embedded value
Embedded value is the measure of the value of business currently on the books of an insurance company; it comprises adjusted net worth (the market value of assets supporting the surplus) plus the present value of expected future profits on in-force business.
Additional Information
Embedded value differs from appraisal value in that the latter also includes the value of future new business. The performance measure is often expressed in terms of growth (i.e., year-on-year increase) in embedded value.
