Note 3: Securities
Investment Portfolio Management
Our investment portfolio serves the liquidity and income needs of the Company. While the portfolio serves as an important component of the overall liquidity management at the Bank, portions of the portfolio will also serve as income producing assets. The size and composition of the portfolio reflects liquidity needs, loan demand and interest income objectives.
Portfolio size and composition will be adjusted from time to time. While a significant portion of the portfolio consists of readily marketable securities to address liquidity, other parts of the portfolio may reflect funds invested pending future loan demand or to maximize interest income without undue interest rate risk.
Investments are comprised of debt securities and non-marketable equity investments. Until the third quarter of 2013, all debt securities had been classified as available-for-sale. Securities available-for-sale are carried at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, on securities available-for-sale are reported as a separate component of equity. This balance sheet component changes as interest rates and market conditions change. Unrealized gains and losses are not included in the calculation of regulatory capital.
Securities held-to-maturity are carried at amortized cost and the discount or premium created in the 2013 transfer from available-for-sale securities or at the time of purchase thereafter is accreted or amortized to the maturity or expected payoff date but not an earlier call. In accordance with GAAP, the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity.
Nonmarketable equity investments include FHLBC stock and Reserve Bank stock. FHLBC stock was $3.7 million and $4.3 million at December 31, 2015, and December 31, 2014. Reserve Bank stock was $4.8 million at December 31, 2015, and December 31, 2014. Our FHLBC stock is necessary to maintain access to FHLBC advances.
The following table summarizes the amortized cost and fair value of the securities portfolio at December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 and the corresponding amounts of gross unrealized gains and losses (in thousands):

During the twelve months ended December 31, 2015, we added $58.7 million to the total securities portfolio (net of payoffs, maturities, sales, calls, amortization and accretion). This change is largely found in asset-backed securities and, to a lesser amount, states and political subdivisions. Holdings of asset backed securities, primarily securities backed by student loan obligations, were reduced in 2014.
Securities valued at $340.2 million as of December 31, 2015, (up from $267.8 million at year-end 2014) were pledged to secure deposits and for other purposes.
The fair value, amortized cost and weighted average yield of debt securities at December 31, 2015, by contractual maturity, were as follows in the table below. Securities not due at a single maturity date are shown separately.

At December 31, 2015, the Company’s investments include asset-backed securities that are backed by student loans originated under the Federal Family Education Loan program (“FFEL”). Under the FFEL, private lenders made federally guaranteed student loans to parents and students. While the program was modified several times before elimination in 2010, not less than 97% of the outstanding principal amount of the loans made under FFEL are guaranteed by the U.S. Department of Education. A number of major student loan originators packaged loans and sold them as asset-backed securities.
The Company has accumulated the securities of the following three different originators that individually amount to over 10% of the Company’s stockholders equity. Information regarding these three issuers and the value of the securities issued follows:
