During Six Months 2026 and Six Months 2025, we had no write-offs or recoveries of our AFS fixed income securities.
For information on our methodology and significant inputs used to measure expected credit losses, our accounting policy for recognizing write-offs of uncollectible amounts, and our treatment of accrued interest, refer to Note 2. "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" in Item 8. "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data." of our 2025 Annual Report. Accrued interest on AFS securities was $99.1 million as of June 30, 2026, and $88.9 million as of December 31, 2025. We did not record any material write-offs of accrued interest in Six Months 2026 or Six Months 2025.

We currently do not intend to sell any of the securities summarized in the tables above, nor do we believe we will be required to sell any of them. The increase in gross unrealized losses at June 30, 2026, compared to December 31, 2025, was primarily driven by an increase in benchmark U.S. Treasury rates. Considering these factors and our review of these securities under our credit loss policy as described in Note 2. "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" in Item 8. "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data." of our 2025 Annual Report, we have concluded that no additional allowance for credit loss is required on these balances beyond the allowance for credit loss recorded as of June 30, 2026. This conclusion reflects our current judgment about the financial position and future prospects of the entities that issued the investment security and underlying collateral. (c) AFS and held-to-maturity ("HTM") fixed income securities at June 30, 2026, by contractual maturity are shown below. The maturities of RMBS, CMBS, CLO and other ABS securities were calculated using each security's expected maturities. Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities because issuers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | AFS | | HTM | | | | ($ in thousands) | | Fair Value | | Carrying Value | | Fair Value | | | | Due in one year or less | | $ | 541,089 | | | — | | | — | | | | | Due after one year through five years | | 3,618,127 | | | 20,107 | | | 19,540 | | | | | Due after five years through ten years | | 4,120,238 | | | — | | | — | | | | | Due after ten years | | 1,630,299 | | | — | | | — | | | | | Total fixed income securities | | $ | 9,909,753 | | | 20,107 | | | 19,540 | | | |
(d) The following table summarizes our alternative investment portfolio by strategy:

We are contractually committed to make additional investments up to the remaining commitments stated above. We did not provide any non-contractual financial support during 2026 or 2025.
(e) We have pledged certain AFS fixed income securities as collateral related to our borrowing relationships with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis ("FHLBI") and the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York ("FHLBNY"). We also had certain securities on deposit with various state and regulatory agencies at June 30, 2026, to comply with insurance laws. We retain all rights regarding all securities pledged as collateral.
The following table summarizes the market value of these securities at June 30, 2026:

(f) We did not have exposure to any credit concentration risk of a single issuer greater than 10% of our stockholders' equity, other than to certain U.S. government agencies, as of June 30, 2026, or December 31, 2025.
(g) The components of pre-tax net investment income earned were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Quarter ended June 30, | | Six Months ended June 30, | | ($ in thousands) | | 2026 | | 2025 | | 2026 | | 2025 | | Fixed income securities | | $ | 134,641 | | | 115,733 | | | $ | 261,268 | | | 220,815 | | Commercial mortgage loans ("CMLs") | | 4,086 | | | 3,761 | | | 8,315 | | | 7,376 | | | Equity securities | | 5,520 | | | 4,908 | | | 9,722 | | | 8,475 | | | Short-term investments | | 3,157 | | | 5,267 | | | 8,697 | | | 11,500 | | | Alternative investments | | 8,608 | | | 4,004 | | | 15,483 | | | 11,083 | | | Other investments | | 446 | | | 163 | | | 486 | | | 394 | | | Investment expenses | | (6,291) | | | (5,868) | | | (11,421) | | | (10,984) | | | Net investment income earned | | $ | 150,167 | | | 127,968 | | | $ | 292,550 | | | 248,659 | |
The increase in net investment income earned in Second Quarter 2026 and Six Months 2026 compared to the same prior-year periods was primarily driven by active portfolio management resulting in higher after-tax portfolio yield and operating cash flow deployment.
