ICOLI can provide improvements to your investment returns, but how do you handle this asset on your books?
ICOLI Accounting
ICOLI accounting is straight forward.
GAAP Reporting
-
- ICOLI surrender value is reported as an “Other Asset” on your balance sheet. (ASC 325-30)
- Changes in surrender value are reported as “Other Income” on your income statement. (ASC 325-30)
Statutory Reporting
-
- ICOLI is considered an “Admitted Asset”. (SSAP 21(6))
- ICOLI surrender value is reported on line 25 of the assets side of the balance sheet as “Aggregate write-ins other-than-invested asset”.
- The specifics of the year-to-year change in the ICOLI values are then added to the detail lines 2501-2598 of the assets side of the balance sheet.
- Changes in surrender value are reported on line 14 of the income statement as “Details of write-ins aggregated at line 14 for miscellaneous income”.
- The specifics of the change in the ICOLI values are then added to the detail lines 0501-0598 of the income statement.
If your goal is to increase returns without increasing underlying investment risk, then consider ICOLI.
