(1)Accrued interest receivable totaled $36.4 million at June 30, 2020 and was included within other assets on the consolidated balance sheet.

The Company has elected to measure equity securities with no readily determinable fair value at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes for the identical or similar investment of the same issuer. This portfolio includes the Company's holdings of Visa Class B shares, which have a carrying value of zero, as there have not been observable price changes in orderly transactions for identical or similar investments of the same issuer. During the period, the Company did not record any impairment or other adjustments to the carrying amount of these equity securities without a readily determinable fair value.
Other investment securities include Federal Reserve Bank (FRB) stock, Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) stock, and investments in portfolio concerns held by the Company's private equity subsidiaries. FRB stock and FHLB stock are held for debt and regulatory purposes. Investment in FRB stock is based on the capital structure of the investing bank, and investment in FHLB stock is tied to the level of borrowings from the FHLB. These holdings are carried at cost. The private equity investments, in the absence of readily ascertainable market values, are carried at estimated fair value.
The majority of the Company’s investment portfolio is comprised of available for sale debt securities, which are carried at fair value with changes in fair value reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI). A summary of the available for sale debt securities by maturity groupings as of June 30, 2020 is shown below. The investment portfolio includes agency mortgage-backed securities, which are guaranteed by agencies such as the FHLMC, FNMA, and GNMA, in addition to non-agency mortgage-backed securities, which have no guarantee but are collateralized by commercial and residential mortgages. Also included are certain other asset-backed securities, which are primarily collateralized by credit cards, automobiles, student
loans, and commercial loans. These securities differ from traditional debt securities primarily in that they may have uncertain maturity dates and are priced based on estimated prepayment rates on the underlying collateral.

Investments in U.S. government and federal agency obligations include U.S. Treasury inflation-protected securities, which totaled $419.9 million, at fair value, at June 30, 2020. Interest paid on these securities increases with inflation and decreases with deflation, as measured by the Consumer Price Index.

Allowance for credit losses on available for sale debt securities
As described in Note 1, the Company adopted ASU 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, on January 1, 2020. The adoption of ASU 2016-13 had no impact to the Company's available for sale securities reported in its consolidated financial statements at January 1, 2020. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company did not recognize a credit loss expense on any available for sale debt securities.

The Company’s impairment policy requires a review of all securities for which fair value is less than amortized cost. Special emphasis is placed on securities whose credit rating has fallen below Baa3 (Moody's) or BBB- (Standard & Poor's), whose fair values have fallen more than 20% below purchase price, or who have been identified based on management’s judgment. These securities are placed on a watch list and cash flow analyses are prepared on an individual security basis. Inputs to these models include factors such as cash flow projections, contractual payments required, delinquency rates, credit support from other tranches, prepayment speeds, collateral loss severity rates (including loan to values), and various other information related to the underlying collateral. Stress tests are performed at varying levels of delinquency rates, prepayment speeds and loss severities in order to gauge probable ranges of credit loss. At June 30, 2020, the fair value of securities on this watch list was $52.1 million compared to $51.6 million at December 31, 2019.
The Company's model for establishing its allowance for credit losses uses cash flows projected to be received over the estimated life of the securities, discounted to present value, and compared to the current amortized cost bases of the securities. As of June 30, 2020, the Company did not identify any securities for which a credit loss exists. Significant inputs to the cash flow models used at June 30, 2020 to quantify credit losses included the following:

Significant InputsRange
Prepayment CPR0%-25%
Projected cumulative default14%-54%
Credit support0%-19%
Loss severity6%-63%

The table below summarizes debt securities available for sale in an unrealized loss position for which an allowance for credit losses has not been recorded at June 30, 2020. Unrealized losses on these available for sale securities have not been recognized into income because the issuers' bonds are of investment grade quality (rated Baa3, BBB- or higher), their fair values have not fallen more than 20% below purchase price, and they have not been identified by management as a security needing a more detailed review. Additionally, management does not intend to sell the securities, and it is likely that management will not be required to sell the securities prior to their anticipated recovery. The cash flow analyses prepared for securities included on the watch list discussed above did not identify any instances where the present value of expected cash flows were less than the amortized cost basis of the security.

The following table summarizes debt securities available for sale in an unrealized loss position for which an allowance for credit losses has not been recorded at June 30, 2020, aggregated by major security type and length of impairment period.

At June 30, 2020, securities totaling $4.6 billion in fair value were pledged to secure public fund deposits, securities sold under agreements to repurchase, trust funds, and borrowings at the FRB and FHLB. Securities pledged under agreements pursuant to which the collateral may be sold or re-pledged by the secured parties approximated $205.6 million, while the remaining securities were pledged under agreements pursuant to which the secured parties may not sell or re-pledge the collateral. Except for obligations of various government-sponsored enterprises such as FNMA, FHLB and FHLMC, no investment in a single issuer exceeded 10% of stockholders’ equity.
