Variable Interest Entities
8. Variable Interest Entities
A VIE is a legal entity that does not have sufficient equity at risk to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial
support or is structured such that equity investors lack the ability to make significant decisions relating to the entity’s operations
through voting rights or do not substantively participate in the gains and losses of the entity. Consolidation of a VIE by its primary
beneficiary is not based on majority voting interest but is based on other criteria discussed below.
We enter into various arrangements with VIEs in the normal course of business and consolidate the VIEs when we determine we are
the primary beneficiary. This analysis includes a review of the VIE’s capital structure, related contractual relationships and terms,
nature of the VIE’s operations and purpose, nature of the VIE’s interests issued and our involvement with the entity. When assessing
the need to consolidate a VIE, we evaluate the design of the VIE as well as the related risks to which the entity was designed to
expose the variable interest holders.
The primary beneficiary is the entity that has both (i) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly affect the
entity’s economic performance and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could be potentially
significant to the VIE. While also considering these factors, the consolidation conclusion depends on the breadth of our decision-
making ability and our ability to influence activities that significantly affect the economic performance of the VIE.
BALANCE SHEET CLASSIFICATION AND EXPOSURE TO LOSS
Creditors or beneficial interest holders of VIEs for which the Company is the primary beneficiary generally have recourse
only to the assets and cash flows of the VIEs and do not have recourse to the Company. The following table presents the

We calculate our maximum exposure to loss to be (i) the amount invested in the debt or equity of the VIE, (ii) the notional amount of
VIE assets or liabilities where we have also provided credit protection to the VIE with the VIE as the referenced obligation and
(iii) other commitments and guarantees to the VIE.
The following table presents total assets of unconsolidated VIEs in which we hold a variable interest, as well as our
maximum exposure to loss associated with these VIEs:

Additionally, Corebridge is a passive investor in certain investment vehicles that securitized certain secured loans, bank loans and
residential mortgage loans. The notes held by Corebridge and their related fair values are included in the available-for-sale
disclosures that are reported in Notes 4 and 5. As of June 30, 2026, the total VIE assets of these securitizations are $2.4 billion, of
which Corebridge’s maximum exposure to loss including unfunded commitments is $2.5 billion. As of December 31, 2025, the total
VIE assets of these securitizations are $2.5 billion, of which Corebridge’s maximum exposure to loss is $2.5 billion.
