Note 6 : Investments
Short-term Investments
Short-term investments include marketable debt investments in corporate debt, government debt, and financial institution instruments. Government debt includes instruments such as non-U.S. government bonds and U.S. agency securities. Financial institution instruments include instruments issued or managed by financial institutions in various forms, such as commercial paper, fixed- and floating-rate bonds, money market fund deposits, and time deposits. As of July 2, 2022 and December 25, 2021, substantially all time deposits were issued by institutions outside the U.S.
For certain of our marketable debt investments, we economically hedge market risks at inception with a related derivative instrument or the marketable debt investment itself is used to economically hedge currency exchange rate risk from remeasurement. These hedged investments are reported at fair value with gains or losses from the investments and the related derivative instruments recorded in interest and other, net. The fair value of our hedged investments was $19.1 billion as of July 2, 2022 and $21.5 billion as of December 25, 2021. For hedged investments still held at the reporting date, we recorded net losses of $1.0 billion in the second quarter of 2022 and net losses of $1.3 billion in the first six months of 2022 ($2 million of net gains in the second quarter of 2021 and $226 million of net losses in the first six months of 2021). We recorded net gains on the related derivatives of $868 million in the second quarter of 2022 and net gains of $1.2 billion in the first six months of 2022 ($23 million of net gains in the second quarter of 2021 and $245 million of net gains in the first six months of 2021).
Our remaining unhedged marketable debt investments are reported at fair value, with unrealized gains or losses, net of tax, recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). The adjusted cost of these investments was $5.4 billion as of July 2, 2022 and $5.0 billion as of December 25, 2021, which approximated the fair value for these periods.
The fair value of marketable debt investments, by contractual maturity, as of July 2, 2022, was as follows:
