Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties. The contractual maturities of our current investments as of September 30, 2026 are summarized below:

In the nine months ended September 30, 2026, and 2025, maturities and redemptions of available-for-sale securities amounted to $928 million and $933 million, respectively, and sales amounted to $92 million and $84 million, respectively. Gross realized gains and losses from sales of available-for-sale securities are calculated under the specific identification method and are included in investment income. Gross realized investment gains and losses were insignificant for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025.
We have determined that unrealized losses at September 30, 2026, and December 31, 2025, primarily resulted from fluctuating interest rates, rather than a deterioration of the creditworthiness of the issuers. Further, as of September 30, 2026, we do not intend to sell, and it is not likely that we will be required to sell these investments prior to the recovery of their amortized cost basis. Therefore, we determined that an allowance for credit losses was not necessary.
The following table segregates those available-for-sale investments that have been in a continuous loss position for less than 12 months, and those that have been in a continuous loss position for 12 months or more as of September 30, 2026:

Restricted Investments Held-to-Maturity
Pursuant to the regulations governing our state health plan subsidiaries, we maintain statutory deposits and deposits required by government authorities primarily in cash, cash equivalents, U.S. Treasury securities, and corporate debt securities. We also maintain restricted investments as protection against the insolvency of certain capitated providers. The use of these funds is limited as required by regulations in the various states in which we operate, or as needed in the event of insolvency of capitated providers. Therefore, such investments are reported as “Restricted investments” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
We have the intent and ability to hold these restricted investments until maturity and, as a result, we expect to collect the contractual cash flows associated with these investments and do not recognize interim fluctuations in fair value. Accordingly, our held-to-maturity restricted investments are carried at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. Such investments amounted to $345 million at September 30, 2026, of which $281 million will mature in one year or less, $61 million will mature in one through five years, and $3 million will mature after five years.
