Bonds (Largest Asset Held by Insurer) and the Net Investment Income Earned
Exhibit of Net Investment Income shows the Net Investment income based on:
> Interest received during the year
- On a cash flow basis, so needs to be added to the change in interest due & accrued in order to calculate income
> Interest due & accrued
> Current year’s amortization/accretion
- When purchase price of bond is different to face value
- Ie when Coupon rate different to the market interest rate at time bond bought
- Amortized cost equal to the face value at maturity since prem or discount is amortized over the life of the bond
> Interest paid for accrued interest on dividends
- Required whenever an insurer purchases a bond between coupon payments
- A portion of the coupon was “earned” by seller so purchaser should reimburse this amount
Bonds (Largest Asset Held by Insurer) and the Capital Gains
Total gain shown in Exhibit of Capital Gain by:
> Realized gain on sale/maturity (Col 1)
> Other Realized Adjustments (Col 2)
- Foreign exchange gain on disposal
- Other than temporary impairments
Bond Capital Gains Calculation
- Find value of bond
- When bond is purchased, it is recorded at actual cost, which includes brokerage and other fees
- After purchase, it is valued at adjusted carrying value
Adjusted Carrying Value
> NAIC Class 1-2 (higher grade) = Amortized Cost (updated annually)
> NAIC Class 3-4 (lower grade) = Min(Amortized Cost, Fair Value)
Valuation Rules for Bonds
> If adjusted to the fair value, the adjustment is treated as an unrealized loss
> When sold, the realized gain is the difference between the amount received and the adjusted carrying value
> If a bond is valued at amortized cost (higher grade) because held till maturity, no capital gain/loss occurs over the life of the bond
> Foreign currency bonds are impacted by changes in the exchange rates. This impact is included in the adjusted carrying value, but is not realized until the bond is sold.
> “Other than temp Impairments” occur when an insurer won’t collect all the amounts due. Treat the amount of the impairment as a realized capital loss.
Schedules for Bonds

Schedule D, Part 2 - Long term bonds sold, redeemed, disposed of
