The increase in general account investments attributable to the Financial Services Businesses in 2006 was primarily due to portfolio
growth as a result of the reinvestment of net investment income and changes in foreign exchange rates, partially offset by the net decline in
market values attributable to higher interest rates. Also contributing to the increase was the addition of investments related to the
acquisition of the variable annuity business of The Allstate Corporation and the conversion of the modified coinsurance arrangement
associated with the CIGNA defined benefit guaranteed-cost contracts to an indemnity coinsurance arrangement. The increase in general
account investments attributable to the Closed Block Business in 2006 was primarily due to portfolio growth as a result of reinvestment of
net investment income, partially offset by the net decline in market values attributable to higher interest rates.
We have substantial insurance operations in Japan, with 30% of our Financial Services Businesses’ general account investments
relating to our Japanese insurance operations as of both December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005. The increase in our Japanese
insurance operations’ general account investments in 2006 is primarily attributable to portfolio growth as a result of increased annuity
sales, the reinvestment of net investment income and changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The following table sets forth the
composition of the investments of our Japanese insurance operations’ general account as of the dates indicated.
