ANNEX IIU.K. Instructions regarding the templates for the solvency and condition report of individual undertakings

S.19.01. — Non–life insurance claims U.K.

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

Claims development triangles show the insurer's estimate of the cost of claims (claims paid and claims provisions under Solvency II valuation principle) and how this estimate develops over time.

Undertakings are required to disclose data on an accident year or underwriting year basis, in accordance with any requirements of the National Supervisory Authority. If the National Supervisory Authority has not stipulated which to use then the undertaking may use accident or underwriting year according to how they manage each line of business, provided that they use the same year consistently, year on year.

This template shall be disclosed for the total for non–life business but split by underwriting year and accident year if different bases are used by the undertaking.

The default length of run–off triangle is 10+1 years but the disclosure requirement is based on the undertakings' claims development (if length of the claims settlement cycle is shorter than 10 years, undertakings are required to disclose according to the internal shorter development).

Historical data, starting from the first time application of Solvency II, are required for claims paid (i.e. the complete set shall be disclosed,) but not for Best Estimate of Claims Provision. For the compilation of the historical data for claims paid the same approach concerning the length of triangle for the on–going disclosure will be applied (i.e. the shorter between 10+1 years and the undertakings' claims settlement cycle).
