Investments [Abstract] |
Investments | Investments (a) Our HTM fixed income securities as of June 30, 2019 represented less than 1% of our total invested assets, down slightly compared to December 31, 2018. The carry value and net unrealized/unrecognized gains were $32.4 million and $1.6 million, respectively, at June 30, 2019, and $37.1 million and $1.3 million, respectively, at December 31, 2018. Included in the net unrealized/unrecognized gains were gross unrealized/unrecognized losses of $0.1 million at June 30, 2019 and $0.2 million at December 31, 2018. Unrecognized holding gains and losses of HTM securities are not reflected in the Financial Statements, as they represent fair value fluctuations from the date a security is designated as HTM through the date of the balance sheet. (b) Information regarding our AFS securities as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 was as follows:

Unrealized gains and losses of AFS securities represent fair value fluctuations from the later of: (i) the date a security is designated as AFS; or (ii) the date that an other-than-temporary impairment ("OTTI") charge is recognized on an AFS security, through the date of the balance sheet. These unrealized gains and losses are recorded in AOCI on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. (c) The severity of impairment on AFS securities in an unrealized/unrecognized loss position averaged approximately 1% of amortized cost at June 30, 2019 and approximately 2% at December 31, 2018.

1 Gross unrealized losses include non-OTTI unrealized amounts and OTTI losses recognized in AOCI. The decrease in the unrealized loss position was due to: (i) lower interest rates, with a 73-basis point decrease in 2-year U.S. Treasury Note yields and a 68-basis point decrease in 10-year U.S. Treasury Note yields during Six Months 2019; and (ii) tightening option adjusted corporate credit spreads, with a 38-basis point decrease in the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Corporate Bond Index during Six Months 2019. We do not currently intend to sell any of the securities in the tables above, nor will we be required to sell any of these securities. Considering these factors, and in accordance with our review of these securities under our OTTI policy, as described in Note 2. “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” within Item 8. “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.” of our 2018 Annual Report, we have concluded that they are temporarily impaired as we believe: (i) they will mature at par value; (ii) they have not incurred a credit impairment; and (iii) future values of these securities will fluctuate with changes in interest rates. This conclusion reflects our current judgment as to the financial position and future prospects of the entity that issued the investment security and underlying collateral. (d) Fixed income securities at June 30, 2019, by contractual maturity, are shown below. Mortgage-backed securities are included in the maturity tables using the estimated average life of each security. Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities because issuers may have the right to call or prepay obligations, with or without call or prepayment penalties. Listed below are the contractual maturities of fixed income securities at June 30, 2019:

1 The maximum exposure to loss includes both the carry value of these investments and the related remaining commitments. In addition, tax credits that have been previously recognized in Other securities are subject to the risk of recapture, which we do not consider significant. We are contractually committed to make additional investments up to the remaining commitments outlined above; however, we do not have a future obligation to fund losses or debts on behalf of these investments. We have not provided any non-contractual financial support at any time during 2019 or 2018. The following table sets forth gross summarized financial information for our other investments portfolio, including the portion not owned by us. The majority of these investments are carried under the equity method of accounting. The last line of the table below reflects our share of the aggregate income or loss, which is the portion included in our Financial Statements. As the majority of these investments report results to us on a one quarter lag, the summarized financial statement information for the three-month period ended March 31 is included in our Second Quarter results. This information is as follows:
