We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

 

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of investments owned as of December 31, 2023 by correspondence with the transfer agents of the investee mutual funds or the investee mutual funds directly. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

EQUITABLE AMERICA VARIABLE ACCOUNT A

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

December 31, 2023

 

1. Organization

 

Equitable America Variable Account A (the “Account” was established by Equitable Financial Life Insurance Company of America (“Equitable Financial”) on March 27, 1987. Equitable Financial is an Arizona stock life insurance company. On October 1, 2013, Equitable Financial entered into a reinsurance agreement with Protective Life Insurance Company (“Protective Life”) to reinsure an in-force book of life insurance and annuity policies written primarily prior to 2004.

 

The Account is registered with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and operates as a unit investment trust under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act").

EQUITABLE AMERICA VARIABLE ACCOUNT A

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

December 31, 2023

 

The Account holds assets that are segregated from all of Equitable Financial’s other assets and, at present, is used to support Flexible Payment Variable Annuity Policies, which include MONYMaster, MONY Value Master, MONY Custom Master and MONY Variable Annuity (collectively, the "Variable Annuity Policies"). These policies are issued by Equitable Financial, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Equitable Holdings, Inc.

 

Under applicable insurance law, the assets and liabilities of the Account are clearly identified and distinguished or segregated from those of Equitable Financial. The assets of the Account are the property of Equitable Financial. However, the portion of the Account’s assets attributable to the Variable Annuity Policies will not be charged with liabilities arising out of other business Equitable Financial may conduct.

 

The amount retained by Equitable Financial in the Account arises primarily from (1) contributions from Equitable Financial, (2) mortality and expense charges, administrative charges accumulated in the Account, and (3) that portion, determined ratably, of the Account’s investment results applicable to those assets in the Account in excess of the net assets, attributable to accumulation of units. Amounts retained by Equitable Financial are not subject to charges for mortality and expense charges and administrative charges. Amounts retained by Equitable Financial in the Account may be transferred at any time by Equitable Financial to its General Account (“General Account”).

 

Each of the Variable Investment Options of the Account bears indirect exposure to the market, credit, and liquidity risks of the portfolio in which it invests. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes of the Portfolios of the Trusts, which are distributed by Equitable Financial to the Contractowners of the Variable Investment Options of the Account.

 

In the normal course of business, Equitable Financial may have agreements to indemnify another party under given circumstances. The maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve estimates of future claims that may be, but have not been, made against the Variable Investment Options of the Account. Based on experience, management expects the risk of material loss to be remote.

 

2. Significant Accounting Policies

 

The accompanying financial statements are prepared in conformity with (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

EQUITABLE AMERICA VARIABLE ACCOUNT A

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

December 31, 2023

 

Investments:

 

Investments are made in shares of the Portfolios, and the fair values of investments are the reported net asset values per share of the respective Portfolios. The net asset values are determined by the Trusts using the fair value of the underlying assets of each Portfolio less liabilities.

 

Investment Transactions and Investment Income:

 

Investment transactions are recorded on the trade date. Dividend income and distributions of net realized gains from the Portfolios are recorded and automatically reinvested at the ex-dividend date. Realized gains and losses include: (1) gains and losses on the redemptions of investments in the Portfolios (determined on the identified cost basis) and (2) distributions representing the net realized gains on investments transactions.

 

Due to and Due From:

 

Receivable/payable for policy-related transactions represents amount due to/from Equitable Financial’s General Account primarily related to premiums, surrenders, death benefits and amounts transferred among the various funds by Contractowners. Receivable/payable for Trust shares represents unsettled trades.

 

Contract Payments and Transfers:

 

Payments received from Contractowners represent Contractowner contributions under the Variable Annuity Policies (but exclude amounts allocated to the guaranteed interest account with market value adjustment, reflected in the General Account) reduced by deductions and charges, including premium charges, as applicable, and state premium taxes.

 

Transfers between Variable Investment Options including the guaranteed interest account with market value adjustment, net, are amounts that Contractowners have directed to be moved among funds, including permitted transfers to and from the guaranteed interest account. The net assets of any Variable Investment Option may not be less than the aggregate value of the Contractowner accounts allocated to that Variable Investment Option. Equitable Financial is required by state insurance law to set aside additional assets in Equitable Financial’s General Account to provide for other policy benefits. Equitable Financial’s General Account assets support Equitable Financial’s insurance and annuity obligations and are subject to Equitable Financial’s general liabilities for business operations and to creditor rights.

EQUITABLE AMERICA VARIABLE ACCOUNT A

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

December 31, 2023

 

Redemptions for contract benefits and terminations are payments to Contractowners and beneficiaries made under the terms of the Variable Annuity Policies, and amounts that Contractowners have requested to be withdrawn and paid to them or applied to purchase annuities. Withdrawal charges, if any, are included in Transfers for contract benefits and terminations to the extent that such charges apply to the Variable Annuity Policies. Administrative charges, if any, are included in Contract maintenance charges to the extent that such charges apply to the Variable Annuity Policies.

 

Federal Income Taxes:

 

The results of the operations of the Account are included in the federal income tax return of Equitable Financial. Under the provisions of the contracts, Equitable Financial has the right to charge the Account for federal income tax attributable to the Account. No charge has been made against the Account for such tax during the year ended December 31, 2023. Management will periodically review the application of this policy in the event of changes in tax law. Accordingly, a change may be made in future years to consider charges for any federal income taxes that would be attributable to the contracts.

 

3. Fair Value Disclosures

 

The Account determined the fair value of its financial instruments based on the fair value hierarchy established in FASB guidance referenced in the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.

 

The Account has categorized its financial instruments, based on the priority of the inputs to the valuation technique, into a three level hierarchy as outlined within the applicable guidance. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). If the inputs used to measure fair value fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the category level is based on the lowest priority level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument. As there are no level 2 or level 3 assets in any period presented, disclosure of transfers between levels or disclosure of a reconciliation of level 3 assets is not required. In addition, there are no other financial assets or assets valued on a non-recurring basis.

 

Financial assets recorded at fair value in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities are categorized as follows:

 

Level 1: Quoted prices that are publicly available for identical assets in active markets. Level 1 fair values generally are supported by market transactions that occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.

 

Level 2: Quoted prices in markets that are not active or significant inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include the following:

 

a)Quoted prices for similar assets in active markets
b)Quoted prices for identical or similar assets in non-active markets
c)Inputs other than quoted market prices that are observable
d)Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data through correlation or other means.

 

51

 

 

EQUITABLE AMERICA VARIABLE ACCOUNT A

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

December 31, 2023

 

Level 3: Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. They reflect management’s own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in pricing the asset.

 

Determination of fair values:

 

The valuation methodologies used to determine the fair values of assets and liabilities under the FASB guidance referenced in the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic reflect market participant assumptions and are based on the application of the fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable market inputs over unobservable inputs. The Account determines the fair values of certain financial assets based on quoted market prices.

 

All of the investments in each Variable Investment Option of the Account are classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy as of December 31, 2023 and consist of open-ended mutual funds. Participants may, without restriction, transact at the daily net asset value (“NAV”) of the mutual funds. The NAV represents the daily per share value based on the fair value of the underlying portfolio of investments of the respective mutual funds.

5. Expenses and Related Party Transactions

 

Investment Manager and Advisors:

 

The assets in each Variable Investment Option are invested in shares of a corresponding Portfolio of the Trusts. Shares are offered by the Portfolios at net asset value. Shares in which the Variable Investment Options invest are categorized by the share class of the Portfolio. EQAT issues Class IA, Class IB and Class K shares. All share classes issued by EQAT are subject to fees for investment management, administration and other Portfolio expenses. Class A, Class IA, Class B and Class IB are also subject to distribution fees imposed under distribution plans (“Distribution Plans”) and adopted by EQAT in the manner prescribed under Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. The Distribution Plans provide that EQAT, on behalf of each related Portfolio, may charge a maximum annual distribution fee ("12b-1 fee") of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of a Portfolio attributable to its Class A, Class IA, Class B and Class IB shares. The class-specific expenses attributable to the investment in each share class of the Portfolios in which the Variable Investment Options invest are borne by the specific unit classes of the Variable Investment Options to which the investments are attributable.

 

EQAT, on behalf of each Portfolio, have entered into distribution agreements with Equitable Distributors, LLC (“Equitable Distributors”) a wholly-owned subsidiary of Equitable Financial and an affiliate of Equitable Investment Management Group, LLC (“EIMG”). The Distribution Plans provide that Equitable Distributors will be entitled to receive a maximum 12b-1 fee as described above.

 

EIMG, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Equitable Financial serves as investment adviser of the Portfolios of EQAT. EIMG either (1) directly manages the Portfolios or (2) contracts with and oversees the activities of the investment sub-advisers with respect to the Portfolios. EIMG receives management fees for services performed in its capacity as investment adviser of the Portfolios of EQAT, and pays fees to the sub-advisers for sub-advisory services to the respective Portfolios. Equitable Investment Management, LLC (“EIM”), an affiliate of Equitable Financial, serves as administrator of the Portfolios of EQAT. As the administrator, EIM either (1) carries out its responsibilities directly or (2) through sub-contracting with third-party providers. EIM receives administrative fees for services performed in its capacity as administrator of the Portfolios of EQAT. Expenses of the Portfolios of EQAT generally vary, depending on net asset levels for individual Portfolios, and range from a low annual rate of 0.64% to a high of 1.25% (after waivers, reimbursements, fees paid indirectly and including indirect expenses, as applicable) of the average daily net assets of the Portfolios of EQAT. Since these fees and expenses are reflected in the net asset value of the shares of the Portfolios and the total returns of the Variable Investment Options, they are not included in the expenses or expense ratios of the Variable Investment Options.

Equitable Financial, Equitable Advisors, LLC (“Equitable Advisors”) or Equitable Distributors may directly or indirectly receive 12b-1 fees and additional payments from certain unaffiliated Portfolios, their advisers, sub-advisers, distributors or affiliates, for providing certain administrative, marketing, distribution and/or shareholder support services in connection with the Variable Investment Options’ investment in the Portfolios. These fees and payments range from 0.12% to 0.50% of the unaffiliated Portfolios’ average daily net assets.

Equitable Advisors and Equitable Distributors are distributors and principal underwriters of the Variable Annuity Policies and the Account. They are both registered with the SEC as broker-dealers and are members of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA").

 

The Variable Annuity Policies are sold by financial professionals who are registered representatives of Equitable Advisors and licensed insurance agents of Equitable Network, LLC ("Equitable Network"), or its subsidiaries (affiliates of Equitable Financial). Equitable Network receives commissions under its General Sales Agreement with Equitable Financial and its Networking Agreement with Equitable Advisors. Equitable Advisors receives service related payments under its Supervisory and Distribution Agreement with Equitable Financial. The financial professionals are compensated on a commission basis by Equitable Network. The Variable Annuity Policies are also sold through licensed insurance agents (both affiliated and unaffiliated with Equitable Financial) and their affiliated broker-dealers (who are registered with the SEC and are members of the FINRA) that have entered into selling agreements with Equitable Distributors. The licensed insurance agents who sell Equitable Financial policies for these companies are appointed agents of Equitable Financial, and are registered representatives of the broker-dealers under contracts with Equitable Distributors.

7. Contractowner Charges and Asset-based Charges

 

Policy premiums received from Equitable Financial by the Account represent gross policy premiums recorded by Equitable Financial less deductions retained as compensation for certain sales distribution expenses and any premium taxes. Net policy premiums are included in “Payments received from Contractowners” in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets.

 

The charges below are the current annual charges deducted from the net unit value of the Variable Investment Options, or from the total amount under the policy in each Variable Investment Option (“fund value”) as a redemption of units. Higher charges may be permitted under the terms of the various policies. All charges are reflected as part of “Contractowners Transactions” in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets with the exception of Mortality & Expense Risk Charge which is reflected as “Asset-based Charges” in the Statement of Operations.

 

Mortality & Expense Risk Charge: This charge is deducted daily from the net unit value of the Variable Investment Options, and ranges from a low of 1.20% to a high of 2.85%.

 

Annual Contract Charge: This charge is deducted daily from the fund value, and ranges from a low of $0 to a high of $30.

 

Transfer Charge: Equitable Financial does not currently assess this charge, but reserves the right to impose a transfer charge for each transfer instructed by the Contractowner. This charge would be deducted from the fund value.

 

Surrender Charge: This charge is deducted from fund value and is imposed when a full or partial surrender is requested during the period specified in the Variable Annuity Policy. The amount of the charge varies, and is determined by multiplying the surrender charge percentage for the policy year by the amount of fund value, based on a grading schedule.

 

8. Financial Highlights

 

The Variable Annuity Policies have unique combinations of features and fees that are charged against the Contractowner’s account balance. Differences in the fee structures result in a variety of unit values, expenses ratios and total returns.

 

The ranges for total return ratios and unit values correspond to the product groupings that produced the lowest and highest expenses ratios. Due to the timing of the introduction of new products into the Account, contract charges and related unit values and total returns may fall outside of the ranges presented in the financial highlights.

* This ratio represents the amount of dividend income, excluding distributions from net realized gains, received by the Variable Investment Option from the Portfolio, divided by the average daily net assets. This ratio excludes those expenses, such as asset-based charges and Contractowner charges, that result in direct reductions in the unit value. The recognition of dividend income by the Variable Investment Option is affected by the timing of the declaration of dividends by the Portfolio in which the Variable Investment Options invests.

 

** This ratio represents the annual contract expenses consisting of mortality and risk expenses, for each period indicated. This ratio includes only those expenses that result in a direct reduction to unit value. Charges made directly to Contractowner account through the redemption of units and expenses of the respective Portfolio have been excluded. The summary may not reflect the minimum and maximum contract charges offered by the Company as Contractowners may not have selected all available and applicable contract options.

 

*** This ratio represents the total return for the periods indicated, including changes in the value of the Portfolio, and expenses assessed through the reduction of unit value. This ratio does not include any expenses, such as premium and withdrawal charges, as applicable, or expenses assessed through the redemption of units. The total return would have been lower had such expenses been included in the calculation. The effective date of the Variable Investment Options is indicated by a date notation, as applicable. The total return is calculated for each period indicated from the effective date through the end of the reporting period. For those Variable Investment Options with less than a year of operations, the total return is not annualized but calculated from the effective date through the end of the reporting period.

 

+ Share class reflects the shares of the portfolio that the Variable Investment Options invest in.
