• Consolidated obligations are joint and several obligations of the 11 Federal Home Loan Banks, are issued through the Office of Finance via securities dealers, and are not guaranteed by the U.S. government. The FHFA may require any Bank to repay obligations for which another Bank is the primary obligor.

Why It Matters
This filing notifies investors that FHLBank Topeka raised short‑ and long‑term funding as primary obligor, including a large $500M floating‑rate note and two longer‑dated fixed‑rate callable bonds totaling $30M. Consolidated obligations fund the Bank’s operations and affect its debt profile; they are backed by the financial resources of the Federal Home Loan Banks collectively (not the U.S. Treasury). Investors should note the amounts, maturities, coupon types and the regulatory structure (joint and several liability under FHFA rules) when assessing funding risk and interest‑rate exposure.
