At September 30, 2023 , 3,386 fixed maturities (2022: 1,842) had been in a continuous unrealized loss position for twelve months or greater and had a fair value of $6,556 million (2022 : $3,615 million ). The unrealized loss es of $863 million (2022: $857 million) were due to non-credit factors and were expected to be recovered as the related securities approach maturity. At September 30, 2023, the Company did not intend to sell the securities in an unrealized loss position and it is more likely than not that the Company will not be required to sell these securities before the anticipated recovery of their amortized costs. b) Fixed Maturities, Held to Maturity The following table provides the amortized cost and fair values of the Company's fixed maturities classified as held to maturity: Amortized cost Allowance for expected credit losses Net carrying value Gross Gross unrealized losses Fair value At September 30, 2023 Held to maturity Corporate debt $ 90,200 $ — $ 90,200 $ — $ (12,779) $ 77,421 ABS (1) 622,640 — 622,640 41 (3,463) 619,218 Total fixed maturities, held to maturity $ 712,840 $ — $ 712,840 $ 41 $ (16,242) $ 696,639 At December 31, 2022 Held to maturity Corporate debt $ 85,200 $ — $ 85,200 $ — $ (11,428) $ 73,772 ABS (1) 613,151 — 613,151 — (12,180) 600,971 Total fixed maturities, held to maturity $ 698,351 $ — $ 698,351 $ — $ (23,608) $ 674,743 (1) Asset-backed securities ("ABS") include debt tranched securities collateralized primarily by collateralized loan obligations ("CLOs"). At September 30, 2023, fixed maturities, held to maturity of $713 million (2022: $698 million ) were presented net of an allowance for expected credit losse s of $nil (2022: $nil). The Company's ABS, held to maturity consist of CLO debt tranched securities. The Company uses a scenario-based approach to review its CLO debt portfolio and reviews subordination levels of these securities to determine their ability to absorb credit losses of the underlying collateral. If losses are forecast to be below the subordination level for a tranche held by the Company, the security is determined not to have a credit loss. At September 30, 2023, the allowance for credit losses expected to be recognized over the life of the Company's ABS, held to maturity w as $nil. To estimate expected credit losses for corporate debt securities, held to maturity, the Company's projected cash flows are primarily driven by assumptions regarding the severity of loss, which is a function of the probability of default and projected recovery rates. The Company's default and recovery rates are based on credit ratings, credit analysis and macroeconomic forecasts. At September 30, 2023, the allowance for credit losses expected to be recognized over the life of the Company's corporate debt, held to m aturity was $nil. Contractual Maturities ABS classified as held to maturity with a net carrying value of $623 million (2022: $613 million) do not have a single maturity date and cannot be allocated over several maturity groupings. Corpo rate debt classified as held to maturity with a net carrying value of $86 million (2022: $81 million) is due between 3 years and 10 years and corporate debt classified as held to maturity with a net carrying value of $4 million (2022: $4 million) is due after ten years. c) Equity Securities The following table provides the cost and fair values of the Company's equity securities: Cost Gross unrealized gains Gross unrealized losses Fair value At September 30, 2023 Equity securities Common stocks $ 3,130 $ 327 $ (407) $ 3,050 Preferred stocks 5,339 — (253) 5,086 Exchange-traded funds 191,711 85,115 (3,032) 273,794 Bond mutual funds 361,378 — (87,046) 274,332 Total equity securities $ 561,558 $ 85,442 $ (90,738) $ 556,262 At December 31, 2022 Equity securities Common stocks $ 7,279 $ 636 $ (442) $ 7,473 Preferred stocks 115 — (43) 72 Exchange-traded funds 207,505 68,058 (5,757) 269,806 Bond mutual funds 279,457 — (71,555) 207,902 Total equity securities $ 494,356 $ 68,694 $ (77,797) $ 485,253 d) Mortgage Loans The following table provides details of the Company's mortgage loans, held for investment: September 30, 2023 December 31, 2022 Carrying value % of Total Carrying value % of Total Mortgage loans, held for investment: Commercial $ 614,456 101 % $ 627,437 100 % Allowance for expected credit losses (4,179) (1 %) — — % Total mortgage loans, held for investment $ 610,277 100 % $ 627,437 100 % The primary credit quality indicators for commercial mortgage loans are the debt service coverage ratio which compares a property’s net operating income to amounts needed to service the principal and interest due under the loan, (generally, the lower the debt service coverage ratio, the higher the risk of experiencing a credit loss) and the loan-to-value ratio which compares the unpaid principal balance of the loan to the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral (generally, the higher the loan-to-value ratio, the higher the risk of experiencing a credit loss). The debt service coverage ratio and loan-to-value ratio, as well as the values utilized in calculating these ratios, are updated quarterly. The Company has a high quality mortgage loan portfolio with a weighted average debt service coverage ratio of 1.9x (2022: 2.3x) and a weighted average loan-to-value ratio of 68% (2022: 60%). At September 30, 2023, and 2022 there were no past due amounts associated with the commercial mortgage loans held by the Company. On a quarterly basis, collateral dependent mortgage loans (e.g., when the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, including when foreclosure is reasonably possible or probable) are evaluated individually for credit losses. The allowance for expected credit losses for a collateral dependent loan is established as the excess of amortized cost over the estimated fair value of the loan's underlying collateral, less selling cost when foreclosure is probable. Accordingly, the change in the estimated fair value of collateral dependent loans, which are evaluated individually for credit losses, is recognized as a change in the allowance for expected credit losses which is recorded in net investment gains (losses). At September 30, 2023, there are two collateral dependent loans with estimated loan-to-value ratios in excess of 100%, resulting in an allowance for expected credit loss of $4 million. e) Other Investments The following table provides a summary of the Company's other investments, together with additional information relating to the liquidity of each category: Fair value % of Total Redemption frequency (if currently eligible) Redemption notice period At September 30, 2023 Multi-strategy funds $ 25,465 3 % Quarterly 60-90 days Direct lending funds 229,235 24 % Quarterly (1) 90 days Private equity funds 283,838 30 % n/a n/a Real estate funds 307,177 32 % Quarterly (2) , Annually (3) 45-90 days CLO-Equities 4,684 — % n/a n/a Other privately held investments 104,172 11 % n/a n/a Total other investments $ 954,571 100 % At December 31, 2022 Multi-strategy funds $ 32,616 3 % Quarterly 60-90 days Direct lending funds 258,626 26 % Quarterly (1) 90 days Private equity funds 265,836 27 % n/a n/a Real estate funds 298,499 30 % Quarterly (2) , Annually (3) 45-90 days CLO-Equities 5,016 — % n/a n/a Other privately held investments 136,158 14 % n/a n/a Total other investments $ 996,751 100 % n/a - not applicable (1) Applies to one fund with a fair va lue of $22 million (2022: $39 million). (2) Applies to one fund with a fair value of $67 million (2022: $73 million ). (3) Applies to one fund with a fair value of $24 million (2022: $27 million ). Two common redemption restrictions which may impact the Company's ability to redeem hedge funds are gates and lockups. A gate is a suspension of redemptions which may be implemented by the general partner or investment manager of the fund in order to defer, in whole or in part, the redemption request in the event the aggregate amount of redemption requests exceeds a predetermined percentage of the fund's net assets which may otherwise hinder the general partner or investment manager's ability to liquidate holdings in an orderly fashion in order to generate the cash necessary to fund extraordinarily large redemption payouts. A lockup period is the initial amount of time an investor is contractually required to hold the security before having the ability to redeem. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, neither of these restrictions impacted the Company's redemption requests. At September 30, 2023, there w ere no hedg e fund holdings (2022: $nil) where the Company is still within the lockup period. At September 30, 2023, the Company h ad $28 million (2022: $26 million) of unfunded commitments as a limited partner in multi-strategy hedge funds. Once the full amount of committed capital has been called by the General Partner of each of these funds, the assets will not be fully returned until after the completion of the funds' investment term. These funds have investment terms ranging from two years to the dissolution of the underlying fund. At September 30, 2023, the Company had $191 million (2022: $183 million) of unfunded commitments as a limited partner in direct lending funds. Once the full amount of committed capital has been called by the General Partner of each of these funds, the assets will not be fully returned until the completion of the fund's investment term. These funds have investment terms ranging from four At September 30, 2023, the Company had $153 million (2022: $158 million) of unfunded commitments as a limited partner in private equity funds. The life of the funds is subject to the dissolution of the underlying funds. The Company expects the overall holding period to be over six years. At September 30, 2023, the Company had $119 million (2022: $141 million) of unfunded commitments as a limited partner in real estate funds. These funds include an open-ended fund and funds with investment terms ranging from two years to the dissolution of the underlying fund. At September 30, 2023, the Company had $15 million (2022: $16 million) of unfunded commitments as a limited partner in two early-stage venture capital funds focusing on financial services technology with an emphasis on insurance technology. These funds have investment terms of 5 years. f) Equity Method Investments During May 2023, the Company paid $11 million to acquire 18% of the common equity of Monarch Point Re (ISAC) Ltd. and Monarch Point Re (ISA 2023) Ltd., a collateralized reinsurance company formed under the laws of Bermuda as an incorporated segregated accounts company under the Incorporated Segregated Accounts Companies Act 2019, as amended (the “ISAC Act”). Monarch Point Re is an independent reinsurer jointly sponsored by the Company and Stone Point Credit, LLC ("Stone Point"). The Company will retrocede a diversified portfolio of casualty reinsurance business to Monarch Point Re and Stone Point will serve as its investment manager. The Company expects to benefit from underwriting fees generated by Monarch Point Re and the income and capital appreciation Stone Point seeks to deliver through its investment management services. Monarch Point Re is not a Variable Interest Entity ("VIE") that is required to be included in the Company's consolidated financial statements. The Company accounts for its ownership interest in Monarch Point Re under the equity method of accounting. During 2016, the Company paid $108 million including direct transaction costs to acquire 19% of the common equity of Harrington Reinsurance Holdings Limited ("Harrington"), the parent company of Harrington Re Ltd. ("Harrington Re"), an independent reinsurance company jointly sponsored by the Company and The Blackstone Group L.P. ("Blackstone"). Through long-term service agreements, the Company will serve as Harrington Re's reinsurance underwriting manager and Blackstone will serve as exclusive investment management service provider. As an investor, the Company expects to benefit from underwriting profit generated by Harrington Re and the income and capital appreciation Blackstone seeks to deliver through its investment management services. In addition, the Company has entered into an arrangement with Blackstone under which underwriting and investment related fees will be shared equally. Harrington is not a Variable Interest Entity ("VIE") that is required to be included in the Company's consolidated financial statements. The Company accounts for its ownership interest in Harrington under the equity method of accounting. The Company's proportionate share of the underlying equity in net assets resulted in a basis difference of $5 million which represents initial transactions costs. g) Variable Interest Entities In the normal course of investing activities, the Company actively manages allocations to non-controlling tranches of structured securities which are variable interests issued by Variable Interest Entities ("VIEs"). These structured securities include RMBS, CMBS and ABS. The Company also invests in limited partnerships which represent 75% of the Company's other investments. The investments in limited partnerships include hedge funds, direct lending funds, private equity funds and real estate funds and CLO equity tranched securities, which are variable interests issued by VIEs (refer to Note 3(e) ' Other Investments '). The Company does not have the power to direct the activities that are most significant to the economic performance of these VIEs. Therefore, the Company is not the primary beneficiary of these VIEs. The maximum exposure to loss on these interests is limited to the amount of commitment made by the Company. The Company has not provided financial or other support to these structured securities other than the original investment. h) Net Investment Income Net investment income was derived from the following sources: Three months ended September 30, Nine months ended September 30, 2023 2022 2023 2022 Fixed maturities $ 133,006 $ 87,364 $ 375,659 $ 224,780 Other investments 312 (7,576) (4,543) 32,801 Equity securities 3,050 2,490 8,495 7,349 Mortgage loans 8,892 6,256 26,158 15,323 Cash and cash equivalents 14,465 5,350 35,638 10,147 Short-term investments 2,195 1,004 5,984 1,571 Gross investment income 161,920 94,888 447,391 291,971 Investment expenses (7,719) (6,711) (22,589) (20,227) Net investment income $ 154,201 $ 88,177 $ 424,802 $ 271,744 i) Net Investment Gains (Losses) The following table provides an analysis of net investment gains (losses): Three months ended September 30, Nine months ended September 30, 2023 2022 2023 2022 Gross realized investment gains Fixed maturities and short-term investments $ 4,143 $ 1,095 $ 27,973 $ 11,390 Equity securities 8,433 6,997 9,968 6,997 Gross realized investment gains 12,576 8,092 37,941 18,387 Gross realized investment losses Fixed maturities and short-term investments (31,390) (100,021) (128,733) (249,514) Equity securities (4) (178) (400) (403) Gross realized investment losses (31,394) (100,199) (129,133) (249,917) (Increase) decrease in allowance for expected credit losses, fixed maturities, available for sale 1,618 (3,210) 2,800 (10,191) (Increase) decrease in allowance for expected credit losses, mortgage loans (541) — (4,179) — Impairment losses (1) (41) (6,491) (9,124) (7,074) Change in fair value of investment derivatives (2) 1,692 4,400 218 11,463 Net unrealized gains (losses) on equity securities (37,024) (49,050) 3,806 (176,899) Net investment losses $ (53,114) $ (146,458) $ (97,671) $ (414,231) (1) Related to instances where the Company intends to sell securities or it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell securities before their anticipated recovery.
