As of September 30, 2015, the Company held $12,056,020 in fixed maturity securities with unrealized losses of $145,469. As of December 31, 2014, the Company held $14,166,991 in fixed maturity securities with unrealized losses of $146,383. The decline in fair value of the fixed maturity securities can be attributed primarily to changes in market interest rates and changes in credit spreads over Treasury securities. Because the Company does not have the intent to sell these securities and will likely not be compelled to sell them before it can recover its cost basis, the Company does not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired. As of September 30, 2015, the Company held $4,429,197 in equity securities with unrealized losses of $724,277. As of December 31, 2014, the Company held $1,071,488 in equity securities with unrealized losses of $99,231. The unrealized losses related to holdings of equity securities were caused by market changes that the Company considers to be temporary. Since the Company has the intent and ability to hold these equity securities until a recovery of fair value, the Company does not consider these investments other-than-temporarily impaired. Factors considered in determining whether a loss is temporary include the length of time and extent to which fair value has been below cost, the financial condition and prospects of the issuer (including credit ratings and analyst reports) and macro-economic changes. A total of 35 and 25 securities had unrealized losses at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. Reviews of the values of securities are inherently uncertain and the value of the investment may not fully recover, or may decline in future periods resulting in a realized loss. The Company recorded other-than-temporary impairment charges for debt and equity investments in the amount of $668,904 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and no other-than-temporary impairment charges for debt and equity investments for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. Other-than-temporary impairment charges are included in net realized (loss) gain on investments in the Consolidated Statements of Income.
