Rating agency designations are based on the availability of ratings from Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organizations (“NRSROs”), including Moody’s Investors Service (“Moody’s”), Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services (“S&P”) and Fitch Ratings Ltd. (“Fitch”). The Company uses the median of available ratings from Moody’s, S&P and Fitch, or if fewer than three ratings are available, the lower rating is used. When ratings from Moody’s, S&P and Fitch are unavailable, the Company may utilize ratings from other NRSROs or rate the securities internally. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company’s internal analysts rated $508 million and $282 million, respectively, of securities using criteria similar to those used by NRSROs.

Index

The following tables summarize the fair value and gross unrealized losses on Available-for-Sale securities, aggregated by major investment type and the length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position for which no allowance for credit losses has been recorded:

As part of the Company’s ongoing monitoring process, management determined that the increase in gross unrealized loss on its Available-for-Sale securities for which an allowance for credit losses has not been recognized during the year ended December 31, 2024 is primarily attributable to higher interest rates. The Company did not recognize these unrealized losses in earnings because it was determined that such losses were due to non-credit factors. The Company does not intend to sell these securities and does not believe that it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell these securities before the anticipated recovery of the remaining amortized cost basis. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, approximately 97% and 96%, respectively, of the total of Available-for-Sale securities with gross unrealized losses were considered investment grade.
