(1)    Includes Level 3 mortgage loans that are recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis. Excludes $22 million and $23 million of equity method investments measured at fair value under the FVO using the NAV as a practical expedient as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
(2)    Excludes $5 million as of both March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, in investments in AssuredIM Funds for which the Company records a 100% NCI. The consolidation of these funds results in a gross up of assets and NCI on the consolidated financial statements; however, it results in no economic equity or net income attributable to AGL. As of December 31, 2022, excludes $127 million investment in the AssuredIM municipal relative value master fund, which is measured using NAV as a practical expedient.
(3)    Includes FG VIEs’ liabilities with recourse and FG VIEs’ liabilities without recourse. See Note 8, Financial Guaranty Variable Interest Entities and Consolidated Investment Vehicles.
