During the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, $(45) million and $17 million of Net investment income was recognized due to the change in fair value of common stock still held as of March 31, 2020 and 2019. During the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, $(2) million and less than $1 million of Net investment income was recognized due to the change in fair value of trading securities still held as of March 31, 2020 and 2019

During the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, $(133) million of losses and $42 million of gains were recognized in Net investment gains (losses) due to the change in fair value of non-redeemable preferred stock still held as of March 31, 2020 and 2019.
For available-for-sale fixed maturity securities, a credit loss exists if the present value of cash flows expected to be collected is less than the amortized cost basis. The allowance for credit loss related to available-for-sale fixed maturity securities is the difference between present value of cash flows expected to be collected and the amortized cost basis, limited by the amount that the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis. The Company considers all available evidence when determining whether an investment requires a credit loss write-down or allowance to be recorded. Examples of such evidence may include the financial condition and near term prospects of the issuer, whether the issuer is current with interest and principal payments, credit ratings on the security or changes in ratings over time, general market conditions and industry, sector or other specific factors and whether it is likely that the Company will recover its amortized cost through the collection of cash flows. Changes in the allowance are presented as a component of Net investment gains (losses) on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The following table presents the activity related to the allowance on available-for-sale securities with credit impairments and PCD assets for the three months ended March 31, 2020. Accrued interest receivable on available-for-sale fixed maturity securities totaled $390 million and is excluded from the estimate of expected credit losses and the amortized cost basis in the tables included within this Note.

The net unrealized gains on investments included in the tables above are recorded as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI). When presented in AOCI, these amounts are net of tax and any required Shadow Adjustments. To the extent that unrealized gains on fixed income securities supporting certain products within the Life & Group segment would result in a premium deficiency if realized, a related increase in Insurance reserves is recorded, net of tax, as a reduction of net unrealized gains through Other comprehensive income (loss) (Shadow Adjustments). As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the net unrealized gains on investments included in AOCI were correspondingly reduced by Shadow Adjustments of $1,700 million and $2,198 million.
The following tables present the estimated fair value and gross unrealized losses of fixed maturity securities in a gross unrealized loss position for which an allowance for credit loss has not been recorded, by the length of time in which the securities have continuously been in that position.

Based on current facts and circumstances, the Company believes the unrealized losses presented in the March 31, 2020 gross unrealized loss position tables above are not indicative of the ultimate collectibility of the current amortized cost of the securities. Rather, the Company believes the gross unrealized losses are attributable primarily to widening credit spreads over risk free rates beyond historic norms, as a result of market uncertainties stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as supply shocks in the energy sector coupled with demand shocks in multiple sectors from the COVID-19 pandemic, that originated during the first quarter of 2020. The Company has no current intent to sell securities with unrealized losses, nor is it more likely than not that it will be required to sell prior to recovery of amortized cost; accordingly, the Company has determined that there are no additional impairment losses to be recorded as of March 31, 2020.

Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities because certain securities may be called or prepaid. Securities not due at a single date are allocated based on weighted average life.
Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company holds an embedded derivative on a funds withheld liability with a notional value of $196 million and $182 million as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 and a fair value of $(1) million and $(7) million as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019. The embedded derivative on the funds withheld liability is accounted for separately and reported with the funds withheld liability in Other liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Investment Commitments
As part of its overall investment strategy, the Company invests in various assets which require future purchase, sale or funding commitments. These investments are recorded once funded, and the related commitments may include future capital calls from various third-party limited partnerships, signed and accepted mortgage loan applications, and obligations related to privately placed debt securities. As of March 31, 2020, the Company had commitments to purchase or fund approximately $1,025 million and sell approximately $85 million under the terms of these investments.
Mortgage Loans
The allowance for expected credit losses is developed by assessing the credit quality of pools of mortgage loans in good standing using debt service coverage ratios (DSCR) and loan-to-value ratios (LTV). The DSCR compares a property’s net operating income to its debt service payments, including principal and interest. The LTV ratio compares the current unpaid principal balance of the loan to the estimated fair value of the underlying property collateralizing the loan. The pools developed to measure the credit loss allowance use increments of DSCR and LTV to draw distinctions between risk levels. Changes in the allowance for mortgage loans are presented as a component of Net investment gains (losses) on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company has adjusted the historical loss rate applied to mortgage loans over the forecast period to reflect higher expected credit losses based on observable economic forecasts, which increased the allowance by $13 million for the period ended March 31, 2020.
The following table presents the amortized cost basis of mortgage loans for each credit quality indicator by year of origination as of March 31, 2020:

The values in the table above reflect DSCR on a standardized amortization period and LTV based on the most recent appraised values trended forward using changes in a commercial real estate price index.
As of March 31, 2020, accrued interest receivable on mortgage loans totaled $4 million and is excluded from the amortized cost basis disclosed in the table above and the estimate of expected credit losses. There were no loans that were past due or placed in nonaccrual status as of March 31, 2020. No interest income was written off for the period ended March 31, 2020.
