Auditing the Company’s reserve for title claim losses was complex because of the highly judgmental nature of the determination of the loss provision rates used in the valuation of the reserve for title claim losses.
−Removed: The significant judgment was primarily due to the sensitivity of management’s estimate to claim loss history, industry trends, current legal environment, and geographic considerations.
+Added: The significant judgment was primarily due to the sensitivity of management’s estimate to claim loss history, industry trends, and current legal environment.
How we Addressed the
1 unchanged sentence
These controls included, among others, the review and approval process management has in place for the development of the loss provision rates and the estimation of the reserve for title claim losses.
−Removed: To evaluate the judgment used by management in determining the loss provision rates, among other procedures, we considered claim loss history, industry trends, current legal environment and geographic considerations, and how management assessed these factors in the current period as compared to prior periods.
+Added: To evaluate the judgment used by management in determining the loss provision rates, among other procedures, we considered claim loss history, industry trends, current legal environment, and how management assessed these factors in the current period as compared to prior periods.
We involved actuarial professionals with specialized skills and industry knowledge, who assisted in performing an evaluation of the Company’s current year loss provision rates compared with those used in prior periods, as well as a review of loss development experience for prior years.
We also independently calculated a range of reasonable reserve estimates which we compared to management’s recorded reserve for title claim losses.
−Removed: Value of Business Acquired (VOBA), Deferred Acquisition Costs (DAC), Deferred Sales Inducements (DSI) and secondary guarantee liabilities
−Removed: Description of the Matter
−Removed: At December 31, 2022 VOBA, DAC, and DSI reported within other intangible assets, net totaled $3.7 billion and contractholder funds totaled $41.2 billion, a portion of which related to indexed universal life (IUL)-type and Investment-type contracts with secondary guarantees.
−Removed: As discussed in Note A to the consolidated financial statements, VOBA, DAC, and DSI are generally amortized over the lives of the policies in relation to the emergence of actual gross profits (AGPs) and estimated gross profits (EGPs).
−Removed: Secondary guarantee liabilities on IUL-type products or Investment-type contracts are calculated by multiplying the benefit ratio by the cumulative assessments recorded from contract inception through the balance sheet date less the cumulative secondary guarantee benefit payments plus interest.
−Removed: The benefit ratio is the ratio of the present value of secondary guarantees to the present value of the assessments used to provide the secondary guarantees.
−Removed: The assessments are calculated using the same assumptions used in VOBA, DAC, and DSI EGPs.
−Removed: There is significant uncertainty inherent in calculating EGPs and assessments as the calculation is sensitive to management’s best estimate of assumptions such as earned rate, budgeted option costs, surrender rates, mortality, and guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefit (GMWB) utilization.
−Removed: Changes in assumptions, including the Company’s earned rate, budgeted option costs, surrender rates, mortality, and GMWB utilization can have a significant impact on the pattern of EGPs of the underlying business and as a result the amortization of VOBA, DAC and DSI balances.
−Removed: Management’s assumptions are adjusted, also known as unlocking, based on actual policyholder behavior and market experience and projecting for expected trends.
−Removed: The unlocking results in amortization being recalculated using the new assumptions for estimated gross profits, resulting either in additional or less cumulative amortization expense.
−Removed: Additionally, if experience or assumption changes result in a new benefit ratio, the secondary guarantee liabilities are adjusted to reflect the changes in a manner similar to the unlocking of VOBA, DAC, and DSI.
−Removed: Auditing the valuation of the Company’s VOBA, DAC, and DSI that are amortized in relation to the emergence of AGPs/EGPs and valuation of secondary guarantee liabilities on IUL-type products or Investment-type contracts was complex because of the highly judgmental nature of the methods used and determination of the assumptions applied to determine the EGPs and assessments.
−Removed: The high degree of judgment was primarily due to the sensitivity of the EGPs and assessments to the methods used and assumptions applied which have a significant effect on the valuation of VOBA, DAC, DSI and secondary guarantee liabilities on IUL-type products or Investment-type contracts.
−Removed: How we Addressed the
−Removed: Matter in Our Audit We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of the Company’s controls over the VOBA, DAC, DSI, and contractholder funds estimation processes.
−Removed: These controls included, among others, the review and approval process management has in place for the development of the significant assumptions described above.
−Removed: To evaluate the judgment used by management in determining the EGPs and assessments, among other procedures, we involved actuarial specialists and evaluated the methodology applied by management in determining the EGPs and assessments with those used in prior periods.
−Removed: To evaluate the significant assumptions used by management, we compared policyholder behavior assumptions that we identified as being higher risk to prior actual experience, observable market data or management’s estimates of prospective changes in these assumptions.
−Removed: We performed an independent recalculation of EGPs and secondary guarantee liabilities for a sample of product cohorts, which we compared to the actuarial model used by management.
−Removed: Valuation of Investments in Securities
−Removed: Description of the Matter
−Removed: The Company’s fair value of fixed maturity securities totaled $33.1 billion as of December 31, 2022.
−Removed: The fair value of a subset of these securities, including asset backed securities and bonds, is based on non-binding broker quotes as described in Note D to the consolidated financial statements.
−Removed: The lack of visibility into assumptions used in non-binding broker quotes is a significant unobservable input, which creates greater subjectivity when determining the fair values.
−Removed: Auditing the fair value of the securities valued by brokers was especially challenging because determining the fair value is complex and highly judgmental and involves using inputs and assumptions that are not directly observable in the market.
−Removed: How we Addressed the
−Removed: Matter in Our Audit
−Removed: We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of management’s valuation process for broker-quoted securities.
−Removed: These controls included management’s evaluation of the broker-quoted values compared to an independently calculated range of values.
−Removed: To test the fair value of the securities, we utilized the support of our valuation specialists which included, among other procedures, independently calculating a reasonable range of fair values for a sample of securities based on independently obtained information or available transaction data for similar securities.
−Removed: We compared these ranges to management’s estimates of fair value for the selected securities.
−Removed: Assumptions related to Fixed Indexed Annuity Embedded Derivative Liability
+Added: Fixed Indexed Annuity Embedded Derivative Liability, Market Risk Benefits, and Future Policy Benefits Liability
Description of the Matter
−Removed: As of December 31, 2022, the fair value of the Company’s fixed indexed annuity embedded derivative liability totaled $3.1 billion.
−Removed: Certain of the Company’s fixed indexed annuity contracts allow the policyholder to elect an equity index linked feature, where amounts credited to the contract’s account value are linked to the performance of designated equity indices selected by the policyholder.
−Removed: The equity index crediting feature is accounted for as an embedded derivative liability and reported at fair value as discussed in Note D to the consolidated financial statements.
−Removed: Auditing the valuation of the Company’s fixed indexed annuity embedded derivative was complex because of the highly judgmental nature of the determination of the assumptions required to determine the fair value of the embedded derivative.
−Removed: In particular, the fair value was sensitive to the significant assumptions used to determine future policy growth including the mortality, surrender rates, partial withdrawals, GMWB utilization, non-performance spread, and option cost.
−Removed: There is significant uncertainty inherent in determining the mortality, surrender rates, partial withdrawals, GMWB utilization, non-performance spread and option cost assumptions.
+Added: At December 31, 2023, the fair value of the Company’s fixed indexed annuity embedded derivative liability totaled $4.3 billion.
+Added: Certain of the Company’s fixed indexed annuity (FIA) contracts allow the policyholder to elect an equity index linked feature, where amounts credited to the contract’s account value are linked to the performance of designated equity indices and crediting strategy selected by the policyholder.
+Added: The equity index crediting feature is accounted for as an embedded derivative liability and reported at fair value as discussed in Notes A (see section on Contractholder Funds), D, F, and Y to the consolidated financial statements.
+Added: A subset of FIA contracts include certain contract features that provide minimum guarantees to policyholders, such as guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefits and guaranteed minimum death benefit features that are market risk benefits (MRB) measured at fair value as discussed in Notes A (see section on MRBs), D, W and X to the consolidated financial statements.
+Added: The Company’s MRB assets and MRB liabilities totaled $88 million and $403 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2023.
+Added: At December 31, 2023, future policy benefits (FPB) liabilities related to traditional life and life-contingent immediate annuity policies (which includes life-contingent pension risk transfer annuities) totaled $7.0 billion.
+Added: The future policy benefits liability related to these products is based on estimates of how much the Company will need to pay for future benefits and related claim expenses and the amount of net premiums to be collected from policyholders as discussed in Notes A (see section on Future Policy Benefits), W, and Z to the consolidated financial statements.
+Added: Auditing the valuation of the Company’s fixed indexed annuity embedded derivative, MRBs, and FPB liabilities was complex because of the highly judgmental nature of the determination of the assumptions required to determine the fair value of the embedded derivative and MRBs and valuation of FPB liabilities.
+Added: In particular, the fair value of fixed indexed annuity embedded derivative and MRBs was sensitive to the significant assumptions including surrender rates, GMWB utilization, and non-performance spread.
+Added: In addition, option cost was a significant assumption used in the valuation of fixed index annuity embedded derivatives and mortality, partial withdrawals, and capital market performance scenarios were significant assumptions used in the valuation of MRBs.
+Added: Mortality is a significant assumption used in the valuation of FPB liabilities.
How we Addressed the
−Removed: Matter in Our Audit
−Removed: We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design, and tested the operating effectiveness of the Company’s controls over management’s process for the development of the significant assumptions used in measuring the fair value of the embedded derivative for fixed indexed annuities.
+Added: Matter in Our Audit We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design, and tested the operating effectiveness of the Company’s controls over management’s process for the development of the significant assumptions used in measuring the fair value of the embedded derivative for fixed indexed annuities and MRBs and the valuation of FPB liabilities.
These controls included, among others, the review and approval process management has in place for the development of the significant assumptions.
−Removed: To evaluate the judgment used by management in determining the assumptions used in measuring the fair value of the fixed indexed annuity embedded derivative, among other procedures, we involved actuarial specialists and evaluated the methodology applied by management in determining the fair value with those used in the prior period and in the industry.
−Removed: To evaluate the significant assumptions used by management in the methodology applied, we compared policyholder behavior assumptions to prior actual experience and management’s estimate of prospective changes in the assumptions.
−Removed: In addition, we compared the nonperformance spread and option costs assumptions to observable market data.
−Removed: We performed an independent recalculation of the embedded derivative for a sample of products for comparison with the actuarial model used by management.

+Added: The FPB is determined as the present value of future policy benefits and related claims expenses to be paid to or on behalf of the policyholder less the present value of future net premiums to be collected from policyholders.
+Added: The FPB for traditional life policies and life-contingent immediate annuity policies (which includes life-contingent PRT annuities) are estimated using current assumptions that include discount rate, mortality and surrender/lapse terminations for traditional life insurance policies only, and expenses.
+Added: The expense assumption is locked-in at contract issuance and not subsequently reviewed or updated.
+Added: The initial assumptions are based on generally accepted actuarial methods and a combination of internal and industry experience.
+Added: Policies are terminated through surrenders, lapses and maturities, where surrenders represent the voluntary terminations of policies by policyholders, lapses represent cancellations by us due to nonpayment of premiums, and maturities are determined by policy contract terms.
+Added: For traditional life policies and life-contingent immediate annuity policies, contracts are grouped into cohorts by product type, legal entity, and issue year, or acquisition year for cohorts established as of the F&G acquisition date, June 1, 2020.
+Added: Life-contingent PRT annuities are grouped into cohorts by deal and legal entity.
+Added: At contract inception, a net premium ratio ("NPR") is determined, which is calculated based on discounted future cash flows projected using best estimate assumptions and is capped at 100 %, as net premiums cannot exceed gross premiums.
+Added: Cohorts with NPRs less than 100% are not used to offset cohorts with NPRs greater than 100 %.
+Added: The NPR is adjusted for changes in cash flow assumptions and for differences between actual and expected experience.
+Added: We assess the appropriateness of all future cash flow assumptions, excluding the expense assumption, on a quarterly basis and perform an in-depth review of future cash flow assumptions in the third quarter of each year.
+Added: Updates are made when evidence suggests a revision is necessary.
+Added: Updates for actual experience, which includes actual cash flows and insurance in-force, are performed on a quarterly basis.
+Added: These updated cash flows are used to calculate a revised NPR, which is used to derive an updated liability as of the beginning of the current reporting period, discounted at the original contract issuance date.
+Added: The updated liability is compared with the carrying amount of the liability as of that same date before the revised NPR.
+Added: The difference between these amounts is the remeasurement gain or loss, presented parenthetically within Benefits and other changes in policy reserves in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Earnings.
+Added: In subsequent periods, the revised NPR, which is capped at 100 %, is used to measure the FPB, subject to future revisions.
+Added: If the NPR is greater than 100%, and therefore capped at 100 %, the liability is increased and expensed immediately to reflect the amount necessary for net premiums to equal gross premiums.
+Added: As the liability assumptions are reviewed and updated, if deemed necessary, at least annually, if conditions improve whereby the contracts are no longer expected to have net premiums in excess of gross premiums, the improvements would be captured in the remeasurement process and reflected in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Earnings in the period of improvement.
+Added: For traditional life policies and life-contingent immediate annuity policies (which includes life-contingent PRT annuities), the discount rate assumption is an equivalent single rate that is derived based on A-credit-rated fixed-income instruments with similar duration to the liability.
+Added: We selected fixed-income instruments that have been A-rated by Bloomberg.
+Added: In order to reflect the duration characteristics of the liability, we will use an implied forward yield curve and linear interpolation will be used for durations that have limited or no market observable points on the curve.
+Added: The discount rate assumption is updated quarterly and used to remeasure the liability at the reporting date, with the resulting change reflected in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Earnings.
+Added: Deferred Profit Liability
+Added: For life-contingent immediate annuity policies, gross premiums received in excess of net premiums are deferred at initial recognition as a DPL.
+Added: Gross premiums are measured using assumptions consistent with those used in the measurement of the related liability for FPBs, including discount rate, mortality, and expenses.
+Added: The DPL is amortized and recognized as premium revenue with the amount of expected future benefit payments, discounted using the same discount rate determined and locked-in at contract issuance that is used in the measurement of the related FPB.
+Added: Interest is accreted on the balance of the DPL using this same discount rate.
+Added: We periodically review and update our estimates using the actual historical experience and updated cash flows for the DPL at the same time as the estimates of cash flows for the FPB.
+Added: When cash flows are updated, the updated estimates are used to recalculate the initial DPL at contract issuance.
+Added: The recalculated DPL as of the beginning of the current reporting period is compared to the carrying amount of the DPL as of the beginning of the current reporting period, with any differences recognized as a remeasurement gain or loss, presented parenthetically within Benefits and other changes in policy reserves in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Earnings.
+Added: The DPL is recorded as a component of the Future policy benefits in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.
+Added: Market Risk Benefits
+Added: MRBs are contracts or contract features that both provide protection to the contract holder from other-than-nominal capital market risk (equity, interest rate and foreign exchange risk) and expose the Company to other-than-nominal capital market risk.
+Added: MRBs include certain contract features primarily on FIA products that provide minimum guarantees to policyholders, such as guaranteed minimum death benefit ("GMDB"), guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefit ("GMWB") riders and guaranteed minimum accumulation benefit ("GMAB") riders.
+Added: MRBs are measured at fair value using an attributed fee measurement approach where attributed fees are explicit rider charges collectible from the policyholder used to cover the excess benefits, which represent expected benefits in excess of the policyholder’s account value.
+Added: At contract inception, an attributed fee ratio is calculated equal to rider charges over benefits paid in excess of the account value attributable to the MRBs.
+Added: The attributed fee ratio remains static over the life of the MRB and is capped at 100 %.
+Added: Each period subsequent to contract inception, the attributed fee ratio is used to calculate the fair value of the MRBs using a risk neutral valuation method and is based on current net amounts at risk, market data, internal and industry experience, and other factors.
+Added: The balances are computed using assumptions including mortality, full and partial surrender, GMWB utilization, risk-free rates including non-performance spread and risk margin, market value of options and economic scenarios.
+Added: Policyholder behavior assumptions are reviewed at least annually, typically in the third quarter, for any revisions.
+Added: MRBs can either be in an asset or liability position and are presented separately on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as the right of setoff criteria are not met.
+Added: Changes in fair value are recognized in Market risk benefits gain (losses) in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Earnings, except for the change in fair value due to a change in the instrument-specific credit risk,
+Added: which is recognized in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Earnings.
+Added: See a description of the fair value methodology used in Note D Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Note X Market Risk Benefits .

+Added: For the FPB, the net transition adjustment is primarily related to the difference in the discount rate used pre-transition and the discount rate at January 1, 2021, partially offset by the removal of provisions for adverse deviation from the cash flow assumptions used in the FPB calculation.
+Added: At transition, we did not identify any instances, at the cohort level, where net premiums exceeded gross premiums.
+Added: Before the adoption of ASU 2018-12, VOBA was amortized consistent with DAC, which was amortized over the lives of the policies in relation to the expected emergence of estimated gross profits (“EGPs”).
+Added: Based on our historical practice of using consistent amortization methods for VOBA and DAC, we elected to change the amortization method for VOBA associated with fixed rate annuities, FIAs, and IUL/Universal Life (“UL”) products to maintain consistency with the amortization method for DAC.
+Added: At transition, VOBA associated with these product types is amortized on a constant level basis for the grouped contracts over the expected term of the related contracts to approximate straight-line amortization.
+Added: Additionally, at transition, shadow adjustments previously recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Earnings, consistent with the historic amortization of DAC, have been removed.
+Added: For DAC, DSI and URL, we removed shadow adjustments previously recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Earnings for the impact of unrealized gains and losses that were included in the pre-transition expected gross profits amortization calculation as of the transition date.

+Added: The net MRB liability increased for the year ended December 31, 2023, primarily as a result of attributed fees collected, increases as a result of actual policyholder behavior different than expected and changes in assumptions and other as discussed below.
+Added: These increases were partially offset by the effects of market related movements, including the impacts of higher risk-free rates and increases in the equity market related projections.
+Added: For the year ended December 31, 2023, notable changes made to the inputs to the fair value estimates of MRBs calculations included a significant increase in risk-free rates leading to a favorable change in the MRBs associated with FIA and fixed rate annuities;
+Added: increases in the equity market related projections resulted in a decrease in the net amount at risk associated with FIAs, lead to a favorable change in the value of the associated MRBs;
+Added: and F&G’s credit spread decreased, leading to a corresponding unfavorable change in the MRBs associated with both FIA and fixed rate annuities.
+Added: In addition, the cash flow assumptions used to calculate MRBs reflect the company’s best estimates for policyholder behavior.
+Added: We review cash flow assumptions annually, generally in the third quarter.
+Added: In 2023, F&G undertook a review of all significant assumptions and revised several assumptions relating to our deferred annuities (FIA and fixed rate annuities) with MRBs including surrender rates, partial withdrawal rates, mortality improvement, and option budgets.
+Added: All updates to these assumptions brought us more in line with our Company and overall industry experience since the prior assumption update.
+Added: These updates, in total, led to an unfavorable change in the MRB balance during the third quarter of 2023.
+Added: Additionally, in the fourth quarter of 2023, an update to the industry future mortality improvement table led to a corresponding update in our future mortality improvement assumption, which led to an unfavorable change in the MRB balance during the fourth quarter of 2023.
+Added: The net MRB liability decreased for the year ended December 31, 2022, primarily as a result of the effects of market related movements, including the impact of higher risk-free rates, and changes in assumptions and other as discussed below, partially offset by attributed fees collected and increases as a result of actual policyholder behavior different than expected.
+Added: For the year ended December 31, 2022, notable changes made to the inputs to the fair value estimates of MRBs calculations included a significant increase to risk-free rates leading to a favorable change in the MRBs associated with both FIA and fixed rate annuities;
+Added: decreases in the equity markets resulting in an increase in the net amount at risk associated with FIAs, leading to an unfavorable change in the value of the associated MRBs;
+Added: and volatility indices increased, leading to an unfavorable change in the MRBs associated with FIAs.
+Added: Cash flow assumptions for mortality and full and partial surrenders were unchanged during the annual third quarter review in 2022.
+Added: The GMWB utilization assumption was revised in the second quarter of 2022 to reflect additional internal and industry experience for the first several contract years.
+Added: This assumption update led to a decrease in the net MRB liability.
+Added: In addition, F&G’s credit spread increased during 2022, leading to a corresponding decrease in the net MRB liability.
+Added: Credit spreads on the block of business remain lower than the at-issue or at-purchase credit spreads, but the level has decreased since the beginning of 2022.
+Added: The net MRB liability decreased for the year ended December 31, 2021, primarily as a result of the effects of market related movements, including the impact of higher risk-free rates, and decreases as a result of actual policyholder behavior different than expected, partially offset by attributed fees collected.
+Added: For the year ended December 31, 2021, notable changes made to the inputs to the fair value estimates of MRBs calculations included a moderate increase to risk-free rates leading to a favorable change in the MRBs associated with both FIA and fixed rate annuities and increases in the equity markets resulting in a decrease in the net amount at risk associated with FIAs, leading to a favorable change in the value of the associated MRBs.

+Added: F&G realized actual-to-expected experience variances and made changes to assumptions during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 as follows:
+Added: Traditional life
+Added: Significant assumption inputs to the calculation of the FPB for traditional life include mortality, lapses (including lapses due to nonpayment of premium and surrenders for cash surrender value), and discount rates (both accretion and current).
+Added: We review the cash flow assumptions annually, typically in the third quarter.
+Added: In 2023, F&G undertook a review of all significant assumptions and revised the lapse assumption, resulting in a slight decrease to the FPB.
+Added: There have been no other significant changes.
+Added: Market data that underlies current discount rates was updated in 2023 from that utilized in 2022 resulting in decreased discount rates that drove a material increase to the FPB.
+Added: In 2022, F&G similarly undertook a review in the third quarter of the significant cash flow assumptions and did not make any changes to mortality or lapses.
+Added: Market data that underlies current discount rates was updated from 2021 and increased significantly year-over-year, resulting in a material decrease to the FPB.
+Added: Impacts to expected net premiums and expected FPBs due to discount rate changes in 2022 can be observed in the FPB roll forward tables at December 31, 2022.
+Added: Immediate annuities (life contingent)
+Added: Significant assumption inputs to the calculation of the FPB for immediate annuities (life contingent) include mortality and discount rates (both accretion and current).
+Added: We review the cash flow assumptions annually, typically in the third quarter.
+Added: In 2023, F&G undertook a review of the significant cash flow assumptions and did not make any changes to mortality.
+Added: Market data that underlies current discount rates was updated in 2023 from that utilized in 2022, resulting in decreased discount rates that drove a material increase to the FPB.
+Added: In 2022, F&G similarly undertook a review of the significant cash flow assumptions and did not make any changes to those assumptions.
+Added: Market data that underlies current discount rates was updated from 2021 and increased significantly year-over-year, resulting in a material decrease to the FPB.
+Added: Impacts to expected FPBs due to assumption changes in 2022 can be observed in the FPB roll forward tables at December 31, 2022.
+Added: PRT (life contingent)
+Added: Significant assumption inputs to the calculation of the FPB for PRT (life contingent) include mortality and discount rates (both accretion and current).
+Added: We review the cash flow assumptions annually, typically in the third quarter.
+Added: In 2023, F&G undertook a review of the significant cash flow assumptions and did not make any changes to mortality.
+Added: Market data that underlies current discount rates was updated in 2023 from that utilized in 2022 resulting in decreased discount rates that drove a material increase to the FPB.
+Added: In 2022, F&G similarly undertook a review of the significant cash flow assumption and did not make any changes to mortality.
+Added: Market data that underlies current discount rates was updated from 2021 and increased significantly year-over-year, resulting in a material decrease to the FPB.
+Added: Impacts to expected FPBs due to assumption changes in 2022 can be observed in the FPB roll forward tables at December 31, 2022.
+Added: Premium deficiency testing
+Added: F&G conducts annual premium deficiency testing for its long-duration contracts except for the FPB for nonparticipating traditional and limited-payment contracts.
+Added: F&G also conducts annual premium deficiency testing for the VOBA of all long-duration contracts.
+Added: Premium deficiency testing is performed by reviewing assumptions used to calculate the insurance liabilities and determining whether the sum of the existing contract liabilities and the present value of future gross premiums is sufficient to cover the present value of future benefits to be paid to or on behalf of policyholders and settlement costs and recover unamortized present value of future profits.
+Added: Anticipated investment income, based on F&G’s experience, is considered when performing premium deficiency testing for long-duration contracts.
+Added: During 2023 and 2022, F&G was not required to establish any additional liabilities as a result of premium deficiency testing.
