1 An introduction to Solvency II Impact on your organisation The Netherlands Singapore Germany Date: October 2013 Author: Sander Ver Loren van Themaat & Bert-Jan Nauta

2 Introduction Solvency II will establish harmonised requirements across the EU Solvency II is an EU Directive aimed at protecting interests of policy holders and stability of the financial system, by ensuring financial stability (solvency) of European (re)insurance companies. The rules stipulate the minimum amounts of financial resources that (re)insurers must have in order to cover the risks to which they are exposed. Solvency I Drivers behind Solvency II The Solvency margin is the amount of regulatory capital an insurance undertaking is obliged to hold against unforeseen events. Solvency margin requirements have been introduced in A limited reform was agreed by the European Parliament and the Council in 2002, which is known as Solvency I. Primarily focused on the prudential standards for insurers and did not include requirements for risk management and governance within firms. Lack of risk sensitivity Scattered EUinsurance market Sub-optimal supervision for groups Several key risks, including market, credit and operational risk, are not properly captured. Risk measurements are not forward-looking and contain very few qualitative requirements. Ensure accurate and timely intervention by supervisors. The present EU framework sets out minimum standards that can be supplemented by additional rules at national level. Differences on a national level result in increased costs for EU insurers and policy holders and hinder competition within the EU. Gap between the way groups are managed and supervised. The current approach to the supervision of groups focused on legal entities, while in reality groups have become increasingly centralised. Lack of convergence A lack of international and cross-sectoral convergence undermines the competitiveness of EU insurers. Lack of cross-sectoral consistency also increases the possibility of regulatory arbitrage. An introduction to Solvency II 2

3 The main elements of Solvency II Increased requirements on risk management and supervision Given the weaknesses of the Solvency I regulation, Solvency II has the objectives to: deepen the integration of the EU insurance market, enhance protection of policyholders and to improve the international competitiveness. These objectives are translated into a framework which is based on three pillars. An overview of the key issues of Solvency II is provided below. Solvency II Pillars Pillar 1 Pillar 2 Pillar 3 Quantitative requirements Focus on quantitative requirements for insurers. 1. Valuation principles. The prudential balance is based on market values (of Assets & Liabilities) and gives a realistic estimate of the financial position of the insurer. 2. Capital requirements. Insurers must comply with two capital requirements: Solvency Capital Requirements (SCR) Minimum Capital Requirements (MCR) SCR are additional requirement on MCR to cover 99.5% to secure bridging one year. If capital is below SCR the supervisor may interfere. Supervisory review Focus on qualitative risk management and system of governance. 1. Risk management. Includes strategies, processes, and procedures necessary to identify, manage and report on the risks at individual and aggregated level. 2. Own Risk and Solvency Assessment (ORSA). As part of the risk management function an insurer assesses recurrently risk and solvency. 3. Capital Add-on. The Supervisor can adjust capital requirements of insurers by a so called capital add-on. Market discipline Focus on disclosure, this should enhance transparency and market discipline. Two reporting streams defined: Reports for the public (Solvency and Financial Condition Report - SFCR). Reports for the supervisor. These disclosures will encompass to various degrees: Business overview and performance Governance Valuation basis used for solvency purposes Risk and capital management Group supervision An additional layer of supervision on consolidated level in addition to individual supervision on insurers, to mitigate systematic risk. An introduction to Solvency II 3

4 Timeline & Stakeholders An on going process that affects numerous stakeholders The proposed implementation date for Solvency II was set at January 2014 and will not be met. This is primarily due to adoption to the Lisbon treaty, covered in a legislative proposal known as Omnibus II. As of today, the final draft of Omnibus II is still waiting for parliament s vote. In October 2013 it was announced that the application date is postponed to January Timeline Introduction of Solvency I, a verification and harmonization of existing EU-wide solvency requirements. Solvency II level one directive approved by the European Parliament and adopted by the European Council. Target application date November Deadline seems unrealistic given the slow progress on Omnibus II. First Quick Fix. The Commission proposes that transposition of Solvency II will be in June 2013 and application from January Application deadline 1 January, During the introduction. the demand for a second more comprehensive reform process evolved. Solvency II level one text has to be adopted to the Lisbon Treaty, A legislative proposal known as "Omnibus II will be developed. Start negotiations on Omnibus II directive (The Commission, the Council and the European Parliament) CEIOPS replaced by EIOPA. Second Quick Fix. Application date is postponed to January 2016 and Transposition date to January Who benefits with decreased chances of failing insurers? Policyholders Uniform/enhanced level of protection across EU and strengthen confidence in insurers products. Increased competition (price drops and increase in innovation). Insurers Alignment of supervisory requirements with market practices. True level playing field. International competiveness. Supervisors Better supervisory tools, enabling more timely and effective action. Sharing of tasks between solo and group supervisors. Economy as a whole Increase international competiveness of insurers. Efficient allocation of risk and capital. Decrease in cost of raising money by insurers. An introduction to Solvency II 4

7 Focus on pillar one: quantitative requirements Solvency II has a focus on risk measures Solvency is also referred to as Basel for insurers. From a risk perspective there are strong similarities in the risk measures used within banks to those within solvency II, especially within market risk measures. Quantitative requirements on assets Solvency Capital Requirements Technical provisions Consist of best estimate value of liabilities + risk margin. Solvency Capital Requirements (SCR) Measure for quantifiable risk of insurer. Corresponds to VaR net assets at 99,5% CL on a 1 year horizon. Minimum Capital Requirements (MCR) Lower level of capital sufficiency than SCR. Threshold for immediate supervisory intervention. Market Risk quantifies the impact from various shocks: Adjustment Solvency Capital Requirements (SCR) BSCR Operational risk In scope of our risk experts Market Health Default Life Nonlife Intang Assets covering technical provisions, the MCR and the SCR Assets MCR RM BE Solvency Capital Requirements (SCR) Minimum Capital Requirements Technical Provisions Interest Rate: Equity: Property: Spread: Currency: Concentration Illiquidity: Interest-rate term structure shock Equity value shocks Real estate value shocks Credit spread shocks FX rate shocks Charge for excess counterparty concentrations 65% fall of illiquidity premium Each shock is calibrated such that it corresponds to the required Value-at- Risk at 99.5% C.L. on a 1-year horizon. Shock scenarios are provided by QIS5 technical specifications (here we refer to version 5 July 2010). An introduction to Solvency II 7
