Available-for-Sale SecuritiesWe record AFS securities at fair value with unrealized gains and losses, recorded net of tax, as a component of “Other comprehensive income (loss)” and we recognize realized gains and losses from the sale of AFS securities in “Investment gains (losses), net” in our condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. We define the amortized cost basis of our AFS securities as unpaid principal balance, net of unamortized premiums and discounts, and other cost basis adjustments.
The following tables display the amortized cost, allowance for credit losses, gross unrealized gains and losses in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”), and fair value by major security type for AFS securities.

(2)Other agency securities consist of securities issued by Freddie Mac and Ginnie Mae.
(3)Prior to our adoption of the CECL standard, total amortized cost represented the unpaid principal balance, unamortized premiums, discounts and other cost basis adjustments, as well as temporary impairments recognized in “Investment gains, net” in our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.
Fannie Mae and Other Agency Securities
Our Fannie Mae and other agency AFS securities consist of securities issued by us, Freddie Mac, or Ginnie Mae. The principal and interest on these securities are guaranteed by the issuing agency. We believe that the guaranty provided by the issuing agency, the support provided to the agencies by the U.S. government, the importance of the agencies to the liquidity and stability in the secondary mortgage market, and the long history of zero credit losses on agency mortgage-related securities are all indicators that there are not currently credit losses on these securities, even if the security is in an unrealized loss position. In addition, we generally hold these securities that are in an unrealized loss position to recovery. As a result, unless we intend to sell the security, we do not recognize an allowance for credit losses on agency mortgage-related securities.
Non-Agency Mortgage-Related Securities
As of June 30, 2020, substantially all of our non-agency mortgage-related securities were in an unrealized gain position. As a result, we have not recognized an allowance for credit losses on these securities.
The following tables display additional information regarding gross unrealized losses and fair value by major security type for AFS securities in an unrealized loss position, excluding allowance for credit losses.

Prior to our adoption of the CECL standard on January 1, 2020, we evaluated AFS securities for other-than-temporary impairment. The balance of the unrealized credit-loss component of AFS securities held by us and recognized in our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income was $36 million as of December 31, 2019.
Maturity Information
The following table displays the amortized cost and fair value of our AFS securities by major security type and remaining contractual maturity, assuming no principal prepayments. The contractual maturity of mortgage-backed securities is not a reliable indicator of their expected life because borrowers generally have the right to prepay their obligations at any time.
