As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, investment securities with a fair value of $3.3 billion and $3.1 billion, respectively, were pledged to meet contractual obligations under derivative contracts and short-term borrowings, of which $428 million and $314 million, respectively, may be sold, pledged or rehypothecated by the counterparty. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, fixed maturity securities comprised approximately 90% and 89%, respectively, of Ameriprise Financial investments. Rating agency designations are based on the availability of ratings from Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organizations (“NRSROs”), including Moody’s Investors Service (“Moody’s”), Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services (“S&P”) and Fitch Ratings Ltd. (“Fitch”). The Company uses the median of available ratings from Moody’s, S&P and Fitch, or if fewer than three ratings are available, the lower rating is used. When ratings from Moody’s, S&P and Fitch are unavailable, the Company may utilize ratings from other NRSROs or rate the securities internally. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company’s internal analysts rated $471 million and $400 million, respectively, of securities using criteria similar to those used by NRSROs. A summary of fixed maturity securities by rating was as follows:

These securities are not rated but are included in below investment grade due to their risk characteristics.

As part of the Company’s ongoing monitoring process, management determined that the change in gross unrealized losses on its Available-for-Sale securities for which an allowance for credit losses has not been recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2022 is primarily attributable to the impact of higher interest rates and wider credit spreads. The Company did not recognize these unrealized losses in earnings because it was determined that such losses were due to non-credit factors. The Company does not intend to sell these securities and does not believe that it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell these securities before the anticipated recovery of the remaining amortized cost basis. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, approximately 94% and 96%, respectively, of the total of Available-for-Sale securities with gross unrealized losses were considered investment grade. The following tables present a rollforward of the allowance for credit losses on Available-for-Sale securities:
