Analysis of Unaudited Statements of Condition

Investment Securities

The carrying value of our investment securities portfolio was $7.6 billion and $7.3 billion as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The increase was primarily due to the purchase of $517.1 million in available-for-sale investment securities during the six months ended June 30, 2025, of which $259.1 million were floating rate securities. The increase was partially offset by the amortization of existing securities. Floating rate securities represented 18.8% of the investment securities portfolio as of June 30, 2025, compared to 16.5% as of December 31, 2024.
