Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] |
INVESTMENTS IN VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES | INVESTMENTS IN VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES We have concluded that we are the primary beneficiary with respect to certain VIEs, which are consolidated in our financial statements. In consolidating the VIEs, we consistently use the financial information most recently distributed to investors in the VIE. All of our consolidated VIEs are collateralized loan trusts that were established to issue securities to finance the purchase of commercial bank loans and other permitted investments. The assets held by the trusts are legally isolated and not available to the Company. The liabilities of the VIEs are expected to be satisfied from the cash flows generated by the underlying loans held by the trusts, not from the assets of the Company. The Company has no financial obligation to the VIEs beyond its investment in each VIE. Interest expense of $3.8 million and $7.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, was recognized related to total borrowings related to the VIEs. Certain of our subsidiaries are note holders of the VIEs. Another subsidiary of the Company is the investment manager for the VIEs. As such, it has the power to direct the most significant activities of the VIEs which materially impacts the economic performance of the VIEs. The following tables provide supplemental information about the assets and liabilities of the VIEs which have been consolidated in accordance with authoritative guidance (dollars in millions):

The investment portfolios held by the VIEs are primarily comprised of commercial bank loans to corporate obligors which are almost entirely rated below-investment grade. At March 31, 2026, such loans had an amortized cost of $292.1 million; gross unrealized gains of $0.3 million; gross unrealized losses of $4.0 million; allowance for credit losses of $1.0 million; and an estimated fair value of $287.4 million. The following table summarizes changes in the allowance for credit losses related to corporate securities held by VIEs (dollars in millions):
| Three months ended |  |
| March 31, |  |
| 2026 |  | 2025 |  |  |  |
Allowance at the beginning of the period | $ | 0.6 |  |  | $ | 1.3 |  |  |  |  |
Additions for securities for which credit losses were not previously recorded | 0.1 |  |  | 0.9 |  |  |  |  |
Additions (reductions) for securities where an allowance was previously recorded | 0.4 |  |  | 0.8 |  |  |  |  |
Reduction for securities disposed during the period | (0.1) |  |  | (0.5) |  |  |  |  |
Allowance at the end of the period | $ | 1.0 |  |  | $ | 2.5 |  |  |  |  |
The following table sets forth the amortized cost and estimated fair value of the investments held by the VIEs at March 31, 2026, by contractual maturity. Actual maturities will differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without penalties.
| Amortized cost |  | Estimated fair value
| (Dollars in millions)
Due after one year through five years | $ | 134.1 |  |  | $ | 131.6 |
Due after five years through ten years | 158.0 |  |  | 155.8 |
Total | $ | 292.1 |  |  | $ | 287.4 |
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the VIEs recognized net investment losses of $1.3 million, which were comprised of: (i) $0.9 million of net losses from the sales of fixed maturities and (ii) an increase in the allowance for credit losses of $0.4 million. Such net realized losses included gross realized losses of $0.9 million from the sale of $5.1 million of investments. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the VIEs recognized net investment losses of $3.5 million which were comprised of: (i) $2.2 million of net losses from the sales of fixed maturities and (ii) an increase in the allowance for credit losses of $1.3 million. Such net realized losses included gross realized losses of $2.4 million from the sale of $47.1 million of investments. At March 31, 2026, there were no fixed maturity investments held by the VIEs in default. At March 31, 2026, the VIEs held: (i) investments (for which an allowance for credit losses has not been recorded) with a fair value of $89.2 million and gross unrealized losses not deemed to have credit losses of $1.4 million that had been in an unrealized loss position for less than twelve months, and (ii) investments (for which an allowance for credit losses has not been recorded) with a fair value of $84.1 million and gross unrealized losses of $2.1 million that had been in an unrealized loss position for greater than twelve months. At December 31, 2025, the VIEs held: (i) investments (for which an allowance for credit losses has not been recorded) with a fair value of $86.7 million and gross unrealized losses of $0.9 million that had been in an unrealized loss position for less than twelve months; and (ii) investments (for which an allowance for credit losses has not been recorded) with a fair value of $34.2 million and gross unrealized losses of $0.3 million that had been in an unrealized loss position for greater than twelve months. The investments held by the VIEs are evaluated for impairment in a manner that is consistent with the Company's fixed maturities, available for sale. In addition, the Company, in the normal course of business, makes passive investments in structured securities issued by non-consolidated VIEs for which the Company is not the investment manager. These structured securities include asset-backed securities, collateralized loan obligations, commercial mortgage-backed securities, agency residential mortgage-backed securities and non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities. Our maximum exposure to loss on these securities is limited to our cost basis in the investment. We have determined that we are not the primary beneficiary of these structured securities due to the relative size of our investment in comparison to the total principal amount of the individual structured securities and the level of credit subordination which reduces our obligation to absorb gains or losses. At March 31, 2026, we held investments of $763.5 million in various limited partnerships and limited liability companies, in which we are not the primary beneficiary. These investments are included within other invested assets on the consolidated balance sheet and typically reported to us one quarter in arrears. At March 31, 2026, we had unfunded commitments to these partnerships totaling $662.3 million. Our maximum exposure to loss on these investments is limited to the amount of our investment and any unfunded commitments.
