VM-20 CURRENT YEAR TABLES (ALSO USED FOR VM-21)

The Valuation Manual prescribes swap spreads to be used in calculating reserves under VM-20 and VM-21.  These are shown in Table J.  The VM-20 prescribed swap spreads have been calculated using the average of LIBOR swap spreads from two third-party sources. The NAIC recently discovered that beginning December 31, 2021, one of the two sources began providing SOFR swap spreads instead of LIBOR swap spreads. Consequently, the rates published for 12/31/21 and subsequent months have been a 50/50 blend of LIBOR and SOFR. The exceptions are the swap spreads for the 3-month and 6-month tenors which continue to be based fully on LIBOR.

The NAIC is working toward discussions with both sources to ascertain their ability and desire to provide both LIBOR and SOFR through June 30, 2023, the date on which the publication of LIBOR rates is scheduled to cease.

If you have questions on the Valuation Manual transfer from LIBOR to SOFR, please contact Jim Stinson.
