The following table shows the fair value and gross unrealized losses for all available-for-sale securities in an unrealized loss position deemed to be temporary (in millions):

	As of December 31, 2011					As of December 31, 2010
	Fair Value		Unrealized Losses			Fair value		Unrealized Losses
Corporate debt securities	$	164.5	$	(0.3	)	$	126.1	$	(0.2	)
Certificates of deposit		–		–			50.6		(0.1	)
Total	$	164.5	$	(0.3	)	$	176.7	$	(0.3	)

All securities in the table above have been in an unrealized loss position for less than twelve months. A total of 97 securities were in an unrealized loss position as of December 31, 2011.

The unrealized losses on our investments in corporate debt securities were caused by increases in interest yields resulting from adverse conditions in the global credit markets. We believe the unrealized losses associated with our available-for-sale securities as of December 31, 2011 are temporary because we do not intend to sell these investments before maturity, and we do not believe we will be required to sell them before recovery of their amortized cost basis.

The amortized cost and fair value of our available-for-sale fixed-maturity securities by contractual maturity are as follows (in millions):

As of December 31, 2011	Amortized Cost		Fair Value
Due in one year or less	$	455.4	$	455.5
Due after one year through two years		217.3		217.2
Total	$	672.7	$	672.7
