Reinsurance |
Reinsurance | 12. Reinsurance We reinsure a portion of the insurance risks associated with our individual disability, traditional life, universal life, medical and long-term care insurance as well as retail fixed annuity contracts with significant life insurance risk through reinsurance agreements with unaffiliated reinsurance companies, primarily on a quota share, excess loss, yearly renewable term or coinsurance basis. During the second quarter of 2022, we closed a coinsurance with funds withheld reinsurance transaction with Talcott Life & Annuity Re in which we ceded our in-force U.S. retail fixed annuity and ULSG blocks of business. The economics of the transaction were effective as of January 1, 2022. We use both the reinsurance and deposit methods of accounting for this transaction. For further information about this transaction, refer to Note 1, Nature of Operations and Significant Accounting Policies. We are contingently liable with respect to reinsurance ceded to other companies in the event the reinsurer is unable to meet the obligations it has assumed. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, we had $14,533.1 million and $13,541.5 million of reinsurance recoverable assets, respectively, included in reinsurance recoverable and deposit receivable on the consolidated statements of financial position, which does not reflect potentially offsetting impacts of collateral. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, we had $45.2 million and $39.4 million of reinsurance recoverable liabilities, respectively, included in future policy benefits and claims on the consolidated statements of financial condition. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, $14,404.5 million, or 99%, and $12,953.1 million, or 98%, were with our five largest ceded reinsurers, respectively. The effects of reinsurance on premiums and other considerations and policy and contract benefits were as follows: ​

​ Certain assets are reported at amortized cost while the fair value of those assets is reflected in the funds withheld payable. As of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had a $19,629.5 million and $20,436.1 million funds withheld payable, which was net of a $2,567.1 million and $3,652.8 million embedded derivative asset, respectively. The change in fair value of the embedded derivative was a gain (loss) of $(1,085.7) million, $3,652.8 million and $0.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. While the economic benefits of the funds withheld assets flow to Talcott Life & Annuity Re, we retain legal ownership of the assets within the funds withheld account. Guidelines are in place to ensure the investment risk is appropriately managed. Net investment income and net realized capital gains (losses) related to the assets on the consolidated statements of operations is reported net of the amounts that flow to Talcott Life & Annuity Re. The realized gains and losses that do not flow to Talcott Life & Annuity Re are reported in net realized capital gains (losses) on funds withheld assets on the consolidated statements of operations. Following are the components of net investment income on the funds withheld assets that were passed to Talcott Life & Annuity Re. ​
