Investments, Debt and Equity Securities [Abstract]  
Investments Investments — The following tables present the composition of our investment portfolio by major security type. Our securities are reported in our consolidated balance sheets at fair value. The changes in fair value for our fixed-maturity securities (other than hybrid securities) are reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of deferred income taxes, in our consolidated balance sheets. The net holding period gains (losses) reported below represent the inception-to-date changes in fair value of the securities. The changes in the net holding period gains (losses) between periods for the hybrid securities and equity securities are recorded as a component of net realized gains (losses) on securities in our consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

The total fair value of the portfolio at June 30, 2022 and 2021, and December 31, 2021, included $4.9 billion, $3.3 billion, and $4.2 billion, respectively, of securities held in a consolidated, non-insurance subsidiary of the holding company, net of unsettled security transactions.

At June 30, 2022, bonds and certificates of deposit in the principal amount of $468.9 million were on deposit to meet state insurance regulatory requirements. We did not hold any securities of any one issuer, excluding U.S. government obligations, with an aggregate cost or fair value exceeding 10% of total shareholders’ equity at June 30, 2022 or 2021, or December 31, 2021. At June 30, 2022, we did not hold any debt securities that were non-income producing during the preceding 12 months.
Short-Term Investments Our short-term investments may include commercial paper and other investments that are expected to mature or are redeemable within one year.
We invested in repurchase and reverse repurchase transactions during 2022 and 2021, but did not have any open positions at June 30, 2022 and 2021, or December 31, 2021. To the extent we enter into repurchase or reverse repurchase transactions, consistent with past practice, we would elect not to offset these transactions and would report them on a gross basis on our consolidated balance sheets, despite the option to elect to offset these transactions as long as they were with the same counterparty and subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement.
Hybrid Securities Certain securities in our fixed-maturity portfolio are accounted for as hybrid securities because they contain embedded derivatives that are not deemed to be clearly and closely related to the host investments. These securities are reported at fair value:

Redeemable preferred stocks136.3 132.2 130.8 
Total hybrid securities$1,316.7 $658.9 $1,235.3 
Since the embedded derivatives (e.g., change-in-control put option, debt-to-equity conversion, or any other feature unrelated to the credit quality or risk of default of the issuer that could impact the amount or timing of our expected future cash flows) do not have observable intrinsic values, we have elected to record the changes in fair value of these securities through income as a component of net realized gains or losses.

Asset-backed securities are classified in the maturity distribution table based upon their projected cash flows. All other securities that do not have a single maturity date are reported based upon expected average maturity. Contractual maturities may differ from expected maturities because the issuers of the securities may have the right to call or prepay obligations.

The increase in the number of securities in an unrealized loss position since both June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2021, was primarily the result of an increase in interest rates. As of June 30, 2022, we had two corporate debt securities and one residential mortgage-backed security that had their credit ratings downgraded during the quarter, with a combined fair value of $18.3 million and an unrealized loss of $2.1 million.
A review of the securities in an unrealized loss position indicated that the issuers were current with respect to their interest obligations and that there was no evidence of deterioration of the current cash flow projections that would indicate we would not receive the remaining principal at maturity.
Allowance For Credit and Uncollectible Losses We are required to measure the amount of potential credit losses for all fixed-maturity securities in an unrealized loss position. We did not record any allowances for credit losses or any write-offs for amounts deemed to be uncollectible during the first six months of 2022 or 2021, and did not have a material credit loss allowance balance as of June 30, 2022 and 2021, or December 31, 2021. We considered several factors and inputs related to the individual securities as part of our analysis. The methodology and significant inputs used to measure the amount of credit losses in our portfolio included:

current performance indicators on the business model or underlying assets (e.g., delinquency rates, foreclosure rates, and default rates);
credit support (via current levels of subordination);
historical credit ratings; and
updated cash flow expectations based upon these performance indicators.
In order to determine the amount of credit loss, if any, we initially reviewed securities in a loss position to determine whether it was likely that we would be required, or intended, to sell any of the securities prior to the recovery of their respective cost bases (which could be maturity). If we were likely to, or intended to, sell prior to a potential recovery, we would write off the unrealized loss. For those securities that we determined we were not likely to, or did not intend to, sell prior to a potential recovery, we calculated the net present value (NPV) of the cash flows expected (i.e., expected recovery value) using the current book yield for each security. The NPV was then compared to the security’s current amortized value to determine if a credit loss existed. In the event that the NPV was below the amortized value, and the amount was determined to be material individually, or in aggregate, a credit loss would be deemed to exist, and either an allowance for credit losses would be created, or if an allowance currently existed, either a recovery of the previous allowance, or an incremental loss, would be recorded to net realized gains (losses) on securities.
As of June 30, 2022 and 2021, and December 31, 2021, we believe none of the unrealized losses relate to material credit losses on any specific securities, or in the aggregate, based on our review. We continue to expect all the securities in our portfolio to pay their principal and interest obligations.
In addition, we reviewed our accrued investment income outstanding on those securities in an unrealized loss position at June 30, 2022 and 2021, and December 31, 2021, to determine if the accrued interest amounts were determined to be uncollectible. Based on our analysis, we believe the issuers have sufficient liquidity and capital reserves to meet their current interest, and future principal, obligations and, therefore, did not write off any accrued income as uncollectible at June 30, 2022 and 2021, or December 31, 2021.

Realized gains (losses) on securities sold are computed using the first-in-first-out method. During the second quarter 2022, we sold securities in our common equity portfolio, which were in a realized gain position, as part of our plan to incrementally reduce risk in the portfolio in response to the likelihood of a more difficult economic environment over the near term. The majority of the sales in the fixed-maturity portfolio were from U.S. Treasuries, which were sold to shorten duration. The loss from the fixed-maturity sales reflects the continued rise in interest rates during the second quarter 2022, which resulted in valuation declines for most of our available-for-sale securities. The other asset impairment loss was recorded as a result of our investment in a federal new markets tax credit fund, which was entered into during the second quarter 2021, and reported in other assets in the consolidated balance sheets.

On a year-over-year basis, investment income (interest and dividends) increased 39% and 24% for the first three and six months of 2022, respectively, compared to the same periods last year, due to an increase in average assets resulting from premium growth, underwriting profitability, and investing the $1.5 billion of proceeds from debt issued in March 2022. The recurring investment book yield increased 19% for the second quarter 2022 and 7% for the first six months of 2022, compared to the same periods in 2021, reflecting investing new cash and cash from maturities in higher interest rate securities given the rising interest rate environment.
