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 December 31, 2024 and 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 ACL.
Investment securities as of December 31, 2024, include $1.564 billion pledged to secure securities sold under agreements to repurchase, government deposits and regulatory collateral, of which $1.440 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, 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.
During 2023, OFG acquired a two-year $35.0 million private placement hospital revenue bond issued by AFICA, a public corporation and governmental instrumentality of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, to provide financing for a private entity. This bond is not marketable and therefore has no rating. It is included in “Other debt securities held to maturity” in the tables above.
At December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Bank’s IBEs, OIB and Oriental Overseas, each 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 These instruments cannot be withdrawn or transferred without the prior written approval of the Office of the Commissioner of Financial Institutions.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 2024, 2023 and 2022, OFG retained securitized GNMA pools totaling $74.7 million, $76.4 million and $112.4 million, respectively, at a yield of 4.87%, 5.33% and 3.90%, respectively, from its own originations. During 2023 and 2022, OFG retained FNMA pools totaling $17.2 million and $13.7 million at a yield of 5.37% and 4.97%, from its own originations. OFG did not retain FNMA pools during 2024.
During 2024 and 2023, OFG purchased $549.0 million and $300.0 million of short-term available for sale US Treasury securities. During 2022, OFG purchased $550.0 million of available for sale US Treasury securities and $200.0 million of held to maturity US Treasury securities. US Treasury securities are exempt of income taxes.
During 2024, 2023 and 2022, OFG sold $149.4 million, $203.3 million and $242.4 million, respectively, of AFS US Treasury securities and recognized $7 thousand, $1.1 million and $247 thousand, respectively, in losses on the sales. 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 market uncertainty tied to interest rates. 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.
