The following table presents income from unconsolidated investments recognized by Kennedy Wilson during the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020:

Operating performance is related to underlying performance from unconsolidated investments.

Realized gains during the year ended December 31, 2022, relates to the sale of a legacy multifamily property accounted for at historical cost in the Western United States at a sales price greater than its carrying value.

The decrease in income from unconsolidated investments is due to lower fair value gains and decreases in performance allocations on Western United States multifamily assets and commingled fund assets. The Company had a net fair value gain for the year ended December 31, 2022 as fair value losses on real estate and foreign exchange movements were more than offset by fair value gains on mortgages and interest rate derivatives as detailed below.

Valuations of global market rate multifamily assets in the Company's Western United States and Dublin markets and industrial assets in the United Kingdom were at historic levels at the end of 2021 and into the first quarter of 2022 and the Company has started to see this pull back slightly with cap rate expansion, which led to fair value losses on real estate during the year ended December 31, 2022. The Company also had fair value foreign exchange losses, net of any hedges on our foreign fair value investments as the GBP and Euro were at historically low levels in relation to the U.S. Dollar during the same period.

Fair value losses on real estate were also offset by fair value gains on fixed rate mortgages that are secured by certain properties, primarily related to having long term fixed rate debt that is at substantially lower interest rates than the current market interest rates as a result of higher base rates and spreads in today's financing market driven by recent rate increases implemented by the Federal Reserve and the European Central Bank ("ECB"). There were also fair value gains associated with interest rate derivatives held by properties on variable rate mortgages which have increased in value with rising interest rates.

VHH has had significant fair value gains in the current year due to gains on its fixed rate property loans and increases in NOI at the properties driven by rental increases and the stabilization of properties that have recently completed development. However, VHH does not have a performance allocation structure associated with the investment, which drove performance allocations being lower in relation to fair value gains.

During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company recorded a $21.1 million decrease in the accrual for performance allocations relating to its commingled funds and separate account investments as the fair value of assets within these funds decreased. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company collected $6.8 million of performance allocations.

The Company evaluates on a quarterly basis the carrying value of its historical cost based investments and to the extent the carrying value is in excess of its fair value, an impairment loss is recorded. Realized losses and impairment are related to asset sales on non-core retail assets in the United Kingdom during the year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.
Vintage Housing Holdings ("VHH")
As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the carrying value of the Company's investment in VHH was $272.3 million and $157.9 million, respectively. The total equity income recognized from the Company's investment in VHH was $119.8 million, $41.4 million and $22.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Distributions in the current period primarily relate to the refund of advances on two development projects in which VHH provides cash for the construction costs in advance, and other partners subsequently pay their share of the costs back to VHH, a resyndication and investing distributions from refinancing proceeds. Fair value gains in the current period primarily relate to having long term
fixed rate debt that is at substantially lower interest rates than the current market interest rates. There were also fair value gains associated with increases in rents as area median income ("AMI") in the relevant market increased by an average rate of 10% and additional NOI from the stabilization of properties that have recently completed development. Prior period fair value gains primarily relate to resyndications in which VHH dissolves an existing partnership and recapitalizes into a new partnership with tax exempt bonds and tax credits that are sold to a new tax credit partner and, in many cases, yields cash back to VHH. Upon resyndication, VHH retains a GP interest in the partnership and receives various future streams of cash flows including: development fees, asset management fees, other GP management fees and distributions from operations.

Capital Commitments

As of December 31, 2022, Kennedy Wilson had unfulfilled capital commitments totaling $246.6 million to nine of its unconsolidated joint ventures, including $76.8 million relating to four closed-end funds managed by Kennedy Wilson, under the respective operating agreements. In addition to the unfunded capital commitments, the Company has $87.4 million of equity commitments on various development projects. The Company may be called upon to contribute additional capital to joint ventures in satisfaction of such capital commitment obligations.
