Insurance Liabilities | FUTURE POLICY BENEFITS Future policy benefits primarily include reserves for traditional life and annuity payout contracts, which represent an estimate of the present value of future benefits less the present value of future net premiums. Included in Future policy benefits are liabilities for annuities issued in structured settlement arrangements whereby a claimant receives life contingent payments over their lifetime. Also included are pension risk transfer arrangements whereby an upfront premium is received in exchange for guaranteed retirement benefits. All payments under these arrangements are fixed and determinable with respect to their amounts and dates. Prior to the adoption of the Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Long-Duration Contracts Standard Future policy benefits for traditional and limited pay contracts were reserved using actuarial assumptions locked-in at contract issuance. These assumptions were only updated when a loss recognition event occurred. Also included in Future policy benefits, were reserves for contracts in loss recognition, including the adjustment to reflect the effect of unrealized gains on fixed maturity securities available for sale with related changes recognized through OCI. Future policy benefits also included certain guaranteed benefits of annuity products that were not considered embedded derivatives. Subsequent to the adoption of the Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Long-Duration Contracts Standard For traditional and limited pay long-duration products, benefit reserves are accrued and benefit expense is recognized using a net premium reserve (“NPR”) methodology for each annual cohort of business. This NPR method incorporates periodic retrospective revisions to the NPR to reflect updated actuarial assumptions and variances in actual versus expected experience. The Future policy benefit liability is accrued by multiplying the gross premium recognized in each period by the net premium ratio. The net premium is equal to the portion of the gross premium required to provide for all benefits and certain expenses and may not exceed 100%. Benefits in excess of premiums are expensed immediately through Policyholder benefits. In addition, periodic revisions to the NPR below 100% may result in reclassification between the benefit reserves and deferred profit liability for limited pay contracts. Insurance contracts are aggregated into annual cohorts for the purposes of determining the Liability for future policy benefits (“LFPB”), but are not aggregated across segments. These annual cohorts may be further segregated based on product characteristics, or to distinguish business reinsured from non-reinsured business or products issued in different functional currencies. The assumptions used to calculate the future policy benefits include discount rates, persistency and recognized morbidity and mortality tables modified to reflect the Company's experience. The current discount rate assumption for the liability for future policy benefits is derived from market observable yields on upper-medium-grade fixed income instruments. The Company uses an external index as the source of the yields on these instruments for the first 30 years. For years 30 to 50, the yield is derived using market observable credit spreads. Yields for years 50 to 100 are extrapolated using a flat forward approach, maintaining a constant forward spread through the period. The current discount rate assumption is updated quarterly and used to remeasure the liability at the reporting date, with the resulting change in the discount rate reflected in OCI. The method for constructing and applying the locked-in discount rate assumptions on newly issued business is determined based on factors such as product characteristics and the expected timing of cash flows. This discount rate assumption is derived from market observable yields on upper-medium-grade fixed income instruments. Similar to the current discount rate assumption, the Company may employ conversion and interpolation methodologies when necessary. The applicable interest accretion is reflected in Policyholder benefits in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss). The following table presents the transition rollforward of the liability for future policy benefits for nonparticipating contracts: Individual Group Life Institutional Corporate and Other Total (in millions) Pre-adoption December 31, 2020 liability for future policy benefits balance $ 1,309 $ 282 $ 11,129 $ 11,029 $ 22,206 $ 45,955 Adjustments for the reclassification to the deferred profit liability (65) (8) — (766) (859) (1,698) Change in cash flow assumptions and effect of net premiums exceeding gross premiums (14) 2 16 4 55 63 Effect of the remeasurement of the liability at a current single A rate 156 63 2,977 1,655 7,611 12,462 Adjustment for the removal of loss recognition balances related to unrealized gain or loss on securities and other (63) (60) 4 (292) — (411) Post-adoption January 1, 2021 liability for future policy benefits balance $ 1,323 $ 279 $ 14,126 $ 11,630 $ 29,013 $ 56,371 Adjustments for the reclassification between the liability for future policy benefits and deferred profit liability represent changes in the net premium ratios that are less than 100% at transition for certain limited pay cohorts, resulting in a reclassification between the two liabilities, with no impact on Retained earnings. Adjustments for changes in cash flow assumptions represents revised net premium ratios in excess of 100% for certain cohorts at transition, with an offset to Retained earnings. Prior to adoption, loss recognition for traditional products was adjusted for the effect of unrealized gains on fixed maturity securities available for sale. At the transition date, these adjustments were removed with a corresponding offset in AOCI. The effect of the remeasurement at the current single A rate is reported at the transition date and each subsequent balance sheet date, with an offset in AOCI.

For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 in the traditional term life insurance block, capping of net premium ratios at 100% causes our reserves to be higher by $25 million and $14 million, respectively.

Deferred Profit Liability: Corebridge issues certain annuity and life insurance contracts where premiums are paid up-front or for a shorter period than benefits will be paid (i.e., limited pay contracts). A DPL is required to be established to avoid recognition of gains when these contracts are issued. DPLs are amortized over the life of the contracts to align the revenue recognized with the related benefit expenses. The DPL is amortized in a constant relationship to the amount of discounted insurance in force for life insurance or expected future benefit payments for annuity contracts over the term of the contract. Prior to the adoption of the Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Long-Duration Contracts Standard Limited pay contracts were subject to a lock-in concept and assumptions derived at policy issue were not subsequently updated unless a loss recognition event occurred. The net premiums were recorded as revenue. The difference between the gross premium received and the net premium was deferred and recognized in premiums in a constant relationship to insurance in-force, or for annuities, the amount of expected future policy benefits. This unearned revenue (deferred profit) was recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets in Other policyholder funds. Subsequent to the adoption of the Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Long-Duration Contracts Standard The difference between the gross premium received and recorded as revenue and the net premium is deferred and recognized in Policyholder benefits in a constant relationship to insurance in-force, or for annuities, the amount of expected future policy benefits. This deferred profit liability accretes interest and is recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets in Future policy benefits. Cash flow assumptions included in the measurement of the DPL are the same as those utilized in the respective LFPBs and are reviewed at least annually. The cash flow estimates for DPLs are updated on a retrospective catch-up basis at the same time as the cash flow estimates for the related LFPBs. The updated LFPB cash flows are used to recalculate the DPL at the inception of the applicable related LFPB cohort. The difference between the recalculated DPL at the beginning of the current reporting period and the carrying amount of the DPL at the current reporting period is recognized as a gain or loss in Policyholder benefits in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss). The following table presents the transition rollforward for deferred profit liability for long-duration contracts: Individual Group Life Institutional Corporate and Other Total (in millions) Pre-adoption December 31, 2020 deferred profit liability balance $ 2 $ — $ 5 $ 64 $ — $ 71 Adjustments for the reclassification from/(to) the liability for the future policy benefits 65 8 — 766 859 1,698 Post-adoption January 1, 2021 deferred profit liability balance $ 67 $ 8 $ 5 $ 830 $ 859 $ 1,769 Adjustments for the reclassification between the liability for future policy benefits and deferred profit liability represent changes in the net premium ratios that are less than 100% at transition for certain limited pay cohorts, resulting in a reclassification between the two liabilities, with no impact on retained earnings. Additional Liabilities: For universal-life type products, insurance benefits in excess of the account balance are generally recognized as expenses in the period incurred unless the design of the product is such that future charges are insufficient to cover the benefits, in which case an “additional liability” is accrued over the life of the contract. These additional liabilities are included in Future policy benefits for life and accident and health insurance contracts in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Prior to the adoption of the standard, our additional liabilities consisted primarily of GMDBs on annuities, as well as universal-life contracts with secondary guarantees. Subsequent to the adoption of this standard, the GMDBs have been reclassified and reported as MRBs, while the universal-life contracts with secondary guarantees continue to be reported as additional liabilities. The following table presents the transition rollforward of the additional liabilities: Individual Group Life Corporate and Other Total (in millions) Pre-adoption December 31, 2020 additional liabilities $ 1,391 $ 219 $ 5,117 $ 55 $ 6,782 Adjustment for the reclassification of additional liabilities from Future policy benefits to Market risk benefits (a) (875) (130) — — (1,005) Adjustment for removal of related balances in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) originating from unrealized gains (losses) (b) (516) (89) — — (605) Post-adoption January 1, 2021 additional liabilities $ — $ — $ 5,117 $ 55 $ 5,172 __________________ (a) Adjustments for the reclassification of additional liabilities from Future policy benefits to MRBs represent contract guarantees (e.g., GMDBs) that were previously classified as insurance liabilities within Future policy benefits, but have been reclassified as MRBs as of January 1, 2021. For additional information on the transition impacts associated with LDTI, see Note 13. (b) Adjustments for the removal of related balances in AOCI originating from unrealized gains (losses) relate to the additional liabilities reclassified from Future policy benefits in the line above. Post-adoption, our additional liabilities primarily consist of universal life policies with secondary guarantees and these additional liabilities are recognized in addition to the Policyholder account balances. For universal life policies with secondary guarantees, as well as other universal life policies for which profits followed by losses are expected at contract inception, a liability is recognized based on a benefit ratio of (a) the present value of total expected payments, in excess of the account value, over the life of the contract, divided by (b) the present value of total expected assessments over the life of the contract. For universal life policies without secondary guarantees, for which profits followed by losses are first expected after contract inception, we establish a liability, in addition to policyholder account balances, so that expected future losses are recognized in proportion to the emergence of profits in the earlier (profitable) years. Universal life account balances are reported within Policyholder contract deposits, while these additional liabilities are reported within the liability for future policy benefits in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. These additional liabilities are also adjusted to reflect the effect of unrealized gains or losses on fixed maturity securities available for sale on accumulated assessments, with related changes recognized through OCI. The policyholder behavior assumptions for these liabilities include mortality, lapses and premium persistency. The capital market assumptions used for the liability for universal life secondary guarantees include discount rates and net earned rates. The following table presents the balances and changes in the liability for universal life policies with secondary guarantees and similar features: Three Months Ended March 31, 2023 Three Months Ended March 31, 2022 Life Corporate and Other Total Life Corporate and Other Total (in millions, except duration of liability) Balance, beginning of year (a) $ 3,300 $ 55 $ 3,355 $ 4,952 $ 55 $ 5,007 Effect of changes in experience 74 (1) 73 108 (1) 107 Adjusted beginning balance $ 3,374 $ 54 $ 3,428 $ 5,060 $ 54 $ 5,114 Assessments 179 — 179 168 — 168 Excess benefits paid (238) — (238) (290) — (290) Interest accrual 28 1 29 34 1 35 Other (5) — (5) (7) — (7) Changes related to unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments 119 — 119 (797) — (797) Balance, end of period $ 3,457 $ 55 $ 3,512 $ 4,168 $ 55 $ 4,223 Less: Reinsurance recoverable (192) — (192) (198) — (198) Balance, end of period net of Reinsurance recoverable $ 3,265 $ 55 $ 3,320 $ 3,970 $ 55 $ 4,025 Weighted average duration of liability (b) 26.4 9.4 27.1 9.8 __________________ (a) Adjustments for the reclassifications between the liability for universal life policies with secondary guarantees and similar features and MRBs can be found in the MRBs transition table.

Deposits collected on investment-oriented products are not reflected as revenues. They are recorded directly to Policyholder contract deposits upon receipt. Amounts assessed against the contract holders for mortality, administrative, and other services are included as Policy fees in revenues. In addition to liabilities for universal life, fixed annuities, fixed options within variable annuities, annuities without life contingencies, funding agreements and GICs, policyholder contract deposits also include our liability for (i) index features accounted for as embedded derivatives at fair value, (ii) annuities issued in a structured settlement arrangement with no life contingency and (iii) certain contracts we have elected to account for at fair value. Changes in the fair value of the embedded derivatives related to policy index features and the fair value of derivatives hedging these liabilities are recognized in realized gains and losses.

OTHER POLICYHOLDER FUNDS Other policyholder funds include URR, consist | Insurance Liabilities FUTURE POLICY BENEFITS Future policy benefits primarily include reserves for traditional life and annuity payout contracts, which represent an estimate of the present value of future benefits less the present value of future net premiums. Included in Future policy benefits are liabilities for annuities issued in structured settlement arrangements whereby a claimant receives life contingent payments over their lifetime. Also included are pension risk transfer arrangements whereby an upfront premium is received in exchange for guaranteed retirement benefits. All payments under these arrangements are fixed and determinable with respect to their amounts and dates. Prior to the adoption of the Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Long-Duration Contracts Standard Future policy benefits for traditional and limited pay contracts were reserved using actuarial assumptions locked-in at contract issuance. These assumptions were only updated when a loss recognition event occurred. Also included in Future policy benefits, were reserves for contracts in loss recognition, including the adjustment to reflect the effect of unrealized gains on fixed maturity securities available for sale with related changes recognized through Other comprehensive income (loss). Future policy benefits also included certain guaranteed benefits of annuity products that were not considered embedded derivatives. Subsequent to the adoption of the Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Long-Duration Contracts Standard For traditional and limited pay long-duration products, benefit reserves are accrued and benefit expense is recognized using a NPR methodology for each annual cohort of business. This NPR method incorporates periodic retrospective revisions to the NPR to reflect updated actuarial assumptions and variances in actual versus expected experience. The Future policy benefit liability is accrued by multiplying the gross premium recognized in each period by the NPR. The net premium is equal to the portion of the gross premium required to provide for all benefits and certain expenses and may not exceed 100%. Benefits in excess of premiums are expensed immediately through Policyholder benefits. In addition, periodic revisions to the NPR below 100% may result in reclassification between the benefit reserves and deferred profit liability for limited pay contracts. Insurance contracts are aggregated into annual cohorts for the purposes of determining the Liability for future policy benefits (“LFPB”), but are not aggregated across segments. These annual cohorts may be further segregated based on product characteristics, or to distinguish business reinsured from non-reinsured business or products issued in different functional currencies. The assumptions used to calculate the future policy benefits include discount rates, persistency and recognized morbidity and mortality tables modified to reflect the Company's experience. The current discount rate assumption for the liability for future policy benefits is derived from market observable yields on upper-medium-grade fixed income instruments. The Company uses an external index as the source of the yields on these instruments for the first 30 years. For years 30 to 50, the yield is derived using market observable yields. Yields for years 50 to 100 are extrapolated using a flat forward approach, maintaining a constant forward spread through the period. The current discount rate assumption is updated quarterly and used to remeasure the liability at the reporting date, with the resulting change in the discount rate reflected in AOCI. The method for constructing and applying the locked-in discount rate assumptions on newly issued business is determined based on factors such as product characteristics and the expected timing of cash flows. This discount rate assumption is derived from market observable yields on upper-medium-grade fixed income instruments. Similar to the current discount rate assumption, the Company may employ conversion and interpolation methodologies when necessary. The applicable interest accretion is reflected in Policyholder benefits in the Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss). The following table presents the transition rollforward of the liability for future policy benefits for nonparticipating contracts: Individual Group Life Institutional Corporate and Other Total (in millions) Pre-adoption December 31, 2020 liability for future policy benefits balance $ 1,309 $ 282 $ 11,129 $ 11,029 $ 22,206 $ 45,955 Adjustments for the reclassification to the deferred profit liability (65) (8) — (766) (859) (1,698) Change in cash flow assumptions and effect of net premiums exceeding gross premiums (14) 2 16 4 55 63 Effect of the remeasurement of the liability at a current single A rate 156 63 2,977 1,655 7,611 12,462 Adjustment for the removal of loss recognition balances related to unrealized gain or loss on securities and other (63) (60) 4 (292) — (411) Post-adoption January 1, 2021 liability for future policy benefits balance $ 1,323 $ 279 $ 14,126 $ 11,630 $ 29,013 $ 56,371 Adjustments for the reclassification between the liability for future policy benefits and deferred profit liability represent changes in the NPRs that are less than 100% at transition for certain limited pay cohorts, resulting in a reclassification between the two liabilities, with no impact on Retained earnings. Adjustments for changes in cash flow assumptions represents revised NPRs in excess of 100% for certain cohorts at transition, with an offset to Retained earnings. The effect of the remeasurement at the current single A rate is reported at the transition date and each subsequent balance sheet date, with an offset in AOCI. Prior to adoption, loss recognition for traditional products was adjusted for the effect of unrealized gains on fixed maturity securities available for sale. At the transition date, these adjustments were removed with a corresponding offset in AOCI.

For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 in the traditional term life insurance block, capping of NPRs at 100% causes our reserves to be higher by $26 million and $15 million, respectively. The discount rate was updated based on market observable information. Relative to prior period, the increase in upper-medium-grade fixed income yields resulted in a decrease in the liability for future policy benefits.

Actuarial Assumption Updates for Liability for Future Policy Benefits Corebridge undertook a review of all significant assumptions in 2022, 2021, and 2020. Corebridge recognized a $7 million favorable (mostly offset by corresponding DPL adjustment), $25 million unfavorable, and $0 impact in net income for 2022, 2021, and 2020, respectively, attributable to the annual actuarial assumption review. For 2022, the impact was due to updates to mortality and retirement assumption on certain pension risk transfer products. For 2021, the impact was mainly due to updated mortality on Traditional Life products. Assumptions left unchanged were deemed to be consistent with management’s best estimate at the time of the review. Deferred Profit Liability : Corebridge issues certain annuity and life insurance contracts where premiums are paid up-front or for a shorter period than benefits will be paid (i.e., limited pay contracts). A DPL is required to be established to avoid recognition of gains when these contracts are issued. DPLs are amortized over the life of the contracts to align the revenue recognized with the related benefit expenses. The DPL is amortized in a constant relationship to the amount of discounted insurance in force for life insurance or expected future benefit payments for annuity contracts over the term of the contract. Prior to the adoption of the Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Long-Duration Contracts Standard Limited pay contracts were subject to a lock-in concept and assumptions derived at policy issue were not subsequently updated unless a loss recognition event occurred. The net premiums were recorded as revenue. The difference between the gross premium received and the net premium was deferred and recognized in premiums in a constant relationship to insurance in-force, or for annuities, the amount of expected future policy benefits. This unearned revenue (deferred profit) was recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets in Other policyholder funds. Subsequent to the adoption of the Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Long-Duration Contracts Standard The difference between the gross premium received and recorded as revenue and the net premium is deferred and recognized in Policyholder benefits in a constant relationship to insurance in-force, or for annuities, the amount of expected future policy benefits. This deferred profit liability accretes interest and is recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets in Future policy benefits. Cash flow assumptions included in the measurement of the DPL are the same as those utilized in the respective LFPBs and are reviewed at least annually. The cash flow estimates for DPLs are updated on a retrospective catch-up basis at the same time as the cash flow estimates for the related LFPBs. The updated LFPB cash flows are used to recalculate the DPL at the inception of the applicable related LFPB cohort. The difference between the recalculated DPL at the beginning of the current reporting period and the carrying amount of the DPL at the current reporting period is recognized as a gain or loss in Policyholder benefits in the Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss). The following table presents the transition rollforward for deferred profit liability for long-duration contracts: Individual Group Life Institutional Corporate and Other Total (in millions) Pre-adoption December 31, 2020 deferred profit liability balance $ 2 $ — $ 5 $ 64 $ — $ 71 Adjustments for the reclassification from/(to) the liability for the future policy benefits 65 8 — 766 859 1,698 Post-adoption January 1, 2021 deferred profit liability balance $ 67 $ 8 $ 5 $ 830 $ 859 $ 1,769 Adjustments for the reclassification between the liability for future policy benefits and deferred profit liability represent changes in the NPRs that are less than 100% at transition for certain limited pay cohorts, resulting in a reclassification between the two liabilities, with no impact on retained earnings. The following table presents the transition rollforward of the additional liabilities: Individual Group Life Corporate and Other Total (in millions) Pre-adoption December 31, 2020 additional liabilities $ 1,391 $ 219 $ 5,117 $ 55 $ 6,782 Adjustment for the reclassification of additional liabilities from Future policy benefits to Market risk benefits (a) (875) (130) — — (1,005) Adjustment for removal of related balances in Accumulated other comprehensive income originating from unrealized gains (losses) (b) (516) (89) — — (605) Post-adoption January 1, 2021 additional liabilities $ — $ — $ 5,117 $ 55 $ 5,172 __________________ (a) Adjustments for the reclassification of additional liabilities from Future policy benefits to MRBs represent contract guarantees (e.g., GMDBs) that were previously classified as insurance liabilities within Future policy benefits, but have been reclassified as MRBs as of January 1, 2021. Refer to Note 13 for additional information on the transition impacts associated with LDTI. (b) Adjustments for the removal of related balances in AOCI originating from unrealized gains (losses) relate to the additional liabilities reclassified from Future policy benefits in the line above. Post-adoption, our additional liabilities primarily consist of universal life policies with secondary guarantees and these additional liabilities are recognized in addition to the Policyholder account balances. For universal life policies with secondary guarantees, as well as other universal life policies for which profits followed by losses are expected at contract inception, a liability is recognized based on a benefit ratio of (a) the present value of total expected payments, in excess of the account value, over the life of the contract, divided by (b) the present value of total expected assessments over the life of the contract. For universal life policies without secondary guarantees, for which profits followed by losses are first expected after contract inception, we establish a liability, in addition to policyholder account balances, so that expected future losses are recognized in proportion to the emergence of profits in the earlier (profitable) years. Universal life account balances are reported within Policyholder contract deposits, while these additional liabilities are reported within the liability for future policy benefits in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. These additional liabilities are also adjusted to reflect the effect of unrealized gains or losses on fixed maturity securities available for sale on accumulated assessments, with related changes recognized through Other comprehensive income. The policyholder behavior assumptions for these liabilities include mortality, lapses and premium persistency. The capital market assumptions used for the liability for universal life secondary guarantees include discount rates and net earned rates. The following table presents the balances and changes in the liability for universal life policies: Year Ended December 31, 2022 Year Ended December 31, 2021 (in millions, except weighted average duration of liability ) Life Corporate and Other Total Life Corporate and Other Total Balance, beginning of year $ 4,952 $ 55 $ 5,007 $ 5,117 $ 55 $ 5,172 Effect of changes in assumptions (24) — (24) (116) — (116) Effect of changes in experience 303 (4) 299 331 (4) 327 Adjusted beginning balance $ 5,231 $ 51 $ 5,282 $ 5,332 $ 51 $ 5,383 Assessments 687 2 689 669 2 671 Excess benefits paid (909) — (909) (859) — (859) Interest accrual 126 2 128 136 2 138 Other (11) — (11) 24 — 24 Changes related to unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments (1,824) — (1,824) (350) — (350) Balance, end of year $ 3,300 $ 55 $ 3,355 $ 4,952 $ 55 $ 5,007 Less: Reinsurance recoverable (191) — (191) (200) — (200) Balance, end of period net of Reinsurance recoverable $ 3,109 $ 55 $ 3,164 $ 4,752 $ 55 $ 4,807 Weighted average duration of liability* 26.3 9.5 27.1 9.8 __________________ * The weighted average duration of liability is calculated as the modified duration using projected future net liability cashflows that are aggregated at the segment level, utilizing the segment level weighted average interest rates, which can be found in the table below. The following table presents the amount of revenue and interest recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Income (Loss) for the liability for universal life policies with secondary guarantees and similar features: Gross Assessments Interest Accretion Year Ended December 31, (in millions) 2022 2021 2022 2021 Life Insurance $ 1,193 $ 1,187 $ 126 $ 136 Corporate and Other 39 39 2 2 Total $ 1,232 $ 1,226 $ 128 $ 138 The following table presents the calculation of weighted average interest rate for the liability for universal life policies with secondary guarantees and similar features: December 31, 2022 2021 Life Corporate and Other Life Corporate and Other Weighted-average interest rate 3.76 % 4.24 % 3.74 % 4.21 % The weighted average interest rates are calculated using projected future net liability cash flows that are aggregated to the segment level, and are represented as an annual rate. The following table presents details concerning our universal life policies with secondary guarantees and similar features: Years Ended December 31, (in millions, except for attained age of contract holders) 2022 2021 Account value $ 3,514 $ 3,313 Net amount at risk $ 69,335 $ 65,801 Average attained age of contract holders 53 53 Corebridge undertook a review of all significant assumptions in 2022, 2021, and 2020. Corebridge recognized a $24 million favorable, $117 million favorable, and $251 million unfavorable impact in net income for 2022, 2021, and 2020, respectively, attributable to the annual actuarial assumption review. For 2022, the impacts were due to modeling refinements to reflect actual versus expected asset data related to calls and capital gains. For 2021, the impacts were primarily due to the update in the reserving methodology, partially offset by assumption updates to mortality. Assumptions left unchanged were deemed to be consistent with management’s best estimate at the time of the review. For 2020, the impacts were driven by assumption updates to mortality. POLICYHOLDER CONTRACT DEPOSITS The liability for Policyholder contract deposits is primarily recorded at accumulated value (deposits received and net transfers from separate accounts, plus accrued interest credited at rates ranging from 0.0% to 9.0% at December 31, 2022, less withdrawals and assessed fees). Deposits collected on investment-oriented products are not reflected as revenues. They are recorded directly to Policyholder contract deposits upon receipt. Amounts assessed against the contract holders for mortality, administrative, and other services are included as Policy fees in revenues. In addition to liabilities for universal life, fixed annuities, fixed options within variable annuities, annuities without life contingencies, funding agreements and GICs, policyholder contract deposits also include our liability for (i) index features accounted for as embedded derivatives at fair value, (ii) annuities issued in a structured settlement arrangement with no life contingency and (iii) certain contracts we have elected to account for at fair value. Changes in the fair value of the embedded derivatives related to policy index features and the fair value of derivatives hedging these liabilities are recognized in realized gains and losses. For additional information on index credits accounted for as embedded derivatives, see Note 4.

(b) Reconciling items principally relate to MRBs that are bifurcated and reported separately, net of embedded derivatives that are recorded in PCD. (c) Cash surrender value is related to the portion of policyholder contract deposits that have a defined cash surrender value (e.g. GICs, do not have a cash surrender value). For information related to net amount at risk, refer to the table that presents the balances of and changes in MRBs in Note 13.
