For the securities in the previous table, the Company does not
 
have the intent to sell and has determined it is not more likely
than not that the Company will be required to sell the security
 
before recovery of the amortized cost basis, which may be
maturity. On a quarterly basis,
 
the Company assesses each security for credit impairment. For
 
debt securities, the Company
evaluates, where necessary,
 
whether credit impairment exists by comparing the present value
 
of the expected cash flows to
the securities’ amortized cost basis.
 
In determining whether a loss is temporary,
 
the Company considers all relevant information including:
 
 
 
the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been
 
less than the amortized cost basis;
 
 
adverse conditions specifically related to the security,
 
an industry, or a geographic
 
area (for example, changes in
the financial condition of the issuer of the security,
 
or in the case of an asset-backed debt security,
 
in the financial
condition of the underlying loan obligors, including changes in technology
 
or the discontinuance of a segment of
the business that may affect the future earnings potential of
 
the issuer or underlying loan obligors of the security or
changes in the quality of the credit enhancement);
 
the historical and implied volatility of the fair value of the security;
 
 
the payment structure of the debt security and the likelihood of the issuer
 
being able to make payments that
increase in the future;
 
 
failure of the issuer of the security to make scheduled interest
 
or principal payments;
 
 
any changes to the rating of the security by a rating agency; and
 
recoveries or additional declines in fair value subsequent to the
 
balance sheet date.
 
Agency obligations
 
 
The unrealized losses associated with agency obligations were
 
primarily driven by changes in interest rates and not due to
the credit quality of the securities. These securities were issued
 
by U.S. government agencies or government-sponsored
entities and did not have any credit losses given the explicit government
 
guarantee or other government support.
 
Agency mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”)
 
 
The unrealized losses associated with agency MBS were primarily
 
driven by changes in interest rates and not due to the
credit quality of the securities. These securities were issued by U.S.
 
government agencies or government-sponsored entities
and did not have any credit losses given the explicit government guarantee
 
or other government support.
 
 
Securities of U.S. states and political subdivisions
 
 
The unrealized losses associated with securities of U.S. states and
 
political subdivisions were primarily driven by changes
in interest rates and were not due to the credit quality of the securities.
 
Some of these securities are guaranteed by a bond
insurer, but management did not rely on the
 
guarantee in making its investment decision. These securities
 
will continue to
be monitored as part of the Company’s
 
quarterly impairment
 
analysis, but are expected to perform even if the rating
agencies reduce the credit rating of the bond insurers. As a result, the
 
Company expects to recover the entire amortized cost
basis of these securities.
 
 
The carrying values of the Company’s
 
investment securities could decline in the future if the financial
 
condition of an
issuer deteriorates and the Company determines it is probable
 
that it will not recover the entire amortized cost basis for the
security. As a result, there is
 
a risk that other-than-temporary impairment charges
 
may occur in the future.
Other-Than-Temporarily
 
Impaired Securities
 
Credit-impaired debt securities are debt securities where the Company
 
has written down the amortized cost basis of a
security for other-than-temporary impairment and the credit
 
component of the loss is recognized in earnings. At
December 31,
 
2020 and 2019, respectively, the Company
 
had no credit-impaired debt securities and there were no additions
or reductions in the credit loss component of credit-impaired
 
debt securities during the years ended December 31, 2020
 
and
2019, respectively.
