VM-22 will be finalized during 2025 with an optional phase-in period beginning 1/1/2026 and mandatory implementation by 1/1/2029. This session will discuss the regulation, including background, calculations, high-level results from the field test and other modeling, as well as key considerations and documentation for actuaries and companies as they prepare to transition their fixed annuities into a principle-based reserve framework. Attendees will gain a clearer understanding of the new VM chapter as well as some of the thinking behind the decisions made.
