Why is the max illustrated rate changing?

The original Actuarial Guideline 49 (AG49), which was introduced in September of 2015, provided insurance companies with a standardized way to calculate the maximum illustrated rate. Part of this calculation takes into account how the index has performed over a look-back period. This period averages the annual return for all possible 25-year periods from the most recent 65 calendar years. After the close of each calendar year, we recalculate the maximum illustrated rate after incorporating the most recent year. The regulation was also updated in 2023 to look at the cost to the carrier to hedge each strategy.
