In May 2014, the Company sold its interest in MAL, which was a hedged item in a net investment hedging relationship. As a result, during both the three months and six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company released losses of $77 million from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) into earnings upon the sale. See Note 3. During the three months and six months ended June 30, 2013, there were no sales or substantial liquidations of net investments in foreign operations that would have required the reclassification of gains or losses from AOCI into earnings.
(2)
There was no ineffectiveness recognized for the Company’s hedges of net investments in foreign operations. All components of each derivative’s gain or loss were included in the assessment of hedge effectiveness.

At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, derivative assets include income or expense accruals reported in accrued investment income or in other liabilities of $214 million and $255 million, respectively, and derivative liabilities include income or expense accruals reported in accrued investment income or in other liabilities of $51 million and $28 million, respectively.
(2)
Estimated fair value of derivatives is limited to the amount that is subject to set-off and includes income or expense accruals.
(3)
Cash collateral received is included in cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments or in fixed maturity securities, and the obligation to return it is included in payables for collateral under securities loaned and other transactions on the balance sheet. The receivable for the return of cash collateral provided by the Company is inclusive of initial margin on exchange-traded and OTC-cleared derivatives and is included in premiums, reinsurance and other receivables on the balance sheet. The amount of cash collateral offset in the table above is limited to the net estimated fair value of derivatives after application of netting agreements. At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company received excess cash collateral of $63 million and $104 million, respectively, and provided excess cash collateral of $226 million and $236 million, respectively, which is not included in the table above due to the foregoing limitation.

Securities collateral received by the Company is held in separate custodial accounts and is not recorded on the balance sheet. Subject to certain constraints, the Company is permitted by contract to sell or repledge this collateral, but at June 30, 2014 none of the collateral had been sold or repledged. Securities collateral pledged by the Company is reported in fixed maturity securities on the balance sheet. Subject to certain constraints, the counterparties are permitted by contract to sell or repledge this collateral. The amount of securities collateral offset in the table above is limited to the net estimated fair value of derivatives after application of netting agreements and cash collateral. At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company received excess securities collateral with an estimated fair value of $105 million and $238 million, respectively, for its OTC-bilateral derivatives, which are not included in the table above due to the foregoing limitation. At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company provided excess securities collateral with an estimated fair value of $74 million and $66 million, respectively, for its OTC-bilateral derivatives, and $130 million and $141 million, respectively, for its OTC-cleared derivatives, and $200 million and $81 million, respectively, for its exchange-traded derivatives, which are not included in the table above due to the foregoing limitation.

Schedule of Derivative Instruments
The following table presents the estimated fair value of the Company’s OTC-bilateral derivatives that are in a net liability position after considering the effect of netting agreements, together with the estimated fair value and balance sheet location of the collateral pledged. The table also presents the incremental collateral that the Company would be required to provide if there was a one notch downgrade in the Company’s credit rating at the reporting date or if the Company’s credit rating sustained a downgrade to a level that triggered full overnight collateralization or termination of the derivative position at the reporting date. OTC-bilateral derivatives that are not subject to collateral agreements are excluded from this table.
