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.
The weighted average yield on debt securities available-for-sale is based on amortized cost and does not give effect to changes in fair value. Weighted average yields on tax-exempt obligations have been computed on a fully taxable equivalent basis.
At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, most securities held by OFG are issued by U.S. government entities and government-sponsored agencies that have a zero-credit loss assumption and, therefore, have no allowance for credit losses.
Investment securities at September 30, 2024 include $1.641 billion pledged to secure government deposits and regulatory collateral, of which $1.595 billion serve as collateral for public funds. For regulatory collateral, the secured parties are not permitted to sell or repledge them. Investment securities as of December 31, 2023 include $1.624 billion pledged to secure government deposits, derivatives, and regulatory collateral that the secured parties are not permitted to sell or repledge, of which $1.575 billion serve as collateral for public funds.
At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Bank’s international banking entities held short-term US Treasury securities in the amount of $525 thousand and $325 thousand, respectively, as the legal reserve required for international banking entities under Puerto Rico law. These instruments cannot be withdrawn or transferred without the prior written approval of the Office of the Commissioner of Financial Institutions.
During the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, OFG retained securitized GNMA pools totaling $55.7 million and $52.8 million, respectively, at a yield of 5.08% and 5.20%, respectively, from its own originations.
During the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2023, OFG retained FNMA pools totaling $17.2 million at a yield of 5.37%, from its own originations. OFG did not retain FNMA pools during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024
During the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, OFG sold $149.4 million and $203.3 million, respectively, of available for sale US Treasury securities and recognized a $7 thousand and $1.1 million, respectively, in losses on the sale. These losses are included in the consolidated statements of operations.

The unrealized losses on OFG’s investment in federal agency mortgage-backed securities were caused by market volatility related to the sharp interest rate increases in 2022 and 2023. During 2024, interest rates have decreased and are expected to continue to decrease through the end of the year. These decreases have reduced the unrealized losses of investments. OFG purchased those investments at a discount relative to their face amount, and the contractual cash flows of those investments are guaranteed by an agency of the U.S. government or by a government-sponsored enterprise. Accordingly, it is expected that the securities would not be settled at a price that is less than the amortized cost basis of OFG’s investments. OFG does not intend to sell the investments, and it is not more likely than not that OFG will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost basis.
