Definition

Life insurance reserves recorded as financial assets of the U.S. households and nonprofit organizations sector, in millions of dollars at quarter end.

These are end-of-period balances in millions of current U.S. dollars and are not seasonally adjusted. S1M.b covers households and nonprofit organizations together, including farm households; its sector note also includes private equity funds, personal trusts, and domestic hedge funds through 2012:Q3. It is not a household-only measure unless the indicator name says so. The first available observation is 1945:Q4; observations are annual at year end through 1951 and quarterly from 1952:Q1. Missing quarters remain missing and are not interpolated by this dataset. Valuation basis varies by item: real estate and marketable securities are at market value, while consumer durables and other nonfinancial assets use replacement or current cost. Totals and component rows overlap; memo items such as 529 plan assets are already included in total assets. Federal Reserve releases may revise historical values or methods, which can affect comparisons over time.
