Report Highlights
-The capital requirement to cover insurance liabilities has increased substantially under the risk-based capital regime of Solvency II. Most of the increase in solvency capital requirement is due to market risk. It alerted insurers to rethink their business models, particularly small insurers, monoline insurers and annuity providers.
-Solvency II has extensive data requirements for insurers and reinsurers to meet the objectives of all three pillars: capital adequacy, supervision and disclosure. A vast amount of data needs to be processed, filtered and presented in a particular format when calculating solvency capital requirements. The documentation of the disclosure process, using SFCR, RFR and QRTs, is also proving to be cumbersome.
-The impact of Solvency II will not only be limited to the EU, but also have a global reach. Insurers headquartered in the EU and with a global presence will have to either comply with the Solvency II provisions or adopt them. Responsibility lies with insurance regulator of the third country to transpose delegated acts into their regulated regime.
-Solvency II challenges the ability of an insurer to construe an investment strategy which can optimize the rate of return on investments. Capital charges can act as a defining factor in insurers' investment operations. Assets such as equities, real estate, structured products and corporate bonds, which are perceived to be riskier, will attract higher capital charges.
