Significant estimates and assumptions are utilized in the calculation of deferred policy acquisition costs, deferred sales inducements, policy benefit reserves, including the liability for lifetime income benefit riders and the fair value of embedded derivatives in fixed index annuity contracts, valuation of derivatives, valuation of investments, other than temporary impairment of investments, allowances for loan losses on mortgage loans and valuation allowances on deferred tax assets. A description of each critical estimate is incorporated within the discussion of the related accounting policies which follow. It is reasonably possible that actual experience could differ from the estimates and assumptions utilized.</span></div>

Significant estimates and assumptions are utilized in the calculation of deferred policy acquisition costs, deferred sales inducements, policy benefit reserves, including the liability for lifetime income benefit riders and the fair value of embedded derivatives in fixed index annuity contracts, valuation of derivatives, valuation of investments, other than temporary impairment of investments, allowances for loan losses on mortgage loans and valuation allowances on deferred tax assets. A description of each critical estimate is incorporated within the discussion of the related accounting policies which follow. It is reasonably possible that actual experience could differ from the estimates and assumptions utilized.</span></div>

style="font-family:inherit;font-size:9pt;">We periodically revise the key assumptions used in the calculation of amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs and deferred sales inducements retrospectively through an unlocking process when estimates of current or future gross profits (including the impact of realized investment gains and losses) to be realized from a group of products are revised. In addition, we periodically revise the assumptions used in determining the liability for lifetime income benefit riders as experience develops that is different from our assumptions. </span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:12px;padding-top:12px;text-align:justify;font-size:9pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:9pt;">We review these assumptions quarterly and as a result of these reviews, we made updates to assumptions in 2019, 2018 and 2017. In addition, we implemented an enhanced actuarial valuation system during 2019, and as a result, our 2019 assumption updates include model refinements resulting from the implementation.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:12px;padding-top:12px;text-align:justify;font-size:9pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:9pt;">The most significant assumption changes from the 2019 review were to lapse and utilization assumptions. We have credible lapse and utilization data based upon a comprehensive experience study spanning over </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:9pt;"><span>10 years</span></span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:9pt;"> on our products with lifetime income benefit riders and have experienced lapse rates that are lower than previously estimated. </span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:12px;padding-top:12px;text-align:justify;font-size:9pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:9pt;">Lower lapse assumptions result in an expectation that more policies will remain in force than previously anticipated which results in a greater amount of benefit payments in excess of account value and the need for a greater liability for lifetime income benefit riders. The decrease in lapse rate assumptions also results in policies being in force for a longer period of time and an increase in expected gross profits as compared to previous estimates. The higher level of expected future gross profits results in an increase in the balances of deferred policy acquisition costs and deferred sales inducements. </span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:12px;padding-top:12px;text-align:justify;font-size:9pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:9pt;">Our experience study also indicated that the ultimate utilization of certain lifetime income benefit riders is expected to be less than our prior assumptions and the timing of utilization of lifetime income benefit riders is later than in our prior assumptions. We reduced our ultimate utilization assumptions for fee riders from </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:9pt;"><span>75%</span></span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:9pt;"> to </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:9pt;"><span>60%</span></span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:9pt;"> and for no-fee riders from </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:9pt;"><span>37.5%</span></span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:9pt;"> to </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:9pt;"><span>30%</span></span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:9pt;">, for policies issued in 2014 and prior years. The net effect of the utilization assumption revisions resulted in a decrease in the liability for lifetime income benefit riders and partially offset the increase in the liability for lifetime income benefit riders from the change in lapse assumptions. </span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:12px;padding-top:12px;text-align:justify;font-size:9pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:9pt;">In addition, we revised our assumptions regarding future crediting rates on policies. We are assuming a </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:9pt;"><span>3.80%</span></span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:9pt;"> U.S. Treasury rate with a </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:9pt;">20</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:9pt;"> year mean reversion period. Our assumption for aggregate spread is </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:9pt;"><span>2.60%</span></span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:9pt;"> which translates to an ultimate discount rate of </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:9pt;"><span>2.90%</span></span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:9pt;">. While the aggregate spread of </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:9pt;"><span>2.60%</span></span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:9pt;"> did not change from prior estimates, our estimates of the profitability of individual issue year cohorts has changed with the use of an aggregate portfolio yield across all issue year cohorts. This assumption revision resulted in a change in the allocation of profitability by issue year cohort, which caused a reduction in the deferred policy acquisition costs and deferred sales inducements assets and partially offset the increase in the deferred policy acquisition costs and deferred sales inducements assets from the change in lapse assumptions. </span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:12px;padding-top:12px;text-align:justify;font-size:9pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:9pt;">The most significant revisions made during 2018 as a result of our quarterly reviews were account balance true-ups which were favorable to us due to stronger index credits than we assumed due to strong equity market performance and adjustments to generally decrease lapse rate assumptions to reflect better persistency experienced than assumed. The favorable impact of the account balance true-ups and lapse rate assumption changes was partially offset by revisions to lower our future investment spread assumptions primarily due to an increase in the cost of money we had been experiencing. </span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:12px;padding-top:12px;text-align:justify;font-size:9pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:9pt;">The most significant revisions made during 2017 as a result of our quarterly reviews were account balance true-ups which were favorable to us due to stronger index credits than we assumed due to strong equity market performance and adjustments to generally decrease lapse rate assumptions to reflect better persistency experienced than assumed. The favorable impact of the account balance true-ups and lapse rate assumption changes was partially offset by reductions in estimated future gross profits attributable to revisions to assumptions used in determining the liability for lifetime income benefit riders as well as an increase in estimated expenses associated with a reinsurance agreement with an unaffiliated reinsurer.</span></div><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:9pt;">The </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:9pt;">2018</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:9pt;"> and </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:9pt;">2017</span> revisions to the liability for lifetime income benefit riders were consistent with the revisions used in the calculation of amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs and deferred sales inducements described above. The 2018 revisions were primarily attributable to account balance true-ups and future investment spread assumptions. The impact of the account balance true-ups and future investment spread changes was partially offset by the lapse rate assumptions changes described above. The 2017 revisions were primarily due to the lapse rate assumption changes described above and changes to our account value growth projections.
