Equity Investment Securities

Our equity investment security is a U.S. dollar denominated investment in an open-ended mutual fund. Realized and unrealized gains and losses were immaterial for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019.

Held-to-Maturity Investment Securities

Our held-to-maturity investment securities consist of Indian rupee denominated investments primarily in commercial paper, international corporate bonds and government debt securities. Our investment guidelines are to purchase securities that are investment grade at the time of acquisition. The basis for the measurement of fair value of our held-to-maturity investments is Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
