We do not need a lot of regulation but relevant one Transparency is not the art of producing telephone books full of information, but rather concise and relevant information for transparency It is key that the new regulation is developed in coordinated efforts between regulators and industry. Only by this Regulation becomes relevant and applicable Is accepted by all parties Can enhance the value creation of the sector
Under Solvency II firms can choose using the standard formula approach or building an there own internal model Advantages of internal models vs. Standards formula: Improved management and understanding of the business and its capital requirements. Improve the risk management, governance and strategic decision making of the company and therefore in a more efficient use of the companys capital. Improved quality of documentation and use in the Own Risk Solvency Assessment (ORSA) Disadvantages: Costly to develop (time, actuarial resources and software) Stringent regulatory review and compliance Onerous data and documentation requirements.

The implementation of Solvency II is likely to involve the development of new internal models or the enhancement of existing ones in order to carry out the measurement, management, and mitigation of their risks.

Solvency II Requirements
Internal Model Approval Criteria
The internal model approval process requires firms to demonstrate compliance with the tests outlined in the Framework Directive.
Art. 119 Statistical quality standards Art. 118 Use test Art. 122 Validation standards Art. 44
O R S A
The purpose of the use test is to ensure that the internal model, its methodologies and results are fully embedded into the risk strategy and operational processes of the firm. The firm should demonstrate that the internal model is widely used within the business, and plays an important role in the system of governance, in particular: The risk management systems and decision making processes The economic and solvency capital requirement and allocation processes The model also needs to be updated regularly to ensure that it remains appropriate to ongoing risk profile.

Solvency II Requirements
Documentation of internal model and risk management processes
Solvency II relevant texts Art 123: The documentation shall indicate any circumstances under which the internal model does not work effectively Art 123: The documentation shall demonstrate compliance with Article 118 to 122 Art 123: Insurance and reinsurance undertakings shall document all major changes to their internal model as set out in Article 113. Art 123: The documentation shall provide a detailed outline of the theory, assumptions, and mathematical and empirical basis underlying the internal model Art 123: Applying proportionality
Documentation should increase with the complexity of the internal model, we could imagine for example: Minimum common standards A Second level of standards A Third level of standards

Design of an Internal Model that can be used in dayto-day business: Key features to be taken into account
KEY FEATURES Frequency of calculations COMMENTS Need to define the required frequency of the reporting and calculation in order to support the decision making process Sufficiently fast model to accommodate and facilitate internal management use Design a good estimation model that produces credible results in between reporting periods Dependencies: Closing processes should be adapted to the above required frequency IT systems should allow for information to be adequately aggregated, reported and analysed Appropriateness of calibrations Use of internal model in decision making The model should allow for different calibrations to be used in decision making (1 in 10, 1 in 50, 1 in 200) Correlations should be adjusted to each calibration The model should be used for decision making on a number of areas: Reinsurance, underwriting, investment management, management information, strategy/planning, corporate finance and finance function Demonstrate integration between capital measurement systems and capital management Board /Senior management implication

The use test requires the insurer to demonstrate that there is sufficient discipline in its internal model development and application such that it is widely used in and plays an important role in the management of the firm. In the survey most insurers admitted they have significant work to do before they will be able to use economic capital (EC) in performance management and decision making. However most highlighted that this was their key priority. Use of EC for decision making: 44% of respondents indicated they were already using their EC results for capital management, 36% for asset strategy and 28% for product design and pricing
