Investments, Debt and Equity Securities [Abstract]  
Investment Securities Investment Securities
Investment securities held by us are classified as either trading account assets, AFS, HTM or equity securities held at fair value at the time of purchase and reassessed periodically, based on management’s intent.
Generally, trading assets are debt and equity securities purchased in connection with our trading activities and, as such, are expected to be sold in the near term. Our trading activities typically involve active and frequent buying and selling with the objective of generating profits on short-term movements. AFS investment securities are those securities that we intend to hold for an indefinite period of time. AFS investment securities include securities utilized as part of our asset and liability management activities that may be sold in response to changes in interest rates, prepayment risk, liquidity needs or other factors. HTM securities are debt securities that management has the intent and the ability to hold to maturity.
Trading assets are carried at fair value. Both realized and unrealized gains and losses on trading assets are recorded in other fee revenue in our consolidated statement of income. AFS securities are carried at fair value, with any allowance for credit losses recorded through the consolidated statement of income and after-tax net unrealized gains and losses are recorded in AOCI. Gains or losses realized on sales of AFS investment securities are computed using the specific identification method and are recorded in gains (losses) related to investment securities, net, in our consolidated statement of income. HTM investment securities are carried at cost, adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts, with any allowance for credit losses recorded through the consolidated statement of income.
The following table presents the amortized cost, fair value and associated unrealized gains and losses of AFS and HTM investment securities as of the dates indicated:

(1) As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the fair value includes non-U.S. collateralized loan obligations of $0.86 billion and $0.83 billion, respectively.
(2) As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the fair value includes non-U.S. corporate bonds of $1.14 billion and $1.53 billion, respectively,
(3) Primarily comprised of securities guaranteed by the federal government with respect to at least 97% of defaulted principal and accrued interest on the underlying loans.
(4) Excludes collateralized loan obligations in loan form. Refer to Note 4 for additional information.
(5) Consists entirely of non-agency CMBS as of both December 31, 2022 and 2021.
(6) As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the fair value of U.S. corporate bonds was $1.01 billion and $2.44 billion, respectively.
(7) An immaterial amount of accrued interest related to HTM and AFS investment securities was excluded from the amortized cost basis for the period ended December 31, 2022.
(8) As of both December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, total amortized cost included an allowance for credit losses on AFS investment securities of $2 million.
(9) As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the total amortized cost included $133 million and $292 million, respectively, of non-agency CMBS and $9 million and $14 million of non-agency RMBS, respectively.
Aggregate investment securities with carrying values of approximately $70.52 billion and $80.81 billion as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, were designated as pledged for public and trust deposits, short-term borrowings and for other purposes as provided by law.
In 2022, $23.56 billion of investment securities previously classified as AFS were transferred to HTM. These transfers reflect our intent to hold these securities until their maturity. These securities were transferred at fair value, which included a net unrealized loss of $1.26 billion. Upon transfer of a debt security from AFS to HTM, the amortized cost is reset to fair value. Any net unrealized gain or loss at the date of transfer will remain in AOCI and be amortized into net interest income over the remaining life of the security (ranging from approximately 1 to 37
years). The amortization of amounts retained in AOCI will offset the effect on net interest income of the amortization of the premium or discount resulting from transferring securities at fair value.
In 2021 and 2020, $1.25 billion and $8.60 billion, respectively, of agency MBS, previously classified as AFS, were transferred to HTM. These transfers reflect our intent to hold these securities until their maturity. These securities were transferred at fair value, which included a net unrealized gain of $12 million and $120 million as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, which will remain in AOCI and be amortized into net interest income over the remaining life of the security (ranging from approximately 1 to 36 years). The amortization of amounts retained in AOCI will offset the effect on net interest income of the amortization of the premium or discount resulting from transferring securities at fair value.
In 2022, 2021 and 2020, proceeds from sales of AFS securities was approximately $4.59 billion, $12.82 billion and $2.65 billion, respectively, primarily driven by MBS, ABS, municipal bonds and supranationals, resulting in a pre-tax loss of approximately $2 million in 2022, a pre-tax gain of approximately $57 million in 2021 and a pre-tax loss less than $4 million in 2020.
The following tables present the aggregate fair values of AFS investment securities that have been in a continuous unrealized loss position for less than 12 months, and those that have been in a continuous unrealized loss position for 12 months or longer, as of the dates indicated:

Interest income related to debt securities is recognized in our consolidated statement of income using the effective interest method, or on a basis approximating a level rate of return over the contractual or estimated life of the security. The level rate of return considers any non-refundable fees or costs, as well as purchase premiums or discounts, adjusted as prepayments occur, resulting in amortization or accretion, accordingly.
Allowance for Credit Losses on Debt Securities and Impairment of AFS Securities
An allowance for credit losses is recognized on HTM securities upon acquisition of the security, and on AFS securities when the fair value and expected future cash flows of the investment securities are less than their amortized cost basis. Our assessment of impairment involves an evaluation of economic and security-specific factors. Such factors are based on estimates, derived by management, which contemplate current market conditions and security-specific performance. To the extent that market conditions are worse than management's expectations or due to idiosyncratic bond performance, the credit-related component of impairment, in particular, could increase and would be recorded in the provision for credit losses.
We conduct quarterly reviews of HTM and AFS securities on a collective (pool) basis when similar risk characteristics exist to determine whether an allowance for credit losses should be recognized. HTM securities are evaluated for expected credit loss utilizing a probability of default methodology, or discounted cash flows assessed against the amortized cost of the investment security excluding accrued interest.
We monitor the credit quality of the HTM investment securities using a variety of methods, including both external and internal credit ratings.
With respect to certain classes of debt securities, primarily U.S. Treasuries and agency securities (mainly issued by U.S. Government entities and agencies, as well as Group of Seven sovereigns), we consider the history of credit losses, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts, which may indicate that the expectation that nonpayment of the amortized cost basis is or continues to be zero. Therefore, for those securities, we do not record expected credit losses.
We did not have any allowance for credit losses on our HTM securities as of both December 31, 2022 and 2021.
We have elected to not record an allowance on accrued interest for HTM securities. Accrued interest on these securities is reversed against interest income when payment on a security is delinquent for greater than 90 days from the date of payment.
An AFS security is impaired when the current fair value of an individual security is below its amortized cost basis. An allowance for credit losses on impaired AFS securities is recorded when the present value of expected future cash flows of the investment security is less than its amortized cost basis, limited to the amount by which the security’s amortized cost basis exceeds the fair value. Investment securities will be written down to fair value
through the consolidated statement of income when management intends to sell (or may be required to sell) the securities before they recover in value.
Our review of impaired AFS investment securities generally includes:
the identification and evaluation of securities that have indications of potential impairment, such as issuer-specific concerns, including deteriorating financial condition or bankruptcy;
the analysis of expected future cash flows of securities, based on quantitative and qualitative factors;
the analysis of the collectability of those future cash flows, including information about past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts;
the analysis of the underlying collateral for MBS and ABS;
the analysis of individual impaired securities, including the anticipated recovery period and the magnitude of the overall price decline;
evaluation of factors or triggers that could cause individual securities to be deemed impaired and those that would not support impairment; and
documentation of the results of these analyses.
Our allowance for credit losses on our AFS securities was approximately $2 million as of both December 31, 2022 and 2021.
Substantially all of our investment securities portfolio is composed of debt securities. A critical component of our assessment of impairment of these debt securities is the identification of credit-impaired securities for which management does not expect to receive cash flows sufficient to recover the entire amortized cost basis of the security.
Debt securities that are not deemed to be credit impaired are subject to additional management analysis to assess whether management intends to sell, or, more likely than not, would be required to sell, the security before the expected recovery of its amortized cost basis.
As of December 31, 2022, 99% of our HTM and AFS investment portfolio is publicly rated investment grade.
After a review of the investment portfolio, taking into consideration then-current economic conditions, adverse situations that might affect our ability to fully collect principal and interest, the timing of future payments, the credit quality and performance of the collateral underlying MBS and ABS and other relevant factors, management considered the aggregate decline in fair value of the investment securities portfolio and the resulting gross pre-tax unrealized
losses of $8,102 million and $1,046 million related to 2,094 and 954 securities as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, to be temporary, and not the result of any material changes in the credit characteristics of the securities.
