Total investment income for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was $13.5 million and net investment income was $7.7 million. Total expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2015 were $5.8 million.
Net realized loss from investments of $(0.5) million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 were driven primarily by charge offs for consumer loans offset by the early full repayment of one portfolio company and other partial repayments.
The net change in unrealized loss from investments of $(4.2) million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was driven primarily by the negative credit related adjustment of three portfolio companies in the amount of $(4.7) million and the $(0.3) million reversal of a prior period unrealized gain as a result of the repayment of one investment. This was offset by the increase in value of one portfolio investment of $0.7 million. The remaining net change in unrealized loss from investments was due to a net increase in the market value of the remaining portfolio of $0.1 million.
Portfolio and Investment Activities
For the three months ended March 31, 2015, we originated two new investments and closed new add-on investments for a total increase to par in our portfolio of $18.1 million with a weighted average yield of 12.2%. For the three months ended March 31, 2015, repayments in our portfolio consisted of the early full repayment of three investments and partial repayments for a total of $29.9 million of par with a weighted average yield of 11.6%.
