Commitments
Funding of Investments
The Company’s commitments to fund investments as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, are presented in the following table (dollars in millions):
March 31, 2026December 31, 2025
Limited partnerships and real estate joint ventures$2,247 $2,328 
Mortgage loans344 192 
Bank loans and private placements2,702 2,796

The Company anticipates that the majority of its current commitments will be invested over the next five years; however, these commitments could become due any time at the request of the counterparties. Bank loans and private placements are included in fixed maturity securities available-for-sale.
The Company has an immaterial liability, included in other liabilities, for current expected credit losses associated with unfunded commitments as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.
Funding Agreements
Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) of Des Moines
The Company is a member of the FHLB and, through membership, has issued funding agreements to the FHLB in exchange for cash advances. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had $1.3 billion of FHLB funding agreements outstanding. The Company is required to provide collateral in excess of the funding agreement amounts outstanding, considering any discounts to the securities posted and prepayment penalties.
Funding Agreement Backed Notes
The Company’s FABN program allows RGA Global Funding, a special-purpose, unaffiliated statutory trust, to offer its senior secured medium-term notes to investors. RGA Global Funding uses the net proceeds from each sale to purchase one or more funding agreements from the Company. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had $5.8 billion of FABN agreements outstanding, which are reflected in interest-sensitive contract liabilities.
Contingencies
Litigation
The Company is subject to litigation and regulatory investigations or actions from time to time. Based on current knowledge, management does not believe that loss contingencies arising from pending legal, regulatory and governmental matters will have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, results of operations or cash flows of the Company. However, in light of the inherent uncertainties involved in future or pending legal, regulatory and governmental matters, some of which are beyond the Company’s control, and indeterminate or potentially substantial amount of damages sought in any such matters, an adverse outcome could be material to the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows for any particular reporting period. A legal reserve is established when the Company is notified of an arbitration demand, litigation or regulatory action or is notified that an arbitration demand, litigation or regulatory action is imminent, it is probable that the Company will incur a loss as a result and the amount of the probable loss is reasonably capable of being estimated.
Guarantees
Statutory Reserve Support
Certain RGA subsidiaries have committed to provide statutory reserve support to third parties, in exchange for a fee, by funding loans if certain defined events occur. Such statutory reserves are required under the U.S. Valuation of Life Policies Model Regulation (commonly referred to as Regulation XXX for term life insurance policies and Regulation A-XXX for universal life secondary guarantees). In addition, certain subsidiaries have also committed to provide capital support to a third party, in exchange for a fee, by agreeing to assume real estate leases in the event of a severe and prolonged decline in the commercial lease market. Upon assumption of a lease, the Company would recognize a right of use asset and lease obligation. As of March 31, 2026, the Company does not believe that it will be required to provide any funding under these commitments as the occurrence of the defined events is considered remote. The following table presents the maximum potential obligation for these commitments as of March 31, 2026 (dollars in millions):

Support Agreements
RGA, Inc. and several of its subsidiaries are obligors to various capital maintenance agreements with its subsidiaries. Under these agreements, the obligor guarantees for specified periods of time (depending on jurisdiction) that the applicable subsidiary will meet specified capital and surplus levels. Given the amount of business that has been and is expected to be written by the applicable subsidiaries benefiting from these agreements, the Company anticipates that the obligors will have sufficient liquidity and capital to meet any obligations under these agreements.
