Certain investments in marketable debt securities and MBS issued by FNMA and FHLMC exceeded 10% of shareholders’ equity at December 31, 2017. The FNMA investments had total amortized cost and fair value of $14.7 billion and $14.4 billion, respectively. The FHLMC investments had total amortized cost and fair value of $10.2 billion and $10.0 billion, respectively.

The change in credit losses on securities with OTTI where a portion of the unrealized loss was recognized in OCI was immaterial for all periods presented.

The amortized cost and estimated fair value of the securities portfolio by contractual maturity are shown in the following table. The expected life of MBS may differ from contractual maturities because borrowers have the right to prepay the underlying mortgage loans with or without prepayment penalties.

Periodic reviews are conducted to identify and evaluate each investment with an unrealized loss for OTTI. An unrealized loss exists when the current fair value of an individual security is less than its amortized cost basis. Unrealized losses that are determined to be temporary in nature are recorded, net of tax, in AOCI for AFS securities. The unrealized losses on U.S. Treasury securities, GSE securities and agency MBS were the result of increases in market interest rates compared to the date the securities were acquired rather than the credit quality of the issuers.

Cash flow modeling is used to evaluate non-agency MBS in an unrealized loss position for potential credit impairment. These models give consideration to long-term macroeconomic factors applied to current security default rates, prepayment rates and recovery rates and security-level performance. At December 31, 2017, there were no non-agency MBS with other than temporary credit impairment.

At December 31, 2017, the majority of the unrealized loss on municipal securities was the result of fair value hedge basis adjustments that are a component of amortized cost. Municipal securities in an unrealized loss position are evaluated for credit impairment through a qualitative analysis of issuer performance and the primary source of repayment. At December 31, 2017, the evaluation of municipal securities did not indicate any municipal securities with other than temporary credit impairment.
