Reinsurance

3 Months Ended

Mar. 31, 2024

Fortitude Re

Effective October 1, 2023, we entered into two reinsurance agreements with Fortitude Reinsurance Company Ltd. (“Fortitude Re”), an authorized Bermuda reinsurer with reciprocal jurisdiction reinsurer status in Indiana, to reinsure certain blocks of in-force UL with secondary guarantees (“ULSG”), MoneyGuard® and fixed annuity products, including group pension annuities. Fortitude Re represents our largest reinsurance exposure as of March 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023.

The first agreement was structured as a coinsurance treaty between us and Fortitude Re for the ULSG and fixed annuities blocks. As significant insurance risk was transferred for ULSG products and life-contingent annuities, amounts recoverable from Fortitude Re were $10.5 billion as of March 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023. We reported a deferred loss on the transaction of $2.7 billion as of March 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023. We amortized $22 million of the deferred loss during the three months ended March 31, 2024. Annuities that are not life-contingent do not contain significant insurance risk; therefore, we reported deposit assets for these contracts of $3.9 billion and $4.2 billion as of March 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, respectively.

The second agreement was structured as coinsurance with funds withheld for the MoneyGuard block; however, as we retained significant insurance risk under the agreement, we reported deposit assets of $7.8 billion as of March 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023. In this coinsurance with funds withheld reinsurance agreement, we as the ceding company withhold, and therefore retain, the assets backing the deposit assets. We held investments with a carrying value of $9.8 billion and $9.9 billion in support of reserves associated with the Fortitude Re transaction in a funds withheld arrangement as of March 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, respectively, which consisted of the following (in millions):
