Separation of Life and Retirement Business and Relationship with Blackstone Inc.
AIG owns i65.6 percent of the outstanding common stock of Corebridge
as of September 30, 2023. Corebridge is the holding company for AIG’s Life and Retirement business. AIG continues to consolidate Corebridge in AIG’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The portion of equity interest of Corebridge that AIG does not own is reflected as noncontrolling interest in AIG’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
On June 26, 2023, Corebridge repurchased i12.2 million shares of Corebridge common stock for an
aggregate purchase price of $i200 million, of which i11.0 million shares were from AIG for an aggregate purchase price of $i180 million.
As a result, AIG recorded a decrease of $i15 million in Total AIG shareholders' equity.
On June 12, 2023, AIG closed a secondary offering of i74.75 million
shares of Corebridge common stock at a public offering price of $i16.25 per share, which included i65 million shares initially offered and the full exercise by the underwriters of their option to purchase an additional i9.75 million
shares. The aggregate gross proceeds of the offering to AIG, before deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other expenses payable by AIG, were approximately $i1.2 billion. After consideration of underwriting discounts, commissions and other related expenses payable by AIG, AIG recorded a decrease of $i71 million
in Total AIG shareholders' equity.
On September 19, 2022, AIG closed on the initial public offering (IPO) of i80 million shares of Corebridge common stock at a public offering price of $i21.00
per share, representing i12.4 percent of Corebridge's common stock. The aggregate gross proceeds of the offering to AIG, before deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other expenses payable by AIG, were approximately $i1.7 billion.
After consideration of underwriting discounts, commissions and other related expenses payable by AIG, AIG recorded an increase of $i497 million in Total AIG shareholders' equity, recalculated on an LDTI basis.
Blackstone Inc. (Blackstone) completed the acquisition of a i9.9
percent equity stake in Corebridge in November 2021. Blackstone is required to hold its ownership interest in Corebridge, subject to exceptions permitting Blackstone to sell i25 percent, i67
percent and i75 percent of its ownership interest after the first, second and third anniversaries, respectively, of the closing of the Corebridge IPO (September 19, 2023, 2024 and 2025, respectively), with the transfer restrictions terminating in full on September 19, 2027.
Other Events
On
December 14, 2022, AIG announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, AIG Financial Products Corp. (AIGFP), filed a voluntary petition to reorganize under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware and filed a proposed plan of reorganization. The reorganization will not have a material impact on the consolidated balance sheets of AIG or our respective businesses. AIGFP has no material operations or businesses and no employees. In conjunction with the bankruptcy filing, AIGFP and its consolidated subsidiaries were deconsolidated from the results of AIG, resulting in a pre-tax loss of $i114 million
for the twelve months ended December 31, 2022, reported in Net gain (loss) on divestitures and other. In addition, AIGFP and its subsidiaries were determined to be an unconsolidated variable interest entity.
i
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires the application of accounting policies that often involve a significant degree of judgment.
Accounting policies that we believe are most dependent on the application of estimates and assumptions are considered our critical accounting estimates and are related to the determination of:
•loss reserves;
•valuation of future policy benefit liabilities and recognition of measurement gains and losses;
•valuation of market risk benefits (MRBs) related to guaranteed benefit features of variable annuity, fixed annuity and fixed index annuity products;
•valuation of embedded derivative liabilities for fixed index annuity and index universal life products;
•reinsurance assets, including the allowance for credit losses and disputes;
•goodwill
impairment;
•allowance for credit losses on certain investments, primarily on loans and available for sale fixed maturity securities;
•fair value measurements of certain financial assets and financial liabilities; and
•income taxes, in particular the recoverability of our deferred tax asset and establishment of provisions for uncertain tax positions.
These accounting estimates require the use of assumptions about matters, some of which are highly uncertain at the time of estimation. To the extent actual experience differs from the assumptions used, our consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash flows could be materially affected.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
There were no material changes to our significant accounting policies with the exception of the policies listed below which were impacted by the adoption of LDTI. For additional information on our significant accounting policies not impacted by the adoption of LDTI, see Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2022 Annual Report.
The following list identifies our significant accounting policies presented in other Notes to these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, with a reference to the Note where a detailed description can be found:
Note 6. Investments
•Net
realized gains (losses)
Note 7. Lending Activities
Note 8. Reinsurance
•Reinsurance assets – net of allowance
Note 9. Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs
•Deferred policy acquisition costs
•Deferred sales inducements
•Amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs
Insurance revenues include premiums and policy fees. All premiums and policy fees are presented net of reinsurance, as applicable. Premiums from long-duration life products, other than universal and
variable life contracts, are recognized as revenues when due. Premiums from individual and group annuity contracts that are life contingent are recognized as revenues when due.
For limited payment contracts, premiums are due over a significantly shorter period than the period over which benefits are provided. Prior to the adoption of LDTI, effective on January 1, 2021, the difference between the gross premium received and the net premium was deferred and recognized in premiums in a constant relationship to insurance in-force, or for annuities, the amount of expected future policy benefits. This Deferred Profit Liability
(DPL) was recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets in Other policyholder funds. After January 1, 2021, the difference between the gross premium received and recorded as revenue and the net premium is deferred and recognized in Policyholder benefits in a constant relationship to insurance in-force, or for annuities, the amount of expected future policy benefits. This DPL is recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets in Future policy benefits for life and accident and health insurance contracts.
Prior to the adoption of LDTI, effective on January 1, 2021, reinsurance premiums ceded under yearly renewable term (YRT) reinsurance agreements were recognized as a reduction in revenues over the period the reinsurance coverage
was utilized in proportion to the risks to which the premiums relate, while premiums ceded under modified coinsurance (modco) treaties were recognized when due. Following the adoption of LDTI, after January 1, 2021 all reinsurance premiums ceded are recognized when due, following a ceded net premium ratio (NPR) methodology that also accrues a proportionate amount of estimated benefits.
Reinsurance premiums for assumed business are estimated based on information received from ceding companies and reinsurers. Any subsequent differences that arise regarding such estimates are recorded in the periods in which they are determined.
Amounts received as payment for investment-oriented contracts such as universal life, variable annuities, fixed annuities,
and fixed index annuities, are reported as deposits to Policyholder contract deposits or Separate account liabilities, as applicable. Revenues from these contracts are recorded in policy fees and consist of policy charges for the cost of insurance, policy administration charges, surrender charges and amortization of unearned revenue reserves (URR). Policy fees are recognized as revenues in the period in which they are assessed against policyholders, unless the fees are designed to compensate AIG for services to be provided in the future. Prior to the adoption of LDTI, effective on January 1, 2021, fees deferred as unearned revenue were amortized in relation to the incidence of estimated gross profits (EGPs) to be realized over the estimated lives
of the contracts. After January 1, 2021 fees deferred as unearned revenue are amortized on a constant level basis over the estimated lives of the contracts, consistent with the

amortization of deferred acquisition costs. This URR is recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets in Other policyholder funds.

ACCOUNTING
STANDARDS ADOPTED DURING 2023
Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Long-Duration Contracts
In August 2018, the FASB issued an accounting standard update with the objective of making targeted improvements to the existing recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure requirements for long-duration contracts issued by an insurance entity.
The Company adopted the standard on January 1, 2023 using the modified retrospective transition method relating to liabilities for traditional and limited payment contracts
and deferred policy acquisition costs. The Company also adopted the standard in relation to MRBs on a full retrospective basis. As of the Transition Date, the impact of the adoption of the standard was a net decrease to beginning Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (AOCI) of $i2.2 billion and a net increase to beginning Retained earnings of $i933 million
primarily driven by (1) changes related to MRBs in our Individual Retirement and Group Retirement operating segments, including the impact of non-performance risk adjustments which reclassified the portion of the changes in fair value attributable to non-performance risk from Retained earnings to AOCI, (2) changes to the discount rate used to measure the liability for future policy benefits which most significantly impacted our Life Insurance and Institutional Markets operating segments, and (3) the removal of balances recorded in AOCI related to changes in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of December 31, 2022 and for three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 have been adjusted to reflect the effects of applying the standard.
The accounting for the
Fortitude Reinsurance Company Ltd. (Fortitude Re) reinsurance assets, including the discount rates, continued to be calculated using the same methodology and assumptions as the direct policies, and therefore have been recalculated on an LDTI basis. The accounting for reinsurance transactions between AIG and Fortitude Re structured as modco remained unchanged.
Market risk benefits: The standard requires the measurement of all MRBs (e.g., living benefit and death benefit guarantees associated with variable annuities) associated with deposit (or account balance) contracts at fair value at each reporting period. Changes in fair value compared to prior periods are recorded and presented separately within the income statement, with the exception of our own credit risk changes (non-performance adjustments), which are recognized
in Other comprehensive income (loss) (OCI). MRBs impacted both Retained earnings and AOCI upon transition.
The accounting for MRBs primarily impacted our Individual Retirement and Group Retirement operating segments. For additional disclosures about MRBs, see Note 13.
Discount rate assumption: The standard requires the discount rate assumption for the liability for future policy benefits to be updated at the end of each reporting period using an upper-medium grade (low credit risk) fixed income instrument yield that maximizes the use of observable market inputs. Upon transition, the Company had an adjustment to AOCI due to the fact that the market upper-medium grade (low credit risk) interest rates as of the Transition Date differed from reserve interest
accretion rates.
Following adoption of the standard, the impact of changes to discount rates are recognized through OCI. Changes resulting from updating the discount rate each reporting period primarily impact term life insurance and other traditional life insurance products, as well as pension risk transfer (PRT) and structured settlement products. For additional information on the discount rate assumption under accounting for Long-Duration Contracts Standard, see Note 12.
Removal of balances related to changes in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments: Under the standard, the majority of balances recorded in AOCI related to changes in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments were eliminated.
In
addition to the above, the standard also:
•Requires the review and, if necessary, update of future policy benefit assumptions at least annually for traditional and limited pay long duration contracts, with the recognition and parenthetical presentation of any resulting re-measurement gain or loss in Policyholder benefits and losses incurred (except for discount rate changes as noted above) in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss). For additional information, see Note 12.
•Simplifies the amortization of DAC to a constant level basis over the expected term of the related contracts and no longer requires an impairment test.
For additional information, see Note 9.
•Increases disclosures of disaggregated rollforwards of several balances, including but not limited to liabilities for future policy benefits, deferred acquisition costs, account balances, MRBs, separate account liabilities and information about significant inputs, judgments and methods used in measurement and changes thereto and impact of those changes.

The following table presents the impacts in connection with the adoption of LDTI on our previously reported Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows:
Troubled
Debt Restructuring and Vintage Disclosures
In March 2022, the FASB issued an accounting standard update that eliminates the accounting guidance for troubled debt restructurings for creditors and amends the guidance on “vintage disclosures” to require disclosure of current-period gross write-offs by year of origination. The standard also updates the requirements for accounting for credit losses by adding enhanced disclosures for creditors related to loan refinancings and restructurings for borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. The Company adopted the standard prospectively as of January 1, 2023 and the standard did not have a material impact on our reported consolidated financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. For the updated required disclosures,
see Note 7.
FUTURE APPLICATION OF ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
Fair Value Measurement
On June 30, 2022, the FASB issued an accounting standards update to address diversity in practice by clarifying that a contractual sale restriction should not be considered in the measurement of the fair value of an equity security. It also requires entities with investments in equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions to disclose certain qualitative and quantitative information about such securities. The guidance is effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within those
years, with early adoption permitted. For entities other than investment companies, the accounting standards update applies prospectively, with any adjustments resulting from adoption recognized in earnings on the date of adoption. We are assessing the impact of this standard.

SEGMENT RESULTS
We evaluate segment performance based on adjusted revenues and
adjusted pre-tax income (loss). Adjusted revenues and adjusted pre-tax income (loss) are derived by excluding certain items from total revenues and pre-tax income (loss), respectively. These items generally fall into one or more of the following broad categories: legacy matters having no relevance to our current businesses or operating performance; adjustments to enhance transparency to the underlying economics of transactions; and measures that we believe to be common to the industry. Legal entities are attributed to each segment based upon the predominance of activity in that legal entity. For the items excluded from adjusted revenues and adjusted pre-tax income (loss), see the table below.

We report and classify a business as held-for-sale (Held-For-Sale Business) when management has approved the sale or received approval to sell the business and
is committed to a formal plan, the business is available for immediate sale, the business is being actively marketed, the sale is anticipated to occur during the next 12 months and certain other specified criteria are met. A Held-For-Sale Business is recorded at the lower of its carrying amount or estimated fair value less cost to sell. If the carrying amount of the business exceeds its estimated fair value, a loss is recognized.
Assets and liabilities related to a Held-For-Sale Business are reported in Assets held for sale and Liabilities held for sale, respectively, in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets beginning in the period in which the business is classified as held-for-sale. At September 30, 2023, the following business was reported and classified as held-for-sale:
Validus Re
To
further simplify AIG's business model and reduce volatility in our portfolio, on May 22, 2023, AIG announced that it entered into a definitive agreement to sell Validus Re, including AlphaCat Managers Ltd. and the Talbot Treaty reinsurance business to RenaissanceRe for $i2.7 billion in cash and approximately i1.3 million
common shares of RenaissanceRe. Additionally, AIG agreed to retain 95 percent of the difference between (i) the reserves with respect to the business as of the closing date of the sale for losses occurring prior to the closing date and (ii) the associated reserve development following the closing date with respect to such losses. Any reserve development will be settled annually, commencing with the calendar year ending December 31, 2024. This arrangement stays in effect until the parties determine to terminate such arrangement (which they will re-evaluate on an annual basis beginning 5 years after the closing date) or until all such liabilities of the acquired reinsurance business have run off. This reserve cover is considered contingent consideration and will be recognized at fair value when the sale of Validus Re closes.
On September
4, 2023, AIG entered into an Adverse Development Cover Excess of Loss Agreement (the ADC Agreement) to hedge the risk of adverse development pertaining to Validus Re’s reserves with Clarendon National Insurance Company (Clarendon), a wholly owned subsidiary of Enstar Group Limited. Under the ADC Agreement, AIG will be reimbursed up to $i400 million of adverse development for all policies in force as of December 31, 2022 when paid losses exceed the baseline reserve balance of $i3.043 billion.
The expected premium to be paid to Clarendon is $i80 million.
On November 1, 2023, AIG completed the sale of Validus Re to RenaissanceRe and received $i2.7 billion
in cash from RenaissanceRe and i1.3 million shares of RenaissanceRe common stock valued at approximately $i275 million
as of the closing date. The results of Validus Re are reported in General Insurance.
AIG Life Limited
To further simplify Corebridge’s business model, on September 25, 2023, Corebridge announced that it entered into a definitive agreement to sell AIG Life to Aviva plc for £i460 million in cash, subject to certain adjustments. The sale of AIG Life is expected to close in the first half of 2024, subject
to regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions. The results of AIG Life are reported in Life and Retirement.
Laya and Other
To further simplify Corebridge’s business model, on August 3, 2023, Corebridge announced that it entered into a definitive agreement to sell its subsidiary, Laya, to AXA for €i650 million in cash, subject to certain adjustments. On October
31, 2023, Corebridge completed the sale of Laya to AXA. The results of Laya are reported in Life and Retirement.
Other primarily consists of owner occupied real estate.

Fair Value Measurements
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS ON A RECURRING BASIS
Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets are measured and classified in accordance with a fair value hierarchy consisting of three “levels” based on the observability of valuation inputs:
•Level 1: Fair value measurements based on quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that we have the ability to access for identical assets or liabilities. Market price data generally is obtained from exchange or dealer markets. We do not adjust the quoted price for such instruments.
•Level 2: Fair value measurements based on inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are
observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.
•Level 3: Fair value measurements based on valuation techniques that use significant inputs that are unobservable. Both observable and unobservable inputs may be used to determine the fair values of positions classified in Level 3. The circumstances for using these measurements include those in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability. Therefore, we must make certain assumptions about the inputs a hypothetical market participant
would use to value that asset or liability.
In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.
The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments carried at fair value. These methodologies are applied to assets and liabilities across the levels discussed above, and the observability of the inputs used determines the appropriate level in the fair value hierarchy for the respective asset or liability.
ITEM 1 | Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) | 5. Fair Value Measurements
VALUATION METHODOLOGIES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS MEASURED AT FAIR VALUE
There were no material changes to valuation methodologies of financial instruments measured at fair value with the exception of the valuation methodologies listed below which were impacted by the adoption of LDTI. For
additional information on valuation methodologies not impacted by the adoption LDTI, see Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2022 Annual Report.
Market Risk Benefits and Embedded Derivatives within Policyholder Contract Deposits
Certain variable annuity, fixed annuity and fixed index annuity contracts contain MRBs related to guaranteed benefit features that we separate from the host contracts and account for at fair value, with certain changes recognized in earnings. MRBs are contracts or contract
features that provide protection to policyholders from other-than-nominal capital market risks and expose the insurance entity to other-than-nominal capital market risks.
The fair value of MRBs contained in certain variable annuity, fixed annuity and fixed index annuity contracts is measured based on policyholder behavior and capital market assumptions related to projected cash flows over the expected lives of the contracts. These discounted cash flow projections primarily include benefits and related fees assessed, when applicable. In some instances, the projected cash flows from fees may exceed projected cash flows related to benefit payments and therefore, at a point in time, the carrying value of the MRBs may be in a net asset position. The projected
cash flows incorporate best estimate assumptions for policyholder behavior (including mortality, lapses, withdrawals and benefit utilization), along with an explicit risk margin to reflect a market participant’s estimates of projected cash flows and policyholder behavior. Estimates of future policyholder behavior assumptions are subjective and are based primarily on our historical experience.
Because of the dynamic and complex nature of the projected cash flows with respect to MRBs in our variable annuity, fixed annuity, and fixed index annuity contracts, risk neutral valuations are used, which are calibrated to observable interest rate and equity option prices. Estimating the underlying cash flows for these products involves judgments regarding the capital market assumptions related to expected market rates of return, market volatility,
credit spreads, correlations of certain market variables, fund performance and discount rates. Additionally, estimating the underlying cash flows for these products also involves judgments regarding policyholder behavior. The portion of fees attributable to the fair value of expected benefit payments is included within the fair value measurement of these MRBs, and related fees are classified in change in the fair value of MRBs, net, as earned, consistent with other changes in the fair value of these MRBs. Any portion of the fees not attributed to the MRBs is excluded from the fair value measurement and classified in policy fees as earned.
Option pricing models are used to estimate the fair value of embedded derivatives in our fixed index annuity and life contracts, taking into account the capital market assumptions for future index growth
rates, volatility of the index, future interest rates, and our ability to adjust the participation rate and the cap on fixed index credited rates in light of market conditions and policyholder behavior assumptions.
Projected cash flows are discounted using the interest rate swap curve (swap curve), which is viewed as being consistent with the credit spreads for highly-rated financial institutions (S&P AA-rated or above). A swap curve shows the fixed-rate leg of a non-complex swap against the floating rate (for example, Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) or London Inter-Bank Offered Rate) leg of a related tenor. We also incorporate our own risk of non-performance in the valuation of MRBs and embedded derivatives associated with variable annuity, fixed annuity, fixed index annuity and life contracts. The non-performance risk adjustment
(NPA) reflects a market participant’s view of our claims-paying ability by incorporating an additional spread to the swap curve used to discount projected benefit cash flows. The NPA is calculated by constructing forward rates based on a weighted average of observable corporate credit indices to approximate the claims-paying ability rating of our insurance companies. The corporate credit indices are observable for the first 30 years. For years 30 to 50, the yield is derived using market observable yields. Yields for years 50 to 100 are extrapolated using a flat forward approach, maintaining a constant forward spread through the period. MRBs are measured using a NPA that is a locked-in estimate of our claims-paying ability at policy issue (locked-in NPA) as well as a NPA that reflects an estimate of our current claims-paying ability (current NPA).
When MRBs are remeasured each period, both the interest rates and current NPA
are updated. Changes in the swap curve and the time value accretion of the at-issue NPA are recorded to net income while the difference between the MRBs measured using the at-issue NPA and the current NPA is recorded to OCI. For embedded derivatives, changes in the interest rates and the period-over-period change in the NPA are recorded to net income.

Transfers of Level 3 Assets
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, transfers
into Level 3 assets primarily included certain investments in private placement corporate debt, residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS), commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) and collateralized loan obligations (CLO)/asset-backed securities (ABS). Transfers of private placement corporate debt and certain ABS into Level 3 assets were primarily the result of limited market pricing information that required us to determine fair value for these securities based on inputs that are adjusted to better reflect our own assumptions regarding the characteristics of a specific security or associated market liquidity. The transfers of investments in RMBS, CMBS and CLO and certain ABS into Level 3 assets were due to diminished market transparency and liquidity for individual security types.

(a)Information received from third-party valuation service providers. The ranges of the unobservable inputs for constant prepayment rate, loss severity and constant default rate relate to each of the individual underlying mortgage loans that comprise the entire portfolio of securities in the RMBS and CLO securitization vehicles and not necessarily to the securitization vehicle bonds (tranches) purchased by us. The ranges of these inputs do not directly correlate to changes in the fair values of the tranches purchased
by us, because there are other factors relevant to the fair values of specific tranches owned by us including, but not limited to, purchase price, position in the waterfall, senior versus subordinated position and attachment points.
(b)Represents discount rates, estimates and assumptions that we believe would be used by market participants when valuing these assets and liabilities.
(c)The weighted averaging for fixed maturity securities is based on the estimated fair value of the securities. Because the valuation methodology for embedded derivatives with policyholder contract deposits and market risk benefits uses a range of inputs that vary at the contract
level over the cash flow projection period, management believes that presenting a range, rather than weighted average, is a more meaningful representation of the unobservable inputs used in the valuation.
(d)The Fortitude Re funds withheld payable has been excluded from the above table. As discussed in Note 8, the Fortitude Re funds withheld payable is created through modco and funds withheld reinsurance arrangements where the investments supporting the reinsurance agreements are withheld by, and continue to reside on AIG’s balance sheet. This embedded derivative is valued as a total return swap with reference to the fair value of the invested assets held by AIG. Accordingly, the unobservable inputs utilized in the valuation of the embedded derivative are a component of the invested assets supporting the reinsurance agreements that are held on AIG’s balance sheet.
(e)The
ranges for these inputs vary due to the different guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefits (GMWB) product specification and policyholder characteristics across in-force policies. Policyholder characteristics that affect these ranges include age, policy duration, and gender.
(f)Mortality inputs are shown as multipliers of the 2012 Individual Annuity Mortality Basic table.
(g)The NPA applied as a spread over risk-free curve for discounting.
(h)The partial withdrawal utilization unobservable input range shown applies only to policies with guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefit riders. The total embedded derivative liability at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was
approximately $i1.2 billion and $i1.1 billion, respectively.
(i)The
fixed index annuities embedded derivative associated with index credits related to the contracts with guaranteed product features included in policyholder contract deposits was $i1.2 billion and $i1.1 billion
at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

The ranges of reported inputs for Obligations of states, municipalities and political subdivisions, Corporate debt, RMBS, CLO/ABS, and CMBS valued using a discounted cash flow technique consist of one standard deviation in either direction from the value‑weighted average. The preceding table does not give effect to our risk management practices that might offset risks inherent in these Level 3 assets and liabilities.
Interrelationships Between Unobservable Inputs
We consider unobservable inputs to be those for which market data is not available and that are developed using the best information available to us about the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability. Relevant inputs vary depending
on the nature of the instrument being measured at fair value. The following paragraphs provide a general description of significant unobservable inputs along with interrelationships between and among the significant unobservable inputs and their impact on the fair value measurements. In practice, simultaneous changes in assumptions may not always have a linear effect on the inputs discussed below. Interrelationships may also exist between observable and unobservable inputs. Such relationships have not been included in the discussion below. For each of the individual relationships described below, the inverse relationship would also generally apply.
Fixed Maturity Securities
The significant unobservable input used in the fair value measurement of fixed maturity securities is yield. The yield is affected by the market movements in credit spreads and U.S. Treasury yields. The yield
may be affected by other factors including constant prepayment rates, loss severity, and constant default rates. In general, increases in the yield would decrease the fair value of investments, and conversely, decreases in the yield would increase the fair value of investments.
MRBs and Embedded Derivatives within Policyholder Contract Deposits
For MRBs and embedded derivatives, the assumptions for unobservable inputs vary throughout the period over which cash flows are projected for valuation purposes. The following are applicable unobservable inputs:
•Long-term equity volatilities represent equity volatility beyond the period for which observable equity volatilities are available. Increases in assumed volatility will generally
increase the fair value of both the projected cash flows from rider fees as well as the projected cash flows related to benefit payments. Therefore, the net change in the fair value of the liability may be either a decrease or an increase, depending on the relative changes in projected rider fees and projected benefit payments.
•Equity and interest rate correlation estimates the relationship between changes in equity returns and interest rates in the economic scenario generator used to value our MRBs. In general, a higher positive correlation assumes that equity markets and interest rates move in a more correlated fashion, which generally increases the fair value of the liability. Only our fixed index annuities with a GMWB rider are subject to the equity and interest correlation assumption. Other policies such as accumulation fixed index annuity and life products do not use a correlation assumption.
•Base
lapse rate assumptions are determined by company experience and judgment and are adjusted at the contract level using a dynamic lapse function, which reduces the base lapse rate when the contract is in-the-money (when the contract holder’s guaranteed value, as estimated by the company, is worth more than their underlying account value). Lapse rates are also generally assumed to be lower in periods when a surrender charge applies. Increases in assumed lapse rates will generally decrease the fair value of the liability as fewer policyholders would persist to collect guaranteed benefit amounts.
•Mortality
rate assumptions, which vary by age and gender, are based on company experience and include a mortality improvement assumption. Increases in assumed mortality rates will decrease the fair value of the GMWB liability, while lower mortality rate assumptions will generally increase the fair value of the liability because guaranteed withdrawal payments will be made for a longer period of time and generally exceed any decrease in guaranteed death benefits.
•Utilization assumptions estimate the timing when policyholders with a GMWB will elect to utilize their benefit and begin taking withdrawals. The assumptions may vary by the type of guarantee, tax-qualified status, the contract’s withdrawal history and the age of the policyholder. Utilization assumptions are based on company experience, which includes partial withdrawal
behavior. Increases in assumed utilization rates will generally increase the fair value of the liability.
•Non-performance or “own credit” risk adjustment used in the valuation of MRBs and embedded derivatives, which reflects a market participant’s view of our claims-paying ability by incorporating a different spread (the NPA spread) to the curve used to discount projected benefit cash flows. When corporate credit spreads widen, the change in the NPA spread generally reduces the fair value of the MRBs and embedded derivatives, resulting in a gain in AOCI or Net realized gains (losses), respectively, and when corporate credit spreads narrow or tighten, the change in the NPA spread generally increases the fair value of the MRBs and embedded derivatives, resulting in a loss in AOCI or Net realized gains (losses), respectively.
•The
projected cash flows incorporate best estimate assumptions for policyholder behavior (including mortality, lapses, withdrawals and benefit utilization), along with an explicit risk margin to reflect a market participant’s estimates of projected cash flows and policyholder behavior. Estimates of future policyholder behavior assumptions are subjective and based primarily on our historical experience.
ITEM
1 | Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) | 5. Fair Value Measurements
•For embedded derivatives, option budgets estimate the expected long-term cost of options used to hedge exposures associated with index price changes. The level of option budgets determines future costs of the options, which impacts the growth in account value and the valuation of embedded derivatives.
The
fair value of embedded derivatives associated with funds withheld reinsurance contracts is determined based upon a total return swap technique with reference to the fair value of the investments held by AIG related to AIG’s funds withheld payable. The fair value of the underlying assets is generally based on market observable inputs using industry standard valuation techniques. The valuation also requires certain significant inputs, which are generally not observable, and accordingly, the valuation is considered Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

equity fund investments included above are not redeemable, because distributions from the funds will be received when underlying investments of the funds are liquidated. Private equity funds are generally expected to have i10-year lives at their inception, but these lives may be extended at the fund manager’s discretion, typically in ione-year
or itwo-year increments.
The majority of our hedge fund investments are redeemable upon a single month or quarter’s notice, though redemption terms vary from single, immediate withdrawals, to withdrawals staggered up to eight quarters. Some of the portfolio consists of illiquid run-off or “side-pocket” positions whose liquidation horizons are uncertain and likely beyond a year after submission of the redemption
notice.

At
September 30, 2023, we held i32,663 individual fixed maturity securities that were in an unrealized loss position and for which no allowance for credit losses has been recorded (including i17,596
individual fixed maturity securities that were in a continuous unrealized loss position for 12 months or more). At December 31, 2022, we held i36,549 individual fixed maturity securities that were in an unrealized loss position and for which no allowance for credit losses has been recorded (including i4,048
individual fixed maturity securities that were in a continuous unrealized loss position for 12 months or more). We did not recognize the unrealized losses in earnings on these fixed maturity securities at September 30, 2023 because it was determined that such losses were due to non-credit factors. Additionally, we neither intend to sell the securities nor do we believe that it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell these securities before recovery of their amortized cost basis. For fixed maturity securities with significant declines, we performed fundamental credit analyses on a security-by-security basis, which included consideration of credit enhancements, liquidity position, expected defaults, industry and sector analysis, forecasts and available market data.

The following table presents the gross realized gains and gross realized losses from sales or maturities of our available for sale securities:
For
the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the aggregate fair value of available for sale securities sold was $i3.1 billion and $i19.7 billion, respectively, which
resulted in net realized gains (losses) of $(i163) million and $(i956) million, respectively. Included within the net realized gains (losses) are $(i6) million
and $(i125) million of net realized gains (losses) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, which relate to Fortitude Re funds withheld assets. These net realized gains (losses) are included in Net realized gains (losses) on Fortitude Re funds withheld assets.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the aggregate fair value of available for sale securities sold was $i2.0 billion
and $i16.0 billion, respectively, which resulted in net realized gains (losses) of $(i131) million and $(i874) million,
respectively. Included within the net realized gains (losses) are $(i64) million and $(i218) million of net realized gains (losses) for the three and nine months ended September
30, 2022, respectively, which relate to Fortitude Re funds withheld assets. These net realized gains (losses) are included in Net realized gains (losses) on Fortitude Re funds withheld assets.
The following table presents the fair value of fixed maturity securities measured at fair value based on our election of the fair value option, which are reported in the other bond securities caption in the financial statements, and equity securities measured at fair value:
(a)At
September 30, 2023, included hedge funds of $i0.9 billion and private equity funds of $i10.8 billion. At December 31, 2022, included hedge funds of $i1.4
billion and private equity funds of $i10.4 billion.
(b)The majority of our hedge fund investments are redeemable upon a single month or quarter’s notice, though redemption terms vary from single, immediate withdrawals, to withdrawals staggered up to eight quarters. Some of the portfolio consists of illiquid run-off or “side-pocket” positions whose liquidation horizons are uncertain and likely beyond a year after submission of the redemption notice.
(c)Represents values net of accumulated depreciation.
At September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the accumulated depreciation was $i820 million and $i786
million, respectively.

NET
REALIZED GAINS AND LOSSES
Net realized gains and losses are determined by specific identification. The net realized gains and losses are generated primarily from the following sources:
•Sales of available for sale fixed maturity securities, real estate and other alternative investments.
•Reductions to the amortized cost basis of available for sale fixed maturity securities that have been written down due to our intent to sell them or it being more likely than not that we will be required to sell them.
•Changes in the allowance for credit losses on bonds available for sale, mortgage and other loans receivable, and loans commitments.
•Most changes in the
fair value of free standing and embedded derivatives, including changes in the non-performance adjustment are included in Net realized gains (losses). However, changes in derivatives designated as hedging instruments when the fair value of the hedged item is not reported in Net realized gains (losses) are excluded from Net realized gains (losses). Additionally, in conjunction with the adoption of LDTI, changes in the fair value of free standing derivatives that hedge certain MRBs are excluded from Net realized gains (losses).
•Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions.
•Changes in fair value of the embedded derivative related to the Fortitude Re funds withheld assets.

EVALUATING
INVESTMENTS FOR AN ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES

We purchase certain RMBS securities that have experienced more-than-insignificant deterioration in credit quality since origination. These are referred
to as PCD assets. At the time of purchase an allowance is recognized for these PCD assets by adding it to the purchase price to arrive at the initial amortized cost. There is no credit loss expense recognized upon acquisition of a PCD asset. When determining the initial allowance for credit losses, management considers the historical performance of underlying assets and available market information as well as bond-specific structural considerations, such as credit enhancement and the priority of payment structure of the security. In addition, the process of estimating future cash flows includes, but is not limited to, the following critical inputs:
•Current delinquency rates;
•Expected default rates and the timing of such defaults;
•Loss severity and the timing of
any recovery; and
•Expected prepayment speeds.
Subsequent to the acquisition date, the PCD assets follow the same accounting as other structured securities that are not high credit quality.
We did not purchase securities with more than insignificant credit deterioration since their origination during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022.
PLEDGED INVESTMENTS
Secured Financing and Similar Arrangements
We enter into secured financing transactions whereby
certain securities are sold under agreements to repurchase (repurchase agreements), in which we transfer securities in exchange for cash, with an agreement by us to repurchase the same or substantially similar securities. Our secured financing transactions also include those that involve the transfer of securities to financial institutions in exchange for cash (securities lending agreements). In all of these secured financing transactions, the securities transferred by us (pledged collateral) may be sold or repledged by the counterparties. These agreements are recorded at their contracted amounts plus accrued interest, other than those that are accounted for at fair value.
Pledged collateral levels are monitored daily and are generally maintained at an agreed-upon percentage of the fair value of the amounts borrowed during the life of the transactions. In the event of a decline in the fair value of the pledged collateral under
these secured financing transactions, we may be required to transfer cash or additional securities as pledged collateral under these agreements. At the termination of the transactions, we and our counterparties are obligated to return the amounts borrowed and the securities transferred, respectively.
i
The following table presents the fair value of securities pledged to counterparties under secured financing transactions, including repurchase and securities lending agreements:
At
September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, amounts borrowed under repurchase and securities lending agreements totaled $i733 million and $i3.1 billion,
respectively.
The following table presents the fair value of securities pledged under our repurchase agreements by collateral type and by remaining contractual maturity:
We
also enter into agreements in which securities are purchased by us under reverse repurchase agreements, which are accounted for as secured financing transactions and reported as short-term investments or other assets, depending on their terms. These agreements are recorded at their contracted resale amounts plus accrued interest, other than those that are accounted for at fair value. In all reverse repurchase transactions, we take possession of or obtain a security interest in the related securities, and we have the right to sell or repledge this collateral received.
The following table presents information on the fair value of securities pledged to us under reverse repurchase agreements:
At
September 30, 2023, the carrying value of reverse repurchase agreements totaled $i1.1 billion.
All secured financing transactions are collateralized and margined on a daily basis consistent with market standards and subject to enforceable master netting arrangements with rights of set off. We do not currently offset any such transactions.
Insurance
– Statutory and Other Deposits
The total carrying value of cash and securities deposited by our insurance subsidiaries under requirements of regulatory authorities or other insurance-related arrangements, including certain annuity-related obligations and certain reinsurance contracts, was $i13.8 billion and $i13.6
billion at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
Other Pledges and Restrictions
Certain of our subsidiaries are members of Federal Home Loan Banks (FHLBs) and such membership requires the members to own stock in these FHLBs. We owned an aggregate of $i283 million and $i239 million
of stock in FHLBs at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. In addition, our subsidiaries have pledged securities available for sale and residential loans associated with borrowings and funding agreements from FHLBs, with a fair value of $i6.5 billion and $i2.9 billion,
respectively, at September 30, 2023 and $i5.8 billion and $i1.8 billion,
respectively, at December 31, 2022.
Certain GIAs have provisions that require collateral to be posted or payments to be made by us upon a downgrade of our long-term debt ratings. The actual amount of collateral required to be posted to the counterparties in the event of such downgrades, and the aggregate amount of payments that we could be required to make, depend on market conditions, the fair value of outstanding affected transactions and other factors prevailing at and after the time of the downgrade. The fair value of securities pledged as collateral with respect to these obligations was approximately $i101 million
and $i63 million, at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. This collateral primarily consists of securities of the U.S. government and government sponsored entities and generally cannot be repledged or resold by the counterparties.
Investments held in escrow accounts or otherwise subject to restriction as to their use were $i302
million and $i301 million, comprised of bonds available for sale and short-term investments at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
Reinsurance transactions between AIG and Fortitude Re were structured as modco and loss portfolio transfer arrangements with funds withheld.

at September 30, 2023 and i19 percent and i11 percent, respectively, at December 31, 2022).
(b)There
were no loans that were held for sale carried at lower of cost or market as of September 30, 2023. The net carrying value of loans carried at lower of cost or market was $i170 million as of December 31, 2022.
(c)Excludes $iiii37.6/// billion
at both September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 of loan receivable from AIGFP, which has a full allowance for credit losses, recognized upon the deconsolidation of AIGFP. For additional information, see Note 1.
(d)Does not include allowance for credit losses of $i70 million and $i69
million, respectively, at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, in relation to off-balance-sheet commitments to fund commercial mortgage loans, which is recorded in Other liabilities.
/
Interest income is not accrued when payment of contractual principal and interest is not expected. Any cash received on impaired loans is generally recorded as a reduction of the current carrying amount of the loan. Accrual of interest income is generally resumed when delinquent contractual principal and interest is repaid or when a portion of the delinquent contractual payments are made and the ongoing required contractual payments have been made for an appropriate period. As
of September 30, 2023, $i20 million and $i694 million of residential mortgage loans and commercial
mortgage loans, respectively, are placed on nonaccrual status. As of December 31, 2022, $i5 million and $i703 million
of residential mortgage loans and commercial mortgage loans, respectively, are placed on nonaccrual status.
Accrued interest is presented separately and is included in Accrued investment income on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of September 30, 2023, accrued interest receivable was $i21 million and $i177
million associated with residential mortgage loans and commercial mortgage loans, respectively. As of December 31, 2022, accrued interest receivable was $i15 million and $i147 million associated with residential mortgage loans and commercial mortgage
loans, respectively.
A significant majority of commercial mortgages in the portfolio are non-recourse loans and, accordingly, the only guarantees are for specific items that are exceptions to the non-recourse provisions. It is therefore extremely rare for us to have cause to enforce the provisions of a guarantee on a commercial real estate or mortgage loan.
Nonperforming loans are generally those loans where payment of contractual principal or interest is more than 90 days past due. Nonperforming loans were not significant for any of the periods presented.
CREDIT QUALITY OF COMMERCIAL MORTGAGES
i
The
following table presents debt service coverage ratios(a) for commercial mortgages by year of vintage:
(a)The
debt service coverage ratio compares a property’s net operating income to its debt service payments, including principal and interest. Our weighted average debt service coverage ratio was ii1.9/x
at both September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. The debt service coverage ratios are updated when additional relevant information becomes available.
(b)The loan-to-value ratio compares the current unpaid principal balance of the loan to the estimated fair value of the underlying property collateralizing the loan. Our weighted average loan-to-value ratio was i59 percent at September 30, 2023
and i59 percent at December 31, 2022. The loan-to-value ratios have been updated within the last three months to reflect the current carrying values of the loans. We update the valuations of collateral properties by obtaining independent appraisals, generally at least once per year.

/
Our expectations and models used to estimate the allowance for losses on commercial and residential mortgage loans are regularly updated to reflect the current economic environment.
LOAN MODIFICATIONS
The allowance for credit losses incorporates an estimate of lifetime expected credit losses and is recorded on each asset upon asset origination
or acquisition. The starting point for the estimate of the allowance for credit losses is historical loss information, which includes losses from modifications of receivables to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. We use a probability of default/loss given default model to determine the allowance for credit losses for our commercial and residential mortgage loans. An assessment of whether a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty is made on the date of a modification.
Because the effect of most modifications made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty is already included in the allowance for credit losses utilizing the measurement methodologies used to estimate the allowance, a change to the allowance for credit losses is generally not recorded upon modification.
When modifications are executed, they often will be in the form of principal forgiveness, term
extensions, interest rate reductions, or some combination of any of these concessions. When principal is forgiven, the amortized cost basis of the asset is written off against the allowance for credit losses. The amount of the principal forgiveness is deemed to be uncollectible; therefore, that portion of the loan is written off, resulting in a reduction of the amortized cost basis and a corresponding adjustment to the allowance for credit losses.
We assess whether a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty based on a variety of factors, including the borrower’s current default on any of its outstanding debt, the probability of a default on any of its debt in the foreseeable future without the modification, the insufficiency of the borrower’s forecasted cash flows to service any of its outstanding debt (including both principal and interest), and the borrower’s inability to access alternative third party financing at an interest rate that would be reflective of current market conditions for a non-troubled debtor.
During
the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, commercial mortgage loans with an amortized cost of $ii51/ million
and commercial loans, other loans and notes receivable with an amortized cost of $ii168/ million
were granted term extensions. The modified loans represent less than 1 percent of each of these two portfolio segments. These modifications added less than one year to the weighted average life of loans in each of these two portfolio segments.
There were no loans that had defaulted during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, that had been previously modified with borrowers experiencing financial difficulties.
Prior to January 1, 2023, we were required to assess loan modifications to determine if they were a troubled debt restructuring. A troubled debt restructuring was a modification of a loan with a borrower that was experiencing financial difficulty and the modification involved us granting a concession to the troubled borrower. Concessions previously granted included extended
maturity dates, interest rate changes, principal or interest forgiveness, payment deferrals and easing of loan covenants.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, loans with a carrying value of $i220 million were modified as troubled debt restructurings. Effective January 1, 2023, we are no longer required to assess whether loan modifications are troubled debt restructurings.

Reinsurance
i
In the ordinary course of business, our insurance companies purchase both treaty and facultative reinsurance to limit potential losses, provide additional capacity for growth, minimize exposure to significant risks or to facilitate greater diversification of our businesses. In addition, certain of our General Insurance subsidiaries sell reinsurance to other insurance companies. We determine the portion of our ultimate net loss that will be recoverable under our reinsurance contracts
by reference to the terms of the reinsurance protection purchased. This determination involves an estimate of incurred but not reported (IBNR) loss. Reinsurance recoverables for contracts which are accounted for as deposits are subject to similar judgments and uncertainties and reported in Other assets.
Reinsurance assets include the balances due for paid losses and expenses, reserves for losses and expenses reported and outstanding, reserves for IBNR, ceded unearned premiums and ceded future policy benefits for life and accident and health insurance contracts and benefits paid and unpaid. Amounts related to paid and reserved losses and expenses and benefits with respect to these reinsurance agreements are sometimes collateralized. We remain liable
to our policyholders regardless of whether our reinsurers meet their obligations under the reinsurance contracts, and as such, we regularly evaluate the financial condition of our reinsurers and monitor concentration of our credit risk. The estimation of the allowance for unrecoverable reinsurance from reinsurers who are unwilling and/or unable to pay amounts due us requires judgment for which key inputs typically include historical collection rates when amounts due are in dispute or where the reinsurer has suffered a credit event as well as specific reviews of balances in dispute or subject to credit impairment. Changes in the allowance for credit losses and disputes on reinsurance assets are reflected in Policyholder benefits and losses incurred within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss).
PRIOR TO THE ADOPTION OF THE
TARGETED IMPROVEMENTS TO THE ACCOUNTING FOR LONG-DURATION CONTRACTS STANDARD
Assumptions used in estimating reinsurance recoverables related to coinsurance or modco contracts were consistent with those used in estimating the related liabilities and reflected locked-in assumptions, absent a loss recognition event. Amounts recoverable on YRT treaties were recognized when claims were incurred on the reinsured policies.
SUBSEQUENT TO THE ADOPTION OF THE TARGETED IMPROVEMENTS TO THE ACCOUNTING FOR LONG-DURATION CONTRACTS STANDARD
Reinsurance recoverables are recognized in a manner
consistent with the liabilities relating to the underlying reinsured contracts.
The reinsurance recoverables for coinsurance and modco contracts, along with amounts recoverable on YRT treaties are determined based on updated net premium ratios, reflecting updated actuarial assumptions using locked-in upper-medium investment instrument yield discount rates with changes recognized as remeasurement gains and losses reported in income. In addition, reinsurance recoverables are remeasured at the balance sheet date using current upper-medium grade discount rates with changes reported in OCI. For reinsurance agreements that reinsure existing, or non-contemporaneous (in-force) traditional and limited payment long-
duration insurance contracts, the reinsurance recoverable is measured using the upper-medium grade fixed-income instrument yield discount rate assumption related to the effective date of the reinsurance contract.
Therefore, for non-contemporaneous reinsurance agreements executed after January 1, 2021, the locked-in rate to accrete interest into the income statement related to the reinsurance recoverable would be different from the locked-in rate used for accreting interest on the direct reserve for future policy benefits. Certain reinsured guaranteed benefits previously reported as reinsurance recoverables are classified as Market risk benefit assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and are measured at fair value.

The remeasurement of the reinsurance assets using the current upper-medium grade discount rate is offset in AOCI.
FORTITUDE RE
Fortitude Re is the reinsurer of the majority of AIG’s run-off operations. The reinsurance transactions are structured as modco and loss portfolio transfer arrangements with funds withheld (funds withheld). In modco and funds withheld arrangements, the investments supporting the reinsurance agreements, and which reflect the majority of the consideration that would be paid to the reinsurer for entering into the transaction, are withheld by, and therefore continue to
reside on the balance sheet of, the ceding company (i.e., AIG) thereby creating an obligation for the ceding company to pay the reinsurer (i.e., Fortitude Re) at a later date. Additionally, as AIG maintains ownership of these investments, AIG will maintain its existing accounting for these assets (e.g., the changes in fair value of available for sale securities will be recognized within OCI). AIG has established a funds withheld payable to Fortitude Re while simultaneously establishing a reinsurance asset representing reserves for the insurance coverage that Fortitude Re has assumed. The funds withheld payable contains an embedded derivative and changes in fair value of the embedded derivative related to the funds withheld payable are recognized in earnings through Net realized gains (losses). This embedded derivative is considered a total return swap with contractual returns that are attributable to various assets and liabilities associated with these reinsurance agreements.
As
of September 30, 2023, approximately $i25.9 billion of reserves from our Life and Retirement Run-Off Lines and approximately $i3.0 billion
of reserves from our General Insurance Run-Off Lines related to business written by multiple wholly-owned AIG subsidiaries, had been ceded to Fortitude Re under these reinsurance transactions.

REINSURANCE
– CREDIT LOSSES
The estimation of reinsurance recoverables involves a significant amount of judgment, particularly for latent exposures, such as asbestos, due to their long-tail nature. We assess the collectability of reinsurance recoverable balances in each reporting period, through either historical trends of disputes and credit events or financial analysis of the credit quality of the reinsurer. We record adjustments to reflect the results of these assessments through an allowance for credit losses and disputes on uncollectible reinsurance that reduces the carrying amount of reinsurance and other assets on the consolidated balance sheets (collectively, reinsurance recoverables). This estimate requires significant judgment for which key considerations include:
•paid and unpaid amounts recoverable;
•whether
the balance is in dispute or subject to legal collection;
•the
relative financial health of the reinsurer as classified by the Obligor Risk Ratings (ORRs) we assign to each reinsurer based upon our financial reviews; reinsurers that are financially troubled (i.e., in run-off, have voluntarily or involuntarily been placed in receivership, are insolvent, are in the process of liquidation or otherwise subject to formal or informal regulatory restriction) are assigned ORRs that will generate a significant allowance; and
•whether collateral and collateral arrangements exist.
An estimate of the reinsurance recoverable's lifetime expected credit losses is established utilizing a probability of default and loss given default method, which reflects the reinsurer’s ORR. The allowance for credit losses excludes disputed amounts. An allowance for disputes is established for a reinsurance recoverable using the losses incurred model
for contingencies.
The total reinsurance recoverables as of September 30, 2023 were $i69.4 billion. As of that date, utilizing AIG’s ORRs, (i) approximately i89
percent of the reinsurance recoverables were investment grade, of which i49 percent related to General Insurance and i40 percent related to Life and Retirement; (ii) approximately i9
percent of the reinsurance recoverables were non-investment grade, the majority of which related to General Insurance and (iii) approximately i2 percent of the reinsurance recoverables related to entities that were not rated by AIG.
The total reinsurance recoverables as of December 31, 2022 were $i71.8 billion.
As of that date, utilizing AIG’s ORRs, (i) approximately i92 percent of the reinsurance recoverables were investment grade, of which i53 percent related to General Insurance and i39
percent related to Life and Retirement; (ii) approximately i7 percent of the reinsurance recoverables were non-investment grade, the majority of which related to General Insurance; (iii) less than ione percent of the non-investment
grade reinsurance recoverables related to Life and Retirement and (iv) approximately ione percent of the reinsurance recoverables related to entities that were not rated by AIG.
As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, approximately i83
percent and i77 percent, respectively, of our non-investment grade reinsurance exposure related to captive insurers. These arrangements are typically collateralized by letters of credit, funds withheld or trust agreements.

Past-Due
Status
We consider a reinsurance asset to be past due when it is 90 days past due. The allowance for credit losses is estimated excluding disputed amounts. An allowance for disputes is established using the losses incurred method for contingencies. Past due balances on claims that are not in dispute were not material for any of the periods presented.
DAC represent those costs that are incremental and directly related to the successful acquisition of new or renewal of existing insurance contracts. We defer incremental costs that result directly from, and are essential to, the acquisition or renewal of an insurance contract. Such DAC generally include agent or broker commissions and bonuses, premium taxes,
and medical and inspection fees that would not have been incurred if the insurance contract had not been acquired or renewed. Each cost is analyzed to assess whether it is fully deferrable. We partially defer costs, including certain commissions, when we do not believe that the entire cost is directly related to the acquisition or renewal of insurance contracts. Commissions that are not deferred to DAC are recorded in General operating and other expensesin the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss).
We also defer a portion of employee total compensation and payroll-related fringe benefits directly related to time spent performing specific acquisition or renewal activities, including costs
associated with the time spent on underwriting, policy issuance and processing, and sales force contract selling. The amounts deferred are derived based on successful efforts for each distribution channel and/or cost center from which the cost originates.
Short-duration insurance contracts: Policy acquisition costs are deferred and amortized over the period in which the related premiums written are earned, generally 12 months. DAC is grouped consistent with the manner in which the insurance contracts are acquired, serviced and measured for profitability and is reviewed for recoverability based on the profitability of the underlying insurance
contracts. Investment income is anticipated in assessing the recoverability of DAC. We assess the recoverability of DAC on an annual basis or more frequently if circumstances indicate an impairment may have occurred. This assessment is performed by comparing recorded net unearned premiums and anticipated investment income on in-force business to the sum of expected losses and loss adjustment expenses incurred, unamortized DAC and maintenance costs. If the sum of these costs exceeds the amount of recorded net unearned premiums and anticipated investment income, the excess is recognized as an offset against the asset established for DAC. This offset is referred to as a premium deficiency charge. Increases in expected losses and loss adjustment expenses incurred can have a significant impact on the likelihood and amount of a premium deficiency charge.
PRIOR
TO THE ADOPTION OF THE TARGETED IMPROVEMENTS TO THE ACCOUNTING FOR LONG-DURATION CONTRACTS STANDARD
Long-duration insurance contracts: Policy acquisition costs for participating life, traditional life and accident and health insurance products were generally deferred and amortized, with interest, over the premium paying period. The assumptions used to calculate the benefit liabilities and DAC for these traditional products were set when a policy was issued and did not change with changes in actual experience, unless a loss recognition event occurred. These “locked-in” assumptions included mortality, morbidity, persistency, maintenance expenses and investment returns, and included margins for adverse deviation to reflect
uncertainty given that actual experience might deviate from these assumptions. A loss recognition event occurred when there was a shortfall between the carrying amount of future policy benefit liabilities, net of DAC, and what the future policy benefit liabilities, net of DAC, would be when applying updated current assumptions. When we determined a loss recognition event had occurred, we first reduced any DAC related to that block of business through amortization of acquisition expense, and after DAC was depleted, we recorded additional liabilities through a charge to Policyholder benefits and losses incurred. Groupings for loss recognition testing were consistent with our manner of acquiring, servicing and measuring the profitability of the business and applied by product groupings. We performed separate loss recognition tests for traditional life products, payout annuities and long-term care products. Our policy was to perform loss recognition testing net of reinsurance.
Once loss recognition had been recorded for a block of business, the old assumption set was replaced, and the assumption set used for the loss recognition would then be subject to the lock-in principle.
Investment-oriented contracts: Certain policy acquisition costs and policy issuance costs related to investment-oriented contracts, for example universal life, variable and fixed annuities, and fixed index annuities, were deferred and amortized, with interest, in relation to the incidence of EGPs to be realized over the estimated lives of the contracts. EGPs were affected by a number of factors, including levels of current and expected interest
rates, net investment income and spreads, net realized gains and losses, fees, surrender rates, mortality experience, policyholder behavior experience and equity market returns and volatility. In each reporting period, current period amortization expense was adjusted to reflect actual gross profits. If the assumptions used for estimating gross profit changed significantly, DAC was recalculated using the new assumptions, including actuarial assumptions such as mortality, lapse, benefit utilization, and premium persistency, and any resulting adjustment was included in income. If the new assumptions indicated that future EGPs were higher than previously estimated, DAC was increased resulting in a decrease in amortization expense and increase in income in the current period; if future EGPs were lower than previously estimated, DAC was decreased resulting in an increase in amortization expense and decrease in income in the current period. Updating such assumptions may result
in acceleration of amortization in some products and deceleration of amortization in other products. DAC was grouped consistent with
the manner in which the insurance contracts were acquired, serviced and measured for profitability and was reviewed for recoverability based on the current and projected future profitability of the underlying insurance contracts.
To estimate future EGPs for variable life and annuity products, a long-term annual asset growth assumption was applied to determine the future growth in assets and related asset-based fees. In determining the asset growth rate, the effect of short-term fluctuations in the equity markets was
partially mitigated through the use of a “reversion to the mean” methodology for variable annuities, whereby short-term asset growth above or below long-term annual rate assumptions impacted the growth assumption applied to the five-year period subsequent to the current balance sheet date. The reversion to the mean methodology allowed us to maintain our long-term growth assumptions, while also giving consideration to the effect of actual investment performance. When actual performance significantly deviated from the annual long-term growth assumption, as evidenced by growth assumptions in the five-year reversion to the mean period falling below a certain rate (floor) or rising above a certain rate (cap) for a sustained period, judgment was applied to revise or “unlock” the growth rate assumptions to be used for both the five-year reversion to the mean period as well as the long-term annual growth assumption applied to subsequent periods.
Unrealized
Appreciation (Depreciation) of Investments: DAC related to investment-oriented contracts was also adjusted to reflect the effect of unrealized gains or losses on fixed maturity securities available for sale on EGPs, with related changes recognized through OCI. The adjustment was made at each balance sheet date, as if the securities had been sold at their stated aggregate fair value and the proceeds reinvested at current yields. Similarly, for long-duration traditional insurance contracts, if the assets supporting the liabilities were in a net unrealized gain position at the balance sheet date, loss recognition testing assumptions were updated to exclude such gains from future cash flows by reflecting the impact of reinvestment rates on future yields. If a future loss was
anticipated under this basis, any additional shortfall indicated by loss recognition tests was recognized as a reduction in OCI. Similar to other loss recognition on long-duration insurance contracts, such shortfall is first reflected as a reduction in DAC and secondly as an increase in liabilities for Future policy benefits. The change in these adjustments, net of tax, was included with the change in net unrealized appreciation of investments that is credited or charged directly to OCI.
SUBSEQUENT TO THE ADOPTION OF THE TARGETED IMPROVEMENTS TO THE ACCOUNTING FOR LONG-DURATION CONTRACTS STANDARD
DAC for all long-duration contracts,
except for those with limited to no exposure to policyholder behavior risk, (i.e., certain investment contracts), is grouped and amortized on a constant level basis (i.e., approximating straight line amortization with adjustments for expected terminations) over the expected term of the related contracts using assumptions consistent with those used in estimating the related liability for future policy benefits, or any other related balances, for those corresponding contracts, as applicable. Capitalized expenses are only included in DAC amortization as expenses are incurred. For amortization purposes, contracts are grouped
into annual cohorts by issue year and product and to segregate reinsured and non-reinsured contracts. For life insurance contracts, amortization is based on insurance in-force, while initial deposits are used for deferred annuity contracts, structured settlements and pension risk transfer products. Changes in future assumptions (e.g., expected duration of contracts or amount of coverage expected to be in force) are applied by adjusting the amortization rate prospectively. The Company has elected to implicitly account for actual experience,
whether favorable or unfavorable, in its amortization expense each period. DAC is capped at the amount of expenses capitalized as the DAC balance does not accrue interest. DAC is not subject to recoverability testing.
Value of Business Acquired (VOBA) is determined at the time of acquisition and is reported in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets with DAC. This value is based on the present value of future pre-tax profits discounted at yields applicable at the time of purchase. VOBA is amortized, consistent with DAC, i.e., over the life of the business on a constant level basis.
Internal Replacements of Long-duration and Investment-oriented Products:the accounting of internal replacements has generally not been impacted by the adoption of LDTI.
i
The
following table presents the transition rollforward for DAC*:
*Excludes
$i2.5 billion of DAC in General Insurance.
/
Prior to the adoption of LDTI, DAC for investment-oriented products included the effect of unrealized gains or losses on fixed maturity securities classified as available for sale. At the Transition Date, these adjustments were removed with a corresponding offset in AOCI. As the available for sale portfolio was in an unrealized gain position as of the Transition Date,
the adjustment for removal of related balances in AOCI originating from unrealized gains (losses) balances was reducing DAC.
We offer deferred sales inducements (DSI) which include enhanced crediting rates or bonus payments to contract holders (bonus interest) on certain annuity and investment contract products. To qualify for such accounting treatment as an asset, the bonus interest must be explicitly identified in the contract at inception. We must also demonstrate that such amounts are incremental to amounts we credit on similar contracts without bonus interest and are higher than the contracts’
expected ongoing crediting rates for periods after the bonus period. DSI is reported in Other assets, while amortization related to DSI is recorded in Interest credited to policyholder account balances.
Prior to the adoption of the Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Long-Duration Contracts Standard
DSI amounts were deferred and amortized over the life of the contract in relation to the incidence of EGPs to be realized over the estimated lives of the contracts. DSI was adjusted for the effect on EGPs of unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities, with related changes recognized through OCI.
Subsequent
to the adoption of the Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Long-Duration Contracts Standard
DSI amounts are deferred and amortized on a constant level basis over the life of the contract consistent with DAC. Changes in future assumptions (e.g., expected duration of contracts) are applied by adjusting the amortization rate prospectively rather than through a retrospective catch up adjustment. The Company has elected to implicitly account for actual experience, whether favorable or unfavorable, in its amortization expense each period, consistent with DAC.
The
following table presents the transition rollforward for DSI*:
Prior to the adoption of LDTI, deferred sales inducements for investment-oriented products included the effect of unrealized gains or losses on fixed maturity securities classified as available-for-sale.

as of the Transition Date, the adjustment for removal of related balances in AOCI originating from unrealized gains (losses) balances was reducing DSI.

i10. Variable Interest Entities
i
We
enter into various arrangements with Variable Interest Entities (VIEs) in the normal course of business and consolidate the VIEs when we determine we are the primary beneficiary. This analysis includes a review of the VIE’s capital structure, related contractual relationships and terms, nature of the VIE’s operations and purpose, nature of the VIE’s interests issued and our involvement with the entity. When assessing the need to consolidate a VIE, we evaluate the design of the VIE as well as the related risks to which the entity was designed to expose the variable interest holders.
The primary beneficiary is the entity that has both (i) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly affect the entity’s economic performance and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could be potentially significant to the VIE. While also considering these factors, the consolidation
conclusion depends on the breadth of our decision-making ability and our ability to influence activities that significantly affect the economic performance of the VIE.
BALANCE SHEET CLASSIFICATION AND EXPOSURE TO LOSS
Creditors or beneficial interest holders of VIEs for which AIG is the primary beneficiary generally have recourse only to the assets and cash flows of the VIEs and do not have recourse to AIG, except in limited circumstances when AIG has provided a guarantee to the VIE’s interest holders. iThe following table presents the
total assets and total liabilities associated with our variable interests in consolidated VIEs, as classified in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets:
(d)At September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, off-balance sheet exposure primarily consisting of our insurance companies’ commitments to real estate and investment entities were $i1.9
billion and $i2.1 billion, respectively, of which commitments to external parties were $i0.4 billion and $i0.6
billion, respectively.
(e)During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, as part of the sale of AIG Credit Management, LLC, certain consolidated investment entities were deconsolidated. The impact of the deconsolidation was a decrease of $i3.6 billion in assets and $i3.1 billion in liabilities,
resulting in a pre-tax loss of $i14 million.
We calculate our maximum exposure to loss to be (i) the amount invested in the debt or equity of the VIE, (ii) the notional amount of VIE assets or liabilities where we have also provided credit protection to the VIE with the VIE as the referenced obligation, and (iii) other commitments and guarantees to the VIE.

primarily of hedge funds and private equity funds.
(b)At September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, excludes approximately $i1,935 million and $i2,057 million, respectively, of VIE
assets related to AIGFP and its consolidated subsidiaries, with maximum off-balance sheet exposure to loss of $i1,907 million and $i2,033 million,
respectively. For additional information, see Note 1.
(c)At September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, $i9.1 billion and $i9.3
billion, respectively, of our total unconsolidated VIE assets were recorded as Other invested assets.
(d)These amounts represent our unfunded commitments to invest in private equity funds and hedge funds.
(e)These amounts represent our estimate of the maximum exposure to loss under certain insurance policies issued to VIEs if a hypothetical loss occurred to the extent of the full amount of the insured value. Our insurance policies cover defined risks and our estimate of liability is included in our insurance reserves on the balance sheet.

Derivatives and Hedge Accounting
iWe use derivatives and other financial instruments as part of our financial risk management programs and as part of our investment operations. Interest rate derivatives (such as interest rate swaps) are used to manage interest rate risk associated with embedded derivatives contained in insurance contract liabilities, fixed maturity securities, outstanding medium- and long-term notes as well as other interest rate sensitive assets and liabilities. Foreign exchange derivatives (principally foreign exchange forwards and swaps) are used to
economically mitigate risk associated with non-U.S. dollar denominated debt, net capital exposures, foreign currency transactions, and foreign denominated investments. Equity derivatives are used to economically mitigate financial risk associated with embedded derivatives and MRBs in certain insurance liabilities. We use credit derivatives to manage our credit exposures. Commodity derivatives are used to hedge exposures within reinsurance contracts. The derivatives are effective economic hedges of the exposures that they are meant to offset. In addition to hedging activities, we also enter into derivative contracts with respect to investment operations, which may include, among other things, credit default swaps (CDSs), total return swaps and purchases of investments with embedded derivatives,
such as equity-linked notes and convertible bonds.

billion and $i5.4 billion, respectively, at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. 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 fixed index annuities and index universal life products, which
include equity and interest rate components, and the funds withheld arrangement with Fortitude Re. For additional information, see Note 8.

COLLATERAL
We engage in derivative transactions that are not subject to a clearing requirement directly with unaffiliated third parties, in most cases, under International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. (ISDA) Master Agreements. Many of the ISDA Master Agreements also include Credit Support Annex provisions, which provide for collateral postings that may vary at various ratings and threshold levels. We attempt to reduce our risk with certain counterparties by entering into agreements that enable collateral to be obtained from a counterparty on an upfront or contingent basis. We minimize the risk that counterparties might be
unable to fulfill their contractual obligations by monitoring counterparty credit exposure and collateral value and generally requiring additional collateral to be posted upon the occurrence of certain events or circumstances. In addition, certain derivative transactions have provisions that require collateral to be posted by us upon a downgrade of our long-term debt ratings or give the counterparty the right to terminate the transaction. In the case of some of the derivative transactions, upon a downgrade of our long-term debt ratings, as an alternative to posting collateral and subject to certain conditions, we may assign the transaction to an obligor with higher debt ratings or arrange for a substitute guarantee of our obligations by an obligor with higher debt ratings or take other similar action. The actual amount of collateral required to be posted to counterparties in the event of such downgrades, or the aggregate amount of payments that we could be required to
make, depends on market conditions, the fair value of outstanding affected transactions and other factors prevailing at and after the time of the downgrade.
Collateral posted by us to third parties for derivative transactions was $i3.4 billion and $i2.9 billion
at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. In the case of collateral posted under derivative transactions that are not subject to clearing, this collateral can generally be repledged or resold by the counterparties. Collateral provided to us from third parties for derivative transactions was $i2.6 billion and $i2.0 billion
at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. In the case of collateral provided to us under derivative transactions that are not subject to clearing, we generally can repledge or resell collateral.
OFFSETTING
We have elected to present all derivative receivables and derivative payables, and the related cash collateral received and paid, on a net basis on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets when a legally enforceable ISDA Master Agreement exists between us and our derivative counterparty. An ISDA Master Agreement is an agreement governing multiple derivative transactions between two counterparties. The ISDA Master Agreement generally provides for the net settlement of all, or a specified group, of these derivative transactions, as well as transferred collateral,
through a single payment, and in a single currency, as applicable. The net settlement provisions apply in the event of a default on, or affecting any, one derivative transaction or a termination event affecting all, or a specified group of, derivative transactions governed by the ISDA Master Agreement.
HEDGE ACCOUNTING
We designated certain derivatives entered into with third parties as fair value hedges of available for sale investment securities held by our insurance subsidiaries. The fair value hedges include foreign currency forwards and cross currency swaps designated as hedges of the change in fair value of foreign currency denominated available for sale securities attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates. We also designated certain interest rate swaps entered into with third
parties as fair value hedges of fixed rate GICs attributable to changes in benchmark interest rates.
We use foreign currency denominated debt and cross-currency swaps as hedging instruments in net investment hedge relationships to mitigate the foreign exchange risk associated with our non-U.S. dollar functional currency foreign subsidiaries. For net investment hedge relationships where issued debt is used as a hedging instrument, we assess the hedge effectiveness and measure the amount of ineffectiveness based on changes in spot rates. For net investment hedge relationships that use derivatives as hedging instruments, we assess hedge effectiveness and measure hedge ineffectiveness using changes in forward rates. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023,
we recognized gains (losses) of $i41 million and $i8 million, respectively,
and for the three and nine months endedSeptember 30, 2022, we recognized gains (losses) of $i137 million and $i444
million, respectively, included in Change in foreign currency translation adjustments in OCI related to the net investment hedge relationships.
A qualitative methodology is utilized to assess hedge effectiveness for net investment hedges, while regression analysis is employed for all other hedges.

CREDIT RISK-RELATED CONTINGENT FEATURES
We estimate that at September 30, 2023, based on our outstanding financial derivative transactions, a downgrade of our long-term senior debt ratings to BBB or BBB–
by Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC, a subsidiary of S&P Global Inc., and/or a downgrade to Baa2 or Baa3 by Moody’s Investors’ Service, Inc. would permit counterparties to make additional collateral calls and permit certain counterparties to elect early termination of contracts, resulting in corresponding collateral postings and termination payments in the total amount of up to approximately $i6 million. The aggregate fair value of our derivatives that were
in a net liability position and that contain such credit risk-related contingencies which can be triggered below our long-term senior debt ratings of BBB+ or Baa1 was approximately $i33 million and $i32 million
at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The aggregate fair value of assets posted as collateral under these contracts at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, was approximately $i33 million and $i34 million,
respectively.
HYBRID SECURITIES WITH EMBEDDED CREDIT DERIVATIVES
We invest in hybrid securities (such as credit-linked notes) with the intent of generating income and not specifically to acquire exposure to embedded derivative risk. As is the case with our other investments in RMBS, CMBS, CLO and ABS, our investments in these hybrid securities are exposed to losses only up to the amount of our initial investment in the hybrid security. Other than our initial investment in the hybrid securities, we have no further obligation to make payments on the embedded credit derivatives in the related hybrid securities.
We elect to account for our investments in these hybrid securities with embedded written credit derivatives at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in Net investment income. Our investments in these hybrid securities
are reported as Other bond securities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The fair value of these hybrid securities was under $ii1/ million
at both September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. These securities have par amounts of $i42 million and $i42 million at September
30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, and have remaining stated maturity dates that extend to 2052.
LIABILITY FOR UNPAID LOSSES AND LOSS ADJUSTMENT EXPENSES (LOSS RESERVES)
iLoss
reserves represent the accumulation of estimates of unpaid claims, including estimates for claims incurred but not reported and loss adjustment expenses, less applicable discount. We regularly review and update the methods used to determine loss reserve estimates. Any adjustments resulting from this review are reflected currently in pre-tax income, except to the extent such adjustment impacts a deferred gain under a retroactive reinsurance agreement, in which case the ceded portion would be amortized into pre-tax income in subsequent periods. Because these estimates are subject to the outcome of future events, changes in estimates are common given that loss trends vary and time is often required for changes in trends to be recognized and confirmed. Reserve changes that increase previous estimates of ultimate cost are referred to as unfavorable or adverse development or reserve strengthening. Reserve changes that decrease previous estimates of ultimate cost are referred
to as favorable development or reserve releases.
Our gross loss reserves before reinsurance and discount are net of contractual deductible recoverable amounts due from policyholders of approximately $i12.8 billion and $i12.1 billion
at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. These recoverable amounts are related to certain policies with high deductibles (in excess of high dollar amounts retained by the insured through self-insured retentions, deductibles, retrospective programs, or captive arrangements, each referred to generically as “deductibles”), primarily for U.S. Commercial casualty business. With respect to the deductible portion of the claim, we manage and pay the entire claim on behalf of the insured and are reimbursed by the insured for the deductible portion of the claim. Thus, these recoverable amounts represent a credit exposure to us. At September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 we held collateral of approximately $i8.8 billion
and $i8.6 billion, respectively, for these deductible recoverable amounts, consisting primarily of letters of credit and funded trust agreements. Allowance for credit losses for the unsecured portion of these recoverable amounts was $ii14/ million
at both September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

Net liability for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses
(a)Includes $i9 million
and $i5 million for the retroactive reinsurance agreement with National Indemnity Company (NICO), a subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (Berkshire), covering U.S. asbestos exposures for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $i22 million
and $i15 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
(b)Includes benefit (charge) from change in discount on retroactive reinsurance in the amount of $i24
million and $i17 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 respectively, and $i120
million and $i74 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
(c)Excludes $i1.5
billion of Reinsurance recoverable reclassified to Assets held for sale on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at September 30, 2023.
On January 20, 2017, we entered into an adverse development reinsurance agreement with NICO, under which we transferred to NICO i80 percent of the reserve risk on substantially all of our U.S. commercial long-tail exposures
for accident years 2015 and prior. Under this agreement, we ceded to NICO i80 percent of the paid losses on subject business paid on or after January 1, 2016 in excess of $i25 billion
of net paid losses, up to an aggregate limit of $i25 billion. At NICO’s i80 percent share, NICO’s limit of liability under the contract
is $i20 billion. We account for this transaction as retroactive reinsurance. We paid total consideration, including interest, of $i10.2 billion. The consideration
was placed into a collateral trust account as security for NICO’s claim payment obligations, and Berkshire has provided a parental guarantee to secure the obligations of NICO under the agreement.
Prior Year Development
During the three months ended September 30, 2023, we recognized favorable prior year loss reserve development of $i246 million
excluding discount and amortization of deferred gain. The development in this period was largely driven by favorable development on our U.S. Workers' Compensation business, International Financial Lines in all regions except UK, which was adverse, and Japan Personal Insurance partially offset by unfavorable development on UK/Europe Casualty. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we recognized favorable prior year loss reserve development of $i380 million
excluding discount and amortization of deferred gain. The development in this period was largely driven by favorable development on our U.S. Workers' Compensation business, U.S. Other Casualty and Other Product Lines, partially offset by unfavorable development on UK/Europe Casualty and UK Financial Lines.
During the three months ended September 30, 2022, we recognized favorable prior year loss reserve development of $i112 million
excluding discount and amortization of deferred gain. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we recognized favorable prior year loss reserve development of $i537 million excluding discount and amortization of deferred gain. The development in these periods was primarily driven by favorable development on U.S. Workers' Compensation, U.S. Other Casualty, Global Specialty and International Personal Lines led by Japan, with
unfavorable development in Financial Lines (U.S. and International) and International Casualty Lines.
Discounting of Loss Reserves
At September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the loss reserves reflect a net loss reserve discount of $i1.3 billion and $i1.3 billion,
respectively, including tabular and non-tabular calculations based upon the following assumptions:
•The non-tabular workers’ compensation discount is calculated separately for companies domiciled in New York, Pennsylvania and Delaware, and follows the statutory regulations (prescribed or permitted) for each state.
–For New York companies, the discount is based on a i5 percent interest rate and the companies’ own payout patterns.
–The
Pennsylvania and Delaware regulators approved use of a consistent benchmark discount rate and spread (U.S. Treasury rate plus a liquidity premium) to all of our workers’ compensation reserves in our Pennsylvania domiciled and Delaware domiciled companies, as well as our use of updated payout patterns specific to our primary and excess workers compensation portfolios. In 2020, the regulators also approved that the discount rate will be updated on an annual basis.
•The tabular workers’ compensation discount is calculated based on the mortality rate used in the 2007 U.S. Life table and interest rates prescribed or permitted by each state (i.e. New York is based on i5
percent interest rate and Pennsylvania and Delaware are based on U.S. Treasury rate plus a liquidity premium). In the case that applying this tabular discount factor to our nominal reserves produces a tabular discount that is greater than the indemnity portion of our case reserves, the tabular discount is capped at our estimate of the indemnity portion of our cases reserves (i45 percent).
The discount for asbestos reserves has been fully accreted.
At September 30, 2023 and December
31, 2022, the discount consists of $i316 million and $i314 million of tabular discount, respectively, and $i997 million
and $i964 million of non-tabular discount for workers’ compensation, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the benefit / (charge) from changes in discount of $(i85)
million and $(i4) million, respectively, were recorded as part of Policyholder benefits and losses incurred in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss).

Amortization of Deferred Gain on Retroactive Reinsurance
Amortization of the deferred gain on retroactive reinsurance includes $(i36)
million and $i18 million related to the adverse development reinsurance cover with NICO for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $i36 million
and $i22 million related to the adverse development reinsurance cover with NICO for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Amounts recognized reflect the amortization of the initial deferred gain at inception, as amended for subsequent changes in the deferred gain due to changes in subject reserves.
i
FUTURE
POLICY BENEFITS
Future policy benefits primarily include reserves for traditional life and annuity payout contracts, which represent an estimate of the present value of future benefits less the present value of future net premiums. Included in Future policy benefits are liabilities for annuities issued in structured settlement arrangements whereby a claimant receives life contingent payments over their lifetime. Also included are pension risk transfer arrangements whereby an upfront premium is received in exchange for guaranteed retirement benefits. All payments under these arrangements are fixed and determinable with respect to their amounts and dates.
Prior to the adoption of the Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Long-Duration Contracts
Standard
Future policy benefits for traditional and limited pay contracts were reserved using actuarial assumptions locked-in at contract issuance. These assumptions were only updated when a loss recognition event occurred. Also included in Future policy benefits were reserves for contracts in loss recognition, including the adjustment to reflect the effect of unrealized gains on fixed maturity securities available for sale with related changes recognized through OCI.
Future policy benefits also included certain guaranteed benefits of annuity products that were not considered embedded derivatives.
Subsequent
to the adoption of the Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Long-Duration Contracts Standard
For traditional and limited pay long-duration products, benefit reserves are accrued and benefit expense is recognized using a NPR methodology for each annual cohort of business. This NPR method incorporates periodic retrospective revisions to the NPR to reflect updated actuarial assumptions and variances in actual versus expected experience. The Future policy benefit liability is accrued by multiplying the gross premium recognized in each period by the net premium ratio. The net premium is equal to the portion of the gross premium required to provide for all benefits and certain expenses and may not exceed 100 percent. Benefits in excess of premiums are expensed immediately through Policyholder benefits. In addition, periodic revisions
to the NPR below 100 percent may result in reclassification between the benefit reserves and deferred profit liability for limited pay contracts.
Insurance contracts are aggregated into annual cohorts for the purposes of determining the liability for future policy benefits (LFPB), but are not aggregated across segments. These annual cohorts may be further segregated based on product characteristics, or to distinguish business reinsured from non-reinsured business or products issued in different functional currencies. The assumptions used to calculate the future policy benefits include discount rates, persistency and recognized morbidity and mortality tables modified to reflect the Company's experience.
The
current discount rate assumption for the liability for future policy benefits is derived from market observable yields on upper-medium-grade fixed income instruments. The Company uses an external index as the source of the yields on these instruments for the first 30 years. For years 30 to 50, the yield is derived using market observable yields. Yields for years 50 to 100 are extrapolated using a flat forward approach, maintaining a constant forward spread through the period. The current discount rate assumption is updated quarterly and used to remeasure the liability at the reporting date, with the resulting change in the discount rate reflected in OCI.
The method for constructing and applying the locked-in discount rate assumptions on newly issued business is determined based on factors such as product characteristics and the expected timing of cash flows.
This discount rate assumption is derived from market observable yields on upper-medium-grade fixed income instruments. Similar to the current discount rate assumption, the Company may employ conversion and interpolation methodologies when necessary. The applicable interest accretion is reflected in Policyholder benefits and losses incurred in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss).

Adjustments for the reclassification between the liability for future policy benefits and deferred profit liability represent changes in the net premium ratios that are less than 100 percent at transition for certain limited pay cohorts, resulting in a reclassification between the two liabilities, with no impact on Retained earnings.
Adjustments for Changes in cash flow assumptions represents revised net premium ratios in excess of 100 percent for certain cohorts at transition, with an offset to Retained earnings.
The effect of the remeasurement at the current single A rate is reported at the Transition Date and
each subsequent balance sheet date, with an offset in AOCI.
Prior to adoption, loss recognition for traditional products was adjusted for the effect of unrealized gains on fixed maturity securities available for sale. At the Transition Date, these adjustments were removed with a corresponding offset in AOCI.

Actuarial Assumption Updates for Liability for Future Policy Benefits
In 2023, the life insurance companies recognized an unfavorable impact to net income due to other refinements on Life products offset in part by mortality assumption updates. In 2022, the life insurance companies recognized a favorable impact to net income (mostly offset by corresponding DPL adjustment) due to updates to mortality and retirement assumptions on certain pension risk transfer products.
Deferred Profit Liability:The Company issues certain annuity and life insurance contracts where premiums are paid up-front or for a shorter period than benefits will be paid (i.e., limited pay contracts). A DPL is required to be established to avoid recognition of gains when these contracts are issued. DPLs are amortized over the life of the contracts to align the revenue recognized with the related benefit expenses. The DPL is amortized in a constant relationship to the amount of discounted insurance in force for life insurance or expected future benefit payments
for annuity contracts over the term of the contract.
Prior to the adoption of the Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Long-Duration Contracts Standard
Limited pay contracts were subject to a lock-in concept and assumptions derived at policy issue were not subsequently updated unless a loss recognition event occurred. The net premiums were recorded as revenue. The difference between the gross premium received and the net premium was deferred and recognized in premiums in a constant relationship to insurance in-force, or for
annuities, the amount of expected future policy benefits. This unearned revenue (deferred profit) was recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets in Other policyholder funds.
Subsequent to the adoption of the Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Long-Duration Contracts Standard
The difference between the gross premium received and recorded as revenue and the net premium is deferred and recognized in policyholder benefits in a constant relationship to insurance in-force, or for annuities, the amount of expected future policy benefits. This deferred profit liability accretes interest and is recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets in Future policy benefits. Cash flow assumptions included in the measurement of the DPL are the same as those utilized in the respective
LFPBs and are reviewed at least annually. The cash flow estimates for DPLs are updated on a retrospective catch-up basis at the same time as the cash flow estimates for the related LFPBs. The updated LFPB cash flows are used to recalculate the DPL at the inception of the applicable related LFPB cohort. The difference between the recalculated DPL at the beginning of the current reporting period and the carrying amount of the DPL at the current reporting period is recognized as a gain or loss in Policyholder benefits and losses incurred in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss).

Adjustments for the reclassification between the liability for future policy benefits and deferred profit liability represent changes in the net premium ratios that are less than 100 percent at transition for certain limited pay cohorts, resulting in a reclassification between the two liabilities, with no impact on Retained earnings.
Additional Liabilities: For universal-life type products, insurance benefits in excess of the account balance are generally recognized as expenses in the period incurred unless the design of the product is such that future charges are insufficient to cover the benefits, in which case an “additional liability” is accrued over the life of the contract. These additional
liabilities are included in Future policy benefits for life and accident and health insurance contracts in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Prior to the adoption of the standard, our additional liabilities consisted primarily of guaranteed minimum death benefits (GMDBs) on annuities, as well as universal-life contracts with secondary guarantees. Subsequent to the adoption of this standard, the GMDBs have been reclassified and reported as MRBs, while the universal-life contracts with secondary guarantees continue to be reported as additional liabilities.
(a)Adjustments
for the reclassification of additional liabilities from Future policy benefits to MRBs represent contract guarantees (e.g., GMDBs) that were previously classified as insurance liabilities within Future policy benefits, but have been reclassified as MRBs as of January 1, 2021. For additional information on the transition impacts associated with LDTI, see Note 14.

(c)Represents Life and Retirement legacy insurance lines ceded to Fortitude
Re.
Post-adoption, our additional liabilities primarily consist of universal life policies with secondary guarantees and these additional liabilities are recognized in addition to the Policyholder account balances. For universal life policies with secondary guarantees, as well as other universal life policies for which profits followed by losses are expected at contract inception, a liability is recognized based on a benefit ratio of (a) the present value of total expected payments, in excess of the account value, over the life of the contract, divided by (b) the present value of total expected assessments over the life of the contract. For universal life policies
without secondary guarantees, for which profits followed by losses are first expected after contract inception, we establish a liability, in addition to policyholder account balances, so that expected future losses are recognized in proportion to the emergence of profits in the earlier (profitable) years. Universal life account balances are reported within Policyholder contract deposits, while these additional liabilities are reported within the liability for future policy benefits in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. These additional liabilities are also adjusted to reflect the effect of unrealized gains or losses on fixed maturity securities available for sale on accumulated assessments, with related changes recognized through OCI. The policyholder behavior assumptions for these liabilities
include mortality, lapses and premium persistency. The capital market assumptions used for the liability for universal life secondary guarantees include discount rates and net earned rates.

The following table presents details concerning our universal life policies with secondary guarantees and similar features:
Actuarial
Assumption Updates for Liability for Universal Life Policies With Secondary Guarantees And Similar Features
In 2023, the life insurance companies recognized a favorable impact to net income due to updates to the portfolio yield assumption and refinements to the modeling for universal life with secondary guarantees and similar features, partially offset by updated premium assumptions. In 2022, the life insurance companies recognized a favorable impact to net income due to modeling refinements to reflect actual versus expected asset data related to calls and capital gains.
The
liability for Policyholder contract deposits is primarily recorded at accumulated value (deposits received and net transfers from separate accounts, plus accrued interest credited, less withdrawals and assessed fees). Deposits collected on investment-oriented products are not reflected as revenues. They are recorded directly to Policyholder contract deposits upon receipt. Amounts assessed against the contract holders for mortality, administrative, and other services are included as Policy fees in revenues.
In addition to liabilities for universal life, fixed annuities, fixed options within variable annuities, annuities without life contingencies, funding agreements
and GICs, policyholder contract deposits also include our liability for (i) index features accounted for as embedded derivatives at fair value, (ii) annuities issued in a structured settlement arrangement with no life contingency and (iii) certain contracts we have elected to account for at fair value. Changes in the fair value of the embedded derivatives related to policy index features and the fair value of derivatives hedging these liabilities are recognized in realized gains and losses.
For additional information on index credits accounted for as embedded derivatives, see Note 5.
Under a funding agreement-backed notes issuance program, an unaffiliated, non-consolidated statutory trust issues medium-term
notes to investors, which are secured by funding agreements issued to the trust by one of our Life and Retirement companies through our Institutional Markets business.

*Excludes

OTHER POLICYHOLDER FUNDS
Other policyholder funds include URR, consisting of front-end loads on investment-oriented contracts, representing those policy loads that are non-level and typically higher in initial policy years than in later policy years. Amortization of URR is recorded in Policy fees.
Prior to the adoption of the Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Long-Duration Contracts
Standard
URR for investment-oriented contracts are generally deferred and amortized, with interest, in relation to the incidence of EGPs to be realized over the estimated lives of the contracts and are subject to the same adjustments due to changes in the assumptions underlying EGPs as DAC. Similar to unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments for DAC, URR related to investment-oriented products is also adjusted to reflect the effect of unrealized gains or losses on fixed maturity securities available for sale on EGPs, with related changes recognized through OCI.
Subsequent to the adoption of the Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Long-Duration Contracts
Standard
URR for investment-oriented contracts are generally deferred and amortized into income using the same assumptions and factors used to amortize DAC (i.e., on a constant level basis). Changes in future assumptions are applied by adjusting the amortization rate prospectively. The Company has elected to implicitly account for actual experience, whether favorable or unfavorable, in its amortization of URR (i.e., policy fees) each period.
The following table presents the transition rollforward of URR:
Prior to the adoption of LDTI, URR for investment-oriented products included the effect of unrealized gains or losses on fixed maturity securities classified as available for sale. At the Transition Date, these adjustments were removed with a corresponding offset in AOCI. As the available for sale portfolio was in an unrealized gain position as of the Transition Date, the adjustment for removal of related balances in AOCI originating from unrealized gains (losses) balances was reducing URR.
The following table presents a rollforward of URR:
*Represents
Life and Retirement legacy insurance lines ceded to Fortitude Re. At September 30, 2023 and 2022, Other policyholder funds, excluding URR, totaled $i1.5 billion and $i1.6 billion,

13. Market Risk Benefits
i
MRBs
are defined as contracts or contract features that both provide protection to the contract holder from other-than-nominal capital market risk and expose AIG to other-than nominal capital market risk. The MRB represents an amount that a policyholder receives in addition to the account balance upon the occurrence of a specific event or circumstance, such as death, annuitization, or periodic withdrawal that involves protection from other-than-nominal capital market risk. Certain contract features, such as GMWBs, GMDBs and guaranteed minimum income benefits (GMIBs) commonly found in variable, fixed index and fixed annuities,
are MRBs. MRBs are assessed at contract inception using a non-option method involving attributed fees that results in an initial fair value of zero or an option method that results in a fair value greater than zero.
MRBs are recorded at fair value, and AIG applies a non-option attributed fee valuation method for variable annuity products, and an option-based valuation method (host offset) for both fixed index and fixed products. Under the non-option valuation method, the attributed fee is determined at contract inception; it cannot exceed the total contract fees and assessments collectible from the contract
holder and cannot be less than zero. Investment margin is excluded from the attributed fee determination. Under the option-based valuation method, an offset to the host amount related to the MRB amount is established at inception. Changes in the fair value of MRBs are recorded in net income in Changes in the fair value of market risk benefits, net except for the portion of the fair value change attributable to our own credit risk, which is recognized in OCI. MRBs are derecognized when the underlying contract is surrendered, a GMDB is incurred, a GMIB is annuitized, or when the account value is exhausted on a policy with a GMWB. Generally when a policyholder elects to annuitize a GMIB rider or the account value on a policy with a GMWB rider is reduced to zero, the policy is converted to a payout annuity automatically. When a conversion occurs, the policyholder is issued a new payout
annuity contract. At this point, the MRB is derecognized and a LFPB is established for the payout annuity.
Assumptions used to determine the MRB asset (including ceded MRBs) or liability generally include mortality rates that are based upon actual experience modified to allow for variations in policy form; lapse rates that are based upon actual experience modified to allow for variations in policy features; and investment returns, based on stochastically generated scenarios. We evaluate at least annually estimates used to determine the MRB asset or liability and adjust the balance, with a related charge or credit to Change in fair value of MRBs, net, if actual experience or other evidence suggests that earlier assumptions should be revised. In addition, MRBs are valued such that the current provision for nonperformance risk is reflected
in the claims cash flows of the asset or liability valuation for direct MRBs. The nonperformance risk spread at contract issue is locked-in. The difference between the MRB valued using the at issue nonperformance risk spread and the current nonperformance risk spread is reported through OCI, while changes in the counterparty credit risk related to ceded MRBs are reported in income.
Changes in the fair value of MRBs, net represents changes in the fair value of market risk benefit liabilities and assets (with the exception of our own credit risk changes), and includes attributed rider fees and benefits, net of changes in the fair value of derivative instruments and fixed maturity securities that are used to economically hedge market risk from the variable annuity GMWB riders.

ACTUARIAL ASSUMPTION UPDATES FOR MARKET RISK BENEFITS
In 2023, the life insurance companies recognized a favorable impact to net income due to policyholder behavior assumptions. In 2022, the life insurance companies recognized a favorable impact to net income due to an update to the relationship between projected equity growth and interest rates for annuities.
Annuity contracts may include certain contractually guaranteed benefits to the contract holder. These guaranteed
features include GMDBs that are payable in the event of death and living benefits that are payable when partial withdrawals exhaust a policy’s account value, in the event of annuitization, or, in other instances, at specified dates during the accumulation period. Living benefits primarily include GMWBs. A variable annuity contract may include more than one type of guaranteed benefit feature; for example, it may have both GMDB and GMWB. However, a policyholder can only receive payout from one guaranteed feature on a contract containing a death benefit and a living benefit, i.e., the features are mutually exclusive (except a surviving spouse who has a rider to potentially collect both GMDB upon their spouse’s death and GMWB during their lifetime). A policyholder cannot purchase more than one living
benefit on one contract. The net amount at risk for each feature is calculated irrespective of the existence of other features; as a result, the net amount at risk for each feature is not additive to that of other features.
Guaranteed Benefits on Variable Annuities
Depending on the contract, the GMDB feature may provide a death benefit of either (a) total deposits made to the contract, less any partial withdrawals plus a minimum return (and in rare instances, no minimum return), (b) return of premium whereby the benefit is the greater of the current account value or premiums paid less any partial withdrawals, (c) rollups
whereby the benefit is the greater of current account value or premiums paid (adjusted for withdrawals) accumulated at contractually specified rates up to specified ages, or (d) the highest contract value attained, typically on any anniversary date less any subsequent withdrawals following the contract anniversary. GMDB is our most widely offered benefit.
Certain of our variable annuity contracts also contain living benefit riders, which include optional GMWBs and, to a lesser extent, GMABs and GMIBs. These living benefits and GMDBs related to variable annuity contracts are
accounted for as MRBs measured at fair value, with changes in the fair value (excluding changes in our own credit risk) recorded in Change in the fair value of MRBs, net. The net amount at risk for the GMWB represents benefits in excess of the account value assuming the utilization of all benefits by the contract holders at the balance sheet date. The net amount at risk for the GMDB feature represents the amount of guaranteed benefits in excess of account value if all policyholders died.
Guaranteed Benefits on Fixed Index and Fixed Annuities
Certain of our fixed annuity and fixed index annuity contracts, which are not offered through separate accounts, contain optional GMWBs. With a GMWB, the contract
holder can monetize the excess of the guaranteed amount over the account value of the contract through a series of withdrawals that do not exceed a specific percentage per year of the guaranteed amount. Once the account value is exhausted, the contract holder will receive a series of annuity payments equal to the remaining guaranteed amount; for lifetime GMWB products, the annuity payments continue as long as the covered person(s) is living. The liability for GMWBs in fixed annuity and fixed index annuity contracts, which are recorded in MRBs, represents the expected value of benefits in excess of the projected account value, with the excess (excluding changes in our own credit risk) recognized at fair value
through Change in the fair value of MRBs, net.
The liability for all of our GMWBs in fixed annuity and fixed index annuity contracts are accounted for as MRBs.
For a discussion of the fair value measurement of guaranteed benefits that are accounted for as MRBs, see Note 5.

Separate Account Assets and Liabilities
i
We report variable contracts within the separate accounts when investment income and investment gains and losses accrue directly to, and investment risk is borne by, the contract holder and the separate account meets additional accounting criteria to qualify for separate account treatment. The assets supporting the variable portion of variable annuity and variable universal life contracts
that qualify for separate account treatment are carried at fair value and are reported as separate account assets, with an equivalent summary total reported as separate account liabilities. The assets of separate accounts are legally segregated and are not subject to claims that arise from any of our other businesses.
Policy values for variable products and investment contracts are expressed in terms of investment units. Each unit is linked to an asset portfolio. The value of a unit increases or decreases based on the value of the linked asset portfolio. The current liability at any time is the sum of the current unit value of all investment units in the separate accounts, plus any liabilities for MRBs.
Amounts assessed against the policyholders for mortality, administrative and other
services are included in policy fees. Investment performance (including investment income, net investment gains (losses) and changes in unrealized gains (losses)) and the corresponding amounts credited to policyholders of such separate accounts are offset within the same line in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss).
For discussion of the fair value measurement of guaranteed benefits that are accounted for as MRBs, see Note 5.

Contingencies, Commitments and Guarantees
In the normal course of business, various contingent liabilities and commitments are entered into by AIG and our subsidiaries. In addition, AIG Parent guarantees various obligations of certain subsidiaries.
Although AIG cannot currently quantify its ultimate liability for unresolved litigation and investigation matters, including those referred to below, it is possible that such liability could have a material adverse effect on AIG’s consolidated financial condition or its consolidated results of operations or consolidated cash flows for an individual reporting period.
LEGAL CONTINGENCIES
Overview
In
the normal course of business, AIG and our subsidiaries are subject to regulatory and government investigations and actions, and litigation and other forms of dispute resolution in a large number of proceedings pending in various domestic and foreign jurisdictions. Certain of these matters involve potentially significant risk of loss due to potential for significant jury awards and settlements, punitive damages or other penalties. Many of these matters are also highly complex and may seek recovery on behalf of a class or similarly large number of plaintiffs. It is therefore inherently difficult to predict the size or scope of potential future losses arising from these matters. In our insurance and reinsurance operations, litigation and arbitration concerning the scope of coverage under insurance and reinsurance contracts,
and litigation and arbitration in which our subsidiaries defend or indemnify their insureds under insurance contracts, are generally considered in the establishment of our loss reserves. Separate and apart from the foregoing matters involving insurance and reinsurance coverage, AIG, our subsidiaries and their respective officers and directors are subject to a variety of additional types of legal proceedings brought by holders of AIG securities, customers, employees and others, alleging, among other things, breach of contractual or fiduciary duties, bad faith, indemnification and violations of federal and state statutes and regulations. With respect to these other categories of matters not arising out of claims
for insurance or reinsurance coverage, we establish reserves for loss contingencies when it is probable that a loss will be incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. In many instances, we are unable to determine whether a loss is probable or to reasonably estimate the amount of such a loss and, therefore, the potential future losses arising from legal proceedings may exceed the amount of liabilities that we have recorded in our financial statements covering these matters. While such potential future charges could be material, based on information currently known to management, management does not believe, other than as may be discussed below, that any such charges are likely to have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operation.
Additionally, from time to time, various regulatory and governmental agencies review the transactions and practices of AIG and our subsidiaries
in connection with industry-wide and other inquiries or examinations into, among other matters, the business practices of current and former operating insurance subsidiaries. Such investigations, inquiries or examinations could develop into administrative, civil or criminal proceedings or enforcement actions, in which remedies could include fines, penalties, restitution or alterations in our business practices, and could result in additional expenses, limitations on certain business activities and reputational damage.
Moriarty Litigation
Effective January 1, 2013, the California legislature enacted AB 1747 (the Act), which amended the California Insurance Code to mandate that life insurance policies issued and delivered in California contain
a 60-day grace period during which time the policies must remain in force after a premium payment is missed, and that life insurers provide both a 30-day minimum notification of lapse and annual notice of the right of policy owners to designate a secondary recipient for lapse and termination notices. Following guidance from the California Department of Insurance and certain industry trade groups, American General Life Insurance Company (AGL) interpreted the Act to be prospective in nature, applying only to policies issued and delivered on or after the Act’s January 1, 2013, effective date. On July 18, 2017, AGL was sued in a putative class action captioned Moriarty v. American General Life Insurance Company, No. 17-cv-1709 (S.D. Cal.), challenging AGL’s prospective application of the Act. Plaintiff’s complaint, which is similar to complaints filed against other insurers,
argues that policies issued and delivered prior to January 1, 2013, like the $i1 million policy issued to Plaintiff’s husband do not lapse—despite nonpayment of premiums—if the insurer has not complied with the Act’s terms. On August 30, 2021, the California Supreme Court issued an opinion in McHugh v. Protective Life Insurance, 12 Cal. 5th 213 (2021), ruling that the Act applies to all policies in force on January 1, 2013, regardless of when the policies were issued.
On February 7, 2022, Plaintiff filed motions for summary judgment and class certification; AGL opposed both motions and filed its own motion for partial summary judgment. On July 26, 2022, the District Court granted in part and denied in part AGL’s motion for partial summary judgment, and on September 7, 2022, the District Court denied Plaintiff's motion for summary judgment. In those 2022 summary judgment decisions, the District Court declined to adopt Plaintiff's theory that a failure to comply with the Act necessitates payment of
ITEM 1 | Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) | 15. Contingencies, Commitments and Guarantees
policy benefits or to make a pre-trial determination as to AGL’s liability. On September 27, 2022, the District Court denied Plaintiff’s motion for class certification without prejudice. The District Court
declined to certify Plaintiff's proposed class consisting of claims for monetary damages and equitable relief, but indicated that Plaintiff could seek the certification of a narrower class consisting only of claims for monetary damages. The District Court indicated, however, that it had "substantial concerns" as to whether individual issues such as actual damages and causation would predominate, precluding class certification. Subsequently, the case was reassigned to a new District Court judge, who requested additional briefing on certain issues addressed by the summary judgment decisions and heard additional oral argument on those issues on July 19, 2023.
On August 14, 2023, the District Court granted Plaintiff’s motion for summary judgment, adopting Plaintiff’s theory that failure to comply with the Act means the policy
did not lapse and as a result, AGL breached the terms of the policy by refusing to pay the death benefit. In the order granting the motion, the District Court declined to revisit the September 2022 denial of class certification; therefore, this matter became an individual case only.
At a status conference on August 23, 2023, the District Court decided that Plaintiff could file a motion regarding the propriety of revisiting class certification. Plaintiff filed such a motion on September 1, 2023, and AGL filed a provisional motion to certify the District Court’s August 14, 2023 summary judgment order for interlocutory appeal to the Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit on the same date.
On September
26, 2023, the District Court decided that good cause exists to allow Plaintiff to file a third motion for class certification; however, at the same time, the Court certified AGL’s petition for interlocutory appeal and stayed court proceedings pending the outcome of AGL’s appeal.
AGL is also defending other actions in California involving similar issues: Allen v. Protective Life Insurance Co., (pending in federal district court in the Eastern District) in which the individual plaintiff filed a motion on August 11, 2023 seeking leave to amend the complaint to add class-action allegations against AGL; and Chuck v. American General Life Insurance Co. (pending in California Superior Court for the County of Los Angeles), which was filed on September 6, 2023 as a putative class action. These cases are in the early stages, and
we expect their progress will be influenced by future developments in the McHugh and Moriarty cases referenced herein.
We have accrued our current estimate of probable loss with respect to these litigation matters.
Proceedings are ongoing against other insurers in other California cases that raise similar industry-wide issues, including the McHugh case. McHugh is on remand from the California Supreme Court and is set for trial in February 2024, There, the California Court of Appeal rendered an unpublished opinion on October 10, 2022 that declined to hold that failure to comply with the Act automatically necessitates payment of policy benefits.
OTHER COMMITMENTS
In the normal course of business, we enter into commitments to invest in limited
partnerships, private equity funds and hedge funds and to purchase and develop real estate in the U.S. and abroad. These commitments totaled $i6.1 billion and $i6.6 billion at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022,
respectively.
We have issued unconditional guarantees with respect to the prompt payment, when due, of all present and future payment obligations and liabilities of AIGFP and certain of its subsidiaries. We have also issued guarantees of all present and future payment obligations and liabilities of AIG Markets, Inc.
Due to the deconsolidation of AIGFP and its subsidiaries, as of September 30, 2023, a $i92 million
guarantee related to the obligations of AIGFP and certain of its subsidiaries was recognized, and is reported in Other liabilities.
Business and Asset Dispositions
We are subject to financial guarantees and indemnity arrangements in connection with the completed sales of businesses and assets. The various arrangements may be triggered by, among other things, declines in asset values, the occurrence of specified business contingencies, the realization of contingent liabilities, developments in litigation or breaches of representations, warranties or covenants provided by us. These arrangements are typically subject to various time limitations, defined by the contract or by operation of law, such as statutes
of limitation. In some cases, the maximum potential obligation is subject to contractual limitations, while in other cases such limitations are not specified or are not applicable.
ITEM 1 | Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
| 15. Contingencies, Commitments and Guarantees
We are unable to develop a reasonable estimate of the maximum potential payout under certain of these arrangements. Overall, we believe the likelihood that we will have to make any material payments related to completed sales under these arrangements is remote, and no material liabilities related to these arrangements have been recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Dividends
are payable on AIG common stock, par value $i2.50 per share (AIG Common Stock) only when, as and if declared by our Board of Directors in its discretion, from funds legally available for this purpose. In considering whether to pay a dividend on or purchase shares of AIG Common Stock, our Board of Directors considers a number of factors, including, but not limited to: the capital resources available to support our insurance operations and business strategies, AIG’s funding capacity and capital resources in comparison to internal benchmarks, expectations for capital generation, rating agency expectations for capital, regulatory
standards for capital and capital distributions, and such other factors as our Board of Directors may deem relevant. The payment of dividends is also subject to the terms of AIG’s outstanding Series A Preferred Stock, pursuant to which no dividends may be declared or paid on any AIG Common Stock unless the full dividends for the latest completed dividend period on all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock have been declared and paid or provided for.
For a discussion of restrictions on payments of dividends to AIG Parent by its subsidiaries, see Note 18 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2022 Annual Report.
Repurchase of AIG Common Stock
Shares
may be repurchased from time to time in the open market, private purchases, through forward, derivative, accelerated repurchase or automatic repurchase transactions or otherwise. Certain of our share repurchases have been and may from time to time be effected through the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act) Rule 10b5-1 repurchase plans. On August 1, 2023, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of $i7.5 billion of AIG Common Stock (inclusive of the approximately $i2.15 billion
of expected remaining authorization under the Board's prior share repurchase authorization).
The timing of any future repurchases will depend on market conditions, our business and strategic plans, financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and other factors. The repurchase of AIG Common Stock is also subject to the terms of AIG’s outstanding Series A Preferred Stock, pursuant to which AIG may not (other than in limited circumstances) purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire AIG Common Stock unless the full dividends for the latest completed dividend period on all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock have been declared and paid or provided for.
Pursuant to an Exchange Act Rule 10b5-1 repurchase plan, from October 1, 2023 to October 27, 2023, we repurchased approximately i3 million
shares of AIG Common Stock for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $i154 million.

Income Taxes
U.S. TAX LAW CHANGES
The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (H.R. 5376) includes a 15 percent corporate alternative minimum tax (CAMT) on adjusted financial statement income for corporations with average profits over $1 billion over a three-year period. Although the U.S. Treasury and Internal Revenue Service (IRS) issued interim CAMT guidance during 2023, many details and specifics of application of the CAMT remain subject to future guidance. We are subject to CAMT for 2023. Our estimated CAMT liability will continue to be refined based on future guidance.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
We file a consolidated U.S. federal income tax return with our eligible U.S. subsidiaries. Income earned by subsidiaries
operating outside the U.S. is taxed, and income tax expense is recorded, based on applicable U.S. and foreign laws.
Following the IPO of Corebridge on September 19, 2022, AIG’s remaining ownership in Corebridge decreased below i80 percent, resulting in tax deconsolidation of Corebridge parent and its subsidiaries from the AIG consolidated U.S. federal income tax group as well as certain state
and local jurisdictions where unitary returns are filed.
Subsequent to the tax deconsolidation from AIG, due to the application of relevant U.S. tax laws, American General Corporation and its directly owned life insurance subsidiaries (the AGC Group) will not be permitted to join in the filing of a consolidated U.S. federal income tax return with Corebridge parent and its non-life-insurance subsidiaries for a period of five years. Corebridge’s net operating losses and tax credit carryforwards that have not been utilized prior to tax deconsolidation from AIG will remain with the relevant Corebridge entities and will be available for utilization by the respective Corebridge U.S. federal income tax groups. The realizability of the deferred tax assets
related to such carryforwards is based on the positive and negative evidence applicable to each U.S. federal income tax group.
i
TAX ACCOUNTING POLICIES
We use an item-by-item approach to release the stranded or disproportionate income tax effects in AOCI related to our available-for-sale securities. Under this approach, a portion of the disproportionate tax effects is assigned to each individual security lot at the date the amount becomes lodged. When the individual securities are sold, mature, or are otherwise impaired on an other-than-temporary basis, the assigned portion of the disproportionate
tax effect is reclassified from AOCI to income (loss) from continuing operations.
We consider our foreign earnings with respect to certain operations in Canada, South Africa, Japan, Latin America, Bermuda as well as the European, Asia Pacific and Middle East regions to be indefinitely reinvested. These earnings relate to ongoing operations and have been reinvested in active business operations. A deferred tax liability has not been recorded for those foreign subsidiaries whose earnings are considered to be indefinitely reinvested. If recorded, such deferred tax liability would not be material to our consolidated financial condition. Deferred taxes, if necessary, have been provided on earnings of non-U.S. affiliates whose earnings are not indefinitely reinvested.
Global Intangible Low-Taxed
Income (GILTI) imposes U.S. taxes on the excess of a deemed return on tangible assets of certain foreign subsidiaries. Consistent with accounting guidance, we have made an accounting policy election to treat GILTI taxes as a period tax charge in the period the tax is incurred.
/
INTERIM TAX CALCULATION METHOD
We use the estimated annual effective tax rate method in computing our interim tax provision. Certain items, including those deemed to be unusual, infrequent or that cannot be reliably estimated, are excluded from the estimated annual
effective tax rate. In these cases, the actual tax expense or benefit is reported in the same period as the related item. Certain tax effects are also not reflected in the estimated annual effective tax rate, primarily certain changes in uncertain tax positions and realizability of deferred tax assets and are recorded in the period in which the change occurs.
ITEM 1 | Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) | 18. Income Taxes
INTERIM TAX EXPENSE (BENEFIT)
For the three months ended September 30, 2023, the effective tax rate on income from continuing operations was i23.0
percent. The effective tax rate on income from continuing operations differs from the statutory tax rate of i21 percent primarily due to tax charges associated with tax adjustments related to prior year returns, the effect of foreign operations, and state and local income taxes. These tax charges were partially offset by tax benefits related to tax implications of the announced sale of certain Corebridge and AIG subsidiaries, including
Laya, AIG Life and Validus Re, U.S. federal valuation allowance changes and tax exempt income. The effect of foreign operations is primarily related to income of our foreign operations taxed at statutory tax rates higher than i21 percent, other foreign taxes, and foreign income subject to U.S. taxation.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the effective tax rate on income from continuing operations was i16.4
percent. The effective tax rate on income from continuing operations differs from the statutory tax rate of i21 percent primarily due to tax benefits related to the potential resolution of an IRS audit matter, net of an increase in associated uncertain tax benefits, tax implications of the announced sale of certain Corebridge and AIG subsidiaries, including Laya, AIG Life and Validus Re, tax implications of the Corebridge secondary
offering, tax exempt income and excess tax benefits related to share-based compensation payments recorded through the income statement. These tax benefits were partially offset by tax charges associated with tax adjustments related to prior year returns, the effect of foreign operations, U.S. federal and foreign valuation allowance changes, and state and local income taxes. The effect of foreign operations is primarily related to income of our foreign operations taxed at statutory tax rates higher than i21 percent, other
foreign taxes, and foreign income subject to U.S. taxation.
For the three months ended September 30, 2022, the effective tax rate on income from continuing operations was i20.9 percent. While the effective tax rate on income from continuing operations does not differ from the statutory tax rate of i21
percent, we recognized tax benefits associated with tax exempt income and reclassifications from AOCI to income from continuing operations related to the disposal of available for sale securities, offset by tax charges associated with the effect of foreign operations, state and local income taxes, and non-deductible transfer pricing charges. The effect of foreign operations is primarily related to income of our foreign operations taxed at statutory tax rates higher than i21 percent, other foreign taxes, and foreign
income subject to U.S. taxation.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the effective tax rate on income from continuing operations was i20.8 percent. The effective tax rate on income from continuing operations differs from the statutory tax rate of i21
percent primarily due to tax benefits associated with tax exempt income, reclassifications from AOCI to income from continuing operations related to the disposal of available for sale securities, excess tax benefits related to share-based compensation payments recorded through the income statement and tax adjustments related to prior year returns. These tax benefits were partially offset by tax charges associated with the effect of foreign operations, state and local income taxes, and non-deductible transfer pricing charges. The effect of foreign operations is primarily related to income of our foreign operations taxed at statutory tax rates higher than i21
percent, other foreign taxes, and foreign income subject to U.S. taxation.
ASSESSMENT OF DEFERRED TAX ASSET VALUATION ALLOWANCE
The evaluation of the recoverability of our deferred tax asset and the need for a valuation allowance requires us to weigh all positive and negative evidence to reach a conclusion that it is more likely than not that all or some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. The weight given to the evidence is commensurate with the extent to which it can be objectively verified. The more negative evidence that exists, the more positive evidence is necessary and the more difficult it is to support a conclusion that a valuation allowance is not needed.
Recent events, including changes
in target interest rates by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, and significant market volatility, continue to impact actual and projected results of our business operations as well as our views on potential effectiveness of certain prudent and feasible tax planning strategies. In order to demonstrate the predictability and sufficiency of future taxable income necessary to support the realizability of the net operating losses and foreign tax credit carryforwards, we have considered forecasts of future income for each of our businesses, including assumptions about future macroeconomic and AIG-specific conditions and events, and any impact these conditions and events may have on our prudent and feasible tax planning strategies. We also subjected the forecasts to a variety of stresses of key assumptions and evaluated the effect on tax attribute utilization.
The carryforward period of our foreign tax credit carryforwards
runs through 2023. Carryforward periods for our net operating losses extend from 2028 forward. However, utilization of a portion of our net operating losses is limited under separate return limitation year rules.
To the extent that the valuation allowance is attributed to changes in forecast of current year taxable income, the impact is included in our estimated annualized effective tax rate. A valuation allowance related to changes in forecasts of income in future periods as well as other items not related to the current year is recorded discretely.
ITEM 1 | Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) | 18. Income Taxes
Although tax deconsolidation of Corebridge from the AIG consolidated U.S. federal income tax group resulted in the formation of new federal tax filing groups requiring separate deferred tax asset realizability assessments, there was no material change to the total deferred tax asset valuation allowance.
After factoring in multiple data points and assessing relative weight of all positive and negative evidence, we concluded that a valuation allowance of $i858 million
is necessary. Accordingly, as of September 30, 2023, the balance sheet reflects a valuation allowance of $i858 million, of which $i713 million relates to
AIG's U.S. federal consolidated income tax group and $i145 million relates to Corebridge. The valuation allowance recorded with respect to AIG's U.S. federal consolidated income tax group relates to a portion of tax attribute carryforwards that are no longer more-likely-than-not to be realized. No change in AIG's U.S. federal consolidated income tax group valuation allowance was recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The valuation allowance at Corebridge relates to a portion of both tax attribute carryforwards and certain
other deferred tax assets of the Corebridge non-life insurance group that are not more-likely-than-not to be realized. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, Corebridge recorded a $i57 million and $i6 million
decrease in valuation allowance, respectively, attributable to current year activity.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, recent changes in market conditions, including changes in interest rates, impacted the unrealized tax gains and losses in the available for sale securities portfolios of both our U.S. life insurance and non-life insurance companies, resulting in an increase to deferred tax assets related to net unrealized tax capital losses. The deferred tax assets relate to the unrealized tax capital losses for which the carryforward period has not yet begun, and as such, when assessing recoverability, we consider our ability and intent to hold the underlying securities to recovery. As of September 30, 2023, based on all available evidence, we concluded that a valuation allowance of $i2.4 billion
is necessary on a portion of the deferred tax assets related to unrealized tax capital losses that are not more-likely-than-not to be realized. Of the total valuation allowance, $i1.5 billion relates to the unrealized tax capital losses in the U.S. Life Insurance Companies' available for sale securities portfolio and $i905 million
relates to the unrealized tax capital losses in the non-life insurance companies' available for sale securities portfolio. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we established $i113 million of valuation allowance associated with the unrealized tax capital losses in the U.S. Life Insurance Companies’ available for sale securities portfolio. There was no change to the valuation allowance associated with the unrealized tax capital losses in the non-life insurance companies’ available for sale securities portfolio.
For the three months ended September 30, 2023, we recorded an increase in valuation allowance of $i177 million associated with the unrealized tax capital losses in the U.S. Life Insurance Companies’ available for sale securities portfolio and $i160 million
associated with the unrealized tax capital losses in the non-life insurance companies’ available for sale securities portfolio. The valuation allowance establishment was primarily allocated to other comprehensive income.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we recognized a net $i51 million increase in deferred tax asset valuation allowance associated with certain foreign jurisdictions.
TAX
EXAMINATIONS AND LITIGATION
We are currently under examination by the IRS for the tax years 2011 through 2019.
In September 2020, we received the IRS Revenue Agent Report containing agreed and disagreed issues for the audit of tax years 2007-2010. In October 2020, we filed a protest of the disagreed issues with the IRS Independent Office of Appeals (IRS Appeals). In March 2021, the IRS audit team issued their rebuttal to the protest of disagreed issues to IRS Appeals. We had an IRS Appeals conference in October 2021 and are continuing to engage in the appeals process.
ACCOUNTING FOR UNCERTAINTY IN INCOME TAXES
At September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, our unrecognized tax benefits, excluding
interest and penalties, were $i1.4 billion and $i1.2 billion, respectively. At September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the amounts of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized,
would favorably affect the effective tax rate were $i1.4 billion and $i1.2 billion, respectively. Unrecognized tax benefits that
would not affect the effective tax rate generally relate to such factors as the timing, rather than the permissibility of the deduction.
Interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits are recognized in income tax expense. At September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had accrued liabilities of $i58 million and $i63 million,
respectively, for the payment of interest (net of the federal benefit) and penalties. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, we accrued benefit of $i5 million and $i8 million,
respectively, for the payment of interest and penalties.
Although it is reasonably possible that a change in the balance of unrecognized tax benefits may occur within the next 12 months, based on the information currently available, we do not expect any change to be material to our consolidated financial condition.

Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this report, or in
the case of any document incorporated by reference, the date of that document. We are not under any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by applicable law. Additional information as to factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in any forward-looking statements is disclosed from time to time in other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
Throughout this MD&A, we present our financial condition and results of operations in the way we believe will be most meaningful and
representative of our business results. Some of the measurements we use are “non-GAAP financial measures” under SEC rules and regulations. GAAP is the acronym for “generally accepted accounting principles” in the United States. The non-GAAP financial measures we present may not be comparable to similarly-named measures reported by other companies.
We use the following operating performance measures because we believe they enhance the understanding of the underlying profitability of continuing operations and trends of our business segments. We believe they also allow for more meaningful comparisons with our insurance competitors. When we use these measures, reconciliations to the most comparable GAAP measure are provided on a consolidated basis in the Consolidated Results of Operations section of this MD&A.
Book value per common share, excluding accumulated other
comprehensive income (loss) (AOCI) adjusted for the cumulative unrealized gains and losses related to Fortitude Re funds withheld assets and deferred tax assets (DTA) (Adjusted book value per common share) is used to show the amount of our net worth on a per-common share basis after eliminating items that can fluctuate significantly from period to period including changes in fair value (1) of AIG’s available for sale securities portfolio, (2) of market risk benefits attributable to our own credit risk and (3) due to discount rates used to measure traditional and limited payment long-duration insurance contracts, foreign currency translation adjustments and U.S. tax attribute deferred tax assets. This measure also eliminates the asymmetrical impact resulting from changes in fair value of our available for sale securities portfolio wherein there is largely no
offsetting impact for certain related insurance liabilities. In addition, we adjust for the cumulative unrealized gains and losses related to Fortitude Re funds withheld assets held by AIG in support of Fortitude Re’s reinsurance obligations to AIG post deconsolidation of Fortitude Re (Fortitude Re funds withheld assets) since these fair value movements are economically transferred to Fortitude Re. We exclude deferred tax assets representing U.S. tax attributes related to net operating loss carryforwards and foreign tax credits as they have not yet been utilized. Amounts for interim periods are estimates based on projections of full-year attribute utilization. As net operating loss carryforwards and foreign tax credits are utilized, the portion of the DTA utilized is included in these book value per common share metrics. Adjusted book value per common share is derived by dividing total AIG common shareholders’ equity, excluding AOCI adjusted for the cumulative unrealized
gains and losses related to Fortitude Re funds withheld assets, and DTA (Adjusted common shareholders’ equity), by total common shares outstanding.
Return on common equity – Adjusted after-tax income excluding AOCI adjusted for the cumulative unrealized gains and losses related to Fortitude Re funds withheld assets and DTA (Adjusted return on common equity) is used to show the rate of return on common shareholders’ equity. We believe this measure is useful to investors because it eliminates items that can fluctuate significantly from period to period, including changes in fair value (1) of AIG’s available for sale securities portfolio, (2) of market risk benefits attributable to our own credit risk and (3) due to discount rates used to measure traditional and limited payment long-duration insurance contracts, foreign
currency translation adjustments and U.S. tax attribute deferred tax assets. This measure also eliminates the asymmetrical impact resulting from changes in fair value of our available for sale securities portfolio wherein there is largely no offsetting impact for certain related insurance liabilities. In addition, we adjust for the cumulative unrealized gains and losses related to Fortitude Re funds withheld assets since these fair value movements are economically transferred to Fortitude Re. We exclude deferred tax assets representing U.S. tax attributes related to net operating loss carryforwards and foreign tax credits as they have not yet been utilized. Amounts for interim periods are estimates based on projections of full-year attribute utilization. As net operating loss carryforwards and foreign tax credits are utilized, the portion of the DTA utilized is included in Adjusted return on common equity. Adjusted return on common equity is derived by dividing actual
or annualized adjusted after-tax income attributable to AIG common shareholders by average Adjusted common shareholders’ equity.
Adjusted after-tax income attributable to AIG common shareholders is derived by excluding the tax effected adjusted pre-tax income (APTI) adjustments described below, dividends on preferred stock, noncontrolling interest on net realized gains (losses), other non-operating expenses and the following tax items from net income attributable to AIG:
•deferred income tax valuation allowance releases and charges;
•changes in uncertain tax positions and other tax items related to legacy matters having no relevance to our current businesses or operating performance; and
•net tax
charge related to the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.
Adjusted revenues exclude Net realized gains (losses), income from non-operating litigation settlements (included in Other income for GAAP purposes), changes in fair value of securities used to hedge guaranteed living benefits (included in Net investment income for GAAP purposes) and income from elimination of the international reporting lag. Adjusted revenues is a GAAP measure for our segments.
Adjusted pre-tax income is derived by excluding the items set forth below from income from continuing operations before income tax. This definition is consistent across our segments. These items generally fall into one or more of the following broad categories: legacy matters having no relevance to our current businesses or operating performance; adjustments to enhance transparency to the underlying economics of transactions; and measures that we believe to be common to the industry. APTI is a GAAP measure for our segments. Excluded items include the following:
•changes in fair value of securities used
to hedge guaranteed living benefits;
•net change in market risk benefits (MRBs);
•changes in benefit reserves related to net realized gains and losses;
•changes in the fair value of equity securities;
•net investment income on Fortitude Re funds withheld assets;
•following deconsolidation of Fortitude Re, net realized gains and losses on Fortitude Re funds withheld assets;
•loss (gain) on extinguishment of debt;
•all net realized gains and losses except earned income (periodic settlements and
changes in settlement accruals) on derivative instruments used for non-qualifying (economic) hedging or for asset replication. Earned income on such economic hedges is reclassified from net realized gains and losses to specific APTI line items based on the economic risk being hedged (e.g. net investment income and interest credited to policyholder account balances);
•income or loss from discontinued operations;
•net loss reserve discount benefit (charge);
•pension expense related to lump sum payments to former employees;
•net gain or loss on divestitures and other;
•non-operating litigation
reserves and settlements;
•restructuring and other costs related to initiatives designed to reduce operating expenses, improve efficiency and simplify our organization;
•the portion of favorable or unfavorable prior year reserve development for which we have ceded the risk under retroactive reinsurance agreements and related changes in amortization of the deferred gain;
•integration and transaction costs associated with acquiring or divesting businesses;
•losses from the impairment of goodwill;
•non-recurring costs associated with the implementation of non-ordinary course legal or regulatory changes or changes to accounting principles;
and
•income from elimination of the international reporting lag.
•General Insurance
–Ratios: We, along with most property and casualty insurance companies, use the loss ratio, the expense ratio and the combined ratio as measures of underwriting performance. These ratios are relative measurements that describe, for every $100 of net premiums earned, the amount of losses and loss adjustment expenses (which for General Insurance excludes net loss reserve discount), and the amount of other underwriting expenses that would be incurred. A combined ratio of less than 100 indicates underwriting income and a combined ratio of over 100 indicates an underwriting loss. Our ratios are calculated using the relevant segment information calculated
under GAAP, and thus may not be comparable to similar ratios calculated for regulatory reporting purposes. The underwriting environment varies across countries and products, as does the degree of litigation activity, all of which affect such ratios. In addition, investment returns, local taxes, cost of capital, regulation, product type and competition can have an effect on pricing and consequently on profitability as reflected in underwriting income and associated ratios.
–Accident year loss and accident year combined ratios, as adjusted (Accident year loss ratio, ex-CAT and Accident year combined ratio, ex-CAT): both the accident year loss and accident year combined ratios, as adjusted, exclude catastrophe losses and related reinstatement premiums, prior year development, net of premium adjustments, and the impact of reserve discounting. Natural catastrophe losses are generally
weather or seismic events, in each case, having a net impact on AIG in excess of $10 million and man-made catastrophe losses, such as terrorism and civil disorders that exceed the $10 million threshold. We believe that as adjusted ratios are meaningful measures of our underwriting results on an ongoing basis as they exclude catastrophes and the impact of reserve discounting which are outside of management’s control. We also exclude prior year development to provide transparency related to current accident year results.
•Life and Retirement
–Premiums and deposits: includes direct and assumed amounts received and earned on traditional life insurance policies, group benefit policies and life-contingent payout annuities, as well as deposits received on universal life, investment-type annuity contracts,
Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) funding agreements and mutual funds. We believe the measure of premiums and deposits is useful in understanding customer demand for our products, evolving product trends and our sales performance period over period.
Results from discontinued operations are excluded from all of these measures.
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires the application of accounting policies that often involve a significant degree of judgment.
The accounting policies that we believe are most dependent on the application of estimates and assumptions, which are critical accounting estimates,
are related to the determination of:
•loss reserves;
•valuation of future policy benefit liabilities and recognition of measurement gains and losses;
•valuation of MRBs related to guaranteed benefit features of variable annuity, fixed annuity and fixed index annuity products;
•valuation of embedded derivative liabilities for fixed index annuity and index universal life products;
•reinsurance assets, including the allowance for credit losses and disputes;
•goodwill impairment;
•allowance
for credit losses on certain investments, primarily on loans and available for sale fixed maturity securities;
•fair value measurements of certain financial assets and financial liabilities; and
•income taxes, in particular the recoverability of our deferred tax asset and establishment of provisions for uncertain tax positions.
There were no material changes to our critical accounting estimates with the exception of the items listed below which were impacted by the adoption of the targeted improvements to the accounting for long-duration contracts (the standard or LDTI). For additional information on our
critical accounting estimates not impacted by LDTI, see Part II, Item 7. MD&A – Critical Accounting Estimates in the 2022 Annual Report.
These accounting estimates require the use of assumptions about matters, some of which are highly uncertain at the time of estimation. To the extent actual experience differs from the assumptions used, our consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash flows could be materially affected.
FUTURE POLICY BENEFITS FOR LIFE AND ACCIDENT AND HEALTH INSURANCE CONTRACTS
Long-duration
traditional products primarily include whole life insurance, term life insurance, and certain payout annuities for which the payment period is life-contingent, which include certain of our single premium immediate annuities including pension risk transfer (PRT) business and structured settlements. In addition, these products also include accident and health, and long-term care (LTC) insurance. The LTC block is in run-off and has been fully reinsured with Fortitude Re.
Updating net premiums ratios (NPRs) – Remeasurement gains and losses: Generally, future policy benefits are payable over an extended period of time and related liabilities are calculated as the present value of future benefits less the present value of future net premiums (portion of the gross premium required to provide for all benefits and expenses). The assumptions used to calculate the benefit liabilities are
initially set when a policy is issued and an NPR is established. Benefit liabilities are subsequently remeasured periodically to reflect changes in policy assumptions and actual versus expected experience and are recognized as remeasurement gains and losses, a component of policyholder benefits. The assumptions include mortality, morbidity and persistency. These assumptions are typically consistent with pricing inputs at policy issuance. Liabilities are accreted using an upper-medium grade (low credit risk) fixed income instrument yield that is locked-in at policy issuance. The liabilities are remeasured at the balance sheet date using a current upper-medium grade yield with changes in the liabilities reported in Other comprehensive income (loss) (OCI).
For universal life policies with secondary guarantees: We recognize certain liabilities in addition to policyholder account balances. For universal
life policies with secondary guarantees, as well as other universal life policies for which profits followed by losses are expected at contract inception, a liability is recognized based on a benefit ratio of (a) the present value of total expected payments, in excess of the account value, over the life of the contract, divided by (b) the present value of total expected assessments over the life of the contract. Universal life account balances are reported in Policyholder contract deposits, while these additional liabilities related to universal life products are reported within Future policy benefits in the Condensed
Consolidated Balance Sheets. These additional liabilities are also adjusted to reflect the effect of unrealized gains or losses on fixed maturity securities available for sale on accumulated assessments, with related changes recognized through Other comprehensive income (loss). The policyholder behavior assumptions for these liabilities include mortality, lapses and premium persistency. The capital market assumptions used for the liability for universal life secondary guarantees include discount rates and net earned rates.
Annuity products offered by our Individual Retirement and Group Retirement segments offer guaranteed benefit features (GMxBs). These guaranteed features include guaranteed minimum death benefits (GMDB) that are payable in the event of death and guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefits (GMWB) that guarantee lifetime withdrawals regardless of fixed account and separate account value performance. For additional information on these features, see Note 13 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
GMxBs are recognized as MRBs and can be assets or liabilities, and represent the expected
value of benefits in excess of the projected account value, with changes in fair value of MRBs recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) and the portion of the fair value change attributable to our own credit risk recognized in OCI.
Our exposure to the guaranteed amounts is equal to the amount by which the contract holder’s account balance is below the amount provided by the guaranteed feature. A deferred annuity contract may include more than one type of GMxB; for example, it may have both a GMDB and a GMWB. However, a policyholder can generally only receive payout from one guaranteed feature on a contract containing a death benefit
and a living benefit, i.e., the features are generally mutually exclusive (except a surviving spouse who has a rider to potentially collect both a GMDB upon their spouse’s death and a GMWB during his or her lifetime). A policyholder cannot purchase more than one living benefit on one contract. Declines in the equity markets, increased volatility and a low interest rate environment generally increase our exposure to potential benefits under the guaranteed features, leading to an increase in the liabilities for those benefits.
For additional information on market risk management related to these product features, see Part II, Item 7. MD&A – Enterprise Risk Management – Insurance Risks – Life and Retirement Companies’ Key Risks – Variable Annuity, Fixed Index Annuity and Index Universal Life Risk Management and Hedging Programs in the
2022 Annual Report.
The valuation methodology and assumptions used to measure our GMxBs is presented in the following table:
Guaranteed Benefit Feature
Reserving Methodology &
Key Assumptions
Fair Value Methodology
Guaranteed minimum benefits on annuity products are market risk benefits that are required to be measured at fair value with changes in the fair value of the liabilities recorded in changes in the fair value of market risk benefits, except
for changes related to the Company's own credit risk which are recorded in AOCI. The fair value of these benefits is based on assumptions that a market participant would use in valuing these MRBs.
The Company applies a non-option-based approach for variable products, and an option-based approach for fixed index and fixed products. Under the non-option-based approach, a portion of actual fees (i.e., attributed fees) is determined such that the present value of expected benefits less attributed fees is zero at issue. This calculated ratio is locked in and utilized in each policy valuation going forward and results in an MRB value of zero at policy issue. Under the option-based approach, the MRB value at issue represents the present value of expected benefits after account
value exhaustion. There is no calculated attributed fee ratio under this approach; as such, the calculated MRB liability at inception requires an equal and offsetting adjustment to the underlying host contract. Consistent with the non-option-based approach, this results in no gains or losses recognized upon policy issuance.
The fair value of the market risk benefits, which are Level 3 assets and liabilities, is based on a risk-neutral framework and incorporates actuarial and capital market assumptions related to projected cash flows over the expected lives of the contracts.
For additional information on how we value for MRBs, see Note 13 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, and for information
on fair value measurement of these MRBs, including how we incorporate our own non-performance risk, see Note 5 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Key
Assumptions
Key assumptions include:
•interest rates;
•equity market returns;
•market volatility;
•credit spreads;
•equity
/ interest rate correlation;
•policyholder behavior, including mortality, lapses, withdrawals and benefit utilization. Estimates of future policyholder behavior are subject to judgment and based primarily on our historical experience; and
•in applying asset growth assumptions for the valuation of MRBs, we use market-consistent assumptions calibrated to observable interest rate and equity option prices.
For the fixed index annuity GMxB liability, policyholder funds are projected assuming growth equal to current option values for the current crediting period followed by option budgets for all subsequent crediting periods. Policyholder fund growth projected assuming credited rates are expected to be maintained at a target pricing spread, subject to guaranteed minimums.
VALUATION OF EMBEDDED DERIVATIVES FOR FIXED INDEX ANNUITY AND INDEX UNIVERSAL LIFE PRODUCTS
Fixed index annuity and life products provide growth potential based in part on the performance of market indices. Certain fixed index annuity products offer optional guaranteed benefit features similar to those offered on variable
annuity products. Policyholders may elect to rebalance among the various accounts within the product at specified renewal dates. At the end of each index term, we generally have the opportunity to re-price the index component by establishing different participation rates or caps on index credited rates. The index crediting feature of these products results in the recognition of an embedded derivative that is required to be bifurcated from the host contract and carried at fair value with changes in the fair value of the liabilities recorded in Net realized gains (losses). Option pricing models are used to estimate fair value, taking into account assumptions for future index growth rates, volatility of the index, future interest rates, and our ability to adjust the participation rate and the cap on index credited rates in light of market conditions and policyholder behavior assumptions.
For
additional information on market risk management related to these product features, see Part II, Item 7. MD&A – Enterprise Risk Management – Insurance Risks – Life and Retirement Companies’ Key Risks – Variable Annuity, Fixed Index Annuity and Index Universal Life Risk Management and Hedging Programs in the 2022 Annual Report.
The following table summarizes the sensitivity of changes in certain assumptions for MRBs, liability for Future policyholder benefits, net of reinsurance and embedded derivatives related to index-linked interest credited features, measured as the related hypothetical impact for the September 30, 2023 balances and the resulting hypothetical impact on pre-tax income and OCI, before hedging:

The sensitivities of 20 percent and one percent are included for illustrative purposes only and do not reflect the changes in net investment spreads, equity return, volatility, interest rate, mortality or lapse used by AIG in its fair value analyses to value other applicable liabilities. Changes different from those illustrated may occur in any period and by different products.
The analysis of MRBs and embedded derivatives is a dynamic process that considers all relevant factors and assumptions described above. We estimate each of the above factors individually, without the effect of any correlation among the key assumptions. An assessment of sensitivity associated
with changes in any single assumption would not necessarily be an indicator of future results. The effects on pre-tax income in the sensitivity analysis table above do not reflect the related effects from our economic hedging program, which utilizes derivative and other financial instruments and is designed so that changes in value of those instruments move in the opposite direction of changes in the guaranteed benefit MRBs and embedded derivative liabilities.

This
overview of the MD&A highlights selected information and may not contain all of the information that is important to current or potential investors in our securities. You should read this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, together with the 2022 Annual Report, in their entirety for a more detailed description of events, trends, uncertainties, risks and critical accounting estimates affecting us.
Adoption of Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Long-Duration Contracts
In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued an accounting standard update with the objective of making targeted improvements to the existing recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure requirements for long-duration contracts
issued by an insurance entity.
The Company adopted the standard using the modified retrospective transition method relating to liabilities for traditional and limited payment contracts and deferred policy acquisition costs associated therewith, while the Company adopted the standard in relation to MRBs on a retrospective basis.
Based upon this transition method, as of the January 1, 2021 transition date (Transition Date), the impact of the adoption of the standard was a net decrease to beginning AOCI of $2.2 billion and a net increase to beginning Retained earnings of $933 million.
The net increase in Retained earnings resulted from:
•The reclassification of the cumulative effect of non-performance adjustments related to our products in Individual Retirement and Group Retirement operating segments that are currently measured at fair value (e.g., living benefit guarantees associated with variable annuities),
Partially offset by:
•A reduction from the difference between the fair value and carrying value of benefits
not previously measured at fair value (e.g., death benefit guarantees associated with variable annuities).
The net decrease in AOCI resulted from:
•The reclassification of the cumulative effect of non-performance adjustments discussed above,
•Changes to the discount rate which will most significantly impact our Life Insurance and Institutional Markets segments,
Partially offset by:
•The removal of Deferred policy acquisition costs, Unearned revenue reserves, Sales inducement assets and certain future policyholder benefit balances recorded in AOCI related to changes in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments.
AIG reports the results of its businesses through three segments – General Insurance, Life and Retirement and Other Operations. General Insurance consists of two operating segments – North America and International. Life and Retirement
consists of four operating segments – Individual Retirement, Group Retirement, Life Insurance and Institutional Markets. Other Operations is primarily comprised of corporate, our institutional asset management business and consolidation and eliminations.
For additional information on our business segments, see Note 3 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, and for information regarding the separation of Life and Retirement, bankruptcy filing of AIG Financial Products Corp. and the sale of Validus Re, Crop Risk Services, Inc. (CRS), AIG Life Limited (AIG Life) and Laya Healthcare Limited (Laya), see Note 1 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Other
Operations
Other Operationsprimarily consists of income from assets held by AIG Parent and other corporate subsidiaries, deferred tax assets related to tax attributes, corporate expenses and intercompany eliminations, our institutional asset management business and results of our consolidated investment entities, General Insurance portfolios in run-off as well as the historical results of our legacy insurance lines ceded to Fortitude Re.
Our business is affected by regulatory, industry and economic factors such as interest rates, currency exchange rates, credit and equity market conditions, catastrophic claims events, regulation, tax policy, competition, and general economic, market
and political conditions. We continued to operate under challenging market conditions in the first nine months of 2023, characterized by factors such as the impact of COVID-19 and the related governmental and societal responses, rising interest rates, inflationary pressures, an uneven global economic recovery and global trade tensions. Responses by central banks and monetary authorities with respect to inflation, growth concerns and other macroeconomic factors have also affected global exchange rates and volatility.
Regulatory Environment
Our operations around the world are subject to regulation by many different types of regulatory authorities, including insurance, securities, derivatives, investment advisory and thrift regulators in the United States and abroad. The insurance and financial services industries are generally subject to close regulatory scrutiny and supervision.
Our
insurance subsidiaries are subject to regulation and supervision by the states and jurisdictions in which they do business. We expect that the domestic and international regulations applicable to us and our regulated entities will continue to evolve for the foreseeable future.
For information regarding our regulation and supervision by different regulatory authorities in the United States and abroad, see Part I, Item 1. Business – Regulation and Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors – Regulation in the 2022 Annual Report.
Russia/Ukraine Conflict
The Russia/Ukraine conflict began in February 2022. The conflict has and may continue to have a significant impact on the global macroeconomic and geopolitical environments, including increased volatility in capital
and commodity markets, rapid changes to regulatory conditions around the globe including the use of sanctions, operational challenges for multinational corporations, inflationary pressures and an increased risk of cybersecurity incidents.
The conflict is evolving and has the potential to adversely affect our business and results of operations from an investment, underwriting and operational perspective. While we believe we have taken appropriate actions to minimize related risk, we continue to monitor potential exposure and operational impacts, as well as any actual and potential claims activity. The ultimate impact will depend on future developments that are uncertain and cannot be predicted, including scope, severity and duration, the governmental, legislative and regulatory actions taken (including the application of sanctions), and court decisions, if any, rendered in response to those actions.
Impact
of Changes in the Interest Rate Environment and Equity Markets
Certain key U.S. benchmark rates continued to rise during the first nine months of 2023 as markets reacted to heightened inflation measures, geopolitical risk, and the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System implementing multiple increases to short term interest rates. The yield pick of new investments over sales, maturities and paydowns and redemptions, excluding Fortitude Re, averaged 202 basis points during the first nine months of 2023. This combined with resetting of coupon rates on floating rate securities and loans has steadily improved the overall portfolio yields. However, the key benchmark rates remain highly volatile. We actively manage our exposure to the interest rate environment through portfolio construction and asset-liability management, including spread management strategies for our investment-oriented products and economic hedging of
interest rate risk from guarantee features in our variable and fixed index annuities, but we may not be able to fully mitigate our interest rate risk by matching exposure of our assets relative to our liabilities.
Equity Markets
Our financial results are impacted by the performance of equity markets, which impacts the performance of our alternative investment portfolio, fee income and net amount at risk. For instance, in our variable annuity separate accounts, mutual fund assets and brokerage and advisory assets, we generally earn fee income based on the account value, which fluctuates with the equity markets as a significant amount of these assets are invested in equity funds. The impact of equity market returns, both increases and decreases, is reflected in
our results due to the impact on the account value and the fair values of equity-exposed securities in our Life and Retirement investment portfolio.
In Life and Retirement, hedging costs could also be significantly impacted by changes in the level of equity markets as rebalancing and option costs are tied to the equity market volatility. These hedging costs are partially offset by our rider fees that are tied to the level of the Chicago Board Options Exchange Volatility Index. As rebalancing and option costs increase or decrease, the rider fees will increase or decrease partially offsetting the hedging costs incurred.
Market and other economic factors may result in increased credit impairments, downgrades and losses across single or numerous asset classes due to lower collateral values or deteriorating cash flow and profitability by borrowers could lead to higher defaults on our investment portfolio, especially in geographic, industry or investment sectors where we have higher concentrations of exposure, such as real estate related borrowings. These factors can also cause widening of credit spreads which could reduce investment asset valuations,
decrease fee income and increase statutory capital requirements, as well as reduce the availability of investments that are attractive from a risk-adjusted perspective.
Alternative investments include private equity funds which are generally reported on a one-quarter lag. Accordingly, changes in valuations driven by equity market conditions during the third quarter of 2023 may impact the private equity investments in the alternative investments portfolio in the fourth quarter of 2023.
Annuity Sales and Surrenders
The rising rate environment and our partnership with Blackstone Inc. and its investment advisory affiliates (Blackstone) have provided a strong tailwind for fixed and fixed index annuity sales, however, higher interest rates have also resulted in an increase in surrenders. Rising interest rates could continue to create the potential
for increased sales, but could also drive higher surrenders relative to what we have already experienced. Fixed annuities have surrender charge periods, generally in the three-to-seven year range. Fixed index annuities have surrender charge periods, generally in the five-to-ten year range, and within our Group Retirement segment, certain of our fixed investment options are subject to other withdrawal restrictions, which may help mitigate increased early surrenders in a rising rate environment. In addition, older contracts that have higher minimum interest rates and continue to be attractive to contract holders have driven better than expected persistency in fixed annuities, although the reserves for such contracts
have continued to decrease over time in amount and as a percentage of the total annuity portfolio. We closely monitor surrenders of fixed annuities as contracts with lower minimum interest rates come out of the surrender charge period.
Reinvestment and Spread Management
We actively monitor fixed income markets, including the level of interest rates, credit spreads and the shape of the yield curve. We also frequently review our interest rate assumptions and actively manage the crediting rates used for new and in-force business. Business strategies continue to evolve and we attempt to maintain profitability of the overall business in light of the interest rate environment. A rising interest rate environment results in improved yields on new investments and improves margins for our Life and Retirement
business while also making certain products, such as fixed annuities, more attractive to potential customers. However, the rising rate environment has resulted in lower values on general and separate account assets, mutual fund assets and brokerage and advisory assets that hold investments in fixed income assets.
For additional information on our investment and asset-liability management strategies, see Investments.
For investment-oriented products, including universal life insurance, and variable, fixed and fixed index annuities, in our Individual Retirement, Group Retirement, Life Insurance and Institutional Markets businesses, our spread management strategies include disciplined pricing and product design for new business, modifying or limiting the sale of products that do not achieve targeted spreads, using asset-liability management to match assets to liabilities to the extent
practicable, and actively managing crediting rates to help mitigate some of the pressure on investment spreads. Renewal crediting rate management is guided by specific contract provisions designed to allow crediting rates to be reset at pre-established intervals and subject to minimum crediting rate guarantees. We expect to continue to adjust crediting rates on in-force business, as appropriate, to be responsive to changing rate environments. As interest rates rise, we may need to raise crediting rates on in-force business for competitive and other reasons, potentially offsetting a portion of the additional investment income resulting from investing in a higher interest rate environment.
Of the aggregate fixed account values of our Individual Retirement and Group Retirement annuity products, 57 percent were crediting
at the contractual minimum guaranteed interest rate as of September 30, 2023. The percentage of fixed account values of our annuity products that are currently crediting at rates above one percent were 52 percent and 55 percent as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. In the universal life products in our Life Insurance business, 59 percent and 62 percent of the account values were crediting at the contractual minimum guaranteed interest rate as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. These businesses continue to focus on pricing discipline and strategies to manage the minimum guaranteed interest crediting rates offered on new sales in the context of regulatory requirements and competitive
positioning.
Our
net investment income is significantly impacted by market interest rates as well as the deployment of asset allocation strategies to manage duration, enhance yield and manage interest rate risk. As interest rates increase, so too does our ability to reinvest future cash inflows from premiums, as well as sales and maturities of existing investments, at more favorable rates. For additional information on our investment and asset-liability management strategies, see Investments.
While the impact of rising interest rates on our General Insurance segment increases the benefit of investment income, the current and medium-term inflationary environment may also translate into higher loss cost trends. We monitor these trends closely, particularly loss cost trend uncertainty, to ensure that not only our pricing, but also our loss reserving assumptions are proactive to, and considerate of, current and future
economic conditions.
For our General Insurance segment loss reserves, rising interest rates may favorably impact the statutory net loss reserve discount for workers’ compensation and its associated amortization.
Impact of Currency Volatility
Currency volatility remains acute. Strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the Euro, British pound and the Japanese yen (the Major Currencies) impacts income for our businesses with substantial international operations. In particular, growth trends in net premiums written reported in U.S. dollars can differ significantly from those measured in original currencies. The net effect on underwriting results, however, is significantly mitigated, as both revenues and expenses are similarly affected.
These currencies may continue to fluctuate, especially as a
result of central bank responses to inflation, concerns regarding future economic growth and other macroeconomic factors, and such fluctuations will affect net premiums written growth trends reported in U.S. dollars, as well as financial statement line item comparability.
General Insurance businesses are transacted in most major foreign currencies. The following table presents the average of the quarterly weighted average exchange rates of the Major Currencies, which have the most significant impact on our businesses:

Net income attributable to AIG common shareholders
Net income (loss) attributable to AIG common shareholders decreased $721 million due to the following, on a pre-tax basis:
•a decrease in Net realized gains excluding Fortitude Re funds withheld assets and embedded derivative of $730 million, driven by a $572 million decrease in derivative and hedge activity and gains on variable annuity embedded derivatives, net of hedging, higher losses on sales of securities of $90 million and lower gains on sales of alternative investments and real estate of $72 million, partially offset by foreign exchange gains of $77 million;
•a decrease in Net realized gains on Fortitude Re funds withheld embedded derivative of $620 million driven by interest rate movements and Net realized losses
on Fortitude Re funds withheld assets of $227 million in the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to net realized losses of $86 million in the same period in 2022; and
•an increase in income attributable to noncontrolling interest of $381 million primarily driven by lower ownership in Corebridge following the Corebridge secondary offering in June 2023.
The decrease in Net income (loss) attributable to AIG common shareholders was partially offset by the following, on a pre-tax basis:
•an increase in Net investment income of $888 million primarily driven by higher available for sale fixed maturity sales of $512 million, an increase in the fair value of fixed maturity securities where we elected the fair value option of $202 million
as a result of the higher interest rate environment and an increase in interest income on mortgages and other loans of $124 million; and
•an increase in underwriting income in General Insurance of $443 million, reflecting net favorable prior year reserve development, lower catastrophe losses and premium growth with improvement in the accident year loss ratio, as adjusted, primarily driven by changes in business mix along with continued positive rate change, focused risk selection and improved terms and conditions partially offset by higher expense ratio.
Net income (loss) attributable to AIG common shareholders decreased $6.1 billion due to the following, on
a pre-tax basis:
•a decrease in Net realized gains on Fortitude Re funds withheld embedded derivative of $7.7 billion driven by interest rate movement and Net realized losses on Fortitude Re funds withheld assets of $396 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to net realized losses of $312 million in the same period in 2022; and
•a decrease in Net realized gains excluding Fortitude Re funds withheld assets and embedded derivative of $2.1 billion, driven by a $2.3 billion decrease in derivative and hedge activity and gains on variable annuity embedded derivatives, net of hedging, higher losses on sales of securities of $175 million and lower gains on sales of alternative investments and real estate of $87 million, partially offset by foreign exchange gains of $644
million.
The decrease in Net income (loss) attributable to AIG common shareholders was partially offset by the following, on a pre-tax basis:
•an increase in Net investment income of $2.2 billion primarily driven by higher available for sale fixed maturity sales of $1.4 billion and an increase in the fair value of fixed maturity securities where we elected the fair value option of $1.0 billion as a result of the higher interest rate environment and an increase in interest income on mortgages and other loans of $423 million, partially offset by lower returns on our alternative investments of $549 million;
•an increase in underwriting income in General Insurance of $294 million, reflecting net favorable prior year reserve development, lower catastrophe losses and premium growth with improvement
in the accident year loss ratio, as adjusted, primarily driven by changes in business mix along with continued positive rate change, focused risk selection and improved terms and conditions partially offset by higher expense ratio; and
•a decrease in income attributable to noncontrolling interest of $250 million primarily driven by the decrease in the noncontrolling interest on Corebridge as a result of a decline in net income at Corebridge compared to 2022, partially offset by higher income attributable to noncontrolling interest as a result of lower ownership by AIG of Corebridge common stock.
The $2.0 billion decrease in income tax expense was primarily attributable to lower income from continuing operations.
For the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the effective tax rate on income (loss) from continuing operations was 23.0 percent and 20.9 percent, respectively. For the nine months
ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the effective tax rate on income (loss) from continuing operations was 16.4 percent and 20.8 percent, respectively.

ITEM 2 | Business Segment Operations | General Insurance

ITEM 2 | Business Segment Operations | General Insurance
BUSINESS STRATEGY
Profitable Growth: Build on our high-quality portfolio by focusing on targeted growth through continued underwriting
discipline, improved retentions and new business development. Deploy capital efficiently to act opportunistically and achieve growth in profitable lines, geographies and customer segments, while taking a disciplined underwriting approach to exposure management, terms and conditions and rate change to achieve our risk/return hurdles. Continue to be open to inorganic growth opportunities in profitable markets and segments to expand our capabilities and footprint.
Reinsurance Optimization: Strategically partner with reinsurers to effectively manage exposure to losses arising from frequency of large catastrophic events and severity from individual risk losses. We strive to optimize our reinsurance program to manage volatility and protect the balance sheet from tail events and unpredictable net losses in support of our profitable growth objectives.
Underwriting
Excellence: Continue to enhance portfolio optimization through strength of underwriting framework and guidelines as well as clear communication of risk appetite and rate adequacy. Empower and increase accountability of the underwriter and continue to integrate underwriting, claims and actuarial to enable better decision making. Focus on enhancing risk selection, driving consistent underwriting best practices and building robust monitoring standards to improve underwriting results.
COMPETITION AND CHALLENGES
General Insurance operates in a highly competitive industry against global, national and local insurers and reinsurers and underwriting syndicates in specific market areas and product types. Insurance
companies compete through a combination of risk acceptance criteria, product pricing, service levels and terms and conditions. We serve our business and individual customers on a global basis – from the largest multinational corporations to local businesses and individuals. General Insurance seeks to differentiate itself in the markets where we participate by providing leading expertise and insight to clients, distribution partners and other stakeholders, delivering underwriting excellence and value-driven insurance solutions and providing high quality, tailored end-to-end support to stakeholders. In doing so, we leverage our world-class global franchise, multinational capabilities, balance sheet strength and financial flexibility.
Our challenges include:
•ensuring adequate business pricing given passage of time to reporting and settlement for insurance business,
particularly with respect to long-tail Commercial Lines exposures;
•impact of social and economic inflation on claim frequency and severity; and
•volatility in claims arising from natural and man-made catastrophes and other aggregations of risk exposure.
INDUSTRY AND ECONOMIC FACTORS
The results of General Insurance for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 reflect continued strong performance from our Commercial Lines portfolio and focused execution on our portfolio management strategies within Personal Insurance. Across our North America and International Commercial
Lines of business we have seen increased demand for our insurance products with continued positive rate change and improvement in terms and conditions. We continue to monitor the impact of inflation, ongoing labor force and supply chain disruptions and volatile commodity prices, among other factors, on rate adequacy and loss cost trends. Similarly, we are monitoring the responsive monetary policy actions taken or anticipated to be taken by central banks, to curb inflation and the corresponding impact on market interest rates.
General Insurance – North America
North America Commercial remains in a firm market amidst a backdrop of increasing claims severity due to elevated economic and social inflation, as well as a higher frequency and severity of natural
catastrophe losses over recent years. While market discipline continues to support price increases across most lines, we are seeing capacity move back into the market in certain segments given the improved pricing levels which is putting pressure on rates. We have focused on retaining our best accounts which has led to improving retention across the portfolio. These retention rates are often coupled with an exposure limit management strategy to reduce volatility within the portfolio. We continue to proactively identify segment growth areas as market conditions warrant through effective portfolio management, while non-renewing unprofitable business.
Personal Insurance growth prospects are supported by the need for full life cycle products and coverage, increases in personal wealth accumulation, and awareness of insurance protection and risk management. We compete in the high net worth market, accident and health insurance,
travel insurance, and warranty services.
ITEM 2 | Business Segment Operations | General Insurance
General
Insurance – International
We are continuing to pursue growth in our most profitable lines of business and diversify our portfolio across all regions by expanding key business lines while remaining a market leader in key developed and developing markets. Overall, Commercial Lines continue to show positive rate change, particularly in our Property, Casualty, Marine and Energy portfolios and across international markets where market events or withdrawal of capability and capacity have favorably impacted pricing. We are maintaining our underwriting discipline, reducing gross and net limits where appropriate, utilizing reinsurance to reduce volatility, as well as continuing our risk selection strategy to improve profitability.
Personal Insurance focuses on individual customers, as well as group and corporate clients. Although market competition within Personal Insurance
has increased, we continue to benefit from the underwriting quality and portfolio diversity.

Net premiums written increased by $13 million primarily driven by PCG resulting from changes in our reinsurance program, as well as growth in Property and Casualty lines driven by continued positive rate change, higher renewal retentions and strong new business production. This was partially offset by a decrease in Crop as a consequence of the CRS sale,
as well as AIG Re and Financial Lines.
Net premiums written increased by $1.1 billion primarily due to:
•growth in Commercial Lines ($694 million), particularly in AIG Re and Property driven by continued positive rate change, higher renewal retentions and strong new business production, partially offset by decreases in Crop as a consequence of the CRS sale, as well as Financial Lines due to volatility in capital markets and increased competition resulting in rate declines; and
•growth in Personal Insurance ($420 million) driven by PCG resulting from changes in
our reinsurance program, partially offset by decreases in Travel and Warranty.
Underwriting Income (Loss) Comparison for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2023 and 2022
Underwriting income increased by $674 million primarily due to:
•net favorable prior year reserve development in 2023 compared to net adverse prior year reserve development in 2022 (14.2 points or $475 million), primarily due to favorable development in Financial Lines in 2023 compared to unfavorable development in 2022, partially offset by lower favorable development in Casualty;
•lower catastrophe losses (5.9 points or $189 million); and
•improvement
in the accident year loss ratio, as adjusted (3.6 points) primarily driven by changes in business mix along with continued positive rate change, focused risk selection and improved terms and conditions.
This increase was partially offset by:
•a higher expense ratio of 2.0 points reflecting a higher acquisition ratio (2.1 points) primarily driven by changes in business mix partially offset by a lower general operating expense ratio (0.1 points) resulting from continued general expense discipline as we grow the portfolio.
ITEM 2 | Business Segment Operations | General Insurance
Underwriting Income (Loss) Comparison for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023 and 2022
Underwriting income increased by $663 million primarily due to:
•net favorable prior year reserve development in 2023 compared to net unfavorable development in 2022 (4.7 points or $458 million), primarily due to favorable development in Financial Lines in 2023 compared to unfavorable development in 2022 partially offset by lower favorable development
in Casualty;
•premium growth with improvement in the accident year loss ratio, as adjusted (2.6 points) primarily driven by changes in business mix along with continued positive rate change, focused risk selection and improved terms and conditions; and
•lower catastrophe losses (0.6 points or $26 million).
This increase was partially offset by
•a higher expense ratio of 0.8 points reflecting a higher acquisition ratio (0.9 points) primarily driven by changes in business mix, partially offset by a lower general operating expense ratio (0.1 points) resulting from continued general expense discipline as we grow the portfolio.

year development, net of reinsurance and prior year premiums
Net premiums written, excluding the impact of unfavorable foreign exchange ($1 million), increased by $47 million
due to:
•growth in Personal Insurance ($27 million) driven by Individual Travel, Personal Auto and Warranty, partially offset by lower production in PCG; and
•growth in Commercial Lines ($20 million), notably in Property and Specialty driven by continued positive rate change and strong new business production, partially offset by a decrease in Financial Lines.
Net premiums written, excluding the impact of unfavorable foreign exchange ($344 million), increased by $292 million due to:
•growth in
Commercial Lines ($258 million), notably in Property and Specialty driven by continued positive rate change and strong new business production, partially offset by a decrease in Financial Lines due to volatility in capital markets and increased competition resulting in rate declines; and
•growth in Personal Insurance ($34 million) driven by Individual Travel and Personal Auto, partially offset by lower production in PCG.
Underwriting Income (Loss) Comparison for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2023 and 2022
Underwriting income decreased by $231 million primarily due to:
•lower net favorable prior year reserve development (10.1 points or $314 million),
primarily due to lower favorable development in Specialty and Personal Auto, partially offset by favorable development in Financial Lines in 2023.
This decrease was partially offset by:
•premium growth with improvement in the accident year loss ratio, as adjusted (2.5 points) primarily driven by changes in business mix along with continued positive rate change, focused risk selection and improved terms and conditions;
•lower catastrophe losses (0.2 points or $4 million); and
•a lower expense ratio (0.1 points) reflecting a lower acquisition ratio (0.4 points) primarily driven by changes in business mix, partially offset by an increase in the general operating expense ratio (0.3 points).
Underwriting
Income (Loss) Comparison for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023 and 2022
Underwriting income decreased by $369 million primarily due to:
•net unfavorable prior year reserve development of $65 million in 2023 compared to net favorable development in 2022 of $384 million (4.5 points or $449 million), primarily as a result of lower favorable development in Specialty and higher unfavorable development in Casualty, partially offset by favorable development in Financial Lines in 2023 ; and
•a higher expense ratio (0.3 points) reflecting an increase in the general operating expense ratio (0.7 points), partially offset by a lower acquisition ratio (0.4 points) primarily driven by changes in
business mix and improved commission terms.
This decrease was partially offset by:
•improvement in the accident year loss ratio, as adjusted (0.9 points) primarily driven by changes in business mix along with continued positive rate change, focused risk selection and improved terms and conditions; and
•lower catastrophe losses (0.5 points or $62 million).
ITEM 2 | Business Segment Operations | Life and Retirement
Life and Retirement
Life and Retirement consists of four operating segments: Individual Retirement, Group Retirement, Life Insurance and Institutional Markets. We offer a broad portfolio of products in the U.S. through a multichannel distribution network and life and health products in the UK and Ireland.
PRODUCTS AND DISTRIBUTION
Variable
Annuities: Products include variable annuities that offer a combination of growth potential, death benefit features and income protection features. Variable annuities are distributed primarily through banks, wirehouses, and regional and independent broker-dealers.
Fixed Index Annuities: Products include fixed index annuities that provide growth potential based in part on the performance of a market index as well as optional living guaranteed features that provide lifetime income protection. Fixed index annuities are distributed primarily through banks, broker-dealers, independent marketing organizations and independent insurance agents.
Fixed Annuities: Products include single premium fixed annuities, immediate
annuities and deferred income annuities. Certain fixed deferred annuity products offer optional income protection features. The fixed annuities product line maintains an industry-leading position in the U.S. bank distribution channel by designing products collaboratively with banks and offering an efficient and flexible administration platform.
Group Retirement:
Known in the marketplace as Corebridge Retirement Services. Products and services consist of record-keeping, plan administrative and compliance services, financial planning and advisory solutions offered to employer defined contribution plans and their participants, along with proprietary and non-proprietary annuities and advisory and brokerage products offered outside of plans.
Retirement Services offers its products and services through The Variable Annuity Life Insurance Company and its subsidiaries, VALIC Financial Advisors, Inc. and VALIC Retirement Services Company.
Retirement Services employee financial advisors serve individual clients, including in-plan enrollment support and education, and comprehensive
financial planning services.
Life Insurance: In the U.S., products primarily include term life and universal life insurance distributed through independent marketing organizations, independent insurance agents, financial advisors and direct marketing. International operations primarily include the distribution of life and health products in the UK and Ireland. Corebridge
previously announced agreements to sell Laya and AIG Life. The sale of Laya closed on October 31, 2023 and the AIG Life sale is expected to close in the first half of 2024.
Institutional Markets: Products primarily include stable value wrap products, structured settlement and pension risk transfer annuities (direct and assumed reinsurance), corporate-
and bank-owned life insurance, high net worth products and guaranteed investment contracts (GICs). Institutional Markets products are primarily distributed through specialized marketing and consulting firms and structured settlement brokers.
FHLB Funding Agreements: Funding agreements are issued by our U.S. Life and Retirement companies to FHLBs in their respective districts at fixed or floating rates over specified periods, which can be prepaid at our discretion. Proceeds are generally invested in fixed income securities and other suitable investments to generate spread income. These investment contracts
do not have mortality or morbidity risk and are similar to GICs.
ITEM 2 | Business Segment Operations | Life and Retirement

Deliver Value Creation and Manage Capital by striving to deliver solid earnings and returns on capital
through disciplined pricing, sustainable underwriting improvements, expense efficiency, and diversification of risk, while optimizing capital allocation and efficiency within insurance entities to enhance return on common equity.
COMPETITION AND CHALLENGES
Life and Retirement operates in the highly competitive insurance and financial services industry in the U.S. and select international markets, competing against various financial services companies, including banks and other life insurance and mutual fund companies. Competition is primarily based on product pricing and design, distribution, financial strength, customer service and ease of doing business.
Our business remains competitive
due to its long-standing market leading positions, innovative products, distribution relationships across multiple channels, customer-focused service and strong financial ratings.
Our primary challenges include:
•managing a rising rate environment. While a rising rate environment improves yields on new investment, improves margins on our business, and increases sales in certain products such as fixed annuities, it may also result in increased competition for certain products resulting in a need to increase crediting rates, and has resulted in lower separate account asset values for investments in fixed income which has reduced fee income;
ITEM 2 | Business Segment Operations | Life and Retirement
•increased competition in our primary markets, including aggressive pricing of annuities by competitors, increased competition and consolidation of employer groups in the group retirement planning market, and competitors with different profitability targets in the pension risk transfer space as well as other product
lines;
•increasingly complex new and proposed regulatory requirements, which have affected industry growth and costs; and
•upgrading our technology and underwriting processes while managing general operating expenses.
INDUSTRY AND ECONOMIC FACTORS
Individual Retirement
Increasing life expectancy and reduced expectations for traditional retirement income from defined benefit programs and fixed income
securities are leading Americans to seek additional financial security as they approach retirement. The strong demand for fixed index and fixed annuities with guaranteed living benefit features has attracted increased competition in this product space. In response to the low interest rate environment that prevailed over the past several years we have developed guaranteed living benefits for variable, fixed index and fixed annuities with margins that are less sensitive to the level of interest rates.
Changes in the capital markets (interest rate environment, credit spreads, equity markets, volatility) can have a significant impact on sales, surrender rates, investment returns, guaranteed income features, and net investment spreads in the annuity industry.
Group
Retirement
Group Retirement competes in the defined contribution market under the Retirement Services brand. Retirement Services is a leading retirement plan provider in the U.S. for K-12 schools and school districts, higher education, healthcare, government and other not-for-profit institutions. The defined contribution market is a highly efficient and competitive market that requires support for both plan sponsors and individual participants. To meet this challenge, Retirement Services is investing in a client- focused technology platform to support improved compliance and self-service functionality. Retirement Services’ model pairs self-service tools with its employee financial advisors who provide individual plan participants with enrollment support and comprehensive financial planning services.
Changes in the interest rates, credit spreads and equity market environment can
have a significant impact on investment returns, fee income, advisory and other income, guaranteed income features, and net investment spreads, and a moderate impact on sales and surrender rates.
Life Insurance
Consumers have a significant need for life insurance, whether it is used for income replacement for their surviving family, estate planning or wealth transfer. Additionally, consumers use life insurance to provide living benefits in case of chronic, critical or terminal illnesses, and to supplement retirement income.
In response to consumer needs and a changing interest rate environment, our Life Insurance product portfolio will continue to promote products with less long-duration
interest rate risk and mitigate exposure to products that have long-duration interest rate risk through sales levels and hedging strategies.
As life insurance ownership remains at historical lows in the U.S. and the UK, efforts to expand the reach and increase the affordability of life insurance are critical. The industry is investing in consumer-centric efforts to reduce traditional barriers to securing life protection by simplifying the sales and service experience. Digitally enabled processes and tools provide a fast, friendly and simple path to life insurance protection.
Institutional Markets
Institutional Markets serves a variety of needs for corporate clients. Demand
is driven by a number of factors including the macroeconomic and regulatory environment. We expect to see continued growth in the pension risk transfer market (direct and assumed reinsurance) as corporate plan sponsors look to transfer asset or liability, longevity, administrative and operational risks associated with their defined benefit plans.
Changes in interest rates and credit spreads can have a significant impact on investment returns and net investment spreads, impacting organic growth opportunities.

Business and Financial Highlights
Adjusted Pre-Tax Income (Loss) Comparison for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2023 and 2022
Adjusted pre-tax income increased $195 million primarily due to higher net investment spread income ($207 million) primarily driven by higher base portfolio spread income ($186 million) due to improved base portfolio yields and higher alternative investment income ($18 million).
Adjusted Pre-Tax Income (Loss) Comparison for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023 and 2022
Adjusted
pre-tax income increased $477 million primarily due to higher net investment spread income ($527 million) primarily driven by higher base portfolio spread income ($621 million) due to improved base yields and higher yield enhancement income ($23 million), partially offset by lower alternative investment income ($117 million).
This increase was partially offset by lower policy and advisory fee income, net of advisory fee expenses ($62 million), primarily due to lower average variable annuity separate account asset values driven by negative net flows.

Premiums
and Deposits and Net Flow Comparison for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2023 and 2022
Fixed Annuities Net outflows increased ($1.1 billion) over the prior year, primarily due to higher surrenders and withdrawals ($965 million) and higher death benefits ($164 million), partially offset by higher premiums and deposits ($23 million) due to higher interest rates.
Fixed Index Annuities Net inflows increased ($213 million) primarily due to higher premiums and deposits ($479 million) driven by competitive pricing and higher interest rates, partially offset by higher surrenders and withdrawals ($245 million) and higher death benefits ($21 million).
Variable Annuities
Net outflows increased ($546 million) primarily due to lower premiums and deposits ($333 million) driven by market volatility, higher surrenders and withdrawals ($209 million) and higher death benefits ($4 million).
Premiums and Deposits and Net Flow Comparison for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023 and 2022
Fixed Annuities Net outflows increased $2.5 billion over the prior year, primarily due to higher surrenders and withdrawals ($3.0 billion) and higher death benefits ($81 million). Partially offset by higher premiums and deposits ($586 million) due to competitive pricing and higher interest rates.
Fixed Index Annuities Net inflows increased ($1.1 billion) primarily due to higher premiums
and deposits ($2.0 billion), due to competitive pricing and higher interest rates, partially offset by higher surrenders and withdrawals ($818 million) and higher death benefits ($65 million).
Variable Annuities Net outflows increased ($1.3 billion) primarily due to lower premiums and deposits ($1.0 billion), due to market volatility and higher surrenders and withdrawals ($287 million); partially offset by lower death benefits ($37 million).
(a)The
non-surrenderable portion of variable annuities relates to funding agreements.
(b)Includes payout Immediate Annuities and funding agreements.
Individual Retirement annuities are typically subject to a three- to seven-year surrender charge period, depending on the product. For fixed and fixed index annuities, the proportion of account value subject to surrender charge at September 30, 2023 increased compared to December 31, 2022 primarily due to growth in business. The increase in the proportion of account value with no surrender charge for variable annuities as of September 30, 2023 compared to December 31, 2022 was principally due to normal aging of business.

Business
and Financial Highlights
Adjusted Pre-Tax Income (Loss) Comparison for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2023 and 2022
Adjusted pre-tax income decreased ($2 million) primarily due to:
•lower net investment spread income ($1 million) primarily driven by lower base portfolio spread income ($7 million) and lower yield enhancement income ($5 million), partially offset by higher alternative investment income ($11 million).
Adjusted Pre-Tax Income (Loss) Comparison for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023 and 2022
Adjusted pre-tax
income decreased $35 million primarily due to:
•lower net investment spread income ($24 million) primarily driven by lower alternative investment income ($76 million), partially offset by higher base portfolio spread income ($49 million); and
•lower policy and advisory fee income, net of advisory fee expenses of ($9 million) due to lower average separate account assets driven by negative net flows.
GROUP RETIREMENT GAAP PREMIUMS, PREMIUMS AND DEPOSITS, SURRENDERS AND NET FLOWS
Premiums and deposits are a non-GAAP financial measure that includes, in addition to direct and assumed premiums, deposits received on investment-type
annuity contracts, FHLB funding agreements and mutual funds under administration.
Net flows for annuity products included in Group Retirement represent premiums and deposits less death, surrender and other withdrawal benefits. Net flows for mutual funds represent deposits less withdrawals. Client deposits into advisory and brokerage accounts less total client withdrawals from advisory and brokerage accounts, are not included in net flows, but do contribute to growth in assets under administration and advisory fee income.
The following table presents a reconciliation of Group Retirement GAAP premiums to premiums and deposits and net flows:

Premiums and Deposits and Net Flow Comparison for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2023 and 2022
Net outflows were ($1.4 billion) higher compared to the prior year primarily due to higher surrenders and withdrawals ($1.2 billion), lower premiums and deposits ($208 million) and higher death and payout annuity benefits ($12 million). Large plan acquisitions and surrenders resulted in lower net flows of ($1.0 billion) compared to the prior year. Excluding large plan acquisitions and surrenders, net outflows
were concentrated in variable annuity products with higher contractual guaranteed minimum crediting rates.
Premiums and Deposits and Net Flow Comparison for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023 and 2022
Net outflows were ($2.6 billion) higher compared to the prior year primarily due to higher surrenders and withdrawals ($2.9 billion), partially offset by higher premiums and deposits ($301 million) and lower death and payout annuity benefits ($34 million). Large plan acquisitions and surrenders resulted in lower net flows of ($1.4 billion) compared to the prior year. Excluding large plan acquisitions and surrenders, net outflows were concentrated in variable annuity products with higher contractual guaranteed minimum crediting rates.
The
following table presents Group Retirement surrenders rates:
(a)Excludes
mutual fund assets under administration of $25.0 billion and $24.0 billion at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
(b)Group Retirement amounts in this category include account values in the general account of approximately $4.2 billion and $4.5 billion at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, which are subject to 20 percent annual withdrawal limitations at the participant level and account value in the general account of $5.4 billion and $5.8 billion at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, which are subject to 20 percent annual withdrawal limitations
at the plan level.
(c)Includes payout Immediate Annuities and funding agreements.
Group Retirement annuity deposits are typically subject to a five- to seven-year surrender charge period, depending on the product. At September 30, 2023, Group Retirement annuity account value with no surrender charge decreased compared to December 31, 2022 primarily due to decreases in assets under management from negative net flows, partially offset by higher equity markets.

*Interest
– Asset Management primarily represents interest expense on consolidated investment entities of $20 million and $56 million in the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $116 million and $143 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Adjusted pre-tax loss before consolidation and eliminations of $468 million in 2023 compared to $467 million in 2022, an increase of $1 million, was primarily due to:
•lower net investment income associated with consolidated investment entities of $130 million;
•lower corporate general operating expenses of $51 million
primarily driven by lower information technology expenses of $18 million and other operating expenses of $33 million; and
•lower interest expense of $12 million primarily lower interest expense associated with consolidated investments entities due to higher interest rates of $33 million and interest savings of $18 million from $8.6 billion debt repurchases, through cash tender offers and debt redemption in 2022 partially offset by interest expense of $40 million on the $1.5 billion draw down on Corebridge 3-Year Delayed Draw Term Loan, $1.0 billion junior subordinated debt issued by Corebridge in 2022 and $750 million AIG senior unsecured debt.
Adjusted pre-tax gain on consolidation and eliminations of $3 million in 2023 compared to losses of $147 million in 2022, an increase of $150 million, was primarily due to the elimination of the insurance companies’
net investment income from their investment in the consolidated investment entities of $166 million.
Adjusted pre-tax loss before consolidation and eliminations of $1.3 billion in 2023 compared to $1.1 billion in 2022, an increase of $239 million, was primarily due to:
•lower net investment income associated with consolidated investment entities of $564 million, partially offset by the absence of 2022 mark to market losses on CLO of $286 million;
•lower corporate general operating expenses of $81 million primarily driven by a reduction in information technology expenses of $35 million and
other operating expenses of $46 million; and
•higher interest expense of $39 million primarily driven by interest expense of $178 million on the $6.5 billion Corebridge senior unsecured notes, $1.5 billion draw down on Corebridge 3-Year Delayed Draw Term Loan and $1.0 billion junior subordinated debt issued by Corebridge in 2022, partially offset by interest savings of $132 million from $9.4 billion debt repurchases, through cash tender offers and debt redemption in 2022 and lower interest expense associated with consolidated investments entities due to higher interest rates of $23 million.
Adjusted pre-tax loss on consolidation and eliminations of $51 million in 2023 compared to $410 million in 2022, a decrease of $359 million, was primarily due to the elimination of the insurance companies’ net investment income from their investment in the consolidated
investment entities of $379 million.
Our
investment strategies are tailored to the specific business needs of each operating unit by targeting an asset allocation mix that supports estimated cash flows of our outstanding liabilities and provides diversification from an asset class, sector, issuer, and geographic perspective. The primary objectives are generation of investment income, preservation of capital, liquidity management and growth of surplus. The majority of assets backing our insurance liabilities consist of fixed maturity securities.
Over the past several quarters inflation has continued to remain elevated, which has led to significant increases in interest rates by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. This has also led to a significant rise in interest rates across the yield curve and a widening of credit spreads reflecting ongoing recession concerns.
Our
Investment Management Agreements with Blackstone Inc.
In 2021, AIG entered into a long-term asset management relationship with Blackstone Inc. and its investment advisory affiliates (Blackstone), pursuant to which Blackstone initially managed $50 billion of Corebridge’s existing investment portfolio, with that amount increasing to an aggregate of $92.5 billion over the next five years. As of September 30, 2023, Blackstone manages $55 billion in book value of assets in Corebridge's investment portfolio. As these assets run-off, we expect Blackstone to reinvest primarily in Blackstone-originated investments across a range of asset classes, including private and structured credit, and commercial and residential real estate securitized and whole loans. We continue to manage asset allocation and portfolio-level risk management decisions with respect to any assets managed by Blackstone,
ensuring that we maintain a consistent level of oversight across our entire investment portfolio considering our asset-liability matching needs, risk appetite and capital positions.
Our Investment Management Agreements with BlackRock, Inc.
Since April 2022, AIG and Corebridge insurance company subsidiaries have entered into separate investment management agreements with BlackRock, Inc. and its investment advisory affiliates (BlackRock). Certain additional insurance company subsidiaries will also enter into such investment management agreements over the coming months. As of September 30, 2023, BlackRock manages $131 billion of our investment portfolio, consisting
of liquid fixed income and certain private placement assets, including $68 billion of Corebridge assets. In addition, liquid fixed income assets associated with the Fortitude Re portfolio were separately transferred to BlackRock for management.
For additional information, see Note 1 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
•Blended investment yields on new investments are higher than blended rates on investments that were sold, matured or called during this period. We continued to make investments
in structured securities and other fixed maturity securities with attractive risk-adjusted return characteristics to improve yields and increase net investment income.
•The higher interest rate environment has contributed to higher income in the base portfolio for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the same period in the prior year. Total Net investment income decreased for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily due to lower returns in our private equity and hedge fund portfolios and lower income in our available for sale fixed security portfolio primarily driven by lower call and prepayment income.
INVESTMENT
STRATEGIES
Investment strategies are assessed at the segment level and involve considerations that include local and general market and economic conditions, duration and cash flow management, risk appetite and volatility constraints, rating agency and regulatory capital considerations, tax, regulatory and legal investment limitations, and, as applicable, environmental, social and governance considerations.
Some of our key investment strategies are as follows:
•Our fundamental strategy across the portfolios is to seek investments with similar characteristics to the associated insurance liabilities to the extent practicable.
•We seek to purchase investments that offer enhanced yield through illiquidity premiums, such as private placements and commercial
mortgage loans, which also add portfolio diversification. These assets typically afford credit protections through covenants, ability to customize structures that meet our insurance liability needs, and deeper due diligence given information access.
•Given
our global presence, we seek investments that provide diversification from investments available in local markets. To the extent we purchase these investments, we generally hedge any currency risk using derivatives, which could provide opportunities to earn higher risk adjusted returns compared to investments in the functional currency.
•AIG Parent, included in Other Operations, actively manages its assets and liabilities, counterparties and duration. AIG Parent’s liquidity sources are held primarily in the form of cash and short-term investments. This strategy allows us to both diversify our sources of liquidity and reduce the cost of maintaining sufficient liquidity.
•Within the U.S., the Life and Retirement and General Insurance investments are generally split between reserve backing and surplus portfolios.
–Insurance
reserves are backed mainly by investment grade fixed maturity securities that meet our duration, risk-return, tax, liquidity, credit quality and diversification objectives. We assess asset classes based on their fundamental underlying risk factors, including credit (public and private), commercial real estate and residential real estate, regardless of whether such investments are bonds, loans, or structured products.
–Surplus investments seek to enhance portfolio returns and are generally comprised of a mix of fixed maturity investment grade and below investment grade securities and various alternative asset classes, including private equity, real estate equity, and hedge funds. Over the past few years, hedge fund investments have been reduced.
•Outside of the U.S., fixed maturity securities held by our insurance companies consist
primarily of investment-grade securities generally denominated in the currencies of the countries in which we operate.
•We also utilize derivatives to manage our asset and liability duration as well as currency exposures.
Asset-Liability Management
The investment strategy within the General Insurance companies focuses on growth of surplus, maintenance of sufficient liquidity for unanticipated insurance claims, and preservation of capital. General Insurance invests primarily in fixed maturity securities issued by corporations, municipalities and other governmental agencies; structured securities collateralized by, among other assets, residential and commercial real estate; and commercial mortgage loans. Fixed maturity securities of the General Insurance companies’ North America operations have an average duration
of 4.1 years. Fixed maturity securities of the General Insurance companies’ International operations have an average duration of 3.3 years.
While invested assets backing reserves of the General Insurance companies are primarily invested in conventional liquid fixed maturity securities, we have continued to allocate to asset classes that offer higher yields through structural and illiquidity premiums, particularly in our North America operations. In addition, we continue to invest in both fixed rate and floating rate asset-backed investments to manage our exposure to potential changes in interest rates and inflation. We seek to diversify the portfolio across asset classes, sectors and issuers to mitigate idiosyncratic portfolio risks.
In addition, a portion of the surplus of General Insurance companies is invested in a diversified portfolio of alternative investments that seek to
balance liquidity, volatility and growth of surplus. Although these alternative investments are subject to periodic earnings fluctuations, they have historically achieved yields in excess of the fixed maturity portfolio yields and have provided added diversification to the broader portfolio.
The investment strategy of the Life and Retirement companies is to provide net investment income to back liabilities that result in stable distributable earnings and enhance portfolio value, subject to asset-liability management, capital, liquidity and regulatory constraints.
The Life and Retirement companies use asset-liability management as a primary tool to monitor and manage risk in their businesses. The Life and Retirement companies maintain a diversified, high-to-medium quality portfolio of fixed maturity securities issued by corporations, municipalities and other governmental agencies;
structured securities collateralized by, among other assets, residential and commercial real estate; and commercial mortgage loans that, to the extent practicable, match the duration characteristics of the liabilities. We seek to diversify the portfolio across asset classes, sectors, and issuers to mitigate idiosyncratic portfolio risks. The investment portfolio of each product line is tailored to the specific characteristics of its insurance liabilities, and as a result, duration varies between distinct portfolios. The interest rate environment has a direct impact on the asset-liability management profile of the businesses, and changes in the interest rate environment may result in the need to lengthen or shorten the duration of the portfolio. In a rising rate environment, we may shorten the duration of the investment portfolio.
Fixed maturity securities of the Life and Retirement companies’ domestic operations have an average
duration of 6.7 years.
In addition, the Life and Retirement companies seek to enhance surplus portfolio returns through investments in a diversified portfolio of alternative investments. Although these alternative investments are subject to periodic earnings fluctuations, they have historically achieved returns in excess of the fixed maturity portfolio returns.
National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) Designations of Fixed Maturity Securities
The Securities Valuation Office (SVO) of the NAIC evaluates the investments of U.S. insurers for statutory reporting purposes and assigns fixed maturity securities to one of six categories called NAIC Designations. In general, NAIC Designations of ‘1’ highest quality, or ‘2’ high quality, include fixed maturity securities considered investment grade, while NAIC Designations of ‘3’ through ‘6’ generally include fixed maturity securities referred to as below investment grade. NAIC Designations for non-agency Residential Mortgage Backed Securities (RMBS) and Commercial Mortgage Backed Securities (CMBS) are calculated using third party modeling results provided through the NAIC. These methodologies result
in an improved NAIC Designation for such securities compared to the rating typically assigned by the three major rating agencies. The following tables summarize the ratings distribution of AIG subsidiaries’ fixed maturity security portfolio by NAIC Designation, and the distribution by composite AIG credit rating, which is generally based on ratings of the three major rating agencies. For fixed maturity securities where no NAIC Designation is assigned or able to be calculated using third-party data, the NAIC Designation category used in the first table below reflects an internal rating.
The NAIC Designations presented below do not reflect the added granularity to the designation categories adopted by the NAIC in 2020, which further subdivide each category of fixed maturity securities by appending letter modifiers to the numerical designations.
For
a full description of the composite AIG credit ratings, see Credit Ratings below.
The following table presents the fixed maturity security portfolio categorized by NAIC Designation, at fair value:
*Excludes
$11 million of fixed maturity securities for which no NAIC Designation is available.
CREDIT RATINGS
At September 30, 2023, approximately 89 percent of our fixed maturity securities were held by our domestic entities. Approximately 92 percent of these securities were rated investment grade by one or more of the principal rating agencies.
Moody’s Investors Service Inc. (Moody’s), Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC, a subsidiary of S&P Global Inc. (S&P), or similar foreign rating services rate a significant portion of our foreign entities’ fixed maturity securities portfolio. Rating services are not available for some foreign-issued securities. Our Credit
Risk Management closely reviews the credit quality of the foreign portfolio’s non-rated fixed maturity securities. At September 30, 2023, approximately 93 percent of such investments were either rated investment grade or, on the basis of analysis of our investment managers, were equivalent from a credit standpoint to securities rated investment grade. Approximately 27 percent of the foreign entities’ fixed maturity securities portfolio is comprised of sovereign fixed maturity securities supporting policy liabilities in the country of issuance.
Composite AIG Credit Ratings
With respect to our fixed maturity securities, the credit ratings in the table below and in subsequent tables reflect: (i) a composite of the ratings of the three major rating agencies, or when agency ratings are not available, the NAIC Designation assigned by the
NAIC SVO (99 percent of total fixed maturity securities), or (ii) our internal ratings when these investments have not been rated by any of the major rating agencies or the NAIC. The “Non-rated” category in those tables consists of fixed maturity securities that have not been rated by any of the major rating agencies, the NAIC or us.

Lower Net realized gains excluding Fortitude Re funds withheld assets in the three months ended September 30, 2023 were primarily due to lower derivatives gains compared to the prior year period. Net realized losses excluding Fortitude Re funds withheld assets in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to Net realized gains excluding Fortitude Re funds withheld assets in the prior year period were primarily due to lower derivative gains in the current period compared to the prior year period.
Index-linked interest credited embedded derivatives, net of related hedges,
reflected larger gains in the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the same period in the prior year. Index-linked interest credited embedded derivatives, net of related hedges, reflected losses in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to gains in the same period in the prior year. Fair value gains or losses in the hedging portfolio are typically not fully offset by increases or decreases in liabilities due to the non-performance or “own credit” risk adjustment used in the valuation of index-linked interest credited embedded derivatives, which are not hedged as part of our economic hedging program, and other risk margins used for valuation that cause the embedded derivatives to be less sensitive to changes in market rates than the hedge portfolio.
Net realized gains (losses) on Fortitude Re funds
withheld assets primarily reflect changes in the valuation of the modified coinsurance and funds withheld assets. Increases in the valuation of these assets result in losses to AIG as the appreciation on the assets under those reinsurance arrangements must be transferred to Fortitude Re. Decreases in valuation of the assets result in gains to AIG as the depreciation on the assets under those reinsurance arrangements must be transferred to Fortitude Re. For additional information on the impact of the funds withheld arrangements with Fortitude Re, see Note 8 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

For additional information on our investment portfolio, see Note 6 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Change in Unrealized Gains and Losses on Investments
The change in net unrealized gains and losses on investments in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 was primarily attributable to a change in the fair value of fixed maturity securities.
For the three months ended September 30, 2023, net unrealized losses related to fixed maturity securities were $7.0 billion due primarily to a significant increase in interest rates. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, net unrealized losses were $4.0 billion due to an increase in interest rates, partially offset by narrowing of credit spreads.
The change in net unrealized gains and losses on investments in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 was primarily attributable to decrease in the fair value of fixed maturity securities. For the three months ended September 30, 2022, net unrealized losses related to fixed maturity securities were $12.1 billion due primarily to a significant increase in interest rates
and widening of credit spreads. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, net unrealized losses were $50.2 billion due to an increase in interest rates.
For additional information on our investment portfolio, see Note 6 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

We
note that for certain categories of claims (e.g., construction defect claims and environmental claims) and for reinsurance recoverable, losses may sometimes be reclassified to an earlier or later accident year as more information about the date of occurrence becomes available to us.
Significant Reinsurance Agreements
In the first quarter of 2017, we entered into an adverse development reinsurance agreement with NICO, under which we transferred to NICO 80 percent of the reserve risk on substantially all of our U.S. Commercial long-tail exposures for accident years 2015 and prior. Under this agreement, we ceded to NICO 80 percent of the losses on subject business paid on or after January 1, 2016 in excess of $25 billion of net paid losses, up to an aggregate limit of $25 billion. We account for this transaction as retroactive reinsurance.
This transaction resulted in a gain, which under GAAP retroactive reinsurance accounting is deferred and amortized into income over the settlement period. NICO created a collateral trust account as security for their claim payment obligations to us, into which they deposited the consideration paid under the agreement, and Berkshire Hathaway Inc. has provided a parental guarantee to secure NICO’s obligations under the agreement.
For a description of AIG’s catastrophe reinsurance protection for 2022, see Part II, Item 7. MD&A – Enterprise Risk Management – Insurance Risks – General Insurance Companies’ Key Risks – Natural Catastrophe Risk in the 2022 Annual Report.

The lines of business subject to this agreement include those with longer tails, which carry a higher degree of uncertainty. Since inception, there have been periods of unfavorable prior year development, with more recent favorable development. This agreement will continue to reduce the impact of volatility in the development on our ultimate loss estimates over time. The agreement has resulted in lower capital charges for reserve risks at our U.S. insurance subsidiaries. In addition, net investment income declined as a result of lower invested assets.
Fortitude Re was established during the first quarter of 2018 in a series of reinsurance transactions
related to our run-off operations. Those reinsurance transactions were designed to consolidate most of our insurance run-off lines into a single legal entity. As of September 30, 2023, approximately $25.9 billion of reserves from our Life and Retirement Run-Off Lines and approximately $3.0 billion of reserves from our General Insurance Run-Off Lines related to business written by multiple wholly-owned AIG subsidiaries, had been ceded to Fortitude Re under these reinsurance transactions.
LIFE AND ANNUITY FUTURE POLICY BENEFITS, POLICYHOLDER CONTRACT DEPOSITS AND MARKET RISK BENEFITS
The following section provides discussion of life and annuity future policy benefits, policyholder contract deposits and market risk benefits.
Update
of Actuarial Assumptions and Models
The life insurance companies review and update actuarial assumptions at least annually, generally in the third quarter.
Investment-oriented products
The life insurance companies review and update assumptions used to value our universal life product with secondary guarantees at least annually. These benefit reserves are also adjusted to reflect the changes in the fair value of available-for-sale securities with an offset to OCI. DAC and related items (which may include VOBA, DSI and unearned revenue reserves) are amortized on a constant level basis.
The life insurance companies also review assumptions related to variable annuities, fixed annuities, and fixed index annuities guaranteed benefits that are accounted for as MRBs or embedded derivatives and measured
at fair value. The fair value of these MRBs or embedded derivatives is based on actuarial assumptions, including policyholder behavior, as well as capital market assumptions.
Traditional long-duration products
For traditional long-duration products discussed below, which includes whole life insurance, term life insurance, accident and health insurance, PRT, and life-contingent single premium immediate annuities and structured settlements, cash flow assumptions are reviewed at least annually to determine any changes in the liability for future policy benefits. DAC and related items (which may include VOBA) are amortized on a constant level basis.
The net impacts to pre-tax income and adjusted pre-tax income because of the update of actuarial assumptions for the nine months ended September
30, 2023 and 2022 are shown in the following tables.
The following table presents the increase in pre-tax income resulting from the annual update of actuarial assumptions in the life insurance companies, by line item as reported in Results of Operations:

Update of Actuarial Assumptions Impact to Pre-tax Income (Loss)
The life insurance companies recognized favorable impacts to pre-tax income of $22 million and $132 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, attributable to the annual actuarial assumption review. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the assumption update impacts were primarily driven by updates to the portfolio yield assumption, refinements
to the modeling for universal life with secondary guarantees and similar features, and mortality assumption updates, partially offset by updated premium assumptions, and other refinements on life insurance products. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the assumption update impacts were driven by updates to the relationship between projected equity growth and interest rates, and updates to premium and withdrawal assumption for annuities, partially offset by updated investments spreads on life insurance products.
Update of Actuarial Assumptions Impact to Adjusted Pre-tax Income (Loss)
We recognized favorable impacts to adjusted pre-tax operating income of $22 million and $29 million for
the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, attributable to the annual actuarial assumption review. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the assumption update impacts were primarily driven by updates to the portfolio yield assumption, refinements to the modeling for universal life with secondary guarantees and similar features, and mortality assumption updates, partially offset by updated premium assumptions, and other refinements on life insurance products. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the assumption update impacts were primarily driven by modeling refinements to reflect actual versus expected asset data related to calls and capital gains for life insurance products.
Variable
Annuity Guaranteed Benefits and Hedging Results
Our Individual Retirement and Group Retirement businesses offer variable annuity products with riders that provide guaranteed benefits. The liabilities are accounted for as MRBs and measured at fair value. The fair value of the MRBs may fluctuate significantly based on market interest rates, equity prices, credit spreads, market volatility, policyholder behavior and other factors.
In addition to risk-mitigating features in our variable annuity product design, we have an economic hedging program designed to manage market risk from GMWBs, including exposures to changes in interest rates, equity prices, credit spreads and volatility. The hedging program includes all in-force GMWB policies and utilizes derivative instruments, including but not limited to equity options, futures contracts
and interest rate swap and option contracts, as well as fixed maturity securities.
For additional information on market risk management related to these product features, see Part II, Item 7. MD&A – Enterprise Risk Management – Insurance Risks – Life and Retirement Companies’ Key Risks – Variable Annuity, Fixed Index Annuity and Index Universal Life Risk Management and Hedging Programs in the 2022 Annual Report.
Differences in Valuation of MRBs and Economic Hedge Target
The variable annuity hedging program utilizes an economic hedge target, which represents an estimate of the underlying economic risks in our GMWB riders. The economic hedge target differs from the GAAP valuation of the MRBs, creating volatility in our net income (loss) primarily
due to the following:
•The MRBs include both the GMWB riders and the GMDB riders while the hedge program is targeting the economic risks of just the GMWB rider;
•The hedge program is designed to offset moves in the GMWB economic liability and therefore has a lower sensitivity to equity market changes than the MRBs;
•The economic hedge target includes 100 percent of the GMWB rider fees in present value calculations;
•The GAAP valuation reflects those fees attributed to the MRBs, such that the initial value at contract issue equals zero. Since the MRB includes GMWBs and GMDBs, these attributed fees are typically
larger than just the GMWB rider fees;
•The economic hedge target uses best estimate actuarial assumptions and excludes explicit risk margins used for GAAP valuation, such as margins for policyholder behavior, mortality, and volatility; and
•The economic hedge target excludes our own credit risk changes (non-performance adjustments) used in the GAAP valuation, which are recognized in OCI. The GAAP valuation has different sensitivities to movements in interest rates and other market factors, and to changes from actuarial assumption updates, than the economic hedge target.
For additional information on our valuation methodology for MRBs, see Note 5 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
The market value of the hedge portfolio compared
to the economic hedge target at any point in time may be different and is not expected to be fully offsetting. In addition to the derivatives held in conjunction with the variable annuity hedging program, the Life and Retirement companies generally have cash and invested assets available to cover future claims payable under these guarantees. The primary sources of difference between the change in the fair value of the hedging portfolio and the economic hedge target include:
•basis risk due to the variance between expected and actual fund returns, which may be either positive or negative;
•realized volatility versus implied volatility;
•actual versus expected changes in the hedge target driven by assumptions not subject to hedging, particularly policyholder behavior;
and
•risk exposures that we have elected not to explicitly or fully hedge.

Impact on Pre-tax Income (Loss)
The impact on our pre-tax income (loss) of variable annuity guaranteed benefits and related hedging results includes changes in the fair value of MRBs, and changes in the
fair value of related derivative hedging instruments, and along with attributed rider fees and net of benefits associated with MRBs are together recognized in Change in the fair value of MRBs, net, with the exception of our own credit risk changes, which are recognized in OCI. Changes in the fair value of MRBs, net are excluded from adjusted pre-tax income of Individual Retirement and Group Retirement.
The change in the fair value of the MRBs and the change in the value of the hedging portfolio are not expected to be fully offsetting, primarily due to the differences in valuation between the economic hedge target, the GAAP MRBs and the fair value of the hedging portfolio, as discussed above. When corporate credit spreads widen, the change in the non-performance risk adjustment (NPA) spread generally reduces the fair value of the MRBs liabilities, resulting in a gain in AOCI, and when corporate credit spreads tighten, the change
in the NPA spread generally increases the fair value of the MRBs liabilities, resulting in a loss in AOCI. In addition to changes driven by credit market-related movements in the NPA spread, the NPA balance also reflects changes in business activity and in the net amount at risk from the underlying guaranteed living benefits.
Change in Economic Hedge Target
The decrease in the economic hedge target liability in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was primarily driven by higher interest rates and equity markets, partially offset by tightening credit spreads.
The following table presents the impact on pre-tax income (loss) and other comprehensive income (loss) of Variable Annuity MRBs and Hedging:
Net impact on pre-tax loss of $8 million was primarily driven by decreases in equity markets.
On an economic basis, the changes in the fair value of the hedge portfolio were partially offset by the changes in the economic hedge target. In the three months ended September 30, 2023, we had a net mark-to-market loss of approximately $99 million from our hedging activities related to our economic hedge target primarily driven by tightening credit spreads.
Net impact on pre-tax income
of $195 million was primarily driven by increases in equity markets and the impact of the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate to Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) transition.
With the transition of risk free rates to the SOFR curve, our discounting of fees has been reduced, resulting in a one-time favorable impact to the MRB liability.
On an economic basis, the changes in the fair value of the hedge portfolio were partially offset by the changes in the economic hedge target. In the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we had a net mark-to-market loss of approximately $474 million from our hedging activities related to our economic hedge target primarily driven by tightening credit spreads, and lower equity volatility.
Net impact on pre-tax income of $225 million was primarily driven by increases in interest rates.
On an economic basis, the changes in the fair value of the hedge portfolio were partially offset by the changes in the economic hedge target. In the three months ended September 30, 2022, we had a net mark-to-market gain of approximately $481 million from our hedging activities related to our economic hedge target primarily driven by widening credit spreads and update of actuarial assumptions.
Net impact on pre-tax loss of $172 million was primarily driven by fund basis changes that impacted our actual to expected model outcomes,
lower equity markets and term structure moves in the interest rate volatility market, partially offset by increases in interest rates.
On an economic basis, the changes in the fair value of the hedge portfolio were partially offset by the changes in the economic hedge target. In the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we had a net mark-to-market gain of approximately $861 million from our hedging activities related to our economic hedge target primarily driven by widening credit spreads and update of actuarial assumptions.
Liquidity refers to the ability to generate sufficient cash resources to meet the cash requirements of our business operations and payment obligations.
Capital refers to the long-term financial
resources available to support the operation of our businesses, fund business growth and cover financial and operational needs that arise from adverse circumstances. Our primary source of ongoing capital generation is derived from the profitability of our insurance subsidiaries. We must comply with numerous constraints on our capital positions. These constraints drive the requirements for capital adequacy at AIG and the individual businesses and are based on internally defined risk tolerances, regulatory requirements, rating agency and creditor expectations and business needs.
For information regarding our liquidity risk framework, see Part II, Item 7. MD&A – Enterprise Risk Management – Risk Appetite, Limits, Identification and Measurement and Part II, Item 7. MD&A – Enterprise Risk Management – Liquidity Risk Management in the
2022 Annual Report.
We believe that we have sufficient liquidity and capital resources to satisfy future requirements and meet our obligations to policyholders, customers, creditors and debt-holders, including those arising from reasonably foreseeable contingencies or events. Nevertheless, some circumstances may cause our cash or capital needs to exceed projected liquidity or readily deployable capital resources.
For information regarding risks associated with our liquidity and capital resources, see Part I, Item 1A. – Risk Factors – Liquidity, Capital and Credit in the 2022 Annual Report.
Depending on market conditions, regulatory and rating agency considerations and other factors, we may take various liability and capital management actions. Liability management actions may include, but are not limited to, repurchasing or redeeming
outstanding debt, issuing new debt or engaging in debt exchange offers. Capital management actions may include, but are not limited to, issuing preferred stock, paying dividends to our shareholders on the AIG Common Stock, par value $2.50 per share (AIG Common Stock), paying dividends to the holders of our Series A 5.85% Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock (Series A Preferred Stock), and repurchases of AIG Common Stock.

Insurance companies generally receive most premiums in advance of the payment of claims or policy benefits. The ability of insurance companies to generate positive cash flow is affected by the frequency and severity of losses under their insurance policies, policy retention rates, effective management of our investment portfolio and operating expense discipline.
Interest payments totaled $745 million and $734 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Excluding interest payments, AIG had operating cash inflows of $5.4 billion

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES OF AIG PARENT AND SUBSIDIARIES
AIG Parent
As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, AIG Parent and applicable intermediate holding companies had approximately $8.1 billion and $8.2 billion in liquidity sources held in the form of cash and short-term investments, which includes AIG Parent's committed, revolving syndicated credit facility of $4.5 billion. Following the initial public offering, Corebridge liquidity, including its loan facilities, is not reflected in AIG Parent's liquidity. As a public company shareholder of Corebridge, AIG receives its pro rata share of dividends
paid by Corebridge on Corebridge common stock. AIG Parent’s primary sources of liquidity are dividends, distributions, loans and other payments from subsidiaries and credit facilities. AIG Parent’s primary uses of liquidity are for debt service, capital and liability management, operating expenses and dividends on AIG Common Stock and Series A Preferred Stock.
We expect to access the debt and preferred equity markets from time to time to meet funding requirements as needed.
We utilize our capital resources to support our businesses, with the majority of capital allocated to our insurance operations. Should we have or generate more capital than is needed to support our business strategies (including organic or inorganic growth opportunities) or mitigate risks inherent to our business, we may develop plans to distribute such capital to shareholders via dividends or AIG Common Stock repurchase authorizations or deploy such capital towards liability management.
Insurance Companies
We expect that our insurance companies will be able to continue to satisfy reasonably foreseeable future liquidity requirements
and meet their obligations, including those arising from reasonably foreseeable contingencies or events, through cash from operations and, to the extent necessary, monetization of invested assets. Our insurance companies’ liquidity resources are primarily held in the form of cash, short-term investments and publicly traded, investment grade rated fixed maturity securities.
Each of our material insurance companies’ liquidity is monitored through various internal liquidity risk measures. The primary sources of liquidity are premiums, fees, reinsurance recoverables and investment income and maturities. The primary uses of liquidity are paid losses, reinsurance payments, benefit claims, surrenders, withdrawals, interest payments, dividends, expenses, investment purchases and collateral requirements.
Our insurance companies may require additional funding to meet capital or liquidity
needs under certain circumstances. For example, large catastrophes may require us to provide additional support to the affected operations of our General Insurance companies, and a shift in interest rates may require us to provide support to the affected operations of our Life and Retirement companies.
Certain of our U.S. Life and Retirement insurance companies are members of the FHLBs in their respective districts. Our borrowings from FHLBs are non-puttable and are used to supplement liquidity or for other uses deemed appropriate by management. Our U.S. Life and Retirement companies had $5.7 billion and $4.6 billion which were due to FHLBs in their respective districts at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, under funding agreements issued through our Individual
Retirement, Group Retirement and Institutional Markets operating segments, which were reported in Policyholder contract deposits. Proceeds from funding agreements are generally invested in fixed income securities and other investments intended to generate spread income.
Certain of our U.S. Life and Retirement companies have securities lending programs that lend securities from their investment portfolio to supplement liquidity or for other uses as deemed appropriate by management. Under these programs, these companies lend securities to financial institutions and receive cash as collateral equal to 102 percent of the fair value of the loaned securities. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 we had no loans outstanding under these
programs.
AIG Parent and/or certain subsidiaries are parties to several letter of credit agreements with various financial institutions, which issue letters of credit from time to time in support of our insurance companies. These letters of credit are subject to reimbursement by AIG Parent and/or certain subsidiaries in the event of a drawdown of these letters of credit. Letters of credit issued in support of the General Insurance companies totaled approximately $3.0 billion at September 30, 2023. Letters of credit issued in support of the Life and Retirement companies totaled approximately $150 million at September 30, 2023, which are subject to reimbursement
by Corebridge with no recourse to AIG Parent.
Following the initial public offering of Corebridge, AIG owned less than 80 percent of Corebridge common stock, resulting in the tax deconsolidation of Corebridge from AIG. As such, as of September 15, 2022, AIG no longer receives tax sharing payments from Corebridge for tax liabilities of subsequent periods. With respect to historic tax periods and tax periods prior to the tax deconsolidation of Corebridge from AIG, Corebridge and AIG will make tax payments to each other pursuant to the Tax Matters Agreement, dated September 14, 2022.
CREDIT FACILITIES
AIG
Parent maintains a committed, revolving syndicated credit facility (the Facility) with aggregate commitments by the bank syndicate to provide AIG Parent with unsecured revolving loans and/or standby letters of credit of up to $4.5 billion without any limits on the type of borrowings. The Facility is scheduled to expire in November 2026.
Our ability to utilize the Facility is conditioned on the satisfaction of certain legal, operating, administrative and financial covenants and other requirements contained in the Facility. These include covenants relating to our maintenance of a specified total consolidated net worth and total consolidated debt to total consolidated capitalization. Failure to satisfy these and other requirements contained in the Facility would restrict our access to the Facility and could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and liquidity.
As
of September 30, 2023, a total of $4.5 billion remained available under the Facility.
Corebridge maintains a committed, revolving syndicated credit facility (the Corebridge Facility) with aggregate commitments by the bank syndicate to provide Corebridge with unsecured revolving loans and/or standby letters of credit of up to $2.5 billion without any limits on the type of borrowings and with no recourse to AIG Parent. The Corebridge Facility is scheduled to expire in May 2027.
As of September 30, 2023, a total of $2.5 billion remained available under the Corebridge Facility.
Corebridge also maintains a 3-Year Delayed Draw Term Loan Agreement (the DDTL Facility) with aggregate commitments by the bank syndicate to provide Corebridge with delayed draw term loans of up to $1.5 billion, with no recourse to AIG Parent. On September 15, 2022, Corebridge borrowed $1.5 billion under the DDTL Facility, $500 million of which Corebridge
repaid with net proceeds from the Corebridge Notes offering in September 2023. The DDTL Facility is scheduled to mature in February 2025.
As of September 30, 2023, a total of $1.0 billion of borrowings are outstanding under the DDTL Facility.
CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS
As of September 30, 2023, there have been no material changes in our contractual obligations from December 31, 2022, a description of which may be found in Part II, Item 7. MD&A – Liquidity and Capital Resources – Contractual Obligations in the 2022 Annual Report.
OFF-BALANCE
SHEET ARRANGEMENTS AND COMMERCIAL COMMITMENTS
As of September 30, 2023, there have been no material changes in our off-balance sheet arrangements and commercial commitments from December 31, 2022, a description of which may be found in Part II, Item 7. MD&A – Liquidity and Capital Resources – Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Commercial Commitments in the 2022 Annual Report.
DEBT
AIG expects to service and repay general borrowings through maturing investments and dispositions of invested assets, future cash flows from operations, cash flows generated from invested assets,
future debt or preferred stock issuances and other financing arrangements.

These credit ratings are current opinions of the rating agencies. They may be changed, suspended or withdrawn at any time by the rating agencies as a result of changes in, or unavailability of, information or based on other circumstances. Ratings may also be withdrawn at our request.
We are party to some agreements that contain “ratings triggers.” Depending on the ratings maintained by one or
more rating agencies, these triggers could result in (i) the termination or limitation of credit availability or a requirement for accelerated repayment, (ii) the termination of business contracts or (iii) a requirement to post collateral for the benefit of counterparties.
In the event of a downgrade of AIG’s long-term senior debt ratings, certain AIG entities would be required to post additional collateral under some derivative and other transactions, or certain of the counterparties of such AIG entities would be permitted to terminate such transactions early.
The actual amount of collateral that we would be required to post to counterparties in the event of such downgrades, or the aggregate amount of payments that we could be required to make, depends on market conditions, the fair value of
outstanding affected transactions and other factors prevailing at the time of the downgrade.

On July 11, 2023, Moody's changed the rating outlook for AIG and General Insurance subsidiaries to positive from stable and affirmed the 'A2' insurance financial strength rating of the General Insurance
subsidiaries and the 'Baa2' senior unsecured debt rating of AIG.
In response to the announcement of the sale of Validus Re, on May 24, 2023, S&P placed Validus ratings on CreditWatch with negative implications, and on May 25, 2023, A.M. Best placed its ratings on Validus under review with developing implications.
On February 27, 2023, Fitch Ratings upgraded the Insurer Financial Strength Ratings of AIG General Insurance subsidiaries to 'A+' from 'A'.
These financial strength ratings are current opinions of the rating agencies. They may be changed, suspended or withdrawn at any time by the rating agencies as a result of changes in, or unavailability of, information or based on other circumstances.

Risk management includes the identification
and measurement of various forms of risk, the establishment of risk thresholds and the creation of processes intended to maintain risks within these thresholds while optimizing returns. We consider risk management an integral part of managing our core businesses and a key element of our approach to corporate governance.
OVERVIEW
We consider risk management an integral part of our business strategy and a key element of our approach to corporate governance. We have an integrated process for managing risks throughout our organization in accordance with our firm-wide risk appetite. Our Board of Directors has oversight responsibility for the management of risk. Our Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) Department supervises and integrates the risk management functions in
each of our business units, providing senior management with a consolidated view of AIG’s major risk positions. ERM embeds risk management in our key day-to-day business processes and in identifying, assessing, quantifying, monitoring, reporting, and mitigating the risks taken by AIG. Nevertheless, our risk management efforts may not always be successful and material adverse effects on our business, results of operations, cash flows, liquidity or financial condition may occur. For further information regarding the risks associated with our business and operations, seePart I, Item 1A. Risk Factors in the 2022 Annual Report.
AIG employs a Three Lines of Defense model. AIG’s business leaders assume full accountability for the risks and controls in their operating units, and ERM performs a review, challenge and oversight function. The third line consists
of our Internal Audit Group that provides independent assurance to AIG’s Board of Directors.
For additional information on AIG’s risk management program, see Part II, Item 7. MD&A ─ Enterprise Risk Management in the 2022 Annual Report.
The scope and magnitude of our market risk exposures is managed under a robust framework that contains defined risk limits and minimum standards for managing market risk in a manner consistent with our risk appetite statement. A description of our market risk exposures may be found in Part II, Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk in the 2022 Annual Report. See Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors in the 2022 Annual Report on how difficult conditions in the financial markets and the economy generally may materially adversely affect our business and results of our operations.
Accident year The annual calendar accounting period in which loss events occurred, regardless of when the losses are actually reported, booked or paid.
Accident
year combined ratio, as adjusted (Accident year combined ratio, ex-CAT) The combined ratio excluding catastrophe losses and related reinstatement premiums, prior year development, net of premium adjustments, and the impact of reserve discounting.
Accident year loss ratio, as adjusted (Accident year loss ratio, ex-CAT) The loss ratio excluding catastrophe losses and related reinstatement premiums, prior year development, net of premium adjustments, and the impact of reserve discounting.
Acquisition ratio Acquisition costs divided by net premiums earned. Acquisition costs are those costs incurred to acquire new and renewal insurance contracts and also include the amortization of VOBA and DAC. Acquisition costs vary
with sales and include, but are not limited to, commissions, premium taxes, direct marketing costs and certain costs of personnel engaged in sales support activities such as underwriting.
Adjusted revenues exclude Net realized gains (losses), income from non-operating litigation settlements (included in Other income for GAAP purposes), changes in fair value of securities used to hedge guaranteed living benefits (included in Net investment income for GAAP purposes) and income from elimination of the international reporting lag. Adjusted revenues is a GAAP measure for our segments.
Assets under administration include assets under management and Group Retirement mutual fund assets that we sell or administer.
Attritional losses are losses recorded in the current
accident year, which are not catastrophe losses.
AUM Assets under managementinclude assets in the general and separate accounts of our subsidiaries that support liabilities and surplus related to our life and annuity insurance products and the notional value of stable value wrap contracts.
Base yield Net investment income excluding income from alternative investments and other enhancements, as a percentage of average base invested asset portfolio, which excludes alternative investments, other bond securities and certain other investments for which the fair value option has been elected.
Book
value per common share, excluding accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (AOCI) adjusted for the cumulative unrealized gains and losses related to Fortitude Re funds withheld assets and deferred tax assets (DTA) (Adjusted book value per common share) is a non-GAAP measure and is used to show the amount of our net worth on a per-common share basis. Adjusted book value per common share is derived by dividing total AIG common shareholders’ equity, excluding AOCI adjusted for the cumulative unrealized gains and losses related to Fortitude Re funds withheld assets and DTA (Adjusted common shareholders’ equity), by total common shares outstanding.

Credit Valuation Adjustment (CVA)/Non-Performance Risk Adjustment (NPA) The CVA/NPA adjusts the valuation of derivatives to account for nonperformance risk of our counterparty with respect to all net derivative assets positions. The CVA/NPA also accounts for our own credit risk in the fair value measurement of all derivative net liability positions and liabilities where AIG has elected the fair value option, when appropriate.
DAC Deferred
Policy Acquisition Costs Deferred costs that are incremental and directly related to the successful acquisition of new business or renewal of existing business.
DAC Related to Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) of Investments An adjustment to DAC and Reserves for investment-oriented products, equal to the change in DAC and unearned revenue amortization that would have been recorded if fixed maturity securities available for sale at fair value had been sold at their stated aggregate fair value and the proceeds reinvested at current yields. An adjustment to benefit reserves for investment-oriented products is also recognized to reflect the application of the benefit ratio to the accumulated assessments that would have been recorded if fixed maturity securities available for sale at fair value had been sold at their stated aggregate fair value and the proceeds reinvested
at current yields.
For long-duration traditional products, significant unrealized appreciation of investments in a sustained low interest rate environment may cause additional future policy benefit liabilities to be recorded.
Deferred
gain on retroactive reinsurance Retroactive reinsurance is a reinsurance contract in which an assuming entity agrees to reimburse a ceding entity for liabilities incurred as a result of past insurable events. If the amount of premium paid by the ceding reinsurer is less than the related ceded loss reserves, the resulting gain is deferred and amortized over the settlement period of the reserves. Any related development on the ceded loss reserves recoverable under the contract would increase the deferred gain if unfavorable, or decrease the deferred gain if favorable.

holders on certain annuity and investment contract products that meet the criteria to be deferred and amortized over the life of the contract.
Expense ratio Sum of acquisition expenses and general operating expenses, divided by net premiums earned.

Enterprise Risk Management.
ITEM 4 | Controls and Procedures
EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. In connection with the preparation of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, an evaluation
was carried out by American International Group, Inc. (AIG) management, with the participation of AIG’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act), as of September 30, 2023. Based on this evaluation, AIG’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2023.
CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
During the first quarter of 2023, AIG adopted Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Long-Duration Contracts (LDTI), which resulted in a change to our
recognition and measurement of long-duration contracts. In connection with the adoption of this standard, AIG changed processes, systems and controls related to certain of our long-duration contracts. Many of these controls are similar to those previously maintained under the historical GAAP framework but have been updated to reflect changes necessitated by the adoption of LDTI. There have been no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f)) that have occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
For
a discussion of legal proceedings, see Note 15 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, which is incorporated herein by reference.
