The Company enters into various collateral arrangements with counterparties that require both the pledging and acceptance of fixed maturity securities as collateral. Pledged fixed maturity securities are included in fixed maturity securities, available-for-sale in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Fixed maturity securities received as collateral are held in separate custodial accounts and are not recorded on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. Subject to certain constraints, the Company is permitted by contract to sell or repledge collateral it receives; however, as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, none of the collateral received had been sold or repledged. The Company also holds assets in trust to satisfy collateral requirements under derivative transactions and certain third-party reinsurance treaties. The following table includes fixed maturity securities pledged and received as collateral and assets in trust held to satisfy collateral requirements under derivative transactions and certain third-party reinsurance treaties as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 (dollars in thousands):

The amortized cost and estimated fair value of fixed maturity securities classified as available-for-sale as of March 31, 2019 are shown by contractual maturity in the table below (dollars in thousands). Actual maturities can differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties. Asset and mortgage-backed securities are shown separately in the table below, as they are not due at a single maturity date.

Other-Than-Temporary Impairments - Fixed Maturity Securities As discussed in Note 2 – “Significant Accounting Policies and Pronouncements” of the 2018 Annual Report, a portion of certain other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) losses on fixed maturity securities is recognized in AOCI. For these securities, the net amount recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of income (“credit loss impairments”) represents the difference between the amortized cost of the security and the net present value of its projected future cash flows discounted at the effective interest rate implicit in the debt security prior to impairment. Any remaining difference between the fair value and amortized cost is recognized in AOCI. The amount of pre-tax credit loss impairments on fixed maturity securities held by the Company, for which a portion of the OTTI loss was recognized in AOCI, was $3.7 million as of March 31, 2019 and 2018. There were no changes in these amounts from their respective prior-year ending balances. Unrealized Losses for Fixed Maturity Securities Available-for-Sale The following table presents the total gross unrealized losses for the 1,585 and 3,109 fixed maturity securities as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, where the estimated fair value had declined and remained below amortized cost by the indicated amount (dollars in thousands):

The Company’s determination of whether a decline in value is other-than-temporary includes an analysis of the underlying credit and the extent and duration of a decline in value. The Company’s credit analysis of an investment includes determining whether the issuer is current on its contractual payments, evaluating whether it is probable that the Company will be able to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the security and analyzing the overall ability of the Company to recover the amortized cost of the investment. The following tables present the estimated fair values and gross unrealized losses, including other-than-temporary impairment losses reported in AOCI, for 1,585 and 3,109 fixed maturity securities that have estimated fair values below amortized cost as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively (dollars in thousands). These investments are presented by class and grade of security, as well as the length of time the related fair value has remained below amortized cost.

The Company has no intention to sell, nor does it expect to be required to sell, the securities outlined in the table above, as of the dates indicated. However, unforeseen facts and circumstances may cause the Company to sell fixed maturity securities in the ordinary course of managing its portfolio to meet certain diversification, credit quality and liquidity guidelines. Changes in unrealized losses are primarily driven by changes in interest rates.

The fixed maturity impairments for the three months ended March 31, 2019 were largely related to a U.S. utility company. There were no fixed maturity impairments for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The other impairment losses and change in mortgage loan provision for the three months ended March 31, 2019 were primarily due to impairments on real estate joint ventures and an increase of the equity release mortgage valuation allowance. The other impairment losses and change in mortgage loan provision for the three months ended March 31, 2018 were primarily due to impairments on real estate joint ventures offset by a release of the mortgage loan valuation allowance. The fluctuations in investment related gains (losses) for derivatives and other for the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to the same period in 2018, are primarily due to changes in the fair value of embedded derivatives, futures and equity options offset by interest rate swaps. During the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company sold fixed maturity securities with fair values of $1,246.6 million and $1,263.6 million at losses of $18.7 million and $20.4 million, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company sold equity securities for immaterial losses. During the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company sold equity securities with fair values of $28.4 million at losses of $1.0 million. The Company generally does not buy and sell securities on a short-term basis. Securities Borrowing, Lending and Other The following table includes the amount of borrowed securities, securities lent and securities collateral received as part of the securities lending program and repurchased/reverse repurchased securities pledged and received as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 (dollars in thousands).

(1) Average recorded investment represents the average loan balances as of the beginning of period and all subsequent quarterly end of period balances. The Company did not acquire any impaired mortgage loans during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018. The Company had no mortgage loans that were on a nonaccrual status as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018. Policy Loans Policy loans comprised approximately 2.3% and 2.5% of the Company’s total investments as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, the majority of which are associated with one client. These policy loans present no credit risk because the amount of the loan cannot exceed the obligation due to the ceding company upon the death of the insured or surrender of the underlying policy. The provisions of the treaties in force and the underlying policies determine the policy loan interest rates. The Company earns a spread between the interest rate earned on policy loans and the interest rate credited to corresponding liabilities. Funds Withheld at Interest Funds withheld at interest comprised approximately 10.2% and 10.6% of the Company’s total investments as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. Of the $5.7 billion funds withheld at interest balance, net of embedded derivatives, as of March 31, 2019, $3.7 billion of the balance is associated with one client. For reinsurance agreements written on a modified coinsurance basis and certain agreements written on a coinsurance funds withheld basis, assets equal to the net statutory reserves are withheld and legally owned and managed by the ceding company and are reflected as funds withheld at interest on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. In the event of a ceding company’s insolvency, the Company would need to assert a claim on the assets supporting its reserve liabilities. However, the risk of loss to the Company is mitigated by its ability to offset amounts it owes the ceding company for claims or allowances against amounts owed to the Company from the ceding company. Other Invested Assets Other invested assets represented approximately 3.6% and 3.5% of the Company’s total investments as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. Carrying values of these assets as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 are as follows (dollars in thousands):
