EU Solvency II – a non-life perspective CAS Spring Meeting Orlando, Florida, 19 June 2007 Arne Sandström, Swedish Insurance Federation

June 2007Arne Sandström2 ”Solvency II will be the crown jewel of the European Union” Allessandro Iuppa President, NAIC Chair, IAIS at the EU Commission’s public hearing in June 2006

June 2007Arne Sandström3 Contents The background to the Solvency system within EU A brief presentation of the Solvency II project and other issues

June 2007Arne Sandström4 EU Solvency background s:early work by Campagne, OECD, CEA etc Pentikäinen, Finland: equalization reserves – risk theory 1970s:compromises 1973: 1st non-life insurance directive 1979: 1st life insurance directive 1980s-1990s:2 nd (1988) and 3 rd (1992) insurance directives: introducing freedom of services with home country control and the single-license concept. 1991: Insurance Accounting Directive, IAD 1998: Insurance Groups Directive, IGD 2002: Financial Conglomerates Directive, FCD

June 2007Arne Sandström5 EU Solvency background – Campagne’s work during the 50s and early 60s Non-life approach: Used the combined ratio: Expense ratio = constant, and equal to 42% (0.42) Loss ratio follows a beta distribution, based on European data: at percentile the ratio is approx. 83% (0.83) Combined ratio = 42% + 83% = 125% (1.25) The company needs approx 25% of the premium income as an extra buffer! The probability or ruin over 3 years is approx 1/1000!

June 2007Arne Sandström6 EU Solvency background – Compromises during the 60s and 70s OECD study commission proposed European compromise for the 1st non-life directive 24% of gross premium written 34% of incurred claims 19% of technical reserves The highest of 18% of gross premiums (<10 million units); else 16% 26% of gross average incurred claims (< 7 million units); else 23% --

June 2007Arne Sandström7 EU Solvency background 1980s Solvency research done in e.g. Finland, UK and Norway 1986/19881st/2nd Int. Conf. on Insurance Solvency 1990s-2000s: Risk-based capital systems introduced in US, Canada, Japan, Australia and Singapore EU: 1994: a solvency review  1997: the Müller report: * the system has proved itself * there is no reason to totally revise it  minor changes  Solvency I (2002)  the Solvency II project

June 2007Arne Sandström8 The first decade - EU Solvency background The first decade, 2000:new systems proposed and introduced in, for example, Denmark, the Netherlands, Sweden, Switzerland, UK. IAIS and IAA work on solvency IASB work on accounting (insurance contracts) EU – Solvency II: – phase I:the learning phase – phase II:the framework directive phase /12 – phase III:the implementing phase

June 2007Arne Sandström9 Contents The background to the Solvency system within EU A brief presentation of the Solvency II project and other issues

June 2007Arne Sandström10 Lamfalussy procedure – comotology, a four-level approach: Level 1: The European Commission, COM, adopts a proposal for a framework directive  2-3 years adopting procedure within Council and parliament Level 2:Level 2 committee - regulators: EIOPC, European Insurance and Occupational Pension Committee; “detail directives”  3 month adopting procedure for COM Level 3: Level 3 committee - supervisors: CEIOPS, Committee of European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Supervisors; guidelines & standards Level 4:COM checks the member states’ compliance with the EU legislation and may take legal action.

June 2007Arne Sandström11

June 2007Arne Sandström12 Three pillar approach – similar to Basel II Pillar I Pillar II Pillar III Quantitative measures: Standard formula for SCR & MCR (Partial) Internal models Disclosure: Supervisory reporting & reporting to stakeholders Qualitative measures: The supervisory review process Cornerstone: A Total Balance Sheet Approach

June 2007Arne Sandström13 Investments Prudent person rule “No arbitrary restrictions on investments” Valuation Assets & Liabilities: market consistent “Liabilities” = technical provisions + “other liabilities” Technical provision calculated on a current exit 1) value basis Hedgeable risks: market consistent valuation Non-hedgeable risks: Best estimate 2) + Risk margin (Cost-of-capital) ) “cost of fulfilling obligations” (IASB) 2) In IAA and IAIS terminology: Current estimate

June 2007Arne Sandström14 Valuation Hedging: “activities designed to reduce the risks imposed by other activities” Two main building blocks in Solvency II: – the valuation of technical liabilities and - The determination of capital requirements Prudent Person plus Ladder of intervention

June 2007Arne Sandström15 Other issues Segmentation: e.g. lines of business Risk mitigation: financial hedging, reinsurance etc Group solvency A robust system of governance, e.g. –Organizational structure –Fit & proper requirements on persons A risk management system, e.g. –Strategies, processes & reporting procedures –Own risk and solvency assessment (ORSA) Actuarial function Disclosure (IASB/IFRS)

June 2007Arne Sandström16 SCR - Standard formula – a modular approach – risk modules, at least: Non-life underwriting risk Life underwriting risk Health underwriting risk (special) Market risk Credit risk (incl spread and counterparty default risk) Operational risk – risk charges: factor based or stress tested Pillar I: SCR

June 2007Arne Sandström17 Pillar I: SCR – risk measure: VaR but possible to use other measures such as TailVaR in Internal Models – confidence level : 99,5% using VaR – time horizon of the solvency assessment: a time horizon of one year for the capital requirement – aggregation: linear correlation (“tail correlation”)

June 2007Arne Sandström18 Standard formula - a modular approach

June 2007Arne Sandström19 Pillar I: SCR – standard formula based on QIS 3 BSCR = Basic SCR C OP = Operational risk

June 2007Arne Sandström20 Pillar I: SCR Standard formula  Internal model SCR Standard formula SCR Replace a subset of parameters by entity specific (underwriting risk modules) SCR Partial Internal Model One or more of the risk or sub-risk modules, but also major business units SCR Internal Model needs approval by the supervisory authority Internal models: - Use test - Statistical quality standards

June 2007Arne Sandström21 Pillar I: MCR –minimum capital requirement QIS 3: a ”simplified” modular approach with an absolute floor (AMCR) The European insurance industry want to have a “compact approach” tested, i.e. a percentage of SCR: MCR = x%SCR –(for transitional arrangements the following information should be disclosed: MCR = (1/3)*SCR)
