1Investments amounting to $296.3 million at June 30, 2026, and $274.8 million at December 31, 2025, were measured at fair value using the net asset value per share (or its practical expedient) and have not been classified in the fair value hierarchy. These investments are subject to restrictions on redemption, and the timing of liquidations of the underlying assets is unknown at each reporting period. The fair value amounts in this table are intended to permit reconciliation of the fair value hierarchy to total assets measured at fair value.

During Six Months 2026, we transferred securities with a fair value of $510.9 million from Level 3 to Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. These investments were primarily corporate securities, CLOs and other ABS that were transferred on June 30, 2026 as we transitioned to a matrix-pricing methodology that provides sufficient observable inputs to support Level 2 classification and eliminates the prior need to rely on significant unobservable inputs in determining fair value.
The following tables present quantitative information about the significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurements of Level 3 assets at June 30, 2026, and December 31, 2025:

1Other is comprised of broker quotes or other third-party pricing for which there is a lack of transparency into the inputs used to develop the valuations. The quantitative details of these unobservable inputs are neither provided to us, nor reasonably available to us, and therefore are not included in the tables above.

For the securities in the tables above valued using a discounted cash flow analysis, we apply an illiquidity spread in determining fair value. An increase in this assumption would result in a lower fair value measurement.

The following tables provide quantitative information about our financial assets and liabilities that were not measured at fair value, but were disclosed as such at June 30, 2026, and December 31, 2025:
