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 consolidated balance sheets. Fixed maturity securities received as collateral are held in separate custodial accounts and are not recorded on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Subject to certain constraints, the Company is permitted by contract to sell or repledge collateral it receives; however, as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, 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 December 31, 2023 and 2022 (dollars in millions):

Allowance for Credit Losses and Impairments Fixed Maturity Securities Available-for-Sale
As discussed in Note 2 – “Significant Accounting Policies and Pronouncements,” allowances for credit losses on fixed maturity securities are recognized in investment related gains (losses), net. The amount recognized 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 fixed maturity security prior to the allowance for credit losses. Any remaining difference between the fair value and amortized cost is recognized in OCI.
The following tables present the rollforward of the allowance for credit losses in fixed maturity securities by type for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 (dollars in millions):

Unrealized Losses for Fixed Maturity Securities Available-for-Sale
The Company’s determination of whether a decline in value necessitates the recording of an allowance for credit losses includes an analysis of 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 value and gross unrealized losses for the 5,788 and 6,441 fixed maturity securities for which an allowance for credit loss has not been recorded as of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, and the estimated fair value had declined and remained below amortized cost (dollars in millions). These investments are presented by class and grade of security, as well as the length of time the related fair value has continuously remained below amortized cost.

The Company did not intend to sell, and more likely than not would not be required to sell, the securities outlined in the tables 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 risk-free interest rates and credit spreads.

During 2023, the Company modified ten mortgage loans for borrowers experiencing financial difficulty providing interest only payments and maturity extensions, two of which were paid in full as of December 31, 2023. The total recorded investment before allowance for credit losses for the remaining modified loans was $92 million as of December 31, 2023. During 2022, the company modified three mortgage loans to interest only payments, one of which was paid in full as of December 31, 2022. During 2022, the total recorded investment before allowance for credit losses for mortgage loans that were modified and met the criteria of Troubled Debt Restructuring (“TDR”) was $67 million. During 2021, the Company did not have any significant loans that were modified and met the criteria of a TDR.
The Company had one mortgage loan in the amount of $7 million on nonaccrual status as of December 31, 2023. The Company had two mortgage loans in the amount of $36 million that were on nonaccrual status as of December 31, 2022. During 2023, the Company converted three mortgage loans totaling $62 million at the time of foreclosure to owned properties as a result of foreclosures. The Company did not acquire any impaired mortgage loans during 2023, 2022 and 2021.
Policy Loans
The majority of policy loans are associated with one client. These policy loans present no credit risk as 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
As of December 31, 2023, $3.3 billion of the funds withheld at interest balance is primarily associated with two clients. For reinsurance agreements written on a modco 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. 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.
