5. Investment Securities

Investment securities include debt and equity securities classified as available for sale. The Company's investment securities, principally debt securities, are carried at fair value on the Consolidated Balance Sheets with unrealized gains (losses) recorded in AOCI, net of income taxes. Realized gains and losses are recognized in results of operations upon disposition of the securities using the specific identification method on a trade date basis. Refer to Note 2 for a description of the Company's methodology for determining the fair value of investment securities.

 

The following is a summary of investment securities as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012:

The gross unrealized losses are attributed to overall wider credit spreads for state and municipal securities, wider credit spreads for specific issuers, adverse changes in market benchmark interest rates, or a combination thereof, all as compared to those prevailing when the investment securities were acquired.

 

Overall, for the investment securities in gross unrealized loss positions identified above, (i) the Company does not intend to sell the investment securities, (ii) it is more likely than not that the Company will not be required to sell the investment securities before recovery of the unrealized losses, and (iii) the Company expects that the contractual principal and interest will be received on the investment securities. As a result, the Company recognized no other-than-temporary impairment during the six months ended June 30, 2013 or the year ended December 31, 2012.

Contractual maturities of investment securities, excluding equity securities and other securities, as of June 30, 2013 were as follows:

       Estimated
(Millions) Cost  Fair Value
Due within 1 year $ 432 $ 433
Due after 1 year but within 5 years   392   399
Due after 5 years but within 10 years   176   184
Due after 10 years   3,966   4,007
Total $ 4,966 $ 5,023

The expected payments on state and municipal obligations and mortgage-backed securities may not coincide with their contractual maturities because the issuers have the right to call or prepay certain obligations.
