New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Abstract]
Accounting Developments	Accounting Developments Accounting Updates Adopted in 2018: Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Description Date of Adoption Effect on Financial Statements ASC 230 "Statement of Cash Flows" This update provided clarifying guidance intended to reduce the diversity in practice in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. The update addressed eight specific cash flow issues that relate to various types of transactions. The guidance is to be applied retrospectively. January 1, 2018 The adoption of this update resulted in the reclassification of certain cash inflows from investing activities to cash inflows from operating activities within our consolidated statements of cash flows. This reclassification related to cash distributions from equity method investees and the bifurcation of those distributions as either returns on investment or returns of investment. The adoption of this update had no effect on our financial position or results of operations. See the summary tables contained herein for the financial statement impacts of this retrospective adoption. ASC 606 "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" These updates superseded virtually all existing guidance regarding the recognition of revenue from customers. Specifically excluded from the scope of these updates are insurance contracts, although our fee-based service products are included within the scope. Our fee-based service products, which are primarily sold in our Unum US segment, are reported in other income within our consolidated statements of income and represent less than one percent of our total revenue. The core principle of this guidance is that revenue recognition should depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Accordingly, we continue to recognize revenue for these fee-based service products as services are rendered. The guidance is to be applied retrospectively for all periods presented or retrospectively with a cumulative-effect adjustment at the date of adoption. January 1, 2018 The adoption of these updates did not have an impact on our financial position or results of operations and did not result in expanded disclosures due to the immaterial nature of our fee-based service products relative to our overall business. ASC Description Date of Adoption Effect on Financial Statements ASC 715 "Compensation - Retirement Benefits" This update required the service cost component of net periodic pension and postretirement benefit costs to be included as a component of compensation costs in an entity's statement of income. Other components of net periodic pension and postretirement benefit costs are required to be presented separately from the service cost along with a disclosure identifying the line items in which these costs are presented in the statement of income. The amendments in this update are to be applied retrospectively or prospectively depending on the specific requirement of the update. January 1, 2018 The adoption of this update resulted in the reclassification of service cost from the other expenses line item to the compensation expense line item on our consolidated statements of income but had no effect on our financial position or results of operations. We elected to use the practical expedient for the retrospective application of this update. See the summary tables contained herein for the financial statement impacts of this retrospective adoption. ASC 740 "Income Taxes" This update eliminated the exception that required the tax effect of intra-entity asset transfers other than inventory to be deferred until the transferred asset is sold to a third party or otherwise recovered through use. It required recognition of tax expense from the sale of the asset in the seller’s tax jurisdiction when the transfer occurs, even though the pre-tax effects of that transaction are eliminated in consolidation. The guidance is to be applied retrospectively. January 1, 2018 The adoption of this update did not have an impact on our financial position or results of operations. ASC 815 "Derivatives and Hedge Accounting" This update provided targeted improvements to accounting for hedging activities for both nonfinancial and financial risk components, aligns the recognition and presentation of the effects of the hedging instrument and the hedged item in the financial statements, eases certain documentation and effectiveness assessment requirements, and enhances transparency through expanded disclosures. For cash flow and net investment hedges existing at the date of adoption, the guidance is to be applied using a modified retrospective approach through a cumulative-effect adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive income with a corresponding adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the fiscal year the guidance is adopted. The amended presentation and disclosure guidance is required prospectively. Early adoption is permitted. January 1, 2018 We elected to early adopt this update. The adoption of this update did not have an impact on our financial position or results of operations; however, it expanded our disclosures. This update will also simplify hedge documentation requirements and expand available hedging strategies. ASC Description Date of Adoption Effect on Financial Statements ASC 825 "Financial Instruments - Overall" This update changed the accounting and disclosure requirements for certain financial instruments. These changes include a requirement to measure equity investments, other than those that result in consolidation or are accounted for under the equity method, at fair value through net income unless the investment qualifies for certain practicability exceptions. In addition, the update clarified guidance related to the valuation allowance assessment when recognizing deferred tax assets resulting from unrealized losses on available-for-sale fixed maturity securities. Changes also included the modification of certain disclosures around the fair value of financial instruments, including the requirement for separate presentation of financial assets and liabilities by measurement category, as well as the elimination of certain disclosures around methods and significant assumptions used to estimate fair value. The guidance is to be applied using a modified retrospective approach through a cumulative-effect adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive income with a corresponding adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the fiscal year the guidance is adopted. January 1, 2018 See the summary tables contained herein for the financial statement impacts of this modified retrospective adoption on our financial statement line items at January 1, 2018.

Accounting Updates Outstanding: ASC Description Date of Adoption Effect on Financial Statements ASC 220 "Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income" This update allows entities to make an optional accounting policy election to reclassify the stranded tax effects arising as a result of the recognition of the enactment of the tax bill, H.R.1, An Act to Provide Reconciliation Pursuant to Titles II and V of the Concurrent Resolution on the Budget for Fiscal Year 2018, more commonly known as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings. Tax effects that are stranded in accumulated other comprehensive income for reasons other than the TCJA may not be reclassified. This update requires additional disclosures on whether an entity elects to reclassify the stranded tax effects and its policy for releasing tax effects from accumulated other comprehensive income. This guidance may be applied in the period of adoption or retrospectively to each period in which the effect of the change in federal income tax rate in the TCJA is recognized, with early adoption permitted. January 1, 2019 The adoption of this update will expand certain of our disclosures but will have no impact on our financial position or results of operations because we do not intend to make the optional accounting policy election to reclassify the stranded tax effects resulting from the TCJA from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings. ASC 310 "Receivables - Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs" This update shortens the amortization period to the earliest call date for certain callable debt securities held at a premium. This update does not impact securities held at a discount. The guidance is to be applied using a modified retrospective approach, with early adoption permitted. January 1, 2019 We have not yet determined the expected impact on our financial position or results of operations. ASC 718 "Compensation - Stock Compensation" This update generally aligns the accounting guidance for share-based payments issued to non-employees with guidance for share-based payments issued to employees. Specifically, the update requires non-employee share-based payments to be measured using the grant date fair value of the equity instruments that an entity is obligated to issue when the good has been delivered or the service has been rendered rather than being remeasured through the performance completion date. Additionally, for non-employee share-based payments that contain performance conditions, the update will change the criteria regarding the recognition of compensation cost to when achievement of a performance condition is probable rather than upon actual achievement of the performance condition. The guidance is to be applied using a modified retrospective approach through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the annual period of adoption, with early adoption permitted. For purposes of determining the cumulative effect adjustment, the guidance shall be applied only to equity-classified non-employee share-based payments for which a measurement date has not been established and liability-classified non-employee share-based payments that have not been settled as of the date of adoption. January 1, 2019 We have not yet determined the expected impact on our financial position or results of operations. ASC Description Date of Adoption Effect on Financial Statements ASC 842 "Leases" This update changes the accounting for leases, requiring lessees to report most leases on their balance sheets, regardless of whether the lease is classified as a finance lease or an operating lease. For lessees, the initial lease liability is equal to the present value of lease payments, and a corresponding asset, adjusted for certain items, is also recorded. Expense recognition for lessees will remain similar to current accounting requirements for capital and operating leases. For lessors, the guidance modifies the classification criteria and the accounting for sales-type and direct financing leases. The guidance is to be applied using a modified retrospective approach at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented and early adoption is permitted. January 1, 2019 We have not yet determined the expected impact on our financial position or results of operations. ASC 326 "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses" This update amends the guidance on the impairment of financial instruments. The update adds an impairment model known as the current expected credit loss model that is based on expected losses rather than incurred losses and will generally result in earlier recognition of allowances for losses. The current expected credit loss model applies to financial instruments such as mortgage loans, fixed maturity securities classified as held-to-maturity, and certain receivables. The update also modifies the other-than-temporary impairment model used for available-for-sale fixed maturity securities such that credit losses are recognized as an allowance rather than as a reduction in the amortized cost of the security. The reversal of previously recognized credit losses on available-for-sale fixed maturity securities is allowed under specified circumstances. Additional disclosures will also be required, including information used to develop the allowance for losses. The guidance is to be applied to most instruments in scope using a modified retrospective approach at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented with early adoption permitted. For available-for-sale fixed maturity securities, the update is applied prospectively. Other-than-temporary impairment losses recognized on available-for-sale fixed maturity securities prior to adoption of the update cannot be reversed. January 1, 2020 We have not yet determined the expected impact on our financial position or results of operations. ASC 350 "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other" This update eliminates the requirement to calculate the implied fair value of goodwill (the second step in the current two-step test) to measure a goodwill impairment charge. Instead, entities should perform the goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount and recognize an impairment charge for the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value, with the loss not to exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The guidance is to be applied prospectively, with early adoption permitted for goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. January 1, 2020 The adoption of this update is not expected to have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.

The guidance is to be applied using a modified retrospective approach through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the annual period of adoption, with early adoption permitted. For purposes of determining the cumulative effect adjustment, the guidance shall be applied only to equity-classified non-employee share-based payments for which a measurement date has not been established and liability-classified non-employee share-based payments that have not been settled as of the date of adoption. January 1, 2019 We have not yet determined the expected impact on our financial position or results of operations. ASC Description Date of Adoption Effect on Financial Statements ASC 842 "Leases" This update changes the accounting for leases, requiring lessees to report most leases on their balance sheets, regardless of whether the lease is classified as a finance lease or an operating lease. For lessees, the initial lease liability is equal to the present value of lease payments, and a corresponding asset, adjusted for certain items, is also recorded. Expense recognition for lessees will remain similar to current accounting requirements for capital and operating leases. For lessors, the guidance modifies the classification criteria and the accounting for sales-type and direct financing leases. The guidance is to be applied using a modified retrospective approach at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented and early adoption is permitted. January 1, 2019 We have not yet determined the expected impact on our financial position or results of operations. ASC 326 "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses" This update amends the guidance on the impairment of financial instruments. The update adds an impairment model known as the current expected credit loss model that is based on expected losses rather than incurred losses and will generally result in earlier recognition of allowances for losses. The current expected credit loss model applies to financial instruments such as mortgage loans, fixed maturity securities classified as held-to-maturity, and certain receivables. The update also modifies the other-than-temporary impairment model used for available-for-sale fixed maturity securities such that credit losses are recognized as an allowance rather than as a reduction in the amortized cost of the security. The reversal of previously recognized credit losses on available-for-sale fixed maturity securities is allowed under specified circumstances. Additional disclosures will also be required, including information used to develop the allowance for losses. The guidance is to be applied to most instruments in scope using a modified retrospective approach at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented with early adoption permitted. For available-for-sale fixed maturity securities, the update is applied prospectively. Other-than-temporary impairment losses recognized on available-for-sale fixed maturity securities prior to adoption of the update cannot be reversed. January 1, 2020 We have not yet determined the expected impact on our financial position or results of operations. ASC 350 "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other" This update eliminates the requirement to calculate the implied fair value of goodwill (the second step in the current two-step test) to measure a goodwill impairment charge. Instead, entities should perform the goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount and recognize an impairment charge for the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value, with the loss not to exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The guidance is to be applied prospectively, with early adoption permitted for goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. January 1, 2020 The adoption of this update is not expected to have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Values of Financial Instruments	Fair Value Measurements for Financial Instruments Carried at Fair Value We report fixed maturity securities, which are classified as available-for-sale securities, derivative financial instruments, and unrestricted equity securities at fair value in our consolidated balance sheets. We report our investments in private equity partnerships at our share of the partnerships' net asset value (NAV) as a practical expedient for fair value. The degree of judgment utilized in measuring the fair value of financial instruments generally correlates to the level of pricing observability. Financial instruments with readily available active quoted prices or for which fair value can be measured from actively quoted prices in active markets generally have more pricing observability and less judgment utilized in measuring fair value. An active market for a financial instrument is a market in which transactions for an asset or a similar asset occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. A quoted price in an active market provides the most reliable evidence of fair value and should be used to measure fair value whenever available. Conversely, financial instruments rarely traded or not quoted have less observability and are measured at fair value using valuation techniques that require more judgment. Pricing observability is generally impacted by a number of factors, including the type of financial instrument, whether the financial instrument is new to the market and not yet established, the characteristics specific to the transaction, and overall market conditions. We classify financial instruments in accordance with a fair value hierarchy consisting of three levels based on the observability of valuation inputs: • Level 1 - the highest category of the fair value hierarchy classification wherein inputs are unadjusted and represent quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date. • Level 2 - valued using inputs (other than prices included in Level 1) that are either directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability through correlation with market data at the measurement date and for the duration of the instrument's anticipated life. • Level 3 - the lowest category of the fair value hierarchy and reflects the judgment of management regarding what market participants would use in pricing assets or liabilities at the measurement date. Financial assets and liabilities categorized as Level 3 are generally those that are valued using unobservable inputs to extrapolate an estimated fair value. Valuation Methodologies of Financial Instruments Measured at Fair Value Valuation techniques used for assets and liabilities accounted for at fair value are generally categorized into three types. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information from market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities. The income approach converts future amounts, such as cash flows or earnings, to a single present amount, or a discounted amount. The cost approach is based upon the amount that currently would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset, or the current replacement cost. We use valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available that can be obtained without undue cost and effort. In some cases, a single valuation technique will be appropriate (for example, when valuing an asset or liability using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets or liabilities). In other cases, multiple valuation techniques will be appropriate. If we use multiple valuation techniques to measure fair value, we evaluate and weigh the results, as appropriate, considering the reasonableness of the range indicated by those results. A fair value measurement is the point within that range that is most representative of fair value in the circumstances. The selection of the valuation method(s) to apply considers the definition of an exit price and depends on the nature of the asset or liability being valued. For assets and liabilities accounted for at fair value, we generally use valuation techniques consistent with the market approach, and to a lesser extent, the income approach. We believe the market approach provides more observable data than the income approach, considering the type of investments we hold. Our fair value measurements could differ significantly based on the valuation technique and available inputs. When using a pricing service, we obtain the vendor's pricing documentation to ensure we understand their methodologies. We periodically review and approve the selection of our pricing vendors to ensure we are in agreement with their current methodologies. When markets are less active, brokers may rely more on models with inputs based on the information available only to the broker. Our internal investment management professionals, which include portfolio managers and analysts, monitor securities priced by brokers and evaluate their prices for reasonableness based on benchmarking to available primary and secondary market information. In weighing a broker quote as an input to fair value, we place less reliance on quotes that do not reflect the result of market transactions. We also consider the nature of the quote, particularly whether the quote is a binding offer. If prices in an inactive market do not reflect current prices for the same or similar assets, adjustments may be necessary to arrive at fair value. When relevant market data is unavailable, which may be the case during periods of market uncertainty, the income approach can, in suitable circumstances, provide a more appropriate fair value. During 2018 , we have applied valuation approaches and techniques on a consistent basis to similar assets and liabilities and consistent with those approaches and techniques used at year end 2017 . Fixed Maturity and Equity Securities We use observable and unobservable inputs in measuring the fair value of our fixed maturity and equity securities. For securities categorized as Level 1, fair values equal active Trade Reporting and Compliance Engine (TRACE) pricing or unadjusted broker market maker prices. For securities categorized as Level 2 or Level 3, inputs that may be used in valuing each class of securities at any given time period are disclosed below. Actual inputs used to determine fair values will vary for each reporting period depending on the availability of inputs which may, at times, be affected by the lack of market liquidity.

We review all prices obtained to ensure they are consistent with a variety of observable market inputs and to verify the validity of a security's price. In the event we receive a vendor's market price that does not appear reasonable based on our market analysis, we may challenge the price and request further information about the assumptions and methodologies used by the vendor to price the security. We may change the vendor price based on a better data source such as an actual trade. We also review all price changes from the prior month which fall outside a predetermined corridor. The overall valuation process for determining fair values may include adjustments to valuations obtained from our pricing sources when they do not represent a valid exit price. These adjustments may be made when, in our judgment and considering our knowledge of the financial conditions and industry in which the issuer operates, certain features of the financial instrument require that an adjustment be made to the value originally obtained from our pricing sources. These features may include the complexity of the financial instrument, the market in which the financial instrument is traded, counterparty credit risk, credit structure, concentration, or liquidity. Additionally, an adjustment to the price derived from a model typically reflects our judgment of the inputs that other participants in the market for the financial instrument being measured at fair value would consider in pricing that same financial instrument. In the event an asset is sold, we test the validity of the fair value determined by our valuation techniques by comparing the selling price to the fair value determined for the asset in the immediately preceding month end reporting period. Certain of our investments do not have readily determinable market prices and/or observable inputs or may at times be affected by the lack of market liquidity. For these securities, we use internally prepared valuations combining matrix pricing with vendor purchased software programs, including valuations based on estimates of future profitability, to estimate the fair value. Additionally, we may obtain prices from independent third-party brokers to aid in establishing valuations for certain of these securities. Key assumptions used by us to determine fair value for these securities include risk free interest rates, risk premiums, performance of underlying collateral (if any), and other factors involving significant assumptions which may or may not reflect those of an active market. The parameters and inputs used to validate a price on a security may be adjusted for assumptions about risk and current market conditions on a quarter to quarter basis, as certain features may be more significant drivers of valuation at the time of pricing. Changes to inputs in valuations are not changes to valuation methodologies; rather, the inputs are modified to reflect direct or indirect impacts on asset classes from changes in market conditions. At June 30, 2018 , 19.1 percent of our fixed maturity securities were valued using active trades from TRACE pricing or broker market maker prices for which there was current market activity in that specific security (comparable to receiving one binding quote). The prices obtained were not adjusted, and the assets were classified as Level 1. The remaining 80.9 percent of our fixed maturity securities were valued based on non-binding quotes or other observable and unobservable inputs, as discussed below: • 67.2 percent of our fixed maturity securities were valued based on prices from pricing services that generally use observable inputs such as prices for securities or comparable securities in active markets in their valuation techniques. These assets were classified as Level 2. • 3.4 percent of our fixed maturity securities were valued based on one or more non-binding broker quotes, if validated by observable market data, or on TRACE prices for identical or similar assets absent current market activity. When only one price is available, it is used if observable inputs and analysis confirms that it is appropriate. These assets, for which we were able to validate the price using other observable market data, were classified as Level 2. • 10.3 percent of our fixed maturity securities were valued based on prices of comparable securities, matrix pricing, market models, and/or internal models or were valued based on non-binding quotes with no other observable market data. These assets were classified as either Level 2 or Level 3, with the categorization dependent on whether there was other observable market data. Derivatives Fair values for derivatives other than embedded derivatives in modified coinsurance arrangements are based on market quotes or pricing models and represent the net amount of cash we would have paid or received if the contracts had been settled or closed as of the last day of the period. We analyze credit default swap spreads relative to the average credit spread embedded within the LIBOR-setting syndicate in determining the effect of credit risk on our derivatives' fair values. If net counterparty credit risk for a derivative asset is determined to be material and is not adequately reflected in the LIBOR-based fair value obtained from our pricing sources, we adjust the valuations obtained from our pricing sources. For purposes of valuing net counterparty risk, we measure the fair value of a group of financial assets and financial liabilities on the basis of the price that would be received to sell a net long position or transfer a net short position for a particular risk exposure in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. In regard to our own credit risk component, we adjust the valuation of derivative liabilities wherein the counterparty is exposed to our credit risk when the LIBOR-based valuation of our derivatives obtained from pricing sources does not effectively include an adequate credit component for our own credit risk. Fair values for our embedded derivative in a modified coinsurance arrangement are estimated using internal pricing models and represent the hypothetical value of the duration mismatch of assets and liabilities, interest rate risk, and third party credit risk embedded in the modified coinsurance arrangement. We consider transactions in inactive markets to be less representative of fair value. We use all available observable inputs when measuring fair value, but when significant unobservable inputs are used, we classify these assets or liabilities as Level 3. Private Equity Partnerships Our private equity partnerships represent funds that are primarily invested in private credit, private equity, and real assets, as described below. Distributions received from the funds arise from income generated by the underlying investments as well as the liquidation of the underlying investments. There is generally not a public market for these investments. The following table presents additional information about our private equity partnerships as of June 30, 2018 , including commitments for additional investments which may or may not be funded: Investment Category Fair Value Redemption Term / Redemption Notice Unfunded Commitments (in millions of dollars) (in millions of dollars) Private Credit (a) $ 158.1 Not redeemable $ 87.9 24.6 Initial 2 year lock on each new investment / Quarterly after 2 year lock with 90 days notice 10.4 Total Private Credit 182.7 98.3 Private Equity (b) 121.4 Not redeemable 182.0 Real Assets (c) 111.9 Not redeemable 98.4 30.2 Quarterly / 90 days notice — Total Real Assets 142.1 98.4 Total Partnerships $ 446.2 $ 378.7 (a) Private Credit - The limited partnerships described in this category employ various investment strategies, generally providing direct lending or other forms of debt financing including first-lien, second-lien, mezzanine, and subordinated loans. The limited partnerships have credit exposure to corporates, physical assets, and/or financial assets within a variety of industries (including manufacturing, healthcare, energy, business services, technology, materials, and retail) in North America and, to a lesser extent, outside of North America. As of June 30, 2018 , the estimated remaining life of the investments that do not allow for redemptions is approximately 25 percent in the next 3 years, 47 percent during the period from 3 to 5 years, 24 percent during the period from 5 to 10 years, and 4 percent after the period of 15 years. (b) Private Equity - The limited partnerships described in this category employ various strategies generally investing in controlling or minority control equity positions directly in companies and/or assets across various industries (including manufacturing, healthcare, energy, business services, technology, materials, and retail), primarily in private markets within North America and, to a lesser extent, outside of North America. As of June 30, 2018 , the estimated remaining life of the investments that do not allow for redemptions is approximately 30 percent in the next 3 years, 29 percent during the period from 3 to 5 years, 39 percent during the period from 5 to 10 years, and 2 percent after the period of 15 years. (c) Real Assets - The limited partnerships described in this category employ various strategies, which include investing in the equity and/or debt financing of physical assets, including infrastructure (energy, power, water/wastewater, communications), transportation (including airports, ports, toll roads, aircraft, railcars) and real estate in North America, Europe, South America, and Asia. As of June 30, 2018 , the estimated remaining life of the investments that do not allow for redemptions is approximately 2 percent in the next 3 years, 23 percent during period from 3 to 5 years, 71 percent during the period from 5 to 10 years, and 4 percent during the period from 10 to 15 years.

Changes in assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) are as follows: Three Months Ended June 30, 2018 Total Realized and Unrealized Investment Gains (Losses) Included in Level 3 Transfers Fair Value Beginning of Period Earnings Other Comprehensive Income or Loss Purchases Sales Into Out of Fair Value End of Period (in millions of dollars) Fixed Maturity Securities States, Municipalities, and Political Subdivisions $ 35.7 $ — $ 0.8 $ — $ — $ — $ — $ 36.5 Foreign Governments 32.3 — (0.8 ) — — — — 31.5 Public Utilities 284.2 — (0.8 ) — — 49.4 (163.6 ) 169.2 Mortgage/Asset-Backed Securities 0.5 — — — — — — 0.5 All Other Corporate Bonds 987.2 1.9 (16.1 ) 9.9 (37.5 ) 409.3 (538.4 ) 816.3 Redeemable Preferred Stocks 22.2 — (0.6 ) — — — — 21.6 Total Fixed Maturity Securities 1,362.1 1.9 (17.5 ) 9.9 (37.5 ) 458.7 (702.0 ) 1,075.6 Equity Securities 1.1 — — — — — — 1.1 Embedded Derivative in Modified Coinsurance Arrangement (17.6 ) (2.3 ) — — — — — (19.9 ) Three Months Ended June 30, 2017 Total Realized and Unrealized Investment Gains (Losses) Included in Level 3 Transfers Fair Value Beginning of Period Earnings Other Comprehensive Income or Loss Purchases Sales Into Out of Fair Value End of Period (in millions of dollars) Fixed Maturity Securities States, Municipalities, and Political Subdivisions $ 0.4 $ — $ 0.3 $ — $ (0.1 ) $ 36.6 $ (0.4 ) $ 36.8 Public Utilities 312.5 — 0.3 — — 48.0 (168.3 ) 192.5 All Other Corporate Bonds 923.0 (0.6 ) 5.6 — (29.1 ) 237.6 (283.3 ) 853.2 Redeemable Preferred Stocks 22.9 — 0.2 — — — — 23.1 Total Fixed Maturity Securities 1,258.8 (0.6 ) 6.4 — (29.2 ) 322.2 (452.0 ) 1,105.6 Equity Securities 1.2 — — — — — — 1.2 Embedded Derivative in Modified Coinsurance Arrangement (38.1 ) 6.2 — — — — — (31.9 ) Six Months Ended June 30, 2018 Total Realized and Level 3 Transfers Fair Value Beginning Earnings Other Purchases Sales Into Out of Fair Value End of (in millions of dollars) Fixed Maturity Securities States, Municipalities, and Political Subdivisions $ — $ — $ — $ — $ (0.1 ) $ 36.6 $ — $ 36.5 Foreign Governments — — (1.3 ) — — 32.8 — 31.5 Public Utilities 207.7 — (3.6 ) — — 81.7 (116.6 ) 169.2 Mortgage/Asset-Backed Securities — — — — — 0.5 — 0.5 All Other Corporate Bonds 1,150.1 1.8 (35.4 ) 26.0 (71.3 ) 415.2 (670.1 ) 816.3 Redeemable Preferred Stocks 22.8 — (1.2 ) — — — — 21.6 Total Fixed Maturity Securities 1,380.6 1.8 (41.5 ) 26.0 (71.4 ) 566.8 (786.7 ) 1,075.6 Equity Securities 1.1 — — — — — — 1.1 Embedded Derivative in Modified Coinsurance Arrangement (15.9 ) (4.0 ) — — — — — (19.9 ) Six Months Ended June 30, 2017 Total Realized and Level 3 Transfers Fair Value Beginning Earnings Other Purchases Sales Into Out of Fair Value End of (in millions of dollars) Fixed Maturity Securities States, Municipalities, and Political Subdivisions $ 89.5 $ — $ 0.3 $ — $ — $ — $ (53.0 ) $ 36.8 Public Utilities 265.3 — 1.2 8.0 (4.8 ) 72.0 (149.2 ) 192.5 All Other Corporate Bonds 1,459.7 (0.6 ) 10.9 — (81.2 ) 313.0 (848.6 ) 853.2 Redeemable Preferred Stocks 23.2 — (0.1 ) — — — — 23.1 Total Fixed Maturity Securities 1,837.7 (0.6 ) 12.3 8.0 (86.0 ) 385.0 (1,050.8 ) 1,105.6 Equity Securities 1.2 — — — — — — 1.2 Embedded Derivative in Modified Coinsurance Arrangement (46.7 ) 14.8 — — — — — (31.9 ) Realized and unrealized investment gains and losses presented in the preceding tables represent gains and losses only for the time during which the applicable financial instruments were classified as Level 3. The transfers between levels resulted primarily from a change in observability of three inputs used to determine fair values of the securities transferred: (1) transactional data for new issuance and secondary trades, (2) broker/dealer quotes and pricing, primarily related to changes in the level of activity in the market and whether the market was considered orderly, and (3) comparable bond metrics from which to perform an analysis. For fair value measurements of financial instruments that were transferred either into or out of Level 3, we reflect the transfers using the fair value at the beginning of the period. We believe this allows for greater transparency, as all changes in fair value that arise during the reporting period of the transfer are disclosed as a component of our Level 3 reconciliation. Gains (losses) which are included in earnings and are attributable to the change in fair value of assets or liabilities valued using significant unobservable inputs and still held at period end were $(2.3) million and $(4.0) million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 , respectively, and $6.2 million and $14.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 , respectively. These amounts relate entirely to the change in fair value of an embedded derivative in a modified coinsurance arrangement and are reported as a component of realized investment gains and losses. The table below provides quantitative information regarding the significant unobservable inputs used in Level 3 fair value measurements derived from internal models. Certain securities classified as Level 3 are excluded from the table below due to limitations in our ability to obtain the underlying inputs used by external pricing sources.

The unobservable input for market convention is not sensitive to input movements. The projected liability cash flows used in the fair value measurement of our Level 3 embedded derivative are based on expected claim payments. If claim payments increase, the projected liability cash flows will increase, resulting in a decrease in the fair value of the embedded derivative. Decreases in projected liability cash flows will result in an increase in the fair value of the embedded derivative. Fair Value Measurements for Financial Instruments Not Carried at Fair Value The methods and assumptions used to estimate fair values of financial instruments not carried at fair value are discussed as follows: Mortgage Loans: Fair values are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses and inter

Below-investment-grade fixed maturity securities are generally more likely to develop credit concerns than investment-grade securities. At June 30, 2018 , the unrealized losses in our below-investment-grade fixed maturity securities were generally due to credit spreads in certain industries or sectors and, to a lesser extent, credit concerns related to specific securities. For each specific security in an unrealized loss position, we believe that there are positive factors which mitigate credit concerns and that the securities for which we have not recorded an other-than-temporary impairment will recover in value. As of June 30, 2018 , we held 499 individual investment-grade fixed maturity securities and 104 individual below-investment-grade fixed maturity securities that were in an unrealized loss position, of which 137 investment-grade fixed maturity securities and 20 below-investment-grade fixed maturity securities had been in an unrealized loss position continuously for over one year. In determining when a decline in fair value below amortized cost of a fixed maturity security is other than temporary, we evaluate the following factors: • Whether we expect to recover the entire amortized cost basis of the security • Whether we intend to sell the security or will be required to sell the security before the recovery of its amortized cost basis • Whether the security is current as to principal and interest payments • The significance of the decline in value • The time period during which there has been a significant decline in value • Current and future business prospects and trends of earnings • The valuation of the security's underlying collateral • Relevant industry conditions and trends relative to their historical cycles • Market conditions • Rating agency and governmental actions • Bid and offering prices and the level of trading activity • Adverse changes in estimated cash flows for securitized investments • Changes in fair value subsequent to the balance sheet date • Any other key measures for the related security While determining other-than-temporary impairments is a judgmental area, we utilize a formal, well-defined, and disciplined process to monitor and evaluate our fixed income investment portfolio, supported by issuer specific research and documentation as of the end of each period. The process results in a thorough evaluation of problem investments and the recording of losses on a timely basis for investments determined to have an other-than-temporary impairment. We held no fixed maturity securities as of June 30, 2018 or December 31, 2017 for which a portion of an other-than-temporary impairment was recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income. At June 30, 2018 , we had commitments of $146.7 million to fund private placement fixed maturity securities, the amount of which may or may not be funded. Variable Interest Entities We invest in variable interests issued by variable interest entities. These investments include tax credit partnerships, private equity partnerships, and special purpose entities. For those variable interests that are not consolidated in our financial statements, we are not the primary beneficiary because we have neither the power to direct the activities that are most significant to economic performance nor the responsibility to absorb a majority of the expected losses. The determination of whether we are the primary beneficiary is performed at the time of our initial investment and at the date of each subsequent reporting period. As of June 30, 2018 , the carrying amount of our variable interest entity investments that are not consolidated in our financial statements was $556.2 million , comprised of $110.0 million of tax credit partnerships and $446.2 million of private equity partnerships. At December 31, 2017 , the carrying amount of our variable interest entity investments that are not consolidated in our financial statements was $535.4 million , comprised of $128.2 million of tax credit partnerships and $407.2 million of private equity partnerships. These variable interest entity investments are reported as other long-term investments in our consolidated balance sheets. The Company invests in tax credit partnerships primarily for the receipt of income tax credits and tax benefits derived from passive losses on the investments. Amounts recognized in the consolidated statements of income are as follows: Three Months Ended June 30 Six Months Ended June 30 2018 2017 2018 2017 (in millions of dollars) Income Tax Credits $ 10.3 $ 10.5 $ 20.7 $ 20.9 Amortization, net of tax (7.0 ) (5.8 ) (14.0 ) (11.6 ) Income Tax Benefit $ 3.3 $ 4.7 $ 6.7 $ 9.3 Contractually, we are a limited partner in these tax credit partnerships, and our maximum exposure to loss is limited to the carrying value of our investment, which includes $3.7 million of unfunded unconditional commitments at June 30, 2018 . See Note 3 for commitments to fund private equity partnerships. We are the sole beneficiary of a special purpose entity which is consolidated in our financial statements. This entity is a securitized asset trust containing a highly rated bond for principal protection which we contributed into the trust at the time it was established. There are no restrictions on the asset held in this trust, and the trust is free to dispose of the asset at any time. The fair values of the bond were $154.9 million and $154.1 million as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 , respectively. The bond is reported as a component of fixed maturity securities in our consolidated balance sheets. Mortgage Loans Our mortgage loan portfolio is well diversified by both geographic region and property type to reduce risk of concentration. All of our mortgage loans are collateralized by commercial real estate. When issuing a new loan, our general policy is not to exceed a loan-to-value ratio, or the ratio of the loan balance to the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral, of 75 percent. We update the loan-to-value ratios at least every three years for each loan, and properties undergo a general inspection at least every two years. Our general policy for newly issued loans is to have a debt service coverage ratio greater than 1.25 times on a normalized 25 year amortization period. We update our debt service coverage ratios annually. Mortgage loans by property type and geographic region are presented below.

The factors we use to derive our internal credit ratings may include the following: • Loan-to-value ratio • Debt service coverage ratio based on current operating income • Property location, including regional economics, trends and demographics • Age, condition, and construction quality of property • Current and historical occupancy of property • Lease terms relative to market • Tenant size and financial strength • Borrower's financial strength • Borrower's equity in transaction • Additional collateral, if any Although all available and applicable factors are considered in our analysis, loan-to-value and debt service coverage ratios are the most critical factors in determining whether we will initially issue the loan and also in assigning values and determining impairment. We assign an overall rating to each loan using an internal rating scale of Aa (highest quality) to B (lowest quality). We review and adjust, as needed, our internal credit quality ratings on an annual basis. This review process is performed more frequently for mortgage loans deemed to have a higher risk of delinquency. Mortgage loans, sorted by the applicable credit quality indicators, are as follows: June 30, 2018 December 31, 2017 (in millions of dollars) Internal Rating Aa $ 0.2 $ 0.4 A 471.7 445.7 Baa 1,708.0 1,753.0 Ba 10.7 14.1 Total $ 2,190.6 $ 2,213.2 Loan-to-Value Ratio <= 65% $ 1,078.2 $ 1,101.7 > 65% <= 75% 1,066.6 1,041.6 > 75% <= 85% 25.1 49.3 > 85% 20.7 20.6 Total $ 2,190.6 $ 2,213.2 At June 30, 2018 we held one mortgage loan which was modified in a troubled debt restructuring during the second quarter of 2018. The loan had a principal balance of $3.6 million prior to the restructuring, wherein the terms of the loan were modified to reduce monthly payments to interest-only at the current note rate and to permit a discounted payoff by September 2018. We recorded an allowance for credit losses on mortgage loans for this restructuring and recognized an impairment loss of $0.2 million . There were no troubled debt restructurings during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 . At June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 , we held no mortgage loans that were greater than 90 days past due regarding principal and/or interest payments. There have been no changes to our accounting policies or methodology from the prior period regarding estimating the allowance for credit losses on our mortgage loans. There was no activity in the allowance for credit losses during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 or 2017 other than the previously mentioned impairment loss of $0.2 million . At June 30, 2018 , we held one impaired mortgage loan with a net realizable value of $3.4 million . Our average investment in impaired mortgage loans was $1.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 . We did not hold any impaired mortgage loans during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, nor did we recognize any interest income on mortgage loans subsequent to impairment during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 or 2017 . At June 30, 2018 , we had commitments of $75.0 million to fund certain commercial mortgage loans, the amount of which may or may not be funded. Transfers of Financial Assets To manage our cash position more efficiently, we may enter into repurchase agreements with unaffiliated financial institutions. We generally use repurchase agreements as a means to finance the purchase of invested assets or for short-term general business purposes until projected cash flows become available from our operations or existing investments. Our repurchase agreements are typically outstanding for less than 30 days . We post collateral through our repurchase agreement transactions whereby the counterparty commits to purchase securities with the agreement to resell them to us at a later, specified date. The fair value of collateral posted is generally 102 percent of the cash received. Our investment policy also permits us to lend fixed maturity securities to unaffiliated financial institutions in short-term securities lending agreements. These agreements increase our investment income with minimal risk. Our securities lending policy requires that a minimum of 102 percent of the fair value of the securities loaned be maintained as collateral. We may receive cash and/or securities as collateral under these agreements. Cash received as collateral is typically reinvested in short-term investments. If securities are received as collateral, we are not permitted to sell or re-post them. As of June 30, 2018 , the carrying amount of fixed maturity securities loaned to third parties under our securities lending program was $59.7 million , for which we received collateral in the form of cash and securities of $14.9 million and $47.3 million , respectively. As of December 31, 2017 , the carrying amount of fixed maturity securities loaned to third parties under our securities lending program was $159.2 million , for which we received collateral in the form of cash and securities of $30.5 million and $135.6 million , respectively. We had no outstanding repurchase agreements at June 30, 2018 or December 31, 2017 . The remaining contractual maturities of our securities lending agreements disaggregated by class of collateral pledged are as follows: June 30, 2018 December 31, 2017 Overnight and Continuous (in millions of dollars) United States Government and Government Agencies and Authorities $ — $ 0.2 Public Utilities — 0.5 All Other Corporate Bonds 14.9 29.8 Total Borrowings 14.9 30.5 Gross Amount of Recognized Liability for Securities Lending Transactions 14.9 30.5 Amounts Related to Agreements Not Included in Offsetting Disclosure Contained Herein $ — $ — Certain of our U.S. insurance subsidiaries are members of regional FHLBs. Membership, which requires that we purchase a minimum amount of FHLB common stock on which we receive dividends, provides access to low-cost funding. Advances received from the FHLB are used for the purchase of fixed maturity securities. Additional common stock purchases may be required, based on the amount of funds we borrow from the FHLBs. The carrying value of common stock owned, collateral posted, and advances received are as follows: June 30, 2018 December 31, 2017 (in millions of dollars) Carrying Value of FHLB Common Stock $ 32.1 $ 34.1 Advances from FHLB 272.0 350.0 Carrying Value of Collateral Posted to FHLB Fixed Maturity Securities $ 223.8 $ 213.3 Commercial Mortgage Loans 291.7 331.5 Total Carrying Value of Collateral Posted to FHLB $ 515.5 $ 544.8 Offsetting of Financial Instruments We enter into master netting agreements with each of our derivatives counterparties. These agreements provide for conditional rights of set-off upon the occurrence of an early termination event. An early termination event is considered a default, and it allows the non-defaulting party to offset its contracts in a loss position against any gain positions or payments due to the defaulting party. Under our agreements, default type events are defined as failure to pay or deliver as contractually agreed, misrepresentation, bankruptcy, or merger without assumption. See Note 5 for further discussion of collateral related to our derivative contracts. We have securities lending agreements with unaffiliated financial institutions that post collateral to us in return for the use of our fixed maturity securities. A right of set-off exists that allows us to keep and apply collateral received in the event of default by the counterparty. Default within a securities lending agreement would typically occur if the counterparty failed to return the securities borrowed from us as contractually agreed. In addition, if we default by not returning collateral received, the counterparty has a right of set-off against our securities or any other amounts due to us. Shown below are our financial instruments that either meet the accounting requirements that allow them to be offset in our balance sheets or that are subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement. Our accounting policy is to not offset these financial instruments in our balance sheets. Net amounts disclosed below have been reduced by the amount of collateral pledged to or received from our counterparties.

Notes to Financial Statements [Abstract]
Derivative Financial Instruments	Purpose of Derivatives We are exposed to certain risks relating to our ongoing business operations. The primary risks managed by using derivative instruments are interest rate risk, risk related to matching duration for our assets and liabilities, foreign currency risk, and credit risk. Historically, we have utilized current and forward interest rate swaps, current and forward currency swaps, forward treasury locks, currency forward contracts, forward contracts on specific fixed income securities, and credit default swaps. Transactions hedging interest rate risk are primarily associated with our individual and group long-term care and individual and group disability products. All other product portfolios are periodically reviewed to determine if hedging strategies would be appropriate for risk management purposes. We do not use derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes. Derivatives designated as cash flow hedges and used to reduce our exposure to interest rate and duration risk are as follows: • Interest rate swaps are used to hedge interest rate risks and to improve the matching of assets and liabilities. An interest rate swap is an agreement in which we agree with other parties to exchange, at specified intervals, the difference between fixed rate and variable rate interest amounts. We use interest rate swaps to hedge the anticipated purchase of fixed maturity securities thereby protecting us from the potential adverse impact of declining interest rates on the associated policy reserves. We also use interest rate swaps to hedge the potential adverse impact of rising interest rates in anticipation of issuing fixed rate long-term debt. • Forward treasury locks are used to minimize interest rate risk associated with the anticipated purchase or disposal of fixed maturity securities. A forward treasury lock is a derivative contract without an initial investment where we and the counterparty agree to purchase or sell a specific U.S. Treasury bond at a future date at a pre-determined price. Derivatives designated as fair value hedges and used to reduce our exposure to interest rate and duration risk are as follows: • Interest rate swaps are used to effectively convert certain of our fixed rate securities into floating rate securities which are used to fund our floating rate long-term debt. Under these swap agreements, we receive a variable rate of interest and pay a fixed rate of interest. Additionally, we use interest rate swaps to effectively convert certain fixed rate, long-term debt into floating rate long-term debt. Under these swap agreements, we receive a fixed rate of interest and pay a variable rate of interest. Derivatives designated as either cash flow or fair value hedges and used to reduce our exposure to foreign currency risk are as follows: • Foreign currency interest rate swaps are used to hedge the currency risk of certain foreign currency-denominated fixed maturity securities owned for portfolio diversification. Under these swap agreements, we agree to pay, at specified intervals, fixed rate foreign currency-denominated principal and interest payments in exchange for fixed rate payments in the functional currency of the operating segment. Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments and used to reduce our exposure to foreign currency risk, credit losses on securities owned, and interest rate risk are as follows: • Foreign currency interest rate swaps previously designated as hedges were used to hedge the currency risk of certain foreign currency-denominated fixed maturity securities owned for portfolio diversification. These derivatives were effective hedges prior to novation to a new counterparty. In conjunction with the novation, these derivatives were de-designated as hedges. We agree to pay, at specified intervals, fixed rate foreign currency-denominated principal and interest payments in exchange for fixed rate payments in the functional currency of the operating segment. We hold offsetting swaps wherein we agree to pay fixed rate principal and interest payments in the functional currency of the operating segment in exchange for fixed rate foreign currency-denominated payments. • Credit default swaps are used as economic hedges against credit risk but do not qualify for hedge accounting. A credit default swap is an agreement in which we agree with another party to pay, at specified intervals, a fixed-rate fee in exchange for insurance against a credit event on a specific investment. If a defined credit event occurs, our counterparty may either pay us a net cash settlement or we may surrender the specific investment to them in exchange for cash equal to the full notional amount of the swap. Credit events typically include events such as bankruptcy, failure to pay, or certain types of debt restructuring. • Interest rate swap was used to effectively convert certain of our floating rate, long-term debt into fixed rate long-term debt. Under this swap agreement, we received a variable rate of interest and paid a fixed rate of interest. Derivative Risks The basic types of risks associated with derivatives are market risk (that the value of the derivative will be adversely impacted by changes in the market, primarily the change in interest and exchange rates) and credit risk (that the counterparty will not perform according to the terms of the contract). The market risk of the derivatives should generally offset the market risk associated with the hedged financial instrument or liability. To help limit the credit exposure of the derivatives, we enter into master netting agreements with our counterparties whereby contracts in a gain position can be offset against contracts in a loss position. We also typically enter into bilateral, cross-collateralization agreements with our counterparties to help limit the credit exposure of the derivatives. These agreements require the counterparty in a loss position to submit acceptable collateral with the other counterparty in the event the net loss position meets or exceeds an agreed upon amount. Credit exposure on derivatives is limited to the value of those contracts in a net gain position, including accrued interest receivable less collateral held. At June 30, 2018 , we had no credit exposure on derivatives. The table below summarizes the nature and amount of collateral received from and posted to our derivative counterparties. June 30, 2018 December 31, 2017 (in millions of dollars) Carrying Value of Collateral Received from Counterparties Cash $ 20.8 $ 15.7 Carrying Value of Collateral Posted to Counterparties Fixed Maturity Securities $ 39.5 $ 46.4 See Note 4 for further discussion of our master netting agreements. The majority of our derivative instruments contain provisions that require us to maintain specified issuer credit ratings and financial strength ratings. Should our ratings fall below these specified levels, we would be in violation of the provisions, and our derivatives counterparties could terminate our contracts and request immediate payment. The aggregate fair value of all derivative instruments with credit risk-related contingent features that were in a liability position was $46.7 million and $52.2 million at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 , respectively. Derivative Transactions The table below summarizes, by notional amounts, the activity for each category of derivatives. The notional amounts represent the basis upon which our counterparty pay and receive amounts are calculated. Swaps Receive Variable/Pay Fixed Receive Fixed/Pay Fixed Receive Fixed/Pay Variable Credit Default Forwards Total (in millions of dollars) Balance at March 31, 2017 $ 105.4 $ 596.2 $ 250.0 $ 70.0 $ — $ 1,021.6 Additions — — — — 16.0 16.0 Terminations 3.4 4.5 — — 16.0 23.9 Balance at June 30, 2017 $ 102.0 $ 591.7 $ 250.0 $ 70.0 $ — $ 1,013.7 Balance at December 31, 2016 $ 105.5 $ 616.5 $ 250.0 $ 70.0 $ 10.0 $ 1,052.0 Additions — — — — 16.0 16.0 Terminations 3.5 24.8 — — 26.0 54.3 Balance at June 30, 2017 $ 102.0 $ 591.7 $ 250.0 $ 70.0 $ — $ 1,013.7 Balance at March 31, 2018 $ 48.0 $ 556.4 $ 250.0 $ — $ 26.8 $ 881.2 Additions — 6.5 — — 20.6 27.1 Terminations 48.0 25.5 — — 26.8 100.3 Balance at June 30, 2018 $ — $ 537.4 $ 250.0 $ — $ 20.6 $ 808.0 Balance at December 31, 2017 $ 48.0 $ 536.5 $ 250.0 $ 70.0 $ — $ 904.5 Additions — 26.4 — — 47.4 73.8 Terminations 48.0 25.5 — 70.0 26.8 170.3 Balance at June 30, 2018 $ — $ 537.4 $ 250.0 $ — $ 20.6 $ 808.0 Cash Flow Hedges As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 , we had $318.4 million and $343.9 million , respectively, notional amount of receive fixed, pay fixed, open current and forward foreign currency interest rate swaps to hedge fixed income foreign currency-denominated securities. As of June 30, 2018 , we expect to amortize approximately $66.7 million of net deferred gains on derivative instruments during the next twelve months. This amount will be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income into earnings and reported on the same income statement line item as the hedged item. The income statement line items that will be affected by this amortization are net investment income and interest and debt expense. Additional amounts that may be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income into earnings to offset the earnings impact of foreign currency translation of hedged items are not estimable. As of June 30, 2018 , we are hedging the variability of future cash flows associated with forecasted transactions through the year 2038. Fair Value Hedges As of December 31, 2017 , we had $48.0 million notional amount of receive variable, pay fixed interest rate swaps to hedge the changes in fair value of certain fixed rate securities held which matured in the second quarter of 2018 along with the hedged securities. These swaps effectively converted the associated fixed rate securities into floating rate securities, which were used to fund our floating rate long-term debt. The change in fair value of the hedged fixed maturity securities attributable to the hedged benchmark interest rate resulted in a loss of $0.1 million and $0.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 , and $0.9 million and $2.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 , respectively, with an offsetting gain on the related interest rate swaps. As of June 30, 2018 , we had $26.4 million notional amount of receive fixed, pay fixed, open current and forward foreign currency interest rate swaps to hedge fixed income foreign currency-denominated securities. The change in fair value of the hedged fixed maturity securities attributable to the change in the foreign currency exchange rate resulted in a loss of $1.1 million and $1.4 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 , respectively, with an offsetting gain on the related forward foreign currency interest rate swaps. As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 , we had $250.0 million notional amount of receive fixed, pay variable interest rate swaps to hedge the changes in the fair value of certain fixed rate long-term debt. These swaps effectively convert the associated fixed rate long-term debt into floating rate debt and provide for a better matching of interest rates with our short-term investments, which have frequent interest rate resets similar to a floating rate security. The change in fair value of the hedged debt attributable to the hedged benchmark interest rate resulted in a gain (loss) of $0.4 million and $2.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 , and $(1.1) million and $(0.6) million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 , respectively, with an offsetting gain (loss) on the related interest rate swaps. The following table summarizes the carrying amount of hedged assets and liabilities and the related cumulative basis adjustments related to our fair value hedges. Carrying Amount of Hedged Assets (Liabilities) Cumulative Amount of Fair Value Hedging Adjustment Included in the Carrying Amount of the Hedged Assets (Liabilities) June 30, 2018 December 31, 2017 June 30, 2018 December 31, 2017 (in millions of dollars) Fixed maturity securities: Receive variable interest rate, pay fixed interest rate $ — $ 48.5 $ — $ 0.6 Receive fixed foreign currency interest, pay fixed foreign currency interest 24.0 — (1.4 ) — Long-term Debt (242.1 ) (244.8 ) 7.3 4.5 For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 , $1.0 million of the derivative instruments' gain was excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 , no component of the derivative instruments' gain or loss was excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness. There were no instances wherein we discontinued fair value hedge accounting due to a hedged firm commitment no longer qualifying as a fair value hedge. Derivatives not Designated as Hedging Instruments As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 , we held $192.6 million notional amount of receive fixed, pay fixed, foreign currency interest rate swaps. These derivatives are not designated as hedges, and as such, changes in fair value related to these derivatives are reported in earnings as a component of net realized investment gain or loss. As of December 31, 2017 , we held $70.0 million notional amount of single name credit default swaps. We entered into these swaps in order to mitigate the credit risk associated with specific securities owned. These swaps matured during the first quarter of 2018 and a de minimis gain was recognized on the maturities. As of December 31, 2016 , we held $3.5 million notional amount of a receive variable, pay fixed interest rate swap acquired through our purchase of Starmount in the third quarter of 2016. This swap effectively converted Starmount's floating rate long-term debt into fixed rate debt. During the second quarter of 2017, we purchased and retired the debt and terminated the interest rate swap. We recorded a loss of $0.1 million on the swap termination in our consolidated statements of income as a component of net realized investment gains and losses. See Note 12. We have an embedded derivative in a modified coinsurance arrangement for which we include in our realized investment gains and losses a calculation intended to estimate the value of the option of our reinsurance counterparty to cancel the reinsurance contract with us. However, neither party can unilaterally terminate the reinsurance agreement except in extreme circumstances resulting from regulatory supervision, delinquency proceedings, or other direct regulatory action. Cash settlements or collateral related to this embedded derivative are not required at any time during the reinsurance contract or at termination of the reinsurance contract. There are no credit-related counterparty triggers, and any accumulated embedded derivative gain or loss reduces to zero over time as the reinsured business winds down.

Interest accrued on prior year reserves has been calculated on the opening reserve balance less one-half of the period's claim payments relative to prior years at our average reserve discount rate for the respective periods. "Incurred Related to Prior Years - All Other Incurred" shown in the preceding chart is primarily impacted by the level of claim resolutions in the period relative to the long-term expectations reflected in the reserves. Our claim resolution rate assumption used in determining reserves is our expectation of the resolution rate we will experience over the life of the block of business and will vary from actual experience in any one period, both favorably and unfavorably. Reconciliation A reconciliation of policy and contract benefits and reserves for future policy and contract benefits as reported in our consolidated balance sheets to the liability for unpaid claims and claim adjustment expenses is as follows: June 30 2018 2017 (in millions of dollars) Policy and Contract Benefits $ 1,625.4 $ 1,552.5 Reserves for Future Policy and Contract Benefits 43,959.4 45,136.1 Total 45,584.8 46,688.6 Less: Life Reserves for Future Policy and Contract Benefits 8,276.9 8,136.5 Accident and Health Active Life Reserves 10,895.6 10,393.7 Adjustment Related to Unrealized Investment Gains and Losses 3,367.1 4,948.2 Liability for Unpaid Claims and Claim Adjustment Expenses $ 23,045.2 $ 23,210.2 The adjustment related to unrealized investment gains and losses reflects the changes that would be necessary to policyholder liabilities if the unrealized investment gains and losses related to the corresponding available-for-sale securities had been realized. Changes in this adjustment are reported as a component of other comprehensive income or loss.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Segment Information	Segment Information We have three principal operating business segments: Unum US, Unum UK, and Colonial Life. Our other segments are Closed Block and Corporate. Definitive Purchase Agreement In January of 2018, we entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Pramerica Zycie TUiR SA ("Pramerica"), a financial protection benefits provider in Poland.

We believe adjusted operating revenue and adjusted operating income or loss are better performance measures and better indicators of the revenue and profitability and underlying trends in our business. These performance measures are in accordance with GAAP guidance for segment reporting, but they should not be viewed as a substitute for total revenue, income before income tax, or net income. Realized investment gains or losses depend on market conditions and do not necessarily relate to decisions regarding the underlying business of our segments. Our investment focus is on investment income to support our insurance liabilities as opposed to the generation of realized investment gains or losses. Although we may experience realized investment gains or losses which will affect future earnings levels, a long-term focus is necessary to maintain profitability over the life of the business since our underlying business is long-term in nature, and we need to earn the interest rates assumed in calculating our liabilities. We may at other times exclude certain other items from our discussion of financial ratios and metrics in order to enhance the understanding and comparability of our operational performance and the underlying fundamentals, but this exclusion is not an indication that similar items may not recur and does not replace net income or net loss as a measure of our overall profitability. See Note 11 for further discussion regarding the loss from a guaranty fund assessment.

Employee Benefit Plans	Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Benefit (OPEB) Plans We sponsor several defined benefit pension and OPEB plans for our employees, including non-qualified pension plans. The U.S. qualified and non-qualified defined benefit pension plans comprise the majority of our total benefit obligation and benefit cost. We maintain a separate defined benefit plan for eligible employees in our U.K. operation. The U.S. defined benefit pension plans were closed to new entrants on December 31, 2013, the OPEB plan was closed to new entrants on December 31, 2012, and the U.K. plan was closed to new entrants on December 31, 2002.

Stockholders' Equity and Earnings Per Common Share [Abstract]
Earnings Per Share Disclosure	Earnings Per Common Share Net income per common share is determined as follows: Three Months Ended June 30 Six Months Ended June 30 2018 2017 2018 2017 (in millions of dollars, except share data) Numerator Net Income $ 285.5 $ 245.1 $ 559.0 $ 475.0 Denominator (000s) Weighted Average Common Shares - Basic 220,776.7 227,454.4 221,335.7 228,437.0 Dilution for Assumed Exercises of Stock Options and Nonvested Stock Awards 286.0 724.3 484.5 836.8 Weighted Average Common Shares - Assuming Dilution 221,062.7 228,178.7 221,820.2 229,273.8 Net Income Per Common Share Basic $ 1.29 $ 1.08 $ 2.53 $ 2.08 Assuming Dilution $ 1.29 $ 1.07 $ 2.52 $ 2.07 We use the treasury stock method to account for the effect of outstanding stock options, nonvested restricted stock units, and nonvested performance share units on the computation of diluted earnings per share. Under this method, these potential common shares will each have a dilutive effect, as individually measured, when the average market price of Unum Group common stock during the period exceeds the exercise price of the stock options and the grant price of the nonvested restricted stock units and the nonvested performance share units. The outstanding stock options have exercise prices ranging from $23.35 to $26.29 , the nonvested restricted stock units have grant prices ranging from $27.85 to $55.26 , and the nonvested performance share units have grant prices ranging from $27.85 to $49.86 . In computing earnings per share assuming dilution, only potential common shares that are dilutive (those that reduce earnings per share) are included. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 , there were approximately 0.7 million and 0.4 million potential common shares, respectively, that were excluded in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the impact would be antidilutive, based on then current market prices. There were approximately 0.4 million potential common shares that were antidilutive for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 .
Stockholders' Equity Disclosure	Common Stock During the second quarter of 2018, our board of directors authorized the repurchase of up to $750.0 million of Unum Group's outstanding common stock through November 24, 2019. This authorization replaced the previous authorization of $750.0 million that was scheduled to expire on November 25, 2018. The remaining repurchase amount under the new program was $650.0 million at June 30, 2018 . Common stock repurchases, which are accounted for using the cost method and classified as treasury stock until otherwise retired, were as follows: Three Months Ended June 30 Six Months Ended June 30 2018 2017 2018 2017 (in millions) Shares Repurchased 2.5 2.2 4.4 4.3 Cost of Shares Repurchased (1) $ 100.1 $ 100.1 $ 200.3 $ 200.1 (1) Includes a de minimis amount of commissions for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 . For the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 , these amounts included commissions of $0.2 million and $0.1 million , respectively. Preferred Stock Unum Group has 25.0 million shares of preferred stock authorized with a par value of $0.10 per share. No preferred stock has been issued to date.

Commitments and Contingent Liab

Commitments and Contingent Liabilities	6 Months Ended

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure	Commitments and Contingent Liabilities Contingent Liabilities We are a defendant in a number of litigation matters that have arisen in the normal course of business. Further, state insurance regulatory authorities and other federal and state authorities regularly make inquiries and conduct investigations concerning our compliance with applicable insurance and other laws and regulations. Given the complexity and scope of our litigation and regulatory matters, it is not possible to predict the ultimate outcome of all pending investigations or legal proceedings or provide reasonable estimates of potential losses, except if noted in connection with specific matters. In some of these matters, no specified amount is sought. In others, very large or indeterminate amounts, including punitive and treble damages, are asserted. There is a wide variation of pleading practice permitted in the United States courts with respect to requests for monetary damages, including some courts in which no specified amount is required and others which allow the plaintiff to state only that the amount sought is sufficient to invoke the jurisdiction of that court. Further, some jurisdictions permit plaintiffs to allege damages well in excess of reasonably possible verdicts. Based on our extensive experience and that of others in the industry with respect to litigating or resolving claims through settlement over an extended period of time, we believe that the monetary damages asserted in a lawsuit or claim bear little relation to the merits of the case, or the likely disposition value. Therefore, the specific monetary relief sought is not stated. Unless indicated otherwise in the descriptions below, reserves have not been established for litigation and contingencies. An estimated loss is accrued when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Claims Handling Matters We and our insurance subsidiaries, in the ordinary course of our business, are engaged in claim litigation where disputes arise as a result of a denial or termination of benefits. Most typically these lawsuits are filed on behalf of a single claimant or policyholder, and in some of these individual actions punitive damages are sought, such as claims alleging bad faith in the handling of insurance claims. For our general claim litigation, we maintain reserves based on experience to satisfy judgments and settlements in the normal course. We expect that the ultimate liability, if any, with respect to general claim litigation, after consideration of the reserves maintained, will not be material to our consolidated financial condition. Nevertheless, given the inherent unpredictability of litigation, it is possible that an adverse outcome in certain claim litigation involving punitive damages could, from time to time, have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations in a period, depending on the results of operations for the particular period. From time to time class action allegations are pursued where the claimant or policyholder purports to represent a larger number of individuals who are similarly situated. Since each insurance claim is evaluated based on its own merits, there is rarely a single act or series of actions which can properly be addressed by a class action. Nevertheless, we monitor these cases closely and defend ourselves appropriately where these allegations are made. Miscellaneous Matters Similar to other insurers, we were recently the subject of an examination by a third party acting on behalf of a number of state treasurers concerning our compliance with the unclaimed property laws of the participating states. We cooperated fully with this examination and in the fourth quarter of 2017, we started the process to reach a Global Resolution Agreement with the third party regarding settlement of the examination, which we finalized in January of 2018. Under the terms of the agreement, the third party acting on behalf of the signatory states compared insured data to the Social Security Administration's Death Master File (SSDMF) to identify deceased insureds and contract holders where a valid claim has not been made. During the fourth quarter of 2017, we established reserves which reflect our estimate of the liability expected to be paid as we execute on the terms of the settlement. We also are cooperating with a Delaware Market Conduct examination involving the same issue, which is currently inactive, as well as defending litigation on this issue in West Virginia, as described in the following paragraph. The legal and regulatory environment around unclaimed death benefits continues to evolve. It is possible that the current settlement and/or similar investigations by other state jurisdictions may result in payments to beneficiaries, the payment of abandoned funds under state law, and/or administrative penalties, the total of which may be in excess of the reserves established. In December 2012, State of West Virginia ex rel. John D. Perdue v. Provident Life and Accident Insurance Company and State of West Virginia ex rel. John D. Perdue v. Colonial Life & Accident Insurance Company were filed in the Circuit Court of Putnam County, West Virginia. These two separate complaints alleged violations of the West Virginia Uniform Unclaimed Property Act by failing to identify and report all unclaimed insurance policy proceeds due to be escheated to West Virginia. The complaints sought to examine company records and assess penalties and costs in an undetermined amount. In December 2013, the court dismissed both complaints, holding that the West Virginia Uniform Unclaimed Property Act does not require insurance companies to periodically search the SSDMF or escheat unclaimed life insurance benefits until a claim has been submitted. In January 2014, the plaintiff appealed the dismissal of both complaints. In June 2015, the appellate court reinstated the case, holding that the West Virginia Uniform Unclaimed Property Act requires insurers to make reasonable efforts to determine whether their insureds are still living. The case was remanded to the trial court where we answered the complaints. In 2016, the West Virginia Legislature enacted a law defining insurers’ duties with regard to unclaimed benefits for life insurance policies, annuity contracts, and retained asset accounts issued in West Virginia. In December 2016, we filed a motion to dismiss the complaints in light of this law. In June 2017, the court denied the motion. The case proceeded through discovery, and on May 25, 2018, the parties agreed to dismissal of both cases with prejudice. In 2009, a Pennsylvania-based insurance company and its affiliates were ordered into rehabilitation, and the Pennsylvania Insurance Commissioner, who was appointed as the Rehabilitator, filed petitions for liquidation with the Commonwealth Court of Pennsylvania. Under Pennsylvania law, payment of covered claims and other related insurance obligations are provided, within prescribed limits, by state guaranty associations. These guaranty associations assess fees to meet these obligations on insurance companies that sell insurance within the state, which are generally based on a company's pro rata portion of average premiums written or received for several years prior to the insolvency. In March 2017, a formal order of liquidation was issued, and as such, we were subject to an assessment by those guaranty associations that are responsible for policyholder claims, and accordingly accrued, in the first quarter of 2017, an estimated loss contingency. We continue to submit payment to satisfy this assessment as requests for payment are received from the guaranty associations. Securities Class Actions: Three alleged securities class action lawsuits have been filed against Unum Group and individual defendants as follows: On June 13, 2018, an alleged securities class action lawsuit entitled Cynthia Pittman v. Unum Group, Richard McKenney, John McGarry, and Daniel Waxenberg was filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Tennessee. The plaintiff seeks to represent purchasers of Unum Group publicly traded securities between January 31, 2018 and May 2, 2018. The plaintiff alleges the Company caused its shares to trade at artificially high levels by failing to disclose information about the rate of long-term care policy terminations and long-term care claim incidence resulting in misleading statements about capital management plans and long-term care reserves. The complaint asserts claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder and seeks compensatory damages in an amount to be proven at trial. The Company strongly denies these allegations and will vigorously defend the litigation. On July 13, 2018 an alleged securities class action lawsuit entitled Scott Cunningham v. Unum Group, Richard McKenney, John McGarry, and Daniel Waxenberg was filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Tennessee. The allegations, class period, and damages claimed mirror those in the Pittman matter. The Company strongly denies these allegations and will vigorously defend the litigation. On July 25, 2018 an alleged securities class action lawsuit entitled City of Taylor Police and Fire Retirement System v. Unum Group, Richard McKenney, John McGarry, Steve Zabel, and Daniel Waxenberg was filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Tennessee. The plaintiff seeks to represent purchasers of Unum Group publicly traded securities between October 27, 2016 and May 1, 2018. The allegations and damages claimed mirror those in the Pittman matter. The Company strongly denies these allegations and will vigorously defend the litigation. These alleged securities class action lawsuits are in a very preliminary stage, the outcome is uncertain, and the Company is unable to estimate a range of reasonably possible losses. Reserves have not been established for these matters. Although we believe these claims lack merit, an adverse outcome in one or more of these actions could, depending on the nature, scope, and amount of the ruling, materially adversely affect our consolidated results of operations in a period.

Debt and Other Disclosures [Abstract]
Debt Disclosure	Debt In May 2018, we issued $300.0 million of 6.25% junior subordinated notes due 2058. The notes are redeemable at or above par on or after June 15, 2023 and rank equally in the right of payment with our other junior subordinated debt securities. During the six months ended June 30, 2018 , we made principal payments of $30.0 million on our senior secured non-recourse notes issued by Northwind Holdings, LLC. At June 30, 2018 , short-term debt consisted entirely of our $200.0 million 7.00% senior unsecured notes, which subsequently matured in July 2018. At June 30, 2018 , letters of credit totaling $2.1 million had been issued from the credit facility, but there were no borrowed amounts outstanding. In June 2017, we purchased and retired the remaining $3.4 million of principal on our senior secured floating rate notes acquired through our purchase of Starmount. In conjunction with this retirement, we also terminated the interest rate swap associated with the hedge of these notes and recorded a $0.1 million loss in our consolidated statements of income as a component of net realized investment gains and losses. See Note 5 for further discussion.
Income Tax Disclosure	Income Tax On December 22, 2017, the U.S. Federal government enacted the TCJA, which reduces the federal corporate tax rate from 35 percent to 21 percent effective January 1, 2018. We are applying the guidance in Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) 118 when accounting for the enactment-date effects of TCJA. At June 30, 2018, our estimates recorded at December 31, 2017 for the tax effects of TCJA are not final and we have not recorded any adjustments related to those estimates during the first six months of 2018. We will continue to refine our calculations as additional analysis is completed and record the final amounts during the one year measurement period after the enactment date as allowed by SAB 118. Tax rate estimates recorded at December 31, 2017 and June 30, 2018 may be impacted by changes in accounting and tax interpretations of the TCJA legislation.

The transfers between levels resulted primarily from a change in observability of three inputs used to determine fair values of the securities transferred: (1) transactional data for new issuance and secondary trades, (2) broker/dealer quotes and pricing, primarily related to changes in the level of activity in the market and whether the market was considered orderly, and (3) comparable bond metrics from which to perform an analysis. For fair value measurements of financial instruments that were transferred either into or out of Level 3, we reflect the transfers using the fair value at the beginning of the period. We believe this allows for greater transparency, as all changes in fair value that arise during the reporting period of the transfer are disclosed as a component of our Level 3 reconciliation. Gains (losses) which are included in earnings and are attributable to the change in fair value of assets or liabilities valued using significant unobservable inputs and still held at period end were $(2.3) million and $(4.0) million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 , respectively, and $6.2 million and $14.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 , respectively. These amounts relate entirely to the change in fair value of an embedded derivative in a modified coinsurance arrangement and are reported as a component of realized investment gains and losses.
