PLC is a wholly owned subsidiary of Dai-ichi Life Holdings, Inc., a kabushiki kaisha (“Dai-ichi Life”). The Company markets individual life insurance, guaranteed investment contracts, guaranteed funding agreements, fixed and variable annuities, and extended service contracts throughout the United States. The Company also maintains a separate segment devoted to the acquisition of insurance policies from other companies. PLC is a holding company with subsidiaries that provide financial services through the production, distribution, and administration of insurance and investment products. These consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for the interim periods presented herein. In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring items) necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2021. The year-end consolidated condensed financial data included herein was derived from audited financial statements but this report does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. The operating results of companies in the insurance industry have historically been subject to significant fluctuations due to changing competition, economic conditions, interest rates, investment performance, insurance ratings, claims, persistency, and other factors. Shades Creek Captive Insurance Company (“Shades Creek”) was a direct wholly owned insurance subsidiary of PLC through December 31, 2020. On January 1, 2021, Shades Creek was merged with and into the Company, with the Company being the surviving entity. The Company accounted for the transaction pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805-50 “Transactions between Entities under Common Control”. The transferred assets and liabilities of Shades Creek were recorded by the Company at their carrying value at the date of transfer. In accordance with ASC 805-50, all prior financial information has been recast to reflect this transaction as of the earliest period presented under common control, January 1, 2020. Beginning in the first quarter of 2020, the outbreak of COVID-19 created significant economic and social disruption and impacted various operational and financial aspects of the Company’s business. The pandemic may continue to impact the Company’s earnings based on, amongst other factors, the volume and severity of claims related to COVID-19 and the financial disruption caused by the pandemic, which could impact the Company’s investment portfolio. Entities Included The consolidated condensed financial statements in this report include the accounts of Protective Life Insurance Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries and affiliate companies in which the Company holds a majority voting or economic interest.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES	SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Significant Accounting Policies For a full description of the Company's significant accounting policies, refer to Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. There were no significant changes to the Company’s accounting policies during the six months ended June 30, 2021. Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU” or “Update”) No. 2019-12 – Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. The amendments in this Update remove certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 related to intraperiod tax allocations, interim tax calculations, and outside basis differences. The amendments also clarify and amend guidance in certain other areas of Topic 740 in order to eliminate diversity in practice. The amendments in this Update are effective for public business entities in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this Update did not have a material impact on the Company’s operations and financial results. Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted ASU No. 2018-12 - Financial Services - Insurance (Topic 944): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Long-Duration Contracts. The amendments in this Update are designed to make improvements to the existing recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure requirements for certain long-duration contracts issued by an insurance company. The new amendments require insurance entities to provide a more current measure of the liability for future policy benefits for traditional and limited-payment contracts by regularly refining the liability for actual past experience and updated future assumptions. This differs from current requirements where assumptions are locked-in at contract issuance for these contract types. In addition, the updated liability will be discounted using an upper-medium grade (low-credit-risk) fixed income instrument yield that reflects the characteristics of the liability which differs from currently used rates based on the invested assets supporting the liability. In addition, the amendments introduce new requirements to assess market-based insurance contract options and guarantees for Market Risk Benefits and measure them at fair value. This Update also requires insurance entities to amortize deferred acquisition costs on a constant-level basis over the expected life of the contract. Finally, this Update requires new disclosures including liability rollforwards and information about significant inputs, judgments, assumptions, and methods used in the measurement. In November 2020, FASB issued ASU No. 2020-11 - Financial Services - Insurance (Topic 944); Effective Date and Early Application

Factors such as the credit enhancement within the deal structure, the average life of the securities, and the performance of the underlying collateral support the recoverability of these investments. The other asset-backed securities have a gross unrealized loss greater than twelve months of $1 million as of June 30, 2021. This category predominately includes student loan backed auction rate securities (“ARS”) whose underlying collateral is at leas t 97% guaranteed by the Federal Family Education Loan Program (“FFELP”). At this time, the Company has no reason to believe that the U.S. Department of Education would not honor the FFELP guarantee, if it were necessary. The corporate securities category had gross unrealized losses greater than twelve months of $46 million as of June 30, 2021, excluding losses of $1 million that were considered credit related. These losses are deemed temporary due to positive factors supporting the recoverability of the respective investments. Positive factors considered include credit ratings, the financial health of the issuer, the continued access of the issuer to capital markets, interest rate movement, and other pertinent information. As of June 30, 2021, the Company had a total of 467 positions that were in an unrealized loss position, including 5 positions for which an allowance for credit losses was established. For unrealized losses for which an allowance for credit losses was not established, the Company does not consider these unrealized loss positions to be credit-related. This is based on the aggregate factors discussed previously and because the Company has the ability and intent to hold these investments until the fair values recover. The Company does not intend to sell or expect to be required to sell the securities before recovering the Company’s amortized cost of the securities. The following table includes the gross unrealized losses and fair value of the Company’s investments that are not deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired, aggregated by investment category and length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position as of December 31, 2020: Less Than 12 Months 12 Months or More Total Fair Unrealized Fair Unrealized Fair Unrealized (Dollars In Millions) Residential mortgage-backed securities $ 386 $ (1) $ 9 $ — $ 395 $ (1) Commercial mortgage-backed securities 263 (15) 30 (4) 293 (19) Other asset-backed securities 146 (2) 326 (5) 472 (7) U.S. government-related securities 311 (3) 1 — 312 (3) Other government-related securities 19 — 7 (1) 26 (1) States, municipals, and political subdivisions 34 (1) 5 — 39 (1) Corporate securities 1,063 (33) 728 (66) 1,791 (99) Redeemable preferred stocks — — — — — — $ 2,222 $ (55) $ 1,106 $ (76) $ 3,328 $ (131) As of June 30, 2021, the Company had securities in its available-for-sale portfolio which were rated below investment grade of $2.7 billion and had an amortized cost of $2.5 billion.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS	FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The Company determined the fair value of its financial instruments based on the fair value hierarchy established in FASB guidance referenced in the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The Company has adopted the provisions from the FASB guidance that is referenced in the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic for non-financial assets and liabilities (such as property and equipment, goodwill, and other intangible assets) that are required to be measured at fair value on a periodic basis. The effect on the Company’s periodic fair value measurements for non-financial assets and liabilities was not material. The Company has categorized its financial instruments, based on the priority of the inputs to the valuation technique, into a three level hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). If the inputs used to measure fair value fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the category level is based on the lowest priority level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument. Financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets are categorized as follows: • Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in an active market. • Level 2: Quoted prices in markets that are not active or significant inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include the following: a) Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; b) Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in non-active markets; c) Inputs other than quoted market prices that are observable; and d) Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data through correlation or other means. • Level 3: Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. They reflect management’s own estimates about the assumptions a market participant would use in pricing the asset or liability. The following table presents the Company’s hierarchy for its assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2021: Measurement Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total (Dollars In Millions) Assets: Fixed maturity securities - AFS Residential mortgage-backed securities 4 $ — $ 7,038 $ — $ 7,038 Commercial mortgage-backed securities 4 — 2,314 32 2,346 Other asset-backed securities 4 — 1,061 451 1,512 U.S. government-related securities 4 458 466 — 924 State, municipals, and political subdivisions 4 — 4,249 — 4,249 Other government-related securities 4 — 744 — 744 Corporate securities 4 — 51,846 1,553 53,399 Redeemable preferred stocks 4 222 70 — 292 Total fixed maturity securities - AFS 680 67,788 2,036 70,504 Fixed maturity securities - trading Residential mortgage-backed securities 3 — 161 — 161 Commercial mortgage-backed securities 3 — 220 — 220 Other asset-backed securities 3 — 83 97 180 U.S. government-related securities 3 28 6 — 34 State, municipals, and political subdivisions 3 — 288 — 288 Other government-related securities 3 — 40 16 56 Corporate securities 3 — 1,835 11 1,846 Redeemable preferred stocks 3 8 — — 8 Total fixed maturity securities - trading 36 2,633 124 2,793 Total fixed maturity securities 716 70,421 2,160 73,297 Equity securities 3 562 — 112 674 Other long-term investments (1) 3 & 4 65 1,229 307 1,601 Short-term investments 3 526 159 — 685 Total investments 1,869 71,809 2,579 76,257 Cash 3 377 — — 377 Assets related to separate accounts Variable annuity 3 13,214 — — 13,214 Variable universal life 3 1,739 — — 1,739 Total assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis $ 17,199 $ 71,809 $ 2,579 $ 91,587 Liabilities: Annuity account balances (2) 3 $ — $ — $ 65 $ 65 Other liabilities (1) 3 & 4 25 947 2,016 2,988 Total liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis $ 25 $ 947 $ 2,081 $ 3,053 Measurement category 3 represents fair value through net income (loss) and 4 represents fair value through other comprehensive income (loss).

Determination of Fair Values The valuation methodologies used to determine the fair values of assets and liabilities reflect market participant assumptions and are based on the application of the fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable market inputs over unobservable inputs. The Company determines the fair values of certain financial assets and financial liabilities based on quoted market prices, where available. The Company also determines certain fair values based on future cash flows discounted at the appropriate current market rate. Fair values reflect adjustments for counterparty credit quality, the Company’s credit standing, liquidity, and where appropriate, risk margins on unobservable parameters. The following is a discussion of the methodologies used to determine fair values for the financial instruments as listed in the above table. For a full description of the Company’s fair value calculations and accounting policies, refer to Note 5 in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

(2) Fair value is presented as a net liability. The charts above exclude Level 3 financial instruments that are valued using broker quotes and for which book value approximates fair value. Unobservable inputs were weighted by the relative fair value of instruments, except for other asset-backed securities which were weighted by the relative par amounts. The Company has considered all reasonably available quantitative inputs as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, but the valuation techniques and inputs used by some brokers in pricing certain financial instruments are not shared with the Company. This resulted in $131 million and $116 million of financial instruments being classified as Level 3 as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, of which $115 million and $88 million were other asset-backed securities, $10 million and $17 million were corporate securities and $6 million and $11 million were equity securities, respectively. In certain cases the Company has determined that book value materially approximates fair value. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company held $106 million and $90 million of financial instruments, respectively, where book value approximates fair value which was predominantly FHLB stock.

For the six months ended June 30, 2020, there were $1 million securities transferred into Level 2 from Level 3. Total realized and unrealized gains (losses) on Level 3 assets and liabilities are reported in either realized gains (losses) within the consolidated condensed statements of income or other comprehensive income (loss) within shareowner’s equity based on the appropriate accounting treatment for the item. Purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements, net, represent the activity that occurred during the period that results in a change of the asset or liability but does not represent changes in fair value for the instruments held at the beginning of the period. Such activity primarily relates to purchases and sales of fixed maturity securities and issuances and settlements of fixed indexed annuities. The amount of total gains (losses) for assets and liabilities still held as of the reporting date primarily represents changes in fair value of trading securities and certain derivatives that exist as of the reporting date and the change in fair value of fixed indexed annuities. Estimated Fair Value of Financial Instruments The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments as of the periods shown below are as follows: As of June 30, 2021 December 31, 2020 Fair Value Carrying Fair Values Carrying Fair Values (Dollars In Millions) Assets: Commercial mortgage loans (1) 3 $ 10,288 $ 11,009 $ 10,006 $ 10,788 Policy loans 3 1,551 1,551 1,593 1,593 Other long-term investments (2) 2 1,223 1,306 1,186 1,283 Liabilities: Stable value product account balances 3 $ 7,461 $ 7,585 $ 6,056 $ 6,231 Future policy benefits and claims (3) 3 1,513 1,557 1,580 1,603 Other policyholders’ funds (4) 3 103 109 102 108 Debt: (5) Subordinated funding obligations 3 $ 110 $ 116 $ 110 $ 121 Except as noted below, fair values were estimated using quoted market prices.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS	DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS Types of Derivative Instruments and Derivative Strategies The Company utilizes a risk management strategy that incorporates the use of derivative financial instruments to reduce exposure to certain risks, including but not limited to, interest rate risk, currency exchange risk, volatility risk, and equity market risk. These strategies are developed through the Company’s analysis of data from financial simulation models and other internal and industry sources, and are then incorporated into the Company’s risk management program. Derivative instruments expose the Company to credit and market risk and could result in material changes from period to period. The Company attempts to minimize its credit risk in connection with its overall asset/liability management programs and risk management strategies. In addition, all derivative programs are monitored by our risk management department. For a full description of the Company’s derivatives instruments and accounting policies, refer to Note 6 in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. Derivative Instruments Designated and Qualifying as Hedging Instruments Cash-Flow Hedges • To hedge a fixed rate note denominated in a foreign currency, the Company entered into a fixed-to-fixed foreign currency swap in order to hedge the foreign currency exchange risk associated with the note. The cash flows received on the swap are identical to the cash flows paid on the note. • To hedge a floating rate note, the Company entered into an interest rate swap to exchange the floating rate on the note for a fixed rate in order to hedge the interest rate risk associated with the note. The cash flows received on the swap are identical to the cash flow variability paid on the note. Derivative Instruments Not Designated and Not Qualifying as Hedging Instruments The Company uses various other derivative instruments for risk management purposes that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment. Changes in the fair value of these derivatives are recognized in realized gains (losses) during the period of change. The following table sets forth realized gains (losses) - derivatives for the periods shown: Realized gains (losses) - derivative financial instruments For The For The 2021 2020 2021 2020 (Dollars In Millions) Derivatives related to VA contracts: Interest rate futures $ (1) $ (7) $ 8 $ (5) Equity futures (4) 102 (12) 133 Currency futures (1) (1) 5 11 Equity options (36) (172) (82) 108 Interest rate swaps 154 12 (143) 421 Total return swaps (56) (78) (125) 62 Embedded derivative - GLWB (103) 64 302 (871) Total derivatives related to VA contracts (47) (80) (47) (141) Derivatives related to FIA contracts: Embedded derivative (39) (68) (36) (29) Funds withheld derivative (2) (7) (5) (7) Equity futures 2 1 3 (7) Equity options 25 51 48 (9) Other derivatives (1) — (2) — Total derivatives related to FIA contracts (15) (23) 8 (52) Derivatives related to IUL contracts: Embedded derivative (33) (14) (12) (14) Equity futures — — — (2) Equity options 5 8 8 (6) Total derivatives related to IUL contracts (28) (6) (4) (22) Embedded derivative - Modco reinsurance treaties (80) (107) 47 (31) Derivatives with PLC (1) — 4 — 2 Other derivatives (12) (3) (5) 5 Total realized gains (losses) - derivatives $ (182) $ (215) $ (1) $ (239) (1) The Company and certain of its subsidiaries had an interest support agreement, YRT premium support agreements, and portfolio maintenance agreements with PLC through October 1, 2020.

Offsetting [Abstract]
OFFSETTING OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES	OFFSETTING OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES Certain of the Company’s derivative instruments are subject to enforceable master netting arrangements that provide for the net settlement of all derivative contracts between the Company and a counterparty in the event of default or upon the occurrence of certain termination events. Collateral support agreements associated with each master netting arrangement provide that the Company will receive or pledge financial collateral in the event either minimum thresholds, or in certain cases ratings levels, have been reached. Additionally, certain of the Company’s repurchase agreements provide for net settlement on termination of the agreement. Refer to Note 10, Debt and Other Obligations for details of the Company’s repurchase agreement programs. Collateral received includes both cash and non-cash collateral. Cash collateral received by the Company is recorded on the consolidated condensed balance sheet as “cash”, with a corresponding amount recorded in “other liabilities” to represent the Company’s obligation to return the collateral. Non-cash collateral received by the Company is not recognized on the consolidated condensed balance sheet unless the Company exercises its right to sell or re-pledge the underlying asset. There was no fair value of non-cash collateral received as of June 30, 2021 or as of December 31, 2020.

COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE LOANS

COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE LOANS	6 Months Ended

Receivables [Abstract]
COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE LOANS	COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE LOANS The Company invests a portion of its investment portfolio in commercial mortgage loans. As of June 30, 2021, the Company’s commercial mortgage loan holdings were $10.4 billion, or $10.3 billion net of allowance for credit losses . The Company has specialized in making loans on credit-oriented commercial properties, credit-anchored strip shopping centers, senior living facilities, and apartments. The Company’s underwriting procedures relative to its commercial mortgage loan portfolio are based, in the Company’s view, on a conservative and disciplined approach. The Company concentrates on a small number of commercial real estate asset types associated with the necessities of life (retail, multi-family, senior living, professional office buildings, and warehouses). The Company believes that these asset types tend to weather economic downturns better than other commercial asset classes in which it has chosen not to participate. The Company believes this disciplined approach has helped to maintain a relatively low delinquency and foreclosure rate throughout its history. The majority of the Company’s commercial mortgage loans portfolio was underwritten by the Company. From time to time, the Company may acquire loans in conjunction with an acquisition. The Company’s commercial mortgage loans are stated at unpaid principal balance, adjusted for any unamortized premium or discount, and net of the allowance for credit losses. Interest income is accrued on the principal amount of the loan based on the loan’s contractual interest rate. Amortization of premiums and discounts is recorded using the effective yield method. Interest income, amortization of premiums and discounts and prepayment fees are reported in net investment income. Certain of the commercial mortgage loans have call options that occur within the next 9 years. However, if interest rates were to significantly increase, the Company may be unable to exercise the call options on its existing commercial mortgage loans commensurate with the significantly increased market rates. As of June 30, 2021, assuming the loans are called at their next call dates, $102 million of principal would become due for the remainder of 2021, $450 million in 2022 through 2026 and $13 million in 2027 through 2029. The Company offers a type of commercial mortgage loan under which the Company will permit a loan-to-value ratio of up to 85% in exchange for a participating interest in the cash flows from the underlying real estate. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, $682 million and $806 million, respectively, of the Company’s total commercial mortgage loans principal balance have this participation feature. Cash flows received as a result of this participation feature are recorded as interest income. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company recognized $7 million, $14 million, $1 million, and $17 million, respectively, of participation commercial mortgage loan income. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, $1 million and $3 million, respectively, of invested assets consisted of commercial mortgage loans that were nonperforming, restructured or foreclosed and converted to real estate properties. The Company does not expect these investments to adversely affect its liquidity or ability to maintain proper matching of assets and liabilities. For all commercial mortgage loans, the impact of troubled debt restructurings is reflected in our investment balance and in the allowance for commercial mortgage loan credit losses. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company recognized one troubled debt restructuring transaction as a result of granting a concession to a borrower which included loan terms unavailable from other lenders. This concession was the result of an agreement between the creditor and the debtor. The Company did not identify any loans whose principal was permanently impaired during the six months ended June 30, 2021. The Company provides certain relief under the Coronavirus Aid Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) under its COVID-19 Commercial Mortgage Loan Program (the “Loan Modification Program”). During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company modified 16 loans under the Loan Modification Program, representing $311 million in unpaid principal balance. As of June 30, 2021, since the inception of the CARES Act, there were 286 total loans modified under the Loan Modification Program, representing $2.2 billion in unpaid principal balance. At June 30, 2021, $1.7 billion of these loans have resumed regular principal and interest payments in accordance with the terms of the modification agreements. The modifications under this program include agreements to defer principal payments only and/or to defer principal and interest payments for a specified period of time. None of these modifications were considered troubled debt restructurings. The amortized cost basis of the Company's commercial mortgage loan receivables by origination year, net of the allowance, for credit losses is as follows: Term Loans Amortized Cost Basis by Origination Year 2021 2020 2019 2018 2017 Prior Total (Dollars In Millions) As of June 30, 2021 Commercial mortgage loans: Performing $ 771 $ 1,444 $ 2,220 $ 1,527 $ 1,336 $ 3,125 $ 10,423 Non-performing — — — — — 1 1 Amortized cost $ 771 $ 1,444 $ 2,220 $ 1,527 $ 1,336 $ 3,126 $ 10,424 Allowance for credit losses (5) (16) (29) (24) (25) (37) (136) Total commercial mortgage loans $ 766 $ 1,428 $ 2,191 $ 1,503 $ 1,311 $ 3,089 $ 10,288 Term Loans Amortized Cost Basis by Origination Year 2020 2019 2018 2017 2016 Prior Total (Dollars In Millions) As of December 31, 2020 Commercial mortgage loans: Performing $ 1,463 $ 2,442 $ 1,577 $ 1,344 $ 943 $ 2,458 $ 10,227 Non-performing 1 1 Amortized cost $ 1,463 $ 2,442 $ 1,577 $ 1,344 $ 943 $ 2,459 $ 10,228 Allowance for credit losses (21) (46) (55) (37) (25) (38) (222) Total commercial mortgage loans $ 1,442 $ 2,396 $ 1,522 $ 1,307 $ 918 $ 2,421 $ 10,006 The following tables provide a comparative view of the key credit quality indicators of the Loan-to-Value and Debt Service Coverage Ratio (“DSCR”): As of June 30, 2021 As of December 31, 2020 Amortized % of Total DSCR (2) Amortized % of Total DSCR (2) (Dollars In Millions) (Dollars In Millions) Loan-to-Value (1) Greater than 75% $ 332 3 % 1.27 $ 399 4 % 1.29 50% - 75% 6,691 64 % 1.65 6,557 64 % 1.61 Less than 50% 3,401 33 % 2.04 3,272 32 % 2.01 Total commercial mortgage loans $ 10,424 100 % $ 10,228 100 % (1) The loan-to-value ratio compares the current unpaid principal of the loan to the estimated fair value of the underlying property collateralizing the loan.

(2) The debt service coverage ratio compares a property’s net operating income to its debt service payments, including principal and interest. Our weighted average debt service coverage ratio for June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 was 1.76x and 1.72x, respectively. The following provides a summary of the rollforward of the allowance for credit losses for funded commercial mortgage loans and unfunded commercial mortgage loan commitments for the periods indicated.

As of December 31, 2020, the Company had a total of one loan of $1 million that was 60-89 days delinquent. The Company’s commercial mortgage loan portfolio consists of commercial mortgage loans that are collateralized by real estate. Due to the collateralized nature of the loans, any assessment of impairment and ultimate loss given a default on the loans is based upon a consideration of the estimated fair value of the real estate.

Closed Block Disclosure [Abstract]
MONY CLOSED BLOCK OF BUSINESS	MONY CLOSED BLOCK OF BUSINESS In 1998, MONY Life Insurance Company (“MONY”) converted from a mutual insurance company to a stock corporation (“demutualization”). In connection with its demutualization, an accounting mechanism known as a closed block (the “Closed Block”) was established for certain individuals’ participating policies in force as of the date of demutualization. Assets, liabilities, and earnings of the Closed Block are specifically identified to support its participating policyholders. The Company acquired the Closed Block in conjunction with the acquisition of MONY in 2013. Assets allocated to the Closed Block inure solely to the benefit of the Closed Block’s policyholders and will not revert to the benefit of MONY or the Company. No reallocation, transfer, borrowing or lending of assets can be made between the Closed Block and other portions of MONY’s general account, any of MONY’s separate accounts or any affiliate of MONY without the approval of the Superintendent of The New York State Department of Financial Services (the “Superintendent”).

Reinsurance Disclosures [Abstract]
REINSURANCE	REINSURANCE Allowance for Credit Losses – Reinsurance Receivables The Company establishes an allowance for current expected credit losses related to amounts receivable from reinsurers (the “Reinsurance ACL”). Changes in the Reinsurance ACL are recognized as a component of benefits and settlement expenses. The Reinsurance ACL is remeasured on a quarterly basis using an internally developed probability of default (“PD”) and loss given default (“LGD”) model. Key inputs to the calculation are a conditional probability of insurer liquidation by issuer credit rating and exposure at default derived from a runoff projection of ceded reserves by reinsurer to forecast future loss amounts. Management’s position is that the rate of return implicit in the financial asset (i.e. the ceded reserves) is associated with the discount rate used to value the underlying insurance reserves; that is, the rate of return on the asset portfolio(s) supporting the reserves. For reinsurance receivable exposures that do not share similar risk characteristics with other receivables, including those associated with counterparties that have experienced significant credit deterioration, the Company measures the allowance for credit losses individually, based on facts and circumstances associated with the specific reinsurer or transaction. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Reinsurance ACL was $91 million and $94 million respectively. There were no write-offs or recoveries during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020.

Debt Disclosure [Abstract]
DEBT AND OTHER OBLIGATIONS	DEBT AND OTHER OBLIGATIONS Under a revolving line of credit arrangement (the “Credit Facility”), PLC and the Company have the ability to borrow on an unsecured basis up to a combined aggregate principal amount of $1 billion. Under certain circumstances the Credit Facility allows for a request that the commitment be increased up to a maximum principal amount of $2 billion. Balances outstanding under the Credit Facility accrue interest at a rate equal to, at the option of the borrowers, (i) LIBOR plus a spread based on the ratings of PLC’s Senior Debt, or (ii) the sum of (A) a rate equal to the highest of (x) the Administrative Agent’s Prime rate, (y) 0.50% above the Funds Rate, or (z) the one-month LIBOR plus 1.00% and (B) a spread based on the ratings of PLC’s Senior Debt. The Credit Facility also provided for a facility fee at a rate that varies with the ratings of PLC’s Senior Debt and that is calculated on the aggregate amount of commitments under the Credit Facility, whether used or unused. The annual facility fee rate is 0.125% of the aggregate principal amount. The Credit Facility provides that PLC is liable for the full amount of any obligations for borrowings or letters of credit, including those of the Company, under the Credit Facility. The maturity date of the Credit Facility is May 3, 2023. The Company is not aware of any non-compliance with the financial debt covenants of the Credit Facility as of June 30, 2021. The Company had no outstanding balances drawn on the Credit Facility as of June 30, 2021 or December 31, 2020. PLC had an outstanding balance of $350 million and $190 million as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. Secured Financing Transactions Repurchase Program Borrowings While the Company anticipates that the cash flows of its operating subsidiaries will be sufficient to meet its investment commitments and operating cash needs in a normal credit market environment, the Company recognizes that investment commitments scheduled to be funded may, from time to time, exceed the funds then available. Therefore, the Company has established repurchase agreement programs for certain of its insurance subsidiaries to provide liquidity when needed. The Company expects that the rate received on its investments will equal or exceed its borrowing rate. Under this program, the Company may, from time to time, sell an investment security at a specific price and agree to repurchase that security at another specified price at a later date. These borrowings are typically for a term less than 90 days. The market value of securities to be repurchased is monitored and collateral levels are adjusted where appropriate to protect the counterparty against credit exposure. Cash received is invested in fixed maturi ty securities, and the agreements provide for net settlement in the event of default or on termination of the agreements. As of June 30, 2021, the fair value of securities pledged under the repurchase program was $1,067 million, and the repurchase obligation of $1,003 million was included in the Company’s consolidated condensed balance sheets (at an average borrowing rate of 13 basis points). During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the maximum balance outstanding at any one point in time related to these programs was $1,003 million. The average daily balance was $523 million (at an average borrowing rate of 10 basis points) during the six months ended June 30, 2021. As of December 31, 2020, the fair value of securities pledged under the repurchase program wa s $452 million, and the repurchase obligation of $437 million w as included in the Company’s consolidated condensed balance sheets (at an average borrowing rate of 15 basis points). During 2020, the maximum balance outstanding at any one point in time related to these programs w as $825 million . The average daily balance was $143 million (at an average borrowing rate of 33 basis points) during the year ended December 31, 2020. Securities Lending The Company participates in securities lending, primarily as an investment yield enhancement, whereby securities that are held as investments are loaned out to third parties for short periods of time. The Company requires collateral at least equal to 102% of the fair value of the loaned securities to be separately maintained. The loaned securities’ fair value is monitored on a daily basis and collateral is adjusted accordingly. The Company maintains ownership of the securities at all times and is entitled to receive from the borrower any payments for interest received on such securities during the loan term. Securities lending transactions are accounted for as secured borrowings. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, securities with a fair value of $153 million and $57 million, respectively, were loaned under this program. As collateral for the loaned securities, the Company receives cash which is primarily reinvested in short-term repurchase agreements, which are also collateralized by U.S. Government or U.S. Government Agency securities, and government money market funds. These investments are recorded in short-term investments with a corresponding liability recorded in secured financing liabilities to account for its obligation to return the collateral. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the fair value of the collateral related to this program was $159 million and $59 million and the Company has an obligation to return $159 million and $59 million of collateral to the securities borrowers, respectively. The following table provides the fair value of collateral pledged for repurchase agreements, grouped by asset class as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 : Repurchase Agreements, Securities Lending Transactions, and Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions Accounted for as Secured Borrowings Remaining Contractual Maturity of the Agreements As of June 30, 2021 (Dollars In Millions) Overnight and Up to 30 days 30-90 days Greater Than Total Repurchase agreements and repurchase-to-maturity transactions U.S. Treasury and agency securities $ 1,029 $ 38 $ — $ — $ 1,067 Total repurchase agreements and repurchase-to-maturity transactions 1,029 38 — — 1,067 Securities lending transactions Corporate securities 151 — — — 151 Equity securities 1 — — — 1 Redeemable preferred stocks 1 — — — 1 Total securities lending transactions 153 — — — 153 Total securities $ 1,182 $ 38 $ — $ — $ 1,220 Repurchase Agreements, Securities Lending Transactions, and Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions Accounted for as Secured Borrowings Remaining Contractual Maturity of the Agreements As of December 31, 2020 (Dollars In Millions) Overnight and Up to 30 days 30-90 days Greater Than Total Repurchase agreements and repurchase-to-maturity transactions U.S. Treasury and agency securities $ 366 $ 86 $ — $ — $ 452 Total repurchase agreements and repurchase-to-maturity transactions 366 86 — — 452 Securities lending transactions Fixed maturity securities 49 — — — 49 Equity securities 7 — — — 7 Redeemable preferred stocks 1 — — — 1 Total securities lending transactions 57 — — — 57 Total securities $ 423 $ 86 $ — $ — $ 509 Golden Gate Captive Insurance Company

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES	COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES The Company leases administrative and marketing office space as well as various office equipment. Most leases have terms ranging from two years to twenty-five years. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the consolidated condensed balance sheet. The Company accounts for lease components separately from non-lease components (e.g., common area maintenance). Certain of the Company’s lease agreements include options to renew at the Company’s discretion. Management has concluded that the Company is not reasonably certain to elect any of these renewal options. The Company will use the interest rates received on its funding agreement backed notes as the collateralized discount rate when calculating the present value of remaining lease payments when the rate implicit in the lease is unavailable. Under the insurance guaranty fund laws in most states, insurance companies doing business in those states can be assessed up to prescribed limits for policyholder losses incurred by insolvent companies. From time to time, companies may be asked to contribute amounts beyond prescribed limits. It is possible that the Company could be assessed with respect to product lines not offered by the Company. In addition, legislation may be introduced in various states with respect to guaranty fund assessment laws related to insurance products, including long term care insurance and other specialty products, that increases the cost of future assessments or alters future premium tax offsets received in connection with guaranty fund assessments. The Company cannot predict the amount, nature or timing of any future assessments or legislation, any of which could have a material and adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations. A number of civil jury verdicts have been returned against insurers, broker-dealers, and other providers of financial services involving sales, refund or claims practices, alleged agent misconduct, failure to properly supervise representatives, relationships with agents or persons with whom the insurer does business, and other matters. Often these lawsuits have resulted in the award of substantial judgments that are disproportionate to the actual damages, including material amounts of punitive and non-economic compensatory damages. In some states, juries, judges, and arbitrators have substantial discretion in awarding punitive and non-economic compensatory damages which creates the potential for unpredictable material adverse judgments or awards in any given lawsuit or arbitration. Arbitration awards are subject to very limited appellate review. In addition, in some class action and other lawsuits, companies have made material settlement payments. The financial services and insurance industries in particular are also sometimes the target of law enforcement and regulatory investigations relating to the numerous laws and regulations that govern such companies. Some companies have been the subject of law enforcement or regulatory actions or other actions resulting from such investigations. The Company, in the ordinary course of business, is involved in such matters. The Company establishes liabilities for litigation and regulatory actions when it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. For matters where a loss is believed to be reasonably possible, but not probable, no liability is established. For such matters, the Company may provide an estimate of the possible loss or range of loss or a statement that such an estimate cannot be made. The Company reviews relevant information with respect to litigation and regulatory matters on a quarterly and annual basis and updates its established liabilities, disclosures, and estimates of reasonably possible losses or range of loss based on such reviews. Certain other insurance companies for which the Company has coinsured blocks of life insurance and annuity policies, are under audit for compliance with the unclaimed property laws of a number of states. The audits are being conducted on behalf of the treasury departments or unclaimed property administrators in such states. The focus of the audits is on whether there have been unreported deaths, maturities, or policies that have exceeded limiting age with respect to which death benefits or other payments under life insurance or annuity policies should be treated as unclaimed property that should be escheated to the state. The Company is presently unable to estimate the reasonably possible loss or range of loss that may result from the audits due to a number of factors, including the early stages of the audits being conducted, and uncertainty as to whether the Company or other companies are responsible for the liabilities, if any, arising in connection with certain co-insured policies. The Company will continue to monitor the matter for any developments that would make the loss contingency associated with the audits reasonably estimable. Advance Trust & Life Escrow Services, LTA, as Securities Intermediary of Life Partners Position Holder Trust v. Protective Life Insurance Company, Case No. 2:18-CV-01290, is a putative class action that was filed on August 13, 2018 in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Alabama. Plaintiff alleges that the Company required policyholders to pay unlawful and excessive cost of insurance charges. Plaintiff seeks to represent all owners of universal life and variable universal life policies issued or administered by the Company or its predecessors that provide that cost of insurance rates are to be determined based on expectations of future mortality experience. The plaintiff seeks class certification, compensatory damages, pre-judgment and post-judgment interest, costs, and other unspecified relief. The Company is vigorously defending this matter and cannot predict the outcome of or reasonably estimate the possible loss or range of loss that might result from this litigation. Scottish Re (U.S.), Inc. ("SRUS") was placed in rehabilitation on March 6, 2019 by the State of Delaware. Under the related order, the Insurance Commissioner of the State of Delaware has been appointed the receiver of SRUS and provided with authority to conduct and continue the business of SRUS in the interest of its cedents, creditors, and stockholder. The order was accompanied by an injunction requiring the continued payment of reinsurance premiums to SRUS and temporarily prohibiting cedents, including the Company, from offsetting premiums payable against receivables from SRUS. On June 20, 2019, the Delaware Court of Chancery entered an order approving a Revised Offset Plan, which allows cedents, including the Company, to offset premiums under certain circumstances. A proposed Rehabilitation Plan (“Original Rehabilitation Plan”) was filed by the Receiver on June 30, 2020. The Original Rehabilitation Plan presents the following two options to each cedent: 1) remain in business with SRUS and be governed by the Rehabilitation Plan, or 2) recapture business ceded to SRUS. Due to SRUS’s financial status, neither option would pay 100% of the Company’s outstanding claims. The Original Rehabilitation Plan would impose certain financial terms and conditions on the cedents based on the election made, the type of business ceded, the manner in which the business is collateralized, and the amount of losses sustained by the cedent. On October 9, 2020, the Receiver filed a proposed order setting forth a schedule to present the Original Rehabilitation Plan for Court approval, which order contemplated possible modifications to the Rehabilitation Plan to be filed with the Court by March 16, 2021. The Court approved the order. On March 16, 2021, the Receiver filed a draft Amended Rehabilitation Plan (“Amended Plan”). The majority of the substance and form of the original Rehabilitation Plan, including its two option structure described above, remained in place. For much of 2020 and into early 2021, a group of interested parties collectively requested certain information and financial data from the Receiver that would allow them to more fully evaluate first the Original Rehabilitation Plan and then the Amended Plan. This group also had a number of conversations with counsel for the Receiver regarding concerns over the Plan. On July 26, 2021, the Receiver shared with interested parties an outline of a Modified Plan, along with a liquidation analysis. While there are significant changes proposed in the Modified Plan (as compared to the Original Rehabilitation Plan and the Amended Plan), much of the economic substance (including not paying claims in full) of the Original Rehabilitation Plan and the Amended Rehabilitation Plan are likely to be included in the Modified Plan when filed with the court later this year. The Court has yet to rule further or to re-establish a schedule for pre-confirmation procedures or a hearing on confirmation.

OPERATING SEGMENTS

OPERATING SEGMENTS	6 Months Ended

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
OPERATING SEGMENTS	OPERATING SEGMENTS The Company has several operating segments, each having a strategic focus. An operating segment is distinguished by products, channels of distribution, and/or other strategic distinctions. The Company periodically evaluates its operating segments and makes adjustments to its segment reporting as needed. A brief description of each segment follows. • The Retail Life and Annuity segment primarily markets fixed universal life (“UL”), indexed universal life (“IUL”), variable universal life (“VUL”), level premium term insurance (“traditional”), bank-owned life insurance (“BOLI”), corporate-owned life insurance (“COLI”), fixed annuity, and variable annuity (“VA”) products on a national basis primarily through networks of independent insurance agents and brokers, broker-dealers, financial institutions, independent marketing organizations, and affinity groups. • The Acquisitions segment focuses on acquiring, converting, and servicing policies and contracts acquired from other companies. The segment’s primary focus is on life insurance policies and annuity products that were sold to individuals. Additionally, this segment’s acquisition activity is predicated upon many factors, including available capital, operating capacity, potential return on capital, and market dynamics. Policies acquired through the Acquisitions segment are typically blocks of business where no new policies are being marketed, however, some recent acquisitions have included ongoing new business activities. Ongoing new product sales written by the Company from these acquisitions are included in the Retail Life and Annuity segment. As a result, earnings and account values are expected to decline as the result of lapses, deaths, and other terminations of coverage unless new acquisitions are made. • The Stable Value Products segment sells fixed and floating rate funding agreements directly to the trustees of municipal bond proceeds, money market funds, bank trust departments, and other institutional investors. This segment also issues funding agreements to the FHLB, and markets guaranteed investment contracts (“GICs”) to 401(k) and other qualified retirement savings plans. The Company also has an unregistered funding agreement-backed notes program which provides for offers of notes to both domestic and international institutional investors. • The Asset Protection segment markets extended service contracts, GAP products, and other specialized ancillary products to protect consumers’ investments in automobiles and recreational vehicles. GAP products are designed to cover the difference between the scheduled loan pay-off amount and an asset’s actual cash value in the case of a total loss. Each type of specialized ancillary product protects against damage or other loss to a particular aspect of the underlying asset. • The Corporate and Other segment primarily consists of net investment income on assets supporting our equity capital, unallocated corporate overhead and expenses not attributable to the segments above. This segment includes earnings from several non-strategic or runoff lines of business, various financing and investment-related transactions, and the operations of several small subsidiaries. The Company’s management and Board of Directors analyzes and assesses the operating performance of each segment using pre-tax adjusted operating income (loss) and after-tax adjusted operating income (loss) . Consistent with GAAP accounting guidance for segment reporting, pre-tax adjusted operating income (loss) is the Company’s measure of segment performance. Pre-tax adjusted operating income (loss) is calculated by adjusting income (loss) before income tax , by excluding the following items: • realized gains and losses on investments and derivatives, • changes in the GLWB embedded derivatives exclusive of the portion attributable to the economic cost of the GLWB, • actual GLWB incurred claims, • immediate impacts from changes in current market conditions on estimates of future profitability on variable annuity and variable universal life products, including impacts on deferred acquisition cost (“DAC”), value of business acquired (“VOBA”), reserves and other items, and • the amortization of DAC, VOBA, and certain policy liabilities that is impacted by the exclusion of these items. After-tax adjusted operating income (loss) is derived from pre-tax adjusted operating income (loss) with the inclusion of income tax expense or benefits associated with pre-tax adjusted operating income. Income tax expense or benefits is allocated to the items excluded from pre-tax adjusted operating income (loss) at the statutory federal income tax rate for the associated period. Income tax expense or benefits allocated to after-tax adjusted operating income (loss) can vary period to period based on changes in the Company’s effective income tax rate. Pre-tax adjusted operating income (loss) and after-tax adjusted operating income (loss) presented below are non-GAAP financial measures. The items excluded from adjusted operating income (loss) are important to understanding the overall results of operations. During Q1 2021, the Company began excluding from pre-tax and after-tax adjusted operating income (loss) the impacts on DAC, VOBA, reserves and other items due to changes in estimated profitability of variable annuity and variable universal life products as a result of changes in current market conditions. Management believes this change enhances the understanding of the underlying performance trends of these products. Pre-tax adjusted operating income (loss) and after-tax adjusted operating income (loss) are not substitutes for income before income taxes or net income (loss), respectively. These measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. The Company believes that pre-tax and after-tax adjusted operating income (loss) enhances management’s and the Board of Directors’ understanding of the ongoing operations, the underlying profitability of each segment, and helps facilitate the allocation of resources. In determining the components of the pre-tax adjusted operating income (loss) for each segment, premiums and policy fees, other income, benefits and settlement expenses, and amortization of DAC and VOBA are attributed directly to each operating segment. Net investment income is allocated based on directly related assets required for transacting the business of that segment. Realized gains (losses) and other operating expenses are allocated to the segments in a manner that most appropriately reflects the operations of that segment. Investments and other assets are allocated based on statutory policy liabilities net of associated statutory policy assets, while DAC/VOBA and goodwill are shown in the segments to which they are attributable. There were no significant intersegment transactions during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies)	6 Months Ended
	Jun. 30, 2021
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation Protective Life Insurance Company (the “Company”), a stock life insurance company, was founded in 1907. The Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Protective Life Corporation (“PLC”), an insurance holding company. PLC is a wholly owned subsidiary of Dai-ichi Life Holdings, Inc., a kabushiki kaisha (“Dai-ichi Life”). The Company markets individual life insurance, guaranteed investment contracts, guaranteed funding agreements, fixed and variable annuities, and extended service contracts throughout the United States. The Company also maintains a separate segment devoted to the acquisition of insurance policies from other companies. PLC is a holding company with subsidiaries that provide financial services through the production, distribution, and administration of insurance and investment products. These consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for the interim periods presented herein. In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring items) necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2021. The year-end consolidated condensed financial data included herein was derived from audited financial statements but this report does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. The operating results of companies in the insurance industry have historically been subject to significant fluctuations due to changing competition, economic conditions, interest rates, investment performance, insurance ratings, claims, persistency, and other factors. Shades Creek Captive Insurance Company (“Shades Creek”) was a direct wholly owned insurance subsidiary of PLC through December 31, 2020. On January 1, 2021, Shades Creek was merged with and into the Company, with the Company being the surviving entity. The Company accounted for the transaction pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805-50 “Transactions between Entities under Common Control”. The transferred assets and liabilities of Shades Creek were recorded by the Company at their carrying value at the date of transfer. In accordance with ASC 805-50, all prior financial information has been recast to reflect this transaction as of the earliest period presented under common control, January 1, 2020. Beginning in the first quarter of 2020, the outbreak of COVID-19 created significant economic and social disruption and impacted various operational and financial aspects of the Company’s business. The pandemic may continue to impact the Company’s earnings based on, amongst other factors, the volume and severity of claims related to COVID-19 and the financial disruption caused by the pandemic, which could impact the Company’s investment portfolio.
Entities Included	Entities Included The consolidated condensed financial statements in this report include the accounts of Protective Life Insurance Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries and affiliate companies in which the Company holds a majority voting or economic interest. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted and Not Yet Adopted	Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU” or “Update”) No. 2019-12 – Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. The amendments in this Update remove certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 related to intraperiod tax allocations, interim tax calculations, and outside basis differences. The amendments also clarify and amend guidance in certain other areas of Topic 740 in order to eliminate diversity in practice. The amendments in this Update are effective for public business entities in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this Update did not have a material impact on the Company’s operations and financial results. Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted ASU No. 2018-12 - Financial Services - Insurance (Topic 944): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Long-Duration Contracts. The amendments in this Update are designed to make improvements to the existing recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure requirements for certain long-duration contracts issued by an insurance company. The new amendments require insurance entities to provide a more current measure of the liability for future policy benefits for traditional and limited-payment contracts by regularly refining the liability for actual past experience and updated future assumptions. This differs from current requirements where assumptions are locked-in at contract issuance for these contract types. In addition, the updated liability will be discounted using an upper-medium grade (low-credit-risk) fixed income instrument yield that reflects the characteristics of the liability which differs from currently used rates based on the invested assets supporting the liability. In addition, the amendments introduce new requirements to assess market-based insurance contract options and guarantees for Market Risk Benefits and measure them at fair value. This Update also requires insurance entities to amortize deferred acquisition costs on a constant-level basis over the expected life of the contract. Finally, this Update requires new disclosures including liability rollforwards and information about significant inputs, judgments, assumptions, and methods used in the measurement. In November 2020, FASB issued ASU No. 2020-11 - Financial Services - Insurance (Topic 944); Effective Date and Early Application
