Maturities
The amortized cost and fair value of available-for-sale fixed maturity securities at March 31, 2026, by contractual maturity, are shown in the following table. Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties. Asset-backed securities, mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations may be subject to prepayment risk and are therefore not categorized by contractual maturity.

Allowance for Credit Losses

We regularly review available-for-sale fixed-maturity securities for declines in fair value that we determine to be credit-related. For our fixed maturity securities, we generally consider the following in determining whether our unrealized losses are credit-related, and if so, the magnitude of the credit loss:

The extent to which the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis;
The reasons for the decline in value (credit event, currency or interest-rate related, including general credit spread widening);
The financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer (including issuer's current credit rating and the probability of full recovery of principal, based upon the issuer's financial strength);
Current delinquencies and nonperforming assets of underlying collateral;
Expected future default rates;
Collateral value by vintage, geographic region, industry concentration or property type;
Subordination levels or other credit enhancements as of the balance sheet date as compared to origination; and
Contractual and regulatory cash obligations and the issuer's plans to meet such obligations.

We recognize an allowance for credit losses on fixed maturity securities in an unrealized loss position when it is determined, using the factors discussed above, a component of the unrealized loss is related to credit. We recognize the credit loss in "Net investment gains (losses)" in the Consolidated Statements of Income, with an offset for the amount of non-credit impairments recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income. We do not measure an allowance for credit losses on accrued investment income because we write-off accrued interest through net investment income when collectability concerns arise.

We consider the following in determining whether write-offs of a security's amortized cost are necessary:
We believe amounts related to securities have become uncollectible;
We intend to sell a security; or
It is more likely than not that we will be required to sell a security prior to recovery.

If we intend to sell a fixed maturity security or it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis and the fair value of the security is below amortized cost, we will write down the security to current fair value, with a corresponding charge, net of any amount previously recognized as an allowance for credit losses, to "Net investment gains (losses)" in the Consolidated Statements of Income. If we do not intend to sell a fixed maturity security or it is more likely than not that we will not be required to sell a fixed maturity security before recovery of its amortized cost basis but believe amounts related to a security are uncollectible, an impairment is deemed to have occurred and the amortized cost is written down to the estimated recovery value with a corresponding charge, net of any amount previously recognized as an allowance for credit losses, to "Net investment gains (losses)" in the Consolidated Statements of Income. The remainder of unrealized loss is held in "Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)" in the Consolidated Statements of Stockholders' Equity.
As of March 31, 2026, we had no allowance for credit losses for the available-for-sale fixed maturity securities portfolio.
Unrealized Gain and Loss
Changes in unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale fixed maturity securities do not affect net income and earnings per share but do impact comprehensive income, stockholders' equity and book value per share. A summary of changes in net unrealized investment gain (loss), net of taxes, during the reporting period is as follows:

(1) As a member of Lloyd's, the Company participates in the syndicate results which include unrealized gains and losses on investments. The change in net unrealized gains and losses on Lloyd's syndicate investments included above was $0.3 million as of March 31, 2026 and ($1.0) million as of March 31, 2025.
The following tables summarize our fixed maturity securities that were in an unrealized loss position at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. The securities are presented by the length of time they have been continuously in an unrealized loss position.

We believe that any unrealized losses on our available-for-sale fixed maturity securities at March 31, 2026 are temporary based upon our current analysis of the issuers of the securities we hold and current market conditions. We invest in high quality assets to provide protection from future credit quality issues. Non-credit related unrealized losses are recognized as a component of other comprehensive income and represent other market movements that are not credit related, for example, interest rate changes. We have no intent to sell, and it is more likely than not that we will not be required to sell these securities until the fair value recovers to at least equal our cost basis or the securities mature.

Mortgage Loans
The mortgage loan portfolio consists entirely of commercial mortgage loans. We did not acquire new loans during the three months ended March 31, 2026. The following tables present the carrying value of our commercial mortgage loans and additional information at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025:

Mortgage loans are evaluated on a quarterly basis for impairment on an individual basis through a monitoring process and review of key credit indicators, such as economic trends, delinquency rates, property valuations, occupancy and rental rates and loan-to-value ratios. A loan is considered impaired when the Company believes it will not collect the principal and interest set forth in the contractual terms of the loan. An internal grade is assigned to each mortgage loan, with a grade of 1 being the highest and least likely for an impairment and a grade of 7 being the lowest and most likely for an impairment. An allowance for credit losses on mortgage loans is established on each loan for those amounts we believe will not be collected according to the contractual terms of the respective loan agreement. The table below shows mortgage loans by year of origination as of March 31, 2026.

Funding Commitment
Pursuant to agreements with our limited liability partnership investments, we are contractually committed through 2030 to make capital contributions upon the request of certain of the partnerships. The timing of these additional contributions is unknown and based upon the timing of when investments and agreements are executed or signed compared to when the actual commitments are funded or closed. Our remaining potential contractual obligation was $15.3 million at March 31, 2026.
