At December 31, 2015 and 2014, net unrealized losses on AFS securities included in AOCI amounted to $3.8 million, net of a deferred tax benefit of $2.0 million, and $319,000, net of a deferred tax benefit of $171,000, respectively.

Impaired Investment Securities

Management periodically reviews the Company’s investment portfolio to determine the cause, magnitude and duration of declines in the fair value of each security. Thorough evaluations of the causes of the unrealized losses are performed to determine whether the impairment is temporary or other-than-temporary in nature. Considerations such as the ability of the securities to meet cash flow requirements, levels of credit enhancements, risk of curtailment, recoverability of invested amount over a reasonable period of time, and the length of time the security is in a loss position, for example, are applied in determining OTTI. Once a decline in value is determined to be other-than-temporary, the cost basis of the security is permanently reduced and a corresponding charge to earnings is recognized.

The following table presents the estimated fair values and gross unrealized losses of investment securities that were in a continuous loss position at December 31, 2015 and 2014, by length of time that individual securities in each category have been in a continuous loss position:

At December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company held 109 and 74 investment securities with a fair value of $546.0 million and $434.1 million that were in an unrealized loss position totaling $10.2 million and $7.9 million, respectively, that are considered temporary. Of these, mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations with a fair value of $192.8 million and $308.0 million were in an unrealized loss position totaling $6.7 million and $7.3 million at December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and that have been in an unrealized loss position for 12 months or more. The decline in the fair value of the debt securities is reflective of current interest rates in excess of the yield received on investments and was not indicative of an overall credit deterioration or other factors with the Company's investment portfolio. At December 31, 2015 and 2014, gross unrealized losses on the Company's AFS and HTM securities were 2% of the respective investment securities fair value.

The Company has the intent and ability to retain its investment securities in an unrealized loss position at December 31, 2015 until the decline in value has recovered.

For the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014, and 2013, the Company sold certain AFS investment securities with a total carrying value of $12.4 million, $25.2 million, and $16.8 million, respectively, to manage its liquidity and interest rate risk, and recorded net gains on the sale of AFS securities of $4,000, $451,000, and $785,000, respectively, within non-interest income in the consolidated statements of income. The investments securities that were sold were primarily selected based on an assessment of their prepayment speed.

In the third quarter of 2015, the Company sold all of its Non-Agency investments along with $7.3 million of MBS investments experiencing high prepayment speeds. In anticipation of the closing of the acquisition of SBM on October 16, 2015, the Company proactively sought to restructure its investment portfolio and, in doing so, determined it was in the Company's best interest to sell of its Non-Agency investments. The Company had previously recorded OTTI on its Non-Agency investments of $204,000.

FHLBB and FRB Stock

As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company's investment in FHLBB stock was $20.6 million and $19.5 million, respectively. At December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company's investment in FRB stock was $908,000 and $891,000, respectively.

Securities Pledged

At December 31, 2015 and 2014, securities with an amortized cost of $577.6 million and $486.2 million, respectively, and estimated fair values of $570.9 million and $485.6 million, respectively, were pledged to secure FHLBB advances, public deposits, and securities sold under agreements to repurchase, and for other purposes required or permitted by law.
