The following table lists contractual maturities of investment securities classified as available for sale and held to maturity as of March 31, 2024. Mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities are not shown by maturity because expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities due to underlying loan prepayments of the issuer. Expected maturities will differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

For available for sale securities, the Company assesses whether a loss is from credit or other factors and considers the extent to which fair value is less than amortized cost, adverse changes to the rating of the security by a rating agency, a security's market yield as compared to similar securities and adverse conditions related to the security, among other factors. If this assessment indicates that a credit loss exists, the present value of cash flows expected to be collected from the security are compared to the amortized cost basis of the security. If the present value of cash flows is less than the amortized cost, a credit loss exists and an allowance is created, limited by the amount that the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis. In the first quarter of 2023, the Company recorded a provision and a subsequent charge-off of $6.6 million in subordinated debt securities of Signature Bank, which failed in March 2023. In the first quarter of 2024, the Company recorded a $2.9 million recovery on the subordinated debt securities of Signature Bank.
For held to maturity securities, management measures expected credit losses on a collective basis by major security type. All of the mortgage-backed securities are issued by U.S. government agencies and are either explicitly or implicitly guaranteed by the U.S. government, are highly rated by major rating agencies and have a long history of no credit losses and, therefore, the expectation of non-payment is zero. A range of historical losses method is utilized in estimating the net amount expected to be collected for mortgage-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations and obligations of states and political subdivisions.
The gross unrealized losses reported for residential mortgage-backed securities relate to investment securities issued by U.S. government sponsored entities such as Federal National Mortgage Association and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation and U.S. government agencies such as Government National Mortgage Association. The total gross unrealized losses, shown in the tables above, were primarily attributable to changes in interest rates and levels of market liquidity, relative to when the investment securities were purchased, and not due to the credit quality of the investment securities.
Credit Quality Indicators
Credit ratings, which are updated monthly, are a key measure for estimating the probability of a bond's default and for monitoring credit quality on an on-going basis. For bonds other than U.S. Treasuries and bonds issued or guaranteed by U.S. government agencies, credit ratings issued by one or more nationally recognized statistical rating organizations are considered in conjunction with an assessment by the Company's management. Investment grade reflects a credit quality of BBB or above.

Equity securities at fair value
The Company has an equity securities portfolio, which primarily consists of investments in Community Reinvestment funds. The fair value of the equity portfolio was $17.6 million and $17.7 million at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, there were no sales of equity securities or Community Reinvestment funds. The Company recorded fair value losses on equity securities of $129,000 for the first quarter of 2024 and fair value gains of $148,000 for the first quarter of 2023. Fair value gain or loss on equity securities are recorded in noninterest income.
As of March 31, 2024, the Company's investments in Community Reinvestment funds include $7.8 million that are primarily invested in community development loans that are guaranteed by the Small Business Administration (“SBA”). Because the funds are primarily guaranteed by the federal government, there are minimal changes in fair value between accounting periods. These funds can be redeemed with 60 days' notice at the net asset value less unpaid management fees with the approval of the fund manager. As of March 31, 2024, the net amortized cost equaled the fair value of the investment. There are no unfunded commitments related to these investments.
The Community Reinvestment funds also included $9.8 million of investment in government guaranteed loans, mortgage-backed securities, small business loans and other instruments supporting affordable housing and economic development as of March 31, 2024. The Company may redeem these funds at the net asset value calculated at the end of the current business day less any unpaid management fees. There are no restrictions on redemptions for the holdings in these investments other than the notice required by the fund manager. There are no unfunded commitments related to these investments.
