As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, accrued interest of $237 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 December 31, 2022 and 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 $302 million and $314 million, respectively, may be sold, pledged or rehypothecated by the counterparty.
As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, fixed maturity securities comprised approximately 92% 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 December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company’s internal analysts rated $270 million and $400 million, respectively, of securities using criteria similar to those used by NRSROs.

These securities are not rated but are included in below investment grade due to their risk characteristics.
As of both December 31, 2022 and 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 equity as of both December 31, 2022 and 2021.

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 year ended December 31, 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 December 31, 2022 and 2021, approximately 95%     and 96%, respectively, of the total of Available-for-Sale securities with gross unrealized losses were considered investment grade.

Credit losses for the year ended December 31, 2021 primarily related to recording an allowance for credit losses on certain state and municipal securities. Credit losses for the year ended December 31, 2020 primarily related to recording an allowance for credit losses on certain corporate debt securities, primarily in the oil and gas industry. Other impairments for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 related to Available-for-Sale securities which the Company intended to sell.
