Fair Values of Assets and Liabilities

Summary of significant unobservable inputs used in fair value measurements of Level 3 assets and liabilities

The following tables provide a summary of the significant inputs and assumptions used in the fair value measurements developed by the Company or reasonably available to the Company of market risk benefits:


	December 31, 2023
	Fair Value		Valuation Technique	Significant Inputs and Assumptions	Range			Weighted Average
	(in millions)










Market risk benefits	$	335	Discounted cash flow	Utilization of guaranteed withdrawals (1)	0.0%	–	48.0%	11.6%
				Surrender rate (2)	0.3%	–	75.0%	3.7%
				Market volatility (3)	0.0%	–	25.2%	10.6%
				Nonperformance risk (4)	85 bps			85 bps
				Mortality rate (5)	0.0%	–	41.6%	1.6%


	December 31, 2022
	Fair Value		Valuation Technique	Significant Inputs and Assumptions	Range			Weighted Average
	(in millions)










Market risk benefits	$	1,103	Discounted cash flow	Utilization of guaranteed withdrawals (1)	0.0%	–	48.0%	11.0%
				Surrender rate (2)	0.2%	–	45.6%	3.6%

				Nonperformance risk (4)	95 bps			95 bps
				Mortality rate (5)	0.0%	–	41.6%	1.5%

(1) The utilization of guaranteed withdrawals represents the percentage of contractholders that will begin withdrawing in any given year. The weighted average utilization rate represents the average assumption, weighted based on the benefit base. The calculation excludes policies that have already started taking withdrawals.

(2) The weighted average surrender rate represents the average assumption weighted based on the account value of each contract.

(3) Market volatility represents the implied volatility of each contractholder’s mix of funds. The weighted average market volatility represents the average volatility across all contracts, weighted by the size of the guaranteed benefit.

(4) The nonperformance risk is the spread added to the U.S. Treasury curve.

(5) The weighted average mortality rate represents the average assumption weighted based on the account value of each contract.

The following tables provide a summary of the significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurements developed by the Company or reasonably available to the Company of Level 3 assets and liabilities:

Structured variable annuity embedded derivatives	$	(137)	(6)	Discounted cash flow	Surrender rate (3)	0.8%		–	40.0%	0.9%
					Nonperformance risk (4)	95 bps				95 bps
Contingent consideration liabilities	$	62		Discounted cash flow	Discount rate (5)	0.0	%	–	10.5%	3.3%
