The cost basis of fixed maturity securities available for sale includes an adjustment for amortized premium or discount and other-than-temporary-impairment recognized in earnings since the date of purchase.
As of September 30, 2019 the fixed maturity securities in our investment portfolio had a maturity of greater than one year but less than five years. Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities because certain borrowers have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.
Net unrealized losses on investment securities and the fair value of the related securities, aggregated by investment category and length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 were as follows (in millions):

During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the three months ended September 30, 2018, and the nine months ended September 30, 2018 we incurred $0.4 million, $9.5 million and $9.5 million, respectively, of other-than-temporary impairment charges relating to corporate debt securities which is included in Realized gains, net on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The impairment recorded relates to corporate debt holdings of one investee which have experienced a prolonged period of declining earnings and which we are uncertain of our ability to recover our initial investment. All of the loss represents credit loss recognized in earnings and no portion of the loss was included in other comprehensive earnings. During the three months ended September 30, 2019 we incurred no other-than-temporary impairment charges relating to investment securities.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we sold equity securities for gross proceeds of $17.7 million, resulting in realized gains of less than $0.1 million.
As of September 30, 2019, we held corporate debt securities with a fair value of $2.2 million for which an other-than-temporary impairment had been previously recognized. It is possible that future events may lead us to recognize potential future impairment losses related to our investment portfolio and that unanticipated future events may lead us to dispose of certain investment holdings and recognize the effects of any market movements in our results of operations.

Dun & Bradstreet
On February 8, 2019, we closed on our previously announced acquisition of DNB (the "DNB Acquisition"). The DNB Acquisition was financed through a combination of $2.1 billion of common equity financing provided to DNB's ultimate parent and acquirer Star Parent, L.P. ("Star") by a consortium of investors including Cannae and various other investors, $1.1 billion of preferred equity in a wholly-owned subsidiary of Star from various sources and $4.0 billion of debt financing from various lenders. The proceeds were used by Star and its subsidiaries to purchase DNB (collectively with Star and its subsidiaries, "Dun & Bradstreet") .
Of our previously disclosed $900.0 million commitment to purchase common equity of Star, we retained and funded a $505.6 million investment (the "Dun & Bradstreet Investment"), representing 24.5% of the outstanding common equity of Dun & Bradstreet, and syndicated the remainder to other investors. We funded the Dun & Bradstreet Investment through a combination of cash on hand and borrowings on the Margin Loan and FNF Revolver (each, as defined below in Note F). On the closing date, we recorded income of $9.1 million for syndication fees from DNB which is recorded in Other income in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. We also recorded a reduction in our investment of $2.9 million for our ratable portion of the syndication fees capitalized as equity issuance costs by Dun & Bradstreet.
In April and August 2019, we syndicated an additional $2.6 million and $0.5 million, respectively, of our Dun & Bradstreet Investment to other investors. The syndications resulted in a reduction in the Company's ownership to 24.3% of the outstanding common equity of Dun & Bradstreet.
On June 27, 2019, we made an additional pro-rata investment of $23.5 million in Dun & Bradstreet. Dun & Bradstreet used the proceeds to partially fund its acquisition of Lattice (see Note A).
Summarized financial information for Dun & Bradstreet for the relevant dates and time periods included in Investments in unconsolidated affiliates and Equity in earnings (losses) of unconsolidated affiliates in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and Statements of Operations, respectively, is presented below.
We historically reported our equity in earnings or loss of Dun & Bradstreet on a one quarter lag. In the third quarter of 2019 we began receiving financial information from Dun & Bradstreet timely and recording our equity in its losses on a real-time basis. Accordingly, our net earnings for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2019, include the Company’s equity in Dun & Bradstreet’s losses for the period from July 1, 2019 through September 30, 2019 and February 8, 2019 through September 30, 2019, respectively. See Note A for further information on the impact of the change in accounting principle.
