Derivatives

 

Derivative usage and limits on notional amounts will be set by the Board of Directors of CMFG Life Insurance Company from time to time and must comply with the CMFG Life Insurance Company Derivative Use Plan and Derivative Policy. Derivatives will not be used for speculative purposes.

 

 

Alternatives

 

The alternative equity allowed as part of these guidelines may be held in the form of direct limited partnership holdings in private equity funds or as equity ownership in an affiliated entity formed to hold such limited partnership holdings in private equity funds.

 

Transfer restrictions

 

Assets may be transferred into and out of the separate accounts as long as asset values exceed liability values after such transfers. Impaired securities, securities in default or assets encumbered by other agreements (modified coinsurance “segregated” assets, collateral for trusts, etc.) may not be transferred into the separate accounts.

 

Borrowing to Support the Separate Accounts

 

Assets of the Separate Accounts may be used to collateralize borrowing in order to meet short-term liquidity needs of the Separate Accounts.

 

Use of Funding Agreements

 

Assets of the Separate Accounts may be used to collateralize funding agreements with the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”). Funding agreement proceeds will be invested within the Separate Accounts in assets that are consistent with these investment guidelines and that match funding agreement liabilities. The funding agreement liabilities are recorded in each separate account so we are using separate account assets to satisfy liabilities attributable to the separate accounts. We track these assets that back the funding agreements in a separate portfolio so they can be identified separately.

 

Securities Lending

 

The Separate Accounts may participate in a securities lending program consistent with the terms of the general account securities lending program in which collateral is received for loaned securities, provided investments made with such collateral are invested within the Separate Accounts in assets consistent with these Investment guidelines and that match securities lending program liabilities.

 

Applicability of Guidelines to New Products

 

Portfolios are established within each Separate Account in order to identify the specific assets intended to support obligations associated with different contract forms. The assets within a portfolio intended to support a new product may not be diversified among the asset classes described above until the assets within that portfolio total $100 million. However, the total assets within the Separate Account will comply with these Investment Guidelines at all times
