| Supplemental Schedule of Reinsurance Premiums for Insurance Companies [Abstract] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Reinsurance | Reinsurance PFG reinsures portions of its insurance risks with other insurers as is customary in the industry. The following table provides additional information on PFG’s direct and ceded business as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012:
On October 29, 1999 and immediately prior to the acquisition of AGL by PFG, AGL entered into two reinsurance agreements with a reinsurance company (the reinsurer). Under the first reinsurance agreement, the reinsurer assumed as direct obligations approximately 90% of AGL’s in force ordinary life and annuity business and 100% of AGL’s accident and health business. Under the second reinsurance agreement effective October 29, 1999, the PFG reinsured all of its remaining in force ordinary life and annuity business to the reinsurer. The amount coinsured with the reinsurer is 100% of the policy obligations relating to the business. As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, ordinary life and annuity polices with reserves totaling $7,383 and $7,302, respectively, were reinsured with the reinsurer. PFG also ceded reserves to other reinsurers of $1,696 and $1,500 at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. At September 30, 2013 and December 2012, PFG ceded premiums of $7,886 and $10,537 respectively, to reinsurers and reported ceded death benefits of $0 and $2,385 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Should any reinsurer be unable to fulfill its obligation at the time of a claim, the ultimate liability remains with PFG as primary insurer. PFG evaluates the financial condition of its reinsurers and monitors concentrations of credit risk arising from activities or economic characteristics of the reinsurers in order to minimize exposure to significant loss from reinsurer insolvencies. |
