Equity Method Investments and Joint Ventures [Abstract] |
Variable Interest Entities and Equity Method Investments | 8. Variable Interest Entities and Equity Method Investments Through our investment activities, we regularly invest in various entities including limited partnerships (“LPs”) and limited liability companies (“LLCs”) and frequently participate in the design with their sponsor, but in most cases, our involvement is limited to financing. Some of these investments have been determined to be variable interest entities (“VIEs”). In certain instances, in addition to an economic interest in the entity, the Company holds the power to direct the most significant activities of the entity and is deemed the primary beneficiary. The Company consolidates all VIEs in which it is the primary beneficiary. The assets of consolidated VIEs are restricted and must first be used to settle their liabilities. Creditors or beneficial interest holders of these VIEs have no recourse to the general credit of the Company, as the Company’s obligation is limited to the amount of its committed investment. The Company has not provided financial or other support to these consolidated VIEs in the form of liquidity arrangements, guarantees or other commitments to third-parties that may affect the fair value or risk of its variable interest in these VIEs as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. Consolidated Variable Interest Entities The assets and liabilities relating to the consolidated VIEs from our investment activities included in the financial statements are as follows:

Unconsolidated Variable Interest Entities For certain of the Company’s investments in various entities that are determined to be VIEs, the Company is not the primary beneficiary as it does not take an active role in the management of these investments. Such investments are reported in certain investment line items on the statements of financial position, including “Available-for-sale fixed maturity securities, fair value”, “Equity securities, at fair value”, “Mortgage loans on real estate, at amortized cost”, “Investment funds”, “Short-term investments” and “Other invested assets”. In some instances, a consolidated VIE involves one or more underlying entities for which the Company is not the primary beneficiary because it does not have the power to direct the most significant activities of these entities. These unconsolidated VIEs that are part of consolidated VIEs are reported primarily in “Real estate and real estate partnerships” on the statements of financial position. Creditors or beneficial interest holders of these VIEs have no recourse to the general credit of the Company, as the Company’s obligation is limited to the amount of its committed investment. The Company has not provided financial or other support to these unconsolidated VIEs in the form of liquidity arrangements, guarantees or other commitments to third-parties that may affect the fair value or risk of its variable interest in these VIEs as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The carrying amount and maximum exposure to loss relating to these unconsolidated VIEs are as follows:
|  | September 30, 2024 |  | December 31, 2023

Equity Method Investments The Company’s investments in investment funds, real estate partnerships, and other partnerships of which substantially all are limited liability companies (“LLCs”) or limited partnerships are accounted for using the equity method of accounting, except for certain investments that are fair valued due to the application of fair value option under ASC 825 or the consolidation of investment company VIE under ASC 946. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company’s equity accounted investments totaled $3.4 billion and $4.4 billion, respectively. The Company generally recognizes its share of earnings in its equity method investments within “Net investment income” using a three-month lag in instances where the investee’s financial information is not sufficiently timely or when the investee’s reporting period differs from the Company’s reporting period.
