Mortgage backed securities include mortgage backed obligations of U.S. Government agencies and obligations of U.S. Government-sponsored enterprises. These obligations have contractual maturities ranging from less than one year to approximately 30 years and have an anticipated average life to maturity ranging from less than one year to approximately eight years. All mortgage backed securities contain a certain amount of risk related to the uncertainty of prepayments of the underlying mortgages. Interest rate changes have a direct impact upon prepayment speeds, therefore First Commonwealth uses computer simulation models to test the average life and yield volatility of all mortgage backed securities under various interest rate scenarios to monitor the potential effects on earnings and interest rate risk positions. During 2011, $5.2 million in single issue trust preferred securities and $1.2 million in corporate debentures owned by a non-bank subsidiary of First Commonwealth were sold in order to reinvest the proceeds in more liquid assets for that subsidiary. The amounts sold represent the subsidiaries entire portfolio of these investments and resulted in a net gain of $0.3 million. During the first half of 2011, $3.0 million in single issue trust preferred securities held by another subsidiary were called, resulting in a gain of $0.1 million. Additionally, during 2011 the Company continued its strategy to liquidate its obligations of states and political subdivisions in order to mitigate future credit risk and improve its tax position. Investments in obligations of states and political subdivisions totaled $0.5 million and $47.8 million as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. This decline is a result of $4.2 million in maturities and $42.5 million in sales which provided $0.3 million in recognized gains. As of December 31, 2011, all of the remaining investments in obligations of states and political subdivisions were classified as available for sale and none were in an unrealized loss position. Expected maturities will differ from contractual maturities because issuers may have the right to call or repay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties. Other fixed income securities within the portfolio also contain prepayment risk. The amortized cost and fair value of debt securities at December 31, 2011, by contractual maturity, are shown below:
|  | Amortized Cost |  |  | Estimated Fair Value |
