[2]	Includes over-the-counter ("OTC") and OTC-cleared derivative instruments in a net positive fair value position after consideration of the accrued interest and impact of collateral posting requirements which may be imposed by agreements, clearing house rules and applicable law. See the following footnote 4 for derivative liabilities.

[3]

Approximately $2.5 billion and $1.8 billion of investment sales receivable, as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively, are excluded from this disclosure requirement because they are trade receivables in the ordinary course of business where the carrying amount approximates fair value. Included in the total fair value amount are $0.9 billion and $1.2 billion of investments, as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively, for which the fair value is estimated using the net asset value per unit as a practical expedient which are excluded from the disclosure requirement to classify amounts in the fair value hierarchy in connection with the adoption of ASU 2015-07, Disclosure for Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or its Equivalent), on January 1, 2016.


[4]	Includes OTC and OTC-cleared derivative instruments in a net negative fair value position (derivative liability) after consideration of the accrued interest and impact of collateral posting requirements, which may be imposed by agreements, clearing house rules and applicable law.


[5]	Represents hedge funds where investment company accounting was applied to a wholly-owned fund of funds measured at fair value. During 2016, the Company liquidated this fund of funds.

[1]	The weighted average is determined based on the fair value of the securities.


[2]	Conversely, the impact of a decrease in input would have the opposite impact to the fair value as that presented in the table.


[3]	Excludes securities for which the Company bases fair value on broker quotations; however, included are broker priced lower-rated private placement securities for which the Company receives spread and yield information to corroborate the fair value.


[4]	Decrease for above market rate coupons and increase for below market rate coupons.



	As of September 30, 2016
Significant Unobservable Input	Minimum	Maximum	Impact of Increase in Input on Fair Value Measurement [1]
Withdrawal Utilization [2]	20%	100%	Increase
Withdrawal Rates [3]	—%	8%	Increase
Lapse Rates [4]	—%	75%	Decrease

[1]	Conversely, the impact of a decrease in input would have the opposite impact to the fair value as that presented in the table.


[2]	Range represents assumed cumulative percentages of policyholders taking withdrawals.


[3]	Range represents assumed cumulative annual amount withdrawn by policyholders.


[4]	Range represents assumed annual percentages of full surrender of the underlying variable annuity contracts across all policy durations for in force business.


[5]	Range represents assumed cumulative percentages of policyholders that would elect to reset their guaranteed benefit base.


[6]	Range represents implied market volatilities for equity indices based on multiple pricing sources.

Generally a change in withdrawal utilization assumptions would be accompanied by a directionally opposite change in lapse rate assumptions, as the behavior of policyholders that utilize GMWB riders is typically different from policyholders that do not utilize these riders.

[1]	The Company classifies realized and unrealized gains and losses on GMWB reinsurance derivatives and GMWB embedded derivatives as unrealized gains (losses) for purposes of disclosure in this table because it is impracticable to track on a contract-by-contract basis the realized gains (losses) for these derivatives and embedded derivatives.


[2]	All amounts in these rows are reported in net realized capital gains (losses). The realized/unrealized gains (losses) included in net income for separate account assets are offset by an equal amount for separate account liabilities, which results in a net zero impact on net income for the Company. All amounts are before income taxes and amortization of DAC.


[3]	All amounts are before income taxes and amortization of DAC.


[4]	Transfers in and/or (out) of Level 3 are primarily attributable to the availability of market observable information and the re-evaluation of the observability of pricing inputs.


[5]	Derivative instruments are reported in this table on a net basis for asset/(liability) positions and reported in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet in other investments and other liabilities.


[6]	Includes both market and non-market impacts in deriving realized and unrealized gains (losses).


[7]	Amounts presented are for Level 3 only and therefore may not agree to other disclosures included herein.

Fair value of assets and liabilities accounted for using the fair value option

Fair Value Option

FVO investments include certain securities that contain embedded credit derivatives with underlying credit risk primarily related to residential and commercial real estate, for which the Company has elected the fair value option. The Company also classifies the underlying fixed maturities held in certain consolidated investment funds within the Fixed Maturities, FVO line on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company reports these consolidated investment companies at fair value with changes in the fair value of these securities recognized in net realized capital gains and losses, which is consistent with accounting requirements for investment companies. The investment funds hold fixed income securities in multiple sectors and the Company has management and control of the funds as well as a significant ownership interest.

The Company also elected the fair value option for certain equity securities in order to align the accounting with total return swap contracts that hedge the risk associated with the investments. The swaps do not qualify for hedge accounting and the change in value of both the equity securities and the total return swaps are recorded in net realized capital gains and losses. These equity securities are classified within equity securities, AFS on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of September 30, 2016, the Company no longer holds these investments. Income earned from FVO securities is recorded in net investment income and changes in fair value are recorded in net realized capital gains and losses.

The following table presents the changes in fair value of those assets and liabilities accounted for using the fair value option reported in net realized capital gains and losses in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

- Definition
