The fair value, gross unrealized losses (in millions) and number of fixed maturity AFS securities where the fair value had declined and remained below amortized cost by greater than 20% were as follows: As of March 31, 2021 Gross Number Fair Unrealized of Value Losses Securities (1) Less than six months $ 50 $ 16 10 Six months or greater, but less than nine months 52 23 4 Nine months or greater, but less than twelve months 1 1 3 Twelve months or greater 27 8 28 Total $ 130 $ 48 45 As of December 31, 2020 Gross Number Fair Unrealized of Value Losses Securities (1) Less than six months $ 63 $ 23 14 Six months or greater, but less than nine months 2 1 4 Nine months or greater, but less than twelve months 23 7 14 Twelve months or greater 30 11 20 Total $ 118 $ 42 52 (1) We may reflect a security in more than one aging category based on various purchase dates. Our gross unrealized losses on fixed maturity AFS securities increased by $ 605 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. As discussed further below, we believe the unrealized loss position as of March 31, 2021, did not require an impairment recognized in earnings as (i) we did not intend to sell these fixed maturity AFS securities; (ii) it is not more likely than not that we will be required to sell the fixed maturity AFS securities before recovery of their amortized cost basis; and (iii) the difference in the fair value compared to the amortized cost was due to factors other than credit loss. Based upon this evaluation as of March 31, 2021, management believes we have the ability to generate adequate amounts of cash from our normal operations (e.g., insurance premiums, fee income and investment income) to meet cash requirements with a prudent margin of safety without requiring the sale of our impaired securities. As of March 31, 2021, the unrealized losses associated with our corporate bond, U.S. government bond, state and municipal bond and foreign government bond securities were attributable primarily to widening credit spreads and rising interest rates since purchase. We performed a detailed analysis of the financial performance of the underlying issuers and determined that we expected to recover the entire amortized cost of each impaired security. Credit ratings express opinions about the credit quality of a security. Securities rated investment grade (those rated BBB- or higher by S&P Global Ratings (“S&P”) or Baa3 or higher by Moody’s Investors Service (“Moody’s”)) are generally considered by the rating agencies and market participants to be low credit risk. As of March 31, 2021, and December 31, 2020, 96 % of the fair value of our corporate bond portfolio was rated investment grade. As of March 31, 2021, and December 31, 2020, the portion of our corporate bond portfolio rated below investment grade had an amortized cost of $ 4.0 billion and $ 4.1 billion, respectively, and a fair value of $ 4.1 billion and $ 4.2 billion, respectively. Based upon the analysis discussed above, we believe that as of March 31, 2021, and December 31, 2020, we would have recovered the amortized cost of each corporate bond. As of March 31, 2021, the unrealized losses associated with our mortgage-backed securities and ABS were attributable primarily to widening credit spreads and rising interest rates since purchase. We assessed for credit impairment using a cash flow model that incorporates key assumptions including default rates, severities and prepayment rates. We estimated losses for a security by forecasting the underlying loans in each transaction. The forecasted loan performance was used to project cash flows to the various tranches in the structure, as applicable. Our forecasted cash flows also considered, as applicable, independent industry analyst reports and forecasts and other independent market data. Based upon our assessment of the expected credit losses of the security given the performance of the underlying collateral compared to our subordination or other credit enhancement, we expected to recover the entire amortized cost of each impaired security. As of March 31, 2021, the unrealized losses associated with our hybrid and redeemable preferred securities were attributable primarily to wider credit spreads caused by illiquidity in the market and subordination within the capital structure, as well as credit risk of underlying issuers. For our hybrid and redeemable preferred securities, we evaluated the financial performance of the underlying issuers based upon credit performance and investment ratings and determined that we expected to recover the entire amortized cost of each impaired security. Credit Loss Impairment on Fixed Maturity AFS Securities We regularly review our fixed maturity AFS securities for declines in fair value that we determine to be impairment-related, including those attributable to credit risk factors that may require an allowance for credit losses. Changes in the allowance for credit losses on fixed maturity AFS securities (in millions), aggregated by investment category, were as follows: For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2021 Corporate Bonds RMBS ABS Total Balance as of beginning-of-year $ 12 $ 1 $ - $ 13 Additions from purchases of PCD debt securities (1) - - - - Additions (reductions) for securities for which credit losses were previously recognized 1 - - 1 Balance as of end-of-period (2) $ 13 $ 1 $ - $ 14 For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2020 Corporate Bonds RMBS ABS Total Balance as of beginning-of-year $ - $ - $ - $ - Additions for securities for which credit losses were not previously recognized 20 - - 20 Additions from purchases of PCD debt securities (1) - - - - Balance as of end-of-period (2) $ 20 $ - $ - $ 20 (1) Represents purchased credit-deteriorated (“PCD”) fixed maturity AFS securities.
