As of December 31, 2020, the Company had 104 AFS debt securities in a gross unrealized loss position with no credit impairment. The AFS debt securities that made up the gross unrealized loss as of December 31, 2020 were comprised primarily of 46 U.S. government agency and U.S. government-sponsored enterprise mortgage-backed securities, three CLOs, and 17 corporate debt securities. In comparison, as of December 31, 2019, the Company had 101 AFS debt securities in a gross unrealized loss position with no credit impairment. The AFS debt securities that made up the gross unrealized loss as of December 31, 2019 were comprised primarily of three CLOs, 57 U.S. government agency and U.S. government-sponsored enterprise mortgage-backed securities, and 14 U.S. government agency and U.S. government-sponsored enterprise debt securities.

Allowance for Credit Losses

Each reporting period, the Company assesses each AFS debt security that is in an unrealized loss position to determine whether the decline in fair value below the amortized cost basis resulted from a credit loss or other factors. For a discussion of the factors and criteria the Company uses in analyzing securities for impairment related to credit losses, see Note 1 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies — Significant Accounting Policies — Allowance for Credit Losses on Available-for-Sale Debt Securities to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-K. Prior to January 1, 2020, the Company assessed individual securities that were in an unrealized loss position for OTTI.

The gross unrealized losses presented in the above tables were primarily attributable to yield curve movements and widened spreads. Securities that were in unrealized loss positions as of December 31, 2020 were mainly comprised of the following:
U.S. government agency and U.S. government-sponsored enterprise mortgage-backed securities — The market value decline as of December 31, 2020 was primarily due to interest rate movement. Since these securities are guaranteed or sponsored by agencies of the U.S. government, and the credit profiles are strong (rated Aaa, AA+ and AAA by Moody’s Investors Service (“Moody’s”), Standard & Poor's (“S&P”) and Fitch Ratings (“Fitch”), respectively), the Company expects to receive all contractual interest payments on time, and believes the risk of credit losses on these securities is remote.
CLOs — The market value decline as of December 31, 2020 was largely due to the widening in spreads. The credit profiles of the securities are strong (rated A or higher by S&P) and the contractual payments from these bonds are expected to be received on time. Accordingly, the Company believes that the risk of credit losses on these securities is remote.
Corporate debt securities — The market value decline as of December 31, 2020 was primarily due to interest rate movement and the widening in spreads. Since credit profiles of the securities are strong (rated BBB- or higher by Moody’s, S&P, Kroll Bond Rating Agency and Fitch, respectively), and the contractual payments from these bonds are expected to be received on time, the Company believes that the risk of credit losses on these securities is remote.

Overall, the Company believes that the credit support levels of the AFS debt securities are strong and, based on current assessments and macroeconomic forecasts, expects that full contractual cash flows will be received even if near-term credit performance could possibly be under the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

As of December 31, 2020, the Company had the intent to hold the AFS debt securities with unrealized losses through the anticipated recovery period and it was more-likely-than-not that the Company will not have to sell these securities before recovery of their amortized cost. The issuers of these securities have not, to the Company’s knowledge, established any cause for default on these securities. As a result, the Company expects to recover the entire amortized cost basis of these securities. Accordingly, there was no allowance for credit losses as of December 31, 2020 against these securities, and there was no provision for credit losses recognized for the year ended December 31, 2020. For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, there was no OTTI credit loss recognized.
