In reaching this determination, the Company considered the volatility in risk-free rates and credit spreads as well as the fact that its unrealized losses are concentrated in investment grade issuers. Additionally, the Company has no current intent to sell securities with unrealized losses, nor is it more likely than not that it will be required to sell prior to recovery of amortized cost; accordingly, the Company has determined that there are no additional impairment losses to be recorded as of September 30, 2024. The following tables present the activity related to the allowance on available-for-sale securities with credit impairments and purchased credit-deteriorated (PCD) assets. Accrued interest receivable on available-for-sale fixed maturity securities totaled $451 million, $435 million, and $430 million as of September 30, 2024, December 31, 2023, and September 30, 2023 and is excluded from the estimate of expected credit losses and the amortized cost basis in the tables included within this Note.

Securities not due at a single date are allocated based on weighted average life. Investment Commitments As part of its overall investment strategy, the Company invests in various assets which require future purchase, sale or funding commitments. These investments are recorded once funded, and the related commitments may include future capital calls from various third-party limited partnerships, signed and accepted mortgage loan applications, and obligations related to private placement securities. As of September 30, 2024, the Company had commitments to purchase or fund approximately $1,645 million and sell approximately $90 million under the terms of these investments. Related Party Investment During the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Company invested in a commercial mortgage-backed securitization whose underlying mortgage loan is an obligation of an affiliate of Loews that matures in September of 2034. The Company purchased $50 million of par at issuance across three separate investment grade tranches of the $305 million securitization. The Company's position in this commercial mortgage-backed securitization is included in the Fixed maturity securities at fair value line on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and was $52 million as of September 30, 2024. The Company recognized less than $1 million of income in Net investment income related to this investment during the three months ended September 30, 2024.
