Approximately 94% of our debt securities were investment-grade quality, with a weighted average credit rating of AA- by S&P at June 30, 2013. Most of the debt securities that were below investment-grade were rated BB, the higher end of the below investment-grade rating scale. At June 30, 2013, 10% of our tax-exempt municipal securities were pre-refunded, generally with U.S. government and agency securities. Tax-exempt municipal securities that were not pre-refunded were diversified among general obligation bonds of U.S. states and local municipalities as well as special revenue bonds. General obligation bonds, which are backed by the taxing power and full faith of the issuer, accounted for 41% of the tax-exempt municipals that were not pre-refunded in the portfolio. Special revenue bonds, issued by a municipality to finance a specific public works project such as utilities, water and sewer, transportation, or education, and supported by the revenues of that project, accounted for the remaining 59% of these municipals. Our general obligation bonds are diversified across the United States with no individual state exceeding 10%. In addition, 20% of our tax-exempt securities were insured by bond insurers and had an equivalent weighted average S&P credit rating of AA- exclusive of the bond insurers’ guarantee. Our investment policy limits investments in a single issuer and requires diversification among various asset types.

The recoverability of our non-agency residential and commercial mortgage-backed securities is supported by factors such as seniority, underlying collateral characteristics, and credit enhancements. These residential and commercial mortgage-backed securities at June 30, 2013 primarily were composed of senior tranches having high credit support, with over 99% of the collateral consisting of prime loans. The weighted average credit rating of all commercial mortgage-backed securities was AA at June 30, 2013.

The percentage of corporate securities associated with the financial services industry was 24% at June 30, 2013 and 23% at December 31, 2012.

Several European countries, including Spain, Italy, Ireland, Portugal, Cyprus, and Greece, have been subject to credit deterioration due to weakness in their economic and fiscal situations. We have no direct exposure to sovereign issuances of these six countries.

All issuers of securities we own that were trading at an unrealized loss at June 30, 2013 remain current on all contractual payments. After taking into account these and other factors previously described, we believe these unrealized losses primarily were caused by an increase in market interest rates and tighter liquidity conditions in the current markets than when the securities were purchased. At June 30, 2013, we did not intend to sell the securities with an unrealized loss position in accumulated other comprehensive income, and it is not likely that we will be required to sell these securities before recovery of their amortized cost basis. As a result, we believe that the securities with an unrealized loss were not other-than-temporarily impaired at June 30, 2013.

The detail of realized gains (losses) related to investment securities and included within investment income was as follows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012:
