18 Interest rates
19 Negative Interest Rate Policy (NIRP) At end January 2016, the Bank of Japan (BoJ) introduced negative interest rate of 0.1% on the policy rate balance of reserves held by financial institutions at the BoJ. The majority of reserves, basic balance, continue to earn 0.1% The macro add-on balance earns zero % At start of March 2016, 10 Year JGB s were auctioned at a negative yield of 0.024%. Objectives of NIRP Encourage bank lending and encourage investor shift from bonds to riskier assets Counter Yen appreciation To reduce longer term yields to allow the Japanese government to finance at (near) zero cost.

21 Classification of bonds under Japanese statutory accounting Categorization Comment Balance sheet Held to maturity (HTM) HTM bonds are not to be sold before redemption. If a company sells HTM bonds, all HTM bonds are re-classified to AFS and the company is not allowed to classify to HTM for two years. Amortized historical cost Reserve matching (ALM) ALM bonds may be used up to the level of policy reserves. ALM bonds must specify the policy group whose reserves are to be matched. The duration of the ALM bonds must lie between 80% and 125% of the corresponding liability duration, and bonds can be sold to reduce duration gaps. Amortized historical cost Available for sale (AFS) - Market value 21
22 Life Insurance Reserving Overview Reserving bases reflect historical conditions at the time of policy issues and are not reassessed to reflect current or prospective investment returns, expenses, or claims rates. Policy reserves are the maximum of: Surrender values, Reserves based on the assumptions for product pricing, and Standard valuation basis reserves. The standard valuation basis defined by the Financial Services Agency ( FSA ) is as follows: Method: Net level premium. Mortality assumption: Mortality table prepared by the Institute of Actuaries of Japan and approved by the FSA. The current table is the Life Insurance Standard (LIS) Table 2007 Valuation interest rate assumption: Rate determined by formula which differs by product type The same reserving assumptions are applied throughout the lifetime of a policy dependent on its issue date ( locked-in ). The appointed actuary s opinion is required to perform an annual reserve adequacy test, if this test is not passed, reserves are required to be strengthened. For medical ( third-sector ) products, a separate reserve adequacy test may be required. For variable annuities (VAs), guarantee reserves are required. Solvency capital requirements based on specified RBC factors 22
23 Standard Valuation Interest Rate Regular premium policies: The standard valuation interest rate is recalculated every 12 months, using 1 October as the calculation date. The base rate is calculated as the minimum of {Average JGB10 over the last 3 years, and Average JGB10 over the last 10 years}. A prudential margin (i.e., a safety factor ) is applied to the selected average rate. The prudential margin: 0.9 for the part of base rate between 0% and 1%, 0.75 for the part between 1% and 2%, 0.5 for the part between 2% and 4%, and 0.25 for the part above 4%. The standard valuation rate is then applied to reserves on business written with effect from 1 April in the following year and applied throughout the lifetime of the policies written in the following fiscal year. 23
24 Standard Valuation Interest Rate Single Premium policies: The standard valuation interest rate is recalculated every 3 months, using 1 January, 1 April, 1 July and 1 October as calculation dates. The standard valuation rate is then applied to reserves on business written with effect from 3 months after the calculation date and applied throughout the lifetime of the policies written under the given valuation interest rate. Single Premium Whole of Life : The base rate is calculated as the minimum of {Average of (JGB10 + JGB20)/2 over last 3 months and Average of (JGB10 + JGB20)/2 over last 1 year}. Prudential margin is also applied. Single Premium Endowment and Annuities: The base rate is calculated as the minimum of {Average JGB10 over last 3 months and Average JGB10 over last 1 year}. Prudential margin is also applied. 24
25 Standard Valuation Interest Rate At 1 April 2016, the standard valuation interest rates are: Regular payment products: 1.0% Likely to reduce to 0.25% at 1 April 2017, based on current JGB yields. Single premium whole life (SPWL): 0.75% Will reduce to 0.25% at 1 July 2016 Single premium endowment (SPE) / single premium annuity (SPA): 0.5% Will reduce to zero at 1 July
26 Responses of life insurers: Diversify investment portfolio away from JGBs, but alternative strategies are limited by additional risk costs Products: withdraw Yen-denominated single premium products Increased focus on non-yen denominated products Protection business continues to provide strong margins
27 Variable / Fixed Annuity Market
28 The distribution of insurance products through banks and securities companies was implemented over several phases of market deregulation October 2002 Individual annuity insurance, including variable annuities and fixed annuities December 2005 Single premium whole life insurance Single premium endowment insurance Short-term regular premium endowment insurance Saving type pure endowment insurance December 2007 Term insurance Regular premium whole of life insurance Long-term regular premium endowment insurance Medical / nursing care insurance, etc. 28

31 Single premium Invested amount Case 1 Case 2 In the early 2000s, popular VA products in the had an accumulation phase of 10 years with a GMAB guarantee Typical fee levels were 2.35% pa plus asset management fees. Fund switching allowed free of charge up to a specified number of times per year Illustration of typical VA product Upfront fee: 5% of single premium Case 1: If fund value exceeds the base sum assured, the fund value is the annuity fund Case 2: If fund value is less than the base sum assured, the base sum assured is the annuity fund Base sum assured Death benefit Fund value = surrender value The annuity fund can be received as a lump sum or as annuity payments An additional 10% of the base sum assured is paid out upon accidental death The accumulation phase can be chosen from a minimum of 10 years up to a maximum of age 90 31
32 Death benefit Accidental death benefit (110% of fund value) Due to low yields on Japanese government bonds and market sentiment toward yen depreciation after some years of yen appreciation, foreign currency FA business also gained popularity. Illustration Foreign Currency FA Product with 5,7 or 10 years interest guarantee period Bonus additional crediting rate of 1% in first policy year Single premium (in selected currency) +1% crediting rate Fund value (in selected currency) Annuity fund (in selected currency) Selected currency of US dollars or euro Accumulation phase can be extended to a maximum of 40 years, up to age 90. Surrender value is subject to a MVA Annuity fund can be received as a lump sum or as annuity payments. The lump sum payment can be received in US dollars, euro, or yen. The annuity payments are in yen. The policyholder bears exchange rate risk. Accumulation phase Issue date End of first policy year Annuitization date 32
33 Yen/USD Exchange Rate. (Yen) 140 Exchange rates at end of fiscal year Yen appreciation USD/JPY Yen depreciation (FY) 33
34 Single premium (in selected currency) FA portion 100% of single premium (in selected currency) Example hybrid between a foreign currency FA and a VA. A certain portion of the single premium is invested in a foreign currency (FA portion), which covers the GMAB, by earning the guaranteed interest rate. The remaining (VA portion) is invested in a mutual fund including equities. Illustration VA/FA Hybrid No upfront fees VA portion Death Benefit Fund Value Surrender Value Surrender value in yen Extra return Currency of the FA portion is selected between AUD and USD The AUD version allows choice of GMAB of 100% or 110% of single premium (only 100% for USD) The surrender value is subject to a MVA. Accumulation phase (10 years) 34
35 Summary Aging population is driving the profile of insurance needs in Japan, including demand for medical expenses products Ultra-low / negative interest rates are eliminating the viability of Yen-based savings products Low Yen yields have driven consumers towards foreign currency denominated products Large Japanese life insurers are now expanding their businesses outside Japan 35
