The cost of marketable debt securities is adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts to maturity. Amortization, accretion, interest and dividend income and realized gains and losses are included in investment income. The cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method. Gross realized gains were $1.2, $2.0 and $3.8, and gross realized losses were $.1, $.7 and $.3 for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Marketable debt securities with continuous unrealized losses and their related fair values were as follows:

At December 31,	2014			2013
	LESS THAN TWELVE MONTHS		TWELVE MONTHS OR GREATER	LESS THAN TWELVE MONTHS		TWELVE MONTHS OR GREATER
Fair value	$	249.6		$	388.3	$	28.4
Unrealized losses		.4			.9		.1

For the investment securities in gross unrealized loss positions identified above, the Company does not intend to sell the investment securities. It is more likely than not that the Company will not be required to sell the investment securities before recovery of the unrealized losses, and the Company expects that the contractual principal and interest will be received on the investment securities. As a result, the Company recognized no other-than-temporary impairments during the periods presented.

Contractual maturities at December 31, 2014 were as follows:

Maturities:	AMORTIZED COST		FAIR            VALUE
Within one year	$	423.6	$	424.1
One to five years		841.2		847.9
	$	1,264.8	$	1,272.0
Marketable debt securities included nil and $.4 of variable rate demand obligations (VRDOs) at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. VRDOs are debt instruments with long-term scheduled maturities which have interest rates that reset periodically.
