After the fiasco of Silicon Valley Bank due to the fire sale of 22 billion dollar causing 2 Billion dollar losses in Books, we tried to analyze the Unrealized losses of some Major Banks in USA. Tabular analysis is as under:
Lets substantiate the unrealized losses of these Banks with available Annual report of 2022.
1.JP Morgan Chase
(a) The Firm purchased $33.7 billion, $111.8 billion and $12.4 billion of HTM securities for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
(b) The amortized cost of investment securities is reported net of allowance for credit losses of $96 million and $42 million at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
(c) Excludes $2.5 billion and $1.9 billion of accrued interest receivable at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, included in accrued interest and accounts receivable on the Consolidated balance sheets. The Firm generally does not recognize an allowance for credit losses on accrued interest receivable, consistent with its policy to write them off no later than 90 days past due by reversing interest income. The Firm did not reverse through interest income any accrued interest receivable for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021.
2. Bank of America
At December 31, 2022 and 2021, the underlying collateral type included approximately 17 percent and 21 percent prime and 83 percent and 79 percent subprime.
(2) Primarily includes non-U.S. securities used to satisfy certain international regulatory requirements. Any changes in value are reported in market making and similar activities. For detail on the components, see Note 20 – Fair Value Measurements.
(3) Includes securities pledged as collateral of $104.5 billion and $111.9 billion at December 31, 2022 and 2021.
(4) The Corporation held debt securities from FNMA and FHLMC that each exceeded 10 percent of shareholders’ equity, with an amortized cost of $290.5 billion and $176.7 billion, and a fair value of $239.6 billion and $144.6 billion at December 31, 2022, and an amortized cost of $345.3 billion and $205.3 billion, and a fair value of $342.5 billion and $202.4 billion at December 31, 2021.
3. Silicon Valley Bank
The following tables summarize our AFS securities in an unrealized loss position for which an ACL has not been recorded and summarized into categories of AFS securities that were in an unrealized loss position for less than 12 months, or 12 months or longer, as of December 31, 2022
As of December 31, 2022, we identified a total of 810 investments that were in unrealized loss positions with 346 investments in an unrealized loss position for a period of time greater than 12 months. Based on our analysis of the securities in an unrealized loss position as of December 31, 2022, the decline in value is unrelated to credit loss and is related to changes in market interest rates since purchase, and therefore, changes in value for securities are included in other comprehensive income. Market valuations and credit loss analyses on assets in the AFS securities portfolio are reviewed and monitored on a quarterly basis. As of December 31, 2022, we do not intend to sell any of our securities in an unrealized loss position prior to recovery of our amortized cost basis, and it is more likely than not that we will not be required to sell any of our securities prior to recovery of our amortized cost basis. None of the investments in our AFS securities portfolio were past due as of December 31, 2022.
HTM Securities
During the year ended December 31, 2021, we re-designated certain securities from the classification of AFS to HTM. The securities re-designated consisted of agency-issued CMO’s, CMBS’, MBS’ and U.S. agency debentures with a total carrying value of $8.8 billion. At the time of re-designation the securities included $132 million of pretax net unrealized losses in other comprehensive income and are being amortized over the life of the securities in a manner consistent with the amortization of a premium or discount. Our decision to re-designate the securities was based on our ability and intent to hold these securities to maturity. Factors used in assessing the ability to hold these securities to maturity were future liquidity needs and sources of funding. HTM securities are carried on the balance sheet at amortized cost and the changes in the value of these securities, other than an ACL, are not reported on the financial statements. There were no re-designations during 2022.
The components of our HTM investment securities portfolio at December 31, 2022are as follows:
(1) Consists of pools of Small Business Investment Company debentures issued and guaranteed by the SBA, an independent agency of the United States.
4.First Republic Bank
5.Signature Bank
6.Zions Bancorporation
7. East West Bancorp
8.PNC Financial Services
