Definitions of the EV and VNB

==> picture [69 x 43] intentionally omitted <==

Market consistent methodology

  • The EV and VNB have been determined using a market consistent methodology which differs from the traditional EV approach in respect of the way in which allowance for the risks in the business is made.

  • For the market consistent methodology, an explicit allowance for the risks is made through the estimation of the Time Value of Financial Options and Guarantees (TVFOG), Cost of Residual Non-Hedgeable Risks (CRNHR) and Frictional Cost (FC) whereas for the traditional EV approach, the allowance for the risk is made through the Risk Discount Rate (RDR).

Components of EV

The EV is calculated to be the sum of:

  • Net Asset value (NAV) or Net Worth: It represents the market value of assets attributable to shareholders and is calculated as the adjusted net worth of the company (being the net shareholders’ funds as shown in the audited financial statements adjusted to allow for all shareholder assets on a market value basis, net of tax).

  • Value of In-force (VIF): This component represents the Present Value of Future expected post-tax Profits (PVFP) attributable to shareholders from the in-force business as at the valuation date, after deducting allowances for TVFOG, CRNHR and FC. Thus, VIF = PVFP – TVFOG – CRNHR – FC.

Covered Business

  • All business of Max Life is covered in the assessment except one-year renewable group term business and group fund business which are excluded due to their immateriality to the overall EV.

Investor Release 42

Components of VIF (1/2)

==> picture [69 x 43] intentionally omitted <==

Present Value of Future Profits (PVFP)

  • Best estimate cash flows are projected and discounted at risk free investment returns.

  • PVFP for all lines of business except participating business is derived as the present value of post-tax shareholder profits from the in-force covered business.

  • PVFP for participating business is derived as the present value of shareholder transfers arising from the policyholder bonuses plus one-tenth of the present value of future transfers to the participating fund estate and one-tenth of the participating fund estate as at the valuation date.

  • Appropriate allowance for mark-to-market adjustments to policyholders’ assets (net of tax) have been made in PVFP calculations to ensure that the market value of assets is taken into account.

  • PVFP is also adjusted for the cost of derivative arrangements in place as at the valuation date.

Cost of Residual Non-Hedgeable Risks (CRNHR)

  • The CRNHR is calculated based on a cost of capital approach as the discounted value of an annual charge applied to the projected risk bearing capital for all non-hedgeable risks.

  • The risk bearing capital has been calculated based on 99.5 percentile stress events for all non-hedgeable risks over a one-year time horizon. The cost of capital charge applied is 4% per annum. The approach adopted is approximate.

  • The stress factors applied in calculating the projected risk capital in the future are based on the latest EU Solvency II directives recalibrated for Indian and Company specific conditions.

Investor Release 43

Components of VIF (2/2)

==> picture [69 x 43] intentionally omitted <==

Time Value Of Options and Guarantees (TVFOG)

  • The TVFOG for participating business is calculated using stochastic simulations which are based on 5,000 stochastic scenarios.

  • Given that the shareholder payout is likely to be symmetrical for guaranteed non-participating products in both positive and negative scenarios, the TVFOG for these products is taken as zero.

  • The cost associated with investment guarantees in the interest sensitive life non-participating products are allowed for in the PVFP calculation and hence an explicit TVFOG allowance has not been calculated.

  • For all unit-linked products with investment guarantees, extra statutory reserves have been kept for which no release has been taken in PVFP and hence an explicit TVFOG allowance has not been calculated.

Frictional Cost (FC)

  • The FC is calculated as the discounted value of tax on investment returns and dealing costs on assets backing the required capital over the lifetime of the in-force business. Required capital has been set at 170% of the Required Solvency Margin (RSM) which is the internal target level of capital, which is higher than the regulatory minimum requirement of 150%.

  • While calculating the FC, the required capital for non-participating products is funded from the shareholders’ fund and is not lowered by other sources of funding available such as the excess capital in the participating business (i.e. participating fund estate).

Investor Release 44

Key Assumptions for the EV and VNB (1/2)

==> picture [69 x 43] intentionally omitted <==

Economic Assumptions

  • The EV is calculated using risk free (government bond) spot rate yield curve taken from FBIL[1] as at 30[th] June 2021. The VNB is calculated using the beginning of respective quarter’s risk free yield curve (i.e. 31[st] March 2021).

  • No allowance has been made for liquidity premium because of lack of credible information on liquidity spreads in the Indian market.

  • Samples from 30[th] June 2021 and 31[st ] March 2021 spot rate (semi annualized) yield curves used are:

Demographic Assumptions

The lapse and mortality assumptions are approved by Board committee and are set by product line and distribution channel on a best estimate basis, based on the following principles:

▪ Demographic assumptions are set to reflect the expected long term experience.

▪ Any one-off impacts expected, including those due to COVID19, are allowed through additional provisions/allowances.

1 Financial Benchmark India Pvt. Ltd.

Key Assumptions for the EV and VNB (2/2)

==> picture [69 x 43] intentionally omitted <==

Expense and Inflation

  • Maintenance expenses are based on the recent expense studies performed internally by the Company. The VIF is reduced for the value of any maintenance expense overrun in the future. The overrun represents the excess maintenance expenses expected to be incurred by the Company over the expense loadings assumed in the calculation of PVFP.

  • Future CSR related expenses have been taken to be 2% of post tax (risk adjusted) profits emerging each year.

  • Expenses denominated in fixed rupee terms are inflated at 6.0% per annum.

  • The commission rates are based on the actual commission payable, if any.

Tax

  • The Corporate tax rate is the effective tax rate, post allowing for exemption available on dividend income. Tax rate is nil for pension business.

  • For participating business, the transfers to shareholders resulting from surplus distribution are not taxed as tax is assumed to be deducted before surplus is distributed to policyholders and shareholders.

  • Goods and Service tax is assumed to be 18%.

  • The mark to market adjustments are also adjusted for tax.
