Continued shift to Non-Guaranteed pension

Implications from new buffer capital rules

New rules Implications for Storebrand

  • The new rules entail the introduction of a pooled and fully customer-distributed buffer fund for private guaranteed pension products
  • The new regulation enters into force on 1 January 2024
  • The buffer fund will replace the current additional statutory reserve and market value adjustment reserve, and will be able to cover negative returns
  • The rationale for the new rules is to achieve higher expected return by giving pension vendors increased buffers to take on more risk in the portfolios

Portfolio management: Increase allocation to risky assets due to increased risk-absorbing capacity from more available buffer. Paid-up portfolio divided into a further 3 sub-portfolios to achieve a better ratio between risk and return for the customers. This leads to increased expected profits for customers and shareholders.

Solvency effect: Solvency II effect as of 1 January 2023 expected to be neutral. New regulation with a positive contribution stand-alone but is offset by increased allocation to risky assets.

Supplementary information: The 'Market value adjustment' reserve will be merged with the 'Additional statutory reserves' from the 1st quarter 2024

1/2: Paid-up policy portfolio profit sharing illustration

Profit sharing dynamics for paidup policies

ILLUSTRATIVE

The number of paid-up subportfolios increased from 5 to 8, to increase expected profits for customers and shareholders from 2024.

The colour illustration on this page is applied to provide an indication on what proportion of the paid-up policy portfolio that is expected to be in profit sharing territory going forward on the next page.

Highly illustrative, based on outlook as of December 2023.
