At December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company held investments of $269 million and $307 million, respectively, related to the 2012 conversion of an existing group annuity contract from a participating to a non-participating contract. These investments are included in the total investments of large case pensions supporting non-experience-rated products. Although these investments are not accounted for as Separate Accounts assets, they are legally segregated and are not subject to claims that arise out of the Company’s business and only support future policy benefits obligations under that group annuity contract.

(1)There was no allowance for expected credit losses recorded on available-for-sale debt securities at December 31, 2024 or December 31, 2023.
(2)Investment risks associated with the Company’s experience-rated products generally do not impact the Company’s consolidated operating results. At December 31, 2024, debt securities with a fair value of $543 million, gross unrealized capital gains of $5 million and gross unrealized capital losses of $30 million, and at December 31, 2023, debt securities with a fair value of $592 million, gross unrealized capital gains of $10 million and gross
unrealized capital losses of $28 million were included in total debt securities, but support experience-rated products. Changes in net unrealized capital gains (losses) on these securities are not reflected in accumulated other comprehensive loss.

The amortized cost and fair value of debt securities at December 31, 2024 are shown below by contractual maturity. Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities because securities may be restructured, called or prepaid, or the Company intends to sell a security prior to maturity.

The Company reviewed the securities in the table above and concluded that they are performing assets generating investment income to support the needs of the Company’s business. In performing this review, the Company considered factors such as the quality of the investment security based on research performed by the Company’s internal credit analysts and external rating agencies and the prospects of realizing the carrying value of the security based on the investment’s current prospects for recovery. Unrealized capital losses at December 31, 2024 were generally caused by interest rate increases and not by unfavorable changes in the credit quality associated with these securities. As of December 31, 2024, the Company did not intend to sell these securities, and did not believe it was more likely than not that it would be required to sell these securities prior to the anticipated recovery of their amortized cost basis.
The maturity dates for debt securities in an unrealized capital loss position at December 31, 2024 were as follows:

Mortgage loans fully repaid104 43 
Mortgage loans foreclosed— — 

The Company assesses mortgage loans on a regular basis for credit impairments, and assigns a credit quality indicator to each loan. The Company’s credit quality indicator is internally developed and categorizes each loan in its portfolio on a scale from 1 to 7. These indicators are based upon several factors, including current loan-to-value ratios, current and future property cash flow, property condition, market trends, creditworthiness of the borrower and deal structure.

•Category 1 - Represents loans of superior quality.
•Categories 2 to 4 - Represent loans where credit risk is minimal to acceptable; however, these loans may display some susceptibility to economic changes.
•Categories 5 and 6 - Represent loans where credit risk is not substantial, but these loans warrant management’s close attention.
•Category 7 - Represents loans where collections are potentially at risk; if necessary, an impairment is recorded.
Based upon the Company’s assessments at December 31, 2024 and 2023, the amortized cost basis of the Company’s mortgage loans within each credit quality indicator by year of origination was as follows:
