S.21.02 — Underwriting risks non–life

General comments:

This section relates to annual submission of information for individual undertakings.

Template shall be filled in relation to non–life business (including Non–SLT Health) only for direct business.

In this template the 20 biggest single underwriting risks, based on net retention, across all lines of business, as defined in Annex I to Delegated Regulation (EU) 2015/35, shall be reported. If the 2 biggest single underwriting risks for any of the lines of business, as defined in Annex I to Delegated Regulation (EU) 2015/35 are not covered through the above methodology, then they shall be reported in addition. In case a single underwriting risk of a specific line of business forms part of the top 20, the same risk of the affected line of business must only be filled in once.

Net retention of the single underwriting risk means the maximum possible liability of the undertaking after the recoverables from reinsurers (including SPV and Finite Reinsurance) and the original deductible of the policyholder has been taken into account. In case the net retention is equal for too many risks the policy with the highest Sum insured shall be used as a second criteria. In case the Sum insured is also the same and the most appropriate risk considering the risk profile of the undertaking must be used as the ultimate criteria.

C0090 Sum insured The highest amount that the insurer can be obliged to pay out
under the policy. The insured sum relates to the underwriting risk.
Where the policy covers a number of exposures/risks across the
country the individual underwriting risk with the highest net
retention shall be specified. If the risk has been accepted on a co–

included as well.
C0100 Original
deductible
policyholder
Part of the sum insured which is retained by the policyholder.
C0110 Type of
underwriting
model
Type of underwriting model which is used to estimate the
exposure of the underwriting risk and the need for reinsurance
protection. One of the options in the following closed list shall be
used:
1 —
Sum Insured:
the highest amount that the insurer can be obliged to pay out
according to the original policy. Sum insured must also be filled
when type of underwriting model is not applicable
2 —
Maximum Possible Loss:
loss which may occur when the most unfavourable circumstances
being more or less exceptionally combined, the fire is only
stopped by impassable obstacles or lack of substance.
3 —
Probable Maximum Loss:
defined as the estimate of the largest loss from a single fire or
peril to be expected, assuming the worst single impairment of
primary private fire protection systems but with secondary
protection systems or organizations (such as emergency
organizations and private and/or
public fire department response)
functioning as intended. Catastrophic conditions like explosions
resulting from massive release of flammable gases, which might
involve large areas of the plant, detonation of massive explosives,
seismic disturbances, tidal waves or flood, falling aircraft, and
arson committed in more than one area are excluded in this
estimate. This definition is a hybrid form between Maximum
Possible Loss and Estimated Maximum Loss that is generally
accepted and frequently used by insurers, reinsurers and
reinsurance brokers
4 —
Estimated Maximum Loss:
loss that could reasonably be sustained from the contingencies
under consideration, as a result of a single incident considered to
be within the realms of probability taking into account all
factors
likely to increase or lessen the extent of the loss, but excluding
such coincidences and catastrophes which may be possible but
remain unlikely.
5 —
Other:
defined as other possible underwriting models used. The type of
‘other’ underwriting model applied must be explained in the
Regular Supervisory Report
Although abovementioned definitions are used for the line of

reinsurers
reinsurers. When the facultative cover is not placed for 100 % but
only for 80 % the 20 % not placed shall be considered as
retention.
C0140 Sum reinsured,
other than on
facultative
basis, with all
reinsurers
Part of the sum insured that the insurer has reinsured through
traditional reinsurance treaties or another basis (including SPV
and Finite Reinsurance) other than facultative reinsurance.
C0150 Net retention
