Market risk is the potential loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as premium amounts, interest rates and equity prices. We are exposed to market risk through our investments and borrowings under the JPM Credit Facility. We use derivative instruments to mitigate our risk related to the effect of rising interest rates on our cash flows. However, we do not use derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes.
Our invested assets are held primarily as cash and cash equivalents and fiduciary cash. To a lesser extent, we may also utilize certificates of deposit, U.S. treasury securities and professionally managed short duration fixed income funds. These investments are subject to market risk. The fair value of our invested assets at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 approximated their respective carrying values due to their short-term duration and therefore, such market risk is not considered to be material.

During January 2026, we entered into additional financing for the Incremental Term Loans, which provided $600 million of additional principal borrowings, thereby increasing the aggregate principal amount of our Term Loans under the JPM Credit Agreement to approximately $1.6 billion.
We have a floating-to-fixed interest rate swap agreement with a notional amount of $500 million, which exchanges the variable rate of the Term Loans, which are indexed to 1-month term SOFR, for a fixed rate of 3.244%. The objective of the swap, for which we elected hedge accounting, is to manage our exposure to interest rate risk by converting a portion of the floating rate cash flows of the Term Loans into fixed rate payments. This strategy provides predictability in interest expense and aligns with our risk management policy.
At June 30, 2026, we had outstanding borrowings of $1.6 billion under the Term Loans and $302.0 million under our Revolving Facility. The Term Loans bear interest based on a variable rate of term SOFR, plus an applicable margin of 250 bps, and the Revolving Facility bears interest at SOFR plus 185 bps to SOFR plus 260 bps based on total net leverage ratio. Taking the interest rate swap into consideration, an increase of 100 basis points on the SOFR rate at June 30, 2026 would have increased our annual interest expense under the JPM Credit Facility by $14.0 million.
Other than the amendment to the JPM Credit Agreement to increase the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans to $1.6 billion, there have been no material changes in market risk from the information presented in Part II, Item 7A.
