Pre-refunded bonds of $2.46 billion and $2.06 billion at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, were bonds for which states or municipalities have established irrevocable trusts, almost exclusively comprised of U.S. Treasury securities and obligations of U.S. government and government agencies and authorities.  These trusts were created to fund the payment of principal and interest due under the bonds.
 
Proceeds from sales of fixed maturities classified as available for sale were $1.22 billion and $1.50 billion during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Gross gains of $31 million and $35 million and gross losses of $1 million and $4 million were realized on those sales during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

For the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company recognized $(33) million and $45 million of net gains (losses) on equity securities still held as of June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Net realized investment losses on equity securities still held for the first six months of 2020 were driven by the impact of changes in fair value attributable to the volatility in global financial markets associated with the global pandemic beginning in March 2020 related to the novel coronavirus COVID-19.
Unrealized Investment Losses
 
The following tables summarize, for all investments in an unrealized loss position at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the aggregate fair value and gross unrealized loss by length of time those securities have been continuously in an unrealized loss position.  The fair value amounts reported in the tables are estimates that are prepared using the process described in note 4 herein and in note 4 of notes to the consolidated financial statements in the Company’s 2019 Annual Report.  The Company also relies upon estimates of several credit and non-credit factors in its review and evaluation of individual investments, using the process described in note 1 of notes to the consolidated financial statements to determine whether credit impairment exists.

(1)Credit impairment charges recognized in net realized investment gains (losses) for the six months ended June 30, 2020 included $14 million credit losses on fixed maturity securities which the Company intends to sell. An allowance for expected credit losses was not previously recorded for these securities.
Total credit impairment charges included in net realized investment gains (losses) in the consolidated statement of income (loss) were $46 million and $1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and $62 million and $2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Additionally, net realized investment gains (losses) for the second quarter of 2020 included $40 million of realized losses related to the other-than-temporary impairment of the carrying value of an equity method investment included in other investments. Credit losses related to the fixed maturity portfolio for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 represented less than 1% of the fixed maturity portfolio on a pre-tax basis and less than 1% of shareholders’ equity on an after-tax basis at both June 30, 2020 and 2019. 

Other Investments
Included in other investments are private equity, hedge fund and real estate partnerships that are accounted for under the equity method of accounting and typically report their financial statement information to the Company one month to three months following the end of the reporting period. Accordingly, the disruption in global financial markets in the first quarter of 2020 associated with COVID-19 on net investment income from these investments is reflected in the Company's results for the second quarter of 2020.
