(a)Benefit obligation balances represent the projected benefit obligation for our qualified defined benefit pension plans, which is approximately equal to accumulated benefit obligation, and accumulated benefit obligation for our retiree medical and life insurance plans. (b)Actuarial gains for our qualified defined benefit pension plans in 2024 primarily reflect an increase in the discount rate from 5.00% at December 31, 2023 to 5.625% at December 31, 2024, which decreased benefit obligations by approximately $1.8 billion offset by net losses of approximately $250 million due to changes in demographic data and assumptions. Actuarial gains for our retiree medical and life insurance plans in 2024 primarily reflect an increase in the discount rate from 5.00% at December 31, 2023 to 5.50% at December 31, 2024 and gains due to changes in demographic data and assumptions. Actuarial losses for our qualified defined benefit pension plans in 2023 primarily reflect a decrease in the discount rate from 5.25% at December 31, 2022 to 5.00% at December 31, 2023, which increased benefit obligations by approximately $765 million. Actuarial losses for our retiree medical and life insurance plans in 2023 reflect a decrease in the discount rate from 5.25% at December 31, 2022 to 5.00% at December 31, 2023. (c)Qualified defined benefit pension plans settlements in 2023 include $414 million in the form of lump-sum settlement payments to former employees who had not commenced receiving their vested benefit payments. The settlement payments had no impact on year 2023 FAS pension income. (d)Actual return on plan assets for our qualified defined benefit pension plans was approximately 1% in 2024 and 7% in 2023 versus the 6.50% long-term rate of return assumption.

Schedule of Allocation of Plan Assets | LMIMCo’s investment policies require that asset allocations of postretirement benefit plans be maintained within the following approximate ranges:
Asset Class | Asset Allocation Ranges
Cash and cash equivalents | 0-20%
Global Equity | 10-65%
Fixed income | 10-60%
Alternative investments: |
Private equity funds | 5-30%
Real estate funds | 0-20%
Hedge funds | 0-20%
Commodities | 0-10%
The following table presents the fair value of the assets of our qualified defined benefit pension plans and retiree medical and life insurance plans by asset category and their level within the fair value hierarchy (see “Note 1 – Organization and Significant Accounting Policies - Investments” for definition of these levels), which we are required to disclose even though these assets are not separately recorded on our consolidated balance sheet. Certain investments are measured at their Net Asset Value (NAV) per share because such investments do not have readily determinable fair values and, therefore, are not required to be categorized in the fair value hierarchy. Assets measured at NAV have been included in the table below to permit reconciliation of the fair value hierarchy to amounts presented in the funded status table above.

(a)Cash and cash equivalents and equity securities include derivative assets and liabilities with fair values that were not material as of December 31, 2024 and 2023. LMIMCo’s investment policies restrict the use of derivatives to either establish long or short exposures for purposes consistent with applicable investment mandate guidelines or to hedge risks to the extent of a plan’s current exposure to such risks. Most derivative transactions are settled on a daily basis. (b)Fixed income securities include (i) derivative exposure for the liability hedge, which constitutes most of the value in interest rate swaps, and (ii) other derivative exposure with fair values that were not material as of December 31, 2024 and 2023. (c)Level 3 investments include 1.0 billion at December 31, 2024 and $1.1 billion at December 31, 2023 related to buy-in contracts.
