As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, accrued interest of $284 million and $237 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, 2023 and December 31, 2022, fixed maturity securities comprised approximately 93% and 92%, 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, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company’s internal analysts rated $401 million and $270 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 of below investment grade securities includes interest in non-consolidated CLOs managed by the Company of $1 million as of both June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. The fair value of below investment grade securities includes interest in non-consolidated CLOs managed by the Company of $1 million as of both June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. These securities are not rated but are included in below investment grade due to their risk characteristics.
As of both June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, 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, 2023 and December 31, 2022.
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 decrease in total 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, 2023 is primarily attributable to the impact of lower long-term interest rates and tighter credit spreads, partially offset by higher short-term interest rates. As of June 30, 2023, 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, 2023 and December 31, 2022, approximately 96% and 95%, respectively, of the total of Available-for-Sale securities with gross unrealized losses were considered investment grade.

Previously recorded allowance for credit losses was reversed during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 primarily due to the partial sale of a corporate debt security in the communications industry. Other impairments for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and three and six months ended June 30, 2022 related to Available-for-Sale securities which the Company intends to sell.

Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities because issuers may have the right to call or prepay obligations.

As such, these securities were not included in the maturities distribution.
