rates, equity prices, foreign currency exchange rates, and commodity prices. The primary components of market risk affecting us are credit risk, interest rate risk, and equity price risk.
Credit risk
Credit risk is the potential loss resulting from adverse changes in an issuer’s ability to repay its debt obligations. We have exposure to credit risk as a holder of fixed-maturity investments. Our risk management strategy and investment policy is to primarily invest in debt instruments of high credit quality issuers and to limit the amount of credit exposure with respect to particular ratings categories and any one issuer. As of both June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, our fixed-maturity and short-term securities portfolio had an average rating of “A-”, with approximately 30% and 32%, respectively, of securities in that portfolio rated “A” or better by at least one nationally recognized rating organization. Our policy is to invest predominantly in investment grade securities, while making strategic, risk-adjusted allocations to targeted investment opportunities across the credit spectrum. We monitor the financial condition of all of the issuers of fixed-maturity securities in our portfolio. The credit profile of our fixed-maturity and short-term securities portfolio was comprised of 27.2% AAA, 1.1% AA, 2.0% A, 52.4% BBB, 13.7% BB and 3.6% below BB or unrated securities as of June 30, 2026 and 28.3% AAA, 0.3% AA, 3.4% A, 56.2% BBB, 8.0% BB and 3.8% below BB or unrated securities as of December 31, 2025.
We are exposed to credit losses from reinsurers being unable to meet their obligations. We evaluate the financial condition of potential reinsurers and reinsure our business with highly rated reinsurers with a rating of “A-” (Excellent) or better from A.M. Best. Reinsurers who do not meet the Company’s rating criteria are required to post collateral. We have not experienced any credit losses from reinsurance recoverables and did not record an allowance for uncollectible reinsurance recoverables as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.
Interest rate risk
The market risk inherent in our financial instruments and in our financial position represents the potential loss arising from adverse changes in interest rates or exchange rates. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we had cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $262.2 million and $250.0 million, respectively, consisting of interest-bearing money market accounts and investments in government agency securities, for which the fair market value would be affected by changes in the general level of United States interest rates. However, due to the short-term maturities and the low-risk profile of our investments, an immediate 100 basis point change in interest rates would not have a material effect on the fair market value of our cash and investments.
Equity risk
Our Utility & Infrastructure Investments have equity risk due to the equity strategy, and therefore, we have indirect equity risk through our Utility & Infrastructure Investments. Equity risk represents the potential economic losses due to adverse changes in equity security prices.
