Solvency movement from Q3 2021 to Q4 2021 Storebrand Group

Estimated solvency sensitivities

Storebrand Group

  • Strong results contribute positively to the solvency position
  • Regulatory assumptions and higher short term interest rates lowers the solvency

15 1The solvency position of Storebrand Group is calculated using the current Storebrand implementation of the Solvency II Standard model with the company's interpretation of the transition rules from the NFSA. 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 interpretation of transition rules.
