As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, accrued interest of $167 million and $140 million, respectively, is excluded from the amortized cost basis of Available-for-Sale securities in the tables above and is recorded in Receivables.
As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, investment securities with a fair value of $3.3 billion and $3.1 billion, respectively, were pledged to meet contractual obligations under derivative contracts and short-term borrowings, of which $478 million and $314 million, respectively, may be sold, pledged or rehypothecated by the counterparty.
As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, fixed maturity securities comprised approximately 90% and 89%, respectively, of Ameriprise Financial investments. Rating agency designations are based on the availability of ratings from Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organizations (“NRSROs”), including Moody’s Investors Service (“Moody’s”), Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services (“S&P”) and Fitch Ratings Ltd. (“Fitch”). The Company uses the median of available ratings from Moody’s, S&P and Fitch, or if fewer than three ratings are available, the lower rating is used. When ratings from Moody’s, S&P and Fitch are unavailable, the Company may utilize ratings from other NRSROs or rate the securities internally. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company’s internal analysts rated $586 million and $400 million, respectively, of securities using criteria similar to those used by NRSROs.
A summary of fixed maturity securities by rating was as follows:

(1) The amortized cost and fair value of below investment grade securities includes interest in non-consolidated CLOs managed by the Company of $1 million and $2 million, respectively, as of both June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. These securities are not rated but are included in below investment grade due to their risk characteristics.
As of both June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, approximately 30% of securities rated AAA were GNMA, FNMA and FHLMC mortgage backed securities. No holdings of any issuer were greater than 10% of the Company’s total shareholder’s equity as of both June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.
The following tables summarize the fair value and gross unrealized losses on Available-for-Sale securities, aggregated by major investment type and the length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position for which no allowance for credit losses has been recorded:

As part of the Company’s ongoing monitoring process, management determined that the change in gross unrealized losses on its Available-for-Sale securities for which an allowance for credit losses has not been recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2022 is primarily attributable to the impact of higher interest rates and wider credit spreads driven by continued market volatility, with no specific credit concerns. The Company did not recognize these unrealized losses in earnings because it was determined that such losses were due to non-credit factors. The Company does not intend to sell these securities and does not believe that it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell these securities before the anticipated recovery of the remaining amortized cost basis. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, approximately 95% and 96%, respectively, of the total of Available-for-Sale securities with gross unrealized losses were considered investment grade.

Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities because issuers may have the right to call or prepay obligations. Residential mortgage backed securities, commercial mortgage backed securities and asset backed securities are not due at a single maturity date. As such, these securities were not included in the maturities distribution.
