For the quarter ended December 31, 2024, our investment portfolio's weighted-average performing income yield increased to 13.8% from 13.6% during the quarter ended September 30, 2024, primarily due to an increase in earned yields on our structured finance securities.

(3)		Realized yield is calculated as (a) the actual amount earned on interest-bearing investments, including interest, prepayment fees and amortization of net loan fees, divided by (b) the weighted-average of total interest-bearing investments at amortized cost, in each case, including debt investments on non-accrual status and non-performing structured finance securities.

During the quarters ended December 31, 2024 and September 30, 2024, we purchased $27.4 million of structured finance securities, which had a weighted-average effective yield of 22.7% at December 31, 2024, based on the original purchase cost and the yield as of period end.

As of December 31, 2024, based on fair value, our investment portfolio was comprised of the following:

Total investments of $409.7 million, which was equal to approximately 113% of amortized cost;

Equity investments of $108.6 million; and
Structured finance securities of $76.9 million.

During the quarter ended December 31, 2024, we sold a second lien debt investment, which was previously on non-accrual status, resulting in a net realized loss of $1.9 million. The net realized loss of $1.9 million was substantially recognized in prior fiscal periods as an unrealized loss and did not impact our net asset value during the quarter. No new loans were placed on non-accrual status during the quarter ended December 31, 2024.
