The net unrealized investment gains in our fixed-maturity portfolio are primarily the result of the continued low interest rate environment that increased the fair value of our fixed-maturity portfolio. The seven largest unrealized investment gains in our common stock portfolio are from Exxon Mobil Corporation (NYSE:XOM), The Procter & Gamble Company (NYSE:PG), Honeywell International Incorporated (NYSE:HON), Chevron Corporation (NYSE:CVX), Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ), BlackRock Inc. (NYSE:BLK), and RPM International (NYSE:RPM), which had a combined gross unrealized gain of $579 million. At September 30, 2014, BlackRock Inc. was our largest single common stock holding with a fair value of 3.1 percent of our publicly traded common stock portfolio and 1.0 percent of the total investment portfolio.

During the three months ended September 30, 2014, there were no equity securities and no fixed-maturity securities other-than-temporarily impaired. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, there were    three equity securities and one fixed-maturity security other-than-temporarily impaired. There were no credit losses on fixed-maturity securities for which a portion of other-than-temporary impairment (OTTI) has been recognized in other comprehensive income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013. At September 30, 2014, 212 fixed-maturity investments with a total unrealized loss of $20 million had been in an unrealized loss position for 12 months or more. Of that total, no fixed-maturity investments had fair values below  
70 percent of amortized cost. Four equity investments with a total unrealized loss of $5 million had been in an unrealized loss position for 12 months or more as of September 30, 2014. Of that total, no equity investments were trading below 70 percent of cost.
 
During 2013, we other-than-temporarily impaired seven fixed-maturity securities. At December 31, 2013, 40 fixed-maturity investments with a total unrealized loss of $5 million had been in an unrealized loss position for 12 months or more. Of that total, no fixed-maturity investments had fair values below 70 percent of amortized cost. There were no equity investments in an unrealized loss position for 12 months or more as of December 31, 2013.
