S.26.09 – Internal model: Market and Credit risk – for financial instruments

General comments:

This section relates to annual submission of information for individual entities.

This template shall be reported based on availability according to the internal model architecture and risk profile when possible with reasonable effort. The data to be reported shall be agreed between national supervisory authorities and insurance and reinsurance undertakings.

If not indicated differently, “Solvency II values” shall be used, i.e. applying the valuation principles set out in the Directive2009/138/EC, Delegated Regulation (EU) 2015/35, Technical Standards issued under Directive 2009/138/EC and EIOPA Guidelines.

This template covers the market and credit risk arising from the level or volatility of market prices of financial instruments, which have an impact upon the value of assets and liabilities of the undertaking or the group. Credit risk covers the usual three facets ‘spread’, ‘migration’ and ‘default’.

The figures shall include the impact on assets and liabilities including any impacts on the options and guarantees and on future discretionary benefits for policyholders (’loss absorbing capacity of technical provisions’).

The figures shall not include the loss absorbing capacity of deferred taxes.

The template consists of three main building blocks:

1. ‘General information’ on few key aspects of the modelling approach
1. ‘Stand-alone capital requirements for market and credit risk and supplementing distribution data’
1. ‘Sensitivities and exposure data’

S.26.09.01.01: General information

Regarding market and credit risk models three facts on the modelling approach and scope are requested here, as these are important for the analysis of data, namely: Whether the model includes a ‘dynamic volatility adjustment’ (DVA) and whether the model includes ‘ageing effects’ and if non-financial instruments are covered in credit risk. For further details see below.

S.26.09.01.02: Stand-alone capital requirements for market and credit risk and supplementing distribution data

Based on the requirements of Article 228 of the Delegated Regulation (EU) 2015/35, the probability distribution forecast underlying the internal model shall assign probabilities to changes in either the amount of basic own funds of the insurance or reinsurance undertaking or to other monetary amounts, such as profit and loss, provided that those monetary amounts can be used to determine the changes in basic own funds. The exhaustive set of mutually exclusive future events, referred to in Article 13(38) of Directive 2009/138/EC, shall contain a sufficient number of events to reflect the risk profile of the undertaking.

In template S.26.09.01.02, internal model users are requested to provide certain basic statistical values from the distribution of own funds impacts associated with the ‘probability distribution forecast’ when restricting the events to those associated with a certain type of risk only (‘standalone risk’ or ‘marginal risk’). For example, the ‘marginal risk’ for interest rates would

especially cover changes in the level of the interest rate, but inter alia the value of equity would typically not be changed in the simulations.

S.26.09.01.02 covers the typical sub-risks of market and credit risk and requires figures in two subsets:

I. ‘SCR’ like figures under variation of the allowance for ’long-term guarantee measures’ similar to the template S.22.01:

These figures should be associated with the 99.5% VaR under the risk measure used for the calculation of the Solvency Capital Requirement (SCR). Broadly speaking, you are expected to apply your modelled ‘SCR definition’ to the basic own funds without eligibility restrictions and without the loss absorbing capacity of deferred taxes. Hence requested figure might differ from the 0.5% sample quantile on the simulated impacts (with negative sign), owing to the statistical estimator for the 0.5 percentile (e.g. including any interpolation or smoothing scheme).

For the purpose of these reporting requirements this value is called the ‘modelled VaR’ (mVaR) for the 99.50% of basic own funds.

This ‘mVaR 99.50%’ is requested for the following variations of the ’long-term guarantee measures’ (LTGM):

o mVaR 99.50% including all LTGM you regularly apply
o mVaR 99.50% without transitional on technical provisions
o mVaR 99.50% without transitional on interest rates
o mVaR 99.50% without volatility adjustment (VA) and without transitionals
o mVaR 99.50% without matching adjustment (MA) and without all the other LTGMs
II. Basic statistical data form the ‘marginal distribution’

From the distribution for the marginal risk under consideration provide the impacts associated with the following data. These values should be directly taken from the distribution, i.e. in case the mVaR would be different from the 99.50% quantile, please provide the figures without allowing for features from your statistical estimator:

o Mean
o Standard deviation
o Impacts corresponding to the mVaR for the identified quantiles

S.26.09.01.03: Sensitivities and exposure data

In template S.26.09.01.03, data is requested which should support the analysis of results and risk profile, namely ‘sensitivities’ of the own funds and ’exposure’ information with respect to market and credit risk for financial instruments.

S.26.09.01.03 for each of the sub-risks covered by S.26.09.01.02 asks for exposure data in the base case and under certain stressed scenarios. Exposure data is the Solvency II value of the

following items but only for those entries under these items, which are subject to the respective risk:

Assets
Liabilities
Assets minus Liabilities
Assets excl. Unit-linked
Liabilities excl. Unit-linked
Assets excl. Unit-linked minus Liabilities excl. Unit-linked

CODE	ITEM	INSTRUCTIONS
	General information
C0010/R0010	Type of VA used	Identifies whether the undertaking applies a Volatility Adjustment (VA) in the calculation of the SCR, and in case of ‘yes’, identifies whether changes of the VA over the 1-year-time-horizon of Solvency II are anticipated (‘dynamic VA’) or not (‘constant VA’). One of the options in the following closed list shall be used: 1 – No VA 2 – Constant VA 3 – Dynamic VA
C0010/R0020	Type of shock model for market risk	For market and credit risk, internal models regarding the 1-year-time-horizon of Solvency II roughly follow two approaches. Instantaneous shock models or a projection over 1 year, at the end of which e.g. a bond with two years maturity at the beginning of the projection would have a maturity of one year. The undertaking is asked to answer the question for ‘market risk’.
		One of the options in the following closed list shall be used: 1 – Instantaneous shock model 2 – Projection model
C0010/R0030	Type of shock model for credit risk	For market & credit risk, internal models regarding the 1-year-time-horizon of Solvency II roughly follow two approaches. Instantaneous shock models or a projection over 1 year, at the end of which e.g. a bond with two years maturity at the beginning of the projection would have a maturity of one year. The answer should be given for ‘credit risk’.

		One of the options in the following closed list shall be used: 1 – Instantaneous shock model 2 – Projection model
C0010/R0040	Coverage of non financial instruments	Identifies whether credit risk for non-financial instruments is covered in the tables 2 and 3 and to which extent. One of the options in the following closed list shall be used:
		1 – No
		2 – Fully
		3 – Partial
		The choice relates mainly to the approach of modelling ‘credit event’ risk, i.e. ‘migration’ and ‘default’. Especially so called ‘credit portfolio models’ cover not only investments but for example also reinsurance, receivables and also off-balance sheet items.
		The corresponding information is relevant for the interpretation of credit risk related line R12 to R17 in table 2 (‘marginal risks’) and for table 3 (‘combined risks’).
