I enjoy reading anything that looks at post-Solvency II implementation, as well as anything which touches on the reinsurance potential on the capital requirements front, so this was right up my street. I particularly liked;
- Their process for optimising insurance risk and asset strategy in tandem (rather than the two, being the preserve of the actuarial and investment functions respectively, being operated in isolation)
- Articulation of "risk appetite" as a percentage of own funds surplus volatility above and beyond SCR (interesting way to communicate it)
- Table on capital changes for market risk and implications for insurers by sub-module - easy to digest
- Good sections on Catastrophe risk (if that is your cup of tea!)
- Ratings agency drivers, which stress the importance of transitional measures (for orderly transitions to preferred Tier 1 capital vehicles), the likelihood of ORSA-related criteria on future solvency sliding into their assessments.
