| Amortized cost and fair values of debt securities by contractual maturity |
The amortized cost and fair values of fixed income securities at December 31, 2023, by contractual maturity, are shown in table 5.2 below. Actual maturities will differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties. Because most mortgage and asset-backed securities provide for periodic payments throughout their lives, they are listed in separate categories. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fixed income securities maturity schedule | Table | 5.2 | | | | | | | December 31, 2023 | | (In thousands) | | Amortized Cost | | Fair Value | | Due in one year or less | | $ | 645,017 | | | $ | 639,245 | | | Due after one year through five years | | 1,530,186 | | | 1,487,270 | | | Due after five years through ten years | | 1,824,666 | | | 1,708,591 | | | Due after ten years | | 920,094 | | | 782,408 | | | | 4,919,963 | | | 4,617,514 | | | | | | | | ABS | | 173,256 | | | 171,273 | | | RMBS | | 347,132 | | | 330,773 | | | CMBS | | 293,204 | | | 277,457 | | | CLOs | | 327,467 | | | 326,096 | | | Total as of December 31, 2023 | | $ | 6,061,022 | | | $ | 5,723,113 | |
