Of these securities in an unrealized loss position, there were 26 securities in our portfolio that have been in an unrealized loss position for twelve months or greater with a fair value of $103,992 and unrealized losses of $5,488. Allowance for Expected Credit Losses & Non-Credit Related Impairment Costs The Company evaluates AFS securities for impairment when fair value is below amortized cost on a quarterly basis. If the Company intends to sell or will be required to sell the security before its anticipated recovery, the full amount of the impairment loss is charged to net income (loss) and included in net investment gains (losses). If the Company does not intend to sell or will not be required to sell the security before its anticipated recovery, an allowance for expected credit losses is established and the portion of the loss relating to credit factors is recorded in net income (loss). The non-credit impairment amount of the loss (which could be related to interest rates and/or market conditions) is recognized in other comprehensive income. To estimate the allowance for expected credit losses for most of the AFS securities, the Company analyzes projected cash flows which are primarily driven by assumptions regarding loss severity, probability of default and projected recovery rates. The Company's determination of default and loss severity rates are based on credit rating, credit analysis and macroeconomic forecasts. Unrealized losses on securities issued or backed, either explicitly or implicitly by the U.S. government are not analyzed for credit losses. The Company has concluded that any possibility of a credit loss on these securities is highly unlikely due to the explicit U.S. government guarantee related to certain securities (e.g., Government National Mortgage Association issuances) and the implicit guarantee related to other securities that has been validated by past actions (e.g., U.S. government bailout of Federal National Mortgage Association and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation during the 2008 credit crisis). Although these securities are not analyzed for credit losses, they are evaluated for impairment based on the Company's intention to sell and likely requirement to sell. Based on the Company's analysis at June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, the Company did not recognize any impairment on its AFS fixed maturity securities as the Company expects the amortized cost basis will ultimately be recovered based on projected cash flows as the related securities approach maturity. The Company continues to monitor the credit quality of the AFS securities to assess if it is probable that it will receive contractual or estimated cash flows in the form of principal and interest. Therefore, as the unrealized losses were due to non-credit factors, there was no allowance recorded for expected credit losses on AFS securities for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. 4.

These restrictions may include lock-ups, redemption gates, restricted share classes, restrictions on the frequency of redemption and notice periods. A gate is the ability to deny or delay a redemption request. Certain other investments and equity method investments may not have any restrictions governing their sale, but there is no active market and no guarantee that we will be able to execute a sale in a timely manner. In addition, even if certain other investments and equity method investments are not eligible for redemption or sales are restricted, the Company may still receive income distributions from those investments.

Please see "Note 5(d). Fair Value Measurements" for additional information regarding this investment. 4. Investments (continued) Equity Securities Equity securities include publicly traded equity investments in common stocks and privately held equity investments in common and preferred stocks. The Company's publicly traded equity investments in common stocks trade on major exchanges. The Company's privately held equity investments in common and preferred stocks are direct investments in companies that the Company believes offer attractive risk adjusted returns or offer other strategic advantages. Each investment may have its own unique terms and conditions and there may be restrictions on disposals. There is no active market for these 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. T he Company is deemed to have limited influence over the operating and financial policies of the investee and accordingly, these investments are reported under the equity method of accounting. In applying the equity method of accounting, the investments are initially recorded at cost and are subsequently adjusted based on the Company’s proportionate share of the investee's net income or loss. Generally, the maximum exposure to loss on these interests is limited to the amount of commitment made by the Company as more fully described in "Note 11 - Commitments, Contingencies and Guarantees" in these condensed consolidated financial statements. c) Net Investment Income Net investment income was derived from the following sources for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022: For the Three Months Ended June 30, For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2023 2022 2023 2022 Fixed maturities $ 2,780 $ 2,161 $ 5,198 $ 4,815 Income on funds withheld 3,187 3,513 6,522 6,137 Interest income from loan to related party 2,927 1,158 5,625 2,037 Cash and cash equivalents and other investments 1,813 989 3,006 1,582 10,707 7,821 20,351 14,571 Investment expenses (189) (154) (288) (337) Net investment income $ 10,518 $ 7,667 $ 20,063 $ 14,234 4.
