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. For additional
information on our accounting for investment securities, refer to page 136 in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements included under Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, in our 2024 Form 10-K.
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) from sales of available-for-sale 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:

The following table presents the amortized cost and the fair value of contractual maturities of debt investment securities as of June 30, 2025. The maturities of certain ABS, MBS and collateralized mortgage obligations are based on expected principal payments. Actual maturities may differ from these expected maturities since certain borrowers have the right to prepay obligations with or without prepayment penalties.

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
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. We review individual AFS securities periodically to assess if additional impairment is required. For additional information about the Current Expected Credit Loss methodology and the review of investment securities for expected credit losses or impairment, refer to pages 140 to 141 in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements included under Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, in our 2024 Form 10-K.
We monitor the credit quality of the HTM and AFS investment securities using a variety of methods, including both external and internal credit ratings. As of June 30, 2025, over 99% of our HTM and AFS investment portfolio is publicly rated investment grade.
As of both June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had no allowance for credit losses on HTM and AFS investment securities. In the second quarter of 2025, we recorded no provision for credit losses and no charge-offs on HTM and AFS investment securities.
We have elected to not record an allowance on accrued interest for HTM and AFS 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.
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 $5.03 billion related to 1,447 securities as of June 30, 2025 to be primarily related to changes in interest rates, and not the result of any material changes in the credit characteristics of the securities. The unrealized loss has not been recognized as of June 30, 2025, as management did not have the intent to sell, nor was it more likely than not that we would be required to sell these securities before the expected recovery of their amortized cost basis.
