The Company regularly reviews its investment portfolio for factors that may indicate that a decline in fair value of an investment is other than temporary. The portions of the declines in the fair values of investments that are determined to be other than temporary are reported as losses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income in the periods when such determinations are made.
Note 2 - Investments (continued)
Unrealized losses on fixed maturities, which the Company has determined to be temporary at March 31, 2014, were $49.4 million, of which $7.9 million is related to fixed maturities that were in an unrealized loss position for 12 months or longer. There were no unrealized losses at March 31, 2014 related to securities for which the Company has recognized credit losses in earnings in the preceding table under the heading “Less Than 12 Months.” Included in the preceding table under the heading “12 Months or Longer” were unrealized losses of $0.2 million related to securities for which the Company has recognized credit losses in earnings. Investment-grade fixed maturity investments comprised $44.8 million and below-investment-grade fixed maturity investments comprised $4.6 million of the unrealized losses on investments in fixed maturities at March 31, 2014. For below-investment-grade fixed maturity investments in an unrealized loss position, the unrealized loss amount, on average, was less than 5% of the amortized cost basis of the investment. At March 31, 2014, the Company did not have the intent to sell these investments and it was not more likely than not that the Company would be required to sell these investments before it recovered the amortized cost of such investments, which may be at maturity. Based on the Company’s evaluation at March 31, 2014 of the prospects of the issuers, including, but not limited to, the credit ratings of the issuers of the investments in the fixed maturities, and the Company’s intention to not sell and its determination that it would not be required to sell before it recovered the amortized cost of such investments, the Company concluded that the declines in the fair values of the Company’s investments in fixed maturities presented in the preceding table were temporary at the evaluation date.
For equity securities, the Company considers various factors when determining whether a decline in the fair value is other than temporary, including, but not limited to:
The financial condition and prospects of the issuer;
The length of time and magnitude of the unrealized loss;
The volatility of the investment;
Analyst recommendations and near term price targets;
Opinions of the Company’s external investment managers;
Market liquidity;
Debt-like characteristics of perpetual preferred stocks and issuer ratings; and
The Company’s intentions to sell or ability to hold the investments until recovery.
With respect to Investments in Equity Securities, the Company concluded that the unrealized losses on its investments in preferred and common stocks at March 31, 2014 were temporary based on various factors, including the relative short length and magnitude of the losses and overall market volatility. The Company’s investments in other equity interests include investments in limited liability companies and limited partnerships that primarily invest in mezzanine debt, distressed debt, and secondary transactions. By the nature of their underlying investments, the Company believes that its investments in the limited liability companies and limited partnerships exhibit debt-like characteristics which, among other factors, the Company also considers when evaluating these investments for impairment. Based on evaluations of the factors in the preceding paragraph, the Company concluded that the declines in the fair values of the Company’s investments in equity securities were temporary at March 31, 2014.

Unrealized losses on fixed maturities, which the Company has determined to be temporary at December 31, 2013, were $79.7 million, of which $9.2 million was related to fixed maturities that were in an unrealized loss position for 12 months or longer. There were no unrealized losses at December 31, 2013 related to securities for which the Company has recognized credit losses in earnings in the preceding table under the heading “Less Than 12 Months.” Included in the preceding table under the heading “12 Months or Longer” there were unrealized losses of $0.3 million at December 31, 2013 related to securities for which the Company has recognized credit losses in earnings. Investment-grade fixed maturity investments comprised $74.2 million and below-investment-grade fixed maturity investments comprised $5.5 million of the unrealized losses on investments in fixed maturities at December 31, 2013. For below-investment-grade fixed maturity investments in an unrealized loss position, the unrealized loss amount, on average, was less than 5% of the amortized cost basis of the investment. At December 31, 2013, the Company did not have the intent to sell these investments and it was not more likely than not that the Company would be required to sell these investments before it recovered the amortized cost of such investments, which may be at maturity. Based on the Company’s evaluation at December 31, 2013 of the prospects of the issuers, including, but not limited to, the credit ratings of the issuers of the investments in the fixed maturities, and the Company’s intention to not sell and its determination that it would not be required to sell before it recovered the amortized cost of such investments, the Company concluded that the declines in the fair values of the Company’s investments in fixed maturities presented in the preceding table were temporary at the evaluation date.
