Summary of fair value and gross unrealized losses of fixed maturity securities and equity securities in an unrealized loss position
The following table presents the fair value and gross unrealized losses for fixed maturity securities in an unrealized loss position at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. The Company views the decrease in fair value of all of the fixed maturity securities with unrealized losses at September 30, 2021 — which was driven largely by increasing interest rates, spread widening, financial market illiquidity and/or market volatility from the date of acquisition — as temporary. As of September 30, 2021, the Company has not made the decision to sell and it is not more likely than not the Company will be required to sell the fixed maturity securities with unrealized losses before an anticipated recovery in value. Therefore, it was determined that the unrealized losses on the fixed maturity securities presented in the table below were not indicative of any impairments as of September 30, 2021.

Distribution of the company's fixed maturity portfolio by estimated expected maturity
The following table presents the distribution of the Company’s fixed maturity securities portfolio by estimated expected maturity. Estimated expected maturities differ from contractual maturities, reflecting assumptions regarding borrowers' utilization of the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties. For structured securities, estimated expected maturities consider broker-dealer survey prepayment assumptions and are verified for consistency with the interest rate and economic environments.
