First Merchants Bank: Securities Portfolio
Data as of · Call Report Schedule RC-B How we update
The investment portfolio: what the bank owns, how it is split between available-for-sale and held-to-maturity, and the unrealized gain or loss sitting in it. Unrealized losses on held-to-maturity securities do not run through capital, which is why the ratio to equity is worth watching.
Pledged share of securities dropped 3.28 percentage points in Q2 2026, from 97.44% to 94.15%. It was the largest change from Q1 2026 among the key lines here.
