As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the gross unrealized losses on fixed maturity securities were composed of $453.0 million and $253.0 million, respectively, related to "1" highest quality or "2" high quality securities based on the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (“NAIC”) or equivalent rating and $7.7 million and $2.7 million, respectively, related to other than high or highest quality securities based on NAIC or equivalent rating. As of June 30, 2018, the $371.6 million of gross unrealized losses on fixed maturities of twelve months or more were concentrated in U.S. government bonds, commercial mortgage-backed securities and in the Company’s corporate securities within the consumer non-cyclical, utility and consumer cyclical sectors. As of December 31, 2017, the $248.0 million of gross unrealized losses on fixed maturities of twelve months or more were concentrated in U.S. government bonds, commercial mortgage-backed securities and in the Company’s corporate securities within the consumer non-cyclical and finance sectors. In accordance with its policy described in Note 2 to the Financial Statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company concluded that an adjustment to earnings for OTTI for these fixed maturity securities was not warranted at either June 30, 2018 or December 31, 2017. These conclusions were based on a detailed analysis of the underlying credit and cash flows on each security. Gross unrealized losses are primarily attributable to general credit spread widening, increases in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rate movements. As of June 30, 2018, the Company did not intend to sell these securities, and it was not more likely than not that the Company would be required to sell these securities before the anticipated recovery of the remaining amortized cost basis.
