Investments, Debt and Equity Securities [Abstract]  
INVESTMENT SECURITIES INVESTMENT SECURITIES. Current investment securities include our senior note from AerCap, for which we have adopted the fair value option and matures in the fourth quarter of 2025, with a fair value of $1,000 million and $982 million at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
Substantially all of our non-current investment securities are held within our run-off insurance operations and are classified as non-current as they support the long-duration insurance liabilities and include debt securities all classified as available-for-sale, substantially all of which are investment-grade.

The amortized cost of debt securities excludes accrued interest of $507 million and $473 million at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, which is reported in All other current assets.

The estimated fair value of investment securities at March 31, 2025 increased since December 31, 2024, primarily due to lower market yields partially offset by net proceeds from debt/equity securities sales and early redemptions, both from our run-off insurance operations.

Total estimated fair value of debt securities in an unrealized loss position were $20,859 million and $21,876 million, of which $13,913 million and $14,011 million had gross unrealized losses of $(2,663) million and $(2,795) million and had been in a loss position for 12 months or more at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Gross unrealized losses at March 31, 2025 included $(96) million related to commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) collateralized by pools of commercial mortgage loans on real estate, and $(57) million related to asset-backed securities. The majority of our CMBS and asset-backed securities in an unrealized loss position have received investment-grade credit ratings from the major rating agencies. The majority of our U.S. and non-U.S. corporate securities' gross unrealized losses were in the consumer, electric, technology and communication industries. For our securities in an unrealized loss position, the losses are not indicative of credit losses, we currently do not intend to sell the investments, and it is not more likely than not that we will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost basis.

Contractual maturities of our debt securities (excluding mortgage and asset-backed securities) at March 31, 2025 are as follows:

Amortized costEstimated fair value
Within one year$905 $900 
After one year through five years3,829 3,895 
After five years through ten years5,135 5,195 
After ten years24,808 22,619 

We expect actual maturities to differ from contractual maturities because borrowers have the right to call or prepay certain obligations.

The majority of our non-current investment securities are classified within Level 2, as their valuation is determined based on significant observable inputs. Investments with a fair value of $4,351 million and $5,074 million, including the AerCap senior note, are classified within Level 3, as significant inputs to their valuation models are unobservable at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, $949 million was transferred out of Level 3 related to increases in the observability of external information used in determining fair value in our run-off insurance operations and primarily included certain investments in private placement U.S. and non-U.S. corporate debt securities. During the three months ended March 31, 2025 there were no significant transfers into Level 3 and during three months ended March 31, 2024, there were no significant transfers into or out of Level 3.
In addition to the equity securities described above, we held $1,491 million and $1,439 million of equity securities without RDFV including $1,462 million and $1,410 million within our run-off insurance operations at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, that are classified within All other assets in our Statement of Financial Position. Fair value adjustments, including impairments, recorded in income were $38 million and $34 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. These are primarily limited partnership investments in private equity, infrastructure and real estate funds that are measured at net asset value per share (or equivalent) as a practical expedient to estimated fair value and are excluded from the fair value hierarchy. These limited partnership investments are generally not eligible for redemption and generally cannot be sold without approval of the general partner. Distributions from each fund will be received as the underlying investments of the funds are liquidated at the discretion of the general partner. These investments are generally considered illiquid and our ability to receive the most recent net asset value in a sale would be determined by external market factors.
