Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
(Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated)
(3) Lapse rates tend to be lower during the contractual surrender charge period and higher after the surrender
charge period ends; the highest lapse rates occur in the year immediately after the end of the surrender
charge period. The Company makes dynamic adjustments to lower the lapse rates for contracts that are more
“in the money.” The table below shows an analysis of policy account values according to whether they are
in or out of the surrender charge period and to whether they are “in the money” or “out of the money” as of
December 31, 2013 (account value amounts are in $ billions).
