Monthly update of the symmetric adjustment of the equity capital charge for Solvency II – end-February 2020. One can see for example, Marrison [11] . Van Beers and Elshof [12] study the simplifications assumed in the standard formula with regards to interest rate risk for the evaluation of the SCR. Their interest is in whether the Solvency II standard formula provides a good measure for the interest rate risk an insurer is facing. The market risk under Solvency II The market risk module includes the following sub-modules: interest rate, equity, property, spread, currency concentration and illiquidity risk, distributed as follows: The QIS5 exercise shows the following results as at 31 December 2009: Solvency II highlights the importance of the market risk; the SCR is very The Solvency II standard formula measures interest rate risk based on t wo scenarios which describe a potential downw ard or upward shift of the yield curv e.

Solvency II therefore uses swap rates when determining a risk-free interest rate. Does this cause any issues? Many insurers hold government bonds as their 'risk-free' asset, but the yields on certain Eurozone government bonds (e.g. Italy and Spain) are not moving in line with Euro swap rates, meaning that assets and liabilities move by different amounts, placing a strain on solvency. Management of interest rate risks in a Solvency II environment is still evolving as companies become more familiar with the implications and sensitivities of the Solvency II capital structure. the risk-free interest rate term structure that includes a 100% illiquidity premium by assessing that they meet all of the following criteria: 1. the benefits of the contracts are retirement benefits in the form of annuities, and the only underwriting risk connected to the contracts are longevity risk and expense risk 1 January 2019. If interest rates remain at their current levels for some time, then we could expect further decreases in the UFR over the coming years. For example, the UFR is likely to reduce to 3.75% in 2020 and 3.6% in 2021. These reductions in the UFR will have a material impact on the Solvency II balance sheets and However, following criticism from across the political spectrum in the European Parliament, the European Commission has announced that, contrary to EIOPA’s recommendation, it will not review interest rate risk until its comprehensive Solvency II review in 2020. These paths should be risk-neutral, meaning that interest rate models is impor-tant to consider in the Solvency II framework. In this thesis we have studied three di erent interest rate models, namely; the Hull-White extended Vasicek model, the CIR++ model and the G2++ model. We calibrated our interest rate models to the same historical data and gener- • Interest rate risk • Equity risk • Property risk • Credit spread risk • Currency risk • Concentration risk. – Credit risk – Operational risk. • Except for unit‐linked business, Op risk capital charge can’t exceed 30% of the sum of the rest of the SCR.
