Any unrealized losses in the U.S. treasuries and government agencies, state and municipal, mortgage-backed and asset-backed available-for-sale debt securities at June 30, 2024 are due to changes in interest rates and not credit-related events. As such, no allowance for credit losses is required at June 30, 2024. Unrealized losses on available-for-sale debt securities are expected to recover over time as these securities approach maturity. The Company does not intend to sell, nor is it more likely than not it will be required to sell, these securities and has sufficient liquidity to hold these securities for an adequate period of time, which may be maturity, to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.

All held-to-maturity investments are either issued by a direct governmental entity or a government-sponsored entity and have no historical evidence supporting expected credit losses. Therefore, the Company has estimated these losses at zero and will monitor this assumption in the future for any economic or governmental policies that could affect this assumption.

The available-for-sale and held-to-maturity mortgage-backed securities portfolio at June 30, 2024 is composed entirely of either the most senior tranches of GNMA, FNMA or FHLMC collateralized mortgage obligations ($459.5 million), GNMA, FNMA or FHLMC mortgage-backed securities ($552.4 million) or SBA asset-backed securities ($44.2 million).

Accrued interest receivable on investment securities totaled $5.4 million at both June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, and is excluded from the amortized cost and fair value of the securities.

The Company has allocated mortgage-backed securities into the four maturity groupings reflected in the following tables using the expected average life of the individual securities based on statistics provided by independent third-party industry sources. Expected maturities will differ from contractual maturities as borrowers may have the right to prepay obligations with or without prepayment penalties.

The estimated fair values and amortized costs of available-for-sale and held-to-maturity debt securities by contractual maturity are provided in the following tables:
