NEW YORK, Feb. 09, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- WTW (NASDAQ: WTW) today announced the release of the next generation of its U.S. Library models within RiskAgility FM—a major upgrade that fully incorporates Valuation Manual 22 (VM-22) requirements for non-variable annuity products. The enhanced model suite equips insurers and reinsurers with a powerful, production-ready platform to meet the new VM-22 reserving framework with accuracy, speed, and transparency.

VM-22 reshapes statutory valuation for fixed annuities, fixed indexed annuities, structured settlements, and pension risk transfer (PRT) liabilities by introducing a market-aligned, principles-based approach. The updated RiskAgility FM U.S. Library models provide an end-to-end modeling environment that fully aligns with VM-22, enabling companies to navigate the transition with confidence.

The release builds upon WTW’s existing asset and liability modeling suite for U.S. statutory and generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) valuation, delivering comprehensive VM-22 reserving capabilities, including:

• Enhanced asset–liability integration, supporting full investment modeling and key interactions required under VM-22
• Efficient projection architecture, enabling distribution of both outer-loop (projection) and inner-loop (valuation) runs
• Built-in support for VM-22 aggregation groups, portfolio-aligned investment strategies, and scenario-based reinvestment rules
  
  

Kim Steiner, North American Life Practice Leader, Insurance Consulting and Technology, WTW, said: “I'm excited to bring this next generation of RiskAgility FM models to the U.S. annuity market at such a pivotal moment. By delivering a complete VM-22-ready model suite, we’re giving insurers the ability to meet the new standard with precision and accelerate their transformation toward a more sophisticated, future-proof modeling framework.”
