At December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company held $35 million and $25 million, respectively, of trading securities consisting of U.S. Treasury notes used as economic hedges of our single family mortgage servicing rights, which are carried at fair value and included with investment securities on the balance sheet. For 2024 and 2023, net losses of $1.7 million and $0.5 million on trading securities, respectively, were recorded in servicing income.

MBS and CMOs represent securities issued or guaranteed by government sponsored enterprises ("GSEs"). Most of the MBS and CMO securities in our investment portfolio are guaranteed by Fannie Mae, Ginnie Mae or Freddie Mac. Municipal bonds are comprised of general obligation bonds (i.e., backed by the general credit of the issuer) and revenue bonds (i.e., backed by
either collateral or revenues from the specific project being financed) issued by various municipal organizations. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, substantially all securities held, including municipal bonds and corporate debt securities, were rated investment grade based upon nationally recognized statistical rating organizations where available and, where not available, based upon internal ratings.

Investment securities AFS that were in an unrealized loss position are presented in the following tables based on the length of time the individual securities have been in an unrealized loss position:

The Company has evaluated AFS securities in an unrealized loss position and has determined that the decline in value is temporary and is related to the change in market interest rates since purchase. The decline in value is not related to any issuer- or industry-specific credit event. The Company has not identified any expected credit losses on its debt securities as of December 31, 2024 and 2023. The Company bases this conclusion in part on its periodic review of the credit ratings of the AFS securities or reviews of the financial condition of the issuers. In addition, as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had
not made a decision to sell any of its debt securities held, nor did the Company consider it more likely than not that it would be required to sell such securities before recovery of their amortized cost basis.
The following tables present the fair value of investment securities AFS and HTM by contractual maturity along with the associated contractual yield.

The weighted-average yield is computed using the contractual coupon for each security weighted based on the fair value of each security. MBS and CMOs are excluded from the tables above because such securities are not due on a single maturity date. The weighted average yield of MBS and CMOs as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 was 3.01% and 3.21%, respectively.
