In the second quarter of 2022, agency RMBS and agency commercial MBS, with an aggregate amortized cost of $975 million and fair value of $906 million were transferred from available-for-sale securities to held-to-maturity securities. In the first quarter of 2022, agency RMBS, U.S. government agencies and agency commercial MBS, with an aggregate amortized cost of $5.3 billion and fair value of $5.2 billion were transferred from available-for-sale securities to held-to-maturity securities. Both transfers reduce the impact of changes in interest rates on accumulated other comprehensive income.

Allowance for credit losses – Securities

The allowance for credit losses related to securities was $10 million at June 30, 2022 and $10 million at Dec. 31, 2021, and primarily relates to the available-for-sale CLO portfolio.

Credit quality indicators – Securities

At June 30, 2022, the gross unrealized losses on the securities portfolio were primarily attributable to an increase in interest rates from the date of purchase, and for certain securities that were transferred from available-for-sale to held-to-maturity, an increase in interest rates through the date they were transferred. Specifically, $200 million of the unrealized losses at June 30, 2022 and $75 million at Dec. 31, 2021 reflected in the tables below relate to certain securities that were previously transferred from available-for-sale to held-to-maturity. The unrealized losses will be amortized into net interest revenue over the contractual lives of the securities. The transfer created a new cost basis for the securities. As a result, if these securities have experienced unrealized losses since the date of transfer, the corresponding fair value and unrealized losses would be reflected in the held-to-maturity securities portfolio in the following tables. We do not intend to sell these securities, and it is not more likely than not that we will have to sell these securities.
The following tables show the aggregate fair value of available-for-sale securities with a continuous unrealized loss position for less than 12 months and those that have been in a continuous unrealized loss position for 12 months or more without an allowance for credit losses.

The following tables show the credit quality of the held-to-maturity securities. We have included certain credit ratings information because the information can indicate the degree of credit risk to which we are exposed. Significant changes in ratings classifications could indicate increased credit risk for us and could be accompanied by an increase in the allowance for credit losses and/or a reduction in the fair value of our securities portfolio.

Pledged assets

At June 30, 2022, BNY Mellon had pledged assets of $140 billion, including $111 billion pledged as collateral for potential borrowings at the Federal Reserve Discount Window and $8 billion pledged as collateral for borrowing at the Federal Home Loan Bank. The components of the assets pledged at June 30, 2022 included $123 billion of securities, $13 billion of loans, $3 billion of trading assets and $1 billion of interest-bearing deposits with banks.

If there has been no borrowing at the Federal Reserve Discount Window, the Federal Reserve generally allows banks to freely move assets in and out of their
pledged assets account to sell or repledge the assets for other purposes. BNY Mellon regularly moves assets in and out of its pledged assets account at the Federal Reserve.

At Dec. 31, 2021, BNY Mellon had pledged assets of $144 billion, including $112 billion pledged as collateral for potential borrowing at the Federal Reserve Discount Window and $7 billion pledged as collateral for borrowing at the Federal Home Loan Bank. The components of the assets pledged at Dec. 31, 2021 included $126 billion of securities, $12 billion of loans, $5 billion of trading assets and $1 billion of interest-bearing deposits with banks.
At June 30, 2022 and Dec. 31, 2021, pledged assets included $21 billion and $24 billion, respectively, for which the recipients were permitted to sell or repledge the assets delivered.

We also obtain securities as collateral, including receipts under resale agreements, securities borrowed, derivative contracts and custody agreements, on terms which permit us to sell or repledge the securities to others. At June 30, 2022 and Dec. 31, 2021, the market value of the securities received that can be sold or repledged was $92 billion and $122 billion, respectively. We routinely sell or repledge these securities through delivery to third parties. As of June 30, 2022 and Dec. 31, 2021, the market value of securities collateral sold or repledged was $57 billion and $78 billion, respectively.

Restricted cash and securities
Cash and securities may be segregated under federal and other regulations or requirements. At June 30, 2022 and Dec. 31, 2021, cash segregated under federal and other regulations or requirements was $4 billion. Restricted cash is primarily included in interest-bearing deposits with banks on the consolidated balance sheet. Securities segregated under federal and other regulations or requirements were $5 billion at June 30, 2022 and $4 billion at Dec. 31, 2021. Restricted securities were sourced from securities purchased under resale agreements and are included in federal funds sold and securities purchased under resale agreements on the consolidated balance sheet.
