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. D uring the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, there were no material changes made to the inputs in the market risk benefits calculations, and nonfinancial assumptions were unchanged.
