The U.S. government and agencies securities, government-sponsored entities securities and mortgage-backed securities in the table above as of March 31, 2015 had Standard and Poor’s credit ratings of AA+. The municipal bonds in the table above had Moody’s credit ratings of at least Aa2. The other securities consisted of equity securities.
As of March 31, 2015, the amount of investment securities in an unrealized loss position greater than 12 months, as well as in total, was primarily due to movements in interest rates. The Company has no intent to sell any securities in an unrealized loss position as of March 31, 2015 and it is not more likely than not that the Company would be forced to sell any of these securities prior to the full recovery of all unrealized loss amounts.
Cost method investments, which are included in other assets, can be temporarily impaired when the fair values decline below the amortized costs of the individual investments. There were no cost method investments with unrealized losses as of March 31, 2015 or December 31, 2014. The Company’s cost method investments primarily include low income housing partnerships which generate tax credits. The Company also holds partnership interests in venture capital funds formed to provide financing to small businesses and to promote community development. The Company had $25.6 million and $27.0 million in cost method investments included in other assets as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.
