Investment | Investments The amortized cost and fair values by type and contractual maturity of fixed income securities are shown in the following tables. Expected maturities will differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

As part of its assessment of credit losses, the Company considers whether it intends to sell or is more likely than not required to sell securities, principally in consideration of its asset and liability maturity matching objectives. No investment impairment losses were recorded in the third quarter or the nine months ended September 30, 2024. Net realized investment gains (losses) in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 included impairment charges of $6.2 primarily related to the Company's intent to sell and subsequent disposal of fixed income securities to facilitate certain structural changes to a deferred compensation plan as well as a small credit loss. The Company's allowance for credit losses was $1.6 as of both September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The following table shows cost and fair value information for equity securities: Equity Securities Cost Gross Gross Fair Value September 30, 2024 $ 1,408.3 $ 1,268.5 $ 8.3 $ 2,668.4 December 31, 2023 $ 1,511.9 $ 1,164.7 $ 15.7 $ 2,660.8 For the quarter, changes in the fair value of equity securities still held at September 30, 2024 and 2023 were $210.8 and $(100.2), respectively. For the first nine months, changes in the fair value of equity securities still held at September 30, 2024 and 2023 were $308.1 and $(69.9), respectively. Fair Value Measurements - Fair value is defined as the estimated price that is likely to be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants (an exit price) at the measurement date. A fair value hierarchy is established that prioritizes the sources (inputs) used to measure fair value into three broad levels: • Level 1 inputs are based on quoted market prices in active markets; • Level 2 observable inputs are based on corroboration with available market data; and • Level 3 unobservable inputs are based on uncorroborated market data or a reporting entity's own assumptions. The following is a description of the valuation methodologies and general classification used for financial instruments measured at fair value. The Company uses quoted values and other data provided by nationally recognized independent pricing sources as inputs into its quarterly process for determining fair values of fixed income and equity securities. To validate the techniques or models used by pricing sources, the Company's review process includes, but is not limited to: (i) initial and ongoing evaluation of methodologies used by outside parties to calculate fair value; and (ii) comparisons with other sources including the fair value estimates based on current market quotations, and with independent fair value estimates provided by the independent investment custodian. Independent pricing sources obtain market quotations and actual transaction prices for securities that have quoted prices in active markets and use their own proprietary method for determining the fair value of securities that are not actively traded. In general, these methods involve the use of "matrix pricing" in which the independent pricing source uses observable market inputs including, but not limited to, investment yields, credit risks and spreads, benchmarking of like securities, broker-dealer quotes, reported trades and sector groupings to determine a reasonable fair value. Level 1 securities include U.S. and Canadian Treasury notes, publicly traded common stocks, mutual funds, and short-term investments in highly liquid money market instruments. Level 2 securities generally include corporate bonds, municipal bonds, and certain U.S. and Canadian government agency securities. Securities classified within Level 3 include non-publicly traded bonds and equity securities. There were no significant changes in the fair value of Level 3 assets as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The following tables show a summary of the fair value of financial assets segregated among the various input levels described above: Fair Value Measurements As of September 30, 2024: Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Fixed income securities: Government & Agency $ 1,417.0 $ 287.3 $ — $ 1,704.4 Municipal — 631.9 — 631.9 Corporate — 10,120.5 19.5 10,140.1 Short-term investments 1,317.6 — — 1,317.6 Equity securities $ 2,666.3 $ — $ 2.0 $ 2,668.4 As of December 31, 2023: Fixed income securities: Government & Agency $ 1,379.8 $ 479.1 $ — $ 1,858.9 Municipal — 767.6 — 767.6 Corporate — 9,493.7 19.5 9,513.3 Short-term investments 1,032.6 — — 1,032.6 Equity securities $ 2,653.8 $ — $ 7.0 $ 2,660.8 There were no transfers between Levels 1, 2 or 3 during the quarter or nine months ended September 30, 2024.
