Fixed Maturities
The following tables provide information relating to fixed maturities classified as AFS. As a result of the adoption of the Financial Instruments - Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (ASU 2016-01) standard on January 1, 2018 (see Note 2), equity securities are no longer classified and accounted for as available-for-sale securities.

Includes publicly traded agency pass-through securities and collateralized obligations.
(2)
Includes credit-tranched securities collateralized by sub-prime mortgages and other asset types and credit tenant loans.
(3)
Amounts represent OTTI losses in AOCI, which were not included in income (loss) in accordance with current accounting guidance.

The contractual maturities of AFS fixed maturities at September 30, 2018 are shown in the table below. Bonds not due at a single maturity date have been included in the table in the final year of maturity. Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

The Company’s investments in fixed maturities do not include concentrations of credit risk of any single issuer greater than 10% of the consolidated equity of AXA Equitable, other than securities of the U.S. government, U.S. government agencies, and certain securities guaranteed by the U.S. government. The Company maintains a diversified portfolio of corporate securities across industries and issuers and does not have exposure to any single issuer in excess of 0.5% of total investments. The largest exposures to a single issuer of corporate securities held at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 were $200 million and $182 million, respectively.
Corporate high yield securities, consisting primarily of public high yield bonds, are classified as other than investment grade by the various rating agencies, i.e., a rating below Baa3/BBB- or the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (“NAIC”) designation of 3 (medium grade), 4 or 5 (below investment grade) or 6 (in or near default). At September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively, approximately $1,280 million and $1,309 million, or 3.2% and 3.8%, of the $40,542 million and $34,831 million aggregate amortized cost of fixed maturities held by the Company were considered to be other than investment grade. These securities had net unrealized gains and (losses) of $(11) million and $5 million at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.
At September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively, the $611 million and $224 million of gross unrealized losses of twelve months or more were concentrated in corporate and U.S. Treasury, government and agency securities. In accordance with the policy described in Note 2, the Company concluded that an adjustment to income for OTTI for these securities was not warranted at either September 30, 2018 or 2017. At September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company did not intend to sell the securities nor will it likely be required to dispose of the securities before the anticipated recovery of their remaining amortized cost basis.
The Company does not originate, purchase or warehouse residential mortgages and is not in the mortgage servicing business. At September 30, 2018, the carrying value of fixed maturities that were non-income producing for the twelve months preceding that date was $2 million.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, investment income is shown net of investment expenses of $17 million, $49 million, $11 million and $40 million respectively.
At September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the fair values of the Company’s trading account securities were $14,760 million and $12,628 million, respectively. Also at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, trading securities included the General Account’s investment in Separate Accounts, which had carrying values of $52 million and $49 million, respectively.
Net unrealized and realized gains (losses) on trading account equity securities are included in Net investment income (loss) in the Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss). The table below shows a breakdown of Net investment income from trading account securities during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017:

Types of Derivative Instruments and Derivative Strategies
The Company utilizes various derivative instruments and strategies to manage its risk. Commonly used derivative instruments include, but are not necessarily limited to, exchange traded equity, currency and interest rate futures contracts, total return and/or other equity swaps, interest rate swap and floor contracts, bond and bond-index total return swaps, swaptions, variance swaps and equity options credit and foreign exchange derivatives as well as bond and repo transactions to support the hedging. The Company also uses foreign exchange derivatives to reduce exposure to currency fluctuations that may arise from non-U.S.-dollar denominated financial instruments. The Company had a currency swap contract with AXA to hedge foreign exchange exposure from affiliated loans, which matured in March 2018.
For detailed information on these derivative instruments and strategies, see Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements included in the 2017 Form 10-K.
The tables below present quantitative disclosures about the Company’s derivative instruments, including those embedded in other contracts required to be accounted for as derivative instruments.

Equity-Based and Treasury Futures Contracts Margin
All outstanding equity-based and treasury futures contracts at September 30, 2018 are exchange-traded and net settled daily in cash. At September 30, 2018, the Company had open exchange-traded futures positions on: (i) the S&P 500, Russell 2000, and Emerging Market indices, having initial margin requirements of $203 million, (ii) the 2-year, 5-year and 10-year U.S. Treasury Notes on U.S. Treasury bonds and ultra-long bonds, having initial margin requirements of $53 million and (iii) the Euro Stoxx, FTSE 100, Topix, ASX 200, and European, Australasia, and Far East (“EAFE”) indices as well as corresponding currency futures on the Euro/U.S. dollar, Pound/U.S. dollar, Australian dollar/U.S. dollar, and Yen/U.S. dollar, having initial margin requirements of $21 million.
Collateral Arrangements
The Company generally has executed a Credit Support Annex (“CSA”) under the International Swaps and Derivatives Association Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) it maintains with each of its over-the-counter (“OTC”) derivative counterparties that requires both posting and accepting collateral either in the form of cash or high-quality securities, such as U.S. Treasury securities, U.S. government and government agency securities and investment grade corporate bonds. The Company nets the fair value of all derivative financial instruments with counterparties for which an ISDA Master Agreement and related CSA have been executed. At September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively, the Company held $2,135 million and $1,855 million in cash and securities collateral delivered by trade counterparties, representing the fair value of the related derivative agreements. The unrestricted cash collateral is reported in Other invested assets.
