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 September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 was $684 million and $626 million, respectively. There was no accrued interest written off for AFS fixed maturities for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.
The following tables provide information relating to the Company’s fixed maturities classified as AFS:

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 0.8% of total corporate securities. The largest exposures to a single issuer of corporate securities held as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 were $400 million and $360 million, respectively, representing 8.0% and 8.2% 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 (as defined below) of 3 (medium investment grade), 4 or 5 (below investment grade) or 6 (in or near default). As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, approximately $2.0 billion and $2.6 billion, or 2.4% and 3.5%, of the $81.7 billion and $74.0 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 $58 million and $101 million as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, the $6.3 billion and $7.3 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 September 30, 2024 or December 31, 2023. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company did not intend to sell the securities nor was it more likely than not 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 September 30, 2024, the Company determined that the unrealized loss was primarily due to increases in interest rates and credit spreads.
Securities Lending
Beginning in 2023, the Company entered into securities lending agreements with an agent bank whereby blocks of securities are loaned to third parties, primarily major brokerage firms. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the estimated fair value of loaned securities was $124 million and $113 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 September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, cash collateral received in the amount of $127 million and $116 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 September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
Mortgage Loans on Real Estate
In September 2023, the Company began investing in residential mortgage loans. Accrued interest receivable on commercial, agricultural and residential mortgage loans as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 was $93 million and $82 million, respectively. There was no accrued interest written off for commercial, agricultural and residential mortgage loans for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.
As of September 30, 2024, the Company foreclosed on one commercial mortgage loan that had an amortized cost of $108 million and an associated allowance of $54 million, that it re-acquired as wholly owned real estate with a cost of $56 million. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were no other mortgage loans for which foreclosure was probable.

The change in the allowance for credit losses is attributable to:
increases/decreases in the loan balance due to new originations, maturing mortgages, and loan amortization; and
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
There were no TDRs during the three months ended September 30, 2024. There was one TDR during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
