument and the hedged item must be highly and inversely 
correlated such that the changes in the fair value of the hedging 
instrument will substantially offset the effects of the hedged exposure 
to the Bank throughout the term of the hedging relationship. If a 
hedging relationship becomes ineffective, it no longer qualifies for 
hedge accounting and any subsequent change in the fair value of the 
hedging instrument is recognized in Non-interest income on the 
Consolidated Statement of Income.

Changes in fair value relating to the derivative component excluded 
from the assessment of hedge effectiveness, is recognized immediately 
in Non-interest income on the Consolidated Statement of Income.

When derivatives are designated as hedges, the Bank classifies them 

either as: (i) hedges of the changes in fair value of recognized assets  
or liabilities or firm commitments (fair value hedges); (ii) hedges of  
the variability in highly probable future cash flows attributable to a 
recognized asset or liability, or a forecasted transaction (cash flow 
hedges); or (iii) hedges of net investments in a foreign operation  
(net investment hedges).

Fair Value Hedges
The Bank’s fair value hedges principally consist of interest rate  
swaps that are used to protect against changes in the fair value of 
fixed-rate long-term financial instruments due to movements in  
market interest rates.

Changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and 
qualify as fair value hedging instruments are recognized in Non-interest 
income on the Consolidated Statement of Income, along with changes 
in the fair value of the assets, liabilities or group thereof that are 
attributable to the hedged risk. Any change in fair value relating to the 
ineffective portion of the hedging relationship is recognized immedi-
ately in non-interest income.

125

TD BANK GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2013 FINANCIAL RESULTSThe cumulative adjustment to the carrying amount of the hedged 
item (the basis adjustment) is amortized to the Consolidated Statement 
of Income in net interest income based on a recalculated EIR over  
the remaining expected life of the hedged item, with amortization 
beginning no later than when the hedged item ceases to be adjusted 
for changes in its fair value attributable to the hedged risk. Where the 
hedged item has been derecognized, the basis adjustment is immedi-
ately released to Net interest income on the Consolidated Statement  
of Income.

Cash Flow Hedges
The Bank is exposed to variability in future cash flows that are denomi-
nated in foreign currencies, as well as the variability in future cash 
flows on non-trading assets and liabilities that bear interest at variable 
rates, or are expected to be reinvested in the future. The amounts and 
timing of future cash flows are projected for each hedged exposure on 
the basis of their contractual terms and other relevant factors, includ-
ing estimates of prepayments and defaults. 

The effective portion of the change in the fair value of the derivative 

that is designated and qualifies as a cash flow hedge is recognized in 
other comprehensive income. The change in fair value of the derivative 
relating to the ineffective portion is recognized immediately in non-
interest income. 

Amounts accumulated in other comprehensive income are reclassi-
fied to Net interest income on the Consolidated Statement of Income 
in the period in which the hedged item affects income.

When a hedging instrument expires or is sold, or when a hedge no 
longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, any cumulative gain or 
loss existing in other comprehensive income at that time remains in 
other comprehensive income until the forecasted transaction impacts 
the Consolidated Statement of Income. When a forecasted transaction 
is no longer expected to occur, the cumulative gain or loss that was 
reported in other comprehensive income is immediately reclassified to 
Net interest income on the Consolidated Statement of Income.

Net Investment Hedges
Hedges of net investments in foreign operations are accounted for 
similar to cash flow hedges. The change in fair value on the hedging 
instrument relating to the effective portion is recognized in other 
comprehensive income. The change in fair value of the hedging instru-
ment relating to the ineffective portion is recognized immediately on 
the Consolidated Statement of Income. Gains and losses accumulated 
in other comprehensive income are reclassified to the Consolidated 
Statement of Income upon the disposal or partial disposal of the 
investment in the foreign operation.

Embedded Derivatives
Derivatives may be embedded in other financial instruments (the host 
instrument). Embedded derivatives are treated as separate derivatives 
when their economic characteristics and risks are not closely related  
to those of the host instrument, a separate instrument with the same 
terms as the embedded derivative would meet the definition of a 
derivative, and the combined contract is not held for trading or desig-
nated at fair value through profit or loss. These embedded derivatives, 
which are bifurcated from the host contract, are recognized on the 
Consolidated Balance Sheet as Derivatives and measured at fair value 
with subsequent changes recognized in Non-interest income on the 
Consolidated Statement of Income.

TRANSLATION OF FOREIGN CURRENCIES
The Bank’s Consolidated Financial Statements are presented in Cana-
dian dollars, which is the presentation currency of the Bank. Items 
included in the financial statements of each of the Bank’s entities are 
measured using their functional currency, which is the currency of the 
primary economic environment in which they operate. 

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in a currency that 
differs from an entity’s functional currency are translated into the 
functional currency of the entity at exchange rates prevailing at the 
balance sheet date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated 
at historical exchange rates. Income and expenses are translated into 
an entity’s functional currency at average exchange rates prevailing 
throughout the year. Translation gains and losses are included in  
non-interest income except for available-for-sale equity securities 
where unrealized translation gains and losses are recorded in other 
comprehensive income until the asset is sold or becomes impaired.

Foreign-currency denominated subsidiaries are those with a func-

tional currency other than Canadian dollars. For the purpose of  
translation into the Bank’s functional currency, all assets and liabilities 
are translated at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date  
and all income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates 
for the period. Unrealized translation gains and losses relating to these 
operations, net of gains or losses arising from net investment hedges 
of these positions and applicable income taxes, are included in other 
comprehensive income. Translation gains and losses accumulated  
in other comprehensive income are recognized on the Consolidated 
Statement of Income upon the disposal or partial disposal of the 
investment in the foreign operation. The investment balance of foreign 
entities accounted for by the equity method, including TD Ameritrade, 
is translated into Canadian dollars using the closing rate at the end  
of the period with exchange gains or losses recognized in other 
comprehensive income.

OFFSETTING OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amount 
presented on the Consolidated Balance Sheet, only if the Bank 
currently has a legally enforceable right to set off the recognized 
amounts, and intends either to settle on a net basis or to realize the 
asset and settle the liability simultaneously. In all other situations, 
assets and liabilities are presented on a gross basis.

DETERMINATION OF FAIR VALUE
The fair value of a financial instrument on initial recognition is normally 
the transaction price, such as, the fair value of the consideration given 
or received. The best evidence of fair value is quoted prices in active 
markets, and is based on bid prices for financial assets, and offered 
prices for financial liabilities. When financial assets and liabilities have 
offsetting market risks, the Bank uses mid-market prices as a basis for 
establishing fair values for the offsetting risk positions and applies the 
bid or offered price to the net open position, as appropriate. When 
there is no active market for the instrument, the fair value may be 
based on other observable current market transactions involving the 
same or similar instrument, without modification or repackaging, or is 
based on a valuation technique which maximizes the use of observable 
market inputs.

The Bank recognizes various types of valuation adjustments to 

account for factors that market participants would use in determining 
fair value which are not included in valuation techniques due to system 
limitations or measurement uncertainty. Valuation adjustments reflect 
the Bank’s assessment of factors that market participants would use in 
pricing the asset or liability. These include, but are not limited to, the 
unobservability of inputs used in the pricing model, or assumptions 
about risk, such as creditworthiness of each counterparty and risk 
premiums that market participants would require given the inherent 
risk in the pricing model. 

If there is a difference between the initial transaction price and the 

value based on a valuation technique which includes observable 
market inputs, the difference is referred to as inception profit or loss. 
Inception profit or loss is recognized into income upon initial recogni-
tion of the instrument. When an instrument is measured using a valua-
tion technique that utilizes non-observable inputs, it is initially valued 

126

TD BANK GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2013 FINANCIAL RESULTSat the transaction price, which is considered the best estimate of fair 
value. Subsequent to initial recognition, any difference between the 
transaction price and the value determined by the valuation technique 
at initial recognition is recognized into income as non-observable 
inputs become observable. 

If the fair value of a financial asset measured at fair value becomes 
negative, it is recognized as a financial liability until either its fair value 
becomes positive, at which time it is recognized as a financial asset, or 
until it is extinguished.

DERECOGNITION OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Financial Assets
The Bank derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to 
that asset have expired. Derecognition may also be appropriate where 
the contractual right to receive future cash flows from the asset have 
been transferred, or where the Bank retains the rights to future cash 
flows from the asset, but assumes an obligation to pay those cash 
flows to a third party subject to certain criteria. 

When the Bank transfers a financial asset, it is necessary to assess 

the extent to which the Bank has retained the risks and rewards of 
ownership of the transferred asset. If substantially all the risks and 
rewards of ownership of the financial asset have been retained, the 
Bank continues to recognize the financial asset and also recognizes  
a financial liability for the consideration received. Certain transaction 
costs incurred are also capitalized and amortized using EIRM. If 
substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial 
asset have been transferred, the Bank will derecognize the financial 
asset and recognize separately as assets or liabilities any rights and 
obligations created or retained in the transfer. The Bank determines 
whether substantially all the risk and rewards have been transferred  
by quantitatively comparing the variability in cash flows before and 
after the transfer. If the variability in cash flows does not change  
significantly as a result of the transfer, the Bank has retained substan-
tially all of the risks and rewards of ownership.

If the Bank neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and 

rewards of ownership of the financial asset, the Bank derecognizes  
the financial asset where it has relinquished control of the financial 
asset. The Bank is considered to have relinquished control of the  
financial asset where the transferee has the practical ability to sell the 
transferred financial asset. Where the Bank has retained control of  
the financial asset, it continues to recognize the financial asset to the 
extent of its continuing involvement in the financial asset. Under these 
circumstances, the Bank usually retains the rights to future cash flows 
relating to the asset through a residual interest and is exposed to  
some degree of risk associated with the financial asset. 

The derecognition criteria are also applied to the transfer of part of 

an asset, rather than the asset as a whole, or to a group of similar 
financial assets in their entirety, when applicable. If transferring a part 
of an asset, it must be a specifically identified cash flow, a fully propor-
tionate share of the asset, or a fully proportionate share of a specifically 
identified cash flow.

Securitization 
Securitization is the process by which financial assets are transformed 
into securities. The Bank securitizes financial assets by transferring 
those financial assets to a third party and as part of the securitization, 
certain financial assets may be retained and may consist of an interest-
only strip and, in some cases, a cash reserve account (collectively 
referred to as ‘retained interests’). If the transfer qualifies for derecog-
nition, a gain or loss is recognized immediately in other income after 
the effects of hedges on the assets sold, if applicable. The amount of 
the gain or loss is calculated as the difference between the carrying 
amount of the asset transferred and the sum of any cash proceeds 
received, including any financial asset received or financial liability 

assumed, and any cumulative gain or loss allocated to the transferred 
asset that had been recognized in other comprehensive income. To 
determine the value of the retained interest initially recorded, the 
previous carrying value of the transferred asset is allocated between 
the amount derecognized from the balance sheet and the retained 
interest recorded, in proportion to their relative fair values on the date 
of transfer. Subsequent to initial recognition, as market prices are 
generally not available for retained interests, fair value is determined 
by estimating the present value of future expected cash flows using 
management’s best estimates of key assumptions that market parti-
cipants would use in determining fair value. Refer to Note 3 for 
assumptions used by management in determining the fair value of 
retained interests. Retained interest is classified as trading securities 
with subsequent changes in fair value recorded in trading income.

Where the Bank retains the servicing rights, the benefits of servicing 
are assessed against market expectations. When the benefits of servicing 
are more than adequate, a servicing asset is recognized. Servicing 
assets are carried at amortized cost. When the benefits of servicing are 
less than adequate, a servicing liability is recognized.

Financial Liabilities
The Bank derecognizes a financial liability when the obligation under 
the liability is discharged, cancelled or expires. If an existing financial 
liability is replaced by another financial liability from the same lender 
on substantially different terms or where the terms of the existing 
liability are substantially modified, the original liability is derecognized 
and a new liability is recognized with the difference in the respective 
carrying amounts recognized on the Consolidated Statement of Income.

Securities Purchased Under Reverse Repurchase Agreements, 
Securities Sold Under Repurchase Agreements, and Securities 
Borrowing and Lending
Securities purchased under reverse repurchase agreements involve the 
purchase of securities by the Bank under agreements to resell the  
securities at a future date. These agreements are treated as collateral-
ized lending transactions whereby the Bank takes possession of the 
purchased securities, but does not acquire the risks and rewards of 
ownership. The Bank monitors the market value of the purchased 
securities relative to the amounts due under the reverse repurchase 
agreements, and when necessary, requires transfer of additional  
collateral. In the event of counterparty default, the agreements provide 
the Bank with the right to liquidate the collateral held and offset the 
proceeds against the amount owing from the counterparty. 

Obligations related to securities sold under repurchase agreements 

involve the sale of securities by the Bank to counterparties under 
agreements to repurchase the securities at a future date. These agree-
ments do not result in the risks and rewards of ownership being  
relinquished and are treated as collateralized borrowing transactions. 
The Bank monitors the market value of the securities sold relative to 
the amounts due under the repurchase agreements, and when neces-
sary, transfers additional collateral and may require counterparties  
to return collateral pledged. Certain transactions that do not meet 
derecognition criteria under IFRS are also included in obligations 
related to securities sold under repurchase agreements. Refer to  
Note 8 for further details. 

Securities purchased under reverse repurchase agreements and  
obligations related to securities sold under repurchase agreements are 
initially recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheet at the respective 
prices at which the securities were originally acquired or sold, plus 
accrued interest. Subsequently, the agreements are measured at amor-
tized cost on the Consolidated Balance Sheet, plus accrued interest. 
Interest earned on reverse repurchase agreements and interest incurred 
on repurchase agreements is determined using the EIRM and is 
included in Interest income and Interest expense, respectively, on the 
Consolidated Statement of Income.

127

TD BANK GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2013 FINANCIAL RESULTSIn security lending transactions, the Bank lends securities to a counter-

party and receives collateral in the form of cash or securities. If cash 
collateral is received, the Bank records the cash along with an obliga-
tion to return the cash as an obligation related to securities sold under 
repurchase agreements on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Where 
securities are received as collateral, the Bank does not record the 
collateral on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

In securities borrowing transactions, the Bank borrows securities 
from a counterparty and pledges either cash or securities as collateral. 
If cash is pledged as collateral, the Bank records the transaction as 
securities purchased under reverse repurchase agreements on the 
Consolidated Balance Sheet. Securities pledged as collateral remain on 
the Bank’s Consolidated Balance Sheet. 

Where securities are pledged or received as collateral, security 

borrowing fees and security lending income are recorded in Non-interest 
expenses and Non-interest income, respectively, on the Consolidated 
Statement of Income over the term of the transaction. Where cash is 
pledged or received as collateral, interest received or incurred is deter-
mined using the EIRM and is included in Interest income and Interest 
expense, respectively, on the Consolidated Statement of Income.

Commodities purchased or sold with an agreement to sell or repur-
chase the commodities at a later date at a fixed price, are also included 
in securities purchased under reverse repurchase agreements and  
obligations related to securities sold under repurchase agreements, 
respectively, if the derecognition criteria under IFRS are not met. These 
instruments are measured at fair value.

GOODWILL
Goodwill represents the excess purchase price paid over the net  
fair value of identifiable assets and liabilities acquired in a business 
combination. Goodwill is carried at its initial cost less accumulated 
impairment losses. 

Goodwill is allocated to a cash generating unit (CGU) or a group of 

CGUs that is expected to benefit from the synergies of the business 
combination, regardless of whether any assets acquired and liabilities 
assumed are assigned to the CGU or group of CGUs. A CGU is the 
smallest identifiable group of assets that generate cash flows largely 
independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets. 
Each CGU or group of CGUs, to which the goodwill is allocated,  
represents the lowest level within the Bank at which the goodwill is 
monitored for internal management purposes and is not larger than  
an operating segment. 

Goodwill is assessed for impairment at least annually and when  

an event or change in circumstances indicates that the carrying 
amount may be impaired. When impairment indicators are present,  
the recoverable amount of the CGU or group of CGUs, which is the 
higher of its estimated fair value less costs to sell and its value-in-use, 
is determined. If the carrying amount of the CGU or group of CGUs  
is higher than its recoverable amount, an impairment loss exists. The 
impairment loss is recognized on the Consolidated Statement of 
Income and is applied to the goodwill balance. An impairment loss 
cannot be reversed in future periods.

INTANGIBLE ASSETS
The Bank’s intangible assets consist primarily of core deposit intangibles, 
credit card related intangibles and software intangibles. Intangible 
assets are initially recognized at fair value and are amortized over their 
estimated useful lives (3 to 20 years) proportionate to their expected 
economic benefits, except for software which is amortized over its  
estimated useful life (3 to 7 years) on a straight-line basis.

The Bank assesses its intangible assets for impairment on a quarterly 

basis. When impairment indicators are present, the recoverable 
amount of the asset, which is the higher of its estimated fair value less 
costs to sell and its value-in-use, is determined. If the carrying amount 
of the asset is higher than its recoverable amount, the asset is written 

down to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognized on 
the Consolidated Statement of Income in the period in which the 
impairment is identified. Impairment losses recognized previously are 
assessed and reversed if the circumstances leading to the impairment 
are no longer present. Reversal of any impairment loss will not exceed 
the carrying amount of the intangible asset that would have been 
determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in 
prior periods.

LAND, BUILDINGS, EQUIPMENT, AND OTHER  
DEPRECIABLE ASSETS
Land is recognized at cost. Buildings, computer equipment, furniture and 
fixtures, other equipment and leasehold improvements are recognized 
at cost less accumulated depreciation and provisions for impairment, if 
any. Gains and losses on disposal are included in Non-interest income 
on the Consolidated Statement of Income.

Properties or other assets leased under a finance lease are capital-
ized as assets and depreciated on a straight-line basis over the lesser  
of the lease term and the estimated useful life of the asset.

The Bank records the obligation associated with the retirement of  
a long-lived asset at fair value in the period in which it is incurred and 
can be reasonably estimated, and records a corresponding increase  
to the carrying amount of the asset. The asset is depreciated on a 
straight-line basis over its remaining useful life while the liability is 
accreted to reflect the passage of time until the eventual settlement  
of the obligation.

Depreciation is recognized on a straight-line basis over the useful 

lives of the assets estimated by asset category, as follows:

Asset 

  Useful Life

Buildings 
Computer equipment 
Furniture and fixtures 
Other equipment 
Leasehold improvements 

15 to 40 years
3 to 7 years
3 to 15 years
5 to 8 years
Lesser of lease term plus one renewal and 15 years 

The Bank assesses its depreciable assets for impairment on a quarterly 
basis. When impairment indicators are present, the recoverable 
amount of the asset, which is the higher of its estimated fair value less 
costs to sell and its value-in-use, is determined. If the carrying value of 
the asset is higher than its recoverable amount, the asset is written 
down to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognized on 
the Consolidated Statement of Income in the period in which the 
impairment is identified. Impairment losses recognized previously are 
assessed and reversed if the circumstances leading to their impairment 
are no longer present. Reversal of any impairment loss will not exceed 
the carrying amount of the depreciable asset that would have been 
determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in 
prior periods.

NON-CURRENT ASSETS HELD FOR SALE 
Individual non-current assets (and disposal groups) are classified as 
held for sale if they are available for immediate sale in their present 
condition subject only to terms that are usual and customary for  
sales of such assets (or disposal groups), and their sale must be highly 
probable to occur within one year. For a sale to be highly probable, 
management must be committed to a sales plan and initiate an active 
program to market for the sale of the non-current assets (and disposal 
groups). Non-current assets (and disposal groups) classified as held for 
sale are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value 
less costs to sell on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Subsequent to its 
initial classification as held for sale, a non-current asset (and disposal 
group) is no longer depreciated or amortized, and any subsequent 
write-downs in fair value less costs to sell or such increases not in 
excess of cumulative write-downs, are recognized on the Consolidated 
Statement of Income.

SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
The Bank grants share options to certain employees as compensation 
for services provided to the Bank. The Bank uses a binomial tree-based 
valuation option pricing model to estimate fair value for all share-
based compensation awards. The cost of the share options is based  
on the fair value estimated at the grant date and is recognized as 
compensation expense and contributed surplus over the service period 
required for employees to become fully entitled to the awards. This 
period is generally equal to the vesting period and includes a period 
prior to the grant date. For the Bank’s share options, this period is 
generally equal to five years. When options are exercised, the amount 
initially recognized in the contributed surplus balance is reduced, with 
a corresponding increase in common shares.

The Bank has various other share-based compensation plans where 

certain employees are awarded cash payments equivalent to units of 
the Bank’s common shares as compensation for services provided to 
the Bank. The obligation related to share units is included in other 
liabilities. Compensation expense is recognized based on the fair value 
of the share units at the grant date adjusted for changes in fair value 
between the grant date and the vesting date, net of the effects of 
hedges, over the service period required for employees to become fully 
entitled to the awards. This period is generally equal to the vesting 
period and includes a period prior to the grant date. For the Bank’s 
share units, this period is generally equal to four years.

EMPLOYEE BENEFITS
Defined Benefit Plans
Actuarial valuations are prepared at least every three years to deter-
mine the present value of the projected benefit obligation related to 
the Bank’s principal pension and non-pension post-retirement benefit 
plans. In periods between actuarial valuations, an extrapolation is 
performed based on the most recent valuation completed. Pension and 
non-pension post-retirement benefit expenses are determined based 
upon separate actuarial valuations using the projected benefit method 
pro-rated on service and management’s best estimates of expected 
long-term return on plan assets, compensation increases, health care 
cost trend rate, mortality rate, and discount rate, which are reviewed 
annually with the Bank’s actuaries. The expense recognized includes 
the cost of benefits for employee service provided in the current year, 
interest expense on obligations, expected return on plan assets, the 
cost of vested plan amendments, the amortization of the cost of 
unvested plan amendments, and amortization of actuarial gains or 
losses. The fair value of plan assets and the present value of the 
projected benefit obligation are measured as at October 31. The net 
defined benefit asset or liability represents the difference between the 
cumulative expenses and recognized cumulative contributions and is 
reported in other assets or other liabilities.

The cost of plan amendments are recognized in income immediately 

if they relate to vested benefits. Otherwise, the cost of plan amend-
ments are deferred and amortized into income on a straight-line basis 
over the vesting period, which is the period until the plan member 
becomes unconditionally entitled to the benefits for the principal 
pension plans and the expected average remaining period to full  
eligibility for the principal non-pension post-retirement benefit plan. 

The excess, if any, of the accumulated net actuarial gain or loss over 

10% of the greater of the projected benefit obligation and the fair 
value of plan assets for the Bank’s principal pension plans is recog-
nized in income on a straight-line basis over the expected average 
remaining working lives of the active plan members. This is commonly 
referred to as the corridor approach.

Prepaid pension assets recognized by the Bank are subject to a  
ceiling which limits the asset recognized on the Consolidated Balance 
Sheet to the amount that is recoverable through refunds of contribu-
tions or future contribution holidays. In addition, where a regulatory 
funding deficit exists related to a defined benefit plan, the Bank is 
required to record a liability equal to the present value of all future 
cash payments required to eliminate that deficit.

Curtailment and settlement gains and losses are recognized in 
income by the Bank when the curtailment or settlement occurs.  
A curtailment occurs when the Bank is demonstrably committed to 
materially reducing the number of employees covered by the plan,  
or amending the terms of a defined benefit plan so that a significant 
element of future service by current employees will no longer qualify 
for benefits, or will qualify only for reduced benefits. A settlement 
occurs when the Bank enters into a transaction that eliminates all 
further legal or constructive obligation for part or all of the benefits 
provided under a defined benefit plan.

Defined Contribution Plans
For defined contribution plans, annual pension expense is equal to the 
Bank’s contributions to those plans.

INSURANCE
Premiums for short-duration insurance contracts, net of reinsurance, 
primarily property and casualty, are deferred as unearned premiums 
and reported in non-interest income on a pro rata basis over the terms 
of the policies, except for contracts where the period of risk differs 
significantly from the contract period. Unearned premiums are reported 
in other liabilities, gross of premiums attributable to reinsurers. The 
reinsurers’ share is recognized as an asset in other assets. Premiums 
from life and health insurance policies are recognized as income when 
due from the policyholder.

For property and casualty insurance, insurance claims and policy 
benefit liabilities represent current claims and estimates for future 
insurance policy claims, as determined by the appointed actuary in 
accordance with accepted actuarial practices and are reported as other 
liabilities. Expected claims and policy benefit liabilities are determined 
on a case-by-case basis and consider such variables as past loss experi-
ence, current claims trends and changes in the prevailing social, 
economic and legal environment. These liabilities are continually 
reviewed and, as experience develops and new information becomes 
known, the liabilities are adjusted as necessary. In addition to reported 
claims information, the liabilities recognized by the Bank include a 
provision to account for the future development of insurance claims, 
including insurance claims incurred but not reported by policyholders 
(IBNR). IBNR liabilities are evaluated based on historical development 
trends and actuarial methodologies for groups of claims with similar 
attributes. To recognize the uncertainty in establishing these best  
estimates, to allow for possible deterioration in experience and to 
provide greater comfort that the actuarial liabilities are sufficient  
to pay future benefits, actuaries are required to include margins in 
some assumptions. A range of allowable margins is prescribed by  
the Canadian Institute of Actuaries relating to claims development, 
reinsurance recoveries and investment income variables. The impact  
of the margins is referred to as the provision for adverse deviation. 
Expected claims and policy benefit liabilities are discounted using a 
discount rate that reflects the current market assessments of the time 
value of money and the risks specific to the obligation, as required by 
Canadian accepted actuarial practices, and makes explicit provision  
for adverse deviation. For life and health insurance, actuarial liabilities 
represent the present values of future policy cash flows as determined 
using standard actuarial valuation practices. Changes in actuarial  
liabilities are reported in insurance claims and related expenses.

129

TD BANK GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2013 FINANCIAL RESULTSPROVISIONS 
Provisions are recognized when the Bank has a present obligation 
(legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, the amount of which 
can be reliably estimated, and it is probable that an outflow of 
resources will be required to settle the obligation. 

Provisions are measured based on management’s best estimate  
of the consideration required to settle the obligation at the end of  
the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties 
surrounding the obligation. If the effect of the time value of money is 
material, provisions are measured at the present value of the expendi-
ture expected to be required to settle the obligation, using a discount 
rate that reflects the current market assessments of the time value of 
money and the risks specific to the obligation. The increase in provi-
sions due to the passage of time is recognized as interest expense.

INCOME TAXES
Income tax is comprised of current and deferred tax. Income tax  
is recognized on the Consolidated Statement of Income except to  
the extent that it relates to items recognized in other comprehensive 
income or directly in equity, in which case the related taxes are  
also recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in  
equity, respectively.

Deferred tax is recognized on temporary differences between the 
carrying amounts of assets and liabilities on the Consolidated Balance 
Sheet and the amounts attributed to such assets and liabilities for tax 
purposes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on 
the tax rates that are expected to apply when the assets or liabilities 
are reported for tax purposes. Deferred tax assets are recognized only 
when it is probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available in 
future periods against which deductible temporary differences may  
be utilized. Deferred tax liabilities are not recognized on temporary 
differences arising on investments in subsidiaries, branches and associ-
ates, and interests in joint ventures if the Bank controls the timing of 
the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the 
temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

The Bank records a provision for uncertain tax positions if it is prob-

able that the Bank will have to make a payment to tax authorities 
upon their examination of a tax position. This provision is measured at 
the Bank’s best estimate of the amount expected to be paid. Provisions 
are reversed to income in the period in which management determines 
they are no longer required or as determined by statute.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS

The estimates used in the Bank’s accounting policies are essential to 
understanding its results of operations and financial condition. Some 
of the Bank’s policies require subjective, complex judgments and  
estimates as they relate to matters that are inherently uncertain. 
Changes in these judgments or estimates could have a significant 
impact on the Bank’s Consolidated Financial Statements. The Bank  
has established procedures to ensure that accounting policies are 
applied consistently and that the processes for changing methodolo-
gies for determining estimates are well controlled and occur in an 
appropriate and systematic manner.

IMPAIRMENT OF FINANCIAL ASSETS
Available-for-Sale Securities
Impairment losses are recognized on available-for-sale securities if 
there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more 
events that have occurred after initial recognition (a ‘loss event’) and 
the loss event(s) results in a decrease in the estimated cash flows of 
the instrument. The Bank individually reviews these securities at least 
quarterly for the presence of these conditions. For available-for-sale 
equity securities, a significant or prolonged decline in fair value below 
cost is considered objective evidence of impairment. For available- 
for-sale debt securities, a deterioration of credit quality is considered 
objective evidence of impairment. Other factors considered in the 
impairment assessment include financial position and key financial  
indicators of the issuer of the instrument, significant past and continued 
losses of the issuer, as well as breaches of contract, including default 
or delinquency in interest payments and loan covenant violations. 

Held-to-Maturity Securities
Impairment losses are recognized on held-to-maturity securities if there 
is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events 
that have occurred after initial recognition (a ‘loss event’) and the loss 
event(s) results in a decrease in the estimated cash flows of the instru-
ment. The Bank reviews these securities at least quarterly for impairment 
at the counter-party specific level. If there is no objective evidence  
of impairment at the counter-party specific level then the security is 

grouped with other held-to-maturity securities with similar credit risk 
characteristics and collectively assessed for impairment, which consid-
ers losses incurred but not identified. A deterioration of credit quality 
is considered objective evidence of impairment. Other factors consid-
ered in the impairment assessment include the financial position and 
key financial indicators of the issuer, significant past and continued 
losses of the issuer, as well as breaches of contract, including default 
or delinquency in interest payments and loan covenant violations. 

Loans
A loan (including a debt security classified as a loan) is considered 
impaired when there is objective evidence that there has been a dete-
rioration of credit quality subsequent to the initial recognition of the 
loan (a ‘loss event’) to the extent the Bank no longer has reasonable 
assurance as to the timely collection of the full amount of principal 
and interest. The Bank assesses loans for objective evidence of impair-
ment individually for loans that are individually significant, and collec-
tively for loans that are not individually significant. The allowance for 
credit losses represents management’s best estimate of impairment 
incurred in the lending portfolios, including any off-balance sheet 
exposures, at the balance sheet date. Management exercises judgment 
as to the timing of designating a loan as impaired, the amount of the 
allowance required, and the amount that will be recovered once the 
borrower defaults. Changes in the amount that management expects 
to recover would have a direct impact on the provision for credit losses 
and may result in a change in the allowance for credit losses. 

If there is no objective evidence of impairment for an individual loan, 
whether significant or not, the loan is included in a group of assets with 
similar credit risk characteristics and collectively assessed for impair-
ment for losses incurred but not identified. In calculating the probable 
range of allowance for incurred but not identified credit losses, the 
Bank employs internally developed models that utilize parameters for 
probability of default, loss given default and exposure at default. 
Management’s judgment is used to determine the point within the 
range that is the best estimate of losses, based on an assessment  
of business and economic conditions, historical loss experience,  

130

TD BANK GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2013 FINANCIAL RESULTSloan portfolio composition, and other relevant indicators that are not 
fully incorporated into the model calculation. Changes in these 
assumptions would have a direct impact on the provision for incurred 
but not identified credit losses and may result in a change in the 
related allowance for credit losses.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT 
The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets at the 
balance sheet date is based on their quoted market prices. For all other 
financial instruments not traded in an active market, fair value may  
be based on other observable current market transactions involving  
the same or similar instrument, without modification or repackaging, 
or is based on a valuation technique which maximizes the use of 
observable market inputs. Observable market inputs may include inter-
est rate yield curves, foreign exchange rates, and option volatilities. 
Valuation techniques include comparisons with similar instruments 
where observable market prices exist, discounted cash flow analysis, 
option pricing models, and other valuation techniques commonly  
used by market participants. 

For certain complex or illiquid financial instruments, fair value is 
determined using valuation techniques in which current market trans-
actions or observable market inputs are not available. Determining 
which valuation technique to apply requires judgment. The valuation 
techniques themselves also involve some level of estimation and judg-
ment. The judgments include liquidity considerations and model inputs 
such as volatilities, correlations, spreads, discount rates, pre-payment 
rates, and prices of underlying instruments. Any imprecision in these 
estimates can affect the resulting fair value. 

The inherent nature of private equity investing is that the Bank’s 
valuation will change over time as the underlying investment matures 
and an exit strategy is developed and realized. Estimates of fair value 
may also fluctuate due to developments in the business underlying the 
investment. Such fluctuations may be significant depending on the 
nature of the factors going into the valuation methodology and the 
extent of change in those factors. 

For certain types of equity instruments fair value is assumed to 
approximate carrying value where the range of reasonable valuation 
techniques is significant and the probabilities of such valuation tech-
niques cannot be reasonably assessed. In such instances fair value may 
not be reliably measured due to the equity instruments unique charac-
teristics, including trading restrictions or that quoted market prices  
for similar securities are not available.

Judgment is also used in recording fair value adjustments to model 

valuations to account for measurement uncertainty when valuing 
complex and less actively traded financial instruments. If the market  
for a complex financial instrument develops, the pricing for this  
instrument may become more transparent, resulting in refinement of 
valuation models.

An analysis of fair values of financial instruments and further details 

as to how they are measured are provided in Note 5.

DERECOGNITION
Certain assets transferred may qualify for derecognition from the 
Bank’s Consolidated Balance Sheet. To qualify for derecognition 
certain key determinations must be made. A decision must be made as 
to whether the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets 
has been retained or transferred and the extent to which the risks and 
rewards of ownership of the financial asset has been retained or trans-
ferred. If the Bank neither transfers nor retains substantially all of the 
risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, a decision must 
be made as to whether the Bank has retained control of the financial 
asset. Upon derecognition, the Bank will record a gain or loss on sale 
of those assets which is calculated as the difference between the carry-
ing amount of the asset transferred and the sum of any cash proceeds 

received, including any financial asset received or financial liability 
assumed, and any cumulative gain or loss allocated to the transferred 
asset that had been recognized in other comprehensive income. In 
determining the fair value of any financial asset received, the Bank 
estimates future cash flows by relying on estimates of the amount of 
interest that will be collected on the securitized assets, the yield to be 
paid to investors, the portion of the securitized assets that will be 
prepaid before their scheduled maturity, expected credit losses, the 
cost of servicing the assets and the rate at which to discount these 
expected future cash flows. Actual cash flows may differ significantly 
from those estimated by the Bank. Retained interests are classified as 
trading securities and are initially recognized at relative fair value on 
the Bank’s Consolidated Balance Sheet. Subsequently, the fair value of 
retained interests recognized by the Bank is determined by estimating 
the present value of future expected cash flows using management’s 
best estimates of key assumptions including credit losses, prepayment 
rates, forward yield curves and discount rates, that are commensurate 
with the risks involved. Differences between the actual cash flows and 
the Bank’s estimate of future cash flows are recognized in income. 
These assumptions are subject to periodic review and may change due 
to significant changes in the economic environment.

GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLES
The fair value of the Bank’s CGUs is determined from internally devel-
oped valuation models that consider various factors and assumptions 
such as forecasted earnings, growth rates, price earnings multiples, 
discount rates and terminal multiples. Management is required to use 
judgment in estimating the fair value of CGUs and the use of different 
assumptions and estimates in the fair value calculations could influence 
the determination of the existence of impairment and the valuation  
of goodwill. Management believes that the assumptions and estimates 
used are reasonable and supportable. Where possible, fair values 
generated internally are compared to relevant market information. The 
carrying amounts of the Bank’s CGUs are determined by management 
using risk based capital models to adjust net assets and liabilities by 
CGU. These models consider various factors including market risk, 
credit risk and operational risk, including investment capital (comprised 
of goodwill and other intangibles). Any unallocated capital not directly 
attributable to the CGUs is held within the Corporate segment. The 
Bank’s capital oversight committees provide oversight to the Bank’s 
capital allocation methodologies.

EMPLOYEE BENEFITS
The projected benefit obligation and expense related to the Bank’s 
pension and non-pension post-retirement benefit plans are determined 
using multiple assumptions that may significantly influence the value 
of these amounts. Actuarial assumptions including expected long-term 
return on plan assets, compensation increases, health care cost trend 
rate, mortality rate, and discount rate are management’s best esti-
mates and are reviewed annually with the Bank’s actuaries. The Bank 
develops each assumption using relevant historical experience of the 
Bank in conjunction with market-related data and considers if the 
market-related data indicates there is any prolonged or significant 
impact on the assumptions. The discount rate used to measure plan 
obligations is based on long-term high quality corporate bond yields as 
at October 31. The expected long-term return on plan assets is based 
on historical returns and future expectations for returns for each asset 
class, as well as the target asset allocation of the fund. The other 
assumptions are also long-term estimates. All assumptions are subject 
to a degree of uncertainty. Differences between actual experiences 
and the assumptions, as well as changes in the assumptions resulting 
from changes in future expectations, result in increases or decreases in 
the pension and non-pension post-retirement benefit plan obligations 
and expenses in future years. 

131

TD BANK GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2013 FINANCIAL RESULTSINCOME TAXES 
The Bank is subject to taxation in numerous jurisdictions. There are 
many transactions and calculations in the ordinary course of business 
for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. The Bank main-
tains provisions for uncertain tax positions that it believes appropriately 
reflect the risk of tax positions under discussion, audit, dispute, or 
appeal with tax authorities, or which are otherwise considered to 
involve uncertainty. These provisions are made using the Bank’s best 
estimate of the amount expected to be paid based on an assessment 
of all relevant factors, which are reviewed at the end of each reporting 
period. However, it is possible that at some future date, an additional 
liability could result from audits by the relevant taxing authorities. 
Deferred tax assets are recognized only when it is probable that 

sufficient taxable profit will be available in future periods against 
which deductible temporary differences may be utilized. The amount 
of the deferred tax asset recognized and considered realizable could, 
however, be reduced if projected income is not achieved due to various 
factors, such as unfavourable business conditions. If projected income 
is not expected to be achieved, the Bank would decrease its deferred 
tax assets to the amount that it believes can be realized. The magni-
tude of the decrease is significantly influenced by the Bank’s forecast 
of future profit generation, which determines the extent to which it 
will be able to utilize the deferred tax assets.

PROVISIONS
Provisions arise when there is some uncertainty in the timing or amount 
of a loss in the future. Provisions are based on the Bank’s best estimate 
of all expenditures required to settle its present obligations, considering 
all relevant risks and uncertainties, as well as, when material, the effect 
of the time value of money.

Many of the Bank’s provisions relate to various legal actions that the 

Bank is involved in during the ordinary course of business. Legal provi-
sions require the involvement of both the Bank’s management and 
legal counsel when assessing the probability of a loss and estimating 
any monetary impact. Throughout the life of a provision, the Bank’s 
management or legal counsel may learn of additional information that 
may impact its assessments about the probability of loss or about the 
estimates of amounts involved. Changes in these assessments may lead 
to changes in the amount recorded for provisions. In addition, the 
actual costs of resolving these claims may be substantially higher or 
lower than the amounts recognized. The Bank reviews its legal provi-
sions on a case-by-case basis after considering, among other factors, 
the progress of each case, the Bank’s experience, the experience of 
others in similar cases, and the opinions and views of legal counsel.

Certain of the Bank’s provisions relate to restructuring initiatives 

initiated by the Bank to reduce costs in a sustainable manner and 
achieve greater operational efficiencies. Restructuring provisions 
require management’s best estimate, including forecasts of economic 
conditions. Throughout the life of a provision, the Bank may become 
aware of additional information that may impact the assessment of 
amounts to be incurred. Changes in these assessments may lead to 
changes in the amount recorded for provisions.

INSURANCE
The assumptions used in establishing the Bank’s insurance claims and 
policy benefit liabilities are based on best estimates of possible outcomes. 
For property and casualty insurance, the ultimate cost of claims liabil-
ities is estimated using a range of standard actuarial claims projection 
techniques in accordance with Canadian accepted actuarial practices. 
The main assumption underlying these techniques is that a company’s 
past claims development experience can be used to project future 
claims development and hence ultimate claims costs. As such, these 
methods extrapolate the development of paid and incurred losses, 
average costs per claim and claim numbers based on the observed 
development of earlier years and expected loss ratios. Additional quali-
tative judgment is used to assess the extent to which past trends may 
or may not apply in the future, in order to arrive at the estimated  
ultimate claims cost that present the most likely outcome. 

For life and health insurance, actuarial liabilities consider all future 
policy cash flows, including premiums, claims, and expenses required 
to administer the policies.

The Bank’s mortality assumptions have been derived from a combi-

nation of its own experience and industry experience. Policyholders 
may allow their policies to lapse by choosing not to continue to pay 
premiums. The Bank bases its estimates of future lapse rates on previous 
experience when available, or industry experience. Estimates of future 
policy administration expenses are based on the Bank’s previous and 
expected future experience. 

CONSOLIDATION OF SPECIAL PURPOSE ENTITIES 
Management judgment is required when assessing whether the Bank 
should consolidate an entity, particularly complex entities. For instance, 
given that SPEs may not be controlled directly through holding the 
majority of voting rights, management judgment is required to assess 
whether all the relevant facts and circumstances, when considered 
together, would indicate that the Bank controls such an SPE, including 
an analysis of the Bank’s exposure to the risks and rewards of the SPE. 
These judgments are discussed further in Note 2.

CURRENT AND FUTURE CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES

CURRENT CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING POLICY
The following amendment has been adopted by the Bank.

Presentation of Other Comprehensive Income
Effective November 1, 2012, the Bank adopted the amendments  
to IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements (IAS 1), issued in 
June 2011, which require entities to group items presented in other 
comprehensive income on the basis of whether they might be reclas-
sified to the Consolidated Statement of Income in subsequent periods 
and items that will not be reclassified to the Consolidated Statement 
of Income. The amendments did not address which items are 
presented in other comprehensive income and did not change the 
option to present items net of tax. The amendments to IAS 1 were 
applied retrospectively and did not have a material impact on the 
financial position, cash flows or earnings of the Bank. 

FUTURE CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following standards have been issued, but are not yet effective on 
the date of issuance of the Bank’s Consolidated Financial Statements. 
The Bank is currently assessing the impact of the application of these 
standards on the Consolidated Financial Statements and will adopt 
these standards when they become effective.

Consolidation 
The following new and amended guidance relates to consolidated 
financial statements:
•   IFRS 10, Consolidated Financial Statements (IFRS 10), which replaces 
IAS 27, Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements (IAS 27), 
and SIC-12, Consolidation – Special-Purpose Entities (SIC-12); 

•   IFRS 11, Joint Arrangements (IFRS 11);
•   IFRS 12, Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities (IFRS 12);

132

TD BANK GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2013 FINANCIAL RESULTS•   IFRS 10, 11, 12 (amendments), Consolidated Financial Statements, 
Joint Arrangements and Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities: 
Transition Guidance;

•   IFRS 10, 11, 12 (amendments), Investment Entities; and 
•   IAS 27 (Revised 2011), Separate Financial Statements (IAS 27R), 

which has been amended for conforming changes on the basis of 
the issuance of IFRS 10 and IFRS 11.

The standards and amendments will result in a revised definition of 
control that applies to all entities. Each of the above standards is  
effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, 
which will be November 1, 2013 for the Bank, and is to be applied 
retrospectively, allowing for certain practical exceptions and transition 
relief. The adoption of the above standards will require the Bank to 
re-assess its consolidation analyses for all of its investees, including  
but not limited to, its subsidiaries, associates, joint ventures, special 
purpose entities (SPEs) and its involvement with other third party  
entities. Additional detail on the implementation of these standards  
is noted below.

Consolidated Financial Statements 
The Bank’s adoption of IFRS 10 will result in the deconsolidation of  
TD Capital Trust IV (Trust IV) which was previously consolidated by the 
Bank. Upon deconsolidation of Trust IV, the TD Capital Trust IV Notes 
(TD CaTS IV Notes) issued by Trust IV will be removed from the Bank’s 
Consolidated Balance Sheet. This will result in a decrease to Liability 
for capital trust securities of $1.75 billion which will be replaced with 
an equivalent amount of deposit note liabilities issued by the Bank to 
Trust IV, resulting in an increase to deposit note liabilities of $1.75 
billion. The impact to the Bank’s opening equity will be a decrease of 
approximately $11 million due to the interest rate differential between 
the TD CaTS IV Notes and the deposit notes. Other than the deconsoli-
dation of Trust IV, IFRS 10 is not expected to have a material impact on 
the financial position, cash flows, or earnings of the Bank. 

Joint Arrangements 
IFRS 11 replaces guidance previously provided in IAS 31 Interests  
in Joint Ventures (IAS 31) and SIC-13 Jointly Controlled Entities –  
Non-Monetary Contributions by Venturers. The new standard outlines 
the principles relating to the accounting for joint arrangements which 
are arrangements where two or more parties have joint control. It  
also requires use of the equity method of accounting when accounting 
for joint ventures as compared to proportionate consolidation which is 
the current accounting policy choice adopted by the Bank under IAS 
31. The adoption of IFRS 11 is not expected to have a material impact 
on the financial position, cash flows or earnings of the Bank.

Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities 
IFRS 12 requires enhanced disclosures about both consolidated entities 
and unconsolidated entities in which an entity has involvement. The 
objective of IFRS 12 is to present information so that financial state-
ment users may evaluate the basis of control, any restrictions on 
consolidated assets and liabilities; risk exposures arising from involve-
ment with unconsolidated structured entities; non-controlling interest 
holders’ involvement in the activities of consolidated entities; and the 
Bank’s exposure to associates and joint ventures. The adoption of IFRS 
12 is not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated 
financial statements of the Bank; however the standard will result in 
additional disclosures.

Fair Value Measurement
IFRS 13, Fair Value Measurement (IFRS 13), provides a single frame-
work for fair value measurement and applies when other IFRS’s require 
or permit fair measurements or disclosures. The standard provides 
guidance on measuring fair value using the assumptions that market 
participants would use when pricing the asset or liability under current 
market conditions. IFRS 13 is effective for annual periods beginning  
on or after January 1, 2013, which will be November 1, 2013 for the 
Bank, and is to be applied prospectively. This new standard is not 
expected to have a material impact on the financial position, cash 
flows or earnings of the Bank; however the standard will result in  
additional fair value disclosures.

Employee Benefits 
The amendments to IAS 19, Employee Benefits, issued in June 2011, 
eliminate the corridor approach for actuarial gains and losses, requir-
ing the Bank to recognize immediately all actuarial gains and losses in 
other comprehensive income. Net interest expense or income is calcu-
lated by applying the discount rate to the net defined benefit asset or 
liability, and will be recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Income, 
along with present and past service costs for the period. Plan amend-
ment costs will be recognized in the period of a plan amendment,  
irrespective of its vested status. Furthermore, a termination benefit 
obligation will be recognized when the Bank can no longer withdraw 
the offer of the termination benefit, or when it recognizes related 
restructuring costs. 

The amendments to IAS 19 are effective for annual periods begin-
ning on or after January 1, 2013, which will be November 1, 2013 for 
the Bank, and are to be applied retrospectively. On November 1, 2011, 
the transition date, the amendments are expected to result in a 
decrease in retained earnings of approximately $136 million, resulting 
from the recognition of actuarial losses. 

Once the Bank adopts the amendments to IAS 19, the following 

approximate impacts are expected:

(millions of Canadian dollars) 

Increase (decrease) in deferred tax assets  
Increase (decrease) in defined benefit asset      
Increase (decrease) in deferred tax liabilities

Presentation and Disclosures – Offsetting Financial Assets and 
Financial Liabilities
In December 2011, the IASB issued the following amendments related 
to the offsetting of financial instruments: 
•   IFRS 7, Financial Instruments: Disclosures (IFRS 7), which provides 
common disclosure requirements intended to help investors  
and other users to better assess the effect or potential effect of 
offsetting arrangements on a company’s financial position; and
•   IAS 32, Financial Instruments: Presentation (IAS 32), which clarifies 

the existing requirements for offsetting financial assets and  
financial liabilities.

The IFRS 7 amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on

Bank. The IAS 32 amendments are effective for annual periods begin-
ning on or after January 1, 2014, which will be November 1, 2014 for 
the Bank. Both amendments are to be applied retrospectively. The IFRS 
7 amendments are not expected to have a material impact on the 
consolidated financial statements of the Bank; however the standard 
will result in additional disclosures. The IAS 32 amendments are not 
expected to have a material impact on the financial position, cash 
flows or earnings of the Bank.

Levies
In May 2013, the IFRS Interpretations Committee (IFRIC), with the 
approval by the IASB, issued IFRIC 21, Levies (IFRIC 21). IFRIC 21 
provides guidance on when to recognize a liability to pay a levy 
imposed by government that is accounted for in accordance with 
IAS 37, Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets. 
IFRIC 21 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after  
January 1, 2014, which will be November 1, 2014 for the Bank,  
and is to be applied retrospectively. The Bank is currently assessing  
the impact of adopting this interpretation.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Certain financial instruments are carried on the balance sheet at their 
fair value. These financial instruments include trading loans and securi-
ties, assets and liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss, 
instruments classified as available-for-sale, derivatives, certain securities 
purchased under reverse repurchase agreements, certain deposits  
classified as trading, securitization liabilities at fair value, obligations 
related to securities sold short, and certain obligations related to secu-
rities sold under repurchase agreements. All other financial assets are 
carried at amortized cost and the fair value is disclosed below.

METHODS AND ASSUMPTIONS
The Bank calculates fair values based on the following methods of 
valuation and assumptions:

Government and Government-Related Securities
The fair value of Canadian government debt securities is primarily based 
on quoted prices in active markets, where available. Where quoted 
prices are not available, valuation techniques such as discounted cash 
flow models may be used, which maximize the use of observable 
inputs such as government yield curves. 

The fair value of U.S. federal and state government, as well as 
agency debt securities, is determined by reference to recent transac-
tion prices, broker quotes, or third-party vendor prices. Brokers or 
third-party vendors may use a pool-specific valuation model to value 
these securities. Observable market inputs to the model include To Be 
Announced (TBA) market prices, the applicable indices, and metrics 
such as the coupon, maturity, and weighted average maturity of the 
pool. Market inputs used in the valuation model include, but are not 
limited to, indexed yield curves and trading spreads. 

Financial Instruments
IFRS 9, Financial Instruments (IFRS 9), reflects the IASB’s work on the 
replacement of IAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and 
Measurement (IAS 39) and will be completed and implemented in 
three separate phases: 1) Classification and measurement of financial 
assets and liabilities; 2) Impairment methodology; and 3) Hedge 
accounting. General hedge accounting requirements will be added as 
part of phase 3 of the IFRS 9 project, while accounting for macro 
hedging has been decoupled from IFRS 9 and will now be considered 
and issued as a separate standard. The IASB decided in November 
2013 to delay the mandatory effective date of IFRS 9 and to leave 
open the mandatory effective date pending the finalization of the 
impairment requirements. The Bank is currently monitoring the impact 
of adopting IFRS 9, as well as any potential future amendments 
thereto, including the proposed accounting for macro hedging.

Novation of Derivatives and Continuation of Hedge Accounting
In June 2013, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 39, Financial  
Instruments: Recognition and Measurement which provides relief  
from discontinuing hedge accounting when novation of a derivative 
designated as a hedge accounting instrument meets certain criteria. 
The IAS 39 amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on 
or after January 1, 2014, which will be November 1, 2014 for the 
Bank, and is to be applied retrospectively. The IAS 39 amendments are 
not expected to have a material impact on the financial position, cash 
flows or earnings of the Bank.

The fair value of residential mortgage-backed securities is primarily 

determined using valuation techniques, such as the use of option-
adjusted spread (OAS) models which include inputs such as prepay-
ment rate assumptions related to the underlying collateral. Observable 
inputs include, but are not limited to, indexed yield curves, and bid-ask 
spreads. Other inputs may include volatility assumptions derived using 
Monte Carlo simulations and take into account factors such as coun-
terparty credit quality, liquidity, and concentration.

Other Debt Securities
The fair value of corporate and other debt securities, including debt 
securities reclassified from trading, is primarily based on broker quotes, 
third-party vendor prices, or other valuation techniques, such as 
discounted cash flow techniques. Market inputs used in the valuation 
techniques or underlying third-party vendor prices or broker quotes 
include benchmark and government yield curves, credit spreads, and 
trade execution data.

Asset-backed securities are primarily fair valued using third-party 
vendor prices. The third-party vendor employs a valuation model which 
maximizes the use of observable inputs such as benchmark yield curves 
and bid-ask spreads. The model also takes into account relevant data 
about the underlying collateral, such as weighted average terms to 
maturity and prepayment rate assumptions.

Equity Securities
The fair value of equity securities is based on quoted prices in active 
markets, where available. Where quoted prices in active markets are 
not readily available, such as for private equity securities, or there is  
a wide bid-offer spread, fair value is determined based on quoted 
market prices for similar securities or through valuation techniques, 
including discounted cash flow analysis, and multiples of earnings 
before taxes, depreciation, and amortization, and other relevant  
valuation techniques.

TD BANK GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2013 FINANCIAL RESULTSIf there are trading restrictions on the equity security held, a valua-

A credit risk valuation adjustment (CRVA) is recognized against the 

tion adjustment is recognized against available prices to reflect the 
nature of the restriction. However, restrictions that are not part of the 
security held and represent a separate contractual arrangement that 
has been entered into by the Bank and a third party should not impact 
the fair value of the original instrument.

Retained Interests
The methods and assumptions used to determine fair value of retained 
interests are described in Note 3.

Loans
The estimated fair value of loans carried at amortized cost, other than 
debt securities classified as loans, reflects changes in market price  
that have occurred since the loans were originated or purchased. For 
fixed-rate performing loans, estimated fair value is determined by 
discounting the expected future cash flows related to these loans at 
current market interest rates for loans with similar credit risks. For 
floating rate performing loans, changes in interest rates have minimal 
impact on fair value since loans reprice to market frequently. On that 
basis, fair value is assumed to approximate carrying value. The fair 
value of loans is not adjusted for the value of any credit protection  
the Bank has purchased to mitigate credit risk.

At initial recognition, debt securities classified as loans do not 
include securities with quoted prices in active markets. When quoted 
market prices are not readily available, fair value is based on quoted 
market prices of similar securities, other third-party evidence or by 
using a valuation technique that maximizes the use of observable 
market inputs. If quoted prices in active markets subsequently become 
available, these are used to determine fair value for debt securities 
classified as loans. 

The fair value of loans carried at fair value through profit or loss, 

which includes trading loans and loans designated at fair value 
through profit or loss, is determined using observable market prices, 
where available. Where the Bank is a market maker for loans traded in 
the secondary market, fair value is determined using executed prices, 
or prices for comparable trades. For those loans where the Bank is not 
a market maker, the Bank obtains broker quotes from other reputable 
dealers, and corroborates this information using valuation techniques 
or obtaining consensus or composite prices from pricing services.

Commodities
The fair value of physical commodities is based on quoted prices in 
active markets, where available. The Bank also transacts in commodity 
derivative contracts which can be traded on an exchange or in OTC 
markets. The fair value determination of derivative financial instru-
ments is described below. 

Derivative Financial Instruments
The fair value of exchange-traded derivative financial instruments is 
based on quoted market prices. The fair value of OTC derivative financial 
instruments is estimated using well established valuation techniques, 
such as discounted cash flow techniques, the Black-Scholes model, and 
Monte Carlo simulation. The valuation models incorporate prevailing 
market rates and prices of underlying instruments with similar maturities 
and characteristics.

Prices derived by using models are recognized net of valuation 
adjustments. The inputs used in the valuation models depend on the 
type of derivative and the nature of the underlying instrument and are 
specific to the instrument being valued. Inputs can include, but are not 
limited to, interest rate yield curves, foreign exchange rates, dividend 
yield projections, commodity spot and forward prices, recovery rates, 
volatilities, spot prices, and correlation. 

model value of OTC derivatives to account for the uncertainty that 
either counterparty in a derivative transaction may not be able to fulfill 
its obligations under the transaction. In determining CRVA, the Bank 
takes into account master netting agreements and collateral, and 
considers the creditworthiness of the counterparty and the Bank itself, 
in assessing potential future amounts owed to, or by the Bank.

In the case of defaulted counterparties, a specific provision is estab-

lished to recognize the estimated realizable value, net of collateral 
held, based on market pricing in effect at the time the default is recog-
nized. In these instances, the estimated realizable value is measured by 
discounting the expected future cash flows at an appropriate effective 
interest rate immediately prior to impairment, after adjusting for the 
value of collateral. The fair value of non-trading derivatives is deter-
mined on the same basis as for trading derivatives.

Deposits
The estimated fair value of term deposits is determined by discounting 
the contractual cash flows using interest rates currently offered for 
deposits with similar terms.

For deposits with no defined maturities, the Bank considers fair 

value to equal carrying value, which is equivalent to the amount 
payable on the balance sheet date.

For trading deposits, fair value is determined using discounted cash 

flow valuation techniques which maximize the use of observable 
market inputs such as benchmark yield curves and foreign exchange 
rates. The Bank considers the impact of its own creditworthiness in the 
valuation of these deposits by reference to observable market inputs.

Securitization Liabilities
The fair value of securitization liabilities is based on quoted market 
prices or quoted market prices for similar financial instruments, where 
available. Where quoted prices are not available, fair value is determined 
using valuation techniques, which maximize the use of observable 
inputs, such as Canada Mortgage Bond prices.

Obligations Related to Securities Sold Short
The fair value of these obligations is based on the fair value of the 
underlying securities, which can include equity or debt securities. As 
these obligations are fully collateralized, the method used to determine 
fair value would be the same as that of the relevant underlying equity 
or debt securities.

Securities Purchased Under Reverse Repurchase Agreements  
and Obligations Related to Securities Sold under  
Repurchase Agreements
Commodities purchased or sold with an agreement to sell or repurchase 
them at a later date at a fixed price are carried at fair value on the 
Consolidated Balance Sheet. The fair value of these agreements is 
based on valuation techniques such as discounted cash flow models 
which maximize the use of observable market inputs such as interest 
rate swap curves and commodity forward prices.

Subordinated Notes and Debentures
The fair value of subordinated notes and debentures are based on 
quoted market prices for similar issues or current rates offered to the 
Bank for debt of equivalent credit quality and remaining maturity.

Liabilities for Preferred Shares and Capital Trust Securities
The fair value for preferred share liabilities and capital trust securities 
are based on quoted market prices of the same or similar financial 
instruments.

Carrying Value and Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair values in the following table exclude the value of assets that  
are not financial instruments, such as land, buildings and equipment,  
as well as goodwill and other intangible assets, including customer  
relationships, which are of significant value to the Bank.

securities of $6 million (October 31, 2012 – $5 million) are assumed to approximate 
fair value in the absence of quoted market prices in an active market.

2  Includes debt securities reclassified from available-for-sale to held-to-maturity. 
Refer to Note 6, Securities for carrying value and fair value of the reclassified  
debt securities.

Fair Value Hierarchy
IFRS requires disclosure of a three-level hierarchy for fair value 
measurements based upon transparency of inputs to the valuation of 
an asset or liability as of the measurement date. The three levels are 
defined as follows: 

Level 1: Fair value is based on quoted market prices in active markets 
for identical assets or liabilities. Level 1 assets and liabilities generally 
include debt and equity securities and derivative contracts that are 
traded in an active exchange market, as well as certain Canadian and 
U.S. Treasury bills and other Canadian and U.S. Government and 
agency mortgage-backed securities, and certain securitization liabili-
ties, that are highly liquid and are actively traded in OTC markets.

Level 2: Fair value is based on observable inputs other than Level 1 
prices, such as quoted market prices for similar (but not identical) 
assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted market prices for identical 
assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, and other inputs that 
are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for 
substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 2 assets and 
liabilities include debt securities with quoted prices that are traded less 
frequently than exchange-traded instruments and derivative contracts 

whose value is determined using valuation techniques with inputs that 
are observable in the market or can be derived principally from or 
corroborated by observable market data. This category generally 
includes Canadian and U.S. Government securities, Canadian and U.S. 
agency mortgage-backed debt securities, corporate debt securities, 
certain derivative contracts, certain securitization liabilities, and certain 
trading deposits.

Level 3: Fair value is based on non-observable inputs that are 
supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the 
fair value of the assets or liabilities. Financial instruments classified 
within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy are initially fair valued at their 
transaction price, which is considered the best estimate of fair value. 
After initial measurement, the fair value of Level 3 assets and liabilities 
is determined using valuation models, discounted cash flow methodol-
ogies, or similar techniques. This category generally includes retained 
interests in certain loan securitizations and certain derivative contracts.

The following table presents the levels within the fair value hierarchy  
for each of the financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value as  
at October 31, 2013 and October 31, 2012.

1  As at October 31, 2013, the carrying values of certain available-for-sale equity 

securities of $6 million (October 31, 2012 – $5 million) are assumed to approximate 
fair value in the absence of quoted market prices in an active market.

2  As at October 31, 2013, common shares include the fair value of Federal Reserve 
Stock and Federal Home Loan Bank stock of $930 million (October 31, 2012 –  
$956 million) which are redeemable by the issuer at cost for which cost approximates 
fair value. These securities cannot be traded in the market, hence these securities 
have not been subject to sensitivity analysis of Level 3 financial assets and liabilities.

Significant transfers into and out of Level 3 reflected in the table 
above, occur mainly due to the following reasons: 
•   Transfers from Level 3 to Level 2 occur when techniques used for 
valuing the instrument incorporate significant observable market 
inputs or broker-dealer quotes which were previously not observable. 

•   Transfers from Level 2 to Level 3 occur when an instrument’s fair 

value, which was previously determined using valuation techniques 
with significant observable market inputs, is now determined using 
valuation techniques with significant non-observable inputs.

Due to the unobservable nature of the inputs used to value Level 3 
financial instruments there may be uncertainty about the valuation of 
these instruments. The fair value of level 3 instruments may be drawn 
from a range of reasonably possible alternatives. In determining the 
appropriate levels for these unobservable inputs, parameters are chosen 
so that they are consistent with prevailing market evidence and 
management judgement.

The following table summarizes the potential effect of using reason-
ably possible alternative assumptions for financial assets and financial 
liabilities held, as at October 31, 2013 and October 31, 2012, that  
are classified in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. For interest rate 
derivatives, the Bank performed a sensitivity analysis on the unobserv-
able implied volatility. For credit derivatives, sensitivity was calculated 
on unobservable credit spreads using assumptions derived from the 
underlying bond position credit spreads. For equity derivatives, the 
sensitivity is calculated by using reasonably possible alternative 
assumptions by shocking dividends by 5%, correlation by 10%, or  
the price of the underlying equity instrument by 10% and volatility 
from (13)% to 33%. For trading deposits the sensitivity is calculated  
by varying unobservable inputs which may include volatility, credit 
spreads, and correlation.

The best evidence of a financial instrument’s fair value at initial recog-
nition is its transaction price unless the fair value of the instrument  
is evidenced by comparison with other observable current market 
transactions in the same instrument (that is, without modification or 
repackaging) or based on a valuation technique whose variables 
include only data from observable markets. Consequently, the differ-
ence between the fair value using other observable current market 
transactions or a valuation technique and the transaction price results 
in an unrealized gain or loss at initial recognition.

The difference between the transaction price at initial recognition 

and the value determined at that date using a valuation technique  
is not recognized in income until the non-observable inputs in the  
valuation technique used to value the instruments become observable. 
The following table summarizes the aggregate difference yet to be 
recognized in net income due to the difference between the transac-
tion price and the amount determined using valuation techniques with 
non-observable market inputs at initial recognition.

FINANCIAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES DESIGNATED  
AT FAIR VALUE
Loans Designated at Fair Value through Profit or Loss
Certain business and government loans held within a trading portfolio 
or economically hedged with derivatives are designated at fair value 
through profit or loss if the relevant criteria are met. The fair value  
of loans designated at fair value through profit or loss was $9 million 
as at October 31, 2013 (October 31, 2012 – $13 million), which  
represents their maximum credit exposure.

These loans are managed within risk limits that have been approved 

by the Bank’s risk management group and are hedged for credit risk 
with credit derivatives. 

Securities Designated at Fair Value through Profit or Loss
Certain securities that support insurance reserves within certain of  
the Bank’s insurance subsidiaries have been designated at fair value 
through profit or loss. The actuarial valuation of the insurance reserve 
is measured using a discount factor which is based on the yield of the 

supporting invested assets, with changes in the discount factor being 
recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Income. By designating 
the securities at fair value through profit or loss, the unrealized gain or 
loss on the securities is recognized in the Consolidated Statement of 
Income in the same period as a portion of the income or loss resulting 
from changes to the discount rate used to value the insurance liabilities. 
In addition, certain government and government-insured securities 

have been combined with derivatives to form economic hedging  
relationships. These securities are being held as part of the Bank’s overall 
interest rate risk management strategy and have been designated at fair 
value through profit or loss. The derivatives are carried at fair value, with 
the change in fair value recognized in non-interest income.

Securitization Liabilities at Fair Value
Securitization liabilities at fair value include securitization liabilities 
classified as trading and those designated at fair value through profit 
or loss. The fair value of a financial liability incorporates the credit risk 
of that financial liability. The holders of the securitization liabilities are 
not exposed to credit risk of the Bank and accordingly, changes in the 
Bank’s own credit do not impact the determination of fair value. 

The amount that the Bank would be contractually required to pay at 
maturity for all securitization liabilities designated at fair value through 
profit or loss was $123 million less than the carrying amount as at 
October 31, 2013 (October 31, 2012 – $445 million less than the 
carrying amount).

Other Liabilities Designated at Fair Value through Profit or Loss
The Bank issues certain loan commitments to customers to provide  
a mortgage at a fixed rate. These commitments are economically 
hedged with derivatives and other financial instruments where the 
changes in fair value are recognized in non-interest income. The desig-
nation of these loan commitments at fair value through profit or loss 
eliminates an accounting mismatch that would otherwise arise. Due  
to the short term nature of these loan commitments, changes in the 
Bank’s own credit do not have a significant impact on the determina-
tion of fair value.

Income (Loss) from Changes in Fair Value of Financial Assets  
and Liabilities Designated at Fair Value through Profit or Loss 
During the year ended October 31, 2013 the income (loss) repre-
senting net changes in the fair value of financial assets and liabilities 
designated at fair value through profit or loss was $(129) million  
(2012 – $(5) million).

SECURITIES

RECLASSIFICATION OF CERTAIN DEBT SECURITIES –  
TRADING TO AVAILABLE-FOR-SALE
During 2008, the Bank changed its trading strategy with respect to 
certain debt securities as a result of deterioration in markets and 
severe dislocation in the credit market. These debt securities were 
initially recorded as trading securities measured at fair value with any 
changes in fair value as well as any gains or losses realized on disposal 
recognized in Trading income. Since the Bank no longer intended to 
actively trade in these debt securities, the Bank reclassified these debt 
securities from trading to available-for-sale effective August 1, 2008.
The fair value of the reclassified debt securities was $905 million  
as at October 31, 2013 (October 31, 2012 – $1,264 million). For the 
year ended October 31, 2013, net interest income of $62 million  
after tax (year ended October 31, 2012 – $90 million after tax) was 
recorded relating to the reclassified debt securities. The decrease in  
fair value of these securities during the year ended October 31, 2013 
of $25 million after tax (October 31, 2012 – increase of $26 million 
after tax) was recorded in other comprehensive income. Had the Bank 
not reclassified these debt securities, the change in the fair value of 
these debt securities would have been included as part of trading 
income, the impact of which would have resulted in a decrease in  
net income for the year ended October 31, 2013 of $25 million after 
tax (October 31, 2012 – increase of $26 million after tax). During the 
year ended October 31, 2013, reclassified debt securities with a fair 
value of $420 million (October 31, 2012 – $789 million) were sold or 
matured, and $28 million after tax (October 31, 2012 – $23 million 
after tax) was recorded in net securities gains during the year ended 
October 31, 2013.

RECLASSIFICATIONS OF CERTAIN SECURITIES FROM  
AVAILABLE-FOR-SALE TO HELD-TO-MATURITY 
a)  On March 1, 2013, the Bank reclassified certain debt securities total-
ling $11.1 billion from available-for-sale to held-to-maturity. For these 
debt securities, the Bank’s strategy is to earn the yield to maturity to 
aid in prudent capital management under Basel III. These debt secu-
rities were previously recorded at fair value, with changes in fair 
value recognized in other comprehensive income. The reclassification 
is a non-cash transaction that is excluded from the Consolidated 
Statement of Cash Flows.
   The fair value and carrying value of the reclassified debt securities 
was $9.4 billion and $9.4 billion, respectively, as at October 31, 
2013. The decrease in fair value of these securities recorded in other 
comprehensive income from November 1, 2012 to February 28, 
2013 was $20 million after tax (year ended October 31, 2012 – 
increase in fair value of $106 million after tax). On the date of 
reclassification, these debt securities had a weighted-average effec-
tive interest rate of 1.8% with expected recoverable cash flows, on 
an undiscounted basis, of $11.3 billion. Subsequent to the date of 
reclassification, the net unrealized gain recognized in other compre-
hensive income is amortized to interest income over the remaining 
life of the reclassified debt securities using the EIRM. Had the Bank 
not reclassified these debt securities, the change in the fair value 

recognized in other comprehensive income for these debt securities 
would have been a decrease of $81 million for the period March 1, 
2013 to October 31, 2013. After the reclassification, the debt secu-
rities contributed the following amounts to net income.

b)  On September 23, 2013, the Bank reclassified certain debt securities 
totalling $9.9 billion from available-for-sale to held-to-maturity. For 
these debt securities, the Bank’s strategy is to earn the yield to 
maturity to aid in prudent capital management under Basel III. These 
debt securities were previously recorded at fair value, with changes 
in fair value recognized in other comprehensive income. The reclas-
sification is a non-cash transaction that is excluded from the Consol-
idated Statement of Cash Flows.
   The fair value and carrying value of the reclassified debt securities 
was $10.0 billion and $9.9 billion, respectively, as at October 31, 
2013. The decrease in fair value of these securities recorded in other 
comprehensive income from November 1, 2012 to September 22, 
2013 was $158 million after tax (year ended October 31, 2012 – 
increase in fair value of $59 million after tax). On the date of reclas-
sification, these debt securities had a weighted-average effective 
interest rate of 1.9% with expected recoverable cash flows, on an 
undiscounted basis, of $10.7 billion. Subsequent to the date of 
reclassification, the net unrealized gain recognized in other compre-
hensive income is amortized to interest income over the remaining 
life of the reclassified debt securities using the EIRM. Had the Bank 
not reclassified these debt securities, the change in the fair value 
recognized in other comprehensive income for these debt securities 
would have been an increase of $37 million for the period Septem-
ber 23, 2013 to October 31, 2013. After the reclassification, the 
debt securities contributed the following amounts to net income.

1  Excludes allowance for off-balance sheet positions.
2  Excludes trading loans with a fair value of $10,219 million as at October 31, 2013 
(October 31, 2012 – $8,271 million) and amortized cost of $9,891 million as at 
October 31, 2013 (October 31, 2012 – $7,918 million), and loans designated at 
fair value through profit or loss of $9 million as at October 31, 2013 (October 31, 
2012 – $13 million). No allowance is recorded for trading loans or loans designated 
at fair value through profit or loss.

3  Includes insured mortgages of $129,805 million as at October 31, 2013  

(October 31, 2012 – $126,951 million).

4  As at October 31, 2013, impaired loans with a balance of $497 million did not 
have a related allowance for loan losses (October 31, 2012 – $456 million). An 
allowance was not required for these loans as the balance relates to loans that  
are insured or loans where the realizable value of the collateral exceeded the  
loan amount. 

5  Includes Canadian government-insured real estate personal loans of $26,725 million 

as at October 31, 2013 (October 31, 2012 – $30,241 million).

Foreclosed assets are repossessed non-financial assets where the Bank 
gains title, ownership or possession of individual properties, such as 
real estate properties, which are managed for sale in an orderly manner 
with the proceeds used to reduce or repay any outstanding debt. The 
Bank does not generally occupy foreclosed properties for its business 
use. In order to determine the carrying value of foreclosed assets, the 
Bank predominantly relies on third-party appraisals. Foreclosed assets 

held for sale were $233 million as at October 31, 2013 (October 31, 
2012 – $254 million) and was recorded in Other assets on the Consoli-
dated Balance Sheet.

this Note. 

3  The allowance for credit losses for off-balance sheet positions is recorded in  

Provisions on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

LOANS PAST DUE BUT NOT IMPAIRED
A loan is classified as past due when a borrower has failed to make a 
payment by the contractual due date, taking into account the grace 
period, if applicable. The grace period represents the additional time 
period beyond the contractual due date during which a borrower may 
make the payment without the loan being classified as past due. The 
grace period varies depending on the product type and the borrower.

The following table summarizes loans that are contractually past 
due but not impaired as at October 31, 2013 and October 31, 2012. 
U.S. Personal and Commercial Banking may grant a grace period  
of up to 15 days. There were $2.0 billion as at October 31, 2013 
(October 31, 2012 – $1.9 billion) of U.S. Personal and Commercial 
Banking loans that were past due up to 15 days that are included  
in the 1-30 days category in the following tables.

Collateral
As at October 31, 2013, the fair value of financial collateral held 
against loans that were past due but not impaired was $172 million 
(October 31, 2012 – $167 million). In addition, the Bank also holds 
non-financial collateral as security for loans. The fair value of non-
financial collateral is determined at the origination date of the loan.  
A revaluation of non-financial collateral is performed if there has been 
a significant change in the terms and conditions of the loan and/or the 
loan is considered impaired. Management considers the nature of the 
collateral, seniority ranking of the debt, and loan structure in assessing 
the value of collateral. These estimated cash flows are reviewed at 
least annually, or more frequently when new information indicates  
a change in the timing or amount expected to be received.

Gross Impaired Debt Securities Classified as Loans
As at October 31, 2013, impaired loans excludes $1.2 billion  
(October 31, 2012 – $1.5 billion) of gross impaired debt securities  
classified as loans. Subsequent to any recorded impairment, interest 
income continues to be recognized using the EIR which was used  
to discount the future cash flows for the purpose of measuring the 
credit loss.

ACQUIRED CREDIT-IMPAIRED LOANS 
ACI loans are comprised of commercial, retail and FDIC covered loans, 
from the acquisitions of South Financial, FDIC-assisted, Chrysler Finan-
cial, and the acquisitions of the credit card portfolios of MBNA Canada 
(MBNA) and Target Corporation (Target), with outstanding unpaid 
principal balances of $6.3 billion, $2.1 billion, $874 million, $334 
million, and $143 million, respectively, and fair values of $5.6 billion, 
$1.9 billion, $794 million, $136 million, and $85 million, respectively 
at the acquisition dates.

3  Management concluded as part of the Bank’s assessment of the ACI loans that it 
was probable that higher than estimated principal credit losses would result in a 
decrease in expected cash flows subsequent to acquisition. As a result, counter-
party-specific and individually insignificant allowances have been recognized.
4  Carrying value does not include the effect of the FDIC loss sharing agreement.

FDIC COVERED LOANS
As at October 31, 2013, the balance of FDIC covered loans was 
$787 million (October 31, 2012 – $1,002 million) and was recorded in 
Loans on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. As at October 31, 2013, the 
balance of indemnification assets was $81 million (October 31, 2012 – 
$90 million) and was recorded in Other assets on the Consolidated 
Balance Sheet.

TRANSFERS OF FINANCIAL ASSETS

LOAN SECURITIZATIONS
The Bank securitizes loans to SPEs or non-SPE third parties. Most loan 
securitizations do not qualify for derecognition since in certain circum-
stances, the Bank continues to be exposed to substantially all of the 
prepayment, interest rate, and/or credit risk associated with the securi-
tized financial assets and has not transferred substantially all of the risk 
and rewards of ownership of the securitized assets. Where loans do 
not qualify for derecognition, the loan is not derecognized from the 
balance sheet, retained interests are not recognized, and a securitization 
liability is recognized for the cash proceeds received. Certain transaction 
costs incurred are also capitalized and amortized using EIRM.

The Bank securitizes insured residential mortgages under the 

National Housing Act Mortgage-Backed Securities (NHA MBS) program 
sponsored by the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC). 
The MBS that are created through the NHA MBS program are sold to 
the Canada Housing Trust as part of the Canada Mortgage Bond (CMB) 

program and to third-party investors. The securitization of these  
residential mortgages do not qualify for derecognition as the Bank 
continues to be exposed to substantially all of the risks of the  
residential mortgages.

The Bank securitizes U.S. originated and purchased residential mort-
gages with U.S. government agencies which qualify for derecognition 
from the Bank’s Consolidated Balance Sheet. As part of the securitiza-
tion, the Bank retains the right to service the transferred mortgage 
loans. The MBS that are created through the securitization are typically 
sold to third-party investors. 

The Bank also securitizes personal loans and business and govern-
ment loans to SPEs or non-SPEs. These securitizations may give rise to 
full or partial derecognition of the financial assets depending on the 
individual arrangement of each transaction.

In addition, the Bank transfers financial assets to certain consolidated 

special purposes entities. See Note 9 for further details.

Other Financial Assets Not Qualifying for Derecognition
The Bank enters into certain transactions where it transfers previously 
recognized financial assets, such as debt and equity securities, but 
retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of those assets. These 
transferred financial assets are not derecognized and the transfers are 
accounted for as financing transactions. The most common transac-
tions of this nature are repurchase agreements and securities lending 
agreements, in which the Bank retains substantially all of the associated 
credit, price, interest rate, and foreign exchange risks and rewards 
associated with the assets.

The following table summarizes the carrying amount of financial assets 
and the associated transactions that did not qualify for derecognition, 
as well as their associated financial liabilities.

Transferred financial assets that are derecognized in their 
entirety but where the Bank has a continuing involvement
Continuing involvement may also arise if the Bank retains any contrac-
tual rights or obligations subsequent to the transfer of financial assets. 
Certain business and government loans securitized by the Bank are 
derecognized from the Bank’s Consolidated Balance Sheet. In instances 

where the Bank fully derecognizes business and government loans,  
the Bank may be exposed to the risks of transferred loans through a 
retained interest. As at October 31, 2013, the fair value of retained 
interests was $52 million (October 31, 2012 – $53 million). There are 
no expected credit losses on the retained interests of the securitized 
business and government loans as the mortgages are all government 
insured. A gain or loss on sale of the loans is recognized immediately 
in other income after considering the effect of hedge accounting on 
the assets sold, if applicable. The amount of the gain or loss recognized 
depends on the previous carrying values of the loans involved in the 
transfer, allocated between the assets sold and the retained interests 
based on their relative fair values at the date of transfer. The gain on 
sale of the loans for the year ended October 31, 2013 was $2 million 
(October 31, 2012 – $1 million). For the year ended October 31, 2013, 
the trading income recognized on the retained interest was $2 million 
(October 31, 2012 – $2 million).

Certain portfolios of U.S. residential mortgages originated by the 
Bank are sold and derecognized from the Bank’s Consolidated Balance 
Sheet. In instances where the Bank fully derecognizes these U.S.  
residential mortgages, the Bank has a continuing involvement to 
service those loans. As at October 31, 2013, the carrying value of 
these servicing rights was $17 million (October 31, 2012 – $3 million) 
and the fair value was $22 million (October 31, 2012 – $4 million).  
A gain or loss on sale of the loans is recognized immediately in other 
income. The gain on sale of the loans for the year ended October 31, 
2013 was $41 million (October 31, 2012 – $1 million).

TRANSFER OF DEBT SECURITIES CLASSIFIED AS LOANS 
The Bank sold $539 million of its non-agency collateralized mortgage 
obligation securities with no continuing involvement resulting in a  
gain on sale of $108 million for the year ended October 31, 2013. The 
gain was recorded in Other income on the Consolidated Statement  
of Income.

SPECIAL PURPOSE ENTITIES

SIGNIFICANT CONSOLIDATED SPECIAL PURPOSE ENTITIES
A SPE is an entity that is created to accomplish a narrow and well-
defined objective. SPEs are consolidated when the substance of the 
relationship between the Bank and the SPE indicates that the SPE is 
controlled by the Bank. The Bank’s interests in consolidated SPEs  
are discussed as follows:

Personal Loans
The Bank securitizes personal loans through consolidated SPEs to 
enhance its liquidity position, to diversify its sources of funding and  
to optimize management of its balance sheet. Where the SPEs are 
created primarily for the Bank’s benefit and the Bank is exposed to the 
majority of the residual risks of the SPEs, consolidation is required.  
The Bank is restricted from accessing the SPE’s assets under the rele-
vant arrangements.

Credit Cards
The Bank securitizes credit card loans through an SPE. The Bank 
acquired substantially all of the credit card portfolio of MBNA Canada 
on December 1, 2011. As a result, the Bank has consolidated the  

SPE as it serves as a financing vehicle for the Bank’s assets and the 
Bank is exposed to the majority of the residual risks of the SPE.  
The Bank is restricted from accessing the SPE’s assets under the rele-
vant arrangements.

Other Significant Consolidated SPEs
The Bank consolidates two other significant SPEs as they were created 
primarily for the Bank’s benefit and the Bank is exposed to the majority 
of the residual risks of the SPEs. One of the SPEs is funded by the Bank 
and purchases senior tranches of securitized assets from the Bank’s 
existing customers. Further, as at October 31, 2013, the Bank has 
currently committed to provide an additional $53 million in funding  
to the SPE. 

The second SPE was created to guarantee principal and interest 
payments in respect of covered bonds issued by the Bank. The Bank 
sold assets to the SPE and provided a loan to the SPE to facilitate the 
purchase. The Bank is restricted from accessing the SPE’s assets under 
the relevant arrangements.

The following table presents information related to the Bank’s significant 
consolidated SPEs.

SIGNIFICANT NON-CONSOLIDATED SPECIAL PURPOSE ENTITIES
The Bank holds interests in certain significant non-consolidated SPEs 
where the Bank is not exposed to the majority of the residual risks  
of the SPEs. The Bank’s interests in these non-consolidated SPEs are  
as follows:

Multi-Seller Conduits
Multi-seller conduits (also referred to as customer securitization vehi-
cles) provide customers with alternate sources of financing through the 
securitization of their assets. The customers sell their receivables to the 
conduit and the conduit funds its purchase of the receivables through 
issuance of short-term commercial paper to outside investors. Each 
seller continues to service its assets and absorb first losses. The Bank 
has no rights to the assets as they are owned by the conduit. The Bank 
administers the conduits and provides liquidity facilities as well as secu-
rities distribution services; it may also provide credit enhancements. 
The liquidity agreements are structured as loan facilities between the 
Bank, as the sole liquidity lender, and the Bank-sponsored trusts. If a 
trust experiences difficulty rolling over asset-backed commercial paper 
(ABCP), the trust may draw on the loan facility, and use the proceeds 
to pay maturing ABCP. The liquidity facilities cannot be drawn if a trust 
is insolvent or bankrupt, preconditions that must be satisfied preceding 
each advance (that is, draw-down on the facility). These preconditions 
are in place so that the Bank does not provide credit enhancement 
through the loan facilities to the trust. 

From time to time, the Bank in its capacity as distribution agent  
may hold commercial paper issued by the conduits. During the years 
ended October 31, 2013 and 2012, no amounts of ABCP were 
purchased pursuant to liquidity agreements. The Bank maintained 
inventory positions of ABCP issued by multi-seller conduits as part of 
its market-making and investment activities in ABCP. As at October 31, 
2013, the Bank held $1,717 million (October 31, 2012 – $128 million) 
of ABCP inventory, respectively, out of $9.6 billion (October 31,  
2012 – $7.5 billion) total outstanding ABCP issued by the conduits. 
The commercial paper held is classified as Trading or Available-for- 
sale securities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Bank earns  
fees from the conduits which are recognized when earned. The Bank 
monitors its ABCP inventory positions as part of the on-going consoli-
dation assessment process. 

The Bank’s maximum potential exposure to loss due to its ownership 

interest in commercial paper and through the provision of liquidity 
facilities for multi-seller conduits was $9.6 billion as at October 31, 2013 
(October 31, 2012 – $7.5 billion). Further, the Bank has committed to 
an additional $2.0 billion (October 31, 2012 – $2.2 billion) in liquidity 
facilities for ABCP that could potentially be issued by the conduits.

DERIVATIVES

DERIVATIVE PRODUCT TYPES AND RISK EXPOSURES
The majority of the Bank’s derivative contracts are OTC transactions 
that are privately negotiated between the Bank and the counterparty to 
the contract. The remainder are exchange-traded contracts transacted 
through organized and regulated exchanges and consist primarily of 
options and futures.

Interest Rate Derivatives
The Bank uses interest rate derivatives, such as interest rate futures 
and forwards, swaps, and options in managing interest rate risks. 
Interest rate risk is the impact that changes in interest rates could have 
on the Bank’s margins, earnings, and economic value. Changes in 
interest rate can impact the market value of fixed rate assets and  
liabilities. Further, certain assets and liabilities repayment rates vary 
depending on interest rates. 

Forward rate agreements are OTC contracts that effectively fix a 
future interest rate for a period of time. A typical forward rate agree-
ment provides that at a pre-determined future date, a cash settlement 
will be made between the counterparties based upon the difference 
between a contracted rate and a market rate to be determined in the 
future, calculated on a specified notional amount. No exchange of 
principal amount takes place.

Interest rate swaps are OTC contracts in which two counterparties 

agree to exchange cash flows over a period of time based on rates 
applied to a specified notional amount. A typical interest rate swap 
would require one counterparty to pay a fixed market interest rate in 
exchange for a variable market interest rate determined from time  
to time, with both calculated on a specified notional amount. No 
exchange of principal amount takes place. Certain interest rate swaps 
are transacted and settled through a clearing house which acts as a 
central counterparty.

Interest rate options are contracts in which one party (the purchaser 
of an option) acquires from another party (the writer of an option), in 
exchange for a premium, the right, but not the obligation, either to 
buy or sell, on a specified future date or series of future dates or 
within a specified time, a specified financial instrument at a contracted 
price. The underlying financial instrument will have a market price 
which varies in response to changes in interest rates. In managing the 
Bank’s interest rate exposure, the Bank acts as both a writer and 
purchaser of these options. Options are transacted both OTC and 
through exchanges. Interest rate futures are standardized contracts 
transacted on an exchange. They are based upon an agreement to buy 
or sell a specified quantity of a financial instrument on a specified 
future date, at a contracted price. These contracts differ from forward 
rate agreements in that they are in standard amounts with standard 
settlement dates and are transacted on an exchange.

Foreign Exchange Derivatives
The Bank uses foreign exchange derivatives, such as futures, forwards 
and swaps in managing foreign exchange risks. Foreign exchange risk 
refers to losses that could result from changes in foreign currency 
exchange rates. Assets and liabilities that are denominated in foreign 
currencies have foreign exchange risk. The Bank is exposed to non-
trading foreign exchange risk from its investments in foreign operations 
when the Bank’s foreign currency assets are greater or less than the 
liabilities in that currency; they create foreign currency open positions.
Foreign exchange forwards are OTC contracts in which one counter-

party contracts with another to exchange a specified amount of one 
currency for a specified amount of a second currency, at a future date 
or range of dates.

Swap contracts comprise foreign exchange swaps and cross-currency 
interest rate swaps. Foreign exchange swaps are transactions in which 
a foreign currency is simultaneously purchased in the spot market and 
sold in the forward market, or vice-versa. Cross-currency interest rate 
swaps are transactions in which counterparties exchange principal and 
interest cash flows in different currencies over a period of time. These 
contracts are used to manage currency and/or interest rate exposures.
Foreign exchange futures contracts are similar to foreign exchange 

forward contracts but differ in that they are in standard currency 
amounts with standard settlement dates and are transacted on  
an exchange.

Credit Derivatives
The Bank uses credit derivatives such as credit default swaps (CDS)  
and total return swaps in managing risks of the Bank’s corporate loan 
portfolio and other cash instruments. Credit risk is the risk of loss  
if a borrower or counterparty in a transaction fails to meet its agreed 
payment obligations. The Bank uses credit derivatives to mitigate 
industry concentration and borrower-specific exposure as part of the 
Bank’s portfolio risk management techniques. The credit, legal, and 
other risks associated with these transactions are controlled through 
well established procedures. The Bank’s policy is to enter into these 
transactions with investment grade financial institutions. Credit risk to 
these counterparties is managed through the same approval, limit and 
monitoring processes that is used for all counterparties to which the 
Bank has credit exposure. 

Credit derivatives are OTC contracts designed to transfer the credit 
risk in an underlying financial instrument (usually termed as a reference 
asset) from one counterparty to another. The most common credit 
derivatives are CDS (referred to as option contracts) and total return 
swaps (referred to as swap contracts). In option contracts, an option 
purchaser acquires credit protection on a reference asset or group of 
assets from an option writer in exchange for a premium. The option 
purchaser may pay the agreed premium at inception or over a period 
of time. The credit protection compensates the option purchaser for 
any deterioration in value of the reference asset or group of assets 
upon the occurrence of certain credit events such as bankruptcy or 
failure to pay. Settlement may be cash based or physical, requiring the 
delivery of the reference asset to the option writer. In swap contracts, 
one counterparty agrees to pay or receive from the other cash 
amounts based on changes in the value of a reference asset or group 
of assets, including any returns such as interest earned on these assets 
in exchange for amounts that are based on prevailing market funding 
rates. These cash settlements are made regardless of whether there  
is a credit event.

Other Derivatives
The Bank also transacts in equity and commodity derivatives in both 
the exchange and OTC markets.

Equity swaps are OTC contracts in which one counterparty agrees  
to pay, or receive from the other, cash amounts based on changes in 
the value of a stock index, a basket of stocks or a single stock. These 
contracts sometimes include a payment in respect of dividends. 

Equity options give the purchaser of the option, for a premium,  
the right, but not the obligation, to buy from or sell to the writer  
of an option, an underlying stock index, basket of stocks or single 
stock at a contracted price. Options are transacted both OTC and 
through exchanges.

152

TD BANK GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2013 FINANCIAL RESULTSEquity index futures are standardized contracts transacted on an 
exchange. They are based on an agreement to pay or receive a cash 
amount based on the difference between the contracted price level  
of an underlying stock index and its corresponding market price level 
at a specified future date. There is no actual delivery of stocks that 
comprise the underlying index. These contracts are in standard 
amounts with standard settlement dates. 

Commodity contracts include commodity forwards, futures, swaps 
and options, such as precious metals and energy-related products in 
both OTC and exchange markets. 

NOTIONAL AMOUNTS
The notional amounts are not recorded as assets or liabilities as  
they represent the face amount of the contract to which a rate or  
price is applied to determine the amount of cash flows to be 
exchanged. Notional amounts do not represent the potential gain  
or loss associated with market risk and are not indicative of the  
credit risk associated with derivative financial instruments.

Income related to interest cash flows is recognized using the effective 
interest rate method over the life of the underlying instrument. Foreign 
currency translation gains and losses related to future cash flows on 
hedged items are recognized as incurred.

During the years ended October 31, 2013 and October 31, 2012, 
there were no significant instances where forecasted hedged transac-
tions failed to occur.

The following table presents gains (losses) on non-trading derivatives 
that have not been designated in qualifying hedge accounting relation-
ships for the years ended October 31, 2013, October 31, 2012 and 
October 31, 2011. These gains (losses) are partially offset by gains 
(losses) recorded on the Consolidated Statement of Income and on the 
Consolidated Statement of Other Comprehensive Income on related 
non-derivative instruments.

1  Collateral held under a Credit Support Annex (CSA) to help reduce counterparty 
credit risk is in the form of high quality and liquid assets such as cash and high 
quality government securities. Acceptable collateral is governed by the Collateralized 
Trading Policy.

2  Derivatives executed through a central clearing house reduces settlement risk  

due to the ability to net settle offsetting positions. The Bank also receives  
preferential capital treatment relative to those settled with non-central clearing 
house counterparties.

DERIVATIVE-RELATED RISKS
Market Risk
Derivatives, in the absence of any compensating upfront cash 
payments, generally have no market value at inception. They obtain 
value, positive or negative, as relevant interest rates, foreign exchange 
rates, equity, commodity or credit prices or indices change, such that 
the previously contracted terms of the derivative transactions have 
become more or less favourable than what can be negotiated under 
current market conditions for contracts with the same terms and the 
same remaining period to expiry. 

The potential for derivatives to increase or decrease in value as a 
result of the foregoing factors is generally referred to as market risk. 
This market risk is managed by senior officers responsible for the 
Bank’s trading business and is monitored independently by the Bank’s 
Risk Management.

Credit Risk
Credit risk on derivatives, also known as counterparty credit risk, is  
the risk of a financial loss occurring as a result of the failure of a  
counterparty to meet its obligation to the Bank. The Treasury Credit 
area within Wholesale Banking is responsible for implementing and 
ensuring compliance with credit policies established by the Bank for 
the management of derivative credit exposures. 

Derivative-related credit risks are subject to the same credit 

approval, limit and monitoring standards that are used for managing 
other transactions that create credit exposure. This includes evaluating 
the creditworthiness of counterparties, and managing the size, diversi-
fication and maturity structure of the portfolios. The Bank actively 
engages in risk mitigation strategies through the use of multi-product 
derivative master netting agreements, collateral and other risk mitiga-
tion techniques. Master netting agreements reduce risk to the Bank by 
allowing the Bank to close out and net transactions with counterpar-
ties subject to such agreements upon the occurrence of certain events. 
The effect of these master netting agreements is shown in the table 
below entitled ‘Credit Exposure of Derivatives’. 

Also shown in the table entitled ‘Credit Exposure of Derivatives’, is 

the current replacement cost, which is the positive fair value of all 
outstanding derivatives, and represents the Bank’s maximum derivative 
credit exposure. The credit equivalent amount is the sum of the current 
replacement cost and the potential future exposure, which is calcu-
lated by applying factors supplied by OSFI to the notional principal 
amount of the derivatives. The risk-weighted amount is determined by 
applying standard measures of counterparty credit risk to the credit 
equivalent amount.

1  Prior to 2013, exchange-traded instruments and non-trading credit derivatives, 

which are given financial guarantee treatment for credit risk capital purposes, were 
excluded in accordance with OSFI’s guidelines. The total positive fair value of the 
excluded contracts as at October 31, 2012 was $444 million.

2  Effective the first quarter of 2013, risk-weighted assets (RWA) for OSFI “deemed” 
QCCP derivative exposures are calculated in accordance with the Basel III regulatory 
framework, which takes into account both trade exposures and default fund expo-
sures related to derivatives, and are presented based on the “all-in” methodology. 
The amounts calculated are net of master netting agreements and collateral.

1 Based on geographic location of unit responsible for recording revenue.
2 After impact of master netting agreements and collateral.

Certain of the Bank’s derivative contracts are governed by master 
derivative agreements having provisions that may permit the Bank’s 
counterparties to require, upon the occurrence of a certain contingent 
event: (i) the posting of collateral or other acceptable remedy such as 
assignment of the affected contracts to an acceptable counterparty; or 
(ii) settlement of outstanding derivative contracts. Most often, these 
contingent events are in the form of a downgrade of the senior debt 
ratings of the Bank, either as counterparty or as guarantor of one of 

the Bank’s subsidiaries. At October 31, 2013, the aggregate net liability 
position of those contracts would require: (i) the posting of collateral 
or other acceptable remedy totalling $51 million (October 31, 2012 – 
$45 million) in the event of a one-notch or two-notch downgrade in 
the Bank’s senior debt ratings; and (ii) funding totalling $4 million 
(October 31, 2012 – $6 million) following the termination and settle-
ment of outstanding derivative contracts in the event of a one-notch 
or two notch downgrade in the Bank’s senior debt ratings.

Certain of the Bank’s derivative contracts are governed by master 
derivative agreements having credit support provisions that permit  
the Bank’s counterparties to call for collateral depending on the net 
mark-to-market exposure position of all derivative contracts governed 
by that master derivative agreement. Some of these agreements may 
permit the Bank’s counterparties to require, upon the downgrade of 
the senior debt ratings of the Bank, to post additional collateral. As  
at October 31, 2013 the fair value of all derivative instruments with 
credit risk related contingent features in a net liability position was 
$7.9 billion (October 31, 2012 – $14.3 billion). The Bank has posted 

$6.3 billion (October 31, 2012 – $11.8 billion) of collateral for this 
exposure in the normal course of business. As at October 31, 2013, 
the impact of a one-notch downgrade in the Bank’s senior debt ratings 
would require the Bank to post an additional $0.3 billion (October 31, 
2012 – $0.6 billion) of collateral to that posted in the normal course of 
business. A two-notch down grade in the Bank’s senior debt ratings 
would require the Bank to post an additional $0.3 billion (October 31, 
2012 – $1.4 billion) of collateral to that posted in the normal course  
of business.

INVESTMENT IN TD AMERITRADE HOLDING CORPORATION

The Bank has significant influence over TD Ameritrade and accounts 
for its investment in TD Ameritrade using the equity method. As at 
October 31, 2013, the Bank’s reported investment in TD Ameritrade 
was 42.22% (October 31, 2012 – 45.37%) of the outstanding shares 
of TD Ameritrade with a fair value of $6,606 million (October 31, 2012 
– $3,878 million) based on the closing price of US$27.26 (October 31, 
2012 – US$15.69) on the New York Stock Exchange. 

On May 14, 2013, the Bank completed a private sale of 15 million 
shares of its investment in TD Ameritrade. The shares were sold at a 
price of US$21.72, a 4.5% discount to the closing market price of 
US$22.74. The Bank realized a gain on the sale of these shares on  
the Consolidated Statement of Income. 

During the year ended October 31, 2013, TD Ameritrade did not 

repurchase any shares (year ended October 31, 2012 – 7.4 million 
shares). On August 6, 2010 and October 31, 2011, the Stockholders 
Agreement was amended such that if the Bank’s ownership increases 
above 45%: (i) the Bank has until January 24, 2014 to reduce its 
ownership in TD Ameritrade to 45%; (ii) the Bank is required to 

commence reduction of its ownership in TD Ameritrade and continue 
its reduction as long as it can be executed at a price per share equal  
to or greater than the Bank’s then-applicable average carrying value 
per share of TD Ameritrade; and (iii) in connection with stock repur-
chases by TD Ameritrade, the Bank’s ownership interest in TD Ameri-
trade will not exceed 48%.

Pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement in relation to the Bank’s 

equity investment in TD Ameritrade, the Bank designated five of 
12 members of TD Ameritrade’s Board of Directors including the 
Bank’s Group President and Chief Executive Officer, its Executive Vice 
President of Retail Banking, Products and Services, two independent 
directors of TD, and a former independent director of TD.

TD Ameritrade has no significant contingent liabilities to which the 
Bank is exposed. During the year ended October 31, 2013 and October 
31, 2012, TD Ameritrade did not experience any significant restrictions 
to transfer funds in the form of cash dividends, or repayment of loans 
or advances.

Acquisition of Epoch Investment Partners, Inc.
On March 27, 2013, the Bank acquired 100% of the outstanding 
equity of Epoch Holding Corporation including its wholly-owned 
subsidiary Epoch Investment Partners, Inc. (Epoch), a New York-based 
asset management firm. Epoch was acquired for cash consideration  
of $674 million. Epoch Holding Corporation shareholders received 
US$28 in cash per share.

The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination under 
the purchase method. The results of the acquisition from the acquisition 
date have been consolidated with the Bank’s results and are reported 
in the Wealth and Insurance segment. As at March 27, 2013, the 
acquisition contributed $34 million of tangible assets, and $9 million 
of liabilities. The excess of consideration over the fair value of the 
acquired net assets of $649 million has been allocated to customer 
relationship intangibles of $149 million and goodwill of $500million. 
Goodwill is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes. 

For the year ended October 31, 2013, the acquisition contributed 

$96 million to revenue and $2 million to net income. 

Acquisition of Target Corporation’s U.S. Credit Card Portfolio
On March 13, 2013, the Bank, through its subsidiary, TD Bank USA 
N.A., acquired substantially all of Target Corporation’s existing U.S. 
Visa and private label credit card portfolio, with a gross outstanding 
balance of $5.8 billion. TD Bank USA N.A. also entered into a seven-
year program agreement under which it became the exclusive issuer  
of Target-branded Visa and private label consumer credit cards to 
Target Corporation’s U.S. customers. 

Under the terms of the program agreement, the Bank and Target 
Corporation share in the profits generated by the portfolios. Target 
Corporation is responsible for all elements of operations and customer 
service, and bears most of the operating costs to service the assets. The 
Bank controls risk management policies and regulatory compliance and 
bears all costs relating to funding the receivables for existing Target 
Visa accounts and all existing and newly issued Target private label 
accounts in the U.S. The Bank accounted for the purchase as an asset 
acquisition. The results of the acquisition from the acquisition date have 
been recorded in the U.S. Personal and Commercial Banking segment. 
At the date of acquisition the Bank recorded the credit card receiv-
ables acquired at their fair value of $5.7 billion and intangible assets 
totalling $98 million. The gross amount of revenue and credit losses 
have been recorded on the Consolidated Statement of Income since 
that date. Target Corporation shares in a fixed percentage of the reve-
nue and credit losses incurred. Target Corporation’s share of revenue 
and credit losses is recorded in Non-interest expenses on the Consoli-
dated Statement of Income and related receivables from, or payables 
to Target Corporation are recorded in Other assets or Other liabilities, 
respectively, on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. 

Acquisition of Credit Card Portfolio of MBNA Canada 
On December 1, 2011, the Bank acquired substantially all of the credit 
card portfolio of MBNA Canada, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bank of 
America Corporation, as well as certain other assets and liabilities for 
cash consideration of $6,839 million.

The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination under 

the purchase method. The results of the acquisition from the acquisi-
tion date have been consolidated with the Bank’s results and are 
primarily reported in the Canadian Personal and Commercial Banking 
and Wealth and Insurance segments. 

The total amount of goodwill that is expected to be deductible for 
tax purposes is nil. Subsequent to acquisition date, goodwill decreased 
by $27 million to $93 million due to the refinement of various fair 
value marks during the measurement period. 

For the year ended October 31, 2012, the acquisition contributed 

$811 million to revenue and $(15) million to net income.

The following table presents the estimated fair values of the assets  
and liabilities acquired as of the date of acquisition.

and future expected credit losses and the estimated fair value of acquired credit-
impaired loans reflects incurred credit losses at the acquisition date. 

2 Gross contractual receivables amount to $7,820 million.

Acquisition of Chrysler Financial
On April 1, 2011, the Bank acquired 100% of the outstanding equity 
of Chrysler Financial in Canada and the U.S. for cash consideration  
of approximately $6,307 million, including contingent consideration. 
The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination under  
the purchase method. As part of the purchase agreement, the Bank  
is required to pay additional cash consideration in the event that 
amounts realized on certain assets exceed a pre-established threshold. 
Contingent consideration is recognized immediately in the purchase 
price equation at fair value and marked to market as amounts on  
the assets are realized in the Consolidated Statement of Income.

Contingent consideration of $52 million was recognized as of the 
acquisition date. Subsequent to the acquisition, the amounts realized 
on these assets exceeded the threshold and the Bank was required to 
pay additional cash consideration of $53 million, which was included 
in the Consolidated Statement of Income. The results of Chrysler 
Financial from the acquisition date have been consolidated with the 
Bank’s results. The results of Chrysler Financial in the U.S. are reported 
in the U.S. Personal and Commercial Banking segment. The results of 
Chrysler Financial in Canada are reported in the Canadian Personal and 
Commercial Banking segment. 

Subsequent to the acquisition date, goodwill increased by $45 million 
to $197 million, primarily due to the finalization of the fair values in the 
purchase price equation. The total amount of goodwill that is expected 
to be deductible for tax purposes is $275 million. 

For the year ended October 31, 2011, the acquisition contributed 

$273 million to revenue and $13 million to net income.

GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLES

The fair value of the Bank’s CGUs is determined from internally devel-
oped valuation models that consider various factors and assumptions 
such as forecasted earnings, growth rates, price earnings multiples, 
discount rates and terminal multiples. Management is required to use 
judgment in estimating the fair value of CGUs and the use of different 
assumptions and estimates in the fair value calculations could influence 
the determination of the existence of impairment and the valuation of 
goodwill. Management believes that the assumptions and estimates 
used are reasonable and supportable. Where possible, fair values 
generated internally are compared to relevant market information. The 
carrying amounts of the Bank’s CGUs are determined by management 
using risk based capital models to adjust net assets and liabilities by 
CGU. These models consider various factors including market risk, 
credit risk and operational risk, including investment capital (comprised 
of goodwill and other intangibles). Any unallocated capital not directly 
attributable to the CGUs is held within the Corporate segment. As at 
the date of the last impairment test, the amount of unallocated capital 
was $8.3 billion and primarily related to available-for-sale securities 
and interest rate swaps managed within the Corporate segment. The 
Bank’s capital oversight committees provide oversight to the Bank’s 
capital allocation methodologies.

Key Assumptions
The recoverable amount of each group of CGUs has been determined 
based on its value-in-use. In assessing value-in-use, the estimated 
future cash flows based on the Bank’s internal forecast are discounted 
using an appropriate pre-tax discount rate.

The following were the key assumptions applied in the goodwill 
impairment testing:

Discount Rate
The pre-tax discount rates used reflect current market assessment of 
the risks specific to each group of CGUs and are dependent on the risk 
profile and capital requirements of each group of CGUs.

Terminal Multiple
The earnings included in the goodwill impairment testing for each 
operating segment were based on the Bank’s internal forecast, which 
projects expected cash flows over the next five years. The pre-tax 
terminal multiple for the period after the Bank’s internal forecast was 
derived from the observable terminal multiples of comparable financial 
institutions and ranged from 9 times to 14 times. 

In considering the sensitivity of the key assumptions discussed above, 

management determined that there is no reasonable possible change 
in any of the above that would result in the recoverable amount of any 
of the groups of CGUs to be less than its carrying amount.

SUBORDINATED NOTES AND DEBENTURES 

Subordinated notes and debentures are direct unsecured obligations of 
the Bank or its subsidiaries and are subordinated in right of payment 
to the claims of depositors and certain other creditors. Redemptions, 
cancellations, exchanges and modifications of subordinated deben-
tures qualifying as regulatory capital are subject to the consent and 
approval of OSFI.

Under Basel III and OSFI’s revised Capital Adequacy Requirements 

(CAR) Guideline, instruments that do not meet the Basel III require-
ments are considered non-qualifying as regulatory capital and are 
subject to a 10-year phase-out period commencing January 1, 2013. 
All of the Bank’s current subordinated debentures are non-qualifying 
capital instruments and are subject to the phase-out period.

NORMAL COURSE ISSUER BID
On June 19, 2013, the Bank announced that the Toronto Stock 
Exchange (TSX) and OSFI approved the Bank’s normal course issuer  
bid to repurchase for cancellation up to 12 million common shares. 
Purchases under the bid commenced on June 21, 2013 and will end on 
June 20, 2014, such earlier date as the Bank may determine or such 
earlier date as the Bank may complete its purchases pursuant to the 
notice of intention filed with the TSX. As of October 31, 2013, the 
Bank repurchased 9.0 million common shares under this bid at an aver-
age price of $86.50 for a total amount of $780.2 million. The Bank did 
not have a normal course issuer bid outstanding during fiscal 2012.

DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT PLAN
The Bank offers a dividend reinvestment plan for its common share-
holders. Participation in the plan is optional and under the terms of the 
plan, cash dividends on common shares are used to purchase addi-
tional common shares. At the option of the Bank, the common shares 
may be issued from the Bank’s treasury at an average market price 

DIVIDEND RESTRICTIONS
The Bank is prohibited by the Bank Act from declaring dividends on  
its preferred or common shares if there are reasonable grounds for 
believing that the Bank is, or the payment would cause the Bank to  
be, in contravention of the capital adequacy and liquidity regulations 
of the Bank Act or directions of OSFI. The Bank does not anticipate 
that this condition will restrict it from paying dividends in the normal 
course of business.

The Bank is also restricted from paying dividends in the event that 
either Trust III or Trust IV fails to pay semi-annual distributions or inter-
est in full to holders of their respective trust securities, TD CaTS III and 
TD CaTS IV Notes. In addition, the ability to pay dividends on common 
shares without the approval of the holders of the outstanding preferred 
shares is restricted unless all dividends on the preferred shares have 
been declared and paid or set apart for payment. Currently, these  
limitations do not restrict the payment of dividends on common shares 
or preferred shares.

TRADING-RELATED INCOME

Trading assets and liabilities, including trading derivatives, certain secu-
rities and loans held within a trading portfolio that are designated at 
fair value through profit or loss, trading loans and trading deposits, are 
measured at fair value, with gains and losses recognized on the 
Consolidated Statement of Income. 

Trading-related income comprises Net interest income, Trading 
income (losses), and income from financial instruments designated at 
fair value through profit or loss that are managed within a trading 
portfolio, all recorded on the Consolidated Statement of Income. Net 
interest income arises from interest and dividends related to trading 
assets and liabilities, and is reported net of interest expense and 

income associated with funding these assets and liabilities in the table 
below. Trading income (loss) includes realized and unrealized gains 
and losses on trading assets and liabilities. Realized and unrealized 
gains and losses on financial instruments designated at fair value 
through profit or loss are included in Non-interest income on the 
Consolidated Statement of Income.

INSURANCE RISK 
Insurance risk is the risk of financial loss due to actual experience 
emerging differently from expectations in insurance product pricing  
or reserving. Unfavourable experience could emerge due to adverse 
fluctuations in timing, actual size and/or frequency of claims (for  
example, catastrophic risk), mortality, morbidity, longevity, policy-
holder behaviour, or associated expenses.

Insurance contracts provide financial protection by transferring 
insured risks to the issuer in exchange for premiums. The Bank is 
exposed to insurance risk through its property and casualty insurance 
business, life and health insurance business and reinsurance business.

Senior management within the insurance business units has primary 

responsibility for managing insurance risk with oversight by the Chief 
Risk Officer for Insurance who reports into Risk Management. The 
Audit Committee of the Board acts as the Audit and Conduct Review 
Committee for the Canadian Insurance company subsidiaries. The 
Insurance company subsidiaries also have their own Boards of Directors, 
as well as independent external appointed actuaries who provide addi-
tional risk management oversight.

The Bank’s risk governance practices ensure strong independent 
oversight and control of risk within the Insurance business. The Risk 
Committee for the Insurance business provides critical oversight of the 
risk management activities within the business. The Insurance Risk 
Management Framework outlines the internal risk and control structure 
to manage insurance risk and includes risk appetite, policies, processes 
as well as limits and governance. The Insurance Risk Management 
Framework is maintained by Risk Management and supports alignment 
with the Bank’s risk appetite for insurance risk. 

The assessment of reserves for claims liabilities is central to the 
insurance operation. The Bank engages in establishing reserves to 
cover estimated future payments (including loss adjustment expenses) 

on all claims arising from insurance contracts underwritten. The 
reserves cannot be established with complete certainty, and represent 
management’s best estimate for future claim payments. As such, the 
Bank regularly monitors liability estimates against claims experience 
and adjusts reserves as appropriate if experience emerges differently 
than anticipated. Claims liabilities are calculated in accordance with 
the Bank’s insurance accounting policy. See Note 2 to the Bank’s 
Consolidated Financial Statements for further details. 

Sound product design is an essential element of managing risk. The 

Bank’s exposure to insurance risk is generally short term in nature as 
the principal underwriting risk relates to automobile and home insur-
ance for individuals. 

Insurance market cycles as well as changes in automobile insurance 

legislation, the judicial environment, trends in court awards, climate 
patterns and the economic environment may impact the performance 
of the Insurance business. Consistent pricing policies and underwriting 
standards are maintained and compliance with such policies is moni-
tored by the Risk Committee for the Insurance business. 

Automobile insurance is provincially legislated and as such, policy-
holder benefits may differ between provinces. There is also exposure to 
geographic concentration risk associated with personal property cover-
age. Exposure to insurance risk concentrations is managed through 
established underwriting guidelines, limits, and authorization levels 
that govern the acceptance of risk. Concentration risk is also mitigated 
through the purchase of reinsurance. 

Strategies are in place to manage the risk to our reinsurance busi-
ness. Underwriting risk on business assumed is managed through a 
policy that limits exposure to certain types of business and countries. 
The vast majority of treaties are annually renewable, which minimizes 
long term risk. Pandemic exposure is reviewed and estimated annually.

OTHER RELATED RISKS
Credit risk is managed through a counterparty credit policy. To mini-
mize interest rate and liquidity risks, investments supporting the net 
provision for unpaid claims are matched in interest rate exposure.

INSURANCE REVENUE AND EXPENSES 
The Bank is engaged in insurance businesses relating to property and 
casualty insurance, life and health insurance, and reinsurance. Insur-
ance revenue is presented on the Consolidated Statement of Income 
under Insurance revenue and expenses are presented under Insurance 
claims and related expenses, including the impacts of claims and  
reinsurance on the Consolidated Statement of Income.

AND CASUALTY INSURANCE
For property and casualty insurance, the recognized liabilities are 
comprised of a provision for unpaid claims (see section (a) below) and 
unearned premiums (see section (b) below). The provision for unpaid 
claims is established to reflect the estimate of the full amount of all 

liabilities associated with the insurance premiums earned at the 
balance sheet date, including insurance claims incurred but not 
recorded. The ultimate amount of these liabilities will vary from the 
best estimate made for a variety of reasons, including additional infor-
mation with respect to the facts and circumstances of the insurance 
claims incurred. The unearned premiums represent the portion  
of net written premiums that pertain to the unexpired term of the  
policies in force.

(c) Other Movements in Insurance Liabilities:
Other movements in insurance liabilities consists of changes in life and 
health insurance policy benefit liabilities and other insurance payables 
that were caused primarily by the aging of in force business and 
changes in actuarial assumptions.

PROPERTY AND CASUALTY CLAIMS DEVELOPMENT
The following table shows the estimates of cumulative incurred claims 
for the five most recent accident years, with subsequent developments 
during the periods and together with cumulative payments to date. 
The original reserve estimates are evaluated monthly for redundancy or 
deficiency. The evaluation is based on actual payments in full or partial 
settlement of claims and current estimates of claims liabilities for 
claims still open or claims still unreported.

SENSITIVITY TO INSURANCE RISK 
A variety of assumptions are made related to future level of claims, 
policyholder behaviour, expenses and sales levels when products are 
designed and priced as well as the determination of actuarial liabilities. 
Such assumptions require a significant amount of professional judgment. 
The insurance claims provision is sensitive to certain assumptions. It 
has not been possible to quantify the sensitivity of certain assumptions 
such as legislative changes or uncertainty in the estimation process. 
Actual experience may differ from the assumptions made by the Bank.

For property and casualty insurance, the main assumption underlying 
the claims liability estimates is that the Bank’s future claims development 
will follow a similar pattern to past claims development experience.

Claims liabilities estimates are also based on various quantitative and 
qualitative factors, including discount rate, margin for adverse deviation, 
reinsurance, average claims costs including claims handling costs, aver-
age claims by accident year, and trends in claims severity and frequency 

and other factors such as inflation, expected or in force government 
pricing and coverage reforms and the level of insurance fraud. 

Qualitative and other unforeseen factors could negatively impact  
the Bank’s ability to accurately assess the risk of the insurance policies 
that the Bank underwrites. In addition, there may be significant lags 
between the occurrence of an insured event and the time it is actually 
reported to the Bank and additional lags between the time of reporting 
and final settlements of claims.

The following table outlines the sensitivity of the Bank’s claims 

liabilities. The analysis is performed for reasonably possible movements 
in the discount rate and in the margin for adverse deviation with all 
other assumptions held constant, showing the impact on the consoli-
dated net income before income taxes, and the impact on equity in the 
property and casualty insurance business. Movements in the assump-
tions may be non-linear.

A 5% increase in the frequency of claims as at October 31, 2013  
will decrease net income before tax and equity by $33 million and 
$24 million, respectively. A 5% decrease in the frequency of claims  
will increase income before tax and equity by the same amounts.  
A 5% increase in the severity of claims as at October 31, 2013 will 
decrease net income before tax and equity by $180 million and 
$133 million, respectively. A 5% decrease in the severity of claims  
will increase income before tax and equity by the same amounts.

For life and health Insurance, critical assumptions used in the measure-
ment of insurance contract liabilities are determined by the appointed 
actuary. The processes used to determine critical assumptions are  
as follows:

•   Mortality, morbidity and lapse assumptions are based on industry 

and historical company data. 

•   Expense assumptions are based on an annually updated expense 

study that is used to determine expected expenses for future years.

•   Asset reinvestment rates are based on projected earned rates,  
and liabilities are calculated using the Canadian Asset Liability 
Method (CALM).

A sensitivity analysis for possible movements in the life and health 
insurance business assumptions was performed and the impact is not 
significant to the Bank’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

CONCENTRATION OF INSURANCE RISK
Concentration risk is the risk resulting from large exposure to similar 
risks that are positively correlated.

Risk associated with automobile, residential and other products may 

vary in relation to the geographical area of the risk insured. Exposure 
to concentrations of insurance risk, in terms of type of risk is mitigated 
by ceding these risks through reinsurance contracts, as well as careful 
selection and implementation of underwriting strategies, which is in 
turn largely achieved through diversification by line of business and 
geographical areas. For automobile insurance, legislation is in place at 
a provincial level and this creates differences in the benefits provided 
among the provinces.

As at October 31, 2013, for the property and casualty insurance 
business, 71.9% of net written premiums were derived from automo-
bile policies (October 31, 2012 – 73.2%) followed by residential with 
27.8% (October 31, 2012 – 26.5%). The distribution by provinces 

show that business is mostly concentrated in Ontario with 61.6% of 
net written premiums (October 31, 2012 – 62.1%). The Western prov-
inces represented 26.6% (October 31, 2012 – 25.4%) followed by 
Quebec, 6.6% (October 31, 2012 – 7.5%) and the Atlantic provinces 
with 5.2% (October 31, 2012 – 5.0%).

Concentration risk is not a major concern for the life and health 

insurance business as it does not have a material level of regional 
specific characteristics like those exhibited in the property and casualty 
insurance business. Reinsurance is used to limit the liability on a single 
claim. While the maximum claim could be $3.0 million (October 31, 
2012 – $1.2 million), the majority of claims are less than $250 thou-
sand (October 31, 2012 – $250 thousand). Concentration risk is 
further limited by diversification across uncorrelated risks. This limits 
the impact of a regional pandemic and other concentration risks. To 
improve understanding of exposure to this risk, a pandemic scenario is 
tested annually.

SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

The Bank operates various share-based compensation plans. The Bank 
uses the fair value method of accounting for all stock option awards. 
Under the fair value method, the Bank recognizes compensation 
expense based on the fair value of the options, which is determined  
by using an option pricing model. The fair value of the options is 
recognized as compensation expense and contributed surplus over the 
service period required for employees to become fully entitled to  
the award. The contributed surplus balance is reduced as the options  
are exercised and the amount initially recorded for the options in 
contributed surplus is credited to capital stock.

STOCK OPTION PLAN
The Bank maintains a stock option program for certain key employees 
and non-employee directors. Non-employee directors have not been 
granted stock options since December 2001. Options on common 
shares are periodically granted to eligible employees of the Bank  
under the plan for terms of seven or ten years and vest over a four-
year period. These options provide holders with the right to purchase 
common shares of the Bank at a fixed price equal to the closing 
market price of the shares on the day prior to the date the options 
were issued. Under this plan, 14.1 million common shares have been 
reserved for future issuance (October 31, 2012 – 15.6 million). The 
outstanding options expire on various dates to December 13, 2022.  
A summary of the Bank’s stock option activity and related information 
for the years ended October 31 is as follows:

For fiscal 2013, the Bank recognized compensation expense for  
stock option awards of $24.8 million (2012 – $22.1 million; 2011 – 
$28.3 million). During 2013, 1.7 million (2012 – 1.9 million;  
2011 – 1.7 million) options were granted by the Bank at a weighted-
average fair value of $15.65 per option (2012 – $14.52 per option;

OTHER SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS 
The Bank operates restricted share unit and performance share unit 
plans which are offered to certain employees of the Bank. Under these 
plans, participants are awarded share units equivalent to the Bank’s 
common shares that generally vest over three years. A liability is 
accrued by the Bank related to such share units awarded and an incen-
tive compensation expense is recognized on the Consolidated State-
ment of Income over the service period required for employees to 
become fully entitled to the award. At the maturity date, the partici-
pant receives cash representing the value of the share units. The final 
number of performance share units will vary from 80% to 120% of the 
initial number awarded based on the Bank’s total shareholder return 
relative to the average of the North American peer group. Dividend 
equivalents accrue and will be re-invested in additional units that will 
be paid at maturity. The number of such share units outstanding under 
these plans as at October 31, 2013 was 14 million (2012 – 14 million). 
The Bank also offers deferred share unit plans to eligible employees 

and non-employee directors. Under these plans, a portion of the 
participant’s annual incentive award and/or maturing share units may 

N O T E   2 6

EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

be deferred as share units equivalent to the Bank’s common shares. 
The deferred share units are not redeemable by the participant until 
termination of employment or directorship. Once these conditions  
are met, the deferred share unit must be redeemed for cash no later 
than the end of the next calendar year. Dividend equivalents accrue  
to the participants in the form of additional units. As at October 31, 
2013, 3.6 million deferred share units were outstanding (October 31, 
2012 – 3.4 million).

Compensation expense for these plans is recorded in the year the 
incentive award is earned by the plan participant. Changes in the value 
of these plans are recorded, net of the effects of related hedges, on 
the Consolidated Statement of Income. For the year ended October 
31, 2013, the Bank recognized compensation expense, net of the 
effects of hedges, for these plans of $336 million (2012 – $326 
million; 2011 – $293 million). The compensation expense recognized 
before the effects of hedges was $621 million (2012 – $429 million; 
2011 – $353 million). The carrying amount of the liability relating to 
these plans, based on the closing share price, was $1.5 billion at  
October 31, 2013 (October 31, 2012 – $1.3 billion) and is reported in 
Other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

EMPLOYEE OWNERSHIP PLAN
The Bank also operates a share purchase plan available to employees. 
Employees can contribute any amount of their eligible earnings (net of 
source deductions) to the Employee Ownership Plan. The Bank 
matches 100% of the first $250 of employee contributions each year 
and the remainder of employee contributions at 50% to an overall 
maximum of 3.5% of the employee’s eligible earnings or $2,250, 
whichever comes first. The Bank’s contributions vest once an employee 
has completed two years of continuous service with the Bank. For the 
year ended October 31, 2013, the Bank’s contributions totalled 
$63 million (2012 – $61 million; 2011 – $59 million) and were 
expensed as salaries and employee benefits. As at October 31, 2013, 
an aggregate of 9.8 million common shares were held under the 
Employee Ownership Plan (October 31, 2012 – 9.5 million). The shares 
in the Employee Ownership Plan are purchased in the open market and 
are considered outstanding for computing the Bank’s basic and diluted 
earnings per share. Dividends earned on Bank common shares held by 
the Employee Ownership Plan are used to purchase additional common 
shares for the Employee Ownership Plan in the open market.

DEFINED BENEFIT PENSION AND OTHER POST-EMPLOYMENT 
BENEFIT (OPEB) PLANS
The Bank’s principal pension plans, consisting of The Pension Fund 
Society of The Toronto-Dominion Bank (the “Society”) and the  
TD Pension Plan (Canada) (the “TDPP”), are defined benefit plans. In  
addition, the Bank maintains other partially funded and non-funded 
pension plans for eligible employees. The Society was closed to new 
members on January 30, 2009 and the TDPP commenced on March 1, 
2009. Benefits under the principal pension plans are determined based 
upon the period of plan participation and the average salary of the 
member in the best consecutive five years in the last 10 years of 
combined plan membership. 

Funding for the Bank’s principal pension plans is provided by contri-

butions from the Bank and members of the plans as applicable. In 
accordance with legislation, the Bank contributes amounts determined 
on an actuarial basis to the plans and has the ultimate responsibility 
for ensuring that the liabilities of the plan are adequately funded over 
time. The Bank’s contributions to the principal pension plans during 
2013 were $340 million (2012 – $293 million). The 2013 contributions 
were made in accordance with the actuarial valuation reports for fund-
ing purposes as at October 31, 2012 and October 31, 2011 for the 
Society and TDPP, respectively. The 2012 contributions were made in 
accordance with the actuarial valuation reports for funding purposes 
as at October 31, 2011 for both of the principal pension plans. The 
next valuation date for funding purposes is as at October 31, 2013  
and October 31, 2014 for the Society and the TDPP, respectively.

The Bank also provides certain post-retirement benefits and post-

employment benefits (non-pension employee benefits), which are 
generally non-funded. Non-pension employee benefit plans, where 
offered, generally include health care and dental benefits. Employees 
must meet certain age and service requirements to be eligible for post-
retirement benefits and are generally required to pay a portion of the 
cost of the benefits. Employees eligible for post-employment benefits 
are those on disability and child-care leave.

For the principal pension plans and the principal non-pension post-
retirement benefit plan, actuarial valuations are prepared at least every 
three years to determine the present value of the accrued benefits. 
Pension and non-pension post-retirement benefit expenses are deter-
mined based upon separate actuarial valuations using the projected 
benefit method pro-rated on service and management’s best estimates 
of expected long-term return on plan assets, compensation increases, 
health care cost trend rate and discount rate, which are reviewed 
annually by the Bank’s actuaries. The discount rate used to value liabili-
ties is based on long-term corporate AA bond yields as of the measure-
ment date. The expense includes the cost of benefits for the current 
year’s service, interest expense on obligations, expected income on 
plan assets based on fair values and the amortization of benefit plan 
amendments, actuarial gains or losses and any curtailments. Plan 
amendments are amortized on a straight-line basis over the average 
vesting period of the benefits granted (4 years for the principal non-
pension post-retirement benefit plan). If the benefits granted vest 
immediately (Society and TDPP), the full plan amendment is recognized

immediately. The excess, if any, of the net actuarial gain or loss over 
10% of the greater of the projected benefit obligation and the fair 
value of plan assets is amortized over the expected average remaining 
service life of the active members (12 years for the Society, 11 years 
for the TDPP, and 14 years for the principal non-pension post-retire-
ment benefit plan). The cumulative difference between expense and 
contributions is reported in other assets or other liabilities. 

INVESTMENT STRATEGY AND ASSET ALLOCATION
The primary objective of the Society and the TDPP is to achieve an 
annualized real rate of return of 1.50% and 1.75%, respectively, over 
rolling 10-year periods. The investment policies for the principal 
pension plans are detailed below and exclude Pension Enhancement 
Account (PEA) assets which are invested at the member’s discretion  
in certain mutual funds. The investment policies and asset allocations as 
at October 31 by asset category for the principal pension plans (exclud-
ing PEA assets) are as follows:

The objective of the investment policy of the Society is a balanced 
portfolio. The acceptable range has changed since 2011 with the  
strategy to reduce the allocation to equity instruments under the 
investment policy over time. 

Debt instruments generally must meet or exceed a credit rating of 
BBB at the time of purchase and during the holding period. There are 
no limitations on the maximum amount allocated to each credit  
rating above BBB within the total debt portfolio. 

Within the debt portfolio, the bond mandate managed to the DEX 
Universe Bond Index, representing 10% to 29% of the total fund, may 
be invested in bonds with a credit rating below BBB-. Debt instruments 
that are rated BBB+ or lower, and debt instruments that are rated 
below BBB-, must not exceed 25% and 10% of this mandate, respec-
tively. Also, debt instruments of non-government entities and debt 
instruments of non-Canadian government entities must not exceed 
80% and 20% of this mandate, respectively. Debt instruments of a 
single non-government or non-Canadian government entity must not 
exceed 10% of this mandate. Asset-backed securities must have a 
minimum credit rating of AAA and must not exceed 25% of this 
mandate. The remainder of the debt portfolio is not permitted to 
invest in debt instruments of non-government entities.

The equity portfolio is broadly diversified primarily across medium  

to large capitalization quality companies and income trusts with no 
individual holding exceeding 10% of the equity portfolio or 10% of 
the outstanding securities of any one company at any time. Foreign 
equities and American Depository Receipts of similar high quality are 
also included to further diversify the portfolio. 

Alternative investments include hedge funds and private equities. 
Derivatives can be utilized provided they do not create financial 
leverage for the Society. The Society can invest in hedge funds, which 
normally will employ leverage when executing their investment strategy. 
Substantially all assets must have readily determinable fair values. 
The Society was in compliance with its investment policy throughout 
the year. As at October 31, 2013, the Society’s net assets included 
private equity investments in the Bank and its affiliates which had a 
fair value of $1 million (2012 – $1 million). The objective of the invest-
ment policy of the TDPP is a balanced portfolio. 

The TDPP is not permitted to invest in debt instruments of non-
government entities. Debt instruments generally must meet or exceed 
a credit rating of BBB at the time of purchase and during the holding 
period. There are no limitations on the maximum amount allocated to 
each credit rating above BBB within the total debt portfolio. 

The equity portfolio is broadly diversified primarily across medium

individual holding exceeding 10% of the equity portfolio or 10% of 
the outstanding securities of any one company at any time. Foreign 
equities and American Depository Receipts of similar high quality are 
also included to further diversify the portfolio.

RISK MANAGEMENT PRACTICES
The principal pension plans’ investments include financial instruments 
which are exposed to various risks. These risks include market risk 
(including foreign currency risk, interest rate risk, and price risk), credit 
risk, and liquidity risk. The principal pension plans manage these finan-
cial risks in accordance with the Pension Benefits Standards Act, 1985, 
applicable regulations, and the principal pension plans’ Statement of 
Investment Policies and Procedures. The following are some specific 
risk management practices employed by the principal pension plans:
•  Monitoring credit exposure of counterparties
•  Monitoring adherence to asset allocation guidelines
•  Monitoring asset class performance against benchmarks

OTHER PENSION AND RETIREMENT PLANS
CT Pension Plan
As a result of the acquisition of CT Financial Services Inc. (CT), the 
Bank sponsors a pension plan consisting of a defined benefit portion 
and a defined contribution portion. The defined benefit portion was 
closed to new members after May 31, 1987, and newly eligible 
employees joined the defined contribution portion of the plan. Effective 
August 18, 2002, the defined contribution portion of the plan was 
closed to new contributions from the Bank or active employees, except 
for employees on salary continuance and long-term disability, and 
employees eligible for that plan became eligible to join the Society or 
the TDPP for future service. Funding for the defined benefit portion is 
provided by contributions from the Bank and members of the plan.
The Bank received regulatory approval to wind-up the defined 
contribution portion of the plan effective April 1, 2011. After that 
date, the Bank’s contributions to the defined contribution portion of 
the plan ceased. The wind-up was completed on May 31, 2012.

TD Bank, N.A. Retirement Plans
TD Bank, N.A. and its subsidiaries maintain a defined contribution 
401(k) plan covering all employees. Effective January 1, 2009 the plan 
was amended to include annual core contributions from TD Bank, N.A. 
for all employees and a transition contribution for certain employees. 
The core and transition contributions to the plan for fiscal 2013 were 
$42 million (2012 – $41 million; 2011 – $34 million). In addition, on 
an ongoing basis, TD Bank, N.A., makes matching contributions to the 
401(k) plan. The amount of the matching contribution for fiscal 2013 
was $39 million (2012 – $37 million; 2011 – $29 million). Annual 
expense is equal to the Bank’s contributions to the plan. 

In addition, TD Bank, N.A. has a closed non-contributory defined 
benefit retirement plan covering certain legacy TD Banknorth employees.

Supplemental retirement plans covering certain key officers and limited 
post-retirement benefit programs provide medical coverage and life 
insurance benefits to a closed group of employees and directors who 
meet minimum age and service requirements. Effective December 31, 
2008, benefits under the retirement and supplemental retirement 
plans were frozen. 

employee’s average salary during the consecutive five years in which the 
employee’s salary was highest in the 15 years preceding retirement. 
These defined benefit retirement plans were frozen as of April 1, 2012. 
In addition, TD Auto Finance provides limited post-retirement benefit 
programs, including medical coverage and life insurance benefits to 
certain employees who meet minimum age and service requirements.

TD Auto Finance (legacy Chrysler Financial) Retirement Plans
TD Auto Finance has both contributory and non-contributory defined 
benefit retirement plans covering certain permanent employees. The 
non-contributory pension plan provides benefits based on a fixed rate 
for each year of service. The contributory plan provides benefits to sala-
ried employees based on the employee’s cumulative contributions, years 
of service during which employee contributions were made, and the 

Supplemental Employee Retirement Plans
Supplemental employee retirement plans are partially funded by the 
Bank for eligible employees.

The following table presents the financial position of the Bank’s princi-
pal pension plans, the principal non-pension post-retirement benefit 
plan, and the Bank’s significant other pension and retirement plans.

1  The rate of increase for health care costs for the next year used to measure the 
expected cost of benefits covered for the principal non-pension post-retirement 
benefit plan is 5.90%. The rate is assumed to decrease gradually to 3.70% by the 
year 2028 and remain at that level thereafter.

2  Includes CT defined benefit pension plan, TD Banknorth defined benefit pension 

earned after that date. Certain TD Auto Finance defined benefit pension plans 
were frozen as of April 1, 2012 and no service credits can be earned after 
March 31, 2012.

3 Certain TD Auto Finance retirement plans were curtailed during 2012.
4  The actual return on plan assets for the principal pension plans was $226 million 

plan, certain TD Auto Finance retirement plans, and supplemental employee retire-
ment plans. Other plans operated by the Bank and certain of its subsidiaries are  
not considered material for disclosure purposes. The TD Banknorth defined benefit 
pension plan was frozen as of December 31, 2008 and no service credits can be 

for the year ended October 31, 2013 (October 31, 2012 – $273 million; October 31, 
2011 – $163 million). The Bank selected the expected long-term rate of return on 
plan assets assumption of 5.50% net of fees and expenses (2012 – 5.75%; 2011 – 
6.50%) for the Society and 6.20% (2012 – 5.25%; 2011 – 4.00%) for the TDPP.

In fiscal 2014, the Bank expects to contribute $376 million to its principal 
pension plans, $18 million to its principal non-pension post-retirement 
benefit plan, and $32 million to its other pension and retirement plans. 
Future contribution amounts may change upon the Bank’s review of its 
contribution levels during the fiscal year.

Assumptions relating to future mortality to determine the defined 
benefit obligation and net benefit cost for the principal defined benefit 
pension plans are as follows:

plans to the discount rate, the expected long-term return on plan 
assets and the rates of compensation, as well as the sensitivity of the 

Bank’s principal non-pension post-retirement benefit plan to the health 
care cost initial trend rate assumption. For each sensitivity test, the 
impact of a reasonably possible change in a single factor is shown with 
other assumptions left unchanged.

LITIGATION
In the ordinary course of business, the Bank and its subsidiaries are 
involved in various legal and regulatory actions, including class actions 
and other litigation or disputes with third parties. Legal provisions are 
established when it becomes probable that the Bank will incur an 
expense and the amount can be reliably estimated. The Bank may incur 
losses in addition to the amounts recorded when the loss is greater 
than estimated by management, or for matters when an unfavourable 
outcome is reasonably possible. The Bank considers losses to be 
reasonably possible when they are neither probable nor remote. The 
Bank believes the estimate of the aggregate range of reasonably possi-
ble losses, in excess of provisions, for its legal proceedings where it is 
possible to make such an estimate, is from zero to approximately 
$336 million as at October 31, 2013. This estimated aggregate range 
of reasonably possible losses is based upon currently available informa-
tion for those proceedings in which the Bank is involved, taking into 
account the Bank’s best estimate of such losses for those cases which 
an estimate can be made. The Bank’s estimate involves significant 
judgment, given the varying stages of the proceedings and the existence 
of multiple defendants in many of such proceedings whose share of 
liability has yet to be determined. The matters underlying the estimated 
range will change from time to time, and actual losses may vary signifi-
cantly from the current estimate. For certain cases, the Bank does not 
believe that an estimate can currently be made as many of them are in 
preliminary stages and certain cases have no specific amount claimed. 
Consequently, these cases are not included in the range.

In management’s opinion, based on its current knowledge and after 

consultation with counsel, the Bank believes that the ultimate disposi-
tion of these actions, individually or in the aggregate, will not have a 
material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition or the 
consolidated cash flows of the Bank. However, there are a number of 
uncertainties involved in such proceedings, some of which are beyond 
the Bank’s control, including, for example, the risk that the requisite 
external approvals of a particular settlement may not be granted. As 
such, there is a possibility that the ultimate resolution of those legal or 
regulatory actions may be material to the Bank’s consolidated results 
of operations for any particular reporting period.

The following is a description of the Bank’s material legal or  
regulatory actions.

Rothstein Litigation
TD Bank, N.A. was named as a defendant in multiple lawsuits in state 
and federal court in Florida related to an alleged US$1.2 billion Ponzi 
scheme perpetrated by, among others, Scott Rothstein, a partner of 
the Fort Lauderdale, Florida based law firm, Rothstein, Rosenfeldt and 
Adler (“RRA”).

On July 11, 2013, the United States Bankruptcy Court for the South-

ern District of Florida confirmed a liquidation plan for the RRA bank-
ruptcy estate that includes a litigation bar order in favor of TD Bank, 
N.A. (the “Bar Order”). TD Bank, N.A. and/or the Bank are or may be 
the subject of other litigation or regulatory proceedings related to the 
Rothstein fraud, although further civil litigation may be enjoined by the 
Bar Order. The outcome of any such proceedings is difficult to predict 
and could result in judgments, settlements, injunctions or other results 
adverse to TD Bank, N.A. or the Bank. Two pending civil matters are 
specifically exempted from the Bar Order. 

First, TD Bank’s appeal of the verdict entered against it in the 
lawsuit captioned Coquina Investments v. TD Bank, N.A. et al. will 
continue. The jury in the Coquina lawsuit returned a verdict against  
TD Bank, N.A. on January 18, 2012 in the amount of US$67 million, 
comprised of US$32 million of compensatory damages and US$35million 
of punitive damages. On August 3, 2012, the trial court entered an 
order sanctioning TD Bank, N.A. and its former outside counsel, 
Greenberg Traurig, for alleged discovery misconduct. The sanctions 
order established certain facts relating to TD Bank, N.A.’s knowledge 

of the Rothstein fraud and the unreasonableness of TD Bank, N.A.’s 
monitoring and alert systems, and ordered TD Bank, N.A. and Greenberg 
Traurig to pay the costs incurred by the plaintiff in bringing the sanc-
tions motions. The judgment and sanctions order have been appealed 
to the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit.

Second, the Bar Order does not apply to a motion seeking sanctions 

against TD Bank, N.A. filed by the plaintiffs in the matter captioned 
Razorback Funding, LLC, et al. v. TD Bank, N.A., et al., which was 
dismissed pursuant to a settlement agreement entered into between 
the plaintiffs and TD Bank, N.A. in April 2012. TD Bank, N.A. has 
opposed the motion for sanctions and denies the purported basis for 
the motion.

Overdraft Litigation
TD Bank, N.A. was originally named as a defendant in six putative 
nationwide class actions challenging the manner in which it calculates 
and collects overdraft fees: Dwyer v. TD Bank, N.A (D. Mass.); Hughes 
v. TD Bank, N.A. (D. N.J.); Mascaro v. TD Bank, N.A. (D. D.C.); 
Mazzadra, et al. v. TD Bank, N.A. (S.D. Fla.); Kimenker v. TD Bank, N.A. 
(D. N.J.); and Mosser v. TD Bank, N.A. (D. Pa.). These actions were 
transferred to the United States District Court for the Southern District 
of Florida and have now been dismissed or settled. Settlement 
payments were made to class members in June 2013; the Court retains 
jurisdiction over recipients and distributions. 

On August 21 2013, TD Bank, N.A. was named as a defendant in 
King, et al. v. Carolina First Bank n/k/a TD Bank, N.A. (D.S.C.), a puta-
tive nationwide class action filed in federal court in South Carolina 
challenging overdraft practices at Carolina First Bank prior to its 
merger into TD Bank, N.A. in September 2010, as well as the overdraft 
practices at TD Bank, N.A. from August 16, 2010 to the present. On 
October 25, 2013, TD Bank, N.A. filed a motion to dismiss in part 
plaintiff’s complaint. This case is in its preliminary stages, and plaintiffs 
have not claimed a specific damages amount.

Glitnir Litigation 
In January 2013, The Toronto-Dominion Bank (the Bank) was named as 
a defendant in Glitnir HF v. The Toronto-Dominion Bank, an English 
High Court proceeding issued by Glitnir HF, a former Icelandic bank. 
The claim arises out of the Bank’s termination of derivatives transac-
tions following Glitnir’s bankruptcy during the Icelandic banking crisis 
in October 2008. In particular, the claim concerns the appropriateness 
of the foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates, and basis 
spreads used by the Bank in its close-out calculation in respect of  
Glitnir. The claim is scheduled to be heard in October 2014. 

RESTRUCTURING
The Bank undertook certain measures commencing in the fourth quarter 
of 2013, which are expected to continue through fiscal year 2014, to 
reduce costs in a sustainable manner and achieve greater operational 
efficiencies. To implement these measures, the Bank recorded a provi-
sion of $129 million for restructuring initiatives related primarily to 
retail branch and real estate optimization initiatives.

COMMITMENTS
Credit-related Arrangements
In the normal course of business, the Bank enters into various commit-
ments and contingent liability contracts. The primary purpose of these 
contracts is to make funds available for the financing needs of custom-
ers. The Bank’s policy for requiring collateral security with respect to 
these contracts and the types of collateral security held is generally the 
same as for loans made by the Bank.

Financial and performance standby letters of credit represent irrevo-
cable assurances that the Bank will make payments in the event that  
a customer cannot meet its obligations to third parties and they carry 
the same credit risk, recourse and collateral security requirements  
as loans extended to customers. See the Guarantees section below  
for further details.

182

TD BANK GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2013 FINANCIAL RESULTSDocumentary and commercial letters of credit are instruments issued 
on behalf of a customer authorizing a third party to draw drafts on the 
Bank up to a certain amount subject to specific terms and conditions. 
The Bank is at risk for any drafts drawn that are not ultimately settled 
by the customer, and the amounts are collateralized by the assets to 
which they relate.

Commitments to extend credit represent unutilized portions of 
authorizations to extend credit in the form of loans and customers’ 
liability under acceptances. A discussion on the types of liquidity facilities 
the Bank provides to its securitization conduits is included in Note 9.

The values of credit instruments reported below represent the maxi-
mum amount of additional credit that the Bank could be obligated to 
extend should contracts be fully utilized.

which are unconditionally cancellable at the Bank’s discretion at any time.

In addition, the Bank is committed to fund $82 million (October 31, 
2012 – $249 million) of private equity investments.

Long-term Commitments or Leases
The Bank has obligations under long-term non-cancellable leases for 
premises and equipment. Future minimum operating lease commitments 
for premises and for equipment, where the annual rental is in excess 
of $100 thousand, is estimated at $768 million for 2014; $732 million 
for 2015; $683 million for 2016; $617 million for 2017, $538 million 
for 2018, and $2,918 million for 2019 and thereafter.

Future minimum finance lease commitments where the annual 

payment is in excess of $100 thousand, is estimated at $32 million for 
2014; $18 million for 2015; $12 million for 2016; $7 million for 2017; 
$6 million for 2018; and $28 million for 2019 and thereafter.

The premises and equipment net rental expense, included under 

Non-interest expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Income,  
was $971 million for the year ended October 31, 2013 (2012 – 
$914 million; 2011 – $877 million).

Pledged Assets and Collateral
In the ordinary course of business, securities and other assets are 
pledged against liabilities or contingent liabilities, including repurchase 
agreements, securitization liabilities, capital trust securities, and securi-
ties borrowing transactions. Assets are also deposited for the purposes 
of participation in clearing and payment systems and depositories or to 
have access to the facilities of central banks in foreign jurisdictions, or 
as security for contract settlements with derivative exchanges or other 
derivative counterparties. As at October 31, 2013, securities and other 
assets with a carrying value of $133.9 billion (October 31, 2012 – 
$144.1 billion) were pledged as collateral in respect of these transac-
tions. See Note 8, Transfer of Financial Assets, for further details. 
Certain consumer instalment and other personal loan assets with a 
carrying value of $11.6 billion (October 31, 2012 – $11.7 billion) were 
also pledged with respect to covered bonds issued by the Bank. 

Assets transferred by the Bank where the transferee has the right to 

sell or repledge are as follows:

In addition, the Bank may accept financial assets as collateral that  
the Bank is permitted to sell or repledge in the absence of default. 
These transactions are conducted under terms that are usual and 
customary to standard lending, and security borrowing and lending 
activities. As at October 31, 2013, the fair value of financial assets 
accepted as collateral that the Bank is permitted to sell or repledge  
in the absence of default was $19.8 billion (October 31, 2012 – 
$18.0 billion). The fair value of financial assets accepted as collateral 
that has been sold or repledged (excluding cash collateral) was 
$3.3 billion as at October 31, 2013 (October 31, 2012 – $4.1 billion).

Assets Sold with Recourse
In connection with its securitization activities, the Bank typically makes 
customary representations and warranties about the underlying assets 
which may result in an obligation to repurchase the assets. These 
representations and warranties attest that the Bank, as the seller, has 
executed the sale of assets in good faith, and in compliance with  
relevant laws and contractual requirements. In the event that they do 
not meet these criteria, the loans may be required to be repurchased 
by the Bank. 

GUARANTEES 
The following types of transactions represent the principal guarantees 
that the Bank has entered into.

Assets Sold with Contingent Repurchase Obligations
The Bank sells mortgage loans to the TD Mortgage Fund (the ‘Fund’),  
a mutual fund managed by the Bank. The mortgage loans are fully 
collateralized by residential properties. The Bank continues to service 
the mortgages. As part of its servicing responsibilities, the Bank has an 
obligation to repurchase mortgage loans when they default for an 
amount equal to their carrying amount. Losses on the repurchased 
defaulted mortgages are recovered through realization of the security 
on the loan and the government guarantee, where applicable. In addi-
tion, if the Fund experiences a liquidity event such that it does not 
have sufficient cash to honour unit-holder redemptions, it has the 
option to sell the mortgage loans back to the Bank at their fair value. 
Generally, the term of these agreements do not exceed five years.

Credit Enhancements
The Bank guarantees payments to counterparties in the event that 
third party credit enhancements supporting asset pools are insufficient.

Written Options
Written options are agreements under which the Bank grants the 
buyer the future right, but not the obligation, to sell or buy at or by  
a specified date, a specific amount of a financial instrument at a  
price agreed when the option is arranged and which can be physically 
or cash settled.

Written options can be used by the counterparty to hedge foreign 
exchange, equity, credit, commodity and interest rate risks. The Bank 
does not track, for accounting purposes, whether its clients enter into 
these derivative contracts for trading or hedging purposes and has not 
determined if the guaranteed party has the asset or liability related to 
the underlying. Accordingly, the Bank cannot ascertain which contracts 
are guarantees under the definition contained in the accounting guide-
line for disclosure of guarantees. The Bank employs a risk framework 
to define risk tolerances and establishes limits designed to ensure that 
losses do not exceed acceptable, pre-defined limits. Due to the nature 
of these contracts, the Bank cannot make a reasonable estimate of the 
potential maximum amount payable to the counterparties. The total 
notional principal amount of the written options as at October 31, 
2013 was $82 billion (October 31, 2012 – $94 billion).

Indemnification Agreements
In the normal course of operations, the Bank provides indemnification 
agreements to various counterparties in transactions such as service 
agreements, leasing transactions, and agreements relating to acquisi-
tions and dispositions. Under these agreements, the Bank is required 
to compensate counterparties for costs incurred as a result of various 
contingencies such as changes in laws and regulations and litigation 
claims. The nature of certain indemnification agreements prevents the 
Bank from making a reasonable estimate of the maximum potential 
amount that the Bank would be required to pay such counterparties.
The Bank also indemnifies directors, officers and other persons, to 
the extent permitted by law, against certain claims that may be made 
against them as a result of their services to the Bank or, at the Bank’s 
request, to another entity. 

The table below summarizes as at October 31, the maximum potential 
amount of future payments that could be made under guarantees 
without consideration of possible recoveries under recourse provisions 
or from collateral held or pledged.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Parties are considered to be related if one party has the ability to 
directly or indirectly control the other party or exercise significant  
influence over the other party in making financial or operational  
decisions. The Bank’s related parties include key management person-
nel, their close family members and their related entities, subsidiaries, 
associates, joint ventures, and post-employment benefit plans for  
the Bank’s employees.

TRANSACTIONS WITH KEY MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL, THEIR 
CLOSE FAMILY MEMBERS AND THEIR RELATED ENTITIES
Key management personnel are those persons having authority and 
responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities  
of the Bank, directly or indirectly. The Bank considers certain of its  
officers and directors and their affiliates to be key management 
personnel. The Bank makes loans to its key management personnel, 
their close family members and their related entities on market terms 
and conditions with the exception of banking products and services  
for key management personnel, which are subject to approved policy 
guidelines that govern all employees.

In addition, the Bank offers deferred share and other plans to non-
employee directors, executives and certain other key employees.  
See Note 25 for more details.

In the ordinary course of business, the Bank also provides various 
banking services to associated and other related corporations on terms 
similar to those offered to non-related parties.

TRANSACTIONS WITH SUBSIDIARIES, TD AMERITRADE  
AND SYMCOR INC.
Transactions between the Bank and its subsidiaries meet the definition 
of related party transactions. If these transactions are eliminated on 
consolidation, they are not disclosed as related party transactions. 
Transactions between the Bank, TD Ameritrade and Symcor also 
qualify as related party transactions. Other than as described below, 
during fiscal 2013, there were no significant transactions between the 
Bank, TD Ameritrade and Symcor.

Other Transactions with TD Ameritrade and Symcor Inc.
i) TD AMERITRADE HOLDING CORPORATION
A description of significant transactions of the Bank and its affiliates 
with TD Ameritrade is set forth below.

Insured Deposit Account (formerly known as Money Market  
Deposit Account) Agreement
The Bank is party to an insured deposit account (IDA) agreement with 
TD Ameritrade, pursuant to which the Bank makes available to clients 
of TD Ameritrade, IDAs as designated sweep vehicles. TD Ameritrade 
provides marketing and support services with respect to the IDA.  
The Bank paid fees of $821 million in 2013 (2012 – $834 million; 2011 
– $762 million) to TD Ameritrade for the deposit accounts. The fee 
paid by the Bank is based on the average insured deposit balance of 
$70.4 billion in 2013 (2012 – $60.3 billion; 2011 – $49.3 billion)  
with a portion of the fee tied to the actual yield earned by the Bank  
on the investments, less the actual interest paid to clients of TD Ameri-
trade, with the balance based on an agreed rate of return. The Bank 
earns a servicing fee of 25 basis points on the aggregate average  
daily balance in the sweep accounts (subject to adjustment based on  
a specified formula).  

As at October 31, 2013, amounts receivable from TD Ameritrade 
were $54 million (October 31, 2012 – $129 million). As at October 31, 
2013, amounts payable to TD Ameritrade were $103 million (October 31, 
2012 – $87 million).

ii) TRANSACTIONS WITH SYMCOR INC.
The Bank has one-third ownership in Symcor Inc. (Symcor), a Canadian 
provider of business process outsourcing services offering a diverse 
portfolio of integrated solutions in item processing, statement processing 
and production, and cash management services. The Bank accounts  
for Symcor’s results using the equity method of accounting. During 
fiscal 2013, the Bank paid $128 million (2012 – $128 million; 2011 – 
$139 million) for these services. As at October 31, 2013, the amount 
payable to Symcor was $10 million (October 31, 2012 – $10 million). 
The Bank and two other shareholder banks have also provided a 
$100 million unsecured loan facility to Symcor which was undrawn  
as at October 31, 2013 and October 31, 2012.

SEGMENTED INFORMATION

For management reporting purposes, the Bank’s operations and activi-
ties are organized around four key business segments: Canadian 
Personal and Commercial Banking (CAD P&C), Wealth and Insurance, 
U.S. Personal and Commercial Banking (U.S. P&C), and Wholesale 
Banking. The Bank’s other activities are grouped into the Corporate 
segment. The results of TD Auto Finance Canada are reported in CAD 
P&C. The results of TD Auto Finance U.S. are reported in U.S. P&C. 
Integration charges, direct transaction costs, and changes in fair value 
of contingent consideration relating to the Chrysler Financial acquisi-
tion are reported in the Corporate segment. 

Effective December 1, 2011, the results of the credit card portfolio 
of MBNA Canada are reported primarily in the CAD P&C and Wealth 
and Insurance segments. Integration charges and direct transaction 
costs relating to the acquisition of the credit card portfolio of MBNA 
Canada are reported in the CAD P&C segment. Effective March 13, 
2013, the results of the U.S. credit card portfolio of Target are 
reported in the U.S. P&C segment and effective March 27, 2013, the 
results of Epoch are reported in the Wealth and Insurance segment.

Executive responsibilities for the TD Insurance business were moved 
from Group Head, Canadian Banking, Auto Finance, and Credit Cards, 
to the Group Head, Wealth and Insurance and Corporate Shared 
Services. Accordingly, effective November 1, 2011, the results of the  
TD Insurance business were transferred from CAD P&C to Wealth  
and Insurance. The prior period results have been restated retroactively 
to 2011.

Effective July 1, 2013, the Group Head, U.S. Personal and Commer-
cial Banking became Chief Operating Officer, TD, and subsequently, on 
November 1, 2014, is expected to become the Bank’s Group President 
and Chief Executive Officer. Also effective July 1, 2013, the Group 
Head, Wealth Management, Insurance and Corporate Shared Services 
became Group Head, U.S. Personal and Commercial Banking. Executive 
responsibilities for the Wealth Management business will be moved to 
the Group Head, Canadian Banking and Auto Finance, TD, and the 
Credit Cards and Insurance businesses will be moved to the Group 
Head, Corporate Development, Enterprise Strategy and Treasury, TD. 
The Bank is currently finalizing its future reporting format and will 
update these results for segment reporting purposes effective the first 
quarter of fiscal 2014. These changes will be applied retroactively in  
all periods presented.

CAD P&C comprises the Bank’s personal and business banking in 
Canada and provides financial products and services to personal, small 
business, and commercial customers. Wealth and Insurance provides 
insurance, investment products and services to institutional and retail 
investors, and includes the Bank’s equity investment in TD Ameritrade. 
U.S. P&C provides commercial banking, mortgage banking and other 
financial services in the U.S., primarily in the Northeast and Mid-Atlan-
tic regions and Florida. Wholesale Banking provides financial products 
and services to corporate, government, and institutional customers. 
The Bank’s other activities are grouped into the Corporate segment. 
The Corporate segment includes the effects of asset securitization 
programs, treasury management, collective provision for credit losses 
in CAD P&C and Wholesale Banking, elimination of taxable equivalent 
adjustments and other management reclassifications, corporate level 
tax items, and residual unallocated revenue and expenses. 

The results of each business segment reflect revenue, expenses and 

assets generated by the businesses in that segment. Due to the 
complexity of the Bank, its management reporting model uses various 
estimates, assumptions, allocations and risk-based methodologies for 
funds transfer pricing, inter-segment revenue, income tax rates, capi-
tal, indirect expenses and cost transfers to measure business segment 
results. Transfer pricing of funds is generally applied at market rates. 
Inter-segment revenue is negotiated between each business segment 
and approximates the fair value of the services provided. Income tax 
provision or recovery is generally applied to each segment based on a 
statutory tax rate and may be adjusted for items and activities unique 
to each segment. Amortization of intangibles acquired as a result  
of business combinations is included in the Corporate segment. 
Accordingly, net income for business segments is presented before 
amortization of these intangibles.

Net interest income within Wholesale Banking is calculated on a 
taxable equivalent basis (TEB), which means that the value of non-
taxable or tax-exempt income, including dividends, is adjusted to its 
equivalent before-tax value. Using TEB allows the Bank to measure 
income from all securities and loans consistently and makes for a more 
meaningful comparison of net interest income with similar institutions. 
The TEB adjustment reflected in Wholesale Banking is reversed in the 
Corporate segment. 

The Bank purchases CDS to hedge the credit risk in Wholesale Bank-
ing’s corporate lending portfolio. These CDS do not qualify for hedge 
accounting treatment and are measured at fair value with changes in 
fair value recognized in current period’s earnings. The related loans  
are accounted for at amortized cost. Management believes that this 
asymmetry in the accounting treatment between CDS and loans would 
result in periodic profit and loss volatility which is not indicative of  
the economics of the corporate loan portfolio or the underlying busi-
ness performance in Wholesale Banking. As a result, the CDS are 
accounted for on an accrual basis in Wholesale Banking and the gains 
and losses on the CDS, in excess of the accrued cost, are reported in 
the Corporate segment.

As discussed in Note 6, the Bank reclassified certain debt securities 

from trading to the available-for-sale category effective August 1, 
2008. As part of the Bank’s trading strategy, these debt securities are 
economically hedged, primarily with CDS and interest rate swap 
contracts. These derivatives are not eligible for reclassification and are 
recorded on a fair value basis with changes in fair value recorded in 
the period’s earnings. Management believes that this asymmetry in the 
accounting treatment between derivatives and the reclassified debt 
securities results in volatility in earnings from period to period that is 
not indicative of the economics of the underlying business perfor-
mance in Wholesale Banking. As a result, the derivatives are accounted 
for on an accrual basis in Wholesale Banking and the gains and losses 
related to the derivatives, in excess of the accrued costs, are reported 
in the Corporate segment.

INTEREST RATE RISK

The Bank earns and pays interest on certain assets and liabilities. To 
the extent that the assets, liabilities and financial instruments mature 
or reprice at different points in time, the Bank is exposed to interest 
rate risk. The following table details the balances of interest-rate  
sensitive instruments by the earlier of the maturity or repricing date. 
Contractual repricing dates may be adjusted according to management’s 
estimates for prepayments or early redemptions that are independent 

of changes in interest rates. Certain assets and liabilities are shown as 
non-rate sensitive although the profile assumed for actual management 
may be different. Derivatives are presented in the floating rate category. 
The Bank’s risk management policies and procedures relating to credit, 
market, and liquidity risks as required under IFRS 7 are outlined in  
the shaded sections of the “Managing Risk” section of the MD&A in 
this report.

Concentration of credit risk exists where a number of borrowers or 
counterparties are engaged in similar activities, are located in the  
same geographic area or have comparable economic characteristics. 
Their ability to meet contractual obligations may be similarly affected 

by changing economic, political or other conditions. The Bank’s  
portfolio could be sensitive to changing conditions in particular 
geographic regions.

4  As at October 31, 2013, the current replacement cost of derivative financial  

segment which equalled or exceeded 5% of the total concentration as at October 31, 
2013 was: Real estate 8% (October 31, 2012 – 8%).

2  As at October 31, 2013, the Bank had commitments and contingent liability 

contracts in the amount of $106,169 million (October 31, 2012 – $97,942 million). 
Included are commitments to extend credit totalling $89,466 million (October 31, 
2012 – $81,861 million), of which the credit risk is dispersed as detailed in the 
table above. 

3  Of the commitments to extend credit, industry segments which equalled or 

exceeded 5% of the total concentration were as follows as at October 31, 2013: 
Financial institutions 17% (October 31, 2012 – 16%); pipelines, oil and gas 10% 
(October 31, 2012 – 11%); power and utilities 8% (October 31, 2012 – 8%);

(October 31, 2012 – 5%).

instruments amounted to $48,309 million (October 31, 2012 – $60,475 million). 
Based on the location of the ultimate counterparty, the credit risk was allocated  
as detailed in the table above. The table excludes the fair value of exchange  
traded derivatives. 

5  The largest concentration by counterparty type was with financial institutions 

(including non-banking financial institutions), which accounted for 83% of the 
total as at October 31, 2013 (October 31, 2012 – 74%). The second largest 
concentration was with governments, which accounted for 12% of the total as  
at October 31, 2013 (October 31, 2012 – 21%). No other industry segment 
exceeded 5% of the total.

1 Excludes equity securities.
2  The gross maximum credit exposure for derivatives is based on the credit equivalent 
amount. The amounts exclude exchange traded derivatives and non-trading credit 
derivatives. See Note 10.

3  The balance represents the maximum amount of additional funds that the Bank 
could be obligated to extend should the contracts be fully utilized. The actual  
maximum exposure may differ from the amount reported above. See Note 29.

Credit Quality of Financial Assets
The following table provides the on and off-balance sheet exposures 
by risk-weight for certain financial assets that are subject to the stan-
dardized approach to credit risk. Under the standardized approach, 
assets receive an OSFI-prescribed risk-weight based on factors including 

counterparty type, product type, collateral, and external credit assess-
ments. These assets relate primarily to the Bank’s U.S. Personal and 
Commercial Banking portfolio. Refer to the Managing Risk – Credit 
Risk section of the MD&A for a discussion on the risk rating for the 
standardized approach.

The following tables provide the on and off-balance sheet exposures 
by risk rating for certain non-retail and retail financial assets that are 
subject to the Advanced Internal Rating Based (AIRB) approach to 
credit risk in the Basel III Capital Accord. Under the AIRB approach, 
assets receive a risk rating based on internal models of the Bank’s 

historical loss experience (by counterparty type) and on other key risk 
assumptions. Refer to the Managing Risk – Credit Risk section of the 
MD&A for a discussion on the credit risk rating for non-retail and retail

REGULATORY CAPITAL

The Bank manages its capital under guidelines established by OSFI.  
The regulatory capital guidelines measure capital in relation to credit, 
market and operational risks. The Bank has various capital policies, 
procedures and controls which it utilizes to achieve its goals and  
objectives. 

The Bank’s capital management objectives are:

•   To be an appropriately capitalized financial institution as  

determined by:

  – The Bank’s Risk Appetite Statement;
  –  Capital requirements defined by relevant regulatory authorities; 

and,

  –  The Bank’s internal assessment of capital requirements consistent 

with the Bank’s risk profile and risk tolerance levels.

•   To have the most economically achievable weighted average cost of 
capital (after tax), consistent with preserving the appropriate mix of 
capital elements to meet targeted capitalization levels.

•   To ensure ready access to sources of appropriate capital, at reason-

able cost, in order to:

  – Insulate the Bank from unexpected events; or
  –  Support and facilitate business growth and/or acquisitions consis-

tent with the Bank’s strategy and risk appetite. 

 For accounting purposes, IFRS is followed for consolidation of 
subsidiaries and joint ventures. For regulatory capital purposes, insur-
ance subsidiaries are deconsolidated and reported as a deduction from 
capital. Insurance subsidiaries are subject to their own capital adequacy 
reporting such as OSFI’s Minimum Continuing Capital Surplus Require-
ments and Minimum Capital Test. Currently, for regulatory capital 
purposes, all the entities of the Bank are either consolidated or 
deducted from capital and there are no entities from which surplus 
capital is recognized.  

Some of the Bank’s subsidiaries are individually regulated by either 
OSFI or other regulators. Many of these entities have minimum capital 
requirements which they must maintain and which may limit the Bank’s 
ability to extract capital or funds for other uses.

During the year ended October 31, 2013, the Bank complied with 

the OSFI guideline related to capital ratios and the assets-to-capital 
multiple (ACM). This guideline is based on “A global regulatory  
framework for more resilient banks and banking systems” (Basel III) 
issued by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS). Up until 
October 31, 2012, the guideline was based on the Basel II regulatory 
framework. OSFI’s target CET1, Tier 1 and Total capital ratios for  
Canadian banks are 7%, 8.5% and 10.5%, respectively.

•   To support strong external debt ratings, in order to manage the 

The Bank’s regulatory capital position as at October 31 was  

Bank’s overall cost of funds and to maintain accessibility to required 
funding.

as follows:

These objectives are applied in a manner consistent with the Bank’s over-
all objective of providing a satisfactory return on shareholders’ equity.

Regulatory Capital Position
(millions of Canadian dollars, except as noted)   

Basel III Capital Framework
Changes in capital requirements approved by the Basel Committee on 
Banking and Supervision (BCBS) are commonly referred to as Basel III. 
These changes are intended to strengthen global capital rules with the 
goal of promoting a more resilient global banking sector.

Under Basel III, total capital consists of three components, namely 
Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1), Additional Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital. The 
sum of the first two components is defined as Tier 1 capital. CET1 
capital is mainly comprised of common shares, retained earnings and 
accumulated other comprehensive income, is the highest quality capi-
tal and the predominant form of Tier 1 capital. CET1 capital includes 
regulatory adjustments and deductions for items such as goodwill, 
other intangibles, amounts by which capital items (such as, significant 
investments in CET1 capital of financial institutions, mortgage servicing 
rights and deferred tax assets from temporary differences) exceed 
allowable thresholds. Tier 2 capital is mainly comprised of subordinated 
debt, certain loan loss allowances and minority interests in subsidiaries’ 
Tier 2 instruments.

Under Basel III, risk-weighted assets are higher, primarily as a result 

of the 250% risk-weighted threshold items not deducted from CET1 
capital, securitization exposures being risk weighted (previously 
deducted from capital) and a new capital charge for credit risk related 
to asset value correlation for financial institutions. Regulatory capital 
ratios are calculated by dividing CET1, Tier 1 and Total capital by RWA.
 The BCBS is finalizing a leverage ratio requirement with planned 

implementation in 2018, intended to serve as a supplementary 
measure to the risk-based capital requirements, with the objective of 
constraining excessive leverage.

Capital Position and Capital Ratios
The Basel framework allows qualifying banks to determine capital 
levels consistent with the way they measure, manage and mitigate 
risks. It specifies methodologies for the measurement of credit, market, 
and operational risks. The Bank uses the advanced approaches for  
the majority of its portfolios which results in regulatory and economic 
capital being more closely aligned than was the case under Basel I. 
Since the U.S. banking subsidiaries (TD Bank, N.A. including South 
Financial and Chrysler Financial) were not originally required by their 
main regulators to convert to Basel II prior to being acquired by the 
Bank, the advanced approaches are not yet being utilized for the 
majority of assets in TD Bank, N.A.

1  Effective 2013, the Bank implemented the Basel III regulatory framework. As a 
result, the Bank began reporting the measures, CET1 and CET1 capital ratio, in 
accordance with the “all-in” methodology.

2  The final CAR Guideline postponed the Credit Valuation Adjustment (CVA) capital 

add-on charge until January 1, 2014.

3  Effective 2013, amounts are calculated in accordance with the Basel III regulatory 
framework, and are presented based on the “all-in” methodology. Prior to 2013, 
amounts were calculated in accordance with the Basel II regulatory framework. 
4  Tier 1 capital ratio is calculated as Tier 1 capital divided by risk-weighted assets 

(RWA).

5 Total capital includes CET1, Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital.
6 Total capital ratio is calculated as Total capital divided by RWA.
7  The ACM is calculated as total assets plus off-balance sheet credit instruments, 
such as certain letters of credit and guarantees, less investments in associated 
corporations, goodwill and net intangibles, divided by Total capital.

8  Effective 2013, amounts are calculated in accordance with the Basel III regulatory 
framework, and are presented based on the “transitional” methodology. Prior  
to 2013, amounts were calculated in accordance with the Basel II regulatory  
framework.

OSFI’s relief provision permits phase-in of the impact of IFRS in the 
calculation of regulatory capital on a straight-line basis over five quar-
ters from November 1, 2011 to January 31, 2013. The IFRS transition 
adjustment for regulatory capital is the difference between adjusted 
net Tier 1 capital under Canadian GAAP and IFRS at October 31, 2011 
and the impact has been fully phased in as at January 31, 2013. OSFI 
has also provided IFRS transitional provisions for the ACM, which 
allows for the exclusion of assets securitized and sold through CMHC-
sponsored programs prior to March 31, 2010 from the calculation  
of ACM.

SUBSIDIARIES WHERE THE BANK OWNS 50 PERCENT OR  
LESS OF THE VOTING RIGHTS 
The Bank also consolidates certain subsidiaries where it owns 50 per 
cent or less of the voting rights. Most of those subsidiaries are SPEs 
that are sponsored by the Bank for a variety of purposes. These subsid-
iaries are not included in the ‘Significant Subsidiaries’ table above.

In the normal course of business, the Bank becomes involved with 
SPEs, primarily through the following types of transactions: asset secu-
ritizations, structured finance, commercial paper programs, mutual 
funds, commercial real estate leasing and closed-end funds. The Bank’s 
involvement includes transferring assets to the entities, entering into 
derivative contracts with them, providing credit enhancement and 
liquidity facilities, providing investment management and administra-
tive services, and holding ownership or other investment interests in 
the entities. Refer to Note 9, Special Purpose Entities.

INVESTEES WHERE THE BANK OWNS MORE THAN HALF OF 
THE VOTING RIGHTS 
The Bank owns directly or indirectly more than half of the voting rights 
of investees but does not have control over these investees when:
•   Another investor has the power over more than half of the voting 

rights by virtue of an agreement with the Bank; or

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Sale of TD Waterhouse Institutional Services
On November 12, 2013, TD Waterhouse Canada Inc., a subsidiary of 
the Bank, completed the sale of the Bank’s institutional services busi-
ness, known as TD Waterhouse Institutional Services, to a subsidiary  
of National Bank of Canada. The transaction price was $250 million, 
subject to certain price adjustment mechanisms. The effects of the  
sale will be recorded in the first quarter of fiscal 2014. 

•   Another investor has the power to govern the financial and operating 

policies of the investee under a statute or an agreement; or 

•   Another investor has the power to appoint or remove the majority 
of the members of the board of directors or equivalent governing 
body and the investee is controlled by that board or body, or when 
another investor has the power to cast the majority of votes at 
meetings of the board of directors or equivalent governing body 
and control of the entity is by that board or body.

SUBSIDIARIES WITH RESTRICTIONS TO TRANSFER FUNDS
Certain of the Bank’s subsidiaries have regulatory requirements to fulfill, 
in accordance with applicable law, in order to transfer funds, including 
paying dividends to, repaying loans to, or redeeming subordinated 
debentures issued to, the Bank. These customary requirements include, 
but are not limited to:
•   Local regulatory capital and/or surplus adequacy requirements;
•   Basel requirements under Pillar I and Pillar II;
•   Local regulatory approval requirements; and
•   Local corporate and/or securities laws.

Stock Dividend
The Bank’s Board of Directors has declared a stock dividend of one 
common share per each issued and outstanding common share,  
which has the same effect as a two-for-one split of the common  
share. Shareholders of record as at the close of business on January 
23, 2014 are entitled to receive the stock dividend on the payment 
date of January 31, 2014. In future periods, the Bank will present  
earnings per share figures to give effect to the stock dividend. The 
following table presents the pro forma effect on the Bank’s basic and 
diluted earnings per share, as if the stock dividend was retroactively 
applied to all periods presented.

  1  Results prepared in accordance with GAAP are referred to as “reported”. Adjusted 
results (excluding “items of note”, net of income taxes, from reported results)  
and related terms are not defined terms under GAAP and therefore, may not  
be comparable to similar terms used by other issuers. For further explanation,  
see “How the Bank Reports” in the accompanying MD&A.

  5  Effective 2013, Insurance revenue and Insurance claims and related expenses are

amounts, including certain ratios, have been recast to conform with the current 
period presentation.

prices for the year.

  7  The price earnings ratio is computed using diluted net income per common share.

additional information on acquired credit-impaired loans, see the “Credit Portfolio 
Quality” section of the 2013 MD&A. For additional information on debt securities 
classified as loans, see the “Exposure to Non-agency Collateralized Mortgage 
Obligations” discussion and tables in the “Credit Portfolio Quality” section of the 
2013 MD&A.

1  Results prepared in accordance with 
GAAP are referred to as “reported”. 
Adjusted results (excluding “items 
of note”, net of income taxes, from 
reported results) and related terms are 
not defined terms under GAAP and 
therefore, may not be comparable to 
similar terms used by other issuers. 
For further explanation, see “How the 
Bank Reports” in the accompanying 
MD&A. Adjusted results are presented 
from 2004 to allow for sufficient years 
for historical comparison. Adjusted 
results shown for years prior to 2006 
reflect adjustments for amortization 
of intangibles and certain identified 
items as previously disclosed by the 
Bank for the applicable period, except 
as noted. See the following page for  
a reconciliation with reported results. 

2  Effective 2008, treasury shares have 
been reclassified from common and 
preferred shares and are shown sepa-
rately. Prior to 2008, the amounts for 
treasury shares were not reasonably 
determinable.

of future tax increase of $17 million 
reported in the report to shareholders  
for the quarter ended January 31,  
2004. For 2006, the impact of future tax 
decreases of $24 million on adjusted

2   Effective 2008, treasury shares have been 
reclassified from common and preferred 
shares and are shown separately. Prior 
to 2008, the amounts for treasury shares 
were not reasonably determinable. 

3   Return is calculated based on share price 
movement and reinvested dividends over 
the trailing twelve-month period. 
4   The efficiency ratios under Canadian 

GAAP for the years 2011 and before are 
based on the presentation of Insurance 
revenues being reported net of claims 
and expenses. 

5   Dividends paid during the year divided  
by average of high and low common 
share prices for the year. 

6   The price earnings ratio is computed  

using diluted net income per  
common share. 

7   Includes customers’ liability under  

acceptances. 

8   Excludes acquired credit-impaired loans 
and debt securities classified as loans. 
For additional information on acquired 
credit-impaired loans, see the “Credit 
Portfolio Quality” section of the 2013 
MD&A. For additional information on 
debt securities classified as loans, see the 
“Exposure to Non-agency Collateralized 
Mortgage Obligations” discussion and 
tables in the “Credit Portfolio Quality” 
section of the 2013 MD&A. 

9   Reflects the number of employees on  
an average full-time equivalent basis.
10  Includes retail bank outlets, private

GLOSSARY

Financial and Banking Terms

Adjusted Results: A non-GAAP financial measure used to assess each of the Bank’s 
businesses and to measure the Bank’s overall performance.

Futures: Contracts to buy or sell a security at a predetermined price on a specified 
future date.

Allowance for Credit Losses: Total allowance for credit losses consists of counter-
party-specific, collectively assessed allowance for individually insignificant impaired 
loans, and collectively assessed allowance for incurred but not identified credit losses. 
The allowance is increased by the provision for credit losses, and decreased by write-
offs net of recoveries. The Bank maintains the allowance at levels that management 
believes are adequate to absorb credit-related losses in the lending portfolio.

Alt-A Mortgages: A classification of mortgages where borrowers have a clean 
credit history consistent with prime lending criteria. However, characteristics about 
the mortgage such as loan to value (LTV), loan documentation, occupancy status or 
property type, etc., may cause the mortgage not to qualify under standard under-
writing programs.

Amortized Cost: The original cost of an investment purchased at a discount or 
premium plus or minus the portion of the discount or premium subsequently taken 
into income over the period to maturity.

Assets under Administration: Assets that are beneficially owned by customers 
where the Bank provides services of an administrative nature, such as the collection 
of investment income and the placing of trades on behalf of the clients (where the 
client has made his or her own investment selection). These assets are not reported 
on the Bank’s Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Assets under Management: Assets that are beneficially owned by customers, 
managed by the Bank, where the Bank makes investment selections on behalf of 
the client (in accordance with an investment policy). In addition to the TD family 
of mutual funds, the Bank manages assets on behalf of individuals, pension funds, 
corporations, institutions, endowments and foundations. These assets are not 
reported on the Bank’s Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Asset-backed Securities (ABS): A security whose value and income payments are 
derived from and collateralized (or “backed”) by a specified pool of underlying assets.

Average Common Equity: Average common equity is the equity cost of capital 
calculated using the capital asset pricing model.

Average Earnings Assets: The average carrying value of deposits with banks, loans 
and securities based on daily balances for the period ending October 31 in each 
fiscal year.

Average Invested Capital: Average invested capital is equal to average common 
equity plus the average cumulative after-tax amounts of goodwill and intangible 
assets amortized as of the reporting date.

Carrying Value: The value at which an asset or liability is carried at on the Consoli-
dated Balance Sheet.

Collateralized Debt Obligation (CDO): Collateralized securities with multiple 
tranches that are issued by special purpose entities (SPEs). Each tranche offers a 
varying degree of risk and return to meet investor demand. In the event of a default, 
interest and principal payments are made in order of seniority.

Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1): This is a primary Basel III capital measure comprised 
mainly of common equity, retained earnings and qualifying non-controlling interest 
in subsidiaries. Regulatory deductions made to arrive at the CET1 capital include 
goodwill and intangibles, unconsolidated investments in banking, financial, and 
insurance entities, deferred tax assets, defined benefit pension fund assets and 
shortfalls in allowances. 

CET1 Ratio: CET1 ratio represents the predominant measure of capital adequacy 
under Basel III and equals CET1 capital divided by RWA.  

Credit Valuation Adjustment (CVA): CVA represents an add-on capital charge 
that measures credit risk due to default of derivative counterparties. This add-on 
charge requires banks to capitalize for the potential changes in counterparty credit 
spread for the derivative portfolios. As per OSFI’s Final Capital Adequacy Require-
ments (CAR) guideline, CVA capital add-on charge will be effective January 1, 2014.

Dividend Yield: Dividends paid during the year divided by average of high and low 
common share prices for the year.

Economic Profit: A tool to measure shareholder value creation. Economic profit is 
the Bank’s adjusted net income less preferred dividends and a charge for average 
invested capital.

Efficiency Ratio: Non-interest expenses as a percentage of total revenue, the  
efficiency ratio measures the efficiency of the Bank’s operations.

Effective Interest Rate: Discount rate applied to estimated future cash payments  
or receipts over the expected life of the financial instrument (or, when appropriate),  
a shorter period, to arrive at the net carrying amount of the financial asset or liability.

Fair Value: The amount of consideration that would be agreed upon in an arm’s 
length transaction between knowledgeable, willing parties who are under no 
compulsion to act.

Forward Contracts: Contracts that oblige one party to the contract to buy and the 
other party to sell an asset for a fixed price at a future date.

TD BANK GROU P AN NUAL REPO RT  20 13 GLOSSA RY

Hedging: A risk management technique intended to mitigate the Bank’s exposure 
to fluctuations in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, or other market 
factors. The elimination or reduction of such exposure is accomplished by engaging 
in capital markets activities to establish offsetting positions.

Impaired Loans: Loans where, in management’s opinion, there has been a deterio-
ration of credit quality to the extent that the Bank no longer has reasonable assurance 
as to the timely collection of the full amount of principal and interest.

Mark-to-Market: A valuation that reflects current market rates as at the balance 
sheet date for financial instruments that are carried at fair value.

Master Netting Agreements: Legal agreements between two parties that have 
multiple derivative contracts with each other that provide for the net settlement of 
all contracts through a single payment, in a single currency, in the event of default 
or termination of any one contract.

Net Interest Margin: Net interest income as a percentage of average earning assets.

Notional: A reference amount on which payments for derivative financial instruments 
are based.

Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions Canada (OSFI): The 
regulator of Canadian federally chartered financial institutions and federally admin-
istered pension plans.

Options: Contracts in which the writer of the option grants the buyer the future 
right, but not the obligation, to buy or to sell a security, exchange rate, interest 
rate, or other financial instrument or commodity at a predetermined price at or 
by a specified future date.

Prime Jumbo Mortgages: A classification of mortgages where borrowers have a 
clean credit history consistent with prime lending criteria and standard mortgage 
characteristics. However, the size of the mortgage exceeds the maximum size 
allowed under government sponsored mortgage entity programs.

Provision for Credit Losses (PCL): Amount added to the allowance for credit 
losses to bring it to a level that management considers adequate to absorb all credit 
related losses in its portfolio.

Return on Common Shareholders’ Equity: Net income available to common 
shareholders as a percentage of average common shareholders’ equity. A broad 
measurement of a bank’s effectiveness in employing shareholders’ funds.

Return on Invested Capital (ROIC): A measure of shareholder value calculated 
as adjusted net income less preferred dividends, divided by average invested capital.

Risk-weighted Assets (RWA): Assets calculated by applying a regulatory prede-
termined risk-weight factor to on and off-balance sheet exposures. The risk-weight 
factors are established by the OSFI to convert on and off-balance sheet exposures 
to a comparable risk level.

Securitization: The process by which financial assets, mainly loans, are transferred 
to a trust, which normally issues a series of asset-backed securities to investors to 
fund the purchase of loans.

Special Purpose Entities (SPEs): Entities that are created to accomplish a narrow 
and well-defined objective. SPEs may take the form of a corporation, trust, partner-
ship, or unincorporated entity. SPEs are often created with legal arrangements that 
impose limits on the decision-making powers of their governing board, trustees or 
management over the operations of the SPE.

Swaps: Contracts that involve the exchange of fixed and floating interest rate payment 
obligations and currencies on a notional principal for a specified period of time.

Taxable Equivalent Basis (TEB): A non-GAAP financial measure that increases 
revenues and the provision for income taxes by an amount that would increase reve-
nues on certain tax-exempt securities to an equivalent before-tax basis to facilitate 
comparison of net interest income from both taxable and tax-exempt sources.

Tier 1 Capital Ratio: Tier 1 capital represents the more permanent forms of capital, 
consisting primarily of common shareholders’ equity, retained earnings, preferred 
shares and innovative instruments. Tier 1 capital ratio is calculated as Tier 1 capital 
divided by RWA.

Total Capital Ratio: Total capital is defined as the total of net Tier 1 and Tier 2 
capital. Total capital ratio is calculated as total capital divided by RWA.

Total Shareholder Return (TSR): The change in market price plus dividends  
paid during the year as a percentage of the prior year’s closing market price per 
common share.

Value-at-Risk (VaR): A metric used to monitor and control overall risk levels and 
to calculate the regulatory capital required for market risk in trading activities. VaR 
measures the adverse impact that potential changes in market rates and prices could 
have on the value of a portfolio over a specified period of time.
