Other Policyholders' Funds Policy

Other policyholders’ funds represent interest-bearing liabilities arising from the sale of products, such as universal life, interest-sensitive life and annuities.  Policyholder funds are primarily comprised of deposits received and interest credited to the benefit of the policyholder less surrenders and withdrawals, mortality charges and administrative expenses. 

 

Interest credited to policyholder funds represents interest accrued or paid on interest-sensitive life policies and investment policies.  These amounts are reported in insurance benefits, claims and reserves on the Consolidated Statements of Income.  Credit rates for certain annuities and interest-sensitive life policies are adjusted periodically by the Company to reflect current market conditions, subject to contractually guaranteed minimum rates.
