Strong progress on carbon reduction initiatives and increased investments in solution companies to meet our 2025 targets

1) Real estate is lower than normally due to the corona effect with low utilization of real estate, and thereby lower electricity usage.

2) These are investments in shares in companies that we believe are well positioned to solve challenges related to the UN's Sustainable Development Goals. Investments in solution companies are segmented into four thematic areas; renewable energy and climate solutions, the cities of the future, the circular economy and equal opportunities.

Solvency movement from Q4 2021 to Q1 2022 Storebrand Group

Estimated solvency sensitivities

Storebrand Group

Key takeaways

  • Higher interest rates, allocation changes and profit generation improve solvency
  • Market developments reduce the solvency position, but are offset by countercyclical factors including VA and symmetric equity stress

1The Solvency position of Storebrand Group is calculated using the current Storebrand implementation of the Solvency II Standard model. Output is sensitive to changes in financial markets, development of reserves, changes in assumptions and improvements of the calculation framework in the economic capital model as well as changes in the Solvency II legislation and national interpretations.

More robust capital position with increased spreads above discount rate and reduced duration mismatch

13 1Expected return based on current asset allocation with risk premia. Discount rate for liabilities based on Solvency 2 curve, hence including UFR and VA. 2Liability duration measured for Solvency 2 Best Estimate Liability, hence including future discretionary benefits and based on Solvency 2 curve with UFR and VA.
