Fair Value Measurement

See Note 13 – “Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities” for information about fair value measurement of assets and liabilities, except for market risk benefits.

Market risk benefits are classified within Level 3 on the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of market risk benefits is monitored through the use of attribution reports to quantify the effect of underlying sources of fair value change, including capital market inputs based on policyholder account values, interest rates and short-term and long-term implied volatility from period to period.

During the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, there were no material changes made to the inputs in the market risk benefit calculations, and nonfinancial assumptions were unchanged.
