Management evaluates available-for-sale investment securities for an allowance for credit losses on a quarterly basis.  At September 30, 2020, management concluded that no individual securities at an unrealized loss position required an allowance for credit losses. At September 30, 2020, Peoples did not have the intent to sell, nor was it more likely than not that Peoples would be required to sell, any of the securities with an unrealized loss prior to recovery. Further, the unrealized losses at both September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 were largely attributable to changes in market interest rates and spreads since the securities were purchased, and were not credit related losses. Accrued interest receivable is not included in investment securities balances, and is presented in the “Other assets” line of the Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets, with no recorded allowance for credit losses. Interest receivable on investment securities was $3.4 million at September 30, 2020 and $3.6 million at December 31, 2019.
At September 30, 2020, approximately 99% of the mortgage-backed securities with a market value that had been at an unrealized loss position for twelve months or more were issued by U.S. government sponsored agencies. The remaining 1%, or two positions, consisted of privately issued mortgage-backed securities with all of the underlying mortgages originated prior to 2004. Neither of the two positions had a fair value of less than 90% of its book value. Management analyzed the underlying credit quality of these mortgage-backed securities and concluded the unrealized losses were primarily attributable to the floating rate nature of these investments and the low remaining number of loans underlying these securities.
The unrealized losses with respect to the two bank-issued trust preferred securities that had been in an unrealized loss position for twelve months or more at September 30, 2020 were primarily attributable to the subordinated nature of the debt.
The table below presents the amortized cost, fair value and total weighted-average yield of available-for-sale securities by contractual maturity at September 30, 2020.  The weighted-average yields are based on the amortized cost.  In some cases, the issuers may have the right to call or prepay obligations without call or prepayment penalties prior to the contractual maturity date.

(a)    On January 1, 2020, Peoples adopted ASU 2016-13 and adopted the CECL model, which resulted in the establishment of a $7,000 allowance for credit losses for held-to-maturity investment securities.
There were no gross gains or gross losses realized by Peoples from sales of held-to-maturity securities for any of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019.
Management evaluates held-to-maturity investment securities for an allowance for credit losses on a quarterly basis. The majority of Peoples' held-to-maturity investment securities are issued by U.S. government sponsored agencies. The remaining securities are obligations of state and political subdivisions. Peoples analyzed these securities using cumulative default rate averages for investment grade municipal securities and determined that the potential credit losses of the securities was $6,000. As a result, at September 30, 2020, Peoples recorded $6,000 of allowance for credit losses for held-to-maturity securities, compared to $7,000 at January 1, 2020.

The table below presents the amortized cost, fair value and total weighted-average yield of held-to-maturity securities by contractual maturity at September 30, 2020.  The weighted-average yields are based on the amortized cost and are computed on a fully taxable-equivalent basis using a statutory federal corporate income tax rate of 21%.  In some cases, the issuers may have the right to call or prepay obligations without call or prepayment penalties prior to the contractual maturity date.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, Peoples redeemed FHLB stock in order to be in compliance with the requirements of the FHLB of Cincinnati. These redemptions totaled $2.1 million during the third quarter of 2020, $4.5 million during the second quarter of 2020, and $700,000 during the first quarter of 2020. Peoples purchased no additional FHLB stock during the third and second quarters of 2020, and purchased $5.0 million of additional FHLB stock during the first quarter of 2020, as a result of the FHLB of Cincinnati's capital requirements on FHLB advances during the quarter.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, Peoples recorded the change in the fair value of equity investment securities held at September 30, 2020, in other non-interest income, resulting in unrealized gain of $1,000 and unrealized loss of $15,000, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, Peoples recorded the change in the fair value of equity investment securities held at September 30, 2019, in other non-interest income, resulting in an unrealized gain of $19,000 and $828,000, respectively. Net realized gains on sales of equity investment securities, included in other non-interest income during the
first nine months of 2019, consisted of a realized gain of $787,000 related to the sale of restricted Class B Visa stock, which had been held at a carrying cost and fair value of zero due to the litigation liability associated with the stock.
At September 30, 2020, Peoples' investment in equity investment securities was comprised largely of common stocks issued by various unrelated bank holding companies. There were no equity investment securities of a single issuer that exceeded 10% of Peoples' stockholders' equity.
