Executive summary

Executive summary

Part

PageA - Business and performanceThe business activities in our reinsurance and ERGO fields of business are broken down into material lines of business and regions. The technical result for the Group as a whole was significantly above the level of the previous year. In property-casualty reinsurance, this was due to a significantly lower impact from COVID-19-related loss expenditure. In life and health reinsurance, the technical result continued to be impacted by the pandemic. The technical result improved in the ERGO field of business. Our investment result was slightly down on the previous year, largely due to lower net profits from the disposal of investments and somewhat lower regular income. Conversely, a significantly improved currency result had a positive effect on the result.

3-14

B - System of governanceMunich Re has an effective system of governance that is adequate for the nature, scale and complexity of the risks inherent in its business. The remuneration system meets the relevant company and supervisory law requirements, and is in line with our business and risk management strategy. Persons who run the undertaking or perform other key tasks, including the key functions under Solvency II, have the professional qualifications, knowledge and experience to perform the relevant tasks and have the requisite fitness for office. The risk management system, including the own risk and solvency assessment (ORSA), is closely integrated into Group-wide planning, risk strategy and decision-making processes. Processes that are subject to material risks are reviewed on a regular basis as part of the internal control system. The outsourcing of operational activities and functions is monitored.

15-34

C - Risk profileWe use an internal model to quantify the solvency capital requirements (SCR) of the Munich Re Group. At Group level, the SCR increased to €20.5bn, compared with the previous year's €19.2bn. The increase was mainly attributable to further business growth in property-casualty reinsurance, and was reinforced by the appreciation of the US dollar. The market risk was up owing to a moderately higher equity-backing ratio and currency translation effects. The credit risk sank as a consequence of the rise in interest rates. We use appropriate limit and early-warning systems to manage risks and limit risk concentrations. Risk is mitigated by means of reinsurance and retrocession, and through the transfer of risk to the capital markets.

35-49

D - Valuation for solvency purposesWe describe material differences in measurement between the solvency balance sheet and IFRS financial reporting for individual balance sheet items under assets, technical provisions and other liabilities, and explain the underlying methods and main assumptions in detail. These differences in measurement are mainly attributable to the fact that the solvency balance sheet is fully based on fair value, whilst IFRS uses a mixed measurement model based on fair value and amortised cost accounting. Three life primary insurance undertakings apply a transitional deduction on technical provisions, and six primary insurance undertakings apply the volatility adjustment.

50-76

E - Capital managementWe pursue active capital management, which ensures that our capitalisation is needs-based and risk-commensurate. Our total eligible own funds (EOF) were €52.2bn as at 31 December 2021. This figure takes into account the dividend of €1.5bn proposed by the Board of Management for the 2021 financial year. Munich Re's solvency capital requirement (SCR) totalling €20.5bn is equivalent to a solvency ratio of 254%. The solvency ratio shown includes transitional measures under Solvency II. Excluding transitional measures, the solvency ratio would have been 227%.
