Adoption of New Accounting StandardsNo subsequent events or transactions were identified.
Transfers and Servicing
In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) updated the accounting standards related to transfers and servicing. The update requires repurchase-to-maturity transactions and linked repurchase financings to be accounted for as secured borrowings consistent with the accounting for other repurchase agreements. The standard requires disclosures related to transfers of financial assets accounted for as sales in transactions that are similar to repurchase agreements. The standard also requires disclosures on the remaining contractual maturity of the agreements, disaggregation of the gross obligation by class of collateral pledged and potential risks associated with the agreements and the related collateral pledged in repurchase agreements, securities lending transactions, and repurchase-to-maturity transactions accounted for as secured borrowings. The standard is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014, except for the disclosure requirements for repurchase agreements, security lending transactions and repurchase-to-maturity transactions accounted for as secured borrowings which are effective for interim periods beginning after March 15, 2015. The standard requires entities to present changes in accounting for transactions outstanding at the effective date as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. The adoption of the standard did not have any effect on the Company’s consolidated financial condition and results of operations. See Note 9 and Note 11 for the required disclosures.
Receivables - Troubled Debt Restructuring by Creditors
In January 2014, the FASB updated the accounting standard related to recognizing residential real estate obtained through a repossession or foreclosure from a troubled debtor. The update clarifies the criteria for derecognition of the loan receivable and recognition of the real estate property. The standard is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014 and can be applied under a modified retrospective transition method or a prospective transition method. The adoption of the standard did not have any effect on the Company’s consolidated financial condition and results of operations.
Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures
In January 2014, the FASB updated the accounting standard related to investments in qualified affordable housing projects. The update allows for an accounting policy election to account for investments in qualified affordable housing projects using the proportional amortization method if certain conditions are met. Under the proportional amortization method, the investment in a qualified affordable housing project is amortized in proportion to the tax credits and other tax benefits received. The net investment performance is recognized as a component of income tax expense (benefit). The standard is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014 and should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented. The Company did not elect the proportional amortization method.

Future Adoption of New Accounting Standards
Fair Value Measurement –- Disclosures for Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent)
In May 2015, the FASBFinancial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) updated the accounting standards related to fair value measurement. The update applies to investments that are measured at net asset value (“NAV”). The standard eliminates the requirement to categorize within the fair value hierarchy all investments for which fair value is measured using the NAV per share as a practical expedient. In addition, the update limits disclosures about the nature and risks of the investments to investments for which the entity elected to measure the fair value using the practical expedient rather than all investments that are eligible investments.for the NAV practical expedient. The standard is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The Company adopted the standard should be applied retrospectivelyon January 1, 2016 on a retrospective basis to all periods presented and early adoption is permitted.presented. There will bewas no impact of the standard to the Company’s consolidated financial condition andor results of operations.
Consolidation
In February 2015, the FASB updated the accounting standard for consolidation. The update changes the accounting for the consolidation model for limited partnerships and a variable interest entityentities (“VIE”VIEs”) and excludes certain money market funds from the consolidation analysis. Specific to the consolidation analysis of a VIE, the update clarifies consideration of fees paid to a decision maker and amends the related party guidance. The standard is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The Company adopted the standard on January 1, 2016 using the modified retrospective approach. There was no impact of the standard to the Company’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations.
Future Adoption of New Accounting Standards
Statement of Cash Flows - Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments
In August 2016, the FASB updated the accounting standards related to classification of certain cash receipts and cash payments on the statement of cash flows. The update includes amendments to address diversity in practice for the classification of eight specific cash flow activities. The specific amendments the Company is evaluating include the classification of proceeds from insurance settlements and corporate owned life insurance settlements, distributions from equity method investees and the application of the predominance principle to separately identifiable cash flows. The standard is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15,
RIVERSOURCELIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (Continued)
2017. Early adoption is permitted including adoption in an interimand all amendments must be adopted during the same period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the standard, maybut does not expect adoption of the standard to have a material impact on its consolidated cash flows.
Financial Instruments - Measurement of Credit Losses
In June 2016, the FASB updated the accounting standards related to accounting for credit losses on certain types of financial instruments. The update replaces the current incurred loss model for estimating credit losses with a new model that requires an entity to estimate the credit losses expected over the life of the asset. Generally, the initial estimate of the expected credit losses and subsequent changes in the estimate will be reported in current period earnings and recorded through an allowance for credit losses on the balance sheet. The current credit loss model for Available-for-Sale debt securities does not change; however, the credit loss calculation and subsequent recoveries are required to be recorded through an allowance. The standard is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption will be permitted for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. A modified retrospective cumulative adjustment to retained earnings should be recorded as of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective for loans, receivables, and other financial instruments subject to the new expected credit loss model. Prospective adoption is required for establishing an allowance related to Available-for-Sale debt securities, certain beneficial interests, and financial assets purchased with a more-than-insignificant amount of credit deterioration since origination. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the standard on its consolidated financial condition and results of operations.
Leases - Recognition of Lease Assets and Liabilities on Balance Sheet
In February 2016, the FASB updated the accounting standards for leases. The update was issued to increase transparency and comparability for the accounting of lease transactions. The standard will require most lease transactions for lessees to be recorded on the balance sheet as lease assets and lease liabilities and both quantitative and qualitative disclosures about leasing arrangements. The standard is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018 with early adoption permitted. The update should be applied at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the standard on its consolidated financial condition and results of operations.
Financial Instruments - Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities
In January 2016, the FASB updated the accounting standards on the recognition and measurement of financial instruments. The update requires entities to carry marketable equity securities, excluding investments in securities that qualify for the equity method of accounting, at fair value with changes in fair value reflected in net income each reporting period. The update affects other aspects of accounting for equity instruments, as well as the accounting for financial liabilities utilizing the fair value option. The update eliminates the requirement to disclose the methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of financial assets or liabilities held at cost on the balance sheet and requires entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments. The standard is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted for certain provisions. Generally, the update should be applied using a modified retrospective approach by recording a cumulative-effect adjustment to equity at the beginning of the period of adoption or applied retrospectively. There will be noadoption. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the standard to the Company's consolidated financial condition and results of operations.
Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern
In August 2014, the FASB updated the accounting standard related to an entity’s assessment ofon its ability to continue as a going concern. The standard requires that management evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. In situations where there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosure should be made so that a reader can understand the conditions that raise substantial doubt, management’s assessment of those conditions and any plan management has to mitigate those conditions. The standard is effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter. Early adoption is permitted. There will be no impact of the standard to the Company’s consolidated financial condition and results of operations.
Revenue from Contracts with Customers
In May 2014, the FASB updated the accounting standards for revenue from contracts with customers. The update provides a five step revenue recognition model for all revenue arising from contracts with customers and affects all entities that enter into contracts to provide goods or services to their customers (unless the contracts are in the scope of other standards). The standard also updates the accounting for certain costs associated with obtaining and fulfilling a customer contract. In addition, the standardcontract and requires disclosure of quantitative and qualitative information that enables users of financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenuerevenues and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. In August 2015,Subsequent related updates provide clarification on certain revenue recognition guidance in the FASB updated the accounting standards to defer the effective date by one year.new standard.

The Company’s financing receivables include commercial and residential mortgage loans, syndicated loans and policy loans. Syndicated loans are reflected in other investments.
Allowance for Loan Losses
Policy loans do not exceed the cash surrender value of the policy at origination. As there is minimal risk of loss related to policy loans, the Company does not record an allowance for loan losses for policy loans. The Company does not currently have an allowance for loan losses for residential mortgage loans.

In the third quarter of the year, management conducts its annual review of insurance and annuity valuation assumptions relative to current experience and management expectations. To the extent that expectations change as a result of this review, management updates valuation assumptions. The impact of unlocking in the third quarter of 2016 primarily reflected continued low interest rates that more than offset benefits from persistency on annuity contracts without living benefits. In addition, the Company’s review of its closed LTC business resulted in loss recognition due to continued low interest rates, higher morbidity and higher reinsurance expenses, slightly offset by premium increases. The impact of unlocking in the third quarter of 2015 primarily reflected the difference between the Company’s previously assumed interest rates versus the continued low interest rate environment partially offset by improved persistency. The impact in the third quarter of 2014 primarily reflected the difference between the Company’s assumed interest rates partially offset by improved persistency and mortality experience and a benefit from updating the Company's variable annuity living benefit withdrawal utilization assumption.

8. Variable Annuity and Insurance Guarantees
The majority of the variable annuity contracts offered by the Company contain guaranteed minimum death benefit (“GMDB”) provisions. The Company also offers variable annuities with death benefit provisions that gross up the amount payable by a certain percentage of contract earnings, which are referred to as gain gross-up (“GGU”) benefits. In addition, the Company offers contracts with GMWB and GMAB provisions. The Company previously offered contracts containing guaranteed minimum income benefit (“GMIB”) provisions.
Certain UL policies offered by the Company provide secondary guarantee benefits. The secondary guarantee ensures that, subject to specified conditions, the policy will not terminate and will continue to provide a death benefit even if there is insufficient policy value to cover the monthly deductions and charges.

(1) | Individual variable annuity contracts may have more than one guarantee and therefore may be included in more than one benefit type. Variable annuity contracts for which the death benefit equals the account value are not shown in this table. |
The net amount at risk for GMDB, GGU and GMAB guarantees is defined as the current guaranteed benefit amount in excess of the current contract value. The net amount at risk for GMIB and GMWB guarantees is defined as the greater of the present value of the minimum guaranteed withdrawal payments less the current contract value or zero. The present value is calculated using a discount rate that is consistent with assumptions embedded in the Company’s annuity pricing models.

10. Fair Values of Assets and Liabilities
GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date; that is, an exit price. The exit price assumes the asset or liability is not exchanged subject to a forced liquidation or distressed sale.
RIVERSOURCELIFE INSURANCE COMPANY

Valuation Hierarchy
The Company categorizes its fair value measurements according to a three-level hierarchy. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs used by the Company’s valuation techniques. A level is assigned to each fair value measurement based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are defined as follows:
| |
| Level 1 | Unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date. |
| |
| Level 2 | Prices or valuations based on observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. |
| |
| Level 3 | Prices or valuations that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable. |

The increase to pretax income of the Company’s adjustment for nonperformance risk on the fair value of its embedded derivatives was $162$8 million and $59$162 million, net of DAC, DSIC, unearned revenue amortization and the reinsurance accrual for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, and 2014, respectively.
The increase to pretax income of the Company’s adjustment for nonperformance risk on the fair value of its embedded derivatives was $154$295 million and $68$154 million,, net of DAC, DSIC, unearned revenue amortization and the reinsurance accrual for the nine months ended September 30, 20152016 and 2014,2015, respectively.
Securities transferred from Level 3 primarily represent securities with fair values that are now obtained from a third partythird-party pricing service with observable inputs. Securities transferred to Level 3 represent securities with fair values that are now based on a single non-binding broker quote. The Company recognizes transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy as of the beginning of the quarter in which each transfer occurred. For assets and liabilities held at the end of the reporting periods that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, there were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2.

Sensitivity of Fair Value Measurements to Changes in Unobservable Inputs
Significant increases (decreases) in the yield/spread to U.S. Treasuries used in the fair value measurement of Level 3 corporate debt securities in isolation would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement.
Significant increases (decreases) in nonperformance risk used in the fair value measurement of the IUL embedded derivatives in isolation would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement.
Significant increases (decreases) in utilization and volatility used in the fair value measurement of the GMWB and GMAB embedded derivatives in isolation would result in a significantly higher (lower) liability value. Significant increases (decreases) in nonperformance risk and surrender rate and elective investment allocation model used in the fair value measurement of the GMWB and GMAB embedded derivatives in isolation would result in a significantly lower (higher) liability value. Utilization of guaranteed withdrawals and surrender rates vary with the type of rider, the duration of the policy, the age of the contractholder, the distribution systemchannel and whether the value of the guaranteed benefit exceeds the contract accumulation value.
Determination of Fair Value
The Company uses valuation techniques consistent with the market and income approaches to measure the fair value of its assets and liabilities. The Company’s market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities. The Company’s income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future projected cash flows to a single discounted present value amount. When applying either approach, the Company maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (Continued)
The following is a description of the valuation techniques used to measure fair value and the general classification of these instruments pursuant to the fair value hierarchy.
RIVERSOURCELIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (Continued)
Assets
Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents include highly liquid investments with original maturities of 90 days or less. Actively traded money market funds are measured at their NAV and classified as Level 1. The Company’s remaining cash equivalents are classified as Level 2 and measured at amortized cost, which is a reasonable estimate of fair value because of the short time between the purchase of the instrument and its expected realization.
Available-for-Sale Securities
When available, the fair value of securities is based on quoted prices in active markets. If quoted prices are not available, fair values are obtained from third partythird-party pricing services, non-binding broker quotes, or other model-based valuation techniques. Level 1 securities primarily include U.S. Treasuries. Level 2 securities primarily include corporate bonds, residential mortgage backed securities, commercial mortgage backed securities, state and municipal obligations, asset backed securities and U.S. agency and foreign government securities. The fair value of these Level 2 securities is based on a market approach with prices obtained from third partythird-party pricing services. Observable inputs used to value these securities can include, but are not limited to, reported trades, benchmark yields, issuer spreads and non-binding broker quotes. Level 3 securities primarily include certain corporate bonds, non-agency residential mortgage backed securities, commercial mortgage backed securities and asset backed securities. The fair value of corporate bonds, non-agency residential mortgage backed securities, commercial mortgage backed securities and certain asset backed securities classified as Level 3 is typically based on a single non-binding broker quote. The underlying inputs used for some of the non-binding broker quotes are not readily available to the Company. The Company’s privately placed corporate bonds are typically based on a single non-binding broker quote. In addition to the general pricing controls, the Company reviews the broker prices to ensure that the broker quotes are reasonable and, when available, compares prices of privately issued securities to public issues from the same issuer to ensure that the implicit illiquidity premium applied to the privately placed investment is reasonable considering investment characteristics, maturity, and average life of the investment.
In consideration of the above, management is responsible for the fair values recorded on the financial statements. Prices received from third partythird-party pricing services are subjected to exception reporting that identifies investments with significant daily price movements as well as no movements. The Company reviews the exception reporting and resolves the exceptions through reaffirmation of the price or recording an appropriate fair value estimate. The Company also performs subsequent transaction testing. The Company performs annual due diligence of third partythird-party pricing services. The Company’s due diligence procedures include assessing the vendor’s valuation qualifications, control environment, analysis of asset-class specific valuation methodologies, and understanding of sources of market observable assumptions and unobservable assumptions, if any, employed in the valuation methodology. The Company also considers the results of its exception reporting controls and any resulting price challenges that arise.
Separate Account Assets
The fair value of assets held by separate accounts is determined by the NAV of the funds in which those separate accounts are invested. The NAV is used as a practical expedient for fair value and represents the exit price for the separate account. Separate account assets are classified as Level 2 as they are tradedexcluded from classification in principal-to-principal markets with little publicly released pricing information.the fair value hierarchy.
Other Assets
Derivatives that are measured using quoted prices in active markets, such as derivatives that are exchange-traded, are classified as Level 1 measurements. The variation margin on futures contracts is also classified as Level 1. The fair value of derivatives that are traded in less active over-the-counter (“OTC”) markets is generally measured using pricing models with market observable inputs such as interest rates and equity index levels. These measurements are classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy and include swaps and the majority of options. The fair value of certain derivatives measured using pricing models which include significant unobservable inputs are classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy. Other derivative contracts consist of the Company'sCompany’s macro hedge program. See Note 12 for further information on the macro hedge program. The counterparties’ nonperformance risk associated with uncollateralized derivative assets was immaterial at September 30, 20152016 and December 31, 2014.2015. See Note 11 and Note 12 for further information on the credit risk of derivative instruments and related collateral.
Liabilities
Policyholder Account Balances, Future Policy Benefits and Claims
The Company values the embedded derivatives attributable to the provisions of certain variable annuity riders using internal valuation models. These models calculate fair value by discounting expected cash flows from benefits plus margins for profit,

risk and expenses less embedded derivative fees. The projected cash flows used by these models include observable capital market assumptions and incorporate significant unobservable inputs related to contractholder behavior assumptions, implied volatility, and margins for risk, profit and expenses that the Company believes an exit market participant would expect. The fair value also reflects a current estimate of the Company’s nonperformance risk specific to these embedded derivatives. Given the significant unobservable inputs to this valuation, these measurements are classified as Level 3. The embedded derivatives attributable to these provisions are recorded in policyholder account balances, future policy benefits and claims.
The Company uses various Black-Scholes calculations to determine the fair value of the embedded derivatives associated with the
RIVERSOURCELIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (Continued)
provisions of its EIA and IUL products. Significant inputs to the EIA calculation include observable interest rates, volatilities and equity index levels and, therefore, are classified as Level 2. The fair value of the IUL embedded derivatives includes significant observable interest rates, volatilities and equity index levels and the significant unobservable estimate of the Company’s nonperformance risk. Given the significance of the nonperformance risk assumption to the fair value, the IUL embedded derivatives are classified as Level 3. The embedded derivatives attributable to these provisions are recorded in policyholder account balances, future policy benefits and claims.
The Company’s Corporate Actuarial Department calculates the fair value of the embedded derivatives on a monthly basis. During this process, control checks are performed to validate the completeness of the data. Actuarial management approves various components of the valuation along with the final results. The change in the fair value of the embedded derivatives is reviewed monthly with senior management. The Level 3 inputs into the valuation are consistent with the pricing assumptions and updated as experience develops. Significant unobservable inputs that reflect policyholder behavior are reviewed quarterly along with other valuation assumptions.
Other Liabilities
Derivatives that are measured using quoted prices in active markets, such as derivatives that are exchange-traded, are classified as Level 1 measurements. The variation margin on futures contracts is also classified as Level 1. The fair value of derivatives that are traded in less active OTC markets is generally measured using pricing models with market observable inputs such as interest rates and equity index levels. These measurements are classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy and include swaps and the majority of options. Other derivative contracts consist of the Company’s macro hedge program. See Note 12 for further information on the macro hedge program. The Company’s nonperformance risk associated with uncollateralized derivative liabilities was immaterial at September 30, 20152016 and December 31, 2014.2015. See Note 11 and Note 12 for further information on the credit risk of derivative instruments and related collateral.
During the reporting periods, there were no material assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.

Mortgage Loans, Net
The fair value of commercial mortgage loans, except those with significant credit deterioration, is determined by discounting contractual cash flows using discount rates that reflect current pricing for loans with similar remaining maturities, liquidity and characteristics including LTV ratio, occupancy rate, refinance risk, debt service coverage, location, and property condition. For commercial mortgage loans with significant credit deterioration, fair value is determined using the same adjustments as above with an additional adjustment for the Company’s estimate of the amount recoverable on the loan.
The fair value of residential mortgage loans is determined by discounting estimated cash flows and incorporating adjustments for prepayment, administration expenses, loss severity and credit loss estimates, with discount rates based on the Company’s estimate of current market conditions.
Given the significant unobservable inputs to the valuation of mortgage loans, these measurements are classified as Level 3.
Policy Loans
Policy loans represent loans made against the cash surrender value of the underlying life insurance or annuity product. These loans and the related interest are usually realized at death of the policyholder or contractholder or at surrender of the contract and are not transferable without the underlying insurance or annuity contract. The fair value of policy loans is determined by estimating expected cash flows discounted at rates based on the U.S. Treasury curve. Policy loans are classified as Level 3 as the discount rate used may be adjusted for the underlying performance of individual policies.
Other Investments
Other investments primarily consist of syndicated loans and an investment in FHLB. The fair value of syndicated loans is obtained from a third partythird-party pricing service or non-binding broker quotes. Syndicated loans that are priced using a market approach with observable inputs are classified as Level 2 and syndicated loans priced using a single non-binding broker quote are classified as Level 3. The fair value of the investment in FHLB is approximated by the carrying value and classified as Level 3 due to restrictions on transfer and lack of liquidity in the primary market for this asset.
Policyholder Account Balances, Future Policy Benefits and Claims
The fair value of fixed annuities in deferral status is determined by discounting cash flows using a risk neutral discount rate with adjustments for profit margin, expense margin, early policy surrender behavior, a margin for adverse deviation from estimated early policy surrender behavior and the Company’s nonperformance risk specific to these liabilities. The fair value of non-life contingent fixed annuities in payout status, EIA host contracts and the fixed portion of a small number of variable annuity contracts classified as investment contracts is determined in a similar manner. Given the use of significant unobservable inputs to these valuations, the measurements are classified as Level 3.
Short-term Borrowings
The fair value of short-term borrowings is obtained from a third partythird-party pricing service. A nonperformance adjustment is not included as collateral requirements for these borrowings minimize the nonperformance risk. The fair value of short-term borrowings is classified as Level 2.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (Continued)
Other Liabilities
Other liabilities consist of future funding commitments to affordable housing partnerships and other real estate partnerships. The fair value of these future funding commitments is determined by discounting cash flows. The fair value of these commitments includes an adjustment for the Company’s nonperformance risk and is classified as Level 3 due to the use of the significant unobservable input.
Separate Account Liabilities
Certain separate account liabilities are classified as investment contracts and are carried at an amount equal to the related separate account assets. The NAV of the related separate account assets is used as a practical expedient for fair value and represents the exit price for the separate account liabilities. Separate account liabilities are classified as Level 2 as they are tradedexcluded from classification in principal-to-principal markets with little publicly released pricing information. A nonperformance adjustment is not included as the related separate account assets act as collateral for these liabilitiesfair value hierarchy.

11. | Offsetting Assets and Liabilities |
Certain financial instruments and derivative instruments are eligible for offset in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company’s derivative instruments and repurchase agreements are subject to master netting arrangements and collateral arrangements and qualify for offset. A master netting arrangement with a counterparty creates a right of offset for amounts due to and from that same counterparty that is enforceable in the event of a default or bankruptcy. The Company’s policy is to recognize amounts subject to master netting arrangements on a gross basis in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The following tables present the gross and net information about the Company’s assets subject to master netting arrangements:

(1) | Represents the amount of liabilities that could be offset by assets with the same counterparty under master netting or similar arrangements that management elects not to offset on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. |
In the tables above, the amounts of assets or liabilities presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheets are offset first by financial instruments that have the right of offset under master netting or similar arrangements, then any remaining amount is reduced by the amount of cash and securities collateral. The actual collateral may be greater than amounts presented in the tables.
When the fair value of collateral accepted by the Company is less than the amount due to the Company, there is a risk of loss if the counterparty fails to perform or provide additional collateral. To mitigate this risk, the Company monitors collateral values regularly and requires additional collateral when necessary. When the value of collateral pledged by the Company declines, itthe Company may be required to post additional collateral.
The Company’s freestanding derivative instruments are reflected in other assets and other liabilities. Repurchase agreements are reflected in short-term borrowings. See Note 12 for additional disclosures related to the Company’s derivative instruments and Note 9 for additional disclosures related to the Company’s repurchase agreements.

12. Derivatives and Hedging Activities
Derivative instruments enable the Company to manage its exposure to various market risks. The value of such instruments is derived from an underlying variable or multiple variables, including equity and interest rate indices or prices. The Company primarily enters into derivative agreements for risk management purposes related to the Company’s products and operations.
The Company’s freestanding derivatives are recorded at fair value and are reflected in other assets or other liabilities. The Company’s freestanding derivative instruments are all subject to master netting arrangements. The Company’s policy on the recognition of derivatives on the Consolidated Balance Sheets is to not offset fair value amounts recognized for derivatives and collateral arrangements executed with the same counterparty under the same master netting arrangement. See Note 11 for additional information regarding the estimated fair value of the Company’s freestanding derivatives after considering the effect of master netting arrangements and collateral.

The(1) | The fair values of GMWB and GMAB embedded derivatives fluctuate based on changes in equity, interest rate and credit markets. |
The Company holds derivative instruments that either do not qualify or are not designated for hedge accounting treatment. These derivative instruments are used as economic hedges of equity, interest rate, credit and foreign currency exchange rate risk related to various products and transactions of the Company.
Certain annuity contracts contain GMWB or GMAB provisions, which guarantee the right to make limited partial withdrawals each contract year regardless of the volatility inherent in the underlying investments or guarantee a minimum accumulation value of consideration received at the beginning of the contract period, after a specified holding period, respectively. The GMAB and non-life contingent GMWB provisions are considered embedded derivatives, which are bifurcated from their host contracts for valuation purposes and reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value with changes in fair value reported in earnings. The Company economically hedges the exposure related to GMAB and non-life contingent GMWB and GMAB provisions primarily using various futures, options, interest rate swaptions, interest rate swaps, total return swaps and variance swaps. At September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the gross notional amount of derivative contracts for the Company’s GMWB and GMAB provisions was $134.1 billion and $132.0 billion, respectively.
The deferred premium associated with certain of the above options is paid or received semi-annually over the life of the option contract or at maturity. The following is a summary of the payments the Company is scheduled to make and receive for these options:

The Company has a macro hedge program to provide protection against the statutory tail scenario risk arising from variable annuity reserves on its statutory surplus and to cover some of the residual risks not covered by other hedging activities. As a means of economically hedging these risks, the Company uses a combination offutures, options interest rate swaptions and/or swaps.and swaptions. Certain of the macro hedge derivatives used contain settlement provisions linked to both equity returns and interest rates; the remaining are interest rate contracts or equity contracts.

EIA and IUL products have returns tied to the performance of equity markets. As a result of fluctuations in equity markets, the obligation incurred by the Company related to EIA and IUL products will positively or negatively impact earnings over the life of these products. As a means of economically hedging its obligations under the provisions of these products, the Company enters into index options and futures contracts. The gross notional amount of these derivative contracts was $1.3 billion and $953 million at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.
Embedded Derivatives
Certain annuities contain GMAB and non-life contingent GMWB provisions, which are considered embedded derivatives. In addition, the equity component of the EIA and IUL product obligations are also considered embedded derivatives. These embedded derivatives, which are bifurcated from their host contracts for valuation purposes and reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value with changes in fair value reported in earnings.

Cash Flow Hedges
The Company has amounts classified in AOCI related to gains and losses associated withDuring the effective portion of previously designated cash flow hedges. The Company reclassifies these amounts into income as the forecasted transactions impact earnings. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015,2016, the Company held no derivatives that were designated as cash flow hedges.
AtSeptember 30, 20152016, the Company expects to reclassify $6$5 million of deferred loss on derivative instruments from AOCI to earnings during the next 12 months that will be recorded in net investment income. These were originally losses on derivative instruments related to interest rate swaptions. During the nine months ended September 30, 20152016 and 2014,2015, no hedge relationships were discontinued due to forecasted transactions no longer being expected to occur according to the original hedge strategy. For the nine months ended September 30, 20152016 and 2014,2015, amounts recognized in earnings on derivative transactions that were ineffective were not material.

Credit Risk
Credit risk associated with the Company’s derivatives is the risk that a derivative counterparty will not perform in accordance with the terms of the applicable derivative contract. To mitigate such risk, the Company has established guidelines and oversight of credit risk through a comprehensive enterprise risk management program that includes members of senior management.

Certain of the Company’s derivative contracts contain provisions that adjust the level of collateral the Company is required to post based on the Company’s financial strength rating (or based on the debt rating of the Company’s parent, Ameriprise Financial). Additionally, certain of the Company’s derivative contracts contain provisions that allow the counterparty to

terminate the contract if the Company does not maintain a specific financial strength rating or Ameriprise Financial’s debt does not maintain a specific credit rating (generally an investment grade rating). If these termination provisions were to be triggered, the Company’s counterparty could require immediate settlement of any net liability position. At September 30, 20152016 and December 31, 2014,2015, the aggregate fair value of derivative contracts in a net liability position containing such credit contingent provisions was $269$152 million and $367$243 million, respectively. The aggregate fair value of assets posted as collateral for such instruments as of September 30, 20152016 and December 31, 20142015 was $254$140 million and $367$243 million, respectively. If the credit contingent provisions of derivative contracts in a net liability position at September 30, 20152016 and December 31, 20142015 were triggered, the aggregate fair value of additional assets that would be required to be posted as collateral or needed to settle the instruments immediately would have been $15$12 million and nil, respectively.

The Company’s effective tax rate was 17.2%5.8% and 14.0%17.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, and 2014, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2016 is exceptionally high due to a pretax loss. The decrease in the effective taxrate for the nine months ended September 30, 2016compared to the prior yearperiod is primarily due to lower pretax income. The effective tax rates are lower than the statutory rate as a result of tax preferred items including the dividends received deduction and low income housing tax credits. The increase in the effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the prior year period was primarily the result of an $18 million benefit in the first quarter of 2014 related to the completion of an Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) audit.
Included in the Company’s deferred income tax assets are tax benefits related to state net operating losses of $7 million which will expire beginning December 31, 2015.2016.

Under current U.S. federal income tax law, capital losses generally must be used against capital gain income within five years of the year in which the capital losses are recognized for tax purposes.

Based on analysis of the Company’s tax position, management believes it is more likely than not that the results of future operations and implementation oftaxplanning strategies will not allow the Company to realize certain state deferred tax assets and state net operating losses.

Guarantees
The Company is required by law to be a member of the guaranty fund association in every state where it is licensed to do business. In the event of insolvency of one or more unaffiliated insurance companies, the Company could be adversely affected by the requirement to pay assessments to the guaranty fund associations.
The Company projects its cost of future guaranty fund assessments based on estimates of insurance company insolvencies provided by the National Organization of Life and Health Insurance Guaranty Associations (“NOLHGA”) and the amount of its premiums written relative to the industry-wide premium in each state. The Company accrues the estimated cost of future guaranty fund assessments when it is considered probable that an assessment will be imposed, the event obligating the Company to pay the assessment has occurred and the amount of the assessment can be reasonably estimated.
The Company has a liability for estimated guaranty fund assessments and a related premium tax asset. At both September 30, 20152016 and December 31, 2014,2015, the estimated liability was $14$13 million and the related premium tax asset was $12 million. The expected period over which guaranty fund assessments will be made and the related tax credits recovered is not known.
Contingencies
Insurance companies have been the subject of increasing regulatory, legislative and judicial scrutiny. Numerous state and federal regulatory agencies have commenced examinations and other inquiries of insurance companies regarding sales and marketing practices (including sales to older consumers and disclosure practices), claims handling, and unclaimed property and escheatment practices and procedures. With regard to an industry-wide investigation of unclaimed property and escheatment practices and procedures, the Company is responding to regulatory audits, market conduct examinations and other inquiries (including a multistate insurance department examination and a market conduct examination by the State of Minnesota). The Company has cooperated and will continue to cooperate with the applicable regulators.
The Company is involved in the normal course of business in a number of other legal and arbitration proceedings concerning matters arising in connection with the conduct of its business activities. The Company believes that it is not a party to, nor are any of its properties the subject of, any pending legal, arbitration or regulatory investigation, examination or proceeding that is likely to have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is possible that the outcome of any current or future legal, arbitration or regulatory proceeding could have a material impact on results of operations in any particular reporting period as the proceedings are resolved.
Uncertain economic conditions, heightened and sustained volatility in the financial markets and significant financial reform legislation may increase the likelihood that clients and other persons or regulators may present or threaten legal claims or that regulators increase the scope or frequency of examinations of the Company or the insurance industry generally.

OverviewOverall
In the third quarter of the year, management conductsupdated its market-related inputs and implemented model changes related to the living benefit valuation. In addition, management conducted its annual review of insurance and annuity valuation assumptions relative to current experience and management expectations. To the extent that expectations changeincluding modeling changes. These aforementioned changes are collectively referred to as a result of this review, management updates valuation assumptions and the impact is reflected as part of its annual review ofunlocking. The unlocking process also impacts premium deficiency testing for certain insurance and annuity valuation assumptions and modeling changes (“unlocking”).products. The favorableunfavorable unlocking impact in the third quarter of 20152016 primarily reflected continued low interest rates and higher persistency on living benefit contracts that more than offset benefits from persistency on annuity contracts without living benefits, an update to market-related inputs related to the living benefit valuation and other model updates. The long-term interest rate assumption remains unchanged, but management extended the period it would take for rates to reach the long term level from 3.5 years to 5.5 years. In addition, the review of the Company’s closed long term care (“LTC”) business in the third quarter of 2016 resulted in a loss recognition of $31 million due to continued low interest rates, higher morbidity and higher reinsurance expenses, slightly offset by premium increases. The $31 million is comprised of $58 million of amortization of DAC and the release of the related deferred reinsurance liability of $27 million. The favorable unlocking impact ofin the prior year period primarily reflected improved policyholder behavior, an update to market-related inputs related to the living benefit valuation and model changes that more than offset the difference between the Company's previously assumed interest rates versus the continued low interest rate environment. In addition, the annualThe review of the Company's closed long term care (“LTC”)Company’s LTC business in the third quarter of 2015 resulted in no loss recognition as better-than-expected premium increases, which were reflected in projections, offset higher morbidity and lower interest rates. The unfavorable unlocking impact in the prior year period primarily reflected assumed interest rates partially offset by a benefit from updating the Company's variable annuity living benefit withdrawal utilization assumption.

The impact on DACCompany’s variable annuity account balances increased 4% to $75.9 billion at September 30, 2016 compared to the prior year period due to equity market appreciation partially offset by net outflows of $1.7 billion.
The Company’s fixed annuity account balances declined 7% to $10.2 billion at September 30, 2016 compared to the prior year period as older policies continue to lapse and DSIC from actual versus expected market performance based onnew sales are limited due to low interest rates.

The Company’s variable annuity account balancesNet investment income decreased 4% to $72.8 billion at September 30, 2015 compared to the prior year period due to net outflows of $1.4 billion, partially offset by market appreciation.
The Company’s fixed annuity account balances declined 12% to $10.9 billion at September 30, 2015 compared to the prior year period reflecting limited new sales from low interest rates and higher lapse rates related to the re-pricing of the five-year guarantee block during 2014, a portion of which came out of its surrender charge period during the first nine months of 2015. The change in crediting rates decreased the level of spread compression in both periods.
During the first quarter of 2015, the Company conducted a review of its LTC reserve for unpaid amounts on reported claims based on additional information it received from Genworth Financial, Inc., which reinsures 50% of the Company’s LTC business and administers all of its claims. Based on this information, along with a review of the discount rate, management’s best estimate for LTC claims reserves resulted in a net $32 million increase during the first quarter of 2015. The most significant drivers of the reserve increase were updates to the benefit utilization rates and claims termination rates, partially offset by a $15 million benefit from a higher discount rate. During the second quarter of 2015, the Company completed its review which resulted in a favorable reserve release. Based on the analysis, the Company concluded that the actual claims utilization and termination experience was more favorable than the initial assumptions provided by the reinsurer, and as a result, released $18 million of the net $32 million reserve. The Company also increased the discount rate for its disability income (“DI”) reserve for unpaid amounts on reported claims, which resulted in a $7 million reserve decrease during the first quarter of 2015. The current discount rates are based on the average interest rates earned on assets supporting the liability and were 6.25% and 5.0% for LTC and DI, respectively, at September 30, 2015.

Premiums decreased $19$54 million or 6% to $300$850 million for the nine months ended September 30, 20152016 compared to $319 million for the prior year period primarily reflecting the impacts from a life reinsurance premium correction and model change as well as a slight decrease in premiums across product lines.

The impact of unlocking in the third quarter of 2016 primarily reflected the continued low interest rates that more than offset benefits from persistency on annuity contracts without living benefits. The long-term interest rate assumption remains unchanged, but management extended the period it would take for rates to reach the long term level from 3.5 years to 5.5 years. In addition, in connection with the loss recognition on LTC insurance products in the third quarter of 2016, the Company wrote-off $58 million of DAC due to continued low interest rates, higher morbidity and higher reinsurance expenses, slightly offset by premium increases.

Income Taxes
The Company’s effective tax rate was 17.2%5.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2015,2016 compared to 14.0%17.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.2015. The effective tax rates are lower than the statutory rate as a result of tax preferred items including the dividends received deduction and low income housing tax credits. The increasedecrease in the effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 20152016 compared to the prior year period was the result of an $18 million benefit in the first quarter of 2014 relatedprimarily due to the completion of an Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) audit.lower pretax income.
Market Risk
The Company’s primary market risk exposures are interest rate, equity price and credit risk. Equity price and interest rate fluctuations can have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations, primarily due to the effects on asset-based fees and expenses, the “spread” income generated on its fixed annuities, fixed insurance and fixed portion of its variable annuities and variable insurance contracts, the value of DAC and DSIC assets, the value of liabilities for guaranteed benefits associated with its variable annuities and the value of derivatives held to hedge these benefits.
The Company’s earnings from fixed annuities, fixed insurance, and the fixed portion of variable annuities and variable insurance contracts are based upon the spread between rates earned on assets held and the rates at which interest is credited to accounts. The Company primarily invests in fixed rate securities to fund the rate credited to clients. The Company guarantees an interest rate to the holders of these products. Investment assets and client liabilities generally differ as it relates to basis, repricing or maturity characteristics. Rates credited to clients’ accounts generally reset at shorter intervals than the yield on the underlying investments. Therefore, in an increasing interest rate environment, higher interest rates may be reflected in crediting rates to clients sooner than in rates earned on invested assets, which could result in a reduced spread between the two rates, reduced earned income and a negative impact on pretax income. However, the current low interest rate environment is resulting in interest rates below the level of some of the Company’s liability guaranteed minimum interest rates (“GMIRs”). Hence, a modest rise in interest rates would not necessarily result in changes to all the liability credited rates while projected asset purchases would capture the full increase in interest rates. This dynamic would result in widening spreads under a modestly rising rate scenario given the current relationship between the current level of interest rates and the underlying GMIRs on the business.
RIVERSOURCE LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
As a result of the low interest rate environment, the Company’s current reinvestment yields are generally lower than the current portfolio yield. The Company expects its portfolio income yields to continue to decline in future periods if interest rates remain low. The carrying value and weighted average yield of non-structured fixed maturity securities and commercial mortgage loans that may generate proceeds to reinvest through JuneSeptember 30, 20172018 due to prepayment, maturity or call activity at the option of the issuer, excluding securities with a make-whole provision, was $2.1$2.8 billion and 4.7%5.1%, respectively, as of September 30, 2015.2016. In addition, residential mortgage-backed securities, which are subject to prepayment risk as a result of the low interest rate environment, totaled $3.2$3.5 billion and had a weighted average yield of 3.7%3.5% as of September 30, 2015.2016. While these amounts represent investments that could be subject to reinvestment risk, it is also possible that these investments will be used to fund liabilities or may not be prepaid and will remain invested at their current yields. In addition to the interest rate environment, the mix of benefit payments versus product sales as well as the timing and volumes associated with such mix may impact the Company’s investment yield. Furthermore, reinvestment activities and the associated investment yield may also be impacted by corporate strategies implemented at management’s discretion. The average yield for investment purchases during the nine months ended September 30, 20152016 was approximately 3.7%3.3%.
The reinvestment of proceeds from maturities, calls and prepayments at rates below the current portfolio yield, which may be below the level of some liability guaranteed minimum interest rates,GMIRs, will have a negative impact to future operating results. To mitigate the unfavorable impact that the low interest rate environment has on the Company’s spread income, it assesses reinvestment risk in its investment portfolio and monitors this risk in accordance with its asset/liability management framework. In addition, the Company may reduce the crediting rates on its fixed products when warranted, subject to guaranteed minimums. In 2014, the Company completed the process of setting lower renewal interest rates for a portion of its fixed annuities that were above the guaranteed minimum interest rates, which helped relieve some of the spread compression caused by low rates.

In addition to the fixed rate exposures noted above, the Company also has the following variable annuity guarantee benefits: guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefits (“GMWB”), guaranteed minimum accumulation benefits (“GMAB”), guaranteed minimum death benefits (“GMDB”) and guaranteed minimum income benefits (“GMIB”). Each of these guaranteed benefits guarantees payouts to the annuity holder under certain specific conditions regardless of the performance of the underlying invested assets.
The variable annuity guarantees continue to be managed by utilizing a hedging program which attempts to match the sensitivity of the assets with the sensitivity of the liabilities. This approach works with the premise that matched sensitivities will produce a highly effective hedging result. The Company’s comprehensive hedging program focuses mainly on first order sensitivities of assets and liabilities: Equity Market Level (Delta), Interest Rate Level (Rho) and Volatility (Vega). Additionally, various second order sensitivities are managed. The Company uses various index options across the term structure, interest rate swaps and swaptions, total return swaps and futures to manage the risk exposures. The exposures are measured and monitored daily and adjustments to the hedge portfolio are made as necessary.
The Company has a macro hedge program to provide protection against the statutory tail scenario risk arising from variable annuity reserves on its statutory surplus and to cover some of the residual risks not covered by other hedging activities. The Company assesses this residual risk under a range of scenarios in creating and executing the macro hedge program. As a means of economically hedging these risks, the Company uses a combination offutures, options and/or swaps.and swaptions. Certain of the macro hedge derivatives used contain settlement provisions linked to both equity returns and interest rates; the remaining are interest rate contracts or equity contracts. The macro hedge program could result in additional earnings volatility as changes in the value of the macro hedge derivatives, which are designed to reduce statutory capital volatility, may not be closely aligned to changes in the variable annuity guarantee embedded derivatives.
To evaluate interest rate and equity price risk, the Company performs sensitivity testing which measures the impact on pretax income from the sources listed below for a 12-month period following a hypothetical 100 basis point increase in interest rates or a hypothetical 10% decline in equity prices. The interest rate risk test assumes a sudden 100 basis point parallel shift in the yield curve, with rates then staying at those levels for the next 12 months. The equity price risk test assumes a sudden 10% drop in equity prices, with equity prices then staying at those levels for the next 12 months. In estimating the values of variable annuity riders, equity indexed annuities, indexed universal life insurance and the associated hedge assets, the Company assumed no change in implied market volatility despite the 10% drop in equity prices.

(1) | Market impact on DAC and DSIC amortization resulting from lower projected profits. |

(2) | In estimating the impact on DAC and DSIC amortization resulting from lower projected profits, the Company has not changed its assumed equity asset growth rates. This is a significantly more conservative estimate than if the Company assumed management follows its mean reversion guideline and increased near-term rates to recover the drop in equity values over a five-year period. The Company makes this same conservative assumption in estimating the impact from GMDB and GMIB riders.riders and the life contingent benefits associated with GMWB. |
(3) In the second quarter of 2016, the Company reclassified the estimated impact from certain reserves for life contingent benefits associated with GMWB provisions from the GMDB and GMIB line to the GMWB line. The estimated impact from these reserves as of December 31, 2015 was $(123) million.

| The market impact of the macro hedge program is modeled net of any related impact to DAC and DSIC amortization. |
The above results compare to an estimated negative net impact to pretax income of $284$285 million related to a 10% equity price decline and an estimated positive net impact to pretax income of nil$33 million related to a 100 basis point increase in interest rates as of December 31, 20142015. The change in interest rate exposure since December 31, 2014 is primarily the result of adding new interest rate derivatives to the macro hedge program during 2015 and subsequent changes in market rates.
Net impacts shown in the above table from GMWB and GMAB riders result largely from differences between the liability valuation basis and the hedging basis. Liabilities are valued using fair value accounting principles, with risk margins incorporated in contractholder behavior assumptions and with discount rates increased to reflect a current market estimate of the Company’s risk of nonperformance specific to these liabilities. The nonperformance spread risk is not hedged.
Actual results could differ materially from those illustrated above as they are based on a number of estimates and assumptions. These
RIVERSOURCE LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
include assuming that implied market volatility does not change when equity prices fall by 10%, that management does not increase assumed equity asset growth rates to anticipate recovery of the drop in equity values when valuing DAC, DSIC
RIVERSOURCE LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
and GMDB and GMIB liability values and that the 100 basis point increase in interest rates is a parallel shift of the yield curve. Furthermore, the Company has not tried to anticipate changes in client preferences for different types of assets or other changes in client behavior, nor has the Company tried to anticipate actions management might take to increase revenues or reduce expenses in these scenarios.
The selection of a 100 basis point interest rate increase as well as a 10% equity price decline should not be construed as a prediction of future market events. Impacts of larger or smaller changes in interest rates or equity prices may not be proportional to those shown for a 100 basis point increase in interest rates or a 10% decline in equity prices.
Fair Value Measurements
The Company reports certain assets and liabilities at fair value; specifically, separate account assets, derivatives, embedded derivatives, most investments and cash equivalents. Fair value assumes the exchange of assets or liabilities occurs in orderly transactions and is not the result of a forced liquidation or distressed sale. The Company includes actual market prices, or observable inputs, in its fair value measurements to the extent available. Broker quotes are obtained when quotes from pricing services are not available. The Company validates prices obtained from third parties through a variety of means such as: price variance analysis, subsequent sales testing, stale price review, price comparison across pricing vendors and due diligence reviews of vendors. See Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on the Company’s fair value measurements.
Fair Value of Liabilities and Nonperformance Risk
Companies are required to measure the fair value of liabilities at the price that would be received to transfer the liability to a market participant (an exit price). Since there is not a market for the Company’s obligations of its variable annuity riders and indexed universal life insurance, the Company considers the assumptions participants in a hypothetical market would make to reflect an exit price. As a result, the Company adjusts the valuation of variable annuity riders and indexed universal life insurance by updating certain contractholder assumptions, adding explicit margins to provide for profit, risk and expenses, and adjusting the rates used to discount expected cash flows to reflect a current market estimate of the Company’s nonperformance risk. The nonperformance risk adjustment is based on observable market data adjusted to estimate the risk of the Company not fulfilling these liabilities. Consistent with general market conditions, this estimate resulted in a spread over the LIBOR swap curve as of September 30, 2015.2016. As the Company’s estimate of this spread widens or tightens, the liability will decrease or increase. If this nonperformance credit spread moves to a zero spread over the LIBOR swap curve, the reduction to net income would be approximately $264$421 million, net of DAC, DSIC, unearned revenue amortization, the reinsurance accrual and income taxes (calculated at the statutory tax rate of 35%), based on September 30, 20152016 credit spreads.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity Strategy
The liquidity requirements of the Company are generally met by funds provided by investment income, maturities and periodic repayments of investments, premiums and proceeds from sales of investments, fixed annuity and fixed insurance deposits as well as capital contributions from its parent, Ameriprise Financial.Financial, Inc. (“Ameriprise Financial”). Other liquidity sources the Company has established are short-term borrowings and available lines of credit with Ameriprise Financial aggregating $1 billion.$887 million.
The Company enters into short-term borrowings, which may include repurchase agreements and Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) advances to reduce reinvestment risk from higher levels of expected annuity net cash flows.risk. Short-term borrowings allow the Company to receive cash to reinvest in longer-duration assets, while paying back the short-term debt with cash flows generated by the fixed income portfolio. The balance of repurchase agreements at both September 30, 20152016 and December 31, 20142015 was $50 million which is collateralized with agency residential mortgage backed securities and commercial mortgage backed securities from the Company’s investment portfolio. RiverSource Life Insurance Company is a member of the FHLB of Des Moines, which provides RiverSource Life Insurance Company access to collateralized borrowings. At both September 30, 20152016 and December 31, 2014,2015, the Company had borrowings of $150 million from the FHLB which is collateralized with commercial mortgage backed securities.
The primary uses of funds are policy benefits, commissions, other product-related acquisition and sales inducement costs, operating expenses, policy loans, dividends to Ameriprise Financial and investment purchases. The Company routinely reviews its sources and uses of funds in order to meet its ongoing obligations.
In 2009, the Company established an agreement to protect its exposure to Genworth Life Insurance Company (“GLIC”) for its reinsured LTC. In early July of 2016, substantial enhancements to this reinsurance protection agreement were finalized. The terms of these confidential provisions within the agreement have been shared, in the normal course of regular reviews, with our domiciliary regulator and rating agencies. Management believes that this agreement and offsetting non LTC legacy arrangements with Genworth will enable the Company to recover on all net exposure in the event of an insolvency of GLIC.
