Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] |
Commitments and Contingent Liabilities | Commitments, Contingencies and Guarantees Commitments Funding of Investments The Company’s commitments to fund investments as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, are presented in the following table (dollars in millions):
| March 31, 2022 |  | December 31, 2021
Limited partnership interests and joint ventures | $ | 978 |  |  | $ | 1,031 |
Mortgage loans on real estate | 57 |  |  | 152 |
Bank loans and private placements | 914 |  |  | 768 |
Lifetime mortgages | 90 |  |  | 41 |
The Company anticipates that the majority of its current commitments will be invested over the next five years; however, these commitments could become due any time at the request of the counterparties. Bank loans and private placements are included in fixed maturity securities available-for-sale. The Company has an immaterial liability, included in other liabilities, for expected credit losses associated with unfunded commitments as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. Funding Agreements Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines The Company is a member of the FHLB and, through membership, has issued funding agreements to the FHLB in exchange for cash advances. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had $1.1 billion and $1.4 billion, respectively, of FHLB funding agreements outstanding. The Company is required to provide collateral in excess of the funding agreement amounts outstanding, considering any discounts to the securities posted and prepayment penalties. Funding Agreement Backed Notes The Company’s Funding Agreement Backed Notes (“FABN”) program allows RGA Global Funding, a special-purpose, unaffiliated statutory trust, to offer its senior secured medium-term notes to investors. RGA Global Funding uses the net proceeds from each sale to purchase one or more funding agreements from the Company. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had $900 million and $500 million, respectively, of FABN agreements outstanding and are included within interest-sensitive contract liabilities. Contingencies Litigation The Company is subject to litigation in the normal course of its business, however, the Company currently has no material litigation. A legal reserve is established when the Company is notified of an arbitration demand or litigation or is notified that an arbitration demand or litigation is imminent, it is probable that the Company will incur a loss as a result and the amount of the probable loss is reasonably capable of being estimated. Other Contingencies The Company indemnifies its directors and officers as provided in its charters and by-laws. Since this indemnity generally is not subject to limitation with respect to duration or amount, the Company does not believe that it is possible to determine the maximum potential amount due under this indemnity in the future. Guarantees Statutory Reserve Support Certain RGA subsidiaries have committed to provide statutory reserve support to third parties, in exchange for a fee, by funding loans if certain defined events occur. Such statutory reserves are required under the U.S. Valuation of Life Policies Model Regulation (commonly referred to as Regulation XXX for term life insurance policies and Regulation A-XXX for universal life secondary guarantees). In addition, certain subsidiaries have also committed to provide capital support to a third party, in exchange for a fee, by agreeing to assume real estate leases in the event of a severe and prolonged decline in the commercial lease market. Upon assumption of a lease, the Company would recognize a right to use asset and lease obligation. As of March 31, 2022, the Company does not believe that it will be required to provide any funding under these commitments as the occurrence of the defined events is considered remote. The following table presents the maximum potential obligation for these commitments as of March 31, 2022 (dollars in millions):
Commitment Period | Maximum Potential Obligation
2034 | $ | 1,243 |
2035 | 2,678 |
2036 | 3,599 |
2037 | 6,850 |
2038 | 2,300 |
2039 | 7,350 |
2046 | 3,000 |
Other Guarantees RGA has issued guarantees to third parties on behalf of its subsidiaries for the payment of amounts due under certain securities borrowing and repurchase arrangements, financing arrangements and office lease obligations, whereby, if a subsidiary fails to meet an obligation, RGA or one of its other subsidiaries will make a payment to fulfill the obligation. Additionally, in limited circumstances, treaty guarantees are granted to ceding companies in order to provide them additional security, particularly in cases where RGA’s subsidiary is relatively new, unrated, or not of a significant size, relative to the ceding company. Liabilities supported by the treaty guarantees, before consideration of any legally offsetting amounts due from the guaranteed party are reflected on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets in future policy benefits. Potential guaranteed amounts of future payments will vary depending on production levels and underwriting results. Guarantees related to securities borrowing and repurchase arrangements provide additional security to third parties should a subsidiary fail to provide securities when due. RGA’s guarantees issued as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, are reflected in the following table (dollars in millions):
| March 31, 2022 |  | December 31, 2021
Treaty guarantees | $ | 2,152 |  |  | $ | 2,208 |
Treaty guarantees, net of assets in trust | 1,253 |  |  | 1,281 |
Securities borrowing and repurchase arrangements | 177 |  |  | 134 |
