The components of fair value and amortized cost for fixed maturities classified as AFS on the balance sheets excludes accrued interest receivable because the Company elected to present accrued interest receivable within other assets.

There was no accrued interest written off for AFS fixed maturities for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020.

The Company’s investments in fixed maturities do not include concentrations of credit risk of any single issuer greater than 10% of the equity of the Company, 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 1.2% of total corporate securities. The largest exposures to a single issuer of corporate securities held as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 were $24 million and $27 million, respectively, representing 10.3% and 3.8% of the equity of the Company.
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 NAIC designation of 3 (medium investment grade), 4 or 5 (below investment grade) or 6 (in or near default). As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, approximately $4 million and $10 million, or 0.2% and 0.4%, of the $2.6 billion and $2.4 billion aggregate amortized cost of fixed maturities held by the Company were considered to be other than investment grade. These securities had no gross unrealized losses as of December 31, 2022 and 2021.
As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, the $223 million and $6 million of gross unrealized losses of twelve months or more were concentrated in corporate securities. In accordance with the policy described in Note 2 of the Notes to these Financial Statements, the Company concluded that an allowance for credit losses for these securities was not warranted at either December 31, 2022 or December 31, 2021. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, 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.
Based on the Company’s evaluation both qualitatively and quantitatively of the drivers of the decline in fair value of fixed maturity securities as of December 31, 2022, the Company determined that the unrealized loss was primarily due to increases in interest rates and credit spreads.
Mortgage Loans on Real Estate
The Company held two commercial mortgage loans with a carrying value of $17 million at December 31, 2022 and 2021. The loans were issued prior to 2017 for apartment complex properties located in the Mid-Atlantic region. The loans were current as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 with LTV ratios between 0%-50% and DSC ratios of 2.0x or greater.
Accrued interest receivable as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 was $0 million and no accrued interest was written off for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020. The allowance for credit losses was $0 million as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, with a change of $0 million for the periods ended.
As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company had no loans for which foreclosure was probable included within the individually assessed mortgage loans, and accordingly had no associated allowance for credit losses.
Equity Securities
The table below presents a breakdown of unrealized and realized gains and (losses) on equity securities during the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021. There were no unrealized or realized gains and (losses) on equity securities during the year ended December 31, 2020.
