1

2

5

  • Allocation towards profitable growth is preferred; stay disciplined
  • Challenging to allocate capital in times of low credit spreads and all-time-high stock markets
  • How much capital should be kept for future financial market crises? 3
  • An attractive alternative if meeting hurdle; will normally have to bid with significant premium 4
  • Capital base discipline; flexible distribution of excess capital if allocation cannot be made elsewhere

Determine minimum hurdle rate (RoE>20%)

Calculate returns for all internal and external allocation alternatives available, by return and risk
Capital allocation approach
Deploy capital in the most attractive alternatives above hurdle.

Release underperforming capital (COI, Price increases, WC Denmark and Norway as example)
