The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 as of January 1, 2020. Under ASU 2016-13, the Company is required to assess
the investment portfolio for credit impairment. The Company considers the Investment securities held-to-maturity portfolio to meet the "zero loss" expectation requirements. All Investment securities held-to-maturity owned by the Company are AAA rated mortgage-backed securities that are backed by the guarantees of the U.S. government, U.S. government agencies or government-sponsored entities. The Company has experienced zero losses for these securities. In addition, as of December 31, 2020, no Investment securities held-to-maturity securities were past due. Therefore, no credit allowance was recorded on the Investment securities held-to-maturity investment portfolio. The Company evaluated the Investment securities available-for-
sale on a security by security basis and identified no security with impairment. Therefore, no credit allowance was booked on the Investment securities available-for-sale investment portfolio. See Part II. Item 8. “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements - Note 1: Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” for additional information on ASU 2016-13.
The following tables present the maturities of Investment securities available-for-sale, based on contractual maturity, and the weighted average yields of such securities as of December 31, 2020. Certain securities are callable before their final maturity. Additionally, certain securities (such as Mortgage-backed securities) are shown within the table below based on their final (contractual) maturity, but due to prepayments and curtailments are expected to have shorter lives.

As of December 31, 2020, the Mortgage-backed securities in the first table above had current Standard and Poor's credit rating of AAA and the municipal bonds in the first table above had a current Standard and Poor’s credit rating of at least AA+. At December 31, 2020, the Company determined that the unrealized losses on investments, since their purchase, is primarily attributed to changes in interest rates and not as a result of the deterioration of credit quality.
At December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the amount of investment securities in an unrealized loss position greater than 12 months, as well as in total, was primarily due to changes in interest rates and not due to credit quality. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had no intent to sell any securities in an unrealized loss position, 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. Subsequent to December 31, 2020 and through the date of the filing of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, no securities were downgraded to below investment grade, nor were any securities in an unrealized loss position sold.

Cost Method Investments
The Company invests in low-income housing tax credits, which are included in Other assets, to encourage private capital investment in the construction and rehabilitation of low-income housing. The Company makes these investments through an indirect subsidy that allows investors, such as the Company, in a flow-through limited liability entity, such as limited partnerships or limited liability companies that manage or invest in qualified affordable housing projects, to receive the benefits of the tax credits allocated to the entity that owns the qualified affordable housing project. The Company also holds partnership interests in small business investment companies formed to provide financing to small businesses and to promote community development.
The Company amortizes its investment in the low income housing tax credits using the proportional amortization method. Under the proportional amortization method, the Company amortizes the cost of its investment, in proportion to the tax credits and other tax benefits it receives to Income tax expense. Included in Income tax expense was amortization of $4.9 million, $4.3 million, and $3.0 million for the years ending December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Also included in Income tax expense were the related tax benefits of $5.0 million, $4.1 million and $2.9 million for the years ending December 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018, respectively.
The Company had $75.7 million and $65.5 million in cost method investments included in Other assets as of December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. In addition, the Company had $35.4 million and $27.8 million in
unadvanced funds related to commitments, included in Other liabilities, in these investments as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
Under the proportional amortization method, an investment must be tested for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the carrying amount of the investment will not be realized. There was no indication of impairment for the years ending December 31, 2020 and 2019.
