Amortized cost and fair values of debt securities by contractual maturity | Table 5.2 compares the amortized cost and fair values of fixed income securities, by contractual maturity, as of December 31, 2020. Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities because certain borrowers have the right to call or prepay certain obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties. Because most mortgage and asset-backed securities provide for periodic payments throughout their lives, they are listed separately in the table.
