Capital Allocation

Capital allocation alternatives

Goal to maximize shareholder return

Main capital allocation alternatives

1. Determine
minimum hurdle rate
Capital allocation 2. Calculate
returns for all internal and external investment alternatives available, by return and risk
approach 3. Deploy capital in the most attractive alternatives above hurdle.
4. Release underperforming capital

Externally communicated ROE target of > 20 %

Return on equity target of >20% per year on average

Insurance and investments ties up Solvency Capital

Due to T1/T2 loans RoE of 20% equals a RoSC of 15,1%

Somewhat higher ROE vs. RoSC due to subordinate loans

Capital allocation alternatives

Insurance with high RoE's even at high combined ratios

Allocate capital to the alternatives yielding highest return on that capital (above high hurdle rates) to generate best possible risk adjusted return for shareholders

Illustrative RoSC calculation approach

• Pre-tax return on Solvency Capital

• 15% after tax implies ~18% pre-tax

Capital allocation alternatives

Allocate capital to the alternatives yielding highest return on that capital (above high hurdle rates) to generate best possible risk adjusted return for shareholders

Equities – Capital consumption and RoSC

Today we need a return of above 11% + safety margin to reach RoE target

Key variables to ROE in equity investments are (1) our risk tolerance (stress levels) and (2) portfolio returns

Bonds – Capital consumption and RoSC

Can reach RoE target with materially lower capital consumption

Bond capital requirements very sensitive to market spread levels

Opportunistic buy back

Clearly an attractive capital allocation alternative if meeting hurdle

Capital allocation alternatives

Buy back of 4.4 million shares @ 57,50 – 24th July 2018

Opportunistic – below intrinsic value

• Excess capital due to: • lower growth • lack of equity ideas meeting hurdle rates • lack of fixed income ideas meeting hurdle rates • Sharp share price drop creating a buying opportunity at perceived attractive levels long term • Bought back 4.4 million shares at 57,50 totaling 254 mnok 24. July 2018 Buy back process: • Safe harbour and auction considered. • Safe harbour would have taken 6-18 mnths • Largest shareholders presounded on Monday 23. July. • No interest on prices below 55,- • Low volume on 55,- • Some volume on 57,50 • Just above 300 mnok in volume at 60,- • When we set the price at 57,50 almost all volume at 60,- was lowered to 57,50.

Capital allocation alternatives Other alternatives better

Capital allocation alternatives

Available capital allocation frame

Excess capital a headwind for returns

Excess (and poorly performing) capital provides available capital allocation frame

  • 1. Holding too much excess capital is a significant headwind for returns.
  • 2. Patience is also key, when there is nothing intelligent to do it is a mistake to try to be intelligent

Investment strategy

Protector's financial underwriting method Continuous process improvements

  • Stress test to ensure that we withstand the volatility experienced in financial crisis
  • Portfolio allocation based on risk/reward considerations/ high hurdle rate
  • Thorough bottom-up analysis the cornerstone of our investment approach
  • Dashboards and surveillance as background

Investment strategy – Bonds Target outperformance through lower cost of risk

Peers Protector

Top down approach with limited
bottom-up analysis and follow up
Analysis
Bottom-up analysis (underwriting) and deep quarterly follow up

Bond market often slow to react to deterioring fundamentals

Relative price attractiveness

Macro & sector trends

Always fully invested

Unselective

«50% hit ratio»
Focus
Absolute attractiveness of individual risk

Terms

Redundancy

Loss given default

Always willing to replace bond risk with equity risk

Willingness to sit on the sidelines –
must always outweigh risk

Structurally advantaged to take opportunity of periods of
fund outflows

Selective –
«5% hit ratio»
Protector focus areas
Permanent loss of capital and its avoidance

Continuous development of process

Capital consumption & return on risk capital

  • Very strong performance relative to capital consumption
  • Bond portfolio 91%
  • Yield up to 2,04% at end Q3 2019 (1,95% in Q2)
    • Underlying ref. rate +11bp
  • HY portfolio reduced further in Q3 2019

Illustrative HTD return

Bond portfolio – capital consumption

1,6bn lower capital consumption on slightly lower expected return

HTD outperformance at lower risk and capital consumption

1¨Carnegie Corp. Bond Fund as proxy for crossover bond fund

2¨Capital consumed in stress = after tax loss + capital consumption under SII

Illustrative investment process HY bonds

Good company and/or especially strong terms, but too pricy Meeting hurdle rate, high level of analysis predictability & okay owning equity in bond default

Low forecastability & confidence in estimated cost of risk

Bond portfolio - sector distribution analysis

No oil service, low oil (E&P) and very limited real estate

Sector distribution comments

  • Well diversified portfolio
  • Move towards higher rated bonds in period 2015-2019
  • Low exposure to oil and oil services sector vs 32% of HY bonds in Norway
  • Very low exposure to real estate vs 47% of HY bonds in Sweden
