Under fair value accounting required by our Canadian PRT business, movement in the fair value of the supporting assets is a primary driver of the movement of insurance reserves. In a duration matched portfolio, changes in the fair value of assets are largely offset by corresponding changes in the fair value of liabilities. The change in the value of the insurance reserves associated with the change in the value of the supporting assets is included within normal changes above. The insurance reserve from reinsurance activities is not sensitive to the fair value of the supporting assets under US GAAP reserve methodology.
The increases in future policy benefits during the three months ended and six months ended June 30, 2022 were mainly due to the impact of the acquisition of American National of $5.1 billion and the new business of $1.2 billion and $1.5 billion, offset by the negative impact of normal changes of $500 million and $829 million respectively, which was primarily driven by the market value changes from increases in interest rates. Management actions and changes in assumptions increased future policy benefits by $16 million for the three months ended and $53 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, resulting in net increases in future policy benefits, before the negative impact of foreign exchange of $70 million and $49 million respectively.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the policy and contract claims increased by $1.4 billion primarily driven by the additions from the acquisition of American National.


The acquisition of American National resulted in negative VOBA of $781 million related to the life and annuity business, and has been recognized in the Company's future policy benefits (life and annuities) and policyholders' account balances. Negative VOBA is amortized over 30 years using the straight-line method. Amortized negative VOBA revenue of $2 million was recorded since the acquisition date and we expect to record an additional $12 million for the remainder of 2022.
