The Company reviewed the above securities at each balance sheet date to consider whether it was necessary to recognize a credit loss related to any of these securities. Based on the review, no allowance for credit losses was recorded as of December 31, 2025. An allowance for credit losses of $0.2 million was recorded pertaining to one investment security as of December 31, 2024. For the remaining securities, the Company determined that the fixed maturity securities’ unrealized losses were primarily the result of the interest rate environment and not the credit quality of the issuers. The Company does not intend to sell the investments and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the investments before the recovery of their amortized cost basis. Contractual maturities of available‑for‑sale fixed maturity securities The amortized cost and fair value of fixed maturity securities at December 31, 2025, by contractual maturity, are shown below.

Realized gains and losses on disposition of investments are based on specific identification of the investments sold on the settlement date. Proceeds from the sale of fixed maturity securities were $28.0 million, $6.3 million, and $10.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2025, proceeds from the sale of equity securities were $6.4 million. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, proceeds from the sale of equity securities were immaterial. The Company places securities on statutory deposit with certain state agencies to retain the right to do business in those states. These securities are included in available‑for‑sale investments on the consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the carrying value of securities on deposit with state regulatory authorities was $13.5 million and $9.9 million, respectively. The Company has investments in limited partnerships, recorded in the Other investments line of the Consolidated Balance Sheets. These investments represent capital contributions to private equity funds structured as limited partnerships, which primarily hold illiquid securities. The funds have a ten-year term with no redemption rights. Capital is contributed as called by the general partners, and distributions are received as proceeds are generated from the underlying investments. These investments are measured at estimated fair value utilizing a net asset value per share (or its equivalent) as a practical expedient. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had unfunded commitments to invest an additional $124.3 million in these limited partnerships.
