S.30.01 — Facultative covers for non–life and life business basic data

General comments:

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

This template is relevant to insurance and reinsurance undertakings which reinsure and/or retrocede business on a facultative basis.

It shall be filled by the non–life and life insurance and reinsurance undertakings with information on facultative covers in the next reporting year, covering information on the 20 largest facultative reinsurance exposures (part of sum insured transferred to all reinsurers) overall plus the largest two in each line of business if not covered by the 20 largest. Each facultative risk is submitted to the reinsurer and terms and conditions of the facultative reinsurance are negotiated individually for each policy. Treaties that automatically cover risks are out of scope of this template and must be reported in S.30.03.

Each underwriting risk shall have a unique code specified by the ‘risk identification code’.

This template is prospective (to be in line with S.30.03) and as such shall reflect the reinsurance treaties effective and valid during the next reporting year for the overall 20 largest facultative reinsurance exposures plus the largest two in each line of business if not covered by the 20 largest Undertakings shall report the most important risks of the next reporting period which are covered by reinsurance treaties valid during the next reporting period. If reinsurance strategy changes materially after the validity date or if the renovation of the reinsurance contracts are performed later than the reporting date and before next 1 January, the information on this template shall be re–submitted when adequate.

Facultative placements covering different lines of business shall also appear in the various relevant line of business if they are ranked within the 20 largest facultative reinsurance exposures plus the largest two in each line of business if not covered by the 20 largest biggest risks of the same line of business.

This template should only be reported if the reinsurance recoverables are higher than 10% of the Best Estimate calculated separately for life and non-life business.

ITEM INSTRUCTIONS
Facultative covers non–life
C0020 Reinsurance
program code
Undertaking specific reinsurance code that links the
dominant treaty of reinsurance programme which also
protects the risk covered by the facultative reinsurance. The
Reinsurance program code shall be in line with the
Reinsurance program code of S.30.03 —
Outgoing
Reinsurance Program in the next reporting year.
C0030 Risk
identification
code
For each line of business, as defined in Annex I to Delegated
Regulation (EU) 2015/35, of non–life insurance a selection
shall be made of the 20 largest facultative reinsurance
exposures (part of sum insured transferred to all reinsurers)
overall plus the largest two in each line of business if not
covered by the 20 largest that are subject to facultative
reinsurance in force in the next reporting period (also if they
originated in preceding years). The code is a unique
identifying number assigned by the insurer that identifies the
risk and shall remain unchanged for subsequent annual
reports.

does not exist anymore.
When one risk affects more than one line of business the
same code can be used for all the lines of business affected.

C0070 Identification
of the
If the risk relates to a company identify the name of the
company to whom the risk relates.
company/perso
n to which the
risk relates
If the risk relates to a natural person, pseudonymise the
original policy number and report pseudonymised
information. Pseudonymous data refer to data that cannot be
attributed to a specific individual without the use of
additional information, as long as such additional
information is kept separately. Consistency over time shall
be insured. It implies that if a single underwriting risk
appears from one year to another, it shall receive the same
pseudonymised format.
C0080 Description risk The description of the risk. Depending on the line of
business, as defined in Annex I to Delegated Regulation
(EU) 2015/35, report the type of company, building or
occupation of the specific risk insured.
C0090 Description risk
category
covered
Description of
the main scope of the cover of the facultative
risk. It is normally part of the description used to identify the
placement.
The description of the risk category covered is entity specific
and is not mandatory. Also the term ‘risk category’ is not
based on
Directive 2008/138/EC or Delegated Regulation
(EU) 2015/35/EC terminologies but can be considered as an
extra possibility the give additional information about the
underwriting risk(s).
C0100 Validity period
(start date)
Identify the ISO 8601 (yyyy–mm–dd) code of the date of
commencement of the specific cover, i.e., date when the
cover took effect.
C0110 Validity period
(expiry date)
Identify the ISO 8601 (yyyy–mm–dd) code of the final
expiry date of the specific cover.
In case the cover conditions remain unchanged when filling
in the template and the undertaking is not making use of the
termination clause, the expiry date will be the next possible
expiry date.
C0120 Currency Identify the ISO 4217 alphabetic code of the currency used
while placing the facultative cover. All the amounts must be
expressed in this currency for the specific facultative cover,
unless otherwise required by the national supervisory
authority. In case the facultative cover is placed in two
different currencies, then the main currency must be filled.
C0130 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 facultative cover provides for a number of
exposures/risks across the country the aggregate policy limits
shall be specified. If the risk has been accepted on a co–
insurance basis, the insured sum indicates the maximum
liability of the reporting non–life insurer.
In the case of unlimited sum insured, the ‘Sum insured’ shall
be an estimation of the expected possible loss (calculated
using the same methods as used for the calculation of the
premium, which shall reflect the actual risk exposure).
C0140 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. SI 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

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 business, as defined in Annex I to Delegated Regulation (EU) 2015/35 ‘Fire and other damage to property insurance’, similar definitions might be in place for other lines of business.

C0150 Amount
underwriting
model
Maximum loss amount of the underwriting risk which is the
result of the underwriting model used.
C0160 Sum reinsured
on a facultative
basis, with all
reinsurers

the largest two in each line of business if not covered by the
20 largest in terms of exposure that are subject to facultative
reinsurance in force in the reporting period (also if they
originated in preceding years). The code is a unique
identifying number assigned by the insurer that identifies the
risk within the branch, and this code cannot be reused for
other risks in the same branch and shall remain unchanged
for subsequent annual reports.
This code once assigned shall not be reused for another risk
even when the risk to which the code was originally assigned
