Either of the following conditions exists: The repayment of principal and interest credited to participants in the plan is a financial obligation of the issuer of the investment contract. Prospective interest crediting rate adjustments are provided to participants in the plan on a designated pool of investments held by the plan or the contract issuer, whereby a financially responsible third party, through a contract generally referred to as a wrapper, must provide assurance that the adjustments to the interest crediting rate will not result in a future interest crediting rate that is less than zero. If an event has occurred such that realization of full contract value for a particular investment contract is no longer probable (for example, a significant decline in creditworthiness of the contract issuer or wrapper provider), the investment contract shall no longer be considered fully benefit-responsive. The terms of the investment contract require all permitted participant-initiated transactions with the plan to occur at contract value with no conditions, limits, or restrictions. Permitted participant-initiated transactions are those transactions allowed by the plan, such as any of the following: Withdrawals for benefits Loans Transfers to other funds within the plan. An event that limits the ability of the plan to transact at contract value with the issuer and that also limits the ability of the plan to transact at contract value with the participants in the plan, such as any of the following, must be probable of not occurring: Premature termination of the contracts by the plan Plant closings Layoffs Plan termination Bankruptcy Mergers Early retirement incentives. The plan itself must allow participants reasonable access to their funds. If access to funds is substantially restricted by plan provisions, investment contracts held by those plans may not be considered to be fully benefit-responsive. For example, if plan participants are allowed access at contract value to all or a portion of their account balances only upon termination of their participation in the plan, it would not be considered reasonable access and, therefore, investment contracts held by that plan would generally not be deemed to be fully benefit-responsive. However, in plans with a single investment fund that allow reasonable access to assets by inactive participants, restrictions on access to assets by active participants consistent with the objective of the plan (for example, retirement or health and welfare benefits) will not affect the benefit responsiveness of the investment contracts held by those single-fund plans. Also, if a plan limits participants' access to their account balances to certain specified times during the plan year (for example, semiannually or quarterly) to control the administrative costs of the plan, that limitation generally would not affect the benefit responsiveness of the investment contracts held by that plan. In addition, administrative provisions that place short-term restrictions (for example, three or six months) on transfers to competing fixed-rate investment options to limit arbitrage among those investment options (equity wash provisions) would not affect a contract's benefit responsiveness.\"><span>fully benefit-responsive investment contracts</span></a>, which are measured at contract value, see paragraphs <a href=\"/asc/325/965/#325-965-35-8\" class=\"xref\">965-325-35-8</a> and <a href=\"/asc/325/965/#325-965-50-2\" class=\"xref\">965-325-50-2</a>.</span></span></div></div>","snippet":"Investments measured using fair value in the statement of net assets available for benefits or in the notes shall be presented by general type, including the following:\n(a) Registered investment companies (also known as …","pending":false,"provenance":{"source_url":"https://asc.fasb.org/","snapshot_version":"sha256:15aea8165dff9f5ae47d9484f8470588b13b307f56e1d50801bf4d85ec190e3f","record_version":"sha256:b26e9d1b7eb4b10cb60d940ad0730e709e3d3dd1add833d208df13d564e7bb3c","downloaded_from":"2026-09-09T23:48:51.726Z","last_downloaded_at":"2026-09-09T23:48:51.726Z","date_scope":"source_page","effective_as_of":null,"effective_as_of_status":"Not established by retrieval timestamps","source_key":"1943274/2147478947","source_sha256":"1c47e926421d502b372202378299f8cf1fa2bc05b6e46e6c521a9754790a63d5"}}],"provenance":{"source_url":"https://asc.fasb.org/","snapshot_version":"sha256:15aea8165dff9f5ae47d9484f8470588b13b307f56e1d50801bf4d85ec190e3f","record_version":"sha256:99fba6e1d3614ca3f6d1bf38a3cf3e1916145f5d572a999125171e321f634026","downloaded_from":"2026-09-09T23:48:51.726Z","last_downloaded_at":"2026-09-09T23:48:51.726Z","date_scope":"source_page","effective_as_of":null,"effective_as_of_status":"Not established by retrieval timestamps","source_key":"1943274/2147478947","source_sha256":"1c47e926421d502b372202378299f8cf1fa2bc05b6e46e6c521a9754790a63d5"}}],"provenance":{"source_url":"https://asc.fasb.org/","snapshot_version":"sha256:15aea8165dff9f5ae47d9484f8470588b13b307f56e1d50801bf4d85ec190e3f","record_version":"sha256:526e6bbc0fba3db9da70c563c7e44b4ef19187d6bd2cbc16a131873925314306","downloaded_from":"2026-09-09T23:48:51.726Z","last_downloaded_at":"2026-09-09T23:48:51.726Z","date_scope":"source_page","effective_as_of":null,"effective_as_of_status":"Not established by retrieval timestamps","source_key":"1943274/2147478947","source_sha256":"1c47e926421d502b372202378299f8cf1fa2bc05b6e46e6c521a9754790a63d5"}},"provenance":{"source_url":"https://asc.fasb.org/","snapshot_version":"sha256:15aea8165dff9f5ae47d9484f8470588b13b307f56e1d50801bf4d85ec190e3f","record_version":"sha256:526e6bbc0fba3db9da70c563c7e44b4ef19187d6bd2cbc16a131873925314306","downloaded_from":"2026-09-09T23:48:51.726Z","last_downloaded_at":"2026-09-09T23:48:51.726Z","date_scope":"source_page","effective_as_of":null,"effective_as_of_status":"Not established by retrieval timestamps","source_key":"1943274/2147478947","source_sha256":"1c47e926421d502b372202378299f8cf1fa2bc05b6e46e6c521a9754790a63d5"}}
