S.08.01 — Open derivatives

General comments:

This section relates to quarterly and annual submission of information for individual entities.

The derivatives categories referred to in this template are the ones defined in Annex IV — Assets Categories of this Regulation and references to CIC codes refer to Annex VI — CIC table of this Regulation. This template contains an item–by–item list of derivatives held directly by the undertaking (i.e. not on a look–through basis), classifiable as asset categories A to F.

This template covers derivatives traded on a stock exchange or equivalent centralised market, as well as derivatives traded over-the-counter.

When a derivative is traded on a stock exchange or equivalent centralised market, the counterparty is that a stock exchange or equivalent centralised market and not the endcounterparty, as is the case for derivatives traded over-the-counter.

Derivatives are considered assets if their Solvency II value is positive or zero. They are considered liabilities if their Solvency II value is negative. Both derivatives considered as assets or considered as liabilities shall be included.

Information shall include all derivatives contracts that existed during the reporting period and were not closed prior to the reporting reference date.

If there are frequent trades on the same derivative, resulting in multiple open positions, the derivative can be reported on an aggregated or net basis, as long as all the relevant characteristics are common and following the specific instruction for each relevant item.

Items shall be reported with positive values unless otherwise stated in the respective instructions.

A derivative is a financial instrument or other contract with all three of the following characteristics:

  • a) Its value changes in response to the change in a specified interest rate, financial instrument price, commodity price, foreign exchange rate, index of prices or rates, credit rating or credit index, or other variable, provided in the case of a non–financial variable that the variable is not specific to a party to the contract (sometimes called the ‘underlying’).
  • b) It requires no initial net investment or an initial net investment that is smaller than would be required for other types of contracts that would be expected to have a similar response to changes in market factors.
  • c) It is settled at a future date.

This template comprises two tables: Information on positions held and Information on derivatives.

On the table Information on positions held, each derivative shall be reported separately in as many rows as needed in order to properly fill in all non-monetary variables, requested in that table. If for the same derivative two values can be attributed to one variable, then this derivative needs to be reported in more than one line.

In particular, for derivatives that have more than a pair of currencies, it shall be split into the pair components and reported in different rows.

On the table Information on derivative, each derivative shall be reported separately, with one row for each derivative, filling in all variables requested in that table.

The information regarding the External rating (C0290) and Nominated ECAI (C0300) may be limited (not reported) in the following circumstances:

  • a) through a decision of the national supervisory authority under Article 35 (6) and (7) of Directive 2009/138/EC; or
  • b) through a decision of the national supervisory authority in the cases where the insurance and reinsurance undertakings have in place outsourcing arrangements in the area of investments that lead to this specific information not being available directly to the undertaking.

C0110 Use
of
derivative
Describe the use of the derivative (micro/macro hedge,
efficient portfolio management).
Micro hedge refers to derivatives covering a single
financial instrument (asset or liability), forecasted
transaction or other liability.
Macro hedge refers to derivatives covering a set of
financial instruments (assets or liabilities), forecasted
transactions or other liabilities.
Efficient portfolio management refers usually to operations
where the manager wishes to improve a portfolio’ income
by exchanging a (lower) cash–flow pattern by another with
a higher value, using a derivative or set of derivatives,
without changing the asset’ portfolio composition, having a
lower investment amount and less transaction costs.
One of the options in the following closed list shall be
used:
1 —
Micro hedge
2 —
Macro hedge
3 —
Matching assets and liabilities cash–flows used in the
context of matching adjustment portfolios

C0131 Notional
amount of the
The amount covered or exposed to the derivative, reported
in the original currency.
derivative For futures and options corresponds to contract size
multiplied by the trigger value and by the number of
contracts reported in that line. For swaps and forwards it
corresponds to the contract amount of the contracts
reported in that line. When the trigger value corresponds to
a range, the average value of the range
shall be used.
The notional amount refers to the amount that is being
hedged/invested (when not covering risks). If several
trades occur, it shall be the net amount at the reporting
date.
C0140 Buyer/Seller Only for futures and options, swaps and credit derivatives
contracts.
Identify whether the derivative contract was bought or
sold.
The buyer and seller position for swaps is defined
relatively to the security or notional amount and the swap
flows.
A seller of a swap owns the security or notional amount
at
the contract inception and agrees to deliver during the
contract term that security or notional amount, including
any other outflows related to the contract, when applicable.
A buyer of a swap will own the security or the notional
amount at the end of the derivatives contact and will
receive during the contract term that security or notional
amount, including any other inflows related to the contract,
when applicable.
One of the options in the following closed list shall be
used, with the exception of Interest Rate Swaps:
1 —
Buyer

contracts
Number of similar derivative contracts reported in the line.
It shall be the number of contracts entered into. For Over–
The–Counter derivatives, e.g., one swap contract, ‘1’ shall
be reported, if ten swaps with the same characteristics, ‘10’
shall be reported.
The number of contracts can be non-integer, when there
is
a need to split contracts.
The number of contracts shall be the ones outstanding at
the reporting date.
C0180 Contract size Number of underlying assets in the contract (e.g. for equity
futures it is the number of equities to be delivered per
derivative contract at maturity, for bond futures it is the
reference amount underlying each contract).
The way the contract size is defined varies according with
the type of instrument. For futures on equities it is common
to find the contract size defined as a function of the number
of shares underlying the contract.
For futures on bonds, it is the bond nominal amount
underlying the contract.
Only applicable for futures and options.
C0190 Maximum loss
under
unwinding
event
Maximum amount of loss if an unwinding event occurs.

only the one regarding the first trade date of the derivative
and only one row for each derivative (no different rows for
each trade) reflecting the total amount invested in that
derivative considering the different dates of trade.
In case of novation, the novation date becomes the trade
date for that derivative.

duration, for derivatives for which a
duration measure is
applicable.
Calculated as the net duration between in and out flows
from the derivative, when applicable.
