Financial Instruments [Abstract]  
Disclosure of maximum exposure to credit risk
The positive fair value of derivative assets is used to determine the credit risk exposure if the counterparties were to default. The credit risk exposure is the cost of replacing, at current market rates, all derivative contracts with a positive fair value. Additionally, we have credit exposure to items not on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position as follows:
As at December 31,20232022
Off-balance sheet item:
Loan commitments(1)
$2,061 $2,217 

(1)    Loan commitments include commitments to extend credit under commercial and multi-family residential mortgages and private debt securities not quoted in an active market. Commitments on debt securities contain provisions that allow for withdrawal of the commitment if there is deterioration in the credit quality of the borrower.
Disclosure of right of offset and collateral The following tables present the effect of conditional netting and similar arrangements. Similar arrangements include global master repurchase agreements, security lending agreements, and any related rights to financial collateral.

(1)    Included in Net investment income (loss) in our Consolidated Statements of Operations for Total invested assets measured at fair value.
(2)    Total gains and losses in net income (loss) and OCI are calculated assuming transfers into or out of Level 3 occur at the beginning of the period. For an asset or liability that transfers into Level 3 during the reporting period, the entire change in fair value for the period is included in the table above. For transfers out of Level 3 during the reporting period, the change in fair value for the period is excluded from the table above.
(3)    Investment properties included in net income is comprised of fair value changes on investment properties of $(486) for the year ended December 31, 2023, (December 31, 2022 — $667), net of amortization of leasing commissions and tenant inducements of $34 for the year ended December 31, 2023, (December 31, 2022 — $42). As at December 31, 2023, we have used assumptions that reflect known changes in the property values including changes in expected future cash flows.
(4)    Transfers into Level 3 occur when the inputs used to price the assets and liabilities lack observable market data, and as a result, no longer meet the Level 1 or 2 definitions at the reporting date. Transfers out of Level 3 occur when the pricing inputs become more transparent and satisfy the Level 1 or 2 criteria and are primarily the result of observable market data being available at the reporting date, thus removing the requirement to rely on inputs that lack observability.
(5)    Foreign currency translation relates to the foreign exchange impact of translating Level 3 assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries from their functional currencies to Canadian dollars.
(6)    Mortgages and loans were classified as amortized cost under IAS 39 for the year ended December 31, 2021. On application of the classification overlay on January 1, 2022, mortgages and loans are measured at FVTPL or FVOCI. During the fourth quarter of 2022, we had a change to our fair value methodology for mortgages and loans that constitutes a change in estimate as at December 31, 2022. Levelling changed from Level 3 to Level 2 as a result of applying fair value enhancements in valuing mortgages and loans supporting insurance liabilities. See Mortgages and loans section above for further details.
Fair value and foreign currency changes on assets and liabilities presented in our Consolidated Statements of Operations consist of the following:

(2)    In June 2022, we sold and leased back our Wellesley office in the U.S. The transaction qualified as a sale and operating lease and as a result, we recognized a pre-tax gain of $100 for the year ended December 31, 2022.
(3)    Net investment income (loss) on our Consolidated Statements of Operations of $(20,580) for the year ended December 31, 2022 includes Fair value and foreign currency changes on assets and liabilities in this table of $(26,582) and Total interest and other investment income of $6,002.

(1)    Exchange-traded derivatives with a positive fair value of $25 in 2023 (2022 — $38) are excluded from the table above, as they are subject to daily margining requirements. Our credit exposure on these derivatives is with the exchanges and clearinghouses.
(2)    Used to determine the credit risk exposure if the counterparties were to default. The credit risk exposure is the cost of replacing, at current market rates, all contracts with a positive fair value.
(3)    The credit risk associated with derivative assets subject to master netting arrangements is reduced by derivative liabilities due to the same counterparty in the event of default or early termination. Our overall exposure to credit risk reduced through master netting arrangements may change substantially following the reporting date as the exposure is affected by each transaction subject to the arrangement.
(4)    Net replacement cost is positive replacement cost less the impact of master netting agreements.

(1)Represents the respective change across all equity markets as at December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. Assumes that actual equity exposures consistently and precisely track the broader equity markets. Since in actual practice equity-related exposures differ from broad market indices (due to the impact of active management, basis risk, investments in private equity and other factors), realized sensitivities may differ significantly from those illustrated above. Sensitivities include the impact of re-balancing equity hedges for hedging programs at 2% intervals (for 10% changes in equity markets) and at 5% intervals (for 25% changes in equity markets).
(2)The market risk sensitivities include the estimated impact of our hedging programs in effect as at December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, and include new business added and product changes implemented prior to such dates.
(3)Net income and OCI sensitivities have been rounded in increments of $25. The sensitivities exclude the market impacts on the income from our joint ventures and associates, which we account for on an equity basis.
(4)Effective January 1, 2023, we adopted IFRS 17 and IFRS 9, and certain financial assets were reclassified between measurement categories as permitted. December 31, 2022 amounts provided in the sensitivities tables have been adjusted to reflect these January 1, 2023 reclassifications. See Note 2 for further details on the reclassifications.

(1)Interest rate sensitivities assume a parallel shift in assumed interest rates across the entire yield curve as at December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 with no change to the ultimate risk-free rate. Variations in realized yields based on factors such as different terms to maturity and geographies may result in realized sensitivities being significantly different from those illustrated above. Sensitivities include the impact of re-balancing interest rate hedges for hedging programs at 10 basis point intervals (for 50 basis point changes in interest rates).
