______________________

(1) As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, all of our certificates of deposits were domestic deposits.

As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, total unrealized losses of our marketable securities were immaterial. We invest in marketable securities that have maximum maturities of up to two years and are generally deemed to be low risk based on their credit ratings from the major rating agencies. The longer the duration of these marketable securities, the more susceptible they are to changes in market interest rates and bond yields. We expect to realize the full value of these investments upon maturity or sale and therefore, we do not consider any of our marketable securities to be impaired as of March 31, 2021. We did not recognize any credit losses or non-credit-related impairments related to our available-for-sale marketable securities for the quarter ended March 31, 2021.

As of March 31, 2021, the contractual maturities of our investments did not exceed 24 months. The fair values of available-for-sale marketable securities, by remaining contractual maturity, are as follows (in thousands):


	March 31, 2021
Due in 1 year or less	$	1,246,986
Due in 1 to 2 years	937,344
Total marketable securities	$	2,184,330

The weighted-average remaining duration of our current marketable securities is approximately 0.9 years as of March 31, 2021.
