Excludes $
99,836
million
of held-to-collect securities as at April 30, 2026 that are carried at amortized cost, net of allowance for credit losses (October 31, 2025 – $100,926 million).
(2)
Gross unrealized gains and losses includes $(38)
million
of allowance for credit losses on debt securities at FVOCI as at April 30, 2026 (October 31, 2025 – $(40) million) recognized in income and Other components of equity.
Allowance for credit losses on investment securities
The following tables reconcile the opening and closing allowance for debt securities at FVOCI and amortized cost by stage. Reconciling items include the following:
•  
Transfers between stages, which are presumed to occur before any corresponding remeasurement of the allowance.
•  
Purchases, which reflect the allowance related to assets newly recognized during the period, including those assets that were derecognized following a modification of terms.
•  
Sales and maturities, which reflect the allowance related to assets derecognized during the period without a credit loss being incurred, including those assets that were derecognized following a modification of terms.
•  
Changes in risk, parameters and exposures, which comprise the impact of changes in model inputs or assumptions, including changes in forward-looking macroeconomic conditions; partial repayments; changes in the measurement following a transfer between stages; and unwinding of the time value discount due to the passage of time.

The following table presents the fair value of debt securities at FVOCI and gross carrying amount of securities at amortized cost. Risk ratings are based on internal ratings used in the measurement of expected credit losses as at the reporting date, as outlined in the internal ratings maps in the Credit risk section of our 2025 Annual Report.
