Fixed Maturities AFS
The components of fair value and amortized cost for fixed maturities classified as AFS on the consolidated balance sheets excludes accrued interest receivable because the Company elected to present accrued interest receivable within other assets. Accrued interest receivable on AFS fixed maturities as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was $614 million and $591 million, respectively. There was no accrued interest written off for AFS fixed maturities for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.
The following tables provide information relating to the Company’s fixed maturities classified as AFS.

The Company’s investments in fixed maturities do not include concentrations of credit risk of any single issuer greater than 10% of the consolidated equity of the Company, other than securities of the U.S. government, U.S. government agencies, and certain securities guaranteed by the U.S. government. The Company maintains a diversified portfolio of corporate securities across industries and issuers and does not have exposure to any single issuer in excess of 0.9% of total corporate securities. The largest exposures to a single issuer of corporate securities held as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 were $400 million and $327 million, respectively, representing 7.6% and 10.4% of the consolidated equity of the Company.
Corporate high yield securities, consisting primarily of public high yield bonds, are classified as other than investment grade by the various rating agencies, i.e., a rating below Baa3/BBB- or the NAIC designation of 3 (medium investment grade), 4 or 5 (below investment grade) or 6 (in or near default). As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, approximately $2.7 billion and $2.9 billion, or 3.7% and 4.0%, of the $74.0 billion and $73.0 billion aggregate amortized cost of fixed maturities held by the Company were considered to be other than investment grade. These securities had gross unrealized losses of $162 million and $208 million as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, the $8.3 billion and $5.3 billion of gross unrealized losses of twelve months or more were primarily concentrated in corporate securities. In accordance with the policy described in Note 2 of the Notes to these Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company concluded that an adjustment to the allowance for credit losses for these securities was not warranted at either June 30, 2023 or December 31, 2022. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company did not intend to sell the securities nor will it likely be required to dispose of the securities before the anticipated recovery of their remaining amortized cost basis.
Based on the Company’s evaluation both qualitatively and quantitatively of the drivers of the decline in fair value of fixed maturity securities as of June 30, 2023, the Company determined that the unrealized loss was primarily due to increases in interest rates and credit spreads.
Securities Lending
The Company has entered into securities lending agreements with an agent bank whereby blocks of securities are loaned to third parties, primarily major brokerage firms. As of June 30, 2023, the estimated fair value of loaned securities was $28.0 million. The agreements require a minimum of 102% of the fair value of the loaned securities to be held as cash collateral, calculated daily. To further minimize the credit risks related to these programs, the financial condition of counterparties is monitored on a regular basis. As of June 30, 2023, cash collateral received in the amount of $28.6 million, was invested by the agent bank. A securities lending payable for the overnight and continuous loans is included in Other liabilities in the amount of cash collateral received. Securities lending transactions are used to generate income. Income and expenses associated with these transactions are reported as net investment income and were not material for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023.
Mortgage Loans on Real Estate
Accrued interest receivable on commercial and agricultural mortgage loans as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was $76 million and $71 million, respectively. There was no accrued interest written off for commercial and agricultural mortgage loans for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.
As of June 30, 2023, the Company had no loans for which foreclosure was probable included within the individually assessed mortgage loans, and accordingly had no associated allowance for credit losses.
Allowance for Credit Losses on Mortgage Loans
The change in the allowance for credit losses for commercial mortgage loans and agricultural mortgage loans during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 were as follows:

changes in credit quality and economic assumptions.

(1)The LTV ratio is derived from current loan balance divided by the fair value of the property. The fair value of the underlying commercial properties is updated annually for each mortgage loan.
(2)The DSC ratio is calculated using the most recently reported operating income results from property operations divided by annual debt service.

Troubled Debt Restructuring
During the first quarter of 2023 we granted a modification to a $56 million commercial real estate loan, which was 0.3% of the mortgage loans on real estate. The modification reflects a pay and accrue structure where the loan was converted to interest only, and the pay rate is lower than the current rate beginning in 2023; 0.35% in 2023 and stepping up annually until it reaches the existing coupon of 5.0% in 2027. Interest between the pay rate and the coupon rate will be accrued and added to the loan monthly. Additionally, any excess cash flow above the pay rate will be applied to the loan. For the accounting policy pertaining to our TDRs see Note 2 of the Notes to these Consolidated Financial Statements.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company identified an immaterial amount of TDRs.
