Investment Securities
NOTE 2—INVESTMENT SECURITIES
Our investment securities portfolio consists of the following: U.S. government-sponsored enterprise or agency (“Agency”) and non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities (“RMBS”), Agency commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”), U.S. Treasury securities and other securities. Agency securities include Government National Mortgage Association (“Ginnie Mae”) guaranteed securities, Federal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae”) and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“Freddie Mac”) issued securities. The carrying value of our investments in Agency and U.S. Treasury securities represented 96% of our total investment securities portfolio as of both December 31, 2020 and 2019.
In the first quarter of 2020, we adopted the CECL standard which resulted in an increase of the amortized cost basis and related allowance for credit losses of PCD securities classified as available for sale. The allowance for credit losses for these PCD securities is limited to the amount by which the amortized cost basis of the security exceeds its fair value. This limitation resulted in an increase of $11 million to our retained earnings with a corresponding decrease in AOCI at adoption. Our disclosures below reflect these adoption changes. Prior period presentation was not reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. See “Note 1—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” for additional information.
The table below presents the amortized cost, gross unrealized gains and losses, and fair value of securities available for sale as of December 31, 2020 and 2019. Accrued interest receivable of $230 million as of December 31, 2020 is not included in the below table.

Maturities and Yields of Investment Securities
The table below summarizes, by major security type, the contractual maturities and weighted-average yields of our investment securities as of December 31, 2020. Because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay certain obligations, the expected maturities of our securities are likely to differ from the scheduled contractual maturities presented below. The weighted-average yield below represents the effective yield for the investment securities and is calculated based on the amortized cost of each security.
