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 for the hybrid and equity securities. The changes in the net holding period gains (losses) between periods are recorded as a component of net realized gains (losses) on securities in our consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

1 At March 31, 2024 and 2023, we had $16.2 million and $22.8 million, respectively, of net unsettled security purchase transactions included in other liabilities, compared to $45.6 million included in other assets at December 31, 2023.
The total fair value of the portfolio at March 31, 2024 and 2023, and December 31, 2023, included $3.2 billion, $4.1 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 March 31, 2024, bonds and certificates of deposit in the principal amount of $672.4 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 March 31, 2024 or 2023, or December 31, 2023. At March 31, 2024, 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.
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 stocks141.0 132.8 141.2 
Total hybrid securities$957.6 $1,197.3 $1,010.3 
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 use the fair value option to record the changes in fair value of these securities through income as a component of net realized gains (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.

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.
We had seven securities that had their credit ratings downgraded during the first quarter 2024, with a combined fair value of $58.2 million and an unrealized loss of $8.2 million as of March 31, 2024.
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 three months of 2024 or 2023, and did not have a material credit loss allowance balance as of March 31, 2024 and 2023, or December 31, 2023. 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 performed additional analysis to determine if the loss was
credit related. For securities subject to credit related loss, 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 on any specific security, or in the 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 March 31, 2024 and 2023, and December 31, 2023, we believe that none of the unrealized losses on our fixed-maturity securities were related to material credit losses on any specific securities, or in the aggregate. We continue to expect all the securities in our fixed-maturity 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 March 31, 2024 and 2023, and December 31, 2023, to determine if the accrued interest amounts were 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 March 31, 2024 and 2023, or December 31, 2023.

Realized gains (losses) on securities sold are computed using the first-in-first-out method. During the first three months of 2024, the majority of our gross realized losses on security sales were U.S. Treasury Notes that were sold for duration management. We also sold corporate debt securities with less attractive risk/reward profiles and select commercial mortgage-backed securities. During the first quarter 2023, the gross gains in common equities reflected sales of securities, as part of our plan to incrementally reduce risk in the portfolio in response to our view of the potential of a more difficult economic environment. The gross loss incurred in our nonredeemable preferred stocks,
during the first quarter 2023, was primarily related to the sale of certain holdings in U.S. bank preferred stocks. In addition, during the first quarter last year, we selectively sold securities, which were primarily corporate debt securities and commercial mortgage-backed securities.

The other asset gain for the first three months of 2023, related to proceeds received as the result of litigation in conjunction with three renewable energy investments we made from 2016 through 2018 (the original investments were previously written down in full).

On a year-over-year basis, investment income (interest and dividends) increased 47% and recurring investment book yield increased 23% for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the same period last year. The increases primarily reflected investing new cash from operations and proceeds from maturing bonds in higher coupon rate securities.
