Investments, Debt and Equity Securities [Abstract]  
Investments Investments
Our investments in fixed maturity securities have generally been designated as available-for-sale (“AFS”) and are carried at fair value, net of allowance for expected credit losses, with unrealized gains and losses included within Accumulated other comprehensive loss ("AOCL"), net of deferred income taxes. We have elected the FVO for certain fixed maturity securities held by consolidated VIEs. See below for additional information on our investments in VIEs. Our preferred and equity securities investments are carried at fair value with unrealized gains and losses included in net earnings.
Our investments include assets backing reserves as part of coinsurance with funds withheld agreements. The funds withheld invested assets are reported within their respective line items. See Note L F&G Reinsurance, for more information on the funds withheld agreements.
The Company’s consolidated AFS investments as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 are summarized as follows:

Securities held on deposit with various state regulatory authorities had a fair value of $157 million and $155 million at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company held $38 million and $54 million, respectively, of investments that were non-income producing for a period greater than twelve months.
As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company's accrued interest receivable balance, excluding accrued interest receivable balances related to mortgage loans discussed below under "Mortgage Loans," was $584 million and $542 million, respectively. Accrued interest receivable is classified within Prepaid expenses and other assets within the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
In accordance with our FHLB agreements, the investments supporting the funding agreement liabilities are pledged as collateral to secure the FHLB funding agreement liabilities and are not available to us for general purposes. The collateral investments had a fair value of $5,439 million and $4,621 million as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
The amortized cost and fair value of fixed maturity securities AFS by contractual maturities as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 are shown below. Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities because issuers may have the right to call or prepay obligations.

Allowance for Expected Credit Loss
We regularly review AFS securities for declines in fair value that we determine to be credit related. For our fixed maturity securities, we generally consider the following in determining whether our unrealized losses are credit related, and if so, the magnitude of the credit loss:
•The extent to which the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis;
•The reasons for the decline in value (credit event, foreign currency or interest-rate related, including general credit spread widening);
•The financial condition of and near-term prospects of the issuer (including issuer's current credit rating and the probability of full recovery of principal based upon the issuer's financial strength);
•Current delinquencies and non-performing assets of underlying collateral;
•Expected future default rates;
•Collateral value by vintage, geographic region, industry concentration or property type;
•Subordination levels or other credit enhancements as of the balance sheet date as compared to origination; and
•Contractual and regulatory cash obligations and the issuer's plans to meet such obligations.
We recognize an allowance for expected credit losses on fixed maturity securities in an unrealized loss position when it is determined, using the factors discussed above, a component of the unrealized loss is related to credit. We measure the credit loss using a discounted cash flow model that utilizes the single best estimate cash flow and the recognized credit loss is limited to the total unrealized loss on the security (i.e., the fair value floor). Cash flows are discounted using the implicit yield of bonds at their time of purchase and the current book yield for asset and mortgage-backed securities as well as variable rate securities. We recognize the expected credit losses in Recognized gains and losses, net in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings, with an offset for the amount of non-credit impairments recognized in AOCL. We do not measure a credit loss allowance on accrued investment income because we write-off accrued interest through Interest and investment income when collectability concerns arise.
We consider the following in determining whether write-offs of a security’s amortized cost are necessary:
•We believe amounts related to securities have become uncollectible;
•We intend to sell a security; or
•It is more likely than not that we will be required to sell a security prior to recovery.
If we intend to sell a fixed maturity security or it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis and the fair value of the security is below amortized cost, we will write down the security to current fair value, with a corresponding charge, net of any amount previously recognized as an allowance for expected credit loss, to Recognized gains and losses, net in the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings. If we do not intend to sell a fixed maturity security or it is more likely than not that we will not be required to sell a fixed maturity security before recovery of its amortized cost basis but believe amounts related to a security are uncollectible, an impairment is deemed to have occurred and the amortized cost is written down to the estimated recovery value with a corresponding charge, net of any amount previously recognized as an allowance for expected credit loss, to Recognized gains and losses, net in the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings. The remainder of unrealized loss is held in AOCL. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, our allowance for expected credit losses for AFS securities was $78 million and $112 million, respectively.

The fair value and gross unrealized losses of AFS securities, excluding securities in an unrealized loss position with an allowance for expected credit loss, aggregated by investment category and duration of fair value below amortized cost as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 were as follows:

The unrealized losses as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 were caused by higher treasury rates compared to those at the time of the F&G acquisition or the purchase of the security if later. We believe the unrealized loss position for which we have not recorded an allowance for expected credit loss as of June 30, 2026 was primarily attributable to interest rate increases, near-term illiquidity, and other macroeconomic uncertainties as opposed to issuer specific credit concerns.
Mortgage Loans
Our mortgage loans are collateralized by commercial and residential properties.
Commercial Mortgage Loans
Commercial mortgage loans (“CMLs”) represented approximately 5% and 4% of our total investments reported on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. The mortgage loans in our investment portfolio are generally comprised of high quality commercial first lien and mezzanine real estate loans. Mortgage loans are primarily on income producing properties including industrial properties, retail buildings, multifamily properties, and office buildings. We diversify our CML portfolio by geographic region and property type to attempt to reduce concentration risk. We continuously evaluate CMLs based on relevant current information to ensure properties are performing at a consistent and acceptable level to secure the related debt. The distribution of CMLs, gross of valuation allowances, by property type and geographic region is reflected in the following tables:

Loan-to-value (“LTV”) and debt service coverage (“DSC”) ratios are measures commonly used to assess the risk and quality of mortgage loans. The LTV ratio is expressed as a percentage of the amount of the loan relative to the value of the underlying property. A LTV ratio in excess of 100% indicates the unpaid loan amount exceeds the underlying collateral. The DSC ratio, based upon the most recently received financial statements, is expressed as a percentage of the amount of a property’s net income to its debt service payments. A DSC ratio of less than 1.00 indicates that a property’s operations do not generate sufficient income to cover debt payments. We normalize our DSC ratios to a 25 year amortization period for purposes of our general loan allowance evaluation.
The following tables present the recorded investment in CMLs by LTV and DSC ratio categories and estimated fair value by the indicated LTV ratios, gross of valuation allowances at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025:

Residential Mortgage Loans
Residential mortgage loans (“RMLs”) represented approximately 8% and 6% of our total investments reported on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. Our RMLs are primarily closed end, amortizing loans and 100% of the properties are located in the United States. We diversify our RML portfolio by state to attempt to reduce concentration risk.

Immaterial interest income was recognized on non-accrual financing receivables for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025.
It is our policy to cease to accrue interest on loans that are delinquent for 90 days or more. For loans less than 90 days delinquent, interest is accrued unless it is determined that the accrued interest is not collectible. If a loan becomes 90 days or more delinquent, it is our general policy to initiate foreclosure proceedings unless a workout arrangement to bring the loan current is in place. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we had $138 million and $79 million, respectively, of mortgage loans that were over 90 days past due.
As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we had $129 million and $111 million, respectively, of residential mortgage loans that were in the process of foreclosure.

Allowance for Expected Credit Loss
We estimate expected credit losses for our commercial and residential mortgage loan portfolios using a probability of default/loss given default model. Significant inputs to this model include, where applicable, the loans' current performance, underlying collateral type, location, contractual life, LTV, DSC, and Debt to Income or FICO. The model projects losses using a two year reasonable and supportable forecast and then reverts over a three-year period to market-wide historical loss experience.

An allowance for expected credit loss is not measured on accrued interest income for CMLs as we have a process to write-off interest on loans that enter into non-accrual status (90 days or more past due). Allowances for expected credit losses are measured on accrued interest income for RMLs and were immaterial for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025.
As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the accrued interest receivable balance on CMLs totaled $13 million and $11 million, respectively, and the accrued interest receivable on RMLs totaled $52 million and $45 million, respectively. Accrued interest receivable is classified within Prepaid expenses and other assets within the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Variable Interest Entities
Our involvement with VIEs is primarily through investments in entities that provide exposure to a diversified portfolio of investment asset classes. A VIE is an entity that does not have sufficient equity to finance its own activities without additional financial support, where investors lack certain characteristics of a controlling financial interest, or where the entity is structured with non-substantive voting rights. VIEs are consolidated by their ‘primary beneficiary,’ a designation given to an entity that receives both the benefits from the VIE as well as the substantive power to make its key economic decisions. We perform ongoing qualitative assessments of our variable interests in VIEs to determine whether we have a controlling financial interest and are therefore the primary beneficiary of the VIE. We consolidate the assets and liabilities (if applicable) of VIEs for which we are determined to be the primary beneficiary in our consolidated financial statements.
Consolidated variable interest entities
We have concluded that we are the primary beneficiary for certain VIEs where we have both the power to direct the most significant activities of the VIE and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE.
Consolidated VIEs are structured investments that are managed by third parties. These structured investments are established as special purpose vehicles (“SPVs”) designed to hold specific assets, which include limited partnerships, fixed maturity securities, middle market loans, short-term investments, and cash and cash equivalents. The assets of each VIE can be used only to settle obligations of the VIE. Asset and liability information held by consolidated VIEs included on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets are as follows:

Cash and cash equivalents— 2 
Total assets$669 $628 
Total consolidated VIE investments$669 $628 
We are not required to provide financial support to these VIEs beyond our contractual obligations. Our maximum exposure to loss related to these consolidated VIEs is limited to our capital invested plus any unfunded capital commitments (refer to unfunded commitments in Note F Commitments and Contingencies). The maximum loss exposure of our consolidated VIEs as of June 30, 2026 was $895 million.
Unconsolidated VIEs
We own investments in VIEs that are not consolidated within our financial statements. While we participate in the benefits from these VIEs in which we invest, but do not consolidate, the substantive power to make the key economic decisions for each respective VIE resides with entities not under our common control. It is for this reason that we are not considered the primary beneficiary for the VIE investments that are not consolidated.
We invest in various limited partnerships and limited liability companies primarily as a passive investor. These investments are primarily in credit funds with a bias towards current income, real assets, or private equity. Limited partnership and limited liability company interests are accounted for under the equity method and are included in Investments in unconsolidated affiliates on our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. In addition, we invest in structured investments, which may be VIEs, but for which we are not the primary beneficiary. These structured investments typically invest in fixed income investments and are managed by third parties and include asset-backed securities, commercial mortgage-backed securities and residential mortgage-backed securities included in fixed maturity securities available for sale on our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Our maximum loss exposure with respect to these VIEs is limited to the investment carrying amounts reported in our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for limited partnerships and the amortized costs of certain of our fixed maturity securities, in addition to any required unfunded commitments (also refer to Note F Commitments and Contingencies).
The following table summarizes the carrying value and the maximum loss exposure of our unconsolidated VIEs as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025:
