S.25.01 — Solvency Capital Requirement — for undertakings on Standard Formula U.K.

General comments:

This section relates to opening and annual submission of information for individual entities, ring fenced–funds, matching adjustment portfolios and remaining part.

Template SR.25.01 has to be filled in for each ring–fenced fund (RFF), each matching adjustment portfolio (MAP) and for the remaining part. However, where a RFF/MAP includes a MAP/RFF embedded, the fund should be treated as different funds. This template shall be reported for all sub–funds of a material RFF/MAP as identified in the second table of template S.01.03.

Where the entity has MAP or RFF (except those under the scope of Article 304 of Directive 2009/138/EC) when reporting at the level of the whole undertaking, the notional Solvency Capital Requirement (‘nSCR’) at risk module level and the loss–absorbing capacity (LAC) of technical provisions and deferred taxes to be reported shall be calculated as follows:

  • Where the undertaking applies the full adjustment due to the aggregation of the nSCR of the RFF/MAP at entity level the nSCR is calculated as if no loss of diversification exists and the LAC shall be calculated as the sum of the LAC across all RFF/MAP and remaining part;

  • Where the undertaking applies the Simplification at risk sub–module level to aggregate the nSCR of the RFF/MAP at entity level the nSCR is calculated considering a direct summation at sub–module level method and the LAC shall be calculated as the sum of the LAC across all RFF/MAP and remaining part,

  • Where the undertaking applies the simplification at risk module level to aggregate the nSCR of the RFF/MAP at entity level the nSCR is calculated considering a direct summation at module level method and the LAC shall be calculated as the sum of the LAC across all RFF/MAP and remaining part.

The adjustment due to the aggregation of the nSCR of the RFF/MAP at entity level shall be allocated (C0050) to the relevant risk modules (i.e. market risk, counterparty default risk, life underwriting risk, health underwriting risk and non–life underwriting risk). The amount to be allocated to each relevant risk module shall be calculated as follows:

  • [F1 , where

    adjustment

    =

    Adjustment calculated according to one of the three methods referred above

    BSCR′

    =

    Basic solvency capital requirement calculated according to the information reported in this template (C0040/R0100)

    nSCR int

    =

    nSCR for intangible assets risk according to the information reported in this template (C0040/R0070)]

  • Multiplication of this ‘q factor’ by the nSCR of each relevant risk module (i.e. market risk, counterparty default risk, life underwriting risk, health underwriting risk and non–life underwriting risk)

ITEMINSTRUCTIONS
Z0010Article 112

[F2When item Z0020 = 2, then report 0]

R0010–R0050/C0030Net solvency capital requirement

Amount of the net capital charge for each risk module, as calculated using the standard formula.

The difference between the net and the gross SCR is the consideration of the future discretionary benefits according to Article 205 of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2015/35.

This amount shall fully consider diversification effects according to Article 304 of Directive 2009/138/EC where applicable.

These cells do not include the allocation of the adjustment due to the aggregation of the nSCR of the RFF/MAP at entity level. These figures represent the SCR as if there was no loss of diversification.

R0070/C0040Gross solvency capital requirement Intangible assets riskThe future discretionary benefits according to Article 205 of the Delegated Regulation (EU) 2015/35 for intangible assets risk is zero under standard formula, hence R0070/C0040 equals R0070/C0030.
