Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]

Schedule of Derivative Instruments

The table below provides a summary of the gross notional amount and fair value of derivatives contracts by the primary underlying risks, excluding embedded derivatives and associated reinsurance recoverables. Many derivative instruments contain multiple underlying risks. The fair value amounts below represent the gross fair value of derivative contracts prior to taking into account the netting effects of master netting agreements, cash collateral and non-performance risk (“NPR”). This netting impact results in total derivative assets of $812 million and $1,205 million as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively, and total derivative liabilities of $676 million and $643 million as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively, reflected in the Unaudited Interim Consolidated Statements of Financial Position.
