Includes perpetual security

Generally, declines in fair values can be a result of changes in interest rates, yen/dollar exchange rate, and changes

in net spreads driven by a broad market move or a change in the issuer's underlying credit quality. At times in 2016,

market volatility was at elevated levels, especially in the energy and commodity-related sectors. As we believe these

issuers have the ability to continue making timely payments of principal and interest, we view these changes in fair value

to be temporary and do not believe it is necessary to impair the carrying value of these securities. See the Unrealized

Investment Gains and Losses section in Note 3 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further

discussions of unrealized losses related to financial institutions, including perpetual securities, and other corporate

investments.

Securities by Type of Issuance

We have investments in both publicly and privately issued securities. Our ability to sell either type of security is a

function of overall market liquidity which is impacted by, among other things, the amount of outstanding securities of a

particular issuer or issuance, trading history of the issue or issuer, overall market conditions, and idiosyncratic events

affecting the specific issue or issuer.

The following table details investment securities by type of issuance as of December 31.
