Insurance [Abstract] |
Long-duration Contracts | 9. Long-duration Contracts Interest sensitive contract liabilities – Interest sensitive contract liabilities primarily include: ▪traditional deferred annuities, ▪indexed annuities consisting of fixed indexed and index-linked variable annuities, ▪funding agreements, and ▪other investment-type contracts comprising of immediate annuities without significant mortality risk (which includes pension group annuities without life contingencies) and assumed endowments without significant mortality risks. The following represents a rollforward of the policyholder account balance by product within interest sensitive contract liabilities. Where explicit policyholder account balances do not exist, the disaggregated rollforward represents the recorded reserve.

Future policy benefits | $ | 50,284 |  |  | $ | 41,199 |
1 Reconciling items primarily include the deferred profit liability and negative VOBA associated with our liability for future policy benefits. Additionally, it includes reserves for our immaterial lines of business including term and whole life, accident and health and disability, as well as other insurance benefit reserves for our no-lapse guarantees with universal life contracts, all of which are fully ceded.
The following is a reconciliation of premiums to the condensed consolidated statements of income (loss):

Payout annuities with life contingencies | $ | 9,123 |  |  | $ | 7,708 |  |  |  |  |

Premiums | $ | 9,137 |  |  | $ | 7,724 |  |  |  |  |
1 Reconciling items premiums related to our immaterial lines of business including term and whole life, and accident and health and disability.
Gross premiums are recorded within premiums on the condensed consolidated statements of income (loss). Interest expense (accretion) related to future policy benefits was $751 million and $483 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and is recorded as a component of policy and other operating expenses on the condensed consolidated statements of income (loss). Significant assumptions and inputs to the calculation of future policy benefits for payout annuities with life contingencies include policyholder demographic data, assumptions for policyholder longevity and policyholder utilization for contracts with deferred lives, and discount rates. We base certain key assumptions related to policyholder behavior on industry standard data adjusted to align with actual company experience, if necessary. At least annually, we review all significant cash flow assumptions and update as necessary, unless emerging experience indicates a more frequent review is necessary. The discount rate reflects market observable inputs from upper-medium grade fixed income instrument yields and is interpolated, where necessary, to conform to the duration of our liabilities. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, future policy benefits for payout annuities with life contingencies increased by $8,047 million, which was primarily driven by $9,097 million of pension group annuity issuances and $751 million of interest accrual, partially offset by $1,748 million of benefit payments. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, future policy benefits for payout annuities with life contingencies increased by $19 million, which was primarily driven by $7,624 million of pension group annuity issuances and $483 million of interest accrual, partially offset by a $6,459 million change in discount rate assumptions related to an increase in rates and $1,480 million of benefit payments. The following represents the undiscounted and discounted expected future benefit payments for the liability for future policy benefits. As these relate to payout annuities for single premium immediate annuities with life contingencies, there are no expected future gross premiums.

During the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, we recorded reserve increases of $111 million and $29 million, respectively, to the condensed consolidated statements of income (loss) as a result of the present value of benefits and expenses exceeding the present value of gross premiums.

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, net market risk benefit liabilities increased by $273 million, which was primarily driven by $166 million in fees collected from policyholders and $74 million related to a decrease in discount rates across the curve. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, net market risk benefit liabilities decreased by $1,773 million, which was primarily driven by $1,558 million related to an increase in discount rates across the curve and a $576 million change in instrument-specific credit risk related to widening of credit spreads, partially offset by $165 million of changes related to equity market performance and $162 million of fees collected from policyholders. The determination of the fair value of market risk benefits requires the use of inputs related to fees and assessments and assumptions in determining the projected benefits in excess of the projected account balance. Judgment is required for both economic and actuarial assumptions, which can be either observable or unobservable, that impact future policyholder account growth. Economic assumptions include interest rates and implied volatilities throughout the duration of the liability. For indexed annuities, assumptions also include projected equity returns which impact cash flows attributable to indexed strategies, implied equity volatilities, expected index credits on the next policy anniversary date and future equity option costs. Assumptions related to the level of option budgets used for determining the future equity option costs and the impact on future policyholder account value growth are considered unobservable inputs. Policyholder behavior assumptions are unobservable inputs and are established using accepted actuarial valuation methods to estimate withdrawals (surrender rate) and income rider utilization. Assumptions are generally based on industry data and pricing assumptions which are updated for actual experience, if necessary. Actual experience may be limited for recently issued products. All inputs are used to project excess benefits and fees over a range of risk-neutral, stochastic interest rate scenarios. For indexed annuities, stochastic equity return scenarios are also included within the range. A risk margin is incorporated within the discount rate to reflect uncertainty in the projected cash flows such as variations in policyholder behavior, as well as a credit spread to reflect our nonperformance risk, which is considered an unobservable input. We use the credit spread, relative to the US Treasury curve based on our public credit rating as of the valuation date, as the credit spread to reflect our nonperformance risk in the estimate of the fair value of market risk benefits. The following summarizes the unobservable inputs for market risk benefits:
|  | June 30, 2023

1 The nonperformance risk weighted average is based on the cash flows underlying the market risk benefit reserve.
2 The option budget and surrender rate weighted averages are calculated based on projected account values.
3 The utilization of GLWB withdrawals represents the estimated percentage of policyholders that are expected to use their income rider over the duration of the contract, with the weighted average based on current account values.
