______________________ (1)Comprising short-term certificates of deposit and commercial paper. (2)Does not include other invested assets of $2.6 million that are primarily invested in limited partnership investments valued using the net asset value as a practical expedient and $1.5 million invested in a private convertible promissory note. (3)Securities loaned to third-party borrowers under securities lending agreements are classified as other assets in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. See Note 6 for more information. At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we had a Level III asset of $5.5 million and $0.4 million, respectively, measured at fair value, included in other assets in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Level III asset represents the embedded derivatives associated with mortgage insurance-linked notes transactions in connection with our Excess-of-Loss Program, as described in Note 8. The total fair value of the embedded derivatives at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 consists of impacts related to the fair value accounting for derivatives associated with our reinsurance contracts and the related fluctuations from period to period. The estimated fair value related to our embedded derivatives reflects the present value impact of the future variation in premiums we will pay, and includes significant unobservable inputs associated with LIBOR rates and the yield on investments held by trust. There were no investment transfers to or from Level III for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 or the year ended December 31, 2019. Except for the activity related to the embedded derivatives described above, activity related to Level III assets and liabilities (including realized and unrealized gains and losses, purchases, sales, issuances, settlements and transfers) was immaterial for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and the year ended December 31, 2019. Other Fair Value Disclosure The carrying value and estimated fair value of other selected liabilities not carried at fair value in our condensed consolidated balance sheets were as follows as of the dates indicated:
| September 30, 2020 |  | December 31, 2019
(In thousands) | Carrying Amount |  | Estimated Fair Value |  | Carrying Amount |  | Estimated Fair Value
Liabilities: |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Senior notes | $ | 1,404,759 |  |  | $ | 1,450,590 |  |  | $ | 887,110 |  |  | $ | 949,500 |
FHLB advances | 141,058 |  |  | 144,280 |  |  | 134,875 |  |  | 135,997 |
The fair value of our senior notes is estimated based on their quoted market prices. The fair value of our FHLB advances is estimated based on expected cash flows for similar borrowings. These liabilities are categorized in Level II of the fair value hierarchy. See Note 12 for further information on our senior notes and FHLB advances.
