Allowance for Credit Losses
The Company establishes a valuation allowance to provide for the risk of credit losses inherent in its mortgage loan portfolios. The valuation allowance is maintained at a level believed adequate by management to absorb estimated expected credit losses. The valuation allowance is based on amortized cost, which excludes accrued interest receivable. The Company does not measure a credit loss allowance on accrued interest receivable, and any uncollectible accrued interest receivable balances are written off to net investment income in a timely manner. The amount of uncollectible accrued interest receivable on its commercial or residential mortgage loan portfolios that was written off was not significant for any of the periods presented.
The rollforward of the allowance for credit losses for mortgage loans for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 is shown below:

Credit Quality Indicators
Mortgage loans are segregated by property-type and quantitative and qualitative allowance factors are applied. Qualitative factors are developed quarterly based on the pooling of assets with similar risk characteristics and historical loss experience adjusted for the expected trend in the current market environment. Credit losses are pooled by property type as it represents the most similar and reliable risk characteristics in our portfolio. The amortized cost of mortgage loans by year of origination and aging category is shown below:

It is the Company’s policy to not accrue interest on loans that are 90 days delinquent and where amounts are determined to be uncollectible. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, 264 mortgage loans and 275 mortgage loans, respectively, were past due over 90 days or in nonaccrual status.
The Company’s commercial and residential mortgage loans may be subject to loan modifications. Loan modifications may be granted to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty and could include principal forgiveness, interest rate reduction, an other-than-insignificant payment delay or a term extension. A loan modification typically does not result in a change in valuation allowance as it is already incorporated into the Company’s allowance methodology. However, if the Company grants a borrower experiencing financial difficulty principal forgiveness, the amount of principal forgiven would be written off, which would reduce the amortized cost of the loan and result in an adjustment to the valuation allowance. The carrying amount of mortgage loans experiencing financial difficulty, for which modifications have been granted, was $19 million and $89 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
6. Private Loans
The following table summarizes the credit ratings of our private loans:

Unrated (1)3,296 3,017 
Total$8,949 $8,926 
(1)Due to the private nature of private loans, external agency credit ratings may not be readily available. Where appropriate, the Company obtains non-published credit ratings from one or more third-party rating agencies, which are determined based on an independent evaluation of the transaction. For other loans without published or private credit ratings, the Company assigns internal risk ratings, based on its investment selection and monitoring process and policies. These internal risk ratings are categorized as “Unrated” above.
