2. Permission to reprint or distribute any content from this presentation requires the prior written approval of Standard & Poor’s. Agenda How effective will Solvency II be? Will there be more insolvencies under Solvency II? How transparent will Solvency II be? Will Solvency II be highly politicised? Are supervisors and insurers ready? Will Solvency II result in market consolidation? Is Solvency 2 likely to have a global impact? How does Solvency II compare with our rating approach? How will Solvency II change our rating approach?

3. Permission to reprint or distribute any content from this presentation requires the prior written approval of Standard & Poor’s. How Effective Will Solvency II Be? Too early to say due to: –Political influence –Calibration of standard model (Pillar 1) –Execution by EC –Execution by member states –Execution by supervisors Potential for more intelligent and risk-sensitive supervision

4. Permission to reprint or distribute any content from this presentation requires the prior written approval of Standard & Poor’s. Will There Be More Insolvencies Under Solvency II? Track record in continental Europe is good (not UK) Difficult to maintain under Solvency II Political decision needs to be taken regarding tolerance of insurer failure EC has working hypothesis of risk of ruin probability of 0.5% based on one year horizon –Greater level of risk tolerance than that of many European supervisors and governments historically

5. Permission to reprint or distribute any content from this presentation requires the prior written approval of Standard & Poor’s. How Transparent Will Solvency II Be? Much more public information under Pillar 3 Supervisory returns currently not public documents other than U.K. and Ireland Pillar 2 capital loadings may not be public

6. Permission to reprint or distribute any content from this presentation requires the prior written approval of Standard & Poor’s. Will Solvency II Be Highly Politicised? Yes But consultation is happening well in advance of implementation The potential political consequences of Solvency II : –Policyholder guarantee schemes to respond to the insurer insolvencies under Solvency II –Pricing will be increasingly risk sensitive with more risks becoming uninsurable or unaffordable (earthquake, flood or construction defects) –Greater disincentives for insurers to hold equity investments  Lower equity content in insurance products offered to consumers  Limiting future retirement financing through pension products

7. Permission to reprint or distribute any content from this presentation requires the prior written approval of Standard & Poor’s. Are Supervisors and Insurers Ready? Supervisor readiness: 1UK 2Switzerland 3Netherlands, Denmark, Portugal 4Germany, France, Italy, Spain Companies’ readiness: Similar except CRO Forum members

8. Permission to reprint or distribute any content from this presentation requires the prior written approval of Standard & Poor’s. Will Solvency II Result In Consolidation? It will accelerate consolidation Consolidation is already advanced in many markets In much of Continental Europe consolidation still has a long way to go But regardless of Solvency II, survival depends on: –being good at what you do, and either –having scale and/or diversity, or –having a defendable niche Added transparency

9. Permission to reprint or distribute any content from this presentation requires the prior written approval of Standard & Poor’s. Direct Market Impacts Capital requirements to increase substantially but partly covered by available capital  No industry-wide capital raising, but some will need to. Some owners will have the capacity and willingness to contribute new capital, others will not. Pillar 1 diversification benefits will give the bigger, more diversified groups capital relief and a pricing advantage  Smaller insurers may find it increasingly difficult to compete while providing similar returns to their owners Risk management capability and sophistication required to respond to Solvency II is demanding  Systems overhauls may be needed, actuarial skills are in short supply

10. Permission to reprint or distribute any content from this presentation requires the prior written approval of Standard & Poor’s. Is Solvency 2 Likely To Have A Global Impact? Principles-based risk sensitive regulation is becoming the norm –80’s: US led the way (RBC models) –Late 90’s: Canada (DCAT) –More recently: Australia, UK (ICAS) and Switzerland (SST) –From 2012: EU? State-based US system stifling regulatory innovation –Eg long-discussed formation of REO, with modest impact –Principles-based reserving discussions likely to take years to finalise –Policy forms and premium rates still needing regulatory approval for most LoB’s. The Optional Federal Charter solution? IAIS has now got real traction Global footprint of CFO forum members

11. Permission to reprint or distribute any content from this presentation requires the prior written approval of Standard & Poor’s. How Does Solvency II Compare With S&P’s Rating Approach? Converging but differentiated approaches Some common interests with supervisors “A rating is a rehearsal for Solvency II”

12. Permission to reprint or distribute any content from this presentation requires the prior written approval of Standard & Poor’s. Elements of S&P Analysis Mapped to Solvency II 1.Management & corp. strategy 2.Enterprise risk management 3.Industry risk 4.Competitive position 5.Operating performance 6.Capitalisation Capital adequacy Reserves Reinsurance ceded 7.Investments and Liquidity 8.Financial flexibility Pillar 3 Pillar 2 Pillar 3 Pillar 1 Pillar 3

13. Permission to reprint or distribute any content from this presentation requires the prior written approval of Standard & Poor’s. How Will Solvency II Change S&P Rating Approach? Overall approach unlikely to change However: –Understand any concerns the supervisor has arising from Solvency II supervision –Supervisory view of capital adequacy will become more important –Industry risks will change
