procedures in place regarding counterparties, including review and approval of the counterparty and the Company’s exposure limit, collateral posting requirements, collateral monitoring and margin calls on collateral. The Company manages counterparty credit risk on an individual counterparty basis through master netting arrangements covering derivative transactions in the Investment Management Services and Corporate operations. These agreements allow the Company to contractually net amounts due from a counterparty with those amounts due to such counterparty when certain triggering events occur. The Company only executes swaps under master netting agreements, which typically contain mutual credit downgrade provisions that generally provide the ability to require assignment or termination in the event either the Company or the counterparty is downgraded below a specified credit rating. The netting agreements minimize the potential for losses related to credit exposure and thus serve to mitigate the Company’s nonperformance risk under these derivatives.

Reinsurance recoverables related to medical claims are included in premium and related receivables. Changes in estimates of incurred claims for prior years are primarily attributable to reserving under moderately adverse conditions. Additionally, as a result of minimum HBR and other return of premium programs, approximately $39 million, $47 million, and $26 million of the “Incurred related to: Prior years” was recorded as a reduction to premium revenues in 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Further, claims processing initiatives yielded increased claim payment recoveries and coordination of benefits related to prior year dates of service. Changes in medical utilization and cost trends and the effect of medical management initiatives may also contribute to changes in medical claim liability estimates. While the Company has evidence that medical management initiatives are effective on a case by case basis, medical management initiatives primarily focus on events and behaviors prior to the incurrence of the medical event and generation of a claim. Accordingly, any change in behavior, leveling of care, or coordination of treatment occurs prior to claim generation and as a result, the costs prior to the medical management initiative are not known by the Company. Additionally, certain medical management initiatives are focused on member and provider education with the intent of influencing behavior to appropriately align the medical services provided with the member's acuity. In these cases, determining whether the medical management initiative changed the behavior cannot be determined. Because of the complexity of its business, the number of states in which it operates, and the volume of claims that it processes, the Company is unable to practically quantify the impact of these initiatives on its changes in estimates of IBNR.

In August 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-05, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820)-Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value,” to clarify that in circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available, the Company should not make an adjustment to fair value for restrictions that prevent the transfer of a liability. The Company adopted this standard as of the fourth quarter of 2009. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, results of operations or cash flows.

INVESTMENT DIVERSIFICATIONS: The Companies' investment policies related to the investment portfolio require diversification by asset type, company, and industry and set limits on the amount which can be invested in an individual issuer. Such policies are at least as restrictive as those set forth by regulatory authorities. The following percentages relate to holdings at December 31, 1999 and December 31, 1998. Fixed maturities included investments in basic industrials (29% in 1999, 26% in 1998), conventional mortgage-backed securities (22% in 1999, 25% in 1998), financial companies (16% in 1999, 19% in 1998), and other asset-backed securities (19% in 1999, 11% in 1998). Mortgage loans on real estate have been analyzed by geographical location with concentrations by state identified as California (12% in 1999 and 1998), Utah (10% in 1999, 11% in 1998), and Georgia (9% in 1999, 10% in 1998). There are no other concentrations of mortgage loans on real estate in any state exceeding ten percent at December 31, 1999 and 1998. Mortgage loans on real estate have also been analyzed by collateral type with significant concentrations identified in office buildings (34% in 1999, 36% in 1998), industrial buildings (33% in 1999, 32% in 1998), retail facilities (19% in 1999, 20% in 1998), and multi-family apartments (10% in 1999, 8% in 1998). Equity securities are not significant to the Companies' overall investment portfolio.

Our reinsurance and insurance subsidiaries analyze, at least quarterly, liabilities for unpaid loss and LAE established in prior years and adjust their expected ultimate cost, where necessary, to reflect favorable or unfavorable development in loss experience and new information, including, for certain catastrophe events, revised industry estimates of the magnitude of a catastrophe. Adjustments to previously recorded liabilities for unpaid loss and LAE, both favorable and unfavorable, are reflected in our financial results in the periods in which these adjustments are made and are referred to as prior accident year loss reserve development. The following table presents the reserves established in connection with the loss and LAE of our reinsurance and insurance subsidiaries on a gross and net basis by line of business. These reserve amounts represent the accumulation of estimates of ultimate loss (including for IBNR) and LAE.

• For the year ended December 31, 2009, the gain on GMWB derivatives, net, was primarily due to liability model assumption updates related to favorable policyholder experience of $566, the relative outperformance of the underlying actively managed funds as compared to their respective indices of $550, and the impact of the Company’s own credit standing of $154. Additional net gains of $56 resulted from lower implied market volatility and a general increase in long-term interest rates, partially offset by rising equity markets. The net loss on the U.S. macro hedge program was primarily the result of a higher equity market valuation.

Variable pay Of the variable pay component, one-third is determined by an employee’s score on individual targets in a calendar year. The remaining two-thirds are determined by the financial performance of a.s.r. measured in terms of financial results and customer appreciation. At the beginning of every calendar year, employees and their managers agree on individual targets that should be achieved during that year. These targets need to reflect a clear focus on improving our customer appreciation rating. The targets to be achieved in terms of financial results and customer appreciation are adopted annually by the Executive Board and the Supervisory Board. These targets are discussed with, and explained to, the Works Council before they are adopted. Variable pay is a percentage of basic annual pay.

Valuation allowances on mortgage loans are established based upon inherent losses expected by management to be realized in connection with future dispositions or settlement of mortgage loans, including foreclosures. The Company establishes valuation allowances for estimated impairments on an individual loan basis as of the balance sheet date. Such valuation allowances are based on the excess carrying value of the loan over the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s original effective interest rate, the value of the loan’s collateral if the loan is in the process of foreclosure or is otherwise collateral-dependent, or the loan’s market value if the loan is being sold. Non-specific valuation allowances are established for mortgage loans based upon several loan factors, including the Company’s historical experience for loan losses, defaults and loss severity, loss expectations for loans with similar risk characteristics and industry statistics. These evaluations are revised as conditions change and new information becomes available. In addition to historical experience, management considers qualitative factors that include the impact of changing macro-economic conditions, which may not be currently reflected in the loan portfolio performance, and the quality of the loan portfolio.

The integrated stress test focuses primarily on the tier 1 ratio at the end of the multi-year observation period. It should not fall below a sustainable level, meaning that is should not require the bank to substantially increase capital or to significantly reduce its business activities. The current minimum amount of tier 1 capital is therefore determined by the size of a potential economic downturn. The downturn scenario assumed incorporates recognition of the necessary loan loss provisions and potential pro-cyclical effects (which increase the minimum regulatory capital requirement) along with the impact of foreign exchange rate fluctuations and other valuation and earnings effects.

The Insurance Group's exposure to loss from a single event with respect to in-force policies at year end 1997 is estimated at approximately $600 million after-tax. Accordingly, periodic underwriting results remain subject to extreme volatility. Berkshire's management is willing to accept such volatility provided there is a reasonable prospect of long-term profitability.

General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses increased from $204.1 million in 1998 to $266.3 million in 1999, an increase of $62.2 million, or 30.5%.

The remaining increase is primarily due to higher business levels.

Our investments in ABS at December 31, 2015 consist mainly of CLO debt tranched securities (“CLO Debt”) purchased primarily as new issues during 2013-2015. Of these new issues all had credit ratings of AA or better. We utilize a scenario-based approach to reviewing our CLO Debt portfolio based on the current asset market price. We also review subordination levels of our securities to determine their ability to absorb credit losses of underlying collateral. If losses are forecast to be below the subordination level for the tranche held by us, the security is determined not to be impaired. We have concluded there are no credit losses anticipated for any of our CLO Debt at December 31, 2015.

As noted above, there was unfavorable loss emergence in 2012 compared with claims development patterns assumed in earlier periods associated with CATA’s Terminated Program Business. Specifically, cumulative losses for this business, which include both loss payments and case reserves, in respect of prior accident years were expected to be lower through December 31, 2012 than the actual cumulative losses through that date. The amount of higher cumulative losses, expressed as a percentage of carried loss and LAE reserves at the beginning of the year, was 3.4 percent.

In projections using December 31, 2008 data, the methods that use explicit medical cost inflation assumptions included medical cost inflation assumptions ranging from 3.5% to 8.5%. Corresponding medical cost inflation assumptions in prior projections were 3.5% to 8.5% at December 31, 2007 and 3.5% to 9.0% at December 31, 2006. The selection of medical cost inflation assumptions for use in the actuarial methodologies in each of these analyses has been based on observed recent and longer-term historical medical cost inflation in our claims data and in the U.S. economy more generally. The rate of medical cost inflation as reflected in our historical medical payments per claim has averaged approximately 6.5% over the past five to ten years. The rate of medical cost inflation in the general U.S. economy, as measured by the consumer price index-medical care, has averaged approximately 4.0% over the past ten years.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13 Financial Instruments - Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The amendments in this ASU introduce broad changes to accounting for credit impairment of financial instruments. The primary updates include the introduction of a new current expected credit loss ("CECL") model that is based on expected rather than incurred losses and amendments to the accounting for impairment of fixed maturity securities available for sale. This update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We are still evaluating the effect this new guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures and have not yet concluded on its effects. We do not plan to early adopt the standard.
