Separate Accounts Disclosure [Abstract] |
Separate Account | 7. Separate Accounts Separate account assets consist of investment accounts established and maintained by the Company. The investment objectives of these assets are directed by the contractholder. An equivalent amount is reported as separate account liabilities. These accounts are reported separately from the general account assets and liabilities. Separate account assets and liabilities include two categories of account types: pass-through separate accounts totaling $113.6 billion and $115.6 billion at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, for which the contractholder assumes all investment risk, and separate accounts for which the Company contractually guarantees either a minimum return or account value to the contractholder which totaled $25.9 billion and $29.0 billion at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The latter category consisted primarily of GICs. The average interest rate credited on these contracts was 2.6% at both December 31, 2024 and 2023.
