| Derivative Instruments |
Derivative Instruments The Company enters into foreign currency forward contracts from time to time to help mitigate the impact that an adverse change in foreign exchange rates would have on the value of the Company’s investments denominated in foreign currencies. The Company enters into swap contracts in the normal course of business to manage its interest rate risk exposure. For derivative contracts, the Company enters into netting arrangements with its counterparties. In accordance with authoritative guidance, the Company offsets fair value amounts recognized for derivative instruments with the same security type and counterparty under a master netting arrangement.
During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the average notional exposure for foreign currency forward contracts were $2,742.1 million and $1,818.2 million, respectively, and the average notional exposure for interest rate swaps were $5,289.0 million and $2,775.0 million, respectively.
