The cash flow assumptions used to amortize VOBA and DAC were consistent with the assumptions used to estimate the future policy benefit ("FPB") for life contingent immediate annuities, and will be reviewed and unlocked, if applicable, in the same period as those balances. For nonparticipating traditional life contracts, the VOBA amortization is straight-line, without the use of cash flow assumptions. For indexed annuity contracts, the cash flow assumptions used to amortize VOBA, DAC, and DSI were consistent with the assumptions used to estimate the value of the embedded derivative and MRBs, and will be reviewed and unlocked, if applicable, in the same period as those balances. For fixed rate annuities and IUL the cash flow assumptions used to amortize VOBA, DAC and DSI reflect the Company’s best estimates for policyholder behavior, consistent with the development of assumptions for indexed annuities and immediate annuities.
F&G reviews cash flow assumptions annually, generally in the third quarter. In 2024, F&G undertook a review of all significant assumptions and revised several assumptions relating to our deferred annuity (indexed annuity and fixed rate annuity) and IUL products. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, F&G updated the assumption for option budgets. For the year ended December 31, 2024, F&G updated assumptions including surrender rates, GMWB election timing, premium persistency, mortality improvement and option budgets. All updates to these assumptions brought F&G more in line with our Company and overall industry experience since the prior assumption update.
There has been no material change to the estimated future amortization expense of intangible assets since December 31, 2024.
