FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Investments
The Corporation's investments in marketable securities are classified as available-for-sale. Proceeds from sales of available-for-sale securities in 2015 were $1 million (zero in 2014 and 2013).

Portfolio managers regularly review all of the Corporation's holdings to determine if any investments are other-than-temporarily impaired. The analysis includes reviewing the amount of the impairment, as well as the length of time it has been impaired. In addition, specific guidelines for each instrument type are followed to determine if an other-than-temporary impairment has occurred. At December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, there were no impairment indicators or circumstances that would result in a material adjustment of these investments.

The Corporation's investments in debt securities, shown below, had contractual maturities of less than 10 years at December 31, 2015.
