• Three ways to calculate the SCR
– Standard Formula
– Internal Model
– Partial Internal Model
• Every company has a model for calculating the BEL
– “Internal Model” simply means the SCR shocks have been tailored to that company instead of using the standard ones
– All shocks must be calibrated to be equivalent to a 1-in-200 event (99.5% VAR scenario) at a minimum
Standard Formula vs Internal Model
![Page 29: Solvency II Introduction to Pillar 1 II – Introduction to Pillar 1 06.05.2016 . Ciaráin Kelly, FSAI ... Reinsurance recoverables are an asset Similar approach for other Liabilities](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022030423/5aaaaf6d7f8b9a77188e7fe9/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
• Why use an Internal Model?
– Standard formula does not capture the specifics of your business
– Regulatory requirement
– Capital efficiencies
Standard Formula vs Internal Model
![Page 30: Solvency II Introduction to Pillar 1 II – Introduction to Pillar 1 06.05.2016 . Ciaráin Kelly, FSAI ... Reinsurance recoverables are an asset Similar approach for other Liabilities](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022030423/5aaaaf6d7f8b9a77188e7fe9/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
• Allocate capital to each of the risks your Company faces
• Should have enough capital to survive a 1-in-200 year event (i.e. 99.5% VaR)
• The capital requirements for each of these risks are combined using correlation matrices (to capture diversification benefits)
• This gives you the overall Solvency Capital Requirement!

• Building blocks of the SCR Calculation
• For each sub module calculate
a capital amount to cover a
1-in-200 risk event for that risk category
• Types of Calculations
– “Delta NAV”
– Factor based
Sub Module Calculations
![Page 37: Solvency II Introduction to Pillar 1 II – Introduction to Pillar 1 06.05.2016 . Ciaráin Kelly, FSAI ...

• Delta NAV (or D NAV) is the change in net asset value resulting from a particular shock
• Types of “Delta NAV” shocks
– Asset shock
– Financial Assumption change
– Decrement change
– Expense change
• Many of the SCR components are calculated on this basis
“Delta NAV” Calculations
![Page 38: Solvency II Introduction to Pillar 1 II – Introduction to Pillar 1 06.05.2016 . Ciaráin Kelly, FSAI ... Reinsurance recoverables are an asset Similar approach for other Liabilities](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022030423/5aaaaf6d7f8b9a77188e7fe9/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
• Property Risk Sub-Module
– Recalculate your NAV (i.e. the assets and liabilities) assuming a shock to property prices of 25%
• Expense Risk Sub-Module
– Recalculate your NAV assuming a 10% increase in expenses and a 1% increase in inflation rates
“Delta NAV” Calculation - Example
Scenario Assets Liabilities Net
BEL €100m €100m €0m
Property Risk €75m €100m €-25m
D NAV = €25m
Scenario Assets Liabilities Net
BEL €100m €100m €0m
Expense Risk €100m €112m €-12m
D NAV = €12m

• Premium & Reserves Risk
– Standard Deviation
– Volume measure
– With prescriptive rules on how both of these variables are derived for various lines of business

• Two approaches:
– Health that is like Life business
– Health that is like Non-life business
• Classification is based on the nature of the underlying risks as opposed to the form of contracts
• SCR calculations follow a very similar format to the corresponding Life or Non-Life section
• Diversification benefits if risk is spread across sub-modules

• Covers the risk of financial loss through a counterparty default
• The capital requirement is calculated from a complicated formula using:
– Probabilities of default
– “Loss Given Default”
– Collateral arrangements/risk mitigation
• Separate formulas for Type 1 and Type 2 exposures
– Formula to combine SCR for classes 1 and 2 into a total SCR for counterparty default
Counterparty Risk Module

• If intangible assets are recognised on the balance sheet, then there may be risks attached (and therefore capital requirements)
• A simple formula is used:
SCR for intangible assets = 80% of the value of intangible assets
Intangible Assets

• Correlation Matrices
• Captures Diversification Benefits
– All submodules shocks occurring at one time would be much less likely than a 1-in-200 year event
– Risks can be positively or negatively correlated
Aggregation

• Factor-based formula
• For unit-linked business (where the investment risk is borne by the policyholder):
– Ops risk is 25% of the unit-linked expenses
• For everything else:
– calculate an operational risk component based on premiums and one based on reserves, and use the higher,
– with a cap of 30% of the Basic SCR
Operational Risk Module

• The loss absorbing capacity of technical provisions
– e.g. company changing the bonuses they might pay to with-profit policyholders in shocked scenarios
• The loss-absorbing capacity of deferred tax
– SCR shocks could result in losses (or reduced future profits)
– This could reduce the Deferred Tax liability or increase the Deferred Tax asset, resulting in a negative adjustment to the SCR
Adjustments

• Factor-based formula - calibrated using a Value-at-Risk measure, with an 85% confidence level, over a one-year period
– Uses premiums, technical provisions, capital at risk as inputs
• The MCR is then adjusted to bring it up to 25% of the SCR, or to bring it down to 45% of the SCR if it falls outside those parameters
• Absolute Minimum level (“AMCR”):
– €3.7m for Life
– €2.5m for Non-Life
– €3.6m for Reinsurers
“MCR” – Minimum Capital Requirement

• Own Funds include: Basic Own Funds + Ancillary Own Funds
• Basic Own Funds
= Excess of Assets over Liabilities + subordinated liabilities
• Ancillary Own Funds
= Contingent Capital (unpaid share capital, letters of credit, guarantee etc.)
• Use of Ancillary Own Funds requires prior supervisory approval

• Own Funds are classified into 3 Tiers
– Availability to absorb losses • Liquidity
• Permanent
– Subordination • Claim on assets in wind-up situation
• Examples
– Tier 1: Ordinary Share Capital, Debt
– Tier 2: Preference Shares
– Tier 3: Anything that doesn’t meet tier 2 or 3 requirements
