Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]  
Schedule of Derivative Instruments The table below provides a summary of the gross notional amount and fair value of derivatives contracts by the primary underlying risks, excluding embedded derivatives and associated reinsurance recoverables. Many derivative instruments contain multiple underlying risks. The fair value amounts below represent the value of derivative contracts prior to taking into account the netting effects of master netting agreements and cash collateral. This netting impact results in total derivative assets of $1,847 million and $1,906 million as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, and total derivative liabilities of $1,575 million and $792 million as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, reflected in the Unaudited Interim Consolidated Statements of Financial Position.
