Separate Account Balances |
Separate Account Balances | 7. Separate Account Balances The separate accounts are legally segregated and are not subject to claims that arise out of any of our other business. The client, rather than us, directs the investments and bears the investment risk of these funds. The separate account assets represent the fair value of funds that are separately administered by us for contracts with equity, real estate and fixed income investments and are presented as a summary total within the consolidated statements of financial position. An equivalent amount is reported as separate account liabilities, which represent the obligation to return the monies to the client. Refer to Note 17, Fair Value Measurements, for further information on the valuation methodologies. We receive fees for mortality, withdrawal and expense risks, as well as administrative, maintenance and investment advisory services that are included in the consolidated statements of operations. Net deposits, net investment income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses of the separate accounts are not reflected in the consolidated statements of operations. The Retirement and Income Solutions segment offers variable annuity contracts that allow the policyholder to allocate deposits into various investment options in a separate account. The variable annuity contracts can also include GMWB riders and guaranteed minimum death benefit (“GMDB”) riders that are accounted for as MRBs. Retirement and Income Solutions also offers certain group annuity contracts that have separate accounts as an investment option. The Principal Asset Management segment offers certain retirement accumulation products in Latin America where the segregated funds and associated obligation to the client are consolidated as separate account assets and liabilities within the financial statements. We have determined that summary totals are the most meaningful presentation for these funds. The Benefits and Protection segment offers variable universal life products with separate account investment options. Refer to Note 10, Market Risk Benefits, for further information on the MRBs associated with the contracts mentioned above. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the separate accounts included a separate account valued at $78.7 million and $79.8 million, respectively, which primarily included shares of our stock that were allocated and issued to eligible participants of qualified employee benefit plans administered by us as part of the policy credits issued under our 2001 demutualization. These shares are included in both basic and diluted earnings per share calculations. In the consolidated statements of financial position, the separate account shares are recorded at fair value and are reported as separate account assets with a corresponding separate account liability. Changes in fair value of the separate account shares are reflected in both the separate account assets and separate account liabilities and do not impact our results of operations. Separate Account Assets The aggregate fair value of assets, by major investment category, supporting separate accounts were as follows: ​
