The following summarizes the number of AFS securities that were in an unrealized loss position, including related parties, for which an allowance for credit losses has not been recorded:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | June 30, 2026 | | Unrealized Loss Position | | Unrealized Loss Position 12 Months or More | | AFS securities | 6,551 | | | 4,820 | | | AFS securities – related parties | 177 | | | 66 | |
The unrealized losses on AFS securities can primarily be attributed to changes in market interest rates since acquisition of the securities. Athene did not recognize the unrealized losses in income, unless as required for hedge accounting, as it intends to hold these securities and it is not more likely than not it will be required to sell a security before the recovery of its amortized cost.

Athene diversifies the commercial mortgage loan portfolio by geographic region and property type to reduce concentration risk. Athene evaluates mortgage loans based on relevant current information to confirm whether properties are performing at a consistent and acceptable level to secure the related debt.

Investment Funds
Athene’s investment fund portfolio strategy primarily focuses on core holdings of origination and retirement services platforms, equity and credit, and other funds. Origination platforms include investments sourced by affiliated platforms that originate loans to third parties and in which Athene gains exposure directly to the loan or indirectly through its ownership of the origination platform and/or securitizations of assets originated by the origination platform. Retirement services platforms include investments in equity of financial services companies. The credit strategy comprises direct origination, asset-backed, multi-credit and opportunistic credit funds focused on generating excess returns through high-quality credit underwriting and origination. The equity strategy comprises private equity, hybrid value, secondaries equity, real estate equity, infrastructure and clean transition equity funds that raise capital from investors to pursue control-oriented investments across the universe of private assets. Investment funds can meet the definition of VIEs. The investment funds do not specify timing of distributions on the funds’ underlying assets.
