As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we held SOFR futures contracts with a long notional position of $1.0 billion and $0.9 billion, respectively, measured on a two-year swap equivalent basis, with a net carrying value of $(5) million and $(10) million, respectively. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we held centrally cleared credit default swaps ("CDS") with a notional value of $96 million and $95 million, respectively, that reference the Markit CDX Investment Grade or High Yield Grade Index, maturing in June 2029 and December 2028, respectively. Under the terms of these contracts, we make fixed periodic payments equal to 1% per annum of the notional value and we are entitled to receive payments in the event of qualifying credit events. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the credit default swaps had a market value of $(7) million and $(6) million, respectively, and a carrying value of zero dollars, net of variation margin settlements. Pursuant to rules governing central clearing activities, we recognize variation margin settlements as a direct reduction of the carrying value of the CDS asset or liability.
