(1)Actual maturities could differ from contractual maturities.
MBS may have expected maturities that differ from their contractual maturities. These differences arise because issuers may have the right to call securities and borrowers may have the right to prepay obligations with or without prepayment penalty. The estimated weighted average duration of MBS was 5.8 years at March 31, 2024.
The held-to-maturity debt securities are not collateral-dependent securities as these are general obligation bonds issued by cities, states, counties, or other local and foreign governments.
Investment securities with fair market values aggregating $3.0 billion and $3.3 billion were pledged as collateral for investment sweep repurchase agreements, municipal deposits, and other obligations as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had no sales of debt securities categorized as available-for-sale.
As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company's debt securities portfolio had remaining unamortized premiums of $54.7 million and $56.9 million, respectively, and unaccreted discounts of $20.3 million and $20.9 million, respectively.

The Company does not have the intent to sell, nor is it more likely than not it will be required to sell these securities before it is able to recover the amortized cost basis. The unrealized losses are the result of changes in market interest rates subsequent to purchase, not credit loss, as these are highly rated agency securities with no expected credit loss, in the event of a default. As a result, there is no allowance for credit losses recorded for available-for-sale debt securities as of March 31, 2024.
At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, held-to-maturity debt securities had an amortized cost basis of $1.0 billion. The held-to-maturity debt security portfolio primarily consists of mortgage-backed securities which were issued or guaranteed by U.S. government-sponsored entities and agencies and highly rated municipal bonds. The Company monitors credit quality of its non-government and non-agency securities through credit ratings. The following table summarizes the amortized cost of debt securities held-to-maturity as of March 31, 2024, aggregated by credit quality indicator:
