These trusts were created to fund the payment of principal and interest due under the bonds. Proceeds from the sales of fixed maturities classified as available for sale were $3.95 billion and $2.86 billion during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Gross gains of $17 million and $56 million and gross losses of $52 million and $5 million were realized on those sales during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Equity Securities The cost and fair value of investments in equity securities were as follows: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fair | (at September 30, 2022, in millions) | | Cost | | Gross Gains | | Gross Losses | | Value | Common stock | | $ | 704 | | | $ | 55 | | | $ | 43 | | | $ | 716 | | Non-redeemable preferred stock | | 53 | | | 6 | | | 1 | | | 58 | | Total | | $ | 757 | | | $ | 61 | | | $ | 44 | | | $ | 774 | |

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company recognized $(110) million and $45 million of net gains (losses) on equity securities still held as of September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Unrealized Investment Losses The following tables summarize, for all fixed maturities classified as available for sale in an unrealized loss position at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the aggregate fair value and gross unrealized loss by the 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 the notes to the consolidated financial statements in the Company’s 2021 Annual Report. The Company also relies upon estimates of several factors in its review and evaluation of individual investments, using the process described in note 1 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements in the Company’s 2021 Annual Report to determine whether a credit loss impairment exists.

The following table summarizes, for all fixed maturities reported at fair value for which fair value is less than 80% of amortized cost at September 30, 2022, the gross unrealized investment loss by length of time those securities have continuously been in an unrealized loss position of greater than 20% of amortized cost:

At December 31, 2021, the Company had no fixed maturity investments reported at fair value for which fair value was less than 80% of amortized cost. Recent increases in interest rates resulted in the gross unrealized investment losses above; however, since the Company generally holds its high-quality fixed maturity investments to maturity, the net unrealized loss is generally considered temporary in nature and is not expected to result in significant realized losses. Credit Impairment Charges The following tables present changes in the allowance for expected credit losses on fixed maturities classified as available for sale for the category of Corporate and All Other Bonds (no other categories of fixed maturities currently have an allowance for expected credit losses): | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fixed Maturities | | | Corporate and All Other Bonds | | | At and For the Three Months Ended | | | (in millions) | | September 30, 2022 | | | | September 30, 2021 | | | | | | | | | | Balance, beginning of period | | $ | 4 | | | | | $ | 2 | | | | Additions for expected credit losses on securities where no credit losses were previously recognized | | — | | | | | — | | | | Additions (reductions) for expected credit losses on securities where credit losses were previously recognized | | — | | | | | 1 | | | | Reductions due to sales/defaults of credit-impaired securities | | (1) | | | | | (1) | | | | Reductions for impairments of securities which the Company intends to sell or more likely than not will be required to sell | | — | | | | | — | | | | Balance, end of period | | $ | 3 | | | | | $ | 2 | | | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fixed Maturities | | | Corporate and All Other Bonds | | | At and For the Nine Months Ended | | | (in millions) | | September 30, 2022 | | September 30, 2021 | | | | | | | | | | Balance, beginning of period | | $ | 3 | | | | | $ | 2 | | | | Additions for expected credit losses on securities where no credit losses were previously recognized | | — | | | | | 1 | | | | Additions (reductions) for expected credit losses on securities where credit losses were previously recognized | | 1 | | | | | — | | | | Reductions due to sales/defaults of credit-impaired securities | | (1) | | | | | (1) | | | | Reductions for impairments of securities which the Company intends to sell or more likely than not will be required to sell | | — | | | | | — | | | | Balance, end of period | | $ | 3 | | | | | $ | 2 | | | |
Total net impairment charges, including credit impairments, reported in net realized investment gains (losses) in the consolidated statement of income, were $14 million and $1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $35 million and $1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Credit losses related to the fixed maturity portfolio for both the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 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.
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, net investment income from these other investments is generally reflected in the Company's financial statements on a quarter lag basis.
