Fixed Maturity Securities
We evaluate our available-for-sale fixed maturity securities for declines based on qualitative and quantitative factors. We have established an allowance for credit loss and recorded credit loss expense as a reflection of our expected impairment losses. We continue to review our investment portfolios under our impairment review policy. Given the inherent uncertainty of changes in market conditions and the significant judgments involved, there is a continuing risk that declines in fair value may occur and additional material impairment losses for credit losses on investments may be recorded in future periods.
A summary of current and long-term fixed maturity securities, available-for-sale, at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 is as follows:

Unrealized losses on our securities shown in the table above have not been recognized into income because, as of June 30, 2024, we do not intend to sell these investments and it is likely that we will not be required to sell these investments prior to their maturity or anticipated recovery. The declines in fair values are largely due to increasing interest rates driven by the higher rate of inflation and other market conditions.
Allowances for credit losses have been recorded in the amount of $4 at both June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, for declines in fair value due to unfavorable changes in the credit quality characteristics that impact our assessment of collectability of principal and interest.
The amortized cost and fair value of fixed maturity securities at June 30, 2024, by contractual maturity, are shown below. Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities because the issuers of the securities may have the right to prepay obligations.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, we received total proceeds from sales, maturities, calls or redemptions of fixed maturity securities of $3,014 and $8,414, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, we received total proceeds from sales, maturities, calls or redemptions of fixed maturity securities of $9,675 and $15,085, respectively.
In the ordinary course of business, we may sell securities at a loss for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to: (i) changes in the investment environment; (ii) expectation that the fair value could deteriorate further; (iii) desire to reduce exposure to an issuer or an industry; (iv) changes in credit quality; or (v) changes in expected cash flow.
All securities sold resulting in investment gains and losses are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses are determined on the basis of the cost or amortized cost of the specific securities sold.

Other Invested Assets
Other invested assets include primarily our investments in limited partnerships, joint ventures and other non-controlled corporations, mortgage loans and the cash surrender value of corporate-owned life insurance policies. Investments in limited partnerships, joint ventures and other non-controlled corporations are carried at our share in the entities’ undistributed earnings, which approximates fair value. Financial information for certain of these investments is reported on a one or three month lag due to the timing of when we receive financial information from the companies.

Accrued Investment Income
At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, accrued investment income totaled $316 and $301, respectively. We recognize accrued investment income under the caption “Other receivables” on our consolidated balance sheets.
Securities Lending Programs
We participate in securities lending programs whereby marketable securities in our investment portfolio are transferred to independent brokers or dealers in exchange for cash and securities collateral. The fair value of the collateral received at the time of the transactions amounted to $2,700 and $2,380 at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The value of the collateral represented 102% of the market value of the securities on loan at each of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. We recognize the collateral as an asset under the caption “Other current assets” in our consolidated balance sheets, and we recognize a corresponding liability for the obligation to return the collateral to the borrower under the caption “Other current liabilities.” The securities on loan are reported in the applicable investment category on our consolidated balance sheets.
At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the remaining contractual maturity of our securities lending agreements included overnight and continuous transactions of cash for $2,269 and $2,255, respectively, of United States Government securities for $261 and $99, respectively, and of residential mortgage-backed securities for $170 and $26, respectively.
