Bridging the Gap Between Risk Appetite And Required Capital Structure

May 26, 2011 - PRLog -- Solvency II will bring a common, risk-based approach to capital setting, supervision and disclosure to the whole of Europe.

The European Union’s Solvency II regulations covering insurance industry is now approaching. For a long while there has been a great amount of discussion about how the new regulations will be put in practice to captive insurance companies. Even though the new rules are still in the consultation phase insurance companies should be preparing capital adequacy now. This new mandate will radically change how firms allocate, calculate and manage capital.

Solvency II is expected to be implemented in 2013 when a wave of corporate refinancing is due. Refinancing means gaining a competitive advantage to be ready for Solvency II. This new mandate is driving demand for risk professionals in the insurance industry and will basically lead to them gaining more recognition at board level. This new regulation is a business priority. “It is about much more than simple regulation and  is already preoccupying chief investments officers. Solvency II is one of the most wide-ranging regulatory reforms the insurance industry has seen, and promises to have a far-reaching impact on all European insurance and reinsurance companies.” client adviser at JP Morgan asset management clarified.

General Manager and Chief Insurance Risk Officer Jeroen Potjes (ING Group) will give a flavor of the trends which will be indispensable for Solvency II Professionals to shape a robust and competitive European insurance industry at the upcoming forum - Solving Solvency II Summit.
