The amortized cost and fair value of Oriental’s investment securities at December 31, 2018, by contractual maturity, are shown in the next table. Securities not due on a single contractual maturity date, such as collateralized mortgage obligations, are classified in the period of final contractual maturity. Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities because issuers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

Oriental performs valuations of the investment securities on a monthly basis. Moreover, Oriental conducts quarterly reviews to identify and evaluate each investment in an unrealized loss position for other-than-temporary impairment. Any portion of a decline in value associated with credit loss is recognized in the statements of operations with the remaining noncredit-related component recognized in other comprehensive income (loss). A credit loss is determined by assessing whether the amortized cost basis of the security will be recovered by comparing the present value of cash flows expected to be collected from the security, discounted at the rate equal to the yield used to accrete current and prospective beneficial interest for the security. The shortfall of the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected in relation to the amortized cost basis is considered to be the “credit loss.” Other-than-temporary impairment analysis is based on estimates that depend on market conditions and are subject to further change over time. In addition, while Oriental believes that the methodology used to value these exposures is reasonable, the methodology is subject to continuing improvement, including those made as a result of market developments. Consequently, it is reasonably possible that changes in estimates or conditions could result in the need to recognize additional other-than-temporary impairment charges in the future.

All of the investments ($1.1 billion, amortized cost) with an unrealized loss position at December 31, 2018 consist of securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury or U.S. government-sponsored agencies, all of which are highly liquid securities that have a large and efficient secondary market. Their aggregate losses and their variability from period to period are the result of changes in market conditions, and not due to the repayment capacity or creditworthiness of the issuers or guarantors of such securities.

The following table presents a rollforward of credit-related impairment losses recognized in earnings for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016 on available-for-sale securities:
