Current report

Further, in March 2026, the Life Actuarial (A) Task Force exposed proposed revisions to VM-22 relating to the reinvestment guardrail for pension risk transfer products, aimed at further refining reserve requirements. A key function of the proposal is to allow an additional 50 basis points of illiquidity spread in reinvestment assumptions. Changes to reserve requirements could impact pricing, reserving and reinsurance strategy for our pension risk transfer business, and we are actively monitoring developments associated with this initiative.

Current report

In addition to regulatory developments at the NAIC, we are also subject to accounting practices and standards prescribed and/or permitted by our domiciliary insurance regulators. In December 2025, the NAIC approved agenda item 2024-06: Risk Transfer Analysis of Combination Reinsurance Contracts in respect of SSAP No. 61 and Appendix A-791 (the “Adoption”), clarifying the treatment of combination treaties with interdependent features under statutory accounting for new and newly amended contracts effective immediately and for in-force contracts effective for the year ending December 31, 2026. In response, we received a statutory permitted accounting practice from the Texas Department of Insurance related to an existing reinsurance treaty that fell within the scope of the Adoption. The permitted accounting practice is effective December 31, 2026.

Actuarial Assumption Changes

Previous report

Most of the fixed annuities, fixed index annuities, registered index-linked annuities, variable annuities and universal life insurance products we offer maintain policyholder deposits that are reported as liabilities and classified within either separate account liabilities or policyholder contract deposits. Our products and riders also impact liabilities for future policyholder benefits and unearned revenues and assets for DAC and DSI. The valuation of these assets and liabilities (other than deposits) is based on differing accounting methods depending on the product, each of which requires numerous assumptions and considerable judgment. The accounting guidance applied in the valuation of these assets and liabilities includes, but is not limited to, the following: (i) traditional life and limited pay insurance products for which actual experience is reflected in the liability and assumptions are reviewed and updated at least annually, if necessary, with the recognition and parenthetical presentation of any resulting re-measurement gain or loss in policyholder benefits (except for discount rate changes) in the income statement; (ii) certain product guarantees for which benefit liabilities are accrued over the life of the contract in proportion to actual and future expected policy assessments; (iii) certain product guarantees reported as market risk benefits or index crediting features accounted for as embedded derivatives which are carried at fair value; and (iv) unearned revenue and assets for DAC, VOBA and DSI which are amortized on a constant level basis 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.

Previous report

At least annually, typically in the third quarter, we conduct a comprehensive review of the underlying assumptions within our actuarially determined assets and liabilities. These assumptions include, but are not limited to, policyholder behavior, mortality, expenses, investment returns and policy crediting rates. Changes in assumptions can result in a significant change to the carrying value of product liabilities and assets and, consequently, the impact could be material to earnings in the period of the change.

Previous report

For further details of our accounting policies and related judgments pertaining to assumption updates, see “Update of Actuarial Assumptions and Models”, herein and “Accounting Policies and Pronouncements—Critical Accounting Estimates—Market Risk Benefits, Valuation of Embedded Derivatives for Fixed Index Annuity, Registered Index-Linked Annuity and Index Universal Life Products, Guaranteed Benefit Features of Variable Annuity, Fixed Annuity and Fixed Index Annuity Products, and Future Policy Benefits for Life, Accident and Health Insurance Contracts” in the 2024 Form 10-K.

Previous report

For example, on April 25, 2024, the Department of Labor (“DOL”) published a final rule in the Federal Register updating the definition for when a person is an “investment advice fiduciary” for purposes of transactions with ERISA qualified plans, related plan participants and IRAs. The DOL also published changes with respect to existing prohibited transactions exemptions (“PTEs”) relating to such advice, including PTE 84-24 and PTE 2020-02. Orders staying the rule’s September 23, 2024 effective date were issued by the U.S. District Courts for the Eastern District of Texas and the Northern District of Texas on July 25, 2024 and July 26, 2024, respectively, in connection with separate lawsuits challenging the rule. On December 20, 2024, DOL filed a consolidated opening brief, appealing these two orders to the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. Since filing this appeal, DOL has asked the Fifth Circuit to hold the case in abeyance on multiple occasions. The matter is currently stayed and we are actively monitoring the progress of the litigation while continuing to evaluate potential impact of the DOL rule to our business.

Effective August 1, 2025, AGL entered into a coinsurance and modco reinsurance agreement with CSLR to reinsure 100% of its in-force and newly issued individual variable annuity contracts. As of the effective date of this agreement, AGL transferred to the reinsurer $1.9 billion of assets primarily consisting of fixed maturity securities supporting the general account liabilities net of a ceding commission. Additionally, $45.1 billion of separate account liabilities were ceded under the modco portion of the agreement.

Current wording

On August 1, 2025 and January 2, 2026, respectively, AGL and USL entered into a coinsurance and modco reinsurance agreement with CSLR to reinsure 100% of their individual variable annuity contracts. Under these agreements, AGL and USL transferred to the reinsurer $2.1 billion of assets primarily consisting of fixed maturity securities supporting the general account liabilities net of a ceding commission. Additionally, $48.7 billion of separate account liabilities were ceded under the modco portion of the agreement. In addition, the closing of the sale to Venerable of all outstanding membership interests of SAAMCo held by AGL occurred on January 1, 2026.

Previous wording

Our net income experiences ongoing volatility as a result of the reinsurance agreements and gives rise to a funds withheld payable that contains an embedded derivative. However, this net income volatility is almost entirely offset with a corresponding change in OCI, which reflects the fair value change from the investment portfolio supporting the funds withheld payable, which is primarily available-for-sale securities, resulting in minimal impact to our comprehensive income (loss) and equity attributable to Corebridge. The Company has also elected the fair value option on the acquisition of certain new fixed maturity securities, helping reduce the mismatch over time. VALIC’s modco agreement with Fortitude Re was recaptured effective January 1, 2025, resulting in a $45 million charge to pre-tax earnings. As of September 30, 2025, $24.6 billion of reserves had been ceded to Fortitude Re.

Previous wording

Fixed index annuity and registered index-linked annuity contracts contain index interest credits which are accounted for as embedded derivatives and our index universal life insurance products also contain embedded derivatives. In contrast to fixed index annuity contracts, registered index-linked annuity contract owners also accept limited exposure to negative index interest credits in return for higher potential positive index credits. Policyholders may elect to rebalance among the various crediting strategies 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.

Our business is affected by industry and economic factors such as changes in interest rates and credit spreads; geopolitical tensions (including theongoing armed conflicts between Ukraine and Russia and in the Middle East); credit and equity market conditions; currency exchange rates; regulation; tax policy; competition; trade disputes with other countries, including the effect of sanctions and trade restrictions, such as tariffs and trade barriers imposed by the U.S. government and any countermeasures by other governments in response to such tariffs; and general economic, market and political conditions. We continued to operate under market conditions in 2025 and 2024 characterized by factors such as higher 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.

Our financial results are impacted by the performance of equity markets, which impacts the performance of our alternative investment portfolio, fee income, MRBs and embedded derivatives. 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 investment portfolio.

Our 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 volatility index (“VIX”). As rebalancing and option costs increase or decrease, the rider fees will increase or decrease partially offsetting the hedging costs incurred.

Fluctuations in interest rates may result in changes to certain statutory reserve or capital requirements that are based on formulas or models that consider interest rates or prescribed interest rates, such as cash flow testing. Rising interest rates can have a mixed impact on statutory financials due to higher surrender activity, particularly for fixed annuities, offset by potentially lower reserves for other products under various statutory reserving frameworks.

In February 2025, the NAIC announced the creation of a new Risk-Based Capital Model Governance (EX) Task Force as part of its efforts to update and strengthen the governance framework around risk-based capital requirements. The task force will consider changes to risk-based capital formulas used by insurance companies as a measure of solvency and conduct a gap-analysis to identify areas for improvement. In an interim meeting, the task force exposed a set of risk-based capital guiding principles and is seeking feedback. The work of the task force is ongoing and could result in changes to risk-based capital requirements and calculations in the future, which could affect our capital planning, investment strategies, reporting obligations and permitted disclosures. We are actively monitoring developments associated with this NAIC initiative and its potential impacts on our life insurance subsidiaries.

Current wording

For example, the Risk-Based Capital (“RBC”) framework and RBC charges and treatment applicable to our U.S. life insurance subsidiaries have been a subject of focus for regulators in recent years. In February 2025, the NAIC announced the creation of a new Risk-Based Capital Model Governance (EX) Task Force (“Task Force”) as part of its efforts to update and strengthen the governance framework around RBC requirements. The Task Force adopted governing principles in December 2025 and soon after began a comprehensive gap analysis and consistency assessment of the existing RBC framework to identify potential issues. The work of the Task Force is ongoing and could result in changes to RBC requirements and calculations in the future, which could affect our capital planning, investment strategies, reporting obligations and permitted disclosures. Relatedly, the inaugural meeting of the Invested Assets (E) Task Force took place in March 2026. It was established for the purpose of better understanding investment products with characteristics that pose unique risks to insurers and developing investment-related solvency policy changes. The task force’s work results in changes to accounting policies and RBC requirements. We are actively monitoring developments associated with these RBC-related NAIC initiatives and their potential impacts on our life insurance subsidiaries.

Previous wording

In June 2025 the Life Actuarial Task Force adopted updates to actuarial guidelines intended to enhance asset adequacy analysis for asset-intensive, life insurance and annuity reinsurance treaties above certain thresholds, and on August 13, 2025, the NAIC Executive and Plenary adopted such guidelines, referred to as Actuarial Guideline LV (“AG 55”). The updated guidelines are designed as a testing and disclosure regime. The first reinsurance asset testing reports will be due in April 2026. In addition, the NAIC plans to review the disclosures following adoption of the guidelines to identify concerns with insurers’ approaches to asset adequacy testing, with the possibility of making additional changes that could lead to higher reserves for certain reinsurance agreements. We are actively monitoring developments associated with this NAIC initiative, which may be applicable to certain transactions that involve our life insurance subsidiaries acting as cedants. In July 2025, the NAIC also determined to reorganize a task force, the Invested Assets (E) Task Force, for the purpose of better understanding investment products with characteristics that pose unique risks to insurers and developing investment-related solvency policy changes. The task force will be effective in January 2026. The task force’s work covered results in changes to accounting policies and risk-based capital requirements, and we will continue to monitor developments that may be relevant to our life insurance subsidiaries.

Adjusted Book Valueis derived by excluding AOCI, adjusted for the cumulative unrealized gains and losses related to Fortitude Re’s funds withheld assets. We believe this measure is useful to investors as it eliminates the asymmetrical impact resulting from changes in fair value of our available-for-sale securities portfolio for which there is largely no offsetting impact for certain related insurance liabilities that are not recorded at fair value with changes in fair value recorded through OCI. It also eliminates asymmetrical impacts where our own credit non-performance risk is recorded through OCI. In addition, we adjust for the cumulative unrealized gains and losses related to Fortitude Re’s funds withheld assets since these fair value movements are economically transferred to Fortitude Re.
