Investments. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, Investments were composed of exchange-traded fixed income and equity securities, which are classified as available-for-sale and are carried at fair value (see Note V) with unrealized gains and losses recognized in other comprehensive income. Unrealized and realized gains and losses related to these securities were immaterial in 2016, 2015, and 2014.

During 2016, Arconic sold various fixed income and equity securities held by its captive insurance company for $130, which is included in Sales of investments on the accompanying Statement of Consolidated Cash Flows, and recorded a loss of $3 ($2 after-tax) in Other income, net on the accompanying Statement of Consolidated Operations.

Cash surrender value of life insurance. In the first quarter of 2016, Arconic received $234 in proceeds from the redemption of certain company-owned life insurance policies. In the second quarter of 2016, Arconic liquidated additional company-owned life insurance policies for $223 in cash. Both of these amounts were included in Proceeds from the sale of assets and businesses on the accompanying Statement of Consolidated Cash Flows. As the cash received was equivalent to the cash surrender value of these policies, no gain or loss was recognized on the sales of these policies.
