[1] | 20. Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss The components of accumulated other comprehensive loss is as follows:
|  | March 31,
|  | 2021 |  | 2020
Foreign currency translation adjustment – net of tax |  | $ | (21,776) |  |  | $ | (34,359) |
Pension liability – net of tax |  | (38,081) |  |  | (79,651) |
Postretirement obligations – net of tax |  | 1,989 |  |  | 1,950 |
Split-dollar life insurance arrangements – net of tax |  | (1,264) |  |  | (1,340) |
Derivatives qualifying as hedges – net of tax |  | (854) |  |  | (950) |
Accumulated other comprehensive loss |  | $ | (59,986) |  |  | $ | (114,350) |
The deferred taxes related to the adjustments associated with the items included in accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of deferred tax asset valuation allowances, were $(13,305,000), $7,445,000, and $2,566,000 for fiscal 2021, 2020, and 2019 respectively. Refer to Note 17 for discussion of the deferred tax asset valuation allowance. In the period subsequent to our initial recording of the valuation allowance in fiscal 2011, increases and decreases to both the deferred tax assets associated with items in accumulated other comprehensive loss, and the valuation allowance, have been recorded as offsets to comprehensive income. As a result of the Act as described in Note 17, the Company recorded as an offsetting entry a $(7,251,000) stranded tax effect in the minimum pension liability component and a $(194,000) stranded tax effect in the split dollar life insurance arrangement component of other comprehensive income in fiscal 2018. The stranded tax effect related to the other post retirement obligations component was not material. As a result of the recording of a deferred tax asset valuation allowance in fiscal 2011, the Company recorded as an offsetting entry a $7,605,000 stranded tax effect in the minimum pension liability component, $935,000 stranded tax effect in the other post retirement obligations component and a $747,000 stranded tax effect in the split dollar life insurance arrangement component of other comprehensive income. With the reversal of that valuation allowance in fiscal 2013, the Company recorded the reversal of the valuation allowance as a reduction of income taxes in the consolidated statement of operations. As a result of the recording of a deferred tax asset valuation allowance in fiscal 2005, the Company recorded as an offsetting entry a $406,000 stranded tax effect in the minimum pension liability component of other comprehensive income. With the reversal of that valuation allowance in fiscal 2006, the Company recorded the reversal of the valuation allowance as a reduction of income taxes in the consolidated statement of operations. The stranded tax effects described above are in accordance with ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes” even though the impact of the act and the deferred tax asset valuation allowance described above were initially established as an adjustment to comprehensive income. This amount will remain indefinitely as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss. The activity by year related to investments, including reclassification adjustments for activity included in earnings are as follows (all items shown net of tax):
|  | Year Ended March 31,
|  | 2021 |  | 2020 |  | 2019
