Derivative Instruments Derivative Instruments
The Company enters into foreign currency forward contracts from time to time to help mitigate the impact that an adverse change in foreign exchange rates would have on the value of the Company’s investments denominated in foreign currencies. The Company enters into swap contracts in the normal course of business to manage its interest rate risk exposure. For derivative contracts, the Company enters into netting arrangements with its counterparties. In accordance with authoritative guidance, the Company offsets fair value amounts recognized for derivative instruments with the same security type and counterparty under a master netting arrangement.

During the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the average notional exposure for foreign currency forward contracts were $334.4 million and $220.7 million, respectively, and the average notional exposure for interest rate swaps were $626.0 million and $27.1 million, respectively.

The following tables summarize the aggregate notional amount and fair value of the Company’s derivative financial instruments as of December 31, 2023 and 2022.
