Note 14 – Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) ("AOCI") includes net unrealized appreciation on securities and derivatives, change in discount rate and instrument-specific credit risk for certain long-duration insurance contractholder liabilities (Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements), foreign currency translation and the net postretirement benefits liability adjustment. AOCI includes the Company's share from unconsolidated entities reported on the equity method. Generally, tax effects in AOCI are established at the currently enacted tax rate and reclassified to Shareholders' net (loss) income in the same period that the related pre-tax AOCI reclassifications are recognized.
Shareholders' other comprehensive loss, net of tax, for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023, is primarily attributable to the change in discount rates for certain long-duration liabilities (following the adoption of Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Long-Duration Contracts in 2023) and unrealized changes in the market values of securities and derivatives, including the impacts from unconsolidated entities reported on the equity method.
