For the securities in the previous table, the Company does not have the intent to sell and has determined it is
 
not more likely
than not that the Company will be required to sell the securities before recovery
 
of the amortized cost basis, which may be
maturity.
 
On a quarterly basis, the Company assesses each security for credit impairment.
 
For debt securities, the Company
evaluates, where necessary,
 
whether credit impairment exists by comparing the present value of the expected cash
 
flows to
the securities’ amortized cost basis.
In determining whether a loss is temporary,
 
the Company considers all relevant information including:
the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than the amortized
 
cost basis;
adverse conditions specifically related to the security,
 
an industry, or a geographic area
 
(for example, changes in
the financial condition of the issuer of the security,
 
or in the case of an asset-backed debt security,
 
in the financial
condition of the underlying loan obligors, including changes in technology or the discontinuance of
 
a segment of
the business that may affect the future earnings potential of the issuer or
 
underlying loan obligors of the security or
changes in the quality of the credit enhancement);
the historical and implied volatility of the fair value of the security;
the payment structure of the debt security and the likelihood of the issuer being able to make payments
 
that
increase in the future;
failure of the issuer of the security to make scheduled interest or principal payments;
any changes to the rating of the security by a rating agency; and
recoveries or additional declines in fair value subsequent to the balance sheet date.
Agency obligations
The unrealized losses associated with agency obligations were primarily driven by declines
 
in interest rates and not due to
the credit quality of the securities. These securities were issued by U.S. government agencies
 
or government-sponsored
entities and did not have any credit losses given the explicit government guarantee
 
or other government support.
 
Agency mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”)
The unrealized losses associated with agency MBS were primarily driven by changes
 
in interest rates and not due to the
credit quality of the securities. These securities were issued by U.S. government agencies
 
or government-sponsored entities
and did not have any credit losses given the explicit government guarantee or other
 
government support.
 
Securities of U.S. states and political subdivisions
The unrealized losses associated with securities of U.S. states and political subdivisions
 
were primarily driven by declines
in interest rates and were not due to the credit quality of the securities. Some of these securities
 
are guaranteed by a bond
insurer, but management did not rely on the guarantee
 
in making its investment decision.
 
These securities will continue to
be monitored as part of the Company’s quarterly
 
impairment analysis, but are expected to perform even if the rating
agencies reduce the credit rating of the bond insurers. As a result, the Company expects to recover
 
the entire amortized cost
basis of these securities.
The carrying values of the Company’s investment
 
securities could decline in the future if the financial condition of an
issuer deteriorates and the Company determines it is probable that it will not recover the entire
 
amortized cost basis for the
security. As a result, there is a risk that other-than-temporary
 
impairment charges may occur in the future.
Other-Than-Temporarily
 
Impaired Securities
Credit-impaired debt securities are debt securities where the Company
 
has written down the amortized cost basis of a
security for other-than-temporary impairment and the credit
 
component of the loss is recognized in earnings. At September
30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had no credit-impaired debt
 
securities and there were no additions or
reductions in the credit loss component of credit-impaired debt securities during the quarters
 
ended September 30, 2021 and
2020, respectively.
