At December 31, 2020, there were 52 securities with unrealized losses. Unrealized losses on U.S Government and agency, municipal debt and corporate debt securities, are primarily related to increases in credit spreads since the securities were purchased. Unrealized losses on other debt securities (agency-backed and certain private-label mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligation securities) are not considered other-than-temporary based upon analysis completed by management considering credit rating of the instrument, length of time each security has spent in an unrealized loss position and the strength of the underlying collateral.

At December 31, 2020, management reviewed all private-label mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations, included in other debt securities, which were rated less than investment grade for impairment, resulting in no additional impairment charges during the three or six months ended December 31, 2020. At December 31, 2020, 55 securities with an amortized cost of $0.4 million and remaining par value of $1.7 million were evaluated.
