(a) Fair value amounts are shown before the effects of counterparty netting adjustments and offsetting cash collateral.

(b) As of March 31,2018 and December 31,2017, included CDSs on super senior multi-sector CDOs with a net notional amount of $661 million and $685 million (fair value liability of $245 million and $254 million), respectively. The expected weighted average maturity as of March 31,2018 is six years. Because of long-term maturities of the CDSs in the portfolio, we are unable to make reasonable estimates of the periods during which any payments would be made. However, the net notional amount represents the maximum exposure to loss on the portfolio. As of March 31,2018 and December 31,2017, there were no super senior corporate debt/CLOs remaining.

(c) Consists primarily of stable value wraps and contracts with multiple underlying exposures.

(d) Represents netting of derivative exposures covered by a qualifying master netting agreement.

(e) Represents cash collateral posted and received that is eligible for netting.

(f) Freestanding derivatives only, excludes Embedded derivatives. Derivative instrument assets and liabilities are recorded in Other Assets and Liabilities, respectively. Fair value of assets related to bifurcated Embedded derivatives was zero at both March 31,2018 and December 31, 2017. Fair value of liabilities related to bifurcated Embedded derivatives was $3.7 billion and $4.1 billion, respectively, at March 31,2018 and December 31, 2017. A bifurcated Embedded derivative is generally presented with the host contract in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Embedded derivatives are primarily related to guarantee features in variable annuity products, which include equity and interest rate components.
