Insurance Policy and Claims Reserves

 

Insurance Policy and Claims Reserves represent liabilities for future insurance policy benefits.  Insurance reserves for traditional life insurance, annuities, and accident and health policies have been computed based upon mortality, morbidity, persistency, and interest rate assumptions (ranging from 2.0% to 9.0%, with a weighted average rate of 7.03%, for annuity products and 2.5% to 7.0%, with a weighted average interest rate of 3.51%, for life products) applicable to these coverages, including adverse deviation.  These assumptions consider Company experience and industry standards and may be revised if it is determined that future experience will differ substantially from that previously assumed.
