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. The decrease in gross unrealized losses during Six Months 2021 was driven by an increase in longer-dated benchmark United States Treasury rates, partially offset by the tightening of credit spreads. Considering these factors and our review of these securities under our credit loss policy as described in Note 2. "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" in Item 8. "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data." of our 2020 Annual Report, we have concluded that no allowance for credit loss is required on these balances. 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. (c) Fixed income securities at June 30, 2021 are summarized below by contractual maturity. 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.

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 stated above, but we do not have a material 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 2021 or 2020. The following table shows gross summarized financial information for our other investments portfolio, including the portion we do not own. The majority of these investments are carried under the equity method of accounting and report results to us on a one-quarter lag. The following table provides (i) the gross summarized financial statement information for these investments for the three and six-months ended March 31, and (ii) the portion of these results that are included in our Second Quarter and Six Months results:

Additionally, to comply with insurance laws, certain Insurance Subsidiaries have deposited certain securities with various state and regulatory agencies at June 30, 2021. We retain all rights regarding all securities pledged as collateral. The following table summarizes the market value of these securities at June 30, 2021:

The increase in net investment income earned in Second Quarter 2021 and Six Months 2021 compared to the prior year periods were driven by the alternative investments in our other investments portfolio. The results reflect the improvement in the equity markets in the three and six-month periods ending March 31, 2021, as our results on these holdings are recorded on a one-quarter lag.

The improvement in net realized and unrealized gains in Six Months 2021 as compared to Six Months 2020 was primarily driven by (i) unrealized gains on our equity securities compared to unrealized losses last year, which were driven by COVID-19-related market disruption, and (ii) lower intent-to-sell losses as we provided our investment managers significant trading flexibility last year given market conditions.
