From time to time, we transfer securities from AFS to HTM due to overall balance sheet strategies. We transferred securities from AFS to HTM with an estimated fair value of $1.25 billion during the year ended December 31, 2022. There were no securities transferred from AFS to HTM during the year ended December 31, 2021. The remaining net unamortized, unrealized loss on the transferred securities included in AOCI in the accompanying balance sheets totaled $121.5 million ($96.0 million, net of tax) at December 31, 2022 and $1.5 million ($1.2 million, net of tax) at December 31, 2021. Any net unrealized gain or loss on the transferred securities included in AOCI at the time of transfer will be amortized over the remaining life of the underlying security as an adjustment to the yield on those securities. Securities transferred with losses included in AOCI continue to be included in management’s assessment for impairment for each individual security. We transferred these securities due to overall balance sheet strategies, and our management has the current intent and ability to hold these securities until maturity.
Investment securities and MBS with carrying values of $1.82 billion and $1.61 billion were pledged as of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, to collateralize FHLB borrowings, borrowings from the FRDW, repurchase agreements and public fund deposits, for potential liquidity needs or other purposes as required by law.
The following tables present the fair value and unrealized losses on AFS and HTM investment securities and MBS, if applicable, for which an allowance for credit losses has not been recorded as of December 31, 2022 or 2021, segregated by major security type and length of time in a continuous loss position (in thousands):

For those AFS debt securities in an unrealized loss position where management (i) has the intent to sell or (ii) where it will more-likely-than-not be required to sell the security before the recovery of its amortized cost basis, we recognize the loss in earnings. For those AFS debt securities in an unrealized loss position that do not meet either of these criteria, management assesses whether the decline in fair value has resulted from credit-related factors, using both qualitative and quantitative criteria. Determining the allowance under the credit loss method requires the use of a discounted cash flow method to assess the credit losses. Any credit-related impairment will be recognized in allowance for credit losses on the balance sheet with a corresponding adjustment to earnings. Noncredit-related temporary impairment, the portion of the impairment relating to factors other than credit (such as changes in market interest rates), is recognized in other comprehensive income, net of tax.
As of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we did not have an allowance for credit losses on our AFS securities, based on our consideration of the qualitative factors associated with each security type in our AFS portfolio. The unrealized losses on our investment and MBS are due to changes in interest rates and spreads and other market conditions. At December 31, 2022, we had 687 AFS debt securities in an unrealized loss position. Our state and political subdivisions are highly rated municipal securities with a long history of no credit losses. Our AFS MBS are highly rated securities which are either explicitly or implicitly backed by the U.S. Government through its agencies which are highly rated by major ratings agencies and also have a long history of no credit losses. Our corporate bonds and other investment securities consist of investment grade bonds and private placement bonds.
We assess the likelihood of default and the potential amount of default when assessing our HTM securities for credit losses. We utilize term structures and, due to no prior loss exposure on our state and political subdivision securities or our corporate securities, we currently apply a third-party average loss given default rate to model these securities. We elected to use the specific identification method to model our HTM securities which aligns with our third-party fair value measurement process. The model determined any expected credit loss over the life of these securities to be insignificant. Management further evaluated the remote expectation of loss along with the qualitative factors associated with these securities and concluded that, due to the securities being highly rated municipals and investment grade corporates and private placement bonds with a long history of no credit losses, no credit loss should be recognized for these securities for the years ended December 31, 2022 or 2021.
The accrued interest receivable on our debt securities is excluded from the credit loss estimate and is included in interest receivable on our consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2022, accrued interest receivable on AFS and HTM debt securities totaled $16.9 million and $13.6 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2021, accrued interest receivable on AFS and HTM debt securities totaled $25.6 million and $244,000, respectively. No HTM debt securities were past-due or on nonaccrual status as of December 31, 2022 or 2021.

There was a $3.8 million net realized loss from the AFS securities portfolio for the year ended December 31, 2022, which consisted of $4.4 million in realized losses and $584,000 in realized gains.  There was a $3.9 million net realized gain from the AFS securities portfolio for the year ended December 31, 2021, which consisted of $4.1 million in realized gains and $218,000 in realized losses. There was a $8.3 million net realized gain from the AFS securities portfolio for the year ended December 31, 2020, which consisted of $8.4 million in realized gains and $129,000 in realized losses. There were no sales from the HTM portfolio during the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 or 2020.  We calculate realized gains and losses on sales of securities under the specific identification method.
Expected maturities on our securities may differ from contractual maturities because issuers may have the right to call or prepay obligations.  MBS are presented in total by category since MBS are typically issued with stated principal amounts and are backed by pools of mortgages that have loans with varying maturities.  The characteristics of the underlying pool of mortgages, such as fixed-rate or adjustable-rate, as well as prepayment risk, are passed on to the security holder.  The term of a mortgage-backed pass-through security thus approximates the term of the underlying mortgages and can vary significantly due to prepayments.

Equity Investments
Equity investments on our consolidated balance sheets include CRA funds with a readily determinable fair value as well as equity investments without readily determinable fair values. At December 31, 2022 and 2021, we had equity investments recorded in our consolidated balance sheets of $11.2 million and $11.8 million, respectively.
Any realized and unrealized gains and losses on equity investments are reported in income. Equity investments without readily determinable fair values are recorded at cost less impairment, if any.
The following is a summary of unrealized and realized gains and losses on equity investments recognized in other noninterest income in the consolidated statements of income during the periods presented (in thousands):

Unrealized gains (losses) recognized during the reporting period on equity investments still held at the reporting date$(685)$(174)$(427)

Equity investments are assessed quarterly for other-than-temporary impairment. Based upon that evaluation, management does not consider any of our equity investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at December 31, 2022.
FHLB Stock
Our FHLB stock, which has limited marketability, is carried at cost and is assessed quarterly for other-than-temporary impairment. Based upon evaluation by management at December 31, 2022, our FHLB stock was not impaired and thus was not considered to be other-than-temporarily impaired.
