Portfolio Monitoring
The Company has a comprehensive portfolio monitoring process to
identify and evaluate each fixed maturity security whose carrying
value may be other-than-temporarily impaired.
For each fixed maturity security in an unrealized loss position,
the Company assesses whether management with the appropriate
authority has made the decision to sell or whether it is more
likely than not the Company will be required to sell the security
before recovery of the amortized cost basis for reasons such as
liquidity, contractual or regulatory purposes. If a security meets
either of these criteria, the security’s decline in fair
value is considered other-than-temporary and is recorded in
earnings.
If the Company has not made the decision to sell the fixed maturity
security and it is not more likely than not the Company will be
required to sell the fixed maturity security before recovery of its
amortized cost basis, the Company evaluates whether it expects to
receive cash flows sufficient to recover the entire amortized cost
basis of the security. The Company calculates the estimated
recovery value by discounting the best estimate of future cash
flows at the security’s original or current effective rate,
as appropriate, and compares this to the amortized cost of the
security. If the Company does not expect to receive cash flows
sufficient to recover the entire amortized cost basis of the fixed
maturity security, the credit loss component of the impairment is
recorded in earnings, with the remaining amount of the unrealized
loss related to other factors recognized in other comprehensive
income.
The Company’s portfolio monitoring process includes a
quarterly review of all securities to identify instances where the
fair value of a security compared to its amortized cost is below
established thresholds. The process also includes the monitoring of
other impairment indicators such as ratings, ratings downgrades and
payment defaults. The securities identified, in addition to other
securities for which the Company may have a concern, are evaluated
for potential other-than-temporary impairment using all reasonably
available information relevant to the collectability or recovery of
the security. Inherent in the Company’s evaluation of
other-than-temporary impairment for these fixed maturity securities
are assumptions and estimates about the financial condition and
future earnings potential of the issue or issuer. Some of the
factors that may be considered in evaluating whether a decline in
fair value is other than temporary are: 1) the financial condition,
near-term and long-term prospects of the issue or issuer, including
relevant industry specific market conditions and trends, geographic
location and implications of rating agency actions and offering
prices; 2) the specific reasons that a security is in an unrealized
loss position, including overall market conditions which could
affect liquidity; and 3) the length of time and extent to which the
fair value has been less than amortized cost.
