The following tables present fair value and gross unrealized losses, aggregated by investment category and length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position, as of the dates stated. The reference point for determining when securities are in an unrealized loss position is period-end; therefore, it is possible that a security's market value exceeded its amortized cost on other days during the past twelve-month period. Excluded from the tables below were securities whose amortized cost equaled their fair value or were in an unrealized gain position as of the dates stated totaling $18.1 million and $1.1 million, as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the majority of securities in an unrealized loss position were of investment grade; however, a portion of the portfolio does not have a third-party investment grade available (securities with fair values of $27.3 million and $29.3 million, respectively). These securities were primarily subordinated debt instruments issued by bank holding companies that are classified as corporate bonds in the tables above. The Company evaluated the issuers of these individually, observing that each issuer had strong capital ratios and profitability, thereby indicating limited exposure to asset quality or liquidity issues and resulted in no identifiable credit losses. Contractual cash flows for mortgage backed securities and U.S. Treasury and agencies are guaranteed and/or funded by the U.S. government and government agencies. State and municipal securities showed no indication that the contractual cash flows would not be received when due. The Company does not intend to sell, nor does it believe that it will be required to sell, any of its impaired securities prior to the recovery of the amortized cost. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there was no allowance for credit losses ("ACL") for the Company's securities AFS portfolio. Any impairment that has not been recorded through an ACL is recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

Restricted equity investments consisted of stock in the FHLB (carrying value of $9.1 million and $9.4 million as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively), FRB stock (carrying value of $9.3 million and $9.4 million at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively), and stock in the Company’s correspondent bank (carrying value of $0.5 million at both June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024). Restricted equity investments are carried at cost.

The Company has various other equity investments, including an investment in a fintech company and limited partnerships, totaling $4.6 million and $4.8 million as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

The Company also holds other investments, primarily in early-stage focused investment funds, which totaled $20.9 million and $19.4 million as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, and are reported in other investments on the consolidated balance sheets.
