(1) The utilization of guaranteed withdrawals represents the percentage of contractholders that will begin withdrawing in any given year. The weighted average utilization rate represents the average assumption, weighted based on the benefit base. The calculation excludes policies that have already started taking withdrawals.
(2) The weighted average surrender rate represents the average assumption weighted based on the account value of each contract.
(3) Market volatility represents the implied volatility of each contractholder’s mix of funds. The weighted average market volatility represents the average volatility across all contracts, weighted by the size of the guaranteed benefit.
(4) The nonperformance risk is the spread added to the U.S. Treasury curve.
(5) The weighted average mortality rate represents the average assumption weighted based on the account value of each contract.
