Investments | 5. Investments The amortized cost/carrying value and estimated fair value of investments in debt and equity securities by category is as follows (in thousands):
Major categories of net investment gains (losses) on investments are summarized as follows (in thousands):
We realized gross gains on investments of $0.5 million and $1.1 million during the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $1.7 million and $5.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. We realized gross losses on investments of $5 thousand and $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively and $26 thousand and $0.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. We recorded proceeds from the sale of investment securities of $0.2 million and $1.1 million during the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $4.7 million and $16.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Realized investment gains and losses are recognized in operations on the first in-first out method. The following schedules summarize the gross unrealized losses showing the length of time that investments have been continuously in an unrealized loss position as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 (in thousands):
We had a total of 249 debt securities with an unrealized loss, of which 211 were in an unrealized loss position for less than one year and 38 were in an unrealized loss position for a period of one year or greater, as of September 30, 2022. We held a total of 100 debt securities with an unrealized loss, of which 74 were in an unrealized loss position for less than one year and 26 were in an unrealized loss position for a period of one year or greater, as of December 31, 2021. We consider these losses as a temporary decline in value as they are on securities that we do not intend to sell and do not believe we will be required to sell prior to recovery of our amortized cost basis. The gross unrealized losses on the debt security positions at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 were due predominately to market and interest rate fluctuations and we see no other indications that the decline in values of these securities is other-than-temporary. Based on evidence gathered through our normal credit evaluation process, we presently expect that all debt securities held in our investment portfolio will be paid in accordance with their contractual terms. Nonetheless, it is at least reasonably possible that the performance of certain issuers of these debt securities will be worse than currently expected resulting in future write-downs within our portfolio of debt securities. We complete a detailed analysis each quarter to assess whether any decline in the fair value of any debt security below cost is deemed other-than-temporary. All debt securities with an unrealized loss are reviewed. We recognize an impairment loss when a debt security’s value declines below cost, adjusted for accretion, amortization and previous other-than-temporary impairments and it is determined that the decline is other-than-temporary. We did not recognize any impairment loss on debt securities during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we disposed of $0.6 million of previously impaired securities. Debt Investments: We assess whether we intend to sell, or it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell, a fixed maturity investment before recovery of its amortized cost basis less any current period credit losses. For fixed maturity investments that are considered other-than-temporarily impaired and that we do not intend to sell and will not be required to sell, we separate the amount of the impairment into the amount that is credit related (credit loss component) and the amount due to all other factors. The credit loss component is recognized in earnings and is the difference between the investment’s amortized cost basis and the present value of its expected future cash flows. The remaining difference between the investment’s fair value and the present value of future expected cash flows is recognized in other comprehensive income. Equity Investments: Equity investments that are not consolidated or accounted for under the equity method of accounting with readily determinable fair values are not required to be evaluated for other-than-temporary-impairment. The amortized cost and estimated fair value of debt securities at September 30, 2022 by contractual maturity are as follows. Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities because certain borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without penalties.
