Fair Value Hedges The Company designates and reports the following as fair value hedges when they meet the requirements of the general accounting principles for Derivatives and Hedging: (i) certain foreign currency swaps to hedge the foreign currency fair value exposure of foreign currency denominated assets; and (ii) interest rate swaps to convert fixed rate liabilities to floating rate liabilities. The gain or loss on the hedged item attributable to a change in interest rates or foreign currency and the offsetting gain or loss on the related interest rate or foreign currency swaps for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 are as follows (dollars in millions):

Cash Flow Hedges Certain derivative instruments are designated as cash flow hedges when they meet the requirements of the general accounting principles for Derivatives and Hedging. The Company designates and accounts for the following as cash flow hedges: (i) certain interest rate swaps, in which the cash flows of assets and liabilities are variable based on a benchmark rate; (ii) certain interest rate swaps, in which floating rate assets are converted to fixed rate assets; (iii) forward bond purchase commitments; and (iv) certain foreign currency swaps, in which the cash flows of assets are denominated in different currencies, commonly referred to as cross-currency swaps. The following table presents the cash flow hedge components of AOCI, before income taxes, and where the gain or loss related to cash flow hedges is recognized on the condensed consolidated statements of income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 (dollars in millions):

As of June 30, 2024, approximately $36 million of before-tax deferred net losses on derivative instruments recorded in AOCI are expected to be reclassified to net investment income during the next twelve months. For the same time period, approximately $10 million of before-tax deferred net gains on derivative instruments recorded in AOCI are expected to be reclassified to interest expense during the next twelve months. The following table presents the effect of derivatives in cash flow hedging relationships on the condensed consolidated statements of income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 (dollars in millions):
Derivative Type |  | Gains (Losses) Deferred in OCI |  | Gains (Losses) Reclassified into Income from AOCI

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, there were no material amounts reclassified into earnings relating to instances in which the Company discontinued cash flow hedge accounting because the forecasted transaction did not occur by the anticipated date or within the additional time period permitted by the authoritative guidance for the accounting for derivatives and hedging. Hedges of Net Investments in Foreign Operations The Company uses foreign currency swaps and foreign currency forwards to hedge a portion of its net investment in certain foreign operations against adverse movements in exchange rates. The following table illustrates the Company’s net investments in foreign operations (“NIFO”) hedges and the gains (losses) deferred in OCI for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 (dollars in millions):
|  | Derivative Gains (Losses) Deferred in OCI
|  | Three months ended June 30, |  | Six months ended June 30,
Derivative Type |  | 2024 |  | 2023 |  | 2024 |  | 2023
Foreign currency swaps |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | — |
Foreign currency forwards |  | 11 |  |  | (21) |  |  | 36 |  |  | (21) |
Total |  | $ | 11 |  |  | $ | (21) |  |  | $ | 36 |  |  | $ | (21) |
The cumulative foreign currency translation gain recorded in AOCI related to these hedges was $219 million and $183 million as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. If a hedged foreign operation was sold or substantially liquidated, the amounts in AOCI would be reclassified to the condensed consolidated statements of income. A pro rata portion would be reclassified upon partial sale of a hedged foreign operation. There were no sales or substantial liquidations of net investments in foreign operations that would have required the reclassification of gains or losses from AOCI into investment income during the periods presented. Non-qualifying Derivatives and Derivatives for Purposes Other Than Hedging The Company uses various other derivative instruments for risk management purposes that either do not qualify or have not been elected for hedge accounting treatment. The gain or loss related to the change in fair value for these derivative instruments is recognized in investment related gains (losses), net, except where otherwise noted. A summary of the effect of non-qualifying derivatives, including embedded derivatives, on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 is as follows (dollars in millions):

(1)The rating agency designations are based on ratings from Standard and Poor’s (“S&P”). (2)Assumes the value of the referenced credit obligations is zero. (3)The weighted average years to maturity of the credit default swaps is calculated based on weighted average notional amounts. Netting Arrangements and Credit Risk Certain of the Company’s freestanding derivatives are subject to enforceable master netting arrangements and reported as a net asset or liability in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company nets all derivatives that are subject to such arrangements. The Company has elected to include all freestanding derivatives in the table below, irrespective of whether they are subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or a similar agreement. See Note 10 – “Investments” for information regarding the Company’s securities borrowing, lending and repurchase/reverse repurchase agreements. The following table provides information relating to the netting of the Company’s derivative instruments as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 (dollars in millions):
|  | Gross Amounts Recognized |  | Gross Amounts Offset in the Balance Sheet |  | Net Amounts Presented in the Balance Sheet |  | Financial Instruments / Collateral (1) |  | Net Amount

(1)Includes initial margin posted to a central clearing partner for financial instruments and excludes the excess of collateral received/pledged from/to the counterparty. The Company may be exposed to credit-related losses in the event of non-performance by counterparties to derivative financial instruments. Generally, the credit exposure of the Company’s derivative contracts is limited to the fair value and accrued interest of non-collateralized derivative contracts in an asset position at the reporting date. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had credit exposure of $14 million. Derivatives may be exchange-traded or they may be privately negotiated contracts, which are referred to as over-the-counter (“OTC”) derivatives. Certain of the Company’s OTC derivatives are cleared and settled through central clearing counterparties (“OTC cleared”) and others are bilateral contracts between two counterparties. Additionally, the Company is required to pledge initial margin for certain OTC-bilateral derivative transactions. The Company manages its credit risk related to OTC derivatives by entering into transactions with creditworthy counterparties, maintaining collateral arrangements and through the use of master netting agreements that provide for a single net payment to be made by one counterparty to another at each due date and upon termination. The Company is only exposed to the default of the central clearing counterparties for OTC cleared derivatives, and these transactions require initial and daily variation margin collateral postings. Exchange-traded derivatives are settled on a daily basis, thereby reducing the credit risk exposure in the event of non-performance by counterparties to such financial instruments.
