Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

To the Contract Owners of Protective Acquired Variable Annuity Separate Account and the Board of Directors of Protective Life Insurance Company:

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of the subaccounts listed in Appendix A that comprise Protective Acquired Variable Annuity Separate Account (the Separate Account) as of December 31, 2023, the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the related notes (collectively, the financial statements) and the financial highlights for each of the years or periods in the five-year period then ended. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Separate Account as of December 31, 2023, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years or periods in the five-year period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Separate Account’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Separate Account in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our audits 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 and financial highlights 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 and financial highlights, 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 and financial highlights. Such procedures also included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2023, by correspondence with the underlying mutual funds or their transfer agents; when replies were not received, we performed other auditing procedures. 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 and financial highlights. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have served as the auditor of one or more Protective Life Insurance Company Separate Accounts since 2019.

PROTECTIVE ACQUIRED VARIABLE ANNUITY SEPARATE ACCOUNT

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2023

 

 

 

1.ORGANIZATION

 

The Protective Acquired Variable Annuity Separate Account (the “Separate Account”), a segregated unit investment trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, was originally established by Chase Insurance Life and Annuity Company (“CILAAC”). Protective Life Insurance Company (the “Company”), which exists in accordance with the Department of Commerce and Insurance of the State of Tennessee, purchased CILAAC from JPMorgan & Co. and CILAAC merged with and into the Company. As a result of this merger, the Company remained as the surviving legal entity. The Company has reinsured 100% of the variable annuity of CILAAC to Commonwealth Annuity and Life Insurance Company, a subsidiary of The Goldman Sachs Group Inc., formerly known as Allmerica Financial Life and Annuity Company. The Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Protective Life Corporation (“PLC”). PLC is a wholly owned subsidiary of Dai-ichi Life International Holding, LLC, a godo kaisha organized under the laws of Japan.

 

Under applicable insurance law, the assets and liabilities of the Separate Account are clearly identified and distinguished from the Company’s other assets and liabilities. The portion of the Separate Account's assets applicable to the variable annuity contracts (the “Contracts”) is not chargeable with liabilities arising out of any other business the Company may conduct.

 

The Separate Account is a funding vehicle for individual variable annuity Contracts; it consists of a number of subaccounts (the “Subaccounts”), also commonly referred to as investment divisions or funds, each of which is treated as an individual accounting entity for financial reporting purposes. The Separate Account's value at any time is allocated among Contract owners based on the number and value of their accumulation units representing their interest in the Separate Account; all of the investible assets of the Separate Account are invested in the corresponding mutual funds.

 

Contract owners may transfer some or all of the Contract value to the Company’s guaranteed account, which is not included in these financial statements. The assets of the Company support its insurance and annuity obligations and are subject to the Company's general liabilities from business operations.

 

New Contracts are no longer being sold under the products in the Separate Account, but owners of existing Contracts may make additional deposits.

 

The following is a list of the variable annuity products funded by the Separate Account:


Protective FI Variable Annuity

Protective RSG Advantage III

2.SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies of the Separate Account.

 

Investment valuation

Investments are made and measured in shares and are presented net of management fees and other operating expenses incurred by the Subaccounts. The investments are valued at the net asset values of the mutual funds, which value their investment securities at fair value. Transactions with the mutual funds are recognized on the trade date.

 

The Separate Account classifies its valuations into three levels based upon the observability of inputs to the valuation of the Separate Account’s investments. The valuation levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with the underlying investment. When considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, the following fair value hierarchy distinguishes between observable and unobservable inputs, which are categorized in one of the following levels:

 

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices for identical securities in active markets.

 

Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable either directly or indirectly. These may include quoted prices for similar assets in active markets.

 

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs to the extent observable inputs are not available and may include prices obtained from single broker quotes. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions and would be based on the best information available under the circumstances.

 

The Separate Account determines the fair values of certain financial assets based on quoted market prices. All of the investments in the Subaccounts of the Separate Account are classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy 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 Subaccounts.

 

Receivables and payables from (to) the Contracts and the fund manager

Receivables and payables from (to) the Contracts and the fund manager include trading activity initiated at the Contract level from the last business day of the year that has not yet been settled with the fund manager.

 

Receivables and payables from (to) the Company

Receivables and payables from (to) the Company include accruals for the variance between investments and reserves applicable to the Subaccount.

 

Contracts in the annuity period

Net assets allocated to Contracts in the annuity payout period are computed according to the Annuity 2000 Mortality Table with an assumed investment return of 5%. The mortality risk is fully borne by the Company and may result in additional amounts being transferred into the Separate Account by the Company to cover greater longevity of annuitants than expected. Conversely, if amounts allocated exceed amounts required, transfers may be made to the Company for the calculated or excess differential.

 

Dividend income and capital gain distributions

Dividend income and capital gain distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date and are reinvested in additional shares of the mutual funds. Ordinary dividend and capital gain distributions are recognized within net investment income and net realized gains, respectively, as recorded in the financial statements of the Subaccounts.

 

Net realized gains and losses

Net realized gains and losses on investments include gains and losses on redemptions of the Subaccounts’ shares (determined for each product using the first-in-first-out (FIFO) basis) and capital gain distributions from the mutual funds.

 

36

 

 

Net transfers (to) from the Company and/or Subaccounts

Net transfers (to) from the Company and/or Subaccounts include transfers between the Subaccounts of the Separate Account as well as transfers between the Separate Account and the Company.

 

Federal income taxes

The results of the operations of the Separate Account are included in the federal income tax return of the Company. Under the provisions of the Contracts, the Company has the right to charge the Separate Account for federal income tax attributable to the Separate Account. No charge has been made against the Separate 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.

 

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that could affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, as well as the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from the estimates reported in the accompanying financial statements.

 

Risks and uncertainties

The Separate Account provides for various investment options in any combination of Subaccounts, each of which bears exposure to the market, credit, and liquidity risks of the underlying portfolio in which it invests. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investments and the level of uncertainty related to changes in the value of investments, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in risks in the near term could materially affect investment balances, the amounts reported in the statements of assets and liabilities, of operations and of changes in net assets. Accordingly, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and footnotes of the underlying Subaccounts identified in Note 1.

6.FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

 

             The Company sells a number of variable annuity products that are funded by the Separate Account. These products have unique combinations of features and expenses that are charged against the Contract owner’s account. Differences in the expense structures result in a variety of unit values, expense ratios and total returns. The following tables were developed by determining which products offered by the Company and funded by the Separate Account have the highest and lowest expense ratios. The summaries may not reflect or directly equate to the minimum and maximum Contract expenses offered by the Company, as Contract owners may not have selected all available and applicable Contract options for or during the periods presented.

 

             A summary of the units outstanding, unit fair values, net assets for variable annuity Contracts, investment income ratios, the expense ratios, excluding expenses of the underlying Subaccounts, and total returns for each of the five years or periods ended December 31, 2023 is as follows:

(a) These ratios represent the dividends received by the Subaccount, excluding distributions of capital gains, divided by the average net assets. These ratios exclude expenses, such as mortality and expense charges, that result in direct reductions in the unit values. The recognition of investment income by the Subaccount is affected by the timing of the declaration of dividends by the underlying mutual fund in which the Subaccounts invest.

 

(b) These ratios represent the annualized Contract expenses of the respective Subaccounts of the Separate Account, consisting primarily of mortality and expense risk and administrative charges, for each period indicated. These ratios include only those expenses that result in a direct reduction to unit values. Charges made directly to Contract owner accounts through the redemption of units and expenses of the underlying mutual fund are excluded. 

 

(c) These amounts represent the total return for the periods indicated, are not annualized, include changes in the value of the underlying mutual fund, and reflect deductions for all items included in the expense ratio. The total return does not include any expenses addressed through the redemption of units; inclusion of these expenses in the calculation would result in a reduction in the total return presented.
