Investments in loans and securities, under the fair value option

The fair value option may be elected on an instrument-by-instrument basis and is irrevocable unless a new election date occurs. If the fair value option is elected for an instrument, unrealized gains and losses for that instrument should be reported in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. We elected the fair value option to measure certain securities and all loans held by the company, as we believe that fair value best reflects the economic transaction of investing in certain securities and all loans. We determined the fair value of these securities and loans using a discounted cash flow methodology, while also considering market
data as it became available. We record the initial fair value measurement and subsequent measurement changes in fair value in the period in which the changes occur within the gains and (losses) on investments in loans and securities in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income. We report the changes in fair value within (gains) and losses on investments in loans and securities in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flow.

The following table presents activities of investments in loans and securities for which we elected the fair value option (in thousands):
