Actual maturities of MBS are affected by the contractual lives of the underlying mortgage collateral, periodic payments of principal, prepayments of principal, and the payment priority structure of the security; therefore, actual maturities are generally shorter than the securities' stated contractual maturities.

The following table presents certain information for the AFS securities in an unrealized loss position as of the dates indicated:
| September 30, 2018 |  | December 31, 2017
| Fair Value |  | Gross Unrealized Losses |  | # of Securities |  | Fair Value |  | Gross Unrealized Losses |  | # of Securities
Continuous unrealized loss position for less than 12 months: |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Agency MBS | $ | 1,540,220 |  |  | $ | (29,765 | ) |  | 91 |  | $ | 1,293,798 |  |  | $ | (9,769 | ) |  | 71
Non-Agency MBS | 79,326 |  |  | (447 | ) |  | 23 |  | 51,406 |  |  | (421 | ) |  | 11
U.S. Treasuries | — |  |  | — |  |  | 0 |  | 146,530 |  |  | (1,737 | ) |  | 1
Continuous unrealized loss position for 12 months or longer: |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Agency MBS | $ | 1,064,620 |  |  | $ | (62,929 | ) |  | 58 |  | $ | 423,698 |  |  | $ | (14,035 | ) |  | 30
Non-Agency MBS | 31,282 |  |  | (533 | ) |  | 13 |  | 20,414 |  |  | (323 | ) |  | 12
Because the principal related to Agency MBS is guaranteed by the government-sponsored entities Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac which have the implicit guarantee of the U.S. government, the Company does not consider any of the unrealized losses on its Agency MBS to be credit related. Although the unrealized losses are not credit related, the Company assesses its ability and intent to hold any Agency MBS with an unrealized loss until the recovery in its value in accordance with GAAP. This assessment is based on the amount of the unrealized loss and significance of the related investment as well as the Company’s leverage and liquidity position. Based on this analysis, the Company has determined that the unrealized losses on its Agency MBS as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 were temporary. The Company reviews any non-Agency MBS in an unrealized loss position to evaluate whether any decline in fair value represents an OTTI. The evaluation includes a review of the credit ratings of the non-Agency MBS, the credit characteristics of the mortgage loans collateralizing these securities, and the estimated future cash flows including projected collateral losses. The Company performed this evaluation for its non-Agency MBS in an unrealized loss position and has determined that there have not been any adverse changes in the timing or amount of estimated future cash flows that necessitate a recognition of OTTI amounts as of September 30, 2018 or December 31, 2017.
