Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

Valuation Hierarchy: The Account’s fair value measurements are grouped into three levels, as defined by the FASB. The levels are defined as follows:

•Level 1 fair value inputs are quoted prices for identical items in active, liquid and visible markets such as stock exchanges.

•Level 2 fair value inputs are observable information for similar items in active or inactive markets, and appropriately consider counterparty creditworthiness in the valuations.

•Level 3 fair value inputs reflect our best estimate of inputs and assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability at the measurement date. The inputs are unobservable in the market and significant to the valuation estimate.

An asset or liability's categorization within the valuation hierarchy described above is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Real estate fund investments are excluded from the valuation hierarchy, as these investments are fair valued using their net asset value as a practical expedient since market quotations or values from independent pricing services are not readily available. See Note 1—Organization and Significant Accounting Policies of the Account's 2021 Form 10-K for further discussion regarding the use of a practical expedient for the valuation of real estate funds.

The following tables show the major categories of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, using unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1); significant other observable inputs (Level 2); and significant unobservable inputs (Level 3); and fair value using the practical expedient (millions):

(1) Equivalency Rate is defined as the prevailing market interest rate used to discount the contractual loan payments.

Real Estate Properties and Joint Ventures: The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Account’s real estate property and joint venture investments are the selection of certain investment rates (Discount Rate, Terminal Capitalization Rate, and Overall Capitalization Rate). Significant increases (decreases) in any of those inputs in isolation would result in significantly lower (higher) fair value measurements, respectively.

Real Estate Operating Business: The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Account's real estate operating business are the selection of certain investment rates and ratios (Discount Rate, Terminal Growth Rate, and EBITDA Multiple). Significant increases (decreases) in any of those inputs in isolation would result in significantly lower (higher) fair value measurements, respectively.

Loans Receivable: The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Account’s loans receivable are the loan to value ratios and the selection of certain credit spreads. Significant increases (decreases) in any of those inputs in isolation would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value, respectively.

Loans Payable: The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Account’s loans payable are the loan to value ratios and the selection of certain credit spreads and weighted average cost of capital risk premiums. Significant increases (decreases) in any of those inputs in isolation would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value, respectively.

Line of Credit and Other Unsecured Debt: The Account's line of credit and term loans are recorded at par as Management believes par approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of the credit facility.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, there were no transfers between Levels 1, 2 or 3.

The amount of total net unrealized gains (losses) included in changes in net assets relating to Level 3 investments and loans payable using significant unobservable inputs still held as of the reporting date is as follows (millions):
