Level 3 financial assets and liabilities

 

The following tables set forth a summary of changes in the fair value of our Level 3 financial assets and liabilities. Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The securities which were transferred as of the end of each reporting period into Level 3 were due to decreased market observability of similar assets and/or significant inputs and transfers out of Level 3 were due to increased market activity on comparable assets or observability of inputs.

(1) Excludes Level 3 assets which are valued based upon non-binding independent third-party valuations for which unobservable inputs are not reasonably available to us.

 

Significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of variable annuity GMAB and GMWB liabilities are equity volatility, swap curve, mortality and lapse rates and an adjustment for non-performance risk. Keeping other inputs unchanged, an increase in the equity volatility would increase the fair value of the liability while an increase in the swap curve or CSA would result in a decrease to the fair value of the liability. The impact of changes in mortality and lapse rates are dependent on overall market conditions. The fair value of fixed indexed annuity and indexed universal life embedded derivative related to index credits is calculated using the swap curve, mortality and lapse rates, as well as an adjustment for non-performance risk. Keeping other inputs unchanged, an increase in any of these significant unobservable inputs would result in a decrease of the fixed indexed annuity embedded derivative liability.
