The contractual maturities of the Company’s fixed maturities are shown in the following table. Expected maturities, which are management’s best estimates, will differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

Certain of the Company’s other investments are in investment funds for which the Company has the option to redeem at agreed upon values as described in each investment fund’s subscription agreement. Depending on the terms of the various subscription agreements, investments in investment funds may be redeemed daily, monthly, quarterly or on other terms. Two common redemption restrictions which may impact the Company’s ability to redeem these investment funds are gates and lockups. A gate is a suspension of redemptions which may be implemented by the general partner or investment manager of the fund in order to defer, in whole or in part, the redemption request in the event the aggregate amount of redemption requests exceeds a predetermined percentage of the investment fund’s net assets which may otherwise hinder the general partner or investment manager’s ability to liquidate holdings in an orderly fashion in order to generate the cash necessary to fund extraordinarily large redemption payouts. A lockup period is the initial amount of time an investor is contractually required to hold the security before having the ability to redeem. If the investment funds are eligible to be redeemed, the time to redeem such fund can take weeks or months following the notification. Limited Partnership Interests In the normal course of its activities, the Company invests in limited partnerships as part of its overall investment strategy. Such amounts are included in ‘investments accounted for using the equity method’ and ‘investments accounted for using the fair value option.’ The Company has determined that it is not required to consolidate these investments because it is not the primary beneficiary of the funds. The Company’s maximum exposure to loss with respect to these investments is limited to the investment carrying amounts reported in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet and any unfunded commitment. The following table summarizes investments in limited partnership interests where the Company has a variable interest by balance sheet line item:
| March 31, 2024 |  | December 31, 2023
Investments accounted for using the equity method (1) | $ | 4,842 |  |  | $ | 4,566 |
Investments accounted for using the fair value option (2) | 109 |  |  | 114 |
Total | $ | 4,951 |  |  | $ | 4,680 |
(1) Aggregate unfunded commitments were $3.5 billion at March 31, 2024, compared with $3.4 billion at December 31, 2023. (2) Aggregate unfunded commitments were $29 million at March 31, 2024, compared to $32 million at December 31, 2023. Equity in Net Income (Loss) of Investment Funds Accounted for Using the Equity Method Income from investment funds accounted for using the equity method for the 2024 first quarter was $99 million, compared to $48 million for the 2023 first quarter. In applying the equity method, investments are initially recorded at cost and are subsequently adjusted based on the Company’s proportionate share of the net income or loss of the funds (which include changes in the market value of the underlying securities in the funds). Such investments are generally recorded on a one to three month lag based on the availability of reports from the investment funds. Investments in Operating Affiliates Investments in which the Company has significant influence over the operating and financial policies are classified as ‘investments in operating affiliates’ on the Company’s balance sheets and are accounted for under the equity method. Such investments primarily include the Company’s investment in Coface SA (“Coface”), Greysbridge Holdings Ltd., (“Greysbridge”) and Premia Holdings Ltd. Investments in Coface and Premia Holdings Ltd. are generally recorded on a three month lag, while the Company’s investment in Greysbridge is not recorded on a lag. As of March 31, 2024, the Company owned approximately 29.9% of the issued shares of Coface, or 30.1% excluding treasury shares, with a carrying value of $586 million, compared to $570 million at December 31, 2023. As of March 31, 2024, the Company owned 40% of Greysbridge with a carrying value of $472 million, compared to $430 million at December 31, 2023. Income from operating affiliates for the 2024 first quarter was $55 million, compared to $39 million for the 2023 first quarter. See note 15 for information on Company’s transactions with related parties.
