Pre-refunded bonds of $1.04 billion and $2.34 billion at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, were bonds for which U.S. states or municipalities have established irrevocable trusts that are 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 the sales of fixed maturities classified as available for sale were $4.62 billion and $3.95 billion during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Gross gains of $26 million and $17 million and gross losses of $93 million and $52 million were realized on those sales during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized $11 million and $110 million of net losses on equity securities still held as of September 30, 2023 and 2022, 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, 2023 and December 31, 2022, 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 2022 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 2022 Annual Report to determine whether a credit loss impairment exists.

Increases in interest rates resulted in the gross unrealized investment losses disclosed in the tables above; however, the net unrealized loss is considered temporary in nature as the decrease in value is not due to credit impairments and there is no impact on expected contractual cash flows from fixed maturities.
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):

Total net impairment charges, including credit impairments, reported in net realized investment losses in the consolidated statement of income, were $1 million and $14 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $2 million and $35 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Credit losses related to the fixed maturity portfolio for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 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.
