[1] | The fair value of freestanding derivative liabilities is included in Other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The fair value of GMWB and GMAB, IUL, fixed deferred indexed annuity and structured variable annuity embedded derivatives is included in Policyholder account balances, future policy benefits and claims on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The fair value of the SMC embedded derivative liability is included in Customer deposits on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
[2] | The fair value of the Company’s derivative liabilities after considering the effects of master netting arrangements, cash collateral held by the same counterparty and the fair value of net embedded derivatives was $2.9 billion and $3.7 billion as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. See Note 13 for additional information related to master netting arrangements and cash collateral.
[3] | The weighted average for the spread to U.S. Treasuries for corporate debt securities (private placements) is weighted based on the security’s market value as a percentage of the aggregate market value of the securities.
[4] | The weighted average annual default rates of asset backed securities is weighted based on the security’s market value as a percentage of the aggregate market value of the securities.
[5] | The weighted average surrender rate is weighted based on the benefit base of each contract and represents the average assumption in the current year including the effect of a dynamic surrender formula.
[6] | The nonperformance risk is the spread added to the observable interest rates used in the valuation of the embedded derivatives.
[7] | The utilization of guaranteed withdrawals represents the percentage of contractholders that will begin withdrawing in any given year.
[8] | Market volatility is implied volatility of fund of funds and managed volatility funds.
[9] | The weighted average utilization rate represents the average assumption for the current year, weighting each policy evenly. The calculation excludes policies that have already started taking withdrawals.
[10] | The weighted average market volatility represents the average volatility across all contracts, weighted by the size of the guaranteed benefit.
[11] | The weighted average discount rate represents the average discount rate across all contingent consideration liabilities, weighted based on the size of the contingent consideration liability.
