We determine realized gains or losses on the sale of marketable securities on a specific identification method. We recognized gross realized gains of $1,677, $1,265, and $241 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2017, 2016, and 2015, respectively. These realized gains were offset by realized losses of $1,390, $586, and $677 for the twelve-months ended December 31, 2017, 2016, and 2015, respectively. We reflect these gains and losses as a component of investment income in the accompanying consolidated statements of income (loss).
The following table summarizes the estimated fair value of our investments in marketable debt securities, accounted for as available-for-sale securities and classified by the contractual maturity date of the securities as of December 31, 2017:
