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 Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (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. For information on the Company's methodology for determining the fair value of investment securities and related accounting policies, refer to Note 3 on pages 68 – 71 of the Annual Report.

 

The following is a summary of investment securities as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013:

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 (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 periods presented.

 

Supplemental Information

Gross realized gains on the sales of investment securities, included in other non-interest revenues, were $39 million and $36 million, for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. There were no gross realized losses for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013.

Contractual maturities of investment securities, excluding equity securities and other securities, as of March 31, 2014 were as follows:

       Estimated
(Millions) Cost  Fair Value
Due within 1 year $ 333 $ 333
Due after 1 year but within 5 years   451   459
Due after 5 years but within 10 years   208   220
Due after 10 years   3,559   3,633
Total $ 4,551 $ 4,645

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.
