“Insurers are expected to hold eligible owned funds in excess of the Solvency Capital Requirement. There are two main methods of calculating the SCR under Solvency II, the standard formula and internal model methods.”
In this episode of “The Standard Formula” podcast, Rob Chaplin, host and head of Skadden’s Europe Financial Institutions Group is joined by colleague George Belcher to discuss Solvency II’s internal models (IM). Despite a higher cost of development, IMs offer numerous benefits, such as more accurate risk sensitivity, more flexibility and more available data. Rob and George also explore partial IMs, changes to existing models, the PRA approval process and implications of the U.K.'s move away from EU Solvency II standards.
