S.26.08 – Solvency Capital Requirement - for groups using an internal model (partial or full)

General comments:

This section relates to the annual submission of information for groups, ring fenced-funds, matching adjustment portfolios and remaining part.

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 groups.

The purpose of this template is to collect data on an aggregate level and show diversification benefits between separate risk modules. Some entries are taken from other templates but are indicated below. From a technical perspective these are not duplicated as they are essentially the same datapoints. Therefore, by filling data in one template it automatically appears in the other one.

Partial internal models:

All rows for C0010 refer to the amount of the capital charge for each component regardless of the method of calculation (either standard formula or partial internal model), after the adjustments for loss-absorbing capacity of technical provision and/or deferred taxes when they are embedded in the component calculation.

For the components Loss absorbing capacity of technical provisions and/or deferred taxes when reported as a separate component it should be the amount of the loss-absorbing capacity (these amounts should be reported as negative values)

For components calculated using the standard formula this cell represents the gross nSCR. For components calculated using the partial internal model, this represents the value considering the future management actions with are embedded in the calculation, but not whose which are modelled as a separate component.

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

When 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.

Template SR.26.08 shall be reported by ring-fenced fund, matching adjustment portfolio and the remaining part for every undertaking under an internal model. For partial internal models, this includes undertakings where a partial internal model is applied to a full ring-fenced fund and/or matching adjustment portfolio while the other ring-fenced funds and/or matching adjustment portfolios are under the standard formula. This template should be reported for all sub-funds of a material RFF/MAP as identified in the second table of S.01.03.

The template is applicable in relation to RFF/MAP from undertakings consolidated according to Article 335, paragraph 1, (a) and (c) of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2015/35, when method 1 (Accounting consolidation–based method) is used, either exclusively or in combination with method 2 (Deduction and aggregation method).

For those undertakings under a partial internal model to which the adjustment due to the aggregation of the nSCR of RFF/MAP is applicable, 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 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 RFF 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 and LAC are calculated considering a direct summation at sub-module level method,
• Where the undertaking applies the Simplification at risk module level to aggregate the nSCR of the RFF/MAP at entity level the nSCR and LAC are calculated considering a direct summation at module level method.

The adjustment due to the aggregation of the nSCR of the RFF/MAP at entity level shall be allocated (C0060) to the relevant risk modules (i.e. market risk, counterparty default risk, life underwriting risk, health underwriting risk and non-life underwriting risk) when calculated according to the standard formula. The amount to be allocated to each relevant risk module shall be calculated as follows:

• Calculation of “q factor” = ′ − , where
  • o = Adjustment calculated according to one of the three methods referred above
  • o ′ = Basic solvency capital requirement calculated according to the information reported in this template
  • o = nSCR for intangible assets risk according to the information reported in this template
• 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)

Full internal models:

Template SR.26.08 has to be filled in for each ring-fenced fund (RFF), each matching adjustment portfolio (MAP) and for the remaining part for every undertaking under a full internal model. However, where an RFF/MAP includes a MAP/RFF embedded, the fund should be treated as different funds. This template should be reported for all sub-funds of a material RFF/MAP as identified in the second table of S.01.03.
