Financial investments at fair value involve recording financial assets based on their current market value, allowing gains and losses to be reflected in earnings as market conditions change. Conversely, investments held at amortized cost are valued at their original acquisition cost adjusted for the repayment of principal and the recognition of any impairment, generally used for debt instruments where the holder intends to hold the investment for its term.
