Management systematically evaluates available-for-sale investment securities for an allowance of credit losses on a quarterly basis. At December 31, 2020, management concluded no individual securities at an unrealized loss position required an allowance for credit losses. At December 31, 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 December 31, 2020 and 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 Consolidated Balance Sheets, with no recorded allowance for credit losses. Interest receivable on investment securities was $2.7 million at December 31, 2020 and $3.6 million at December 31, 2019
At December 31, 2020, approximately 99% of the fair value of mortgage-backed securities 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 their 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 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 December 31, 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 December 31, 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.

(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 the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018.
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. As a result, at December 31, 2020, Peoples recorded $60,000 of allowance for credit losses for held-to-maturity securities, compared to $7,000 at January 1, 2020.

Other Investment Securities
Peoples' other investment securities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets consist largely of shares of FHLB of Cincinnati and FRB of Cleveland stock, and other equity investment securities.
The following table summarizes the carrying value of Peoples' other investment securities at December 31:

Equity investment securities299 321 
Other investment securities365 365 
Total other investment securities$37,560 $42,730 
During 2020, Peoples redeemed $10.5 million of FHLB stock in order to be in compliance with the requirements of the FHLB. Peoples purchased $5.0 million of additional FHLB stock during 2020, as a result of the FHLB's capital requirements on FHLB advances during the year. During 2019, Peoples redeemed $4.9 million of FHLB stock in order to be in compliance with the requirements of the FHLB, and acquired $2.8 million of FHLB stock through the First Prestonsburg acquisition.
As of January 1, 2018, Peoples adopted ASU 2016-01, which requires changes in the fair value of equity investment securities to be recognized in net income. Prior to 2018, changes in the fair value of equity investment securities were recognized through AOCI. During the year ended December 31, 2020, Peoples recorded the change in the fair value of equity investment securities held at December 31, 2020 in other non-interest income, resulting in an unrealized loss of $19,000. Net realized gains on sales of equity investment securities included in other non-interest income during 2020 consisted of a realized gain of $680,000 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. During the year ended December 31, 2019, Peoples recorded the change in the fair value of equity investment securities held at December 31, 2019 in other non-interest income, resulting in unrealized gain of $44,000. Additionally, the adoption of ASU 2016-01 resulted in the reclassification of equity investment securities from available-for-sale investment securities to other investment securities. Consequently, as of January 1, 2018, net realized gains on the sale of equity investment securities are included in other non-interest income on the Consolidated Statements of Income. Net realized gains on sales of equity investment securities, included in other non-interest income during 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. During 2018, there was a $413,000 realized loss on the sale of equity investment securities, included in other non-interest income.
At December 31, 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.

Peoples had pledged available-for-sale investment securities and held-to-maturity investment securities to secure public and trust department deposits, and Repurchase Agreements in accordance with federal and state requirements.  Peoples also pledged available-for-sale investment securities and held-to-maturity securities to secure additional borrowing capacity at the FHLB and the FRB.
