Under the Solvency II directive, insurance companies are required to calculate their Solvency Capital Requirement (SCR) in order to prove to supervisors, policyholders and beneficiaries that they have a high enough level of funds to absorb significant losses and to make payments as they fall due. They have a choice between a standard formula and an internal model in calculating their SCR.
Many companies favour internal models as they are more risk-sensitive, capture individual risk profiles and therefore reduce the capital requirements placed on insurance companies by Solvency II. However, internal models are subject to approval by supervisory bodies. Insurance companies need to demonstrate that their internal model meets the use test, statistical quality standards, calibration standards, validation standards and documentation standards.
Internal Models and Solvency II is the first authoritative reference book on Solvency II internal models for practitioners and regulators, providing practical insight into these models and their frameworks.
“Each chapter has been written by experts in the topic, individuals with hands-on experience of designing, validating, reviewing and using models. They share their experience here, and bring alive the requirements of Solvency II through practical insight.”
From the foreword by Gabriel Bernardino, Chairman, European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority (EIOPA)
