Investment Contract Liabilities [Abstract]  
Investment Contract Liabilities Investment Contract Liabilities
Investment contract liabilities are contractual financial obligations of the Company that do not contain significant insurance risk.
Those contracts are subsequently measured either at fair value or at amortized cost.
Investment contract liabilities measured at fair value
Investment contract liabilities measured at fair value include certain investment savings and pension products which are
designated as FVTPL on initial recognition. The Company has no investment contract liabilities that are mandatorily designated
as FVTPL.
The following table presents the movement in investment contract liabilities measured at fair value.

The amount due to contract holders is contractually determined based on specified assets and therefore, the fair value of the
liabilities is subject to asset specific performance risk but not to the Company’s own credit risk, being fully collateralized by the
specified assets. The Company has determined that any residual credit risk is insignificant and has no significant impact on the
fair value of the liabilities.
Investment contract liabilities measured at amortized cost
Investment contract liabilities measured at amortized cost include fixed annuity products that provide guaranteed income
payments for contractually determined periods and are not contingent on survivorship.
The following table presents carrying and fair values of investment contract liabilities measured at amortized cost, by reporting
segment.

Carrying value reflects amortization at rates that exactly discount the projected cash flows to the net carrying amount of the
liabilities at the dates of issue.
Fair value is determined by projecting cash flows according to the contract terms and discounting the cash flows at current
market rates adjusted for the Company’s own credit standing. As at December 31, 2024 and 2023, the fair value of all investment
contract liabilities was determined using Level 2 valuation techniques.

(2)Includes amounts which have no specific maturity, being payable on demand.
Reinsurance contract assets backing investment contract liabilities
The Company holds reinsurance contracts backing investment contract liabilities described above. These reinsurance contracts
do not expose the reinsurer to significant insurance risk and are measured at FVOCI or amortized cost. There are no reinsurance
contract assets measured at FVTPL.
Fair value for all reinsurance contract assets backing investment contract liabilities is determined by projecting cash flows
according to the contract terms and discounting these cash flows at current market rates. As at December 31, 2024 and 2023,
the fair value of all reinsurance contract assets backing investment contract liabilities was determined using Level 2 valuation
techniques.
As at December 31, 2024, the fair value of reinsurance contract assets measured at FVOCI was $669 (2023$nil). The fair
value and carrying value of reinsurance contract assets measured at amortized cost were $978 and $1,052, respectively (2023 –
$27 and $27, respectively).
For contracts measured at FVOCI, interest income of $29 was recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Income and changes
in fair value of $24 was recorded in OCI for the year ended December 31, 2024 (2023$nil and $nil, respectively). There were
no amounts reclassified from AOCI to the Consolidated Statements of Income during the years presented.
For contracts measured at amortized cost, interest income of $41 was recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Income for
the year ended December 31, 2024 (2023 – $2).
